His work has increased so much and proven so satisfactory and painless, that he thinks it better to give others the advantage of having their teeth extracted without pain.

The paper mill is busy both day and night. Their daily out-pUt will average sixteen tons, and Mr. West, the Superintendent, says they have kept this up regularly for the past three months. They have now six hundred, tons of straw in their yard, with plenty more all ready for delivery. Straw will be plenty now as the farmers are getting rid of all the old straw, preparatory for this years' threshing. This plant has brought many dollars to onr city and has run more regular than any industry we have.
Thursday was the lait day for work in the Columbia Window glass works this season and the fires were drawn. This was brought about by the Glass Trust, of which the Columbia is a member. Many small glass works over the country closed down Thursday and will not resume operation until September 1. This will work a hardship on hundreds of men. The employes at the Columbia however are not making much of a kick, and would say nothing about the shut-down now if it were not for the fact that they lost six weeks during the winter, when they could have made considerable money. It is during the winter that glass workers make the most money, and if they had had the six weeks at the opening of the season they would now be better able to "layoff." The management of the Columbia are not to blame for the shutdown, but, belonging to- the [trust, they are under obligations to do as the trust says. We do not believe Mr. Borrey, the manager, would draw the fires of his own accord as he is a great friend of labor. During the shut-down, the factory will receive $15 per week per pot and there being ten pots, will receive $150 per week during the idlenes of the plant from the trust fund.
WRIT OF MANDATE ASKED.
A..G. CAMPFIECD BRINGS SUIT AGAINST THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
He Charges That They Wrongfully, Unlawfully and Corrnptly Refused to Accept, the Lowest and Best Bid for the New Court
House. The State of Indiana on the Relation of Aaron G. Campfield vs. The Board of Commissioners of Hancock county. BdDjamin F. Wilson, Aquilla Grist and William M. Thomas
The above is the title of a suit brought Friday by Aaron G. Campfield of Richmond, by his attorneys, R. A. Black and Downing & Hough. In the complaint which is made under oath, Mr. Campfield avows that the commissioners advertised for bids for the erection of a new court house for the county according to certain plans and specifications, the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. He further avers that acting in good faith, he prepared a bid for said work viz. $129,000 which was the lowest and best bid and filled a bond for $35,000 for the faithful and full completion of said work by September 1, 1897, and the full payment for all labor and material for said building and all board bills for said laborers.
Tho bond is signed by three responsible, solvent, free holders and is for more than the amount stipulated which was onefourth of the bid. He further avers that not withstanding his bid was the lowest and best bid of a responsible bidder, and that he stood ready and willing to contract for said work and comply with all requirements the board of County Commissioners wrongfully, unlawfully and corruptly and without any right so to do, rejected his bid and refused, and still refuse to award him the contract for the erection of said court house, but under the pretense]that the same was not the lowest and best bid presented, they unlawfully, wrongfully and corruptly pretended to accept the bid of certain other competing bidders for said work and immediately thereafter entered into a pretended contract with such other bidders for the construction of said work.
Wherefore the petitioner prays the Court that an alternative writ of mandate may issue commanding the defendant to award the contract for the construction of said work to the petitioner, and to enter into a contract with him therefore, or to show cause why the same should not be done. The complaint is sworn to as being true in substance and in fact as to all matters and things alledged and set out in the petition. The writ Ss made returnable on May 11th. Quite an interesting time may be expected about that time if all the facts that are now alledged to be true are brought out on the witness stand.
Hume wil]L be ready for the 4th of July. We are ,going tohavea fine time eating eandf, fruits, nuts, and celebrating that grand old da/. Come and see me. 18719
