DR. CASTOR, the young man recently .elected coroner by the Republicans of Marion county came into the Commissioners' Court with a charge for 51 days work and he had been in office but 15 ^ays. The Journal and News are opening up on the young doctor most vigorous and he is now willing to withdraw his °ik1 put in a mere reasonable one. The Republicans should see to it that Castor does not disgrace his office as did M3 predecessor, Dr. Beck, a Democrat, kut" »e evidently starts out badly.

THE county officers are organizing a powerful lobby to bear down upon the coming legislature and see if they can restore the emoluments of the office as received a few years ago. The lobby will be active and aggressive and it is said propose to notify the managers of the Republican party and especially the men who intend to be candadates for party preferment in 1896, that they must keep hands off the fee and salary business. The idea of all the people of the great State ofjlndiana be" ing held up and looted by a county officers' association. Let the fee'system be abolished for both State and county officers and the officers given a fair and adequate compensation. They do not, however, need to receive three or four times or some as high as ten times what they could make in ordinary business. The Republicans should perfect the present fee and salary law so that it would stand all tests. There area few officers that do not receive a sufficient salary, but there area large number who yet receive too much. Let all receive a just compensation, right, robs no man.

ALEXANDER HESS who was purely an accidental nomination for Clerk of the Supreme Court on the Republican ticket is bringing discredit upon himself and the Republican party by undertaking to ran the

Oilice

largely with uie Hess £am-

iW and a)so by charging 10 cents a hundred words for allowing newspapers to copy abstracts of the decisions of the Supreme Court. The press of the State should set down on Mr. Hess most vigorously. He should not be allowed to bring discredit upon the Republican party. The Democrats found the grabbing acts and conduct unbecoming an official of State Superintendent Yorhees and Attorney Genl. Green Smith's record hard loads to carry and it helped to beat their party. Let us be delivered from Hessism as he is commencing.

ANDERSONIANS are pushing George H. Quick for State Gas Inspector. They claim that with Quick as Gas Inspector an official report would not be circulated every thirty days that gas was playing out and the gas belt going to the demn ition bowwows. As a gas inspector E. T. J. Jordan of Morristown was a huge failure. What he did not know about the formation and continuity of natural gas would fill a big book. It looked like Jordan was playing into the hands of the big gas syndicate who wanted to lease lands, raise the prices on gas and sell by meter measurement.

A LARGE number of Congressmen who were elected to stay at home do not care to face the music down in Washington and will not go back for the short session. They have written ll±e Sai-geaul at Arms to send them their mileage, 26 cents a mile. That is a grab pure and simple. It is on a par with the action of State Superintendent H. D. Vories who has received $1,200 as an allowance for expenses in visiting the 92 counties of the State. Mr. Yories has visited about twenty and pocketed the difference.

Last Saturday night about midnight a house which Philander Boyd had recently bought from Benjamin Cox was burned. When the alarm was given and C. E. Kinder readied the tire, the hose was found to be too short. After a second trip to the stables after hose, the fire had consumed the building before the water could be brought to bear on it.

It is said much of the hose was stowed away behind a number of vehicles. That wib ever do incase of fire. Let the department be organized and drilled at once. There was no insurance on the house. It is thought by some parties to have been accidently set on fire by some parties who were in the house playing cards. F. G. Banker had turned the gas off, but before the fire it had been turned on by some one.

Was for a Time Dead.

Grant Plummer, a barber at Knightstown, had a decidedly unpleasant experience Wednesday last. For about thirty minutes he was apparently dead. He went home to his supper as usual, sat down in a comfortable chair by tlie fireside, surrounded by his faithful little wife and baby, when suddenly as if by magic he was seized with violent pains in his abdomen, followed in rapid succession by sharp flutterings about the heart. He sent his wife hurriedly after some water, as he felt that that would relieve him, but as she was returning with the water, she witnessed a sight which lnade her blood run cold. Her husband had fallen upon the floor, and so far as indications pointed, he was lifeless. Mrs. Plummer ran into the street screaming for assistance. A crowd soon collected a physician was immediately summoned and Dr. J. B. Cress answered the call. All present were, as a matter of course, under the impression that life was extinct, and the supposed corpse of Grant Plummer was placed upon a cot. All medical appliances known to the profession were quickly brought into action and he was restored to life. Mr. Plummer is a fleshy man, and it was probably inaction of the heart that caused the trouble—Lewisville Signal.

The first storm period of the month will be on the 4th. The storm will generate in the west and will move eastward turning to sleet and snow in many parts of the country on the 5th to 7th. Reactionary storms are due from 10th to 12th. A freezing polar wave will bring up the rear of these storms, heavy sleet being a characteristic. This will be followed by warmer on the 13th. From the 14th to the 18th there will be marked disturbances. High and dangerous gales wiU sweep over the country, followed by a cold wave lasting until the 20 th. From the 22d to the 24th will be the worst storm period of the month, the wind approaching a tempest. On the 25th there will be a decided change in conditions. Warm southernly winds will bring heavy rains, lasting until about the 29th when, in the North, the rain will turn to snow, followed by a great cold wave that will sweep down from the north, taking nearly the entire continent into its embrace.

Reunion of the 19th Kentucky U. S Infantry.

Thursday Thomas Cotton of this city entertained Capt. Cummins from near Acton, Mr. Cummins from near Irvington and Dr. Sparks of Carthage, all comrades in the 19th Kentucky U. S. Infantry during the rebellion. It is the custom of these Indiana members of that regiment to hold a reunion every Thanksgiving and next year they will meet with Dr. Sparks of Carthage. When the war was over Mr. Cotton and the Cummins brothers could not remain in their old home in Kentucky on account of the strong rebel sentiment in that community so they came to Indiana. Dr. Sparks was the surgeon of the regiment. Dr. J. A. Comstock of this city, who was in the same brigade with the 19th Kentucky and Dr. J. W. Sparks of this city both attended the reunion. It was a pleasant occasion going over the old army reminiscenses.
