10 CENTS PER WEEK.
Several parties have requested the publishers of the DAILY NEWS to call at their business places and see about advertising. Previous to the issuing of the first number, we had nothing to show to an advertiser but a piece of white paper. Now that the DAILY NEWS is before them, we shall ''call and see about advertising" within a few days.
Situations Wanted, and Help Wanted. DAILY NEWS will print advertisements of persons wanting work or situations, and of those needing help of any kind, without charge--such advertisements not to exceed 30 words. This is proposed because it is believed it will aid many who need and desire work, and we cordially invite all interested to avail themselves of the means offered. It must be remembered that letters through the mail are not delivered to initials only. If initials are used, the letter should be directed to the care of some individual, firm, or postoffice box, and if for city delivery, the postage is two cents. The DAILY NEWS has boxes at the office for the reception of letters addressed to its care, and such letters will delivered only to the advertiser holding a check for the box number.

FIRE.
Keyes & Sykes' Hub and Spoke Factory Burned.
About the hour of 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the hub and spoke factory of Messrs Keyes & Sykes, on the £., T. H. & C. RR just at the edge of the city limits, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was at once given, and the workmen at the factory formed into a bucket brigade, and the fire department snmmon ed. The scarcity of water—the pipes not reaching the factory by half a mile—and the high wind prevailing made it impossible to save the main buildings. All the completed work, books and accounts were saved. The damage will amount to probably $50,000, with insurance in Mayor Havens' companies to amount of about $28,000 on the property destroyed. Workmen to the number of 150 at least will be thrown out of employment until the works are rebuilt, which is as much to boregretted as the damage by fire. The firm had orders ahead for several weeks, to say^jiothing of valuable seasoned ma-terial-on hand, difficult to replace. The stock of finished work has been placed in the rooms of C. A. Power, 104 and 106 Main street.
We learn from the Express:. "The dry house is situated at the north of the main building, and is divided into three departments, one upon the other, making it three stories in heighth. The fire originated in the lower department, and the gas generated by the burirng combustibles* ascending to the upper department, became so heated that an explosion was the result. The explosion threw the fire into the wheel room, in the second story of the main building. The cause of the fire is not known, as the dry house is scarcely ever entered except when wishing to take out some stock, but Mr. Keyes assured the reporter that it coutd not possibly have been the work of an incendiary."
The city was mil of rumors all day yesterday of pei^ons being killed or injured, but happily none of them "were correct. The DAILY Nkws can hear of no one being hurt bad enough to give the name of the doctor wheftiressed the wounds
I'miiiK Jlfri'* Republican Club. At the meeting of the Young Men's Republican Club, on last Monday evening, an excellent speech was made by Hon 9'"kin E. Rhoads, of this city. New members to the number of 64 were, added, making a total to date of 844.
Hon P. S. Kennedy, of Crawfordsville, Wis selected as the next speaker. Hon Thos. H. Nelson, will speak at the hall on to-morrow, Friday, evening. A
A letter was read from Gen M. C. Hrititer, accepting an invitation to address the Club, and fixing Monday evening, June 7, as the date.
The following resolution was unanimously adopted: V'-, 51''*"' Reaolted, ,That we regard Hon M. C. Hunter as a fit and proper. person and our choice for Governor of the State of Indiana, and pledge him our united support to secure such nomination. .r?
A permanent executive commfttee of five were selected, as follows: First ward, J. O. Hardesty Second ward, N. M. Diall Third ward, Alphonzo Giintan: Fourth ward, George H. Webb Fifth ward. \y. H. Stepp Sixth ward, J. H. Reynolds.
•-•Some of the newspaper people of this city predict that the subscription pricc of the
DAILY NEWS—10
cents per week—
is too low for profit, in view of the fact that printing paper has advanced 50 to 60 per cent, in price during the past two months. The publishers had some misgiving* on this point, but as they propose to furnish the public "good goods** for the money, they are fain to believe the public will appreciate the quality and buy liberally. The
DAILY NKWS
hopes to secure
2,000 subscribers within 60 days, and give every one the worth of the investment Ten cents—one dime—per week, delivered at your door.

The tirent Knyllsh Commoner'* Idewt on Education. John Bright.
Education is not even classics land mathematics, of wliicli, in my da}', when I was young, I knew nothing, and of which I nave not acquired any knowledge since. I regard what are called classics—that is, the ancient languages of Greece and Rome —as rather luxurious than anything else. I do not myself believe that there is any thing in the way of wisdom which is to be attained in any of the books of the old languages which at this moment may not be equally attained in books of our own literature. Therefore I think a man may be as £reat, as good and as wise a man, knowing only his own language and the wisdom that is enshrined in it, as if he knew all the Latin and Greek books that had ever been written. I think with regard to teachers, they have two entirely different branches ot labor. They have that of instructing their pupils from books, and they have that of instructing them from their own conduct and their own manners. You want to teach a child to be gentle—and I must say that is better than book-learning—not the gentleness that is weakness, for there is perfect gentleness which is combine! with great force.
You want gentleness, you want humanUv. HumanTty to animals is one point If I were a teacher of a school I would make it a very important part of my business to imbue every boy and girl first with the duty of being kind to all animals. It is impossible to say how much evil there is in the world from the barbarity and unkindoess which people show to p*hat we call the inferior creatures. Then there is the quality of unselfishness. Selfishness in families is the cause of misery and the canse of great injustice. Unselfishness and a love of justice—these are qualities which come if you offer them to a yonng person's mind. And I have no doubt that it is possfble for the teachers In the elementary schools of Birmingham during the next ten years or so, during which they will have two or IhVee generations of children under their care, so to impress on their minds these subjects that twenty years hence it wttt be seen and felt over the whole town that there is an improvement in these respects in the general popfliation. These are things which, 1 think, it behooves the teachers in these schools to hear in mind. They cannot possibly have too high a sense of the re«ponsib(lfite* of their positions and their duties.

DAII/ST
The DAILY NKWS solicits advertisements, and rates will be found elsewhere. It will be seen that these rates are computed by the line, and for advertisements occupying short length of space, with daily changes, if the advertiser sees fit to make them. This is the kind of advertising that is preferred. Space in the paper is valuable, and ads. for "filling" are not sought for. The larger sheets, with their cheap patent medicine and absolutely dead "fill up" advertising, may cover a larger sheet of wlijte paper, but that gives them no value. The DAILY NKWS has no dead space. Every line counts. We want our advertising to be news in itself, and hence worth five times to the advertiser which it would be if concealed in "fill up" ruBbish. We believe in the system of having the business man advertise when he has something to communicate to the public, and not compel him to take a space which is prncti cally dead to bim nine months in the year, in order to have a low rate, while in reality he is paying an excessive rate for the three months when the advertisement may be of advantage to him. The cus-' toms, as regards advertising, of the large cities can be just as well adapted to the smaller ones, and such an innovation would grow in popularity as it became thoroughly understood.
After the above had been placed In the printer's hands, the following paragraph va last Saturday's issue of the Peoria Call was shown us. It expresses our views as fully and clearly as if we had been »t Mr. Henderson's elbpw prompting him as he wrote:
In this age, advertising is an almost indespensable means of increasing trade.
But to be successful it must be done intelligently. In few departments of business is there more misrepresentation apd
downright swindling than in that of golic-, iting advertisements. Agents scour the city for tdl sorts of catch penny schemes of advertising, and gudgeons enough are alwaps found to make the worthless schemes pay. An enormous amount of money is thus thrown away, which, judiciously used, would have brought good returns. Newspaper advertising, Tf done judiciously, will always pay, and it comes pretty nearly the only kind of advertising that will pay. But a business man who t* a business man will do his advertising in his own way and without waiting to Ix* "solicited" to do it. Advertising should be as much a part of a man's business as the buying and selling of his goods or the keeping of his accounts. He will never get rich by sitting down and waiting for somebody to come along and urge him to advertise. He should have "get up"~ enough about him to attend, fo it withotU^,
urging.

from the merchants and business men, mechanics and professionals, of Terre Haute. It does not propose, however* that its solicitors shall buzz around their ears hour by hour with the pertinacity of a modern book agent, until their solicit a- vtions are rewarded. The publishers of this paper propose to make it worthy of a large subscription list, and that it will re-1 ceive such a subscription they do not for a moment doubt It is an established fact that newspaper advertising is the most valuable medium by which an in-' dividual can place his goods or wares, or his occupation before the public and the value is in proportion to the number who will likely see the advertisement. As to the value of an advertisement in the DAILY NKWS, we will say that we print to-day 1,000 copies, and shall print no less to-morrow, or any succeeding day.Wo do not start with this number of subscribers, we admit but. each copy printed will be placed, like Oakes Ames' money was a few years ago, where it will do the most good. The subscription list will exceed this number before the expiration of the month.

So enervating is the life in the depart- •. ment, through ltetffc work and sure pay, that the youngp rn^Hwho has once experiencea its relax!ng influences, loses all good for active business life. Not long ago a gentleman acquaintance of mine tried to secure the services of a youngfcJ low employed in the Interior department The latter once had been noted for his energy, quickneas and activity he had taken care of himself since be was a boy.' His early life had bred in him unusual habits of self-reliance, confidence and energy. Three years ago he was one of the most faithful and untiringof workers. A little over a year ago be secured, through a friend, a place in the Interior department at a salary of $100 a monthIt a place where he has sot the remotest chance of promotion. Through this year of non-action the lad has been thoroughly rained for active business.
