17. S. rOST-OSFH* EXHIBIT. The rural visitor will be interested and probably amazed when he sees the mullifarous details of the government's great postal exhibit. Methods of transporting the mails, from the dogsled, with Indian driver, to the magnificent modern postal railway car, or the swift transatlanI ic liner, will be fully shown. Most fascinating of all, perhaps, are the historical exhibit and the dead-letter office exhibit, the former with its wonderful collections of postage stamps and the latter with its museum of curiosities. Then there is the comparison with foreign postofII ee methods, which will bo shown in tho foreign exhibits. The postoffice department has iLs exhibit in the southwest corner of the main government building at the fairgrounds. It is the most complete showing ever made by the department. Tho most conspicuous exhibit of all is the model postoffice. This is a working exhibit and, besides being useful to people who get their mail on the ,J;.ur grounds will be a complete illustration of the methods of a model city postoffice. There will bo no conveniences in a city postoffice that will not be duplicated in this model office. Its outer walls are of glass, and the public may see the whole business of receiving, sorting and delivering the mails. Experts in their various lines will be employed. The "World’s Fair postoffice is now open. There will be an hourly delivery of mails to all parts of the grounds. The postoffice occupies a space 100x50 feet. The glass are ornamented with sandglass illustrations of the various methods of transporting the mails. Adjoining the postoffice is a completely equipped, modern postal railway car. This is in all respects a duplicate of the most modern cars now in use, and was built expressly for the World's Fair exhibit. It stands against the west wall of the building. Its east side has been removed entirely and the public will see all the operations that are usually performed in sorting mails en route. This car will be a working exhibit and will be used to help the postoffice clerks in sorting and distributing the "World’s Fair mails. Half a dozen clerks or more will be employed during working hours. There are twenty-six large maps showing all the postal routes in the several States and Territories. These are mounted on easels, and are. immediately adjoining the postoffice and postal car. On these maps are different colored lines, each color representing the frequency of mail service over certain routes. The character of the service, whether by rail, water, horse or foot, is shown in a similar way. These maps are very complete and there is not a postal hamlet in the entire Union that is not included therein. There is also a large map of the world showing thA various lines of travel by which the United States mails are carried to foreign countries. —Chicago Herald. THE CYCLONES. F. M. Stevens & Co. who have a branch store bree, have recently sold three threshing outfits of the Cyclone pattern. These machines thresh wheat wi thout the aid of a feeder, band cutters, measurers, or straw stack hands. The sheaves of wheat wra thrown upon a revolving canvas that carries them to the cylinder which knocks the wheat from the head and blows the straw upon the stack without any manual labor whatever. Their machines also weigh the wheat in the sack. Three men are all that are required to successfully operate these machines. Oqe was sold to Henry Hard, one to Frank Oberliece, and the other to the Biddingsr Bros. Caiuiaoncoment Exer Use*. Last Thursda}’ evening the Moravian church was crowded to listen to the interesting exercises connected with the graduation rf pupils from Haw creek township public schools. It is a source of no little gratification t o one interested in the welfare of his country to see the interest which is

taken in all the exercises connected with our public schools. The nine graduates were, Kate Dodd, Bucien Arouckle, Florence Anderson, HartsviII*,JesseScudder, Sadie Marlin, ,T. D. Sidener, Ardie Vogler, Hattie Stewart, and Katie Griffin, Hope. All of them acquitted themselves well in the parts assigned them in the programme. Tho address by County Superintendant Griffin was full of excellent advice to the graduates. The music for the occasion was furnished by Miss Ella Critser, Misses Hettie Snyder and Kate Dodd,Otis Snyder and Jasso Scudder, Miss Joanna Houtmau Mrs. Khoda Walker, Chauncey Dronbsrger.Charles Porter and the orchestra. Trustee Danner and his able corps of teachers are to be congratulated on so successful a termination to their year's work. itiEasr wins. Dr. Appleman,the most celebrated specialist in tho state, merits the great reputation he «njoys. He has been doming to Columbus nearly two years and during that time has made some wonderful cures. He has treated everybody fairly and honestly and all recommend him. His treatment is the latest and best, his drugs compounded under his personal supervision and the results of his treatment superior to all others. By consulting the doctor you get the advice and opinion of as good a specialist as can be found in large cities and save the expense of going there. Consult him free at Belvedere Hotel, Columbus, Monday next, May 8th. THIS E1.1SCX10N. The election Tuesday passed off quietly, there being no contest except for the office of Marshal. For this office Wright, Citizens, received 107 votes and Spaugh, Republican 95, giving Wright a majority of 12. For Clerk, Miller received 123 votes; Treasurer,Porter received 127 votes; Trustee, 3d ward, Welsh 131 votes. Thirteen votes were thrown out on account of illegal stamping. OBiTUARY. On April 28th. the noble sprit of Mrs. John A. Moore passed beyond the reach of mortal joys and sorrows. Her age was 09 yrs., 3 mo. and 9 da. The deceased was born in Butler county, Ohio, Jan. 19, 1821. She was united in marriage to John A. Moore May 11, 18-11. To this union wore born seven children who survive her, three sous and four daughters. Winnie Fred Chesser was the maiden name of the woman now so deeply mourned. She came to Indiana about 1832 and joined the Baptist church Miy 13, 1811 and remained a faithful and consistent ■member until the day of her death. The funeral services were conducted at Pleasant Grove church by Rev. W. W. Smith in the presence of a large concourse of people. May the consolations of heaven rest upon the faithful husband who for almost half a century has walked bj 7 her side, and may tho memory of a Christian mother greatly moderate tho deep grief of her children is the prayer of many friends. * Philip Spaugh had charge of the funeral. HOUSE NOTES. It pays to raise well bred livestock and no other kind. Do not become too strongly attached to any one line of breeding is ; good advice. The mistake is made hy horsemen to suppose that a successful career, on the race course is tho chief end of ; the trotting and pacing horse of, America, when, in point of tact, theultimate and important use to which ; the light harness if put, is to become i the gentleman’s driving horse. — 1 Eushville Graphic. “You can fool all the people part 1 of the time, and part of the people all the time,but you can’t fool all the 1 people all the time.” You can’t mak 11 all the people or half of them now believe that a trotting hors,-' is a trotter unless he can trot. He may be registered,, as one of the local 1

I breeders says, in the Herd Book,but that only proves that Ike Smith says he was bred so ana so. Call horses that trot, trotters, and put them in a small lot by themselves, call the balance just what they are, failures as trotters, and put them in a great big lot by themselves. Then the blind man will be able so see that we have not too many trotters, but not nearly enough, —American Trotter. SAIalSAGUNBI SATUim XSiiaijs Are Tjjt WJiit Tliey Seens.
