THE BRAVEST SAILOR OF ALL. I know a naval officer, the bravest fighting man; He wears a jaunty sailor suit, his cap says “Puritan.” And all day long he sails a ship between our land and Spain, And he avenges, every hour the martyrs of the Maine. His warship is six ihches square, a washtub ser v es for ocean; But never yet, on any coast, was seen such dire commotion. With one skilled move his boat is sent from Cuba to midsea, And just as quickly back it comes to set Havana free. He fights with Dewey: plants bis flag upon each island’s shore, Then off with Sampson's fleet he goes to shed the Spanish gore. He comes to guard New England's coast, but ere his anchor falls, a He hurries off in frightful speed, to shell Manilla's walls. The Phillippinesso frequently have yielded to his power. There’s very little left of them, I'm certain, at this hour; And when at last he falls asleep, it Is to wake again And hasten into troubled seas and go and conquer Spain. —Ella Wheeler \Vilcox, in New York Herald.

Perhaps the Kind of Hair Sent.

Republican: It seems that a few of the ladies who gave their loose hair to the hair tonic women, did get back switches, after all, as C. O» Warner’s collection of the tonic has also been embellished with a number of “switches.” They are frightful looking things and instead of being made of hair, are made of some kind of fibrous substance, like flax, or sea moss. Judy and The Lief Buggy Co., will sell anything in their line to you individually, independently of any one else as security.

ELECTRIC RAILROAD AGAIN.

Winamac Starts a New Project. Winamac people have grown tired of uncertainties and are now going to work to enlist the people all along the line from Rochester to Rensselaer in the construction of an electric railway to connect these two cities and to touch Francesville, Winamac and Kewanna with possibly Pulaski. A preliminary meeting was held at the Sheriff’s office Tuesday afternoon over which Judge Burson presided at which a committee composed of Messrs. J. J. Gorrell, 0. E. Newton and J. R. Dukes were appointed to correspond with the various places mentioned and solicit an attendance at a meeting to be held Tuesday; afternoon, July 19th, to endeavor to organize for business. It is the aim to interest everybody along the entire projected line and make it a matter of mutual benefit instead of a money making scheme for a few speculators. Everyone concedes that such a railway is badly needed to expedite business in this section of country and capital can easily be interested in its construction if the right-of-way be once secured. Enough is known of the general topography of the country to ’heed no preliminary survey. The only thing necessary will be to say where the line shall run and then proceed to take up right-of-way. After this has been secured then interest the capital and let the surveyors go out and make up the profiles and working plans for the constructors. The sooner a working company can be organized the sooner this work of soliciting right-of-way can commence. —Winamac Republican.

Big Suit Against the Monon.

Accotding to a special from Crowh Point, John and Barringer Brown, of that city, two of the largest ranch owners in the Kankakee valley, have filed a $50,000 damage suit in the Lake Circuit Court against the Monon Railroad Company, claiming that the big fire which burned over one thousand acres of their land last fall was started by. a spark from an engine on their line. Should the Browns be successful in their suit, it is said several other ranch owners will file similiar proceedings.

The Washington Post, one of the most conservative newspapers in the United States, did a most unusual thing in devoting an editorial to the Wallace circus, which came to Washington unknown and went away with an established reputation. In part the Post said: “The Great Wallace Show represents all that there is of legitimate worth in the circus business. It is in charge of men who aspire to elevate the tone and purify the atmosphere of the calling, and we believe thousands who have attended the performances during the past two days will certify they have succeeded. Not only was the performance up to the highest professional and artistic standard, the menagerie large and varied, and the trained animals of the best, but there was not in connection with the Wallace show a single one of those discreditable and demoralizing features which have done so much to give the circus a bad name and to discourage the true friends of that otherwise wholesome form of amusement. The managers of the Wallace Show keep all their promises, advertise nothing they do not expect to give, and carefully divest their performances of anything and everything calculated to offend the nicest taste. We are sure that the verdict of Washington will be most favorable and that the show can return to us sure of finding genuine admirers and friends.” At Rensselaer Wednesday, Aug. 3d.
