GROVEU has been doing a good deal of shooting since he moved to the White House, but this is the first time he ever really hit tho bull's eye.

For President: Tom Taggart, of Indiana for vice-President, Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts platform, there are only a very few who didn't get left.— Detroit Tribune.

WHEN the fact is recalled that Indiana used to present such men as Morton and Hendrick for President, the candidacy of Gov. Claude Matthews is a howling absurdity.—St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE cross railroad matter had better be acttd on soon, as it ought to be built during the year 1890. That the road would benefit every man woman and child in Center township aud all other parts of the county through which it passed, is true beyond a doubt. This road should be built, owned and controlled by home men, then it could be operated for the benefit of home people and bring this city aud county right to the front. We need tbe cross railroad, we want the cross railroad and we will have the cross railroad. There is every argument in its favor aud none against it.

IS WHAT ALBERT SNIDER GETS FOR BIS FUN

With His "Gun," At New Palestine last August. The Jury Came in This Morning—A Motion For anew Trial. "We, tbe jury, find the defendant guilty as in the indictment charged, and fix his punishment at 30 days in jail and $700 fine."

Such are the words Judge OfTutt read this morning to Albert Snyder, who has been on trial the past week, charged with shooting *vith intent to kill. The readers of the REPUBLICAN will remember that in the early part of last August, a farmer's picnic was held at New Palestine, which was attended by a large crowd. At night a dance was given in Schriber's hall. It was said that whiskey flowed freely aud at about 10:30 p. several of the men got hilarious. In a short time a quarrel was started, in which Albert Snyder, a Cumberland saloonkeeper, Ed Lamb and Charles Ullery participated. Several shots were fired and Snyder succeeded in shooting Lamb twice and Ullery once. Both men recovered, Snyder was arrested, but gave bond until this term of court, and after a fair and impartial trial he was convicted as above stated. After the verdict was read, Snyder's attorneys made a motion for a new trial. The total costs in the case will amouu to about $1,000, aud should Snyder conclude to "lay it out," it' will take him about three years to do so.

Knlghthtown Jealous of Our Fire Company. The following clipping from a Knightstown paper needs no comment. Its jealousy is very apparent:

In conversation one night this week with a gentleman who saw and witnessed the work as done by the Greenfield fire company in their efforts to quench the glassworks fire at that place Sunlay evening. he remarked that Knightstown's water service and fire-laddies' work were fa.: ahead of her sister town on the west. "Why," he said, "one fireman was so incensed at another companion because he did not shut off the water from his hose when commanded, that he slapped his hat over the nozzle and tied it there with a cotton string, ostensibly to save the water and rest himself." Now, this is a good, rich story to come from a town where it is said by its papers that they have the best water service for fires in tbe State. Bah! Greenfield is a hummer in some jespects, but in this she is a ba number, and will always remain so.

Five Ages of Women.

When a girl of sweet sixteen is on the street she has a cute, pert way of tossing her head as though she own the earth and was going to the middle of the next block to get it. After she is eighteen the world she owns is about as far away as the World's fair was to many people, and at twenty she gives up all hope of ever getting it at all. By the time she is twentyfive, poor thing, she has a faint, vague suspicion that there is a great d6al of insincerity in the world and the thing to do is to get a position and de something useful. After while she gets married to a man she dreamed of. She then concludes she would be better off in heaven.

"Hot Drops."

A convict in the southern prison is editing a paper which is circulated among his fellow convicts. The paper is four pages, written with a pen and is called "Hot Drops." The editor frequently makes good hits. In a recent issue he explains the different grades Of theft in the following manner:

Stealing $1,000,000 is called genius. Stealing $500,000 is called shortage. Stealing $50,000 is called litigation. Stealing $25,000 is called insolvency. Stealing $10,000 is called irregularity. Stealing $5,000 is called defalcation. Stealing $1,000 is called corrudtion. Stealing $500 is called embezzlement. Stealing $100 is called dishonesty. Stealing $50 is called stealing. Stealing $25 is called total depravity. Stealing one ham is called war on society.

Clergy Rate Will Kem-iin/tise S-»nic.

The question of a change in railroad fare charged clergymen his be"'.! settled by the managing officers of railways in territory covered by the Central Traffic Association agreeing to continue to allow a rate of one and one-half cents per mile. For the coming year regularly accredited clergymen, who may be en lit,led to the same under the rules, can therefore procure reduced rate tickets over the Pennsylvania Lines West of Pittsburgh, same as during 1895. 50t2d&w.

FLAYS AND PLAYERS.'

John Hare follows Henry Irving at Abbey's theater, New York. Georgia Cay van says, "I am willing to be- interviewed, but I refuse to discuss tho now woman."

The two strongest roles in "Tho Cotton King" are played this season by Oscar Eagle and Esther Lyon.

Colonel J. II. Haverly has opened tho tour of a minstrel company at the Columbia theater, San FraneiM'.-i.

Minnie Remvood. tluiM vpent ino dancer, has joined Thomas fj. ^eabruoke's support, but merely 1o play a arl. "Mme.

Jan. 11 is the date set for tho first American presentation by Canary & Lederer at the New York Casino of "Tho Lady Slavey."

Clyde Fitch's "Major Andro," written to order for E. H. Sothcrn, has been completed for some time, but it is not likely that it will bo played this season. "England," says a Louisville writer, "has captured ono actress born in Louisville—Mary Anderson—but the same city has put forward another emotional actress with tho same Christian name—Mary Hampton."

James Huneker thus summarizes Dan Daly, now supporting Mario Jansen, "Ho of the cavernous eyes, the sepulchral voice, tho mortuary nose, the obelisk smile, the undertaker's walk, the cremated teeth and tho embfiliner's pose."

CURRENT COMMENT.

The surest way to get aright settlement of tho Alaskan boundary is for our government to take possession of tho lino wo claim, and then lot the discussion go on.— San Francisco Call.

If Corbett would only join tho Cubans and Fitzsimmons tho Spaniards, they would have a chance to keep up thoir long distanco fighting without hurting anybody.—Syracuse Post.

Our military and naval authorities assert that wo are not very well prepared for war with a foreign nation. But, all tho 6amo, most foreign nations do not care to assume the risk of attacking the United States.—Boston Record.

NATURE'S WONDERS.

The great lava lako in the crator of Kilauea, Hawaiian Islands, sank 500 feet in one night.

Near Lao do Joux, Franco, the river Orbo is spanned by a natural bridge which is ovor 700 feet in width.

The Alvorian mountain Dshebel Naibo is slowly sinking. In the time of Caesar it was 1,400 feet high. Now it is only 800..

Cajon peak, southern California, is honeycombed with caverns, believed to be more extensive than tho Mammoth cave of Kentucky.

One of tho natural curiosities of Stanwood, Wash., is a "blowing," or "breathing," well, which exhales immense quantities of noxious gases.

The great serolito called Gran Chaco, which fell near Tucuman in 1783, weighs a fraction over 32,000 pounds. It has a large per cent of copper in its makeup.

There is a gigantic "rooking stone," or balanced bowlder, on the pinnacle of Tandil mountain, Buenos Ayres. It is 24 feet in height, 90 feet long and will weigh sacs.

No other man is so well equipped for the task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it was admitted to Statehood. He was secretary of the Constitutional Convention, and hi3 personality Is strongly marked in the organic law as well as in much of subsequent legislation.
