Presbyterian Church Services.

The subject of the morning sermon I for next Sabbath will be “The Sentinel," and in the evening the pastor I will speak on “The Measure of a I Man.” Everybody welcome. , I Here is something for the school children to think over, and maybe it I will set some older heads to guessing. I Who will give the correct solution I first? Multiply $5 by $5 and the result is $25. Now multiply 500 cents, pure and simple, not as a fractional part of We do and are surprised to see the figure" climb up to I 260,000, wtich is $2,500. As $5 and 600 cents are equivalent, the result is] puzzeling. It cannot be urged that] decimal marks should be used. A cent,] as such, is as distinct a unit as a dollar, and as the result is to be announced in cents, the decimal can not be pleaded in extenuation of the rather surprising result. But there is clearly something wrong. J Leaving a note at her home that she intended to commit suicide, Elizabeth Murdock, 16-year-old daughter of H. D. Murdock, of Seymour, manager of the Indianapolis ft Louisville Traction company, to the house of an acquaintance at Farmington and killed herself by drinking carbolic acid late Thursday afternoon.

Another Enumeration.

It is estimated that at least 20,000 men will be employed H>y the two parties in Indiana in taking a poll of the voters, during the month. These men are paid an average of two dollars per day and it requires at least three days to a precinct, from which it will be seen that the cost of taking the poll will be for wages alone, $60,000. Two polls are taken which brings the expense up to $120,000. It will be well to remember that poll taking must be completed by September 8, that the law is as strict as any other part of the election law It binds the poll taken to obtain accurate and truthful information or who give false information to the poll taker.
