FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1808.
ttTW kinl of caucus of alleged ' friends" of Hon. W. A. Traylor who succeeded in compassing his defeat for Jttdflt in 1 '.;, hv the
"unit rule." was held in a back room in Jasper Saturday, the Coi k-
ikr is informed. It is wondered
whom they arc t-ying to lay on the shelf now. Brill. Thky Comk. The time is fatting short before the Dmoerallo county primary will occur. Yet, "while the lamp holds out to burn" any Democrat may take his turn, and find how popular he is with Unpeople. The Cousin this week announces Mr. Alexander EU as a candidate for County Commissioner.
Mr. tJi is one ot the best farmers of
Madison township, being the owner
ot UU acres of its finest real estate, and consequently a large tax-paver. He is 03 years of age. and has lived on his present farm for 55 years, his parents having come direct to it from Baden, and settling on 80 acres, to which he has added 34 acres since he became of age. Raised in a good neighborhood, he has always borne a gvod reputation as an honest and energetic industrious citizen. He has seen the county grow from a sparsely settled regior, inhabited largely by hunters who made a living from the pelts "f bear, deer, wolves, foxes, etc., to
iw present nourishing condition

"On Frida v night last Jasper
seemed to be alive with musical efforts. A company of 20 to 25 boys paraded the principal streets singing for Mike Sweeney. Mr. Frank Kunkel had some violinists drawing the bow for his brother, and a guitar and violin were making music for Philip Dilly. Altogether it seemed to be a miniature imitation of a Tennessee Taylor Cuibanatorial campaign. Following is the song the boys
sung, as near as it could be caught : TA-m- Kl M-BOOM-IH-A. O, I just dropped into town the other day, And there I saw a most an awful looking Jav, I asked a IVkaninny, Who said it was Michael Sweeney, Trying hia lest to sing Ta-ra-mm-boora-de-a. Chorus. When Michael sings Ta-ra-rum-lioom-de-a, It cause all the rent to chew their hay, Pot they tind ut in a n.iriute, That none of them are in it, When Michael sings Ta-ra-ruin-ho jm-de-a. He is running quite a race for Auditor, Against an ll'hurg bloke called Koerina Hut they'll find out any minute That (iustaf isn't in it, When Michael sings Ta-ra-rum-loom-de-a. Chorus.
Some More Observations. FoftTSttVILLI, Feh. is, ';is Editor Coikikk : An article in a
iat week s Coikikk does our t'n an injustice and we think that "Observer" while jM-rhaps bmabIoI well has only observed one ide ot the various questions that he discusses. We are also aware that the editor of a newspaper is not at all interested in these articles hut I
reply to "Observer" is due the many friends of the CoOBIEB and
who ;ire the bet eople in tow n by-
me-way. in the first place "Obser ver" ives hin lf elf awuv when ht
begins his article reu-ardiniz the

and save his own boys from airest, notwithstanding the fact that the got full and rode up and down the streets handling their Winchesters in a very reckless manner, not being very particular in which direction they shot which naturally scared our good women and babys. Our town has a saloon, and soon will have another from all appearance, and we are sorrv of the fact of either. Bat t'.ey aie run tl nearly in Pccoruance with the law as any '.nvwhere. anil the violations

j " e are not a sympathizer with the
saloons but in this case we be'ieve that the saloon keepers are willing, yes even anxious, to oley the letter t a 1 ti i a
oi me law. nut wnen a young man says he is of legal age, and is not, and buys whisky, who is to blame? The question answers itself. Regarding the other proposition he attempts to scoie our tow n on, we have onlv this to sav. Our town has many good people and a few bad ones, but it is safe to say that the people on this side of the river are as good morally as they are on the other side in the state of Daviess. "Observer" is a good reformer, but he should have begun several years ago, and then much closer at home. People living in glass houses should not throw stones. Another Obskkvkk.

Hon I Wwiki "Any one willing to make a home for a large boy, from eleven to iifteen years of age, in reuueeted to w rite The Board ot state Charities, Indianapolis, lad." Kor your information, we will Mjf that our boys huve. as a rule, I en in the orphans1 homes of the State from one t five years each, at an expense of a hundred dollars a year to the county of which he is award. It is time, surely, to
nive these boys a chance to show whether there is anything in them.
In no place can this be better done, as a rule, than on the farms. So we make every effort to locate them in the country. II. S. C.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. Kdited by K. F. Si tiikri.ami, tspstiataaessl ssMt scimoi.
ofThe rules for the government of the Democratic primary election are published on the first page of this paper. It is the last clause of the 5th lule which brought disaster in 1896, and which should be en tirely remodeled by the new committee when hosen, at its first meeting, if it is desired by them to elect in Nov. a Democratic Senator, Representative and Prosecutor in this district. Otherwise Republicans, or indeendent Democrats who will be compelled to make some previous arrangements with Republicans, will almost surely be elected. A majority of Democrats in this district will not permit them
selves to be throttled by a schemeing minority, and it should not be attempted. The lesson had as well be taught this year as at some future time. .Some faii-minded Democrats have also suggt sted that it is a disgrace to any candidate to hold a Bs sition on the committee where he may unjustly further his own pride or ambition, during the conduct of any primary election in which he is a candidate, and that the committee should at its meeting adopt a rule to that effect to govern such primaries in the future. Too much under-handed cut-and-dried work,
savors of the methods adopt d by the Renublicina to commit the crime of 1H7: against the producing classes, and will not go down. Retter avoid the breakers. tiTThe public schools of Jasper had s vacation of a day Tuesday, on account of Washington's birth-day.

We are pleased to anuounce, so
far as we have canvassed, that the
public schools of Dubois County
are doing excellent work this vear.
The teachers, generally, seem to be
well pleased with their own ift'orts
and the efforts of their pupils.
Our own Indiana University, so
th?T S&v. has chauel exercises onlv
once u week, and then some noted minister discourses before the stu dents on some suitable subject. The Southern I diana Teachers' Association will be held in Torre Haute, March 24 20. An excellent meeting is expected. Half fare will be given on all rai'roaJs in this section of the State, and cheap entertainment provided or all guest at T.rre Haute. The City Public Schools will be open to visitors until Thursday at I o'clock, p. ni., and the Rose Polytechnic Institute and shops in connection therewith throughout the session. Supt. Wm. H. Wiley, of Terre Haute Public Schools, is chairman of the financial conimitee. Ex-teachers may become associate members of the Association y paying a membership fee of 25 cents. Persons who anticipate attending the State Normal School at Tene
Haute this Spring should bear well
in mind that no one can enter there
who does not hold a 24 months'
license or who is not a graduate of
a commirsioned High School. To
all who are thus barred the place to
attend school is your commissioned
high school, and receive credits that
will count for you in the State Nor mal at a future time.
The subject of school libraries can not receive too great attention
in our public schools and especially in our high schools. No factor will will broaden pupils so much as a reference and general library of the best and most carefully selected books. Every home can not offer
to its children the advantages of the library, and many a hungry mind must go starved in conwequenee. The school can offer such advantages IK it will, and it should do it. It is a public duty to tit every child for the broadest usefulness and for the best citizenship. Jaspkk School N tks. The new circular, announcing the complete line of work for the Dubois County Normal, and the faculty, will be out this week. We have secured the services of Prof. Thomas Jackson, one of the finest penman in Indiana, a graduate of Michael's Business College at Lcgansport, and formerly a teacher in that institution, to give a spkcial
tii kick wkkks coi KSK in penmanship and penwoik, beginning the
first day of the Dubois County Nor
mal school. This course is free to
all students. Prof. Jackson will
teach shorthand and typewriting if
there is sufficient demand for these
branches.
Mr Yates will keep lady board
ers during the Nonnil. Call on
her.
Supt. (ieo. R. Wilson will give
some spkciai Tree ork in Mensuration in Arithmetic, and in Survey
ing during the Normal, all for the
great benefit of the students.
Miss Wilson is holding special ex
aminations this week.
Mrs. (iutgsell had some fine
