Democratic candidates for pla* ces on th - state ticket are coming to* the front. Albert Gall, a prominent business man of Indianapolis, desires the Democratic nomination fcr Treasurer of State. Mr. G. is highly recommended for the position.

The gabant Capt. W. J.Hilligas, who defeated the convicted Republican knight of the golden circle, L. P. Milligan, for the Senate a few years ago, desires the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State. He would fill the position cr«d tably. The Republican Outrage Mills started m operation in the south to furnish grists to the hands of republicans in the present congress to force radical legislation and secure control of elections in that section, presented Ingalls, of Kansas with the first batch, which he spread out before the Senate the other day. Billee Chandler and Ingalls are a precious pair of jackasses.

We comm Mice Jthis week the publication (f Mr. Voorhees’ speech on republican obstruction to the arrest of Dudley on his late visit to Indianapolis. One gets but a faint conception of Jhe force and power of the Senator’s utterances from the condensed form sent out by correspondents. We bespeak for it a careful perusal.

We are infoimed that the political chameleon who, astride of a white horse, sashed, be ted, and with flowing raven locks, Are in his eye and proud mein, was pressed to the front by a few admiring friends on the occasion of the Democratic rally at this place in 1888> took a prominent part in the Republican district convention at Hammond the other day. As the affair in 1888 cost the Democracy of Jasper a large number of votes we hope and pray that that of a few days ago may ope -ate far moie disastrously to the republican party of this district. The insinuation 01 Senator Edmunds that the “Morey” letter was a Democi atic forgery revives the fact that Johnny Davenport, Republican supervisor of elections in New York, failed in his effort to trace it to Democratic origin. The fact remains that the sentiments of the letter were borne out in the speeches and votes of Mr. Garfield in the House Mr. Garfield never positively denied writit, although urged by his party to to do so, and we guess he wrote it. Senator Edmunds’ allusion to it, therefore, was in very bad taste.

The Valparaiso Messenger says: “Some of the Democrats of DeKalb county are making blanked fools of themselves by sanctioning the establishmont of a second Democratic paper at Auburn If they don’t like the editor of the Courier buy him out. Two Democratic papers in the same town work about as charmingly as two wives under the same roof. Hairpulling is the result. The Demo crats of DeKalb can give the county to the Republicans by sanctioning the establishment of a second Democratic paper in that town.'

Harriet (Jar is) Cover was born ioo?°^ e , count y> Oh i o , June 25, looD; died at her home - n Union township, Jasper county, Ind January 10, 1890, aged s<‘years. 6 months and 16 days.

She was a teacher in the public schools for eleven terms, and a teacher and worker in he Sunday Schools for many years. She joined the Christian church in 1853 and was a faithful and zealous n ember until the Her husband and all her children were present at the funeral, and also Airs. Sarah E. Johnson, a sister, from Belmont county, Ohio. The funeral was held Sunday, Jan. 12, and was conducted bElder E. D. Pierson. The interment was in Prater graveyard. The sorrowing husband and children desire to express, thro’ these columns, their sincer thanks to the many friends for aid and sympathy in their affliction.

The school authorities of Daviess count y announce a saving to the county by the use of the new school books of over $2,500. Sweden is perhaps the most Protestant country in the world; of a population of 6, 000,000 there are only 2,000 Roman Catholics, the remainder of the population belonging almost entirely to the Lutheran church.. Here is a way to tell how fast you are traveling in a railway car: Every time the car passes oyer a rail joint there is a distinct click. Count the number of these clicks in twenty seconds and you have the num ber of miles the train is going per hour. This is a simple matter of arithmetic, as the length of the rail is uniform. An exchange gives the following advice to mothers: Boxing the ears as a means of punishing children is a dangerous practice. There are many recorded cases in which the drum of the ear has been ruptured by this method of punishment, and, a short time ago a death was caused by it in England; the ear drum was ruptured, ear diseases set in and extended to the brain, causing death. After all, the slipper properly applied is the best means of castigation, and no ear diseose can result from its use. A Nebraska farmer puts for ward a new remedy for hog cholera, which he elaims to have used with success. We quote it from the Indiana Farmer for what it may be worth: “Instead of dosing the sick porkers with medicine he takes them out riding. He places a few at a time in a big wagon and drives pell-mell over the lots and pastures, seeking the roughest places he can find. After a few such drives, hogs that before refused to eat began to feed and get t etter. He has not lost a single hog since he began this treatment, and thinks he- has demonstrated its utility.

The girls in Waterbury, Conn., got the‘putty jar craze,’ and they made life a burden to the policemen of that town for awhile. The policemen natr rally inferred that all the young ladies in the street had gone stark mad. Bevies of fascinating and beautiful girls were seen to dart suddenly into the street now and then, pounce upon something in the gutter or on the roadbed, pick it up, and then return to the sidewalk and trip serenely on. They were merely gathering raw material for the putty jar craze. One bewitching maiden fluently explained what the puttv jar business is. “It’s lots of fun,” said she; “you bet it is. Why, you get, any kind Ox a jar, the cuter the better, and you get your father or brother to roll out some putty, then and you have him cover every part of the jar with the putty. Have him stick it about half an inch thick. It will stick on of itself. you have lots of sport, everything you can think of and pick up in the house, or yard, or street, o. the putty, and in every sort °t odd designs. Old buttons and screws look pretty good, and bits of dolls are awfully cute. do y° u think I did? I stole a suspender buckle of my father’s, and jabbed it on the Jar, and I have found lots of things on the stree that odd and cunning on the putty. Kmc*knacks from the factor ies and odds and ends from the shops look good, too, and after you have got the jar all stuck up, then you have it bronzed and varnished. 1 hat’s all Ihere is to the putty jar craze. —Cor.
