It is to be Governor Adams of Colorado, the republican supreme court of that state refusing to prostitute the court in order to give republicans office. Col. Baker of the Columbia City Commercial, wins out in the postoffice tight that had developed almost a national contest. The new congressman from the twelfth district has developed into quite a diplomat, as this appointment meu3f .jmw.spaper retirement for Editor Baker.Jand the peaceful settlement of a disagreeable factional strife. It also shows that the average republican is willing to sacrifice his independence for the emoluments of public office. It is now Governor Hanley in fact as well as in name. Since his elec tion Indiana’s new governor has given many evidences of being a chief executive that will reflect; credit upon such an i.upertant commonwealth. Os course John W. Kern would perhaps have come nearer representing the common people, but as we can not always get the best, the progressive spirit of this century .teaches us to be satisfied with that which we have. We congratulate Governor Hanley and wish him a prosperous and successful official life. A GOOD ONE County Institute Held at Btrne Saturday. The Adams County institute that was held Saturday at Berne, was one of the best. institutes that the Adams County association has ever held. The attendance far surpassed all expectations and many had to | be turned away. The program in trod need brought forth some excel-! lent paper. Thebestone probably was furnished by C. E. Brenner whose subject was “Teaching Agriculture in Rural Schools,’’ after which a general discussion of the subject was had. The meeting was presided over by C. D. Kunkle, of Monmouth, who conducted the meeting in his usual easy manner. The program also consisted of mu-' sic and recitations, all of which w> re well received by the audience. | Mr Kunkle is enthusiastic of the the Jesuit of the institute and says the same is increasing in interest, with each event. — HAS ESCAPED Dan Twidd Broke Away From the Logansport Hospital. Logansport Ind., Jan. B.— Daniel Tuigg, who was brought from War- I saw and placed in Longcliffe hospital for the insane two weeks ago, made his escape Thursday night and al) search for him has been in ! vain.

BOWLINGALLEY E. S. Ball, of Mattoon. Illinois, to Open One Here. Reliable information has been received in this city from Mattoon, 111., that one Evreett L. Bill, will ’in a few days ship his New Brunswick bowling alleys from that place and open up a fine bowling alley in this place. He has secured the old window screen building which was formerly occupied by a bowling alley, and which can again be pressed into service with little or no expense. Mr. Ball will put in two alleys, which are new. having only been used two weeks, and only lightly at that. Decatur w.ll without doubt support a first-clf.ss alley and Mr. Ball will meet with success here. iioiiicMtic Diplomacy. Grimes— 1 suppose you tell your wife everything when you get home?

Get Out of the Rut. It is never best to travel in a rut. It ■ is wearisome. It is nerve destroying. Wise people choose the smoother road. I or if that ro: d must be traveled they try to till up the ruts with stones and gravel. There is such a thing as get- | ting out of the rut. and the world would be better and happier if more of 1 us did it? fhnrni of Poverty. Poverty adds a thousand charms to love.
