MR. HENRY C. SPILKER AND FAMILY.

OBITUARY,

Annie Spilker, the daughter of Henry C. and Elizabeth Spilker was born July 27, 1871, died February 9, 1896, aged 24 years, 6 months and 13 days. She was sick about 6 months and was taken bedfast two months ago. She bore that dreadful disease, bronchitis and consumption, with patience, but she wanted to get well. About 4 o'clock in the evening, Feb 9 th, she said that she was going to go and she prayed with her parents and kissed and bade them all good bye, that she soon would be gone to that better land of rest. She was confirmed in the German Lutheran church in 1888, and was sprinkled when a baby and tbe ceremony was conducted by pastor Henkel in the German Lutheran church in both the German and English language. Her remains* was laid to rest in the cemetery of the same church. /-MRS. NANNIK SPILKER.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

WILL BE HELD APRIL 16TH CASTLB,

AT NEW

The Covention to Select National Delegates and Elector to be at Connersville March 19th,

The Republican chairmen of the eight counties composing the Sixth Indiana Congressional District met at Cambridge City Thursday and selected places for holding the Congressional Convention and the district conven ioa. The chairmen present were M.. K. Moffitr, Faye* te A. H. Rockefeller. Franklin R. Spencer, Hancock: George A. Deem, Henry J. W. HeuSin. Ru-»h J. Wiutrate, Shelby, who represented his brother, E Wingate, Dr E, C. Thompson, Union: and Frank C. Mosbaugh, Wayne. Counersville ind Shelbyville were both putting up a strong fight for the Congressional Convention. As Fayette county was strong for Johnson nd Shelby as strong for VVatsnu It was felt best to place the convention on more neutral ground. Mr, Spencer the Hancock cbairmau took t.batpo-dticn from principle and favored Newcastle from the start. There were live './allots cast with Messrs Speucer Drem, Rockefeller and Henson voting for Nmvv,sie, Mi'ffut, Thompson aud Mosbaugb for Connersville and Wing-re for s'ueloyville. On the six ballot

TTTm-

W Dii'ldiug aud S Ruffuer have friends preferred Watson also preferred tiiat pi :ct but both men are no doubt well satisfied with

Connersville aud Mr.

Newcastle-as-eaob will receive fair treatment and have many friauds in tbe county. Mr. Wingaie propo that the selection of a Congressional Candida'e be left to a primary election iu ail the counties to be. held oil the same day. The votL' on this was-a tie aud Dis'rurt Chairman L. P. MitcheJ ruled it out of order as some of th« counties -had' already determined the question of how delegates should be selected.Connersville, however, was selected as i.be place for holding the convtnt.iou to select delegates and -alter nate delegates to the National Republican Couvemion aud a district precedential elector. I'he Congressional Covention wi 1 be held Thursday, April 16th. There were qaite a large numoerof influential Republicans at the meeting at Cambridge. Congressman Watson was there looking after his fences. Another candidate for Nation il delegate has announced himself Major J. W. Ross, of Connersville.

The chairmen decided to increase the number of Congressional delegates by allowing one delegate for each 100 votes and fraction of 50 or ^ver cast for W. D. O-ven candidate for Secretary of State in 1894. This will give Hancock county twenty-one votes. Hancock county finds her associations in thts new district remarkably pleasant. The Sixth Indiana Congressional district is one of unusual distinction and prominence. It has been and represented in the halls of Congress by able and distinguished lawyers and statesmen, men of National reputation. This district was the birthplace and home of that great patriot aud .Statesman, Indiana's celebrated war Governor Oliver P. Morton. Etch county in selecting delegates to the various conventions, District und State should choose none but li?e, active, a.% regressive, reliable, representative Republicans who will always act harmoniously together jfor the advancement of theidet3 and priciples of the Grand Old Republican Party.

Two New Wells and a Deep Well Puinp For the Water Works, Council men T. Morford and F. G. Banker, Supt. of water works Cojby and water works engineer Meally, went to Decauter Ind. today to investigate tbe merits and the cost of operating the Ingersoll pump, knovn as the Pohle air lift pump. At Decauter, the city has eight wells and this pump is said to give excellent satisfaction. Greenfield now has four good wells and the Council at its last meeting authorized a contract with George Morehead to drill two more. We want to start into the summer with an abundant supply of water so that all persons may have water who desire to contract. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co. desire to contract for water to supply their engines. With plenty of water a large number of consumers can be added to tbe plaat and the cost of operating not materially increased.

The Greenfield Closing Movement.

Greenfield has been trying the early closing movement, 6 o'clock p. m. for the past six weeks. The dry goods men, boots and shoe dealers, clothiers, tailors and grocers h*ve all been taking their ease of an evening excepting Monday'! and Saturday's. Both proprietors and clerks seems to be favorable to the movement and we have not heard the patrons complaining. New Castle is now agitating the early closing movement. The Rushville Jacksonlan says, the six o'clock closing movement has been in operation there for more than a year and that all people are well satisfied with it.

Use of tlie

Letter

JS,

It has been said that the letter "e" is the most unfortutiate letter in the entire English alphaoet. "because it is never in tsh, never out of debt and never out of danger But we should remember that, the aforesaid letter is never iu war and always iu peace it is the beg'nning of ex'steuce, the commencing of ea^e and the end of treuble. Without it there would be no bread, no meat, no water, no life, no eternity. —Kxohanga.

Ten Niglits in a Bar-Koom,

"Ten Nights in a Barroom" was the play which the Frost & Fanshawe company presented at

rbe

opera hou-e last

night. It was pub on the stage in splendid style. The play has been thoroughly revised, but it still teaches the same moral lesson A, L. Fanshawe as Joe Morgan, the leading character, showed himself to tie a tiue actor. Misses Mabel and Flora Frost were repeatedly encored in their songs which were rendered in artistic manner. The company tonight will produce "Two Orphans." This play will be beautifully staged and the costumes used are espec-aiiy ordered for this play. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents.

Publisher of the People Out on Iiail. James Wilson, editor o£ the Indianapolis People, who was recently sentenced to two years in prison and fined $250 for publishing and sending through the' mails obscene matter, has been granted a supersedeas and filed bis bond in the sum of $3,000 with a number of sureties.

With the granting of the writ of supersedeas Wilson was released on bond pending a decision of the United States Supreme Court, to which the case will be taken at once. A decision cannot be reached for over a year and Wilson will be at liberty in the meantime. Even if he succeeds in escaping the penitentiary, Wilson has no doubt been taught a useful lesson. His paper is now so held that few people care to be caught wi a copy of it. Joseph R. Dunlap, publisher of the Chicago Dispatch, recently received a heavy sentence for-sending his paper containing obsccne matter through the mails. He was fined $3,000 and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years.

There is nothing that can more quickly pollute tbe minds of the young than pernicious literature and if a publisher does not realize the importance of his position he should be taught a severe lesson by the law. Experience is a dear school, bat fools and rogues can be taught in no other.

THE JESUIT FATHER IN CHINA.

A Fearfully Narrow, liarren Life and Its Mental Effects. Up summer aud winter before sunrise, he reads the matins and his day's work is often done, says Blackwood's Magazine. Sometimes he reads the angelus and vespers usually they are undertaken by the native catechist. Perhaps in the course of the long morning Ah San or Ah Si will present himself and pour forth complaint about a buffalo and trampled padi field or he may be called to adjudicate in what should be an action for a divorce. Sometimes of a morning he sallies forth, his yellow pigtail coiled around his head and an enormous satchel slung across his back, with a. store of iron shot and wadding for his rickety muzzle loader, and if he is lucky will bring back a pigeon or two, or even a pheasant, to supplement the inevitable pork or fowl and rice.

The mail comes in once a fortnight and a day slips by unnoticed, thanks to home letters and a dozen numbers of La Croix, where, squeezed between the latest miracle and the life of some worthy saint, the doings of- the outer world may be found recorded in a ten line notice on "a 1' Etranger.

Sometimes an afternoon is whiled away in curing the rank tobacco of the place or in brewing rice wine or malt beer—because ten years of solitude have taught him to do things for himself— and when he has no such pastime on hand, he gets through the day absorbed as one hopes in his little mediaeval library of religious books—lives of the saints and sermons and essays.

Then is it wonderful that even a mind as broad and gentle as his should in constant journeyings on the one road have worn a rut for itself, deep sunk and gloomy as the traffic channeled paths of the loess land in the north, till, when a rare glimpse of the outside world does break npon his view, his dazzled eyes can see nothing but trees walking, schismatics and Freemasons, Jews and atheists, spiritualism and table turning, with the fiend himself in a fiery cloud over all?

Kvarts' Paradox.

An amusing instance of an orator unable to resist a neat paradox was presented in a speech made at a banquet given when President Hayes and his cabinet were in Oinaha. Evarts was delivering a most eloquent eulogy of the west and conclnded one of his famous interminable sentences in these words: "I like tbe west. I like her self made men, and the more I travel west, the more I meet with her public men, the more I am satisfied of the truthfulness of the Bible statement that the-wise-men-came-from-tlie-east!!'—Exchange.

The Other Stde.

First Vestryman—It must make a clergyman feel very unhappy to discover that he has outlived his usefulness in a parish.

Second Vestryman—Not so unhappy as it makes the people when he doesn't discover it. —New York Tribune.
