It is pretty generally believed by publishers of newspapers that teachers are not liberal patrons of the press.— Rushville Jacksonian.
In this county such a state of affairs does not exist. The REPUBLICAN numbers among its subscribers the majority of the school teachers of Hancock county and the paper is taken in nearly all of the families where'the rest of the teachers belong. This can be accounted for in two ways, we have an extra good corps of teachers who apppreciate a good paper and the REPUBLICAN has an extra large circulation. Next week we will begin our school news column and keep it up regularly which will make the REPUBLICAN more interesting than ever for teachers.

Tom New and Jinks Williams went hunting this morning. No telling what they will bring in, but we naturally expect that some farmer will be shy of a few barn-yard fowls. *1
An exchange says that an Indiana township trustee has discovered that this is the month of wife desertions. He says many unhung scoundrels live with their wives all summer and then desert them in the fall of the ye«r, and then the forsaken families become charges oa the townships in which they reside while the husbands work free lunch counters,

THE SOPPLI OF GAS
The Gas luspector Has Decided to Thoroughly Test It. State Natural Gas Inspector Leach is of the opinion that many gas companies of the State are suppressing facts that should be m*de known §to him concerning their real supply of fuel. It is believed by him that many towns wili find themselves short of gas when cold weather sets in. After an investigation he is to make 'a report, which will embrace, says the Kokomo Dispatch, every phase and branch of the natural gas question, and will be a record of facts and logical deduction not idle theories or guess, couched in scientific anguage.
The report will be. a record of weights measurements, records of tests made in the field, a full fair and accurate reflex of the natural gas situation in Indiana.
During the coldest weather, when the temperature puts to the test all the gas systems ia the cities, towns and factories, Inspector Leach will make a complete tour of the State, examine every plant, test its capacity both at point of consumption and at the walls. It is known that some companies having plenty of gas are stinting their patron", claiming they are short, when in fact they are holding the gas back. This business will not go with inspector Leach He will test tke supply in fields and will know in minute when gas is being withheld from the patrons.
The Indigo S^clal^
The Indigo social at th$ home of John A. Barr, on North State street last nighr, was a complete success. It was given for the benefit of the Christian church and was largely attended many being present from other churches. The program was carried out as published in the REPUBLICAN, and there were a uumber of volunteers, including Misses Helen Cook and Lulu Curry. All did well. The refreshments were of course,
first-
class, as Mrs. Barr and those she called to her assistance are artists in that line. As it was an Indigo social, however, there were some puzzling names for the various dishes. Dr. King, however, got around that nicely by ordering the entire Lill of fare, but his wife remarked that it was a case of the "Doctor not knowing what he was talking tibout." About $12.00 was taken in and every one enjoyed the social, literary and musical features of thefoccasion.

THE HAUNTED KITCHEN.
T«rrible Fright of a Belated Cook and Her Precipitate Flight. Out in tlie neighborhood of Iowa circle lives a government clerk who has grown gray in the services of his country, and with his gray hairs have gradually crept up in him several ills that flesh is heir to, among others an occasional touch of insomnia. Insomnia breeds irritability, and his irritability had been stirred to its lowest depths by inability to get a satisfactory hired girl, but a month or so ago he was fortunate enough to get a "settled woman," who was pretty near perfection. She was a good cook, staid in nights except when her "s'ciety" met, and in other ways was a model. About once a month the oblong piece of buff colored paper that was slipped under the basement door by the gasman would bring a frown to Mr. 's brow, but he would onlycaution the hired girl to turn down the gas when not using it. A few nights ago a "s'ciety" meeting had called the girl out before she finished washing the dinner dishes, and she hadn't returned when the family retired for the night.
Mr. had a protracted interview with his enemy, the sleep killer, the same night and could find no rest. In vain he thought over all his misdeeds and counted 100 backward and forward several times. Sleep wouldn't come, so, after tossing about until long after midnight, he finally got up and sat at the window. Happening to look down into the yard, he saw a streak of light glinting from the basement shutters, and he thought of burglars. Creeping stealthily down the stairs, he heard dishes, so he went back up to his room. Then he got mad at this wanton waste of gas, and going to the speaking tube yelled, "Put out that gas and go to bed!" It was the first time there had been an occasion to use the tube since the new girl came, and she hadn't been introduced to it before.
A smothered exclamation in the kitchen, the noise of a chair knocked over and pans rattling to the floor \yere followed by a scurrying up stairs, three steps at a time, and the badly scared colored woman gathered her few belongings in her room and made a rush for the front door. Mr. tried to intercept her, but she was thoroughly frightened and wouldn't stop. "Lerume go, boss lemme go. I wouldn't work heah any mo' fer all the money in the treasury. I was washin the dishes down stairs jes' now and a loud voice come right through the tin pan I was jes' hangin np, and it said, 'Put out dat gas and go to h—!' I know this bouse is haunted, and I wouldn't work heah any 1110' for nuifin.'' And she wouldn't. The next evening in the "want" column of The Star was an ad. for a settled colored woman to do housework up at some hundred and something Thirteenth street.—Washing-

No other nian- is so well equipped for the task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure In In* diana almost continuously since it was admitted to Statehood He Was secretary* of the Constitutional Convention, and, hi® personality Is strongly marked in the oreanio law as well as In much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth ha» afforded him opportunities for devoting? his entire attention to literary labor. HW 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 CONQUEST OP THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to be kindly remembered as an Indianlan whose motives have been often misconstrued, and whose real worth as a .man and citizen has been often Ignored lift unreasonable political bias and human DSj ture's Inherent prejudice against men W Immense wealth.—Lafayette Courier.
