^rculaiion This Week, 2,725.

THE "millionaires" may be tor gold, t'i at the "millions" are for both gold and Iver, and the latter idea will prevail.

MRS. OLLIE .CORBETT is suing her hus«4 4Qd, the champion pugilist, James J. "3 rbett, for divorce. A Chicago woman iV said to be the cause. Mrs. Corbfett vtiU. no doubt be able to knock the champion out, no matter how the Fitzsimmons fci&ttle may result. a

THE Kentucky fight was a splendid .sb&air. The Cleveland-Carlisle gold bugs .^faeured the platform, the silverites the* ^aadidates, and so both factions were' Sfcagjpy. The Republicans will capture

State in August and then everybody 'spill be happy. Oh, the fight is a beauti•&ai one.

THE Fourth of July falls on Thursday 3! I this week. The greater part of our tisens will be at home that day and assist in a grand celebration of the Nation's iSsirtiiday. The boys are about ready, as 2ti.ro crackers are beginning to pop. and 4fae patriotism to bubble. -The program tor the day which we publish eslsewhere, $ an excellent one with able and patriotic •exercises in the morning and amusements •J curing the afternoon and night. Let ev•eayone assist in making the Fourth a jjjr&nd success.

A TEUE Mend is the first person who in when the whole world has gone mt, one possessed of a triple alliance of ••fi&e three great powers—love, sympathy and help—and considers your needs before your deservings one who understands silence and, being at Hie top of the odder will not frown on you at the bot•faim one truer to you than you are to jyoui'self a friend like ivy—the greater ££ie ruin the closer it clings. Then, God mother are the only true friends a SFEI.low can hope for.—Ex.

TfiE Democrat editors did not pass any Se£Lnite resolution on the financial question at their late Association meeting at Maxinkuckee. They went there with •£&at determination, but there were outsiders thre who, by skillful lobbying, secured a lot of non-committal funny business instead of the promised silver resolation. The Association, not counting 4ieoutsiders, stood 22 for silver and gold -ifuad 23 for gold alone. The silver edi•iSoM, however, propose to keep the con£est going, as they claim the vast mass of •iSae party are favorable to their idea.

How to Name Twins.

An exchange tells a good story it heard other day of a father and mother who were trying to find* names for their twin •iiAbies who, by the way, were girls. It was decided that the father must name them. JL£ter casting about and finding no names /that exactly suited him, he determined to end the btrain on his mind and named jfiliem "Kate and Duplicate." In course 4af4ime another pair of twins came, and 'they were boys. Ihis was the husband's •opportunity to get even, and be wanted his •igood wife to christen the boys. Imagine feeling when the mother one day told •1tint she had named the boys "Pete and t." Ctdlareu'g l»aj at Curry's Cliapel Postponeti.

An Interesting Letter. The Kind The Republican Enjoys Receiving From Pleased Fatrons.

Fort Scott, Kansas, June 26, 1895. MR. W. S. MONTGOMERY, Greenfield, Ind. Dear Sir:—Your communication has been received, and in compliance you will find enclosed express money order for two ($2.00) dollars to pay my delinquency and subscription in full to Jan' uary 1st, 1896.

I am certainly very sorry to have caused you any trouble, as it was simply neglect and not inability to pay, for there has been no time that we have not been abl0 to meet so small a demand, and I can assure you that your paper is a welcome visitor to our Western home, for I was once a resident of Indiana and know ,-ivany of the REPUBLICAN readers person,aily, besides my father, Mr. S. A. Ross, is a subscriber to your paper and the thought that probably some of the dear -home folks are reading it with me, though seperated by many miles, makes it doubly dear to us.

If the publishing of tliiB letter will aid you in any way with your collections, by reminding others who have fallen into the same channel of neglect, you are at liberty to do so. With best wishes for the prosperity of the REPUBLICAN and all its readers. I am Respectfully

MRS. E. B. KEELING.

HICKS FOR JULY.

What the St. Louis Weather Profit Predicts (or 'litis Mouth.

The storm period prevailing at the end of June will be felt in central and eastern parts of the country at the opening of July. Cooler, fair weather, with higher barometer will be advancing from westerly regions. Centering on the 5th and 6th, for a period of three or four days, a wave of much higher temperature, falling barometer and general storm conditions will make its transit from west to east across the continent. Each section of the country will, in regular order, realize, more or less, all the progressive phases of the reactionary period. Between this period and the regular storm period, 9th to 13th, a relaxation from heat, with westerly winds and higher barometer will be the order. On and touching the 9th to 12th the temperature, barometer and atmospheric currents will all return to a state of storminess and blustering clouds, with some rain and thunder will follow the advancing heat in many localities. If there is any subsidance in heat it will be on the heels of cloud and wind perturbations, Bay about 12th to 14th.

A mercury perturbation is central on the 7th, embracing the 13th to 23d. Within this period fall the reactionary storm movements central on tbe 15th and 16th, and the regular storm period, 20th to 24th. Much cloudiness is the usual order during the mercury periods, and the best chances for rain in July seem to be on and touching tbe 15th and 16th and from about the 20th to 24th. Excessive warmth and other conditions will develop progressively from west to east, at both the reactionary and regular periods, with brief respite from heat, if at all, between them. The greatest heat, followed by the most violent storms of the month, in all probability will fall on and abor.t the dates of new moon and moon's peiigee—ilst to 24th. A cooler wave with anti-storm conditions will, in regular order, follow after the storms.

We drop a word of caution to our readers, in case of heavy, threatening clouds any time near the 21st tJ 24th. Mcon perigee on the 23d will prolong and inter si fy new moon perturbation, which would occur normally about 31&t. Tbe change to cooler after tbe storms last mentioued will give place to returning heat about the 27th and 28th, and many scattering mid-summer storms, with more bluster than rain, will occur about 27th to 29ub. By the close of July the general forecasts for the summer, we believe, will be still further verifier}, and those wh« in anywlse.failed to UM1 Z* the Juno rains will rue their neglecc.

The Corner Stone of the New Christian Church to Be Laid Tuesday July 9th! The church officials have decided to lay the corner stone of the new Christian church next Tuesday afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock. Short talks are expected from Rev. B. F. Dailey, pastor of the church, Rev. D. R. VanBuskirk, of Indianapolis, Rev. E. S. Conner, of Noblesville, and the pastors of the other churches here, Mayor George W. Duncan and Judge C. G. Offutt. In the corner stone will be placed a bible, a history of the church written by Major A. K. Bran ham, names of the officers, some of the leading church papers, copies of the city papers Daily and Weekly and a number of other objects of interest. The members of the church over the County and all others who desire are cordially invited to attend and witness the corner stone ceremonies.

The American Bible Society's Work Here.

The Hancock County Bible Society held its annual meeting in the First M. E. church Sunday evening, June 30, 1895. The M. E. church threw open her doors and welcomed all her neighbors and tbe other churches of the city closed their doors and attended the meeting. The house was fiilled and the program was carried out as published. Good speeches were made. The papers covered the field of thought. Supt. W. J. Vigus said Hancock county is the banner county in the State, and that no county but Hancock could have accomplished what was accomplished in the way of diminishing the debt, which was reduced from $126 to $7, as will be seen in the next week's issue, showing how the debt was brought about, the course pursued to relieve it and those who took part.

SlOO Reward, 8100.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they Offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address.

The Window Glass Works Closed For The Summer.

The S. R. Wells window glass works closed Saturday after a very successful years run, both as for quality and quantity of glass produced. This factory has no superior in the country. The Columbian closed the season well but they were subjected to a- few accidents to their pots and furnaces during the year that were annoying at the time. This factory also is one of the very best, and Greenfield has cause to congratulate herself on the thorough management and first class workmen that make our glass factories here a great success.

The Author ot the Nicholson Bill to Be Here.

S. E. Nicholson, of Kokomo, the author of the Nicholson bill, will be here Tuesday evening, July 23, and address the citizens of Greenfield at tbe M. E. church.

A BIG SENSATION AT GEM.

MYERS IS MISSING, BUT IS PROBABLY NOT AS 1£AD AS HE MIGHT BE.

A Fake Funeral Over An ISmpty CoffinMyers Carried 83.000 Insurance— The Company Investigating.

June 20th, three men. Thomas Myers, T. A. Cox and A. F. Burnett, who claimed ElMood as their home, rented an old store room at Gem belonging to Volney Caldwell, of this city, until Sept. 1st, and paid a months rent and were to pay the rest in a few days. They claimed they wanted the place for a fish depot, as they were going to peddle fish over the country, which story was rather "fishy," as Gem is hardly large enough for a distribing point. Last week when Mr. Caldwell went there for his rent, Cox, who claimed to be a doctor, told him that Myers was sick and had the diphtheria, so of course Caldwell did not go in to see him and neither did any of the neighbors. Sunday nigbt Burnett and Mr. Els Grigsby came here at 11 o'clock and said Myers had died at 9 o'clock p. m. They aroused Undertaker Morrison and pur chased one of his cheapest burial outfits, He asked if they wanted the body embalmed and they said no, as they were going to take it overland to 'Clifford, Ind., for burial Monday. While here a telegram was sent in name of Dr. T. A. Cox to Station Agent Myers at Clifford to have a grave dug at Liberty grave yard near there for Thomas Myers, who had died here that night. As both Cox and Myers had formerly lived there the order was complied with. Monday morning when the Gem neighbors inquired how Myers was they were told he had died at 9 o'clock and taken away about 2 o'clock, so none of them saw him, although it is claimed by some Mr. Grigsby saw him die after having three hard fits. The coffin arrived at the grave about 4 p. m. Monday, and after brief services by a minister, was buried, there being twelve or fifteen of Mytrs' old acquaintances present. The body was nos shown at the grave, as Dr. Cox claimed it was too badly decomposed. Tuesday morning, however, a representative of the Order of Foresters arrived at Clifford and demanded an investigation, as Myers had a $3,000 life insurance policy in that company, payable to his uncle, L. A. Cox. Everybody turned out, the grave was reopened and the coffia found empty, except for anopen rino. TYe box containing the casket was slightly broken.

Dr. Cox says he will swear the body was in the coffin when it was buried. The insurance company will want some substantial proof before they band over the $3,000, however. The whole affair is mysterious and looks crooked from the start.

Mrs. Caleb Monsrief Disappears Mouday. But is now Located in Chicago.

Monday just after dinuer, Mrs. Caleb Moncrief, who lives north of here, came to town to do some trading. Not returning in the evening, her husband came here to look for her, but was unable to find any trace. Her horse was found at G. O. Knight's stable where she had put it, telling him she would call for it soon. On Tuesday diligent inquiry failed to revealany thing concerning the whereabouts of Mrs. Moncrief. Last night Mrs. John Glascock received a telegram from a daughter in Chicago, stating thut her Sister, Mrs. Moncrief, was there.

It has since been learned that she took the 2:43 p. train Monday for Indianapolis and then went on to Chicago. Her unexplained absence is somewhat peculiar. Mr. Moncrief is well to do, tbe relations have always been pleasant, and she has five little children. We suppose, however, that after a short visit Mrs. Moncrief will return home. She went away with no money and only her common clothes on. Leaving unannounced made the friends very anxious though..

You should attend the special site of Clothing at Lee C. Thayer's on Saturday and Monday.
