About 8 o'clock Friday night some miserable wretch that is allowed to live m a respectible community, maliciously cut open the pneumatic tubes ot Mr. K. K.

JJicycle owners should be on the lookout for this pneumatic, Jack the Kipper. commi:nicati:d. 'There is a great deal of talk among our citizens in regard to the peti ions vs. saloons which are being circulated. It lias only been a few months since a petition was circulated by the same persons who are now circulating them, for the purpose of raising the city license to the full limit of the city ordinance. It was previously to that time .-?Tö.UÜ but the pe' ition being successful caused it to he raised to j?I00.00 which places our town on equal footing with our neighboring towns of this comity; which -are incort crated. At Riemen ihe license cost slöü.OO, Argos siöü.tx) and Fl; mouth 175.oa The state tax of Hu and government tax S2Ö.IH.) being additional. At the time the petition was being ciiculated, one of the circulators was a iked whv he i i wished the ci y l:eense raised; arid he said "if he had to sell out to the devil j at all, he wanted to sell for the lushest I i pr;ee." N'ow that remark does not go j hand in hand with the present circa-i l itir.gof petitions for if tin license is knocked out, each salo:i will be run as a quart bhop, and every one knows what that is, it is live times worse than a regul tr licensed saloou, there being no specified time for their opening or closing, but most of all they pay nothing into our city treasury, therefore these peopie that wanted to sell for the highest price only, a short, time ago, will now give themselves away, and have besides more free with liquor, open all hours and sell to anybody except Indian?, saloons than ever before. Now more than the moral part of this, let us see what becomes of this money paid into our city treasure for saloon license w hich w ith our three saloons, amounts to 150. Thi-5 money is paid to our city treasure and by him is paid over the full amount to the treasury of the school board and is used directly for school purposes pretaining to our city schools. Immediately after raising the city license a few months since, thereby placing into our sehend fun! an ex4-i our school board continued school one month giving us nine months school, where before we had only eight months school. Now if we have no license money forth-coming, we will be just $225 short of funds for our eight months term; this $223 will have to be made up by an increase in our tax or have one month school less. It is also remarkable to notice the inconsistency of some of these circulators. The most of them are saying that "If you don't sign our petition, you will be classed as a saloon bum, and more than that, the temperance people will boycott you and won't nave anything to do with you." These threats and saying hve kept a great many good names oil of tha petition, and of people who are as mwSix in favor of temperance and everything else pretaining to the good of the public as any name that is now on the petition. Uy the way we are told that one of the most earnest solictors, while enjoying himself at the World's Fjiir could not find a beer schooner large enough to suit him even the German mugs seemed small, but when this man is at home he is most awfully interested in every thing relating to temperance work. latin Coiicliiiv.

Nelson Burr, of Batavia, III., is making his periodical visit to this vicinltv. lie owns 'wo farms south-east of town, and is here supervising them for a few days. Grandma Harsh, who has been visiting relatives in Fulton county during the past two weeks returned home last Friday, accompanied by a nephew, who remained over Sunday. The reading circle that w as organized about six weeks ago has failed as et to have a meeting. There has always been something to keep the members from meeting. Verily it seems the immortal gods are working against it. Mr. Isaac C. Gray and Miss Mollie Shoemaker were united in marriage last Saturday evening by Squire Jordan ani the boys gave them a grand belling. We can only unite with the rest in wishing them a prosperous voage across life's sea. Word was received from Martin A Dilley who is in Barron county Wis., stating that he has killed twodeers and will biing them along home with him. He expects to arrive next Wednesday, and if he brings the meat of the two deers along and distributes it among the people here, we nny look for some funny actions out of the people in the next few days. lie says the only objection he has of the country there, is, that they have too much to eat and a person is liable to founder himself before he knows it. On Sunday morning of last week as Gabe Mitchell and Frank Morris were out hunting, the gun t'.at Mitchell w as carrying was discharged while he was standing on the fence and holding his right hand over tne gun, the discharge passing through the ileshy part of his hand. Dr. Kley was called and dressed the wound and on Tuesday Dr. Fdison, of Bourbon and Dr. Fley removed the index finger. Mr. Mitchell is feeling better and hopes to have the use of his hand. The accident falls heavily on Mr. Mitchell as he is a poor man depending upon his daily labor for the support of his family, consisting of himself, w ife and four children. The wedding bells are heard and another happy couple have been united in the holy bond of matrimony and to hare each others sorrows and joys of this life together. Herbert Laird and Anna F. Bates were quietly married Saturday evening, November 1C, at the residence of the brides parents. Bev. Breckenridge of the First l'resb lerian church of Bourbon otliciating. Mr. Laird is one of Tip township, teachers of yeais experience and had has shown his ability as teacher often in dealing with incorngeable schools ami pupils. He enjoys the good will of a host of fiiends who wish him complete happiness in his future sail over life's sea. Miss Bates is one of Bourbon township's most estimable young ladies and a daughter of Mr. -.nd Mrs. William Bates. She ha- u.ways enjoyed the friendship of a large circle of friends. They t ill make their future home in Ilion in the cosy new house build on Fast Main street. May their lives be one of happiness, moved by the saeredness of the union into winch they have entered each completing the others life as they learn to live, at the close may He, who sees our lives say "well done," is the wish of their many friends. ARGOS AND VICINITY. Nov. 20, 1810. At the opera house to-night, Walter ('row the lloosier violinist. J. (.'. iA.tVi.y was very much :.urprised Monday evening, by a surprise party of friends. K. Hedges of Rochester, was in our city Monday. II. (i. Kenney, of Tiosa, was in our city on business Monday. M. F. Borset is agent at the L. F. & W. depot during Dobenspecks absence. Win. Hagenbush is selling his grocery to Wm. Shopper. A Dizzy Position. "Quite a laughable occurrence to k place in the F., 1). & E. yards at Mattoon, 111. Tuesday, says an exchange. A box car got its load and was run in (on the switch). It had been to a wedding on the side track, two cars having been coupled. The switch engine got to running wild during the melee and got its tank full, which so exasperated the yardmaster that he had it switched. The freight engine was looking on and so far forgot herself as to the rules and regulations of the company, that she was reported for smoking on duty. This made the headlight mad and it went out. The wheels being friends of the headlight, left the track, as they would not have anv truck with the crew. The turn-table got dizzy and kept going around. The lady-like lank got so excited that she lost her hoops. The engineer was called to quiet the disorder and on taking a hasty survey of the situation linked them all together and ran them out of town, the engine being the envy of all the ladies in the city on account of her long train."

Bremen. Bremen, Nov., 19, 18U5. Ed Henry is on the sick list. Clyde Coverston was visiting at Walkerton Monday. The inclement weather has somewhat retarded the work on the foundry. (.'has.

Mrs. Jacob Carver returned Saturday morning from Milwaukee, Wis., to which place she had been called by the death of her brother Thomas Graves who died at the soldiers home at that place. Mr. Graves will be remembered as the invalid who spent last winter at the home of his sister at this place. Erwin Fisher and Fred Newman, returned Saturday evening from Mason, Michigan, to which place they had went to purchase a fast horse. They brought with them a beautiful twoyear old known as Cora Ru sei. The colt is said to have very line breeding; tho sire being a full brother to Maud S, and the dame lias a record of 2.28. Fisher ami Newman have been h iving their hands full, showing their horse to their many friends und other admirers of fast stock ever since they have returned. From the evidence taken at the coroners inquiry into the killing of George Snyder on Monday, it is thought that the coroner will more than likely give a verdict of accidental death by being struck by a locomotive caused by tho victim's hard hearing, as tins was clearly shown by the evidence. After the accident had occurred the body was taken to John II nil's undertaking rooms where they were promptly taken care cf and the corpse put in a shape to be viewed. The funeral services was held at the German Fvnnrrel'"i! ch'irch in this place Wednesday it 2 p. m., and the remains were interred in the cemetery north of town, lie was aged 81 years, and leaves liye daughters and two sons, besides many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

November 20, 1803. Miss Carrie Linville, who is employed at South Bend, spent Sunday with her parents. The protracted meetings at the county line church will be continued another week.

The sick list for the past week as far as could be obtained are: Henry Shirk, Miss Maud Frosham, Sol Tuesinger, Mrs. Sam Burger and M. W. Crura. The life of another cat was given up to the desecting table for the advancement of knowledge. This will of courss be another shock to those of contracted minds. An oratorical contest takes place to night at Johnson's hall. It is no soft galore contest, but one that is for bloodThe music will be furnished by our best public singers. Our up-to-date milliner, Mrs. (Jeo Peake, has, with the artistic assistance of M'ss Jennie Raymond, of South Bend, put her stock ot head wear beyond competion. Hon. II. (i. Yhayer will deliver one of his entertaining lectures at the M. E church next Sunday evening, on the Holy Land. Everybody should hear him upon this interesting subject. Some of our crack ( y marksmen were out rabbit hunting Sunday. From the amount of game they got, it seems all that is necessary is to shut your eyes and blaze away and get a rabbit. Alvin White has taken a position with the Kimball Piano Co., which necessitates his changing headquarters to Warsaw' for the winter. He will be greatly missed at all of our musical gatherings. Mrs. T. J. Harnes, escaped what might have been a serious accident a few days ago, wliile returning from a meeting at the county line church. Her horse became unmanagable, causing her to make a sudden stop, which caused a closely following wagon to crowd into her. Luckily she only re"ceived a few severe bruises. DUNN TEMPERANCE MEETING. Noin' Noli--t aiiil s ftiiiny; Admit the Work or this Notable Worker. Interest in Dunn's gospel temperance meetings is quickening and broadening anil the meetings in V. M. C. A. hall promise to be very successful. The ad i dress last night was one of rare interest j to people of all classes and c :iditions j and the work is being commented upon l. .. t . :.. ..it - .. ..l . f a i i u pcupie in an iui is oi me cuy io-uay. Many who have been present at these ineeliu'is have pronounced the speaker the best they have ever heard on any subject While there is not lacking in h:s speeches touches of the occasional humor his audiences are, by his more serious efToits, literally spellbound as by the magic of a master tragedian. He has been warmly endorsed by the press of many cities from which the following quotations may ce of interest. Peoria Transcript: -We don't agree with all the man says about moderate drinking and the saloon but th re is no denying his earnestness and pover. He exercises a wonderful iniluencj over his ! hearers. Not merely siirs their liearis by his hot appeals, but pierces their understanding with his arguments. Be was needed in i'eoria. Bichmond (Ind.) Palladium: Phillips' Opera house was packed again last night. It is surprising that the people should turn out every night for weeks to hear this man discourse on the time and tongue-worn subject. About 2,000 have signed the total abstinence pledge, and hundreds of them were hard drinkers. He can be most eloquent, and often is, but no one will doubt after hearing him that he is awfully in earnent. Denver Col. News: The Dunn temperance meeting was moved from Tom Uzzells Tabernacle yesterday to the big Coliseum. The immense crowd sat perfectly still for an hour listening to the warm glowing eloquence of this really remarkable speaker. His power is in his earnestneis. lie believes in the goodness of his cause with all his heart and soul, and that kind ol thing is as contagious as a fever. These meetings will be continued in the Y. M. C. A. hall until further notice and those who have the matter in charge extend a cordial invitation to everybody to come and witness this work whether actively interested or not. Admission is free. At Frankford yesterday morning William Bossman, engineer at Adams Brothers' hoop works, had a narrow escape. While oiling the line shaft his clothing was caught and his body was soon being thrown about the shaft. When help reached him every stitch of clothing had been torn from him, and he was picked up from the floor badly bruised, but not dangerously injured. About 70 boarders in No. 1 mine, belonging to the Brazil Black Coal Co., at Brazil, Ind., refused to reurn to work yesterday morning because the operators refused to accede to their demand for 43 cents a ton for loading. Tho operators according to the scale have been paying 25 cents a ton. It is thought that tho trouble will be soon settled.
