We do not expect cost. We have brought this stock ta Ureencastle to close it out, to give our fiiends and neighbors the benefit of this sale. There are no people on earth I desire lo favor more than those of Putnam county, and if this splendid stock of clothing, hats and furnishing goods must be sold at less than cost ! want the people of Putnam to reap in this •‘Harvest" of low prices. We have over 5t.K> Children's Suits. 300 Ovorcoats. 1,000 suits of Men's Clothes. GOO pairs of Men's Pants. 1,000 pairs of Men's Gloves. A vast arraj of shelf goods.

THE STAR-PRESS.
The odds are in favor of Hon. T. T. Moore holding on to the railroad passes he treasures so highly. The near approach of final adjurnmentof the Indiana Legislature is hailed with joy by a long sutlering people. The Republican State Central Committee met at Indianapolis, last Monday, and in the course of its meeting declared that it was opposed to the passage of the Nicholson Bill. Fame has been thrust upon one George W. McBride, by the Oregon legislature. The effort to elect a l S. Senator had been in vain until about fifteen minutes before final adjoinment was had. The last ballot was taken when the name of Me Bride was for the first time suggested, and he was elected by a substantial majority. The Republican Committee appointed to investigate the charge that free whisky was served in the basement of the Indiana Capitol has made the report expected of it. It declares that the whisky was served only in quantities of a quart at a time t > be drank on the premises, and denies that it corrupted anybody. Representative Jackson is severely ren sured for giving the snap away, and he will never again be asked to step down in the basement and take a drink at the expense of Indiana’s Liquor League. The Clay City Sentinel editor, Will Nangle, formely of Cloverdale, has been indicted by the grand jury, in Clay county for acting as a member of the election board in November, 1894, when he had previously made bets on the result of the election. He informs the people in his columns that he will make his defense when the case is called for trial, and that it will be a satisfactory defense. In the mean time it may be well for every one to remember that if you plac e bets on the result of an election you cannot legally act as a member of the election board, and if you do serve you are liable to fine and imprisonment. This provision of the law is a dead letter in many places, bat it should he enforced.

The Republicans have passed a Congressional apportionment bill through the House of Representatives. The Fifth District consists of Vigo, Clay, Vermillion, Parke, Putnam, Hendricks, Morgan ; 7 republican. The supposition is that the bill will be passed by the Senate. At Muncie last week, a peculiar law suit resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. Mrs. Walley, wife of William A. Walley, brought suit against Messrs. Ervin, Miller and Russy for $G,000, alleging in her complaint that the defendants ha 1 won this amount of money in a gambling room which the defendants owned, controlled or played in, and furthermore that they had won this money from her husband playing faro with him The jury were not long in reaching a conclusion, after the evidence had been heard, and returned a verdict for Mrs. Walley, ia the sum of fV 414 50.
An act of justice should be and is hereby credited to the Indiana Legislature, in that it has repealed the iniquitons and unfair Grubbs libel law called because it was introduced, championed and forced throught the legislature by one Grubbs, who, it is said, took this way to “get even” with some newspapers that had given him deserved but not complimentary mention during his canvass for office. This Grubbs law has been condemed by all fair minded men and newspapers, ever since it was enacted, and in the past year has been keep constantly under fire by the newspapers of the State. The new law provides that, in case
One of Greencastle’s prominent Republicans; one who leads, works, talks, and takes a prominent part in Republican affairs here, told a StauFress reporter, on Tuesday, that Representative Hanna was representing his constituents in the legislature honestly and well, but, said he, Tom Moore is representing no one but Tom Moore and all that wlrch is repre hensible and bad in Republican politics—he is one of the sort that it won’t do to tie to; he puts too great a value on railroad passes, which are used in such cases by railroad corporations as a sort of indirect but far reaching and elfective bribe ; look at his vote in the Miller Bower case— Mr. Hanna voted to retain Bower in the House, as he had been elected by the people, Moore voted to rob the people of their choice, and helped to seat Miller, thus becoming responsible for a steal that is disgraceful to the party; then again, see his attitude in regard to the management of the benevolent and penal institutions ; he has been tearing up the earth in his efforts to go back on the Republican platform, and make their management partisan by taking the appoint ing power away from the Governor— —he is one of the fellows that trains with the gang who swagger and howl: “D—d the platform ’’ The Republicans sent him a written protest signed by the leading Republicans here, against his action in this matter, but he gave it no heed ; he stayed with Uig“D — d the platform’’ gang until they were knocked out, on Monday night, at the Republican caucus, and by the way, it is well to remember that George W.

In Memorian). William N. AUee was born in Barren county, Kentucky, June 1, 1817; died at his home Mill Creek township, Putnam county, Indiana, February 7, 1895; aged 77 years, 8 months, and 6 days. He was a sou of William and Susan Allee, natives of Virginia. His father died when he was 9 years old, and when 13 years old hi«* mother died: and when about 15 years of age, he and Ids brother. John Allee. (migrated to Putnam county, Indiana. He was early thrown upon ids own resources and experienced all the inconviences ol pioneer life, but by industry and economy lie succeeded in ae umu lating a handsome fortune for himself and family. He was educated in the subsci ipsion school of the early day, which enabled him to teach school with good success. , He was a inau of much public spirit and enterprise, generous in his nature, and contributed liberally to all worthy enterprises. In 1843 he married Miss MeCamuiaek—to this union were bom five children, three ot whom are living.—Nancy J., wife of John W. McAninch. John P., Attorney at law, Greencastle, Ind., and Mary 8., wife of W. H. Tinder. Danville, Ind. He united in marriage tiie second time, February 33, 1862, to Amanda T. Vermillion, of Hendricks county, Ind.; three children by this union are living—Francis B., Ulysses G., and Ida. lie had been a sufTerer of many ailments, at times for years, all of which he bore with Christian patience, ever faithful and zealous Having obtain)ed a hope in Christ, and joined the Regular Predestinarian Baptist at Mill Creek Church; he and Ids first wife were baptised by Elder Cyrus Talier, on March 27, 1859. Being taught by the grace of God, and led bv the spirit, he lived soberly, righteously, and Godly. He died without a stain on his Christian life. Unassuming in his way, preferring others above himself, yet in the absence of his pastor, he would lead his Brethern in worship by singing and Prayer. His seat was never vacant, if he was able to fill it, and he always met his Brethern and Sisters with so much pleasure, and had such a childlike disposition, that to know him was to love and esteem him. Charitable in all things he never forget his duty to his Church and Ministers, but gave as the Lord had prospered him. He has served as clerk of his church, and held many other positions of trust. He was the chaim of his home, the pride of his beloved wife, and children, and all who knew him. During his sickness every attention and care was given him by loving hands, and lie died in perfect hope of the better life; leaving a world of sorrow and pain, to gain a home of sweet repose; his voice will be heard no more by his sorrowing family and many friends; his kind and familiar appearance we shall see no more, but the recollection of his life, of his devotion, and purity, and truth, will remain with all vvho knew him as an inspiration and vision which will uot fade away.

Obituary.
Mrs. Be8°ie Brown, wite of Clark Brown, died at her home near Roachdale, Wednesday morniDR, February 20. 1896, in the thirtyeighth year of her a**-- She leaves a husband five children, a large number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Brown had been afflicted with consumption for more than a year, during which time she bore her suffering with patience and fortitude. She was a devoted wife, a kind and affectionate mother, and a charitable friend to the poor. All was done that kind and loving hands coiud do, but in vain. He who w&tci es over his fold, culled her name and she obeyed. What a bereavement, especially to the father and children! To them the good poet expresses much in the
following lines:
“How strange it seems with so much gone Of life and love to still live on.” It is very sad to see our friends pabsing away. Had indeed to look upon that vacant chair. Yet while our sorrow seems greater than we can hear, we should be consoled in the thought that our loved one is beyond all earthly care, and that we may so live, that when our heavenly Father calls, we will he ready to meet our mother in the land of the redeemed. The funeral services weie conducted by Rev. Arhart at the family residence. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to the Brown Cemetery, where she was beautifully laid to rest.
Hushed is the voice we loved so well,
Head stillness reigns around. Broken by naught save doleful sobs,
Voices of plaintive sound.
Calling for mother, mother dear As soft as a sweet toned bell, Heartfelt sobs go forth today Like a mournful funeral knell. And as the sad tidings speed
Why this solmn spell?
Tears' unnumbered sadly flow From thnrc who loved her we!!. Yet, within the stricken heart,
A voice doth sweetly say
“Clod, who doeth all things well,” Hath borne the loved away. Death did not come to our mother dear, To steal her from our sight, But her soul, by God’s angels pure Was borne in Its upward tMght. “O, God bless my baby, dear.”
With upturned eyes she said, Ere anotner word was spokeu The vital spark kad fled. Dead but her memory still shall live With friends and neighbors all. The deeds of kindness she has done The half they can never recall. Those noble deeds, like precious gems, Before her God she’ll see Sparkle with a luster grand For all eternity. If. W.
