The old remonstrance means of getting rid of saloons is still employed in some places. Cambridge City, which is located in Wayne county, which was voted “wet” two years ago, had at one time thirty saloons and the saloon element made itself particularly obnoxious. The people have finally succeeded in remonstrating the-last saloon out of existence and Cambridge City is now “dry,” the last saloon having blinked out) last night.

Thus, there will her something doing at the opera house four out of the six nights of next week.

As surmised by The Republican, there were several applications for saloon lioenses presented to the boards of county commissioners over the state at the February term. The applicants got in before the commissioners had ordered elections and in counties that become legally “wet” the latter part of this month. At Petersburg the commissioners held the applications up until the March meeting and ordered an election on Feb. 28th In the parts of the county affected. At Qreenaburg, Influenced by temperence workers, the commissioners held up the applications until a special meeting of the board to be held Feb. 15th. There is a possibility that some Judge may rule that the applications should have been granted whenever Hied, because at the time the application was presented the election had not been held. This was doubtless one of the schemes the backers of the bill had in view and the tardy signing of the bill contributed to the scheme by keeping petitioners for an election in the dark as to whether it would be signed at or not At Oreensburg there is a chance that the special meeting of the board to bejtold next Wednesday will grant tbe licenses applied for.

SOME JASPER COUNTY FORTY-NINERS GOSSIP.

Celebrate Simon Phillips’ Eight jElghth Birthday With Reminiscent Review at Fate’s. I,lj J Simon Phillips is 88 years of age today, Feb, Bth, and in honor of the event Landlord Fate invited Norman Warner, John English and George Pumphrey to dine with him at the Fate Case. All four of the men are among the oldest living residents of Jasper county. Mr. Phillips was born in Ohio and came to Jasper connty from Rush county in 1846. John English, who is 78 years of age, came to Jasper in 1849; Norman Warner, who is 77 years old, came here in 1850, and George Pumphrey, who is 67, located with liis parents in Iroquois township, now in Newton county, but at that time a part of Jasper county. Mr. and Mrs. Fate sat at the table, but George was unable to do his usual amount of talking, owing to the fact that the conversation was directed to reminiscent topics dating way back of the period when Fate became identified with the digging of the Jungles ditch. The table was laden with many good things to eat, and in the center was a large cake bearing the figures 1823-1911, the first being the date of* birth of the guest of honor. It was a pleasant'gathering and enjoyed by all the participants.

Little Boy Recovering From A Long Siege of Sickness.

Little Jay Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Van Wood, who will be five years old in June, has had more than his share of trouble, having been an invalid for the past year. About eight months ago his doctor found it necessary to operate on—him for the! removal of pus from the pleura. The condition was so serious that the pus could not be drained off at the time and it has continued to drain ever since thai time through a tube inserted from ths back near the shoulder blade. This tube was not removed until a day or two ago and the drainage still continues but is gradually becoming less and it is ..now believed that it will soon stop altogether and that the wound can then heal up. The little patient is now gaining strength and the parents and the physicians think there is a fine probability that he will entirely qutgrow the trouble and become a healthy child.

Rural Route Carriers Will Probably Get Salary Increase.

A bill Introduced in congress provides for an increase in salary for rural route carriers from S9OO to SI,OOO per year. As there are approximately 2,000 carriers in Indiana this would mean an increase -of $200,000 in this state. Postoffice department officials do not favor the increase because the department is trying to reduce expenses, but congress seems disposed to authorize the increase over the objections of the department. With the high cost of caring for horses the rural carrier's job at S9OO is not a very fat one and the additional hundred would be put in a good place. The policy of the government in all departments is to pay well for the service performed and the increase for carriers would still leave them about the poorest paid servants of the government.
