James If. Hillis came here from ^issouri, a few days ago, to visit his ' ftives and old friends. He is gener.V.y admitted to have the inside (track for the Populist nomination for (Governor of Missouri. The Martinsville Democrat says; Ijackson, the alleged murderer, asGerts that he moved in good society ; Greencastle. Yes, but be didn’t ('state, as he should in this connection, dhat good society was not then acquainted with him. \Miss Nellie Leuteko entertained Halycon Club, and its friends a ./• evenings ago, at the residence of ■r parents, in a delightful manner, here was a most enjoyable literary rograme, delicious refreshments were served, and a most enjoyable time was had. The Cloverdale Graphic says: It is rumored that J. II. Steiner will build an electric railway from Cataract to Cloverdale. The road could bo built t^ery cheap as there would be no eonHerable amount of grading required, /e water power obtainable at the (Is would bo sufficient to run fifty jh dynamous as would be required, ue falls of Eel river could be made /summer rciort second to none in the state. There is a white Sulphur spring near the lower falls that possesses rare medicinal virtues, and if the electric road is built and a hotel erected at tiro falls, Cataract will soon become a famous health resort. ^ Every citizen sheu’d clean up in Vi about tho premises he occupies, jeach individual will look well to cleaning arrangement of their premises, there need be no fear of 'contagious diseases this summer. This should be done, not alone to make the habitation more attractive but to make it more healthful. Through the long dreary w inter rubbuh, ash heaps, old cans and many *)Uier articles have accumulated and they should be removed from the streets and alleys of our beautiful ofcy. It will require but little labor on the part of each person to make a great change in the appearance of his yard, alley and street. It is much more fer tho benefit of our citizens that this should be done, than one would suppose. If a stranger comes to our city and sees so much dirt and filth scattered around, he will not be pleased with the town. If a contagious disease ^should make its appearance there (wvould not be so much harm done. If Che city is kept in u good condition there will be no danger of spreading pestilence or contagion.

deity.” Elder Lane’s invocation was short, and seemed to fail to hold the crowd, as there was continual talk during its delivery. • Tom T. Moore then buttonholed Case, just as he was beginning to recite that same old speech, and buzzed in his ear all the information at his command, when he gracefully and graciously took a back seat while Case got off his declamation, about prosperity under the G. O. R. P. in the past and its certainty in the fu-

ture.

Tom T. Moore then came to the front again and said that Case et al. had previously appointed a committee to name the permanent officers and fix the program for the brethren to follow. He had it written out so there could be no mistakes, and read it to those assembled. The officers he named were S. A. Hays, Chairman; J. E. M. O’Hair, Isaac Perry and B. O. Jones, Vice ChairmCTi; H. M.

first ballott stood Watson 58, Woodrum 7, Hutchinson 9, Ruark 1, King 8, Macy 79, Watts 5. Woodrum, Hutchinson, Ruark, King and Watts then withdrew, and the next ballot read Watson 68, Macy 99. Macy was declared the nominee and he said he had known for a month just how it was going to be and he was prepared to make the fight. This was a sort of giving the snap away, in the estimation of

many.

For County Assessor Elder Oscar Lane was nominated by a vote of 1091 to 561 cast for Ford Scribner, but when the Elder learned of his nomination he failed to tumble into the trap, and begged to be excused, at the same time urging that Scribner be set up that he might be knocked down. Alter some talk his declination was accepted and Scribner was given the place. He was called to the front and said he was young, which undoubtedly accounts for the fact that he appeared delighted because of securing the nomination. For Coroner Dr. Summers was nominated by acclamation, which gives the ticket two physicians to bind up their owm wounds and the wounds of their fellow suffer* r * on the ticket, after they have been dumped out of the band wagon into the slough of despond by the voters, next November. Frank Williams was put on the ticket for Surveyor, as no one else would havo it, and he pretended, at' least, to feel honored and thankful. For Commissioner in the Second District J. F. Shonkwiler, J. C. Itkeatand Ed. Perkins were voted for. The first ballot resulted as follows: Shonkwiler 27, Rheat 761, Perkins 6:P, Shonkwiler was then withdrawn and Rheat got there by a vote of 901 to 761 for Perkins. Rheat was called for and he meekly and mildly told the brethren that he was willing to take his punishment as on a previous occasion the indications are that his dose of defeat will be more than quadrupled next

time.

Commissioner in tho Third District was a walk over for Lycurgus Stoner; he received 136 votes, P. L. Hubbard 29 and Alonzo Sutton 2. Corwin’s previously prettily prepared resolutions, on linen paper, inscribed with a type writer, and para graphed perfectly were then read

cord of the G. O. R. P., denounced the Democratic party, and instructed

because of tho distinguished honor which had been thrust upon him, and he was really thankful therefor; Case had stolen a part of his thunder by deelaniing before he had opportunity, but he would give them what he had left of buncombe and bombast; he admitted, strange to say, that the cattle and the ducks, the hogs and the hens, the sheep and the geese, take to their feed and fatten as well under Democratic rule as under Republican, and had done exceedingly well in so doing; he called attention to the fact that experts had been examining the books of the county and had found them all correct, but he thought that these experts had not done their whole duty because they lailed to report just to the liking ot the Republican party, but in the next breath he admitted that no one had ever supposed for a moment '.hat a Putnam county Democratic official would ever pay out more of the public funds than was absolutely necessary under the law T and evidence. He then named a committee on resolutions, as a matter of fbrm, and to give Corwin opportunity to read those previously prepared, this committee consisting of Messrs. Corwin, Scribner, Hanna, Hodges and Kellar. Next came the confirmation of the slate previously prepared, and it was ns slickly done as it was prepared, there appearing to bo real contests in some instances, but this was to give those destined to defeat n chauce

to fall easy.

First, Dr. A. H. Moore, of Clinton township, was nominated for Repre-

for McKinley they were adopted. About this time Col. Dick Thomp son, the “silver tongued;” John L. Griffith, the Demosthenes; Riley McKecn the would be Senator, and other Republican lights of lesser magnitude, were toled into the Opera House under the care and guidance of Hon. S. F. Lockridge and Dr. Evans. They were given a seat on the stage while the band played on, the students gave the McKeen yell, and the boys applauded. Silas A. Hays told how happy and how proud he was in presenting Col. Thompson to a Putmm County audience, and Col. Thompson made his speech, which tickled the brethren wonderfully, because he appealed to their vanity and stirred up their self-importance. NOTES. The O. O. R. P. is still gagged in this county not a word was said, nor a declaration made in regard to finance or the currency question. Some one got in sufficient fine work to put Ed Perkins in the soup he got sand bagged in his own ward, skunked in some precincts in his own township, and everlastingly knocked out all around. Honors were nearly easy between Ruark and Sutton the former got one vote and the latter got two votes in their respective races. Tho Major from Nubbin Ridge made tho nominating speech of the day in putting Levi Woodrum before the convention, but it didn’t draw

seutative, and when he was called to .votes as it should his man’s the front he told all he thought he strength only aggregated 7 votes, knew about protection and free trade, | Tiie Republican party is ungrateful and more too. —Lem John’s made the race two For Treasurer four aspirants wore yoars ago on the ticket, and wanted named: James Fordyce, James Mat- the nomination for treasurer this thes, Isaac Gilmore and Leim Johns.

Those Gilmore badges looked pretty but they didn’t draw. The DePauw students turned out en masse as an escort to Col. Thompson Banner-Times. There were just 47 people, all told, in that escort, a portion of the way from the depot, but at the wind-up there were not that many. The way the knifo was inserted between Ed. Perkins’ ribs and twisted by those who had it in for him in Greencastle, was cruel, but it afforded tbem infinite pleasure. Real Estate Transfers. Emma F. Potter to Mary A.

There never was a bettor prospect for a crop of fruits of all kinds than there is now. The warm rains and balmy atmosphere of the past few days has quickened everything into life, pushing the fruit buds and the leaves forward v ery rapidly. They cherry, peach, plum, pear and apple trees are loaded with fruit buds as are the pawpaw trees. Of the smaller fruits suen as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes, there never was a brighter prospect than there is to-day. There is fear that a late frost would do great damage but if half of the buds were killed there would be an abundance of fruit lett. This is the week to spray trees and vines of all kinds and there is nothing that will pay the growers of fruit a better per cent, than to do this.

LOOKS LIKE COFFEE But Made of Nature's Pine Grains A Pure Food. The ancient Germans were a sturdy race and history records that they were meat users of grain in their daily food. Persons who stick to a plentiful diet of grains bread, meat and fruits are reasonably sure to keep well Much butter or sweets should be avoided, as the starch of the food is turned to sugar and finally to fat. Tea and coffee make themselves felt with thousands of Americans of the present day. They delay digestion, ns shown in late experiments. and this fact explains the cause of the serious discordc rs which frequently come to old and steady tea and coffee drinkers. A new drink, called “Hostuni Cereal, M has lately bten produced by a careful preparation of the grains, and it possesses the important elements of being fac-smile in looks of the finest Mocha coffee, has a rich, pungent flavor and easily digested by the weakest stomachs. It is a nourishing food dri ( nk of the most perfect character and is quickly taken into the system and into the circulation. The makers claim that “it makes red blood,” and results justify the claim. It is especially good for the production of a char skin, through which the coursing red blood can be seen in pink and ruddy flashes, producing that charming complexion so much admired in the thoroughly healthy woman or man. “Postum'* can be used by the children as well as the adults, and the chicks become very fund of their “coffee.” Being composed of grains alone, it is absolutely pure and healthful, a natural food drink and is made by the Postum Cereal Co.
