It is under laid with a line quality of Kctni-hlocK coal, easily mined by drift ing into any of the hilla surrounding it. For steam purposes the pea coal from these mine in delivered anywhere in the town at fifty cents a ton, and is practically inexhaustible, lump coal ia fur nished in the coal house or bin, at anv place in town, at from tl.30 to 91 75 a ion, according in quanuiy uesiren. The county gets ita coal delivered for use in the court house and jail at $1.18$ a ton. It la surrounded by a flue body of timber, of all kiuds indigenous to the latitude. Patoka river akirts the south and east sides of the town, and furnishes a never failing supply of water for manufactories along ita banks. Good soft water ia obtained in abundance (or domestic Hues any place in the town at a depth of from 20 to 30 feet. A fine quality of good building gray sand-stone ia quarried near the town. This stone has demonstrated its excellence by standing good for over 50 years the severe teat of freezes and thaws in the pier of a bridge across Patoka river. House pattorna of good brick are delivered at 15 to $5 50 per 1,000, and smaller quantities at a slight advance, and building lumber, rough, at f 15 per 1.000 feet; surfaced and seasoned at i-0 to $30 per 1.000, as to quality. The community is a liberal and intelU gent one: with handsome and commo dious Catholic and Metbodiat churches, and good public schools, and citizens, without exception, heartily welcome all new business enterprises. It is the northern terminous of the .Tapper and Evansville division of the L., E.ft St. L. Ity. and has three traius each way per day. The town has IS manafacturing establishments using steam power, embracing 2 steam flour mills, 3 planing mill6, 2 aaw mills, 1 spoke factory, 1 stave and shingle factory, t furniture factory, 1 hrewerv. 1 machine shop, 4 wagon factories, and 2 brick-yards, which did s business last year aggregatinr over f 275,000. It has three large well-stocked drr goods and general stores, and 9 smaller ones, 4 grocery stores, none of them extensive, 4 confectionaries, 3 shoe -hops, a good photograph gallery, 3 book torc, 3 drug stores, 4 hotels, 2 printing offices, I tatc bank, 3 livery stables, and several other branches of business, all doing well, and 2 building associations of 1100,000 and $50,000 capital respectively. To persona who are seeking an investment for capital in manufacturing enterprises of any kind, and have skill and in dustry to apply to their business, Jasper presents rare Inducements, and her citizens will extend a hearty welcome. Among the branches of business which ought to be established here and would certainly pay, area woolen mill, a small foundry, a large fruit connery, a good butter, and cheese dairy, a tiling factory, a handle factory, a good broom factory, a good pottery, a general produce dealer, who would pay cash for farm produce of all kinds In any quantity; another flour mill might possibly be made to pay, also, ae over 50,000 bushels of wheat were shipped from Jasper last year which it seems to us might have been made Into flour here with profit, and the manufactured products shipped. It la probable, too, that a merchant with sufficient capital to carry a good stock of any single line of goods, would be able by his larger assortment of that line, and consequent lower purchases, to secure enough trade from the general stores abounding in the country to make it profitable but this would he an experiment, while the others may be counted as certainties. At all events, if you are seeking a location, come and be one of us. aawMR i l aMfc i i THE SILK BUG. Nearly All of the Early Planted Cora Kulned ly the Little Pests.

U. 8. Atty. Cockrum' BltiNder! How are yon, Poker Players? F.vannvllle Courier. The sporting fraternity and hec in of mjm, nopdJrln, oll u hec" ,n 8,Rt8 of mind bordering on unto My panic for the peat, iwotiaya, The cause or u aiua ino presonce here of Assistant Diatrict Attornpy of the Kedpral court, Mr. John II. Cock rum. Ordinarily this fresh jnuiig man would not make a ripple on the culm surface of society. Hut he came down from Indianapolis with a flourish ot trumpets and the declaration that he wan loaded. The amuuition it seems, takes the form of an alleged confession from young Denny, who robbed the poatoffica at Boonville of several thousand dollars, completely bankrupting Postmaster bwint. I he contessgion gives the names of between fifty aud one hundred citizens of Evannville, em bracing all classes, from the wily fakir up through the grades of gamblers, business men, professional men, to unctioua deacons of the church. It is as if a drag net bad been thrown out to catch in ita meshes every person who has been known to play cards for boodle during the past five years. Itia given out by Mr. uockrum that tins young 1'ostoffice thief has declared that etch one of the persons mentioned by him In the al leged confession, have at dinerent times won money from him. He seems to have kept bis books against the men he accuses as carelessly as he kept the books of the Roonvllle Postnffice, for he disdains details. lie docs not say how much this one and how much that one beat him out of by superior playing. He simply lumps the whole business. In etlect. he puts it in this way : "I robbed, the Boonville Postofflce of $7,000 in round numbers; citiseHi of Evansville I have named won Irom me at poker $7,(KX) in round numbers." Ho is careful to include a inajorltv of responsible and respectable citizens in this listand armed with this document Assistant United States District Attorney Cock rum s here to demand restitution. Two In stances reported to The Courier yester dav bv gentlemen whost names were on the list Illustrate several oiner mat pave been reported to The Courier secondhanded. To one of these gentlemen be said : "We have no desire to make an exposure and we suppose you do sot de aire publicity yourself." - This gentleman was so cerNTn that he bad not played poker with Denny or nnv body else that be declined to be frightened by the covert threat. To the other gentleman Mr. Cock rum said How much now arn you willing to con tribute towards making up the mouev (bat has been won from Denny here?' This gentleman was also certain that he bad not played with Denny or any body else, and replied hotly : ' Not one single coituer." Mr. Cock rum's procedure in this mat ter has been as remarkable for ita lack of intelligence as for its perfect contempt for the proprieties, to use no harsher terms. To arraign fifty to a hundred ol our most reputauie ciuzens upon inr a . .a so e testimony of a confessed thief, as gamblers and law breakers is bad enough. Rut to employ the same meth oda in using that testimony common to blackmailers is quite the most extraonn narv thing that Mr. Cock rum has done since the beginning nt his oraclal career If the functions of his office require him to compel restitution of the money which this voung truer alleges was won irom him bv the gentlemen he names, by what law or precedent does he place himself in the attitude or compounding a rotsae meanor in hia efforts to compromise? If be has any official duty in the case, is it not to proceed against these wrong doers according to law? Will Assistant I) strict United states Attorney Cockrum cite the statute which authorizes him to accept money under threats of ex posure, from men accused by a self-con tested thief, the only affiant in the case. of an offense against the laws or the Slate ef Indiana Even man who won money from Denny should pay back every dollar be won, voluntarily, or ir ue retuses, ana there is a law for it, the courts should compel htm to make restitution. Rut when an officer of the Federal Govern ment flourishes the affidavit of a thief under the noaes of reputable citizens and demands of them money or "exposure," not justice mind you -he does an act which lowers the standard oi omciai character and invites contempt for the aw he is sworn to execute. The two gentlemen referred to above gave The Courier to understand mat untesa thev came down their names would be published. Speaking for Thk Courier it will inform Mr. Cockrum that it has had experience enough to know that when the character of rep utable citlzene is assailed there must be other testimony than that of a self-con fessed thiei to juitify publieatlsa er iae charges. RvaMvllle Journal Another man. who hat attained much distinction of a National character, and who alto has a fascination for the green cloth and pasteboards, is another upon the list or "suspects." ue was interviewed last evening and exprmad him self ia about thlt language : "Denny was a high roller a caremi nlavar and a pretty sure winner. I met him in a gambling house for the first, e time tome eight years ago, and he play

ed a good game at that time. I have gotilan IWIway for WO.OOe poandt ttarplays with kim freqtiHtiy since, hut Ming, f Dundee, Sootlind parties.

''Denny did) Why. became a straight out gambler. whom I hare no reason to doubt, told me come months ago that be had spent 'three weeks in Doonville and in that time had been playing Oennv for a suck er, winning $2000 or $3,000 from him. (citing as much aa he thought he ought to take without stirring up trouble, tit i rambler told me be telegraphed to Louisville to a 'friend' to come to Boon villa and relieve him, and the friend did come and was introduced into the game rteforf iIip Evansville man pulled nut, I don't believe the matter will get into the court, although if it doei it will be because a few timid men have been frightened into giving themselves. I'm not worried, because 1 believe the whole business is a bluft." Denny's bpiriesnets and dishonesty has .ruined Mr. Swint financially, and wilb poor health and anythiug but a bright future pictured out ia It any won der he is detPi'tni'iod to make some of our gamblers aweat? Mr. swint and His bondsmen nave bees at work on the case for a week or more, and claim to know just what they are doing, and the fact that the gambling traternity and many others are very much worried gives color to the rumor that there is something in the wind. Uncle Sam's connection with the affair also has a depressing; effect on the "gang." Ingersoll on Intemperance. The following is an extract from a fa mous spech of Col. It. G. iHgersoll to a jury in Chicago: "l am aware mat inert is a prejudice against any man eugaged in the manu facture of alcohol. 1 believe that from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the hell of death and dis honor and crime, it demoralizes everybody that touches it from its source to where it ends. I do not believe that anybody can contemplate the object without becoming prejudiced against the liquor crime. All we have todo, gentle men, ia to think of the wrecks on eilhei bank of the at ream of death, of the suicides, of the Insanity, of the poverty, of the ignorance, of the destitution, of the little children tugging at the faded and withered breast, ot weeping and dispair lug wivesasking for bread, of the men of genius that it has wrecked, the men struggling with imaginary serpents, pro duced by the devilish thing; and when you think ol the jails, of the almshouses, of the asylums, of the prisons, of the scaffolds on either bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced Hgainat this damned stuff that la called alcohol. Intemperance cuts down youth in its strength, and age in its weakness. It breaks the father's heart, bereaves the doting mother, extinguishes natural af fection, erases conjugal love, blots out filial attachment, blights parental hope and brings down mourning age in sor row to the grave. It produces weak nesa not strength; sickness not health: death not life. It makes wives widowe ; children orphans: fathers fiends; and all of them paupers and beggars. It teeds rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, invites cholera, imports pee tilence, and embraces consumption. It covers the land with idleness, misery and crime. It fills your jails, supplies yotir almshouses and demands your aay lums. It engenders controversies, foa ters quarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds your penitentiaries and furnishes victims to your scaffolds. It is the life and blood of the gambler, the elements of the burglar, the prop of highwaymen, and the support of the midnight incen diary. It countenances the liar, respects the thief and esteems the blasphemer. It violates obligations, reverences fraud and honors infamy. It defames benev olence. bates love, scorns virtue and slanders innocence. It Incites the father to butcher his helpless offspring, helps the husband (o massacre his wife and child to grind the paricldal ax, It burns up men, consumes women, detests life, curses uod and despises heaven. It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, defiles the jury nor and stains the judicial er mine It degrades the citizen, debases the legislator, dishonors statesmen and lisarmi lbs patriot. It brings shame, not honor: misery, not happiness; ter ror, not safety ; despair, not hope; and with the malevolence of a need it calm ly surveys its frightful desolation, and unsatiated with the havoc, it poisons feli city, it kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, Slavs reputation ana wipes out national honor, then eurset the world and laughs at its ruin. It does all this and more -it murders the soul. It is the sum of all villainies, the father of all crimes, the mother of abomination, the devil s best friend ana uoa s worst enemy."

A BOSTON ESK ROMAN CE.

The Simple rh1 Bee.Htlftti Lhhgunge or Love Amork the Cul tured. Cbktjce Tribune. "Will this-tbls disappointment y modification of your plans for the future, Osgoodson r said the young girl, softly, as she wiped her spectacles, replaced them with care, and looked through them Inaregretiul.sym nathizing, almost tender manner at the downcast youth. "My plans?" he replied, drearily. "What are plans to me? Who polyhonizes to me of plans? The answer you have just given me reduces to irremedi able chaos every nascent incohative desigh projected by the stereopticon of earnest purpose on the screen of mental receptivity." A shadow of pain flitted across the brow of the young woman. From where she stood, on the inside of a gate in the rear of one of Boston's noblest mansions, she looked out over the common, where light-hearted but mature children were playing in the decorous, thoughtful, cultured manner peculiar to the Boston child, and a feellug of pltv for the young man who stood on the other side or the gate and leaned oa the post stirred her tout. "Surely, Osgoodson,'' the sal J, "there are other " "Waldonia Fields-James !" be exclaimed impetuously, "to the man who has cherished in bis bosom for years the image of one whole to blm the ideal and embodiment of all that ia subjectively congenial and metaphysically apropos, as it were, the, crushing forever of his hope of being regarded reciprocally by the living, breathing reality of his cher ished eidolon shatters his mental perspective and obliterates every semblance of the horizon that once bounded his speculative firmament." " While that may be indisputable, Os goodson," rejoined the young woman, there are otber aspects in which we should view ibe subject. The stations in life we both occupy are huabte, in the sciolistic and fallacious judgment ot the -world, but there is no reason why the outcome of this misguided preference of yours should lead you recklessly to abandon your calling. It is true that I shall remain in this family, ia the faithful performance of the duties that de volve upon tne, but you will be accustomed in time, I trust, to the daily sight of one whom you mistakenly looked up on as the arbiter of your happiness, and tranquility wi I come to vou." "I misunderstood, you, Waldonia," said the young man. "When you asked me if this decision of yours would make any change in my plans for the future I Imagined you alluded to my entertain ing a preference for any other young lady. I shall make no change in my oc cupation, Waldonia" he added dejected ly, as he turned to go. "1 expect to drive this milk wagoa all summer, just the same." Mr. Harrison's administration has dis covered that a surplus ia not so very easily handled, after all. Before tbe late election any cross-roads republican statesman could tell you how to dispose of It without the least trouble, and tbe grandson tossed tbe problem aside with the statement that he would buy bonds with the money. The opportunity is given, but the bonds are not bought. In a recent interview Secy. Wladom ex plains tbe inaction thus: "Tbe price we have established (for bonds) Is a liberal one, and on tbe bonds tbe holders are only getting about 3 per cent, while on tbe four and a halfs the interest ia only a trifle over li. Yet there is no great alacrity shown by the holders of these bonds to sell them to the government and convert them into cash. It is true that tbe people who hold bonds are aot the people who want money. Rut what can I do? We dare not go to work and offer a price far in excess of their value, so as to induce peo pie to tell their bunds to tne govern meat." Exactly. That is what Mr. Cleveland said also, and every loyal republican hastened to denounce it at nonesente. Here is another misrepresentation of tbe campaign exposed and acknowledged In the nrst six months of Mr. Harrison's administration. Here is another pledge of the republican party broken and abandoned. The history of popular government does not afford another such ex ample of confessions by the successful party that the defeated party was right, as has been given in tne past tlx months, and is being given to-day.

On the Taritr question they say : "We demand sueb a revision of the tariff as will lav the heaviest harden on the luxuries and the lightest oa the n se es series of life, and as will reduce the in come from Imports to a strictly rertene basis." They then wind hp their nrocoodissra with the following clincher: "lCeeoived.

Evansville Courier. - ama.o-a-mmtaaaaw-M-Corporal Tanaer'e Insult. Evantville CoarUr. The most disgraceful and Insetting sen timent ever uttered before sh American audience, was that of Commissioner of Pensions, Corporal James Tanner, when he said on Thursday in the Grand Army encampment at Milwaukee : "I tell you, comrades, this $12 a month, small at it may teem, will often preserve the vir tue or some dead comrade's widow. The sentiment was met with a genuine bowl of indignation, and the blackguard and slanderer of his country-women was denounced in the most fiery terms by a score of outraged speakers. A retaintioa was finally passed expunging the whole speech from the record, and the report was suppressed by the Associated Press, but it leaked out through special correspondents, and Is to-day the tebjeet of Indignant discussion throughout the country. Is it not degrading that anon a man as Tanner should bs kept la Kfice? Constable Newton arrested Taylor Boylee at BIrdstye, Dubois county, on a charge of carrying concealad weapons, and kindly took the prisoner to his home to procure bail, taking the precaution, however, to tie Boyle's legs together under tbe horse he rode. Arrived at the.: prisoner's home, Boyles' sister secretly, handed him a razor and in a twinkle he' cut his bonds and leaped from his horse. Officer Newton dismounted and grap-. pied with his prisoner, but isoyiet soon cut himself loose and escaped, leaving Newton freely bleeding from two bad cuts ia the right arm. Boyles it still at large. N. A. Ledger.
