Neither Mr. Newby or Mr. Montgomery desire to go to the Republican National convention, as delegates, and are therefore not candidates as above stated. The Iudianapolis Sentinel made the statement originally and that is probably where the Democrat got its authority. Mr. Newby, however, will be a candidate before the Republican State Convention for Lientenant Governor, and he has many friends over the State who will be glad to see him win.

What The Press SayB.
When Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, Miss Jennie Quigley, the Count Magri and the Baron Magri, the four clever little people comprising the American Lilliputians, marched "front aud center" upon the raising of the curtain at the Grand last night, they were met with a burst of applause from a well filled house. Then four little heads bowtd gracefully and froin that moment the audience was theirs. No matter what they did—sing, dance, talk, waliz, fence, box, imitate— it was all one. It was amusing and de cidedly clever. At the glanca no one would ever accuse Count Magri of being proficient in vocal art, but when in the dainty midget comedy, "Two Rivals," built to fit its cast, he struck up "I Have Sighed to Rest Me," from II Trovatore, and the baron joined in the exquisite duet, the effect was electrifying. But the program held a still greater surprise, Miss Jennie Quigley proved a veritable Lilliputian nightingale and imparted so much of sparkle and sweetness into her catchv little songs that nothing would do but that she must return to the stage the third time. Her's will be an ovation at today's matinee. Mrs. Gen. Torn Thumb also came in for a share of the vocalist's honors. When she sang "I'm 63," just as she had sung it for 6,000 times before, prolonged applause demanded an encore. The specialties and specialty people carried by the company were, upon the whole, excellent. Mme. Trazora was introduced in some astounding so called hypnotic feats, and the three Les Freres Renos are proficient fellows in contortion and knock about acrobatic turns. The engagement terminates with tomorrow night's performance, and it is to be regretted, for the company is unqualifiedly the most entertaining lot of entertainers which has appeared at the Grand this year —Indianapolis ournal.
Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb Comiug. The management of the opera house is very fortunate in securing Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb and her splendid company of Lilhiputian Speciality Artists, for an engagement in this city. This is the same company which recently appeared at English's Opera House in Indianapolis to crowded houses.
The company presents a double comedy bill "Two Rivals," and "The Enchanted Statue" and many high class specialties including dancing, singing and a boxing contest. Prices 15, 25 and 35cents.
Cinch Party.

AN OID RELIC
Of George Washington'* An Old Time Pocket Book. John H. Dunham, of Cory,Ind., in company with Miss Mamie Tyner were callers at the REPUBLICAN office today, Mr. Dunham has been here in the interest of the great Ball estate, of which he is one of the heirs. He has in hin possession, an old pocket boob, that is almost a sacred relic The book is abiut eight inches lot and six inches wide, and is of the kind that rokls together. It is made of leather which has become very hard. Th« pocket, book was presented by G^n George Washington to George Brown, at the surrender of Lord Cornwallus to Washington, at Yorktovvn,
VH.
Brown
was a boy about fifteen years old at the time, and after a conversation with Washington it transpired that they were cousins. Washington then presented the book to Brown and it h&s been handed down from generation to generation until it is now in the hajds of Mr. Dunham, and belongs to the Ball estate." Mr. Brown wus the great grandfather of Mrs. Alonzo Tyner, east of the city and Miss Mamie, her daughter, takes great delight telling about ohe book. She lis the story in a uery interesting way.
OBITUAKV.
The death of a friend or dear one gives to lite its darkest calmity, it is the voice of fate sp-akit'g to us in the dialect of mystery. We hear the sound, but can not tell whence it cometh. It, was thus in the dtafcc of Vlary A. Varner, of JackSin township, Hancock county Indiana. She was born in Montgomery county, Pa. 1818, departed ihis life Jan. 15, 1896, aged 78 years. She moved with her parents, Philip aud Catharina Slifer, from Pennsylvania to six-mile creek, 3 miies north of Charlottesville, Hancock county, Ind. in the year 1832. She won the affections of one Samuel Varner, and they were united in the holy bonds of matiiaaony on the 11th of July, 1839, and lived peacefully until his death, Dec. 5th, 1891, at their old home.
The fruits of this union being nine children, three boys and six girls, ther« are left, three boys and two girls to mourn the loss of a dear mother. She also leaves one sister, Margaret Heim, who is in her 88th year,
Aunt Mary was the only one of the children born in this country, the rest were born in Germauy.
She united with the missionajy Baptist church in the year 1872 and remained a member until her death. Her funeral was conducted at her residence by Rev. C. Clark, Jan. 17rh, 1896, after which her remains were taken to the Simmons cemetery and laid to rest. In the death of Mary A. Varner the family have lost one near and dear to them. We offer the following lines as a tribute of respect.
Oh! mother, we sit within the room, So i-trangely silent, since thou art not there The winter's sunshine silvers all the gloom,
And falls across thine empty chair.
O patient hands whose days of toil are o'er, So meekly folded on thy silent heart, How heavy was the cross of pain you bore
How sweet at last must seem the promised rest. Sad eyes that saw earth's splendor fade away,
And care and toil corrupt its fair delight How bright the glow of heaven's unchanging day,
The deathless life and garments white.
