WEATHER FORECAST Generally Fair tonight and Tuesday.
THE delegates and workers at the State convention will be a little slow in coming in this year as they are held back by the town and city elections Tuesday.
THE candidates for the Governorship and other State offices have their headquarters opened and are now ready for delegates. It looks like Doxey or Griffith would be nominated for Governor.
THERE will be a big McKinley demonstration at Indianapolis Wednesday night in Tomlinsons Hall. Hon. Wm. E. Mason of Chicago will make the principal address. Speeches will also be made by Congressmen Charles Henry, James E Watson, and by Charles Landis of Delphi and others.
LET all the Republicans remember that the city election occurs tomorrow. The office of Councilman is an important one. It is for the best interests of all citizens to see that the best men are selected, men whose judgement, business capacity and principles will advance the interests of this city and all her people.
WE a»k the voters to carefully consider the merits, business capacity, integrity and a host of other good qualities Jwhich are possessed by candidates Walker, Huston and Brand. You will make no mistake in voting for them. As taxpayers, real estate owners and men thoroughly 'identified with the city's interests they are well qualified and directly interested in seeing that the city government iB carried on economically and satisfactorily to all.
IMPROVEMENTS on a street have a tendancy to bring a street out in every way. Since the eement sidewalks have been placed on North street there has been more improvement than in many years before. Just look at the number of handsome now residences built thereon recently, and others are still to go up. South State is also coming to the front since the sidewalks were built. Two nice frame residences are going up there now. Lookout for South State street to take a boom.

I'm only a rock, a big black rock, Standing ajone by the sea, ,-f With no one .near my story to hear.
I'm as lonesofte as lonesome"can be. I'm only a rock, a grim old rock, Watching the waves on the shore. The Sharer for years in the joys and fears
Of maidens and youths by the score. I'm only a rock," a V.rren old rock,
Sick of such tales love, And I almost groan, though I'm only a stone,
When they swear by the stars above. I'm only a rock a bleak old rock, But I know a thing or two— Whether made at night or in broad daylight
Such pledges are seldom true. I'm only a rock, a strange old rock, Dreading the summer once more, When in their glory they'll tell the old story
I have heard so often before. I'm only a rock, 4m srted old rock, Half buried in sii,"w and sand, Sport of the sea when the wind blows free,
My weary vigil I stand. —James T. Sullivan in Boston Globe.
CROWNED AT OLYMPIA.
Honors Paid to the Victors In the Grecian Athletic Contests.
Immediately after each contest the successful athlete appeared before the judges and received a palm branch, and hiis name was heralded before the assembled throng. But at the close of all the contests, on the final day of the festival, the much coveted prizes were distributed. Into the altis at early morning streamed the long, joyous procession, headed by the judges, the religious and civil authorities, and the public guests, escorting the now brilliantly clad athletes and victorious horses bedecked with flowers. The song they sang Was a song of victory by Archilochus, which began: "Hail to thee, powerful Hercules, conqueror in the games, and to thee also, Iolaus, both famed for the spear! Tenella, tenella! All hail to the victor I"
A little boy from the priestly class had already cut with a golden knife some branches from the olive tree planted by Hercules, and crowns made "from these branches had been exposed in the temple of Hera upon a beautiful chryselephantine table made by Colotes. The crowns were then brought to the temple of Zeus, where, before the representatives of all Greece, the judges, clad in purple, crowned the heads of the victorious athletes. This Olympic crown, as the supreme reward of Greek ambition, is well expressed in the story of Diagoras. Himself a victor in the games, he returned in his old age to Olympia with his two sons. Both bore off a prize, and then ran and caught their father on their shoulders as the crowd of pilgrims pelted them with flowers. 'Die, Diagoras,'' they cried, 'for thou hast nothing more to live for!" With a sigh of joy the old man expired.
The crowning of Olympia did not end the victors' glory. Their statues were made by the most famous sculptors, their portraits painted by the most skillful artists, their deeds glorified in verse. They were feasted and maintained at public expense, received seats of honor at the theater and were cherished as gods in the hearts of their countrymen. As Pindar has well expressed it, "He that overcometh hath, because of the games, a sweet tranquillity throughout his life forevermore. "—"The Old Olympic Games," by Professor Allan Marquand, in Century.
King by Trade.
While in Geneva in 1891 Judge T. J. Mackey of South Carolina was selected by the American colony to deliver a Fourth of July oration at a banquet given in honor of the day. It was attended by all the foreign consuls, and among them was the consul general of Austria-Hungary, who furnished for Judge Mackey's address the following anecdote and vouched for its authenticity:
A number of Americans residing in Vienna in the year 1810 united to celebrate Washington's birthday, and invited the Emperor Francis of Austria to honor the occasion by his presence.
That genial monarch, a true gentleman, although "every inch a king," overlooked the disregard of established forms into which his would be hosts had been betrayed by their patriotic zeal, and made this answer in his own handwriting: "Gentlemen, I thank you for your hospitable invitation and the gratifying terms in which you have expressed your desire that I should attend a banquet which you propose to give in celebration of General Washington's natal day. "But. you must excuse me from uniting with you to honor the memory of your illustrious countryman, since I could not do so with sincerity, for Washington scorned a crown and did more to bring royalty into contempt than all men who have ever lived, and I am a king by trade. "—Youth's Companion.
Some Gigantic Photographs.
The largest photographs that have ever been made, if we are correctly informed, were those used in Baltimore's Columbian parade in the fall of 1892. They represented scenes in the life of Columbus and were used as decorations for the float of St. Pius parish in the parade mentioned. The largest one of the lot, a copy of Gribayedofi 's "Columbus Before Ferdinand and Isabella," was 9 feet long and 6 feet wide. This photographic triumph was made by a special process. The patent belongs to Photographer W. H. Weaver of Baltimore.—St. Louis Republic.

F^MINISCENT. ONE OF THE
vt'
A Paul* to Geologists In the Bine Grass Region of Kentucky.
Sinking creek, in the northwestern part of this county, is not a running stream or creek, as one would imagine from its name, tint it is a large lake, which forms only in the spring of the year, when thaws and rainfall produce an overabundance of water. The formation of a lake covering over 1200 acre3 of land and sometimes over 300 comes with the suddenness of a rise in the Mississippi river.
The lake is formed in a hollow entirely surrounded by gradually inclined hills of blue grass fields and meadows. These hills are at first imperceptible to the eye on account of the gradual and even slope of the surrounding country. A closer examination of the country showB that for miles around it all gradually inclines to the'place where the springtime lake forms, but the place itself is merely a slightly rolling tract of land, over which various fences, trees and shrubberies are seen. As the lake depends on the rainfall for its supply of water, it is larger some years than others and has been known to cover 850 acres of land and the water all the way from 5 to 30 feet deep. This body of water is a veritable Mecca for duck hunters at the time of the year when ducks pass through Kentucky on their way to the northern lakes.
There is no outlet above the earth in the way of a creek or hollow. There is no cave or sink hole on any of the land which is covered by water through which the water may escape. Yet within one month this immense amount of water disappears. After the disappearance the earth which is covered, instead of being a wet, marshy place, as is the case of an ordinary springtime rise in water, is a beautiful, fertile, blue grass vale, over which blooded Kentucky stock roam during the summer months and fatten on the rich pasturage. No appearance of a marsh or water weeds, etc., is found after the lake has gone.
Exactly what causes the "sinking" of the lake has never been determinated, although various geologists have visited the scene. It is a well known fact that quicksilver thrown into a pond or lake will cause it to soon sink, and it is claimed that the water forming this lake, as it is drained down from the surrounding hills, brings with it a composition of some kind similar to mercury or quicksilver in its action on sinking a lake, and that this is the key to the mystery of Sinking creek.—Nieholasville Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
A DANGEROUS BIRD.
What Will Happen Some Day to an Incautious Hunter of XUue Herons.
"Some of these days," said the longshore hunter, "I expect to open my daily paper and see a headline something like this, 'Killed by a Blue Heron,' and I'll tell you why. The blue heron is a big, powerful bird which has already badly disfigured the faces of several men. The men have wounded a bird, and then thinking to capture it alive they went up to it. Why, I'd as soon try to kiss a wounded grizzly. The birds grow as tall as 6 feet, and have necks like a fish rod and just the kind of muscles to move it the quickest with the most strength. They could drive their bill points through a quarter inch panel. "The hunter goes up to the bird and sees it lying there looking as innocent as a robin, with only a wing broken. 'What a fine pet it would make,' the fool hunter thinks. Then he picks the bird up and starts for home in a wagon or a boat, with the bird between his knees. The bird's neck is drawn back like a letter 'S.' All of a sudden the bill shoots up and gives the man a gash alongside the eye three inches long. That is what always has happened. The wounded bird has missed its aim, but sometimes—and you want to remember it—this feathered spearman will drive its bill far into its enemy's eye, and like a steel umbrella stick the point of the bill will penetrate the man's brain. I guess the bird's aim has always been spoiled by the pain of its wounds, and so many a human life has been saved. I don't monkey with wounded bitterns, or cranes—well, scarcely. "—New York Sun.
A Homely Court.
A backwoods court is thus described in the Cincinnati Enquirer: "A desperado was offended at the court and used unbecoming language, and when fined for contempt claimed that he could not be guilty of contempt, since there was no courthouse. The squire ordered a circle made to represent a courthouse, whereupon the desperado got outside of the line and renewed his insults. When told that he disturbed the court, he said, 'Make your courthouse larger.' Another line was drawn, with similar results, and still others, until the murmurings ceased to disturb the court. Another defendant was guilty of a breach of the peace. The court sent him to jail, writing the following mittimus: 'Jailer of Garrard county, you will please lock John Blevin up in ju.il and keep him until I call for him. He has been cuttin up and cussin and tryin to fight.'''
What Touched Thackeray.
At the sale of Lady Blessington's household furniture, her library, her pictures, porcelain, plate and some of her jewelry, which were disposed of before she left London for the last time, one little incident ought not to be forgotten. A French servant of Lady Blessington's wrote her a letter in which lie told lior that he had observed many of her friends passing through the rooms, and he added that "Mr. Thackeray had to cover his eyes to hide his tears.''—Speaker.
Her Plaint.
A fat French lady despairingly says, "I am so fat that I pray for a disappointment to make me thin, but no' sooner does the disappointment come $han the joy at the prospect of getting hlw makes me fatter than ever.'
