All prescriptions filled at Fertig's No. 52 Indiana avenue are compounded by ao experienced pharamaceutist; hence no mistakes are made.

Mr. Louis Torrel, the efficient shipping clerk at the "When store, is the only colored man holding a position of that kind in tht city. Why is this? It is certainly not because there are none competent. There is considerable talk of sinking an . artesian well in circle park. Prof. Collet recommends that a well be sunk to the depth of 400 feet at an estimated cost of $1,000. lie thinks that at that depth water can be obtained having-anedicinal qualities. In the western part of the city there is a building association composed almost entirely of Germans, Irish and colored people. These business combinations may lead to other combinations in the future which will be equally beneficial to all.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Tarbell on Iii System. The News of July 29 published an interview witn öupi. larnen on tue scuuui question, which is intended as a reply to the public criticism of the Iiron-Tarbell-Carey management. It states among other things that Messers. Brown and Tarbell visited every teacher in the city during the year, and upon the recommendations made after these visits, the subsequent removals and pr. motions were made. This is a flat contradiction to the statement announced some time ago that Prof. Tarbell had nothing to do with the change in the High School. Thus we see that truth is not regarded as an essential quantity in the management of our public schools. 'Tis true, 'tis pity; and pity 'tis, 'tis true. Besides "giving away" the fact that the appointment of teachers is conducted on the "boss" Dlan. of which Mr. Brown is chief 1" w disDenser. aad Mr. Tarbell a kind of . sub r agent, this statement also dsicloses the interesting fact that Mr. Carey's position on the committee is entirely ornamental. "We knew that by a kind of "senatorial courtesy" ar Mr. Vonnegut was given control of the ap pointment of German teachers, but we were never betöre cognizant oi tne irue position of Dr. Carev on the committee, rrom our knowledge, however, of the Doctor's qualification for . membership on the board, we are prepared to eay that he is very properly located. But there doubtless are people in the city, of unesthetic tastes, who will question the utility of having the gentleman on the committee. Tarbell's statement only serves to confirm the very prevalent belief that appointments in the schools are obtained only through fa voritism. If applicants are personal favor ites of Messrs. Brown and Tarbell, or of some of their friends, they may possibly 'ob tain an appointment, but not otherwise. If any District or High School principal at tains such prominence as to appear qualified to be placed at the head of our school sys tem, an attempt is made at once to smirch his reputation as a teacher, for no other reason than to get him out of the way. These are the naked facts.however much we may dislike to acknowledge it. As a rule people pay very little attention to school affairs, but the fact that our schools are managed bv a narrow-minded, selfish lique, whose cnly purpose is self-perpetua-tion, ls-very rapidly dawning on the public mind. It is said that whom the gods would destroy they first make mad, and we think this is about the condition ot the little ring now manipulating the school management. It is a poor condition of ahairs, and can not last long, when to mantain their power in competent men have to strike down worth ier persons than themselves. - The following from the New Albany Pub lie Press is very applibable here: "Superin tendents, who should be pounding iron or cutting wood are too often foisted upon the public, and entirely too often they conduct themselves in a manner disgraceful to the positions they hold and are a dead weight to the public school system. In other words and to make it short, there are entirely too many jackasses holding positions asSuperintendents who can not write a grammatical sentence or prepare an article fit for publi cation in a respectable journal. Their sole idea seems to be to cram the pupil with a lot of silly stuff that is worse than no teaching. In this city our public schooh are well nih ruined ly this policy and practice. In fact, our trustees this year were so heartily bshamed of the 'progress' made in the public schools that for a long time they hesitated at holding 'commencement m public." ' t A gentleman writing to the News states that if it were practicable, he would send his children to a private school, rather than have them miseducated by the present stu pid management of the Superintendent. Ssnsatlon on Indiana Avenue. The public is all agog over some startling developments which have just come to light. It seems that the firm of Wells & Wells opened a cigar store at Nq. 184 Indiaua ave. and are now selling the best five cent cigar that can be purchased in the city. Best brands of tobaccos always on hand. Notice. There will be a grand musical entertain ment and festival given by the ladies and friends of Jones Tabernacle, at the summer resort, next Wednesday evening, for the benefit of the choir and Sunday-school. Music by Bell's cornet band. We cordially invite all lovers ot choirs and Sundayscnoois to come ana let us nave an evening of enjoyment together, for we anticipate a good time. Come one, come all. Admission, adults 10 cts., children "under fifteen years 5 cts. H. M. Cephas, Manager. Alleged Abduction. Friday night Harry Smith and James Hammel were arrested on warrants sworn out by Lulu Mancenkamp and a young wo man, named Miller, charging abduction. The women claim that the men induced them to drink lemonade which was drugged, and afterwards took them to a hotel and passea me night witn tnem as it tnev were married. The men claim it simply a case of blackmail, and say that the women were the first to propose the lark, which they accepted very reluctantly. The alleged abduction occured Sunday night. Unless compromised the matter will be ventilated in the courts. The Ecumenical Council. At the last generalConference of the M.E. Church four Bishops, four Elders and four Laymen were appointed to represent that connection in the great council of ministers which convenes in London, England,during the latter part of this month.

Miss Addie Waldoncelebrated her twentieth birthday, last Wednesday evening, at the residence of her mother on Columbia St. Quite a number of her friends gathered there to extend their congratulations. Miss Addie was looking very sweetly and did the honors with ease and dignity. The delicacies of the season were served in royal style, and a good time was had. Everybody was smiling, including yours truly, and all went away at a late hour wishing the young lady many another such a happy birthday celebration.

On last Sunday night a gang of fourteen Orange County roughs on horseback and wearing masks, started out to mob a Negro living near Paoli, in that County. Apprised of their coming, he gathered three colored friends at his house, all armed, and awaited the appearance of the brave knights of the golden circle. The gang soon arrived and ordered the man to come out. He re sponded with a shot, and the roughs opened on the house with their revolvers in regular ku-klux style. Tho men in the bouse an swered with their shot guns, and after the second round it was discovered that one of the roughs was badly wounded. The gang, panic-stricken, immediately retreated, taking the wounded villain with them. e nave not yet leainea ine names ounesemen who so bravely defended their home, but they are certainly deserving of much credit for the good example they have set their more timid brethren. Thev are, however, men who will be hereafter respected in their community. Resolutions of Condolence.

TUE GOOD LUCK,

Which deems to Await Wife. Lovel Bass and Lovel Bass and wife, through their attorneys.have brought suit against parties living on lind in Riuh and Shelby Counties for an individual interest in 1,100 acres of land. Mr. Bass is an old resident of this County, having lived here forty-one years, and is well known by both white and colored people. Their claim is based upon the following statement, as detailed to a Loader reporter by Mr. Cass: When slavery reigned In all its glory. Mrs. Bass was one of the fifteen slaves own ed by a man named Grafford, whose planta tion was in the vicinity of Pans, Jvy. Grafford grew old and gained wealth from the labor of his slaves, and as he saw death ap proaching, his conduct showed that he desired to make amends for the great wrong he was perpetrating. In 1832 he came to Indiana and bought a tract of 1,100 aeres of land lying partly in Rush and Shelby Counties. Before his death he left a will bequeathing to his slaves the tract of land, the same to come into their possessii n at the death of his wife. The will was so reiorded. After the death of Grafford and hi J wife, their former slaves came to Indiana with the intention of forming a settlement on the land, but soon after their arrival they found that that bitter hatred toward the free Negro existed there as well as in Kentucky. Thev were persecuted and final ly forced to leave the land that justly be longed to them. The wife of Lovel Bass was one of the number. Driven from their home, the ex-slaves soon scattered; white men took possession of the land, and nothing farther was done in the matter until more than a year ago, when Mr. Bass employed an attorney to look after his wife's elaim. The reporter was shown a postal card from a gentleman at llushville, stating that he would pay Mr. Bass a liberal sum for his claim, but it will not be accepted. Ihe land is now improved and is said to be worth $50 an acre. Mr. Bass states that his attorneys are confident of establishing his wife's claim. And thus it is that these old people seem upon the threshold of securing that which will comfort them in their old age. Lake Maxinkuckee. Lake Maxinkuckee, Aug. 2. Having promised to write lrom here I avail the present time after a lovely sail on tho Lake to redeem my promise. So much has been said of the Lake that one imagines it to be nearly as large as Lake Erie or Michigan, but it is a babv lake comDared with those. nevertheles its surroundings are picturesque and pleasant. - As yet. the shore is lined with but few club houses, cottages, etc., but with its present progress it bids fair in a few years te be one of the Hoosier State's favor ite resorts.

Amon? the noteS events of the season there have been several hops given at the Highland View Club House." The music was furnished by Prof. Henry Hart's bend of Indianapolis. The Highland View Club (composed of Indianapolis people) of which Judge Heller is president, has one of the finest views on the Lake. The Club bouse is situated on a very high point from which any part of the .Lake can be seen Henry Hart assisted by J. H.

The race was an even and close one. We have been promised another one this week if weather permits. Misses Stella and Sallie Hart are here trying the Take breeze for their health. People are arriving and leaving every day, and belore the se'ason is over quite a number is expected trom Indianapolis. mnro nnn You will hear from me again, more anon. Tweed Brown's School Policy. Austin II. Brown, one of the leaders of our local Democracy, is the chairman of the bchool Board committee on the appoint ment of teachers, and. with Supt. Tarbell, who is a willing tool, he is slowly but surely carrying out the first principles of Democracy,by weeding the colored teachers out of the schools and placing white teachers of mediocre ability in their places. As a part of their plan, the colored teachers 'have all been removed from school No. 19. These are facts perhaps not gcnerallv known among colored people, but well worth remembering when once known.

Unpleasant Home. There are some houses that are prevaded with a discipline of "Stop that!" or "There, now, don't!" or "If you do that I'll whip you;" The children of these households continually experience a sense of being under arrest, or an apprehension that they may at any moment be arrested. The prinia that of violation of the law. The acquaintI ... ..... ance they have with these parents is much ihe same as they might be expected to have with constables or policemen. It was one of these parents who stopped the festivities of a dinner party from which his children were excluded, by saying to the servant, 4'Go see what those children are dome, and tell them to stop it." It was another who habitually threatened to send her boys to the House of Itefugo for being so bad. These lids were neither better or worte than other boys of their age, and there was no reason whatever why they should be sent to the reformatory institution; yet, 'Going to the House of Kefuge" became a jocose by-word with them, and they would playfully go to the street door, pretending to look for the police to escort them, or the 'Black Maria'' to carry them. The only objects accomplished by such domestic policemen and policewomen as these are the continual worrying of their children and the complete acidulation of their households Children brought up on this continual diet of peevish reproof and quarrelsome rebuke, grow sour and captious anajrntaDie, ana eventually as disagreeable as the parental police who have worried them. No child can have a very holy admiration for such parents; and if the fifth commandment is obeyed at all by a child so circumstanced, tho obedience is compulsory and perf unction ary rather than hearty and spontaneous. Painting: a Stolen Horse. John Dix was arrested and brought to the city Thursday by the Sheriff of Putnam County, who went before the Grand Jury and had him indicted for stealing a horse and buggy froma man in the country named Schmidt.
