Taking the Town by Storm PRECAUTIONARY: The cost of all-wool clothing is about the same ns usual. It is still made out of all-wool, ami the work people expect wages. The benevolent storekeeper is abroad in large type, and we may have to wait till the “blow” is over and you’re tired of getting clothing at “fifty cents on the dollar.” What room have v while the tea-pot tempest in clothing prices lasts? We can’t give a set of silverware with a $5 suit. What a beautiful silver set it must be! And then to think you get a good suit for nothing! They don’t want to make money at present. Oh.no! They haven’t any purpost* just now in keeping store, except to razzle dazzle you. Good styles and quality always bring fair prices. They’re worth it. Hub Clothing and Hat House, LOTSHAR & BURLINGAME, Proprietors.
The April shower business has been slightly overdone. Report Iif that Dr. Grose, of Indianapolis, is soon to join the army of Benedicts. Mr. Springstein, manager of the When Clothing Stores, was hero on Wednesday. Mrs. Fben Martin, of Quincy, has been here visiting her parents, Coroner McNeff and wife. Hibbard Fuqua Lee is the name of the new son born to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse E. Lee, at St. Louis. Dr. B"own lectured to a large audience at the Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday night, and those who heard him were pleased, entertained and instructed. My head is stuffy and hot, My aural nerves sizrle and sing— And this is my annual lot While winter is flirting with spring. The “detective” has not yet returned with Cooper Bros.’ horse and saddle. Neither has he written to tell of his whereabouts and the state of his health. The “short change” racket was worked by the fakirs hanging on to the circus, Monday, but the victim discovered the game and forced the swindler to even up in an honest manner. A gentleman of observation but lacking in discretion, remarked at the circus, on Monday afternoon, when the clown had the trick mule do his singing act, that it was not the first time he had heard a donkey attempt to sing. We thought it was spring, And took down the stove; But twas no such th‘og— Still winter, by Jove! The array of Candidates for Democratic nomination for county office continues to grow, e’en at this early day; now the name of John Houck is added as a candidate for Clerk. John hails from Washington township, and is widely acquainted. The DePauw Mandolin Club, assisted by the Ladies’ Lorelei Club, will give a popular concert in Meharry Hall on May 8. The entertainment is under the auspices of the ladies interested in the Masonic Orphans Home, to which the proceeds go. All Masons and others interested in benevolence should attend. He's in trouble; so's his wife, Because he tried, they say. To lead a nineteen thousand lift; Or. nineteen hundred pay. On Saturday night an over-abun-dance of lighting whiskey imbibed at divers times while practicing at the bar, by one Clearwaters, hailing from Warren township, led to a knock down between he and Jim Snider, on the north side of the square. Clearwater hit Snider to the latter’s wonderful surprise, but when the surprise lapsed Snider done up a perfect job of slugging on Clearwater, knocking him down a time or two and then belted him for falling. Women seem level-lieuded. In spite of what men prate; But what in the mischief’s the reason That their hats are never on straight? We wish to acknowledge our gratitude to the Greencastlf* Fire Department boys for their good judgment in fighting the fire at this office, on Mondr night. Nothing was harmed by wa r, and those who desired to dump ii' ri bures and material into t 1 ' * “trt t were restrained. No mater .! \v> t needlessly injured and no su t of vandalism was allowed. Everythin . was just as it should be. May their good work and good luck continue whenever and wherever they are called out to fight fire. We're nil going to Chicago, To see the great World's Fair; We've long laid < .V to visit Our dear rela* ■ s there.

From Indianapolis Sentinel of Wednesday. The Democratic press of the State will unanimously regret the destruction of the Greencastle Star-Press office by fire. Mr. Arnold has made that paper a success and a valuable aid to the cause of Democracy throughout Indiana, and ho deserves better
luck.
With Dispatch.
If a fire can be called fortunate, surely the Star-Press experience of Monday night was fortunate. The
Mrs. J. A. Crose, of Indianapolis, is visiting Mrs. Allen. We wore in error last week in regard to an assessor calling at the same house twice to list property for taxation. The official was taking an enumeration of the children for school nurposes, and was much chagrined because of the fact that he failed to find any to enumerate when he made his second, as veil as his first call.
Fire.
On Monday night about 11 o’c’ock smoke was discovered pouring out of the openings of the building oecujiied by the Star-Press office. The'flre department was on hand promptlyand worked with skill and rare discretion and good judgment. The tire, which had douotless originated from the boiler furnace, burned through the floor and spread under it, making no blaze but an abundance ot smoke; the fire boys located the trouble with great difficulty and put the water only where it was needed. Asa result the damage was reduced to a minimum, and the department won the plaudits of all who had knowledge of the facts. The loss was
considerable; fully insured. -Mrs. Perthera Col«nm,i is in Illinois. —Jolin Stac* koch to St. Louis to reside. —M'S. B F. Beckwith is reported better.
