Three Grand Tours to Bonolnlu. Honolulu, Hawaiian IslaBds, about whicb so much has been written, has been aptly termed the "Paradisa of the pacific," and the title is well deserved, folr^ aside from its magnificent scenery its •rtjonderful volcano, Kilaua, and its interesting inhabitants, its climate is unrivaled, and offers a most delightful change to the residence of the eastern .and' middle states who desire to escape t&e rigors of a northern winter.
The attractions and advantages of these beautiful islands are brought within easy reach by the series of excursions which have been inaugurated by the North Western Line, which leaves Chicago at 6 p. m., January 15, February 10 and March 5, reaching San Francisco on the evening of the thira day after departure from Chicago. Steamers of the Oceanic S. S. Company leave San FranCisco January 21, February 15 and March 10. and it will be observed, therefore, that those who join these excursions will be afforded ample time to view the many attractions of the principal city of the Pacific coast and its beautiful surroundings.
Excursion tickets, good for nine months «rill be sold at rate of $225 for the round fitfp from Chicago to Honolulu and return and this price includes state room and meals on steamers in both directions.
The entire trip from Chicaga to Honolulu is made in only nine days, and these excursions, which are strictly first class in all respects, offer an exceptionally favorable opportunity for visiting these beautiful islands at very reasonable

Temperant Quarters.
A contract was fntered imo yesterday afternoon between J. M. Hinchman and the BocU'd of County miniissiouers by which the former rents his buildiug, west of the new hotel, to the latter to be used for county offices and a court room while the new court house is being constructed.
The price agreed upon was §550 per annum. The County Clerk, Auditor and Treasurer will occupy rooms on the first fiuor the Recorder will have his office upon the second and the couit room will also be on the same floor. Tae Sheriff will fit up an office at the jail
The work of remodeling and preparing the Hiuchman b'ock for occupancy will be begun at once.
D. H. Goble offered to remodel and enlarge the old Christian church, which he owns, and rent it to the Commissioners but he could not offord to rent it as cheap as the Hinchman block was rented for. The plan of the Commissioners to move the old court house out to the street and u«e it while the new one was being constructed was abandoned because they were afriad it would fall down while being moved. There is some talk notv on the part of some parties of moving or tearing it down and erecting out of it an opera house east of the Hiuchman block.
The Creamery to be Opensrt Up and Operated After April First. J. W. Comstock has purchased the Greenfield Creamery and will operate the same after April first. Between now and then it will be thoroughly overhauled and repaired and put in first-class concji tion, a good butter maker put in charge and a first-class reputation established. Harry Comstock, son of J. W. Comstock, will be in charge of the Creamery, He is now at Purdue University taking a course in Dairying. Last week when the "Farm Club" was organized there, he was elected Vice President which shows his good standing there. When he comes home he will be thoroughly prepared for his business, as he is already a graduate of the Indianapolis Business University, We congratulate the city and the country on the re-establishment of the creamery and its management on business principles. It will add to the wealth of the county and the fertility of the soil. Farmers should prepare themselves at once so that they may become large and steady patrons of the creamery.

Vice-President of The Green GlassWorker's Union Arrives. There was quite a crowd of Union glass men at the depot yesterday evening to meet D. A. Hayes, who came here from Marion to try and adjust matters with Streeter & Co., who have leased the Hollweg & Reese bottle house and intend starting it non-union.
Mr. Hayes informs us that he had a talk with Mr. Streeter this morning, but they came to no definite understanding, and as a result there will be a meeting of all the glass-workers tonight at their hall, corner of Pennsylvania and Main streets. Arbitrating cemmittee will be appointed, and if nothing can be.done 'through this channel, a meeting of all the laboring men and citizens of the city will be called. It is to be hoped that the matter may be settled without trouble.

Building is going right along during the winter here in Greenfield on new resideuces. We have already mentioned the house? of City Supt. George S. Wilson, Elmer E. Gant and Capt. Lee O.

Tyler was cross, sour, unapproachable and irritable. Jackson was always aggressive, uncompromising, serious.
John Adams was impulsive and irasoible, but too much in earnest ever to be humorous.
John Qulncy Adams was a Puritan through and through, with a caustic and bitter wit, but no humor.
