There is a continuous interest manifested in the question ot fuel gas, and some tacts gathered in regard to rt; its use in Terre Haute are here given. | the information having been fur- ! nished through the columns of the Express of that city. The newspaper named says that fuel gas is in common use there, and the price charged therefor is thirty-five cents per 1000 cubic feet; the pressure is reliable and its heating qualitiea are excellent. The matter of moat importance, however, to consumers is not touched upon, and that is the re lative cost of fuel gas as compared

with coal.

In the Legislature, a few days ago Mr. MeCallister called up his bill tc .abolish township teachers’ institutes which had tailed of engrossment ths day before, and Mr. Vermillion mads | a formal speech of considerable lengtl j for the bill. He said these ir.stitutei ' were not only uslees, but a hardship upon the teachers compelled to at tend them. They cost the people o ! Indiana more than they are worth Mr. Farlow spoke against the bill a length, pleading that the exeellen school system of Indiana be no marred in any way. Thornton als» talked against the bill. Mr. McCal lister announced rather piroudly tha he was the author of this bill, talked at length on the fact that thesi institutes cost the State about $108, 000 per year. Mr. Kester spoke fo the bill ane Behymer against it. Th< bill was killed, the enacting clause be ing stricken out on a division vote.

Death of an Old Citizen. On Sunday last Mr. William Earp, father of Mr. John Earp, died at the family residence,afteralongsieknes:;, aged 86 years. Deceased was a native of Maryland, and came to this country very many years ago he was one one of the pioneers, and was widely known and highly respected b y a large circle of friends and acquaintances who sincerely mourn his demise and sympathize with the bereaved relatives.

Mrs. W. F. Swahlen is visiting her parents, at Lebanon, Ills. He ate old cheese and young mince pie And dreamed—well, what he dreamed Was faintly indicated by The way in which he screamed. Representative Ader is quoted as follows in regard to an additional appJHkpri&tfoa for “I think the whole thing is an outrage. I shall not vote for any additional appropriation until there has been presented to the House an itemized statement of the expenses of the Indiana commission. I want to know how much this trip to Chicago cost. I am in favor of Indiana making a creditable exhibit at the World’s Fair, but I believe the manufacturers and others who are to reap the benefits from this exhibit should bear the burden of the expense of preparing for the exhibition. Before I shall vote for a dollar more I shall insist that we know where the money already appropriated has gone.” If hoops are coming back again, There’s comfort to be had: The end must then be very plain Of this skirt-dancing fad. Suprising it is, but it is not creditable to the county that so many families, many of them well off in this world’s goods, do not take a county paper. There is no good reason why this should be so. It cannot be excused on account of economy, or any sound reason. The benefits to be derived are so numerous and so plain that all can understand them. The local newspaper gives the local news in which all are or should be interested. The family reads it, and thus is fostered and encouraged a desire for reading and the acquisition of knowledge; the head of the family is warned of the many swindlingdodges practiced by sharpers and is enabled to avoid them; reading the county paper instructs, interests and amuses all in the family, from the 8-year old to the 80-year old, because they know of that which is commented upon in its columns. Wo request our readers to explain these facts to those who are not subscribers for a local newspaper that they may be induced to take the Star-Press, the only paper whice gives all the local news all the time for only $1 per year.

Obituary.

Albert, son of Bailey and Nettie O’Niel, whs born Jan. 5, 1870; died Feb. 5, 1893, aged 23 years and one month. His greatest desire as he grew to manhood was to get an education that he might engage in school teaching, at which he was quite successful, but the dread disease, consumption, laid hold on him, and he was obliged to give up ins profession.

Temperate in all tilings, chaste in conversation, and honest in all of ids dealings, his last request was in regard to his funeral; lie did not want to hurt his ch-rchby i.ri getting ids Pastor, vet he wanted Sister Nice, as lie felt that it washy her words that lie was induced to seek peace in a crucified Savior and he had the witness that God, for Christ's sake had forgiven his sins. A Friend.
