THE

BEAUTIFUL METAL THAT

VIES IN

COLO It WITH THE

CRESCENT MOON.

Never before has this grand and useful metal been so appreciated. This, indeed, may be called the Silver Age.

In no other country on the face of th'e earth is Silver in the form of Tableware and Novelties so generally and largely diffused as in the United States.

These conditions, in a country so generously endowed with Silver .• mines and skilled Artificers, are certainly in accordance with the h--, fitness of things.

A Characteristic Letter From Jerry Simpson.

Recently O. C. Irwin wrote to Jerry Simpson, of Medicine Lodge, Kan., in regard to putting in an electric light plant there, and received the following characteristic letter from the sockless Statesman.

MEDICINE LODGE, KAN. No 28, 1895.

MI: O. C. IRWIN, Greenfield, Ind. DEAR SIR:—In reply to yours of Nov. 19th, in which you want information in regatd to a location for an electric light plant, will say that Medicine Lodge is not the place you are looking for, for several reasons, first not sufficient population and all too poor, can hardly afford to burn oil. Too much protection and gold standard has done us up corn 15 cents and everything else in proportion.

Give us free silver and free trade and then you can come out West with your electric light plant: we need it, but at present we can stand it to read our mortgages by the light the 15c corn Are.

Truliy yours, JERRY SIMPSON

AFTER US.

A PLEASANT -OOKING WOMAN SEEMS TO HAVE IT IN FOR A REPORTER.

An Old Grudge Revived iu the Mayor's Office Ye»terday Morning—We Played Innocent Hut it Wouldn't Stick With

Mrs. Woods.

Cowhided! That is just what Mrs. Woods, of East Main street, threatened to do the REPUBLICAN reporter at the Mayor's office, Monday.

Iu our rounds for news we happened in the Mayor's offio3, knowing that there were several cases on the docket to be tried, but little did we think when we entered the private office of Mayor Duncan that we were about to have the la&h used upon us, but such was the case.

There was seated in the office Mrs. Woods, who, as sh- de-lared, had at some time past, been misrepresented by us while doing work on the Tribune. She claimed that we had said that she needed a case of "white capping," but informed us without much ceremony that if any thing further appeared in the papers aoout her. that we were the one that would get the lash.

Of course we have written many things, have often been threatened, but this is the first time that one of the frail sex has openly declared war upon us, and we really believe bad she taken the second look she would undoubtedly have modified her remarks, but she didn't, and now we are hourly expecting to be met on the street by this woman, who poses as the "Angel of Happy Hollow," with a good stout gad and have it applied in a systematic manner.

Now, Mrs. Wood, you can]find us at the ofiice, ready at any and all times to receive callers, and prefer, that is, of course, if ic does not discommode you to any alarming extent, to call here and settle your grievances and thus save us the deep humiliation that would necessarily follow a severe chastising on the streets, but be sure, when you come, that the cowhide is in good shape, as we would hate to see you make a failure.

Personally, we know nothing about you, and all we have ever said has been the voice of your neighbors, who have not given you the best reputation, but we have r.ot said one half that has come to our ears. We say this in the way of an apology—accept it if you will if not we will have to suffer the consequences. See?

Win. C. Walker Again in Court.

Thomas Walker has petitioned the Court to have his father, Wm. C. Walker declared of unsound mind. Wm. C. Walker is one of Hancock county's oldest citizens. Up to a few years ago he was one of the most successful farmers in the county. His wife died about three years ago, and some time afterwards he married a young divorced widow from Lapel, Ind. To his new bride he gav® considerable money and deeded her quite a tract of land. It seems that the new wife soon tired of him. She became a little gay and began flirting with other men. A Mrs. Brown brought a damage suit against her, charging her with alienating the affection of her husband. Mrs. Walker had at this time sold her land and the money was deposited in the Greenfield banks. Mrs. Brown got a restraining order from the Court, restraining the banks from paying over the money to Mrs. Walker, pending the suit. A compromise was effected and Mrs. Walker left town on the first train. The last time she was heard from she was in Massachusetts with another man. In the present proceedings before the Court, the Prosecuting Attorney is resisting the appointment of a guardian. He was to have been assisted by Marsh & Cook, but the attorneys for the plaintiff asked that the latter firm show by what authority and for whom they appeared. They replied that they appeared at the request of the'Prosecutor, but the Court required them to( make an affidavit that they were not employed by a third party. This they said they could not do. It seems that the parties who now own so ne of the land formerly owned by Mrs. Walker, are considerably concerned in the result ©f this suit,

NOT ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS.

No Jute Rope Being U«ed in the Sewer— Streets Being Left iu Bad Condition.

It is reported that the city sanitary sewer which is being put in now, is not going in according to the plans and specifications. It was specified that jute rope soaked in cement should be used in the tile joints, but it is not being done, as the contractor and engineer say that it is just as good without the rope. It saves the contractor several hundred dollars, however. The specifications also say that no street shall be opened more than three days at a time that dirt and gravel shall not be mixed but put back separately, as found, so that tie gravel be on top that the dirt be tamped and slushed, and the street left with the raise in the ditch not over six inches above the origi nal level and the street left in good condition. Anyone looking at the condition of the streets where the work has been completed, will see that it has been very negligently done. If the specifications were carried out and lived up to, the streets would practically be in as gocd condition when the work is done as when it was commenced. It is the duty of the engineer to protect tbe rights of the people, and he should make the contractor do the work properly. We do not believe the Council will pay for work improperly done, so if the contractor wants full pay, let him do full work.

Reunion of the 19tli Kentucky Infantry, S A

The surviving members of the 19th Kentucky, living in Central Indiana, held their annual reunion at the home of Comrade George Pollard, near Wanamaker, Marion county, last Thursday. It has been the custom of this organization to meet at the home of one of its members each Thanksgiving day. Last year they met at the home of T. D. Cotton, of this city, where five old men with their families spent the day in social conversation. One of the leatures of the meeting is a good dinner furnished by the host and hostess.

This organization consisted 01 the fol lowing Dr. J. S. Sparks, surgeon ot the regiment W. T. Cummins, Capt. Co. I. also G. D. Cummins and T. D. Cotton of the same company, and George Pollard, of Co. H. Dr. J. A. Comstock, of the 83d Ind., whose regiment served in the same brigade with these comrades, is an honor ary member of this organization. It was arranged at the last meeting to hold the meeting this year at the home of Comrade Sparks, at Carthage, but since that time he has been summoned to the last roll call and is now numbered with the silent thousands of our comrades of '61 and '65, hence the change.

The remaining four comrades and their families and friends to the number of thirty, sat down to the table filled to overflowing with everything calculated to tempt the appetite of an old veteran. At the head of the table was placed Comrade Sparks' chair, heavily draped,which remained vacant throughout the meal. There was a noticeable absence of levity and light talk during the noon hour. "Absent from the body, present with the Lord."

One by one we ar6 passing to the brighter shore, and the new chords transfered from earth to heaven, draw us nearer to the higher service above.

Resolved, That in the death of Comrade Sparks we have lost one who was a loving companion, a kind father and a consistent Christian, and this organization has lost one whose pi* ce can not be filled in the affection and esteem of its members.

Resolved, Tint we extend to the bereaved family the sympathy and condolence of this organization.

Comrade Pollard and his good wife have the thanks of all present for the excellent dinner and splendid entertainment furnished. Adjourned to meet at the home of Capt. Cummins, near Acton, Ind., Thanksgiving day, 1896.

Should any comrade of the 19th Kentucky, wherever you may be, see this report, consider yourself invited and make it a point to be with us at next meeting.

THIS

Hork Wm. H. English, of Indtanapol&% Is certainly deserving of the highest coiv mend&tion for his action in withdrawing. from public life several years aero in ordeS^ to devote himself to the task of writing history of Indiana, the introduction OX which Is now appearing In two volume# under the title of "CON*}UE8T OF THU NORTHWEST. He Is a millionaire and it is therefore unreasonable to suppose thait his work along historical line® was animated by any spirit of aelflshnes# or sordldness. No other man is so well equipped for the t&sk he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost conUnuously since it waa^ admitted to Statehood). He was secretary? of the Constitutional Convention, and. hia1 personality Is strongly marked In the organlc law as well as In much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth ha* afforded him opportunities for devoting his entire attention to literary labor. HU intimacy with public men and State ana Federal officials, has given him exceptional facilities for gaining access to documents necessary to insure thoroughness ,, and exactness in the preparation of hi® history. After .several years of ardent devotion and labor, undertaken in a spirit of State pride and for pure love of it, the publication of "THE C-ONQUIi/ST OF THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to be kindly remembered as an Indlanian whose motives have been often mlsconstrued, and whose real worth as a man and citizen has been often Ignored BJfl unreasonable political bias and human naj ture's Inherent prejudice against men P0 Immense wealth.—Lafayette .Courier,
