The Democrat nominated Joe Stubblefield several weeks ago, and the | Republican convention ratified it Saturday. Work in the eonutry is going ou in full blast. There were but comparatively few people in town, Saturday, in consequence. Rock port is building wafer works, with a capacity of 1.000,000 gallons per day.

Frank bought for his Mammoth Store, 1,982 yards of good Lawn, which is now being sold twelve yards for $0 cents, at that popular establishment. Arrangements are being made for the holding of a grand celebration at this place on the 3rd of July. Let every one donate something and make the a flair a grand success. While attending recent auction sales in New York, Gns Frank bought a large lot of Bed Comforts, which are now arriving and will bo sold at whole sale prices, at his Mammoth Store.

Evansville and Indianapolis are worried, about the cow, whose freedom of the city gives the citizens great annoyance. So you see othei cities have their drawbacks, as well as Petersburg. The new stock of white goods of more than 100 pieces, selling from G>^ j cents upward, mcertain!v the cheapest j ever known in the state. For low prices Gns Frank's Mammoth Store takes the lead. A man who never told a lie, a woman whose tongne never got the betterof her judgement, and a man who can publish a newspaper to suit everybody, are the three curiosities that Barnum would give a million dollars to secure for his exhibition. The English Hotel, at Indianapolis, under the management of Messrs. Morgan & Rosscter, is, we are glad to say, prospering, which their many friends in this part of the State will be pleased to hear. Their patronage is not exceeded by any hotel in the

city. T A well-informed farmer and wheat buyer said to as last week, says the Princeton Democrat, that if he was a betting man, he would bet that the price of wheat would bo higher after harvest than ft*is now. That there will not be near as large a crop as is anticipated. People who raise cabbage are often greatly annoyed by the inroads of the cabbage worms. Buckwheat flour is said to be sure death to these worms. It is a simple remedy and worth a trial. Let all who are- interested iu cabbage culture remember this and give it a trial. “How do yon sell those bustlos’’ asked a lady of Will Hudson, of the firm of Montgomery & Hudson, the other day. He looked in the direction indicated, then blushed clear to the roots of his hair as he explained to the lady that they Were not wire bustles but base ball masks. Ezekial Blair, charged with assault and battery with intent to murder Benj. F. Lasswetl, had a preliminary examination alt Pikeville Saturday and was recognized to appear at the Pike Circuit Court; bond, $300. This case is the result ot a quarrel between the above-named parties. Prominent Democrats met at Winslow Saturday afternoon, and disscussed county politics. The unanimous opinion is that the ticket chosen next Saturday will defeat the coalition ticket. AU Democrats were in the best of humor and confident of success at the coming election. Nothing can be had so cheaply to enhance the value of y>. ur property as good sidewalks, and shade trees, a neat fence and a clean yard. It makes a down attractive and is quickly noticed by strangers. This is the season of the year to look after all these matters and it should be done at once. Last Monday Merchant Post No. 15, G. A. R., decorated tht^^w-es of the soldiers in the cetf^Mpand the grave-yards adjacent to town. It is a proper tribute r<f respect to the services and sacrifices of those brave boys who marched forth at their country's eall to face the missiles of death in defense of the flag aud for the preservation; of our oountry. The sales in GrUs Frank’s carpet department have been so unusually large tills season that he is now receiving auother immense stock in that line, aud on account of it being near mid-summer, New York carpet houses sold these goods at greatly reduced price* t Best Body Brussels with borders to match formerly sold at $1,50 now only $1.10.

AN ATTEMPT TO KILL A Well-Known Citizen of Pike. C»jt. TV. E. Chappell Narrowly Escapes Belas FUled With Shot.

One of the most dastardly and damnable attempts to take human life was made last Saturday night. Between uine and ten o’clock a man came to the gate leadiug to the residence of Capt. W. E. Chappell (about seveu miles from town, near Algiers), and hallooed. As the Captain had retired for the night, up stairs, his son, Crill, who heard the calling, it being repeated several times, weut to the window raised it, and ask what was wanting. The person at the gate, only a few feet away, answered, “Is your father at home? I want to see him a minute.” The Captain soon appeared at the door and asked the man outside what he wanted. The person replied by asking. “Is that you Captain?” Mr. Chappell answered “yes,” and asked the man to come in, who said he could not leave his horse, and requested the Captain to step to the gate. Mr. Chappell replied that the rain was falling and that he was in his night clothes, and again invited the caller to corao in. The Captain saw the man make a move as if to open the gate, when he suddenly fired, and without a moment’s warning the shot rattled around the Captain and buried themselves in the half open door, narrowly escaping him, as he leaned against the facing of the door, lie jumped back, and the man started off on a hard run. A light was secured, and eleven buck shot were found to have imbedded ■hemselvesin the door, while others had strnefc it and glanced off. As soon as day dawned, Crill Chappell found the tracks of the would-be murdererand followed them about two miles to Gray church near Ilighbanks. The tracks were plain, and showed that the person ran for nearly a mile before ho began walking. They also showed that the would-be assassin, whoever he mar be, is a tali man, as it was as much as Crill could do to step from one track to the other, and he is a tali man himself. - The Captain has no idea who made the attempt on his life. He is one of the most prominent citizens, widely and favorably known, and the motive for the attack is a mystery. The Marshal has a rough time working the roads, as there is a disposition among many property holders to request him not to disturb the gradings. So when he starts the men at work, out comes the protesting citizen, and asks the Marshal not to work there, but to go somewhere else and work. The Marshal says that is the At ay it goes, nearly everybody tells him to, or asks him why he does not, go elsewhere and “work” the reads.

The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Martin Circuit in Sam Archer’s ease, and he will hang, according to the courts decision, on. July 9th. The decision affirming the sentence is based upon an Indiana statute, providing that, “When a public offense has been committed partly in one county and party iu another, or the acts or effects constituting a requisite to the consummation of the oflcnse occur in two or more counties, the' jurisdiction is in either. The State Board of Health has issued a circular which i s published in our legal advertising columns, catiiug attention to the prevalence of cholera in Italy, Spain, Frau^a and Japan. The Secretary says that whenever the cholera has appeared in Europe soon er or later it has found its way to this country. The officer's of the local health boards are directed to look after the sanitary condition of their districts and private citizens are urged to do their duty towards putting their premises in proper condition. The Evansville Courier is responsible for the following snake story: ‘One of the largest snakes ever seen in Spencer couuty was killed near the residence of John M. Janes, in Grass township one day h»t week, it measured seventeen feet and six inches in length and twenty-one inches in circumference five fee't from the head. It is supposed that this monster escaped front John Itobinson’s circus, which exhibited in Koekport. From the description given a Courier reporter his snakeship must have been of the family ot anaconda. The following will be of interest to our miners: “The coal miners in their national convention at St. Louis on Friday organized as an assembly of the Knights of Labor, and adopted resolutions indorsing the course of General Master Workman Powderly. They further resolved to support hereafter no strikes or boycotts ex- , eept those sanctioned by the Knights of Labor. This indicates that a most important body of workmen in the , Southwest have no sympathy with , the advocates of Martin Irons’ policy of violence.” A ^gentleman who knows whereof he speaks, hands us the following: “Teachers’ wages are to be lessened; why? Simply from the fact that the people have honored a few men with the office of trustee who do .not know why the school was established, nor what it costs to prepare one to fill, with credit, the office of teacher. One trustee, it is stated, says he can fill bis schools with teachers at seventy-five cents per day; no doubt of that, but with what kind of material? Low wages means a low grade of teachers, resulting in poor work, high wages means a high grade of teachers, resulting in excellent work. The proposed reduction, if carried out, will leave the schools in a tie n at the end of two

“THE WEDDING” Of the Bepublioans and Nationals, It Winslow on Saturday-J. W. Wilson and Frank Posey Perform the Ceremony, outers Assisting In What Usd Been Pi«Tteailr Arranged—A Fall Kepert—Notes, Ac. The “conventions'’ of the National ami Republican parties were held at Winslow on last Saturday. As the ticket had been arranged by the leaders of both parties before hand; the crowd that assembled to see it ratified was small, and the machine-like proceedings lackingin spirit and enthusiasm. The following were chosen by the Nationals at their meeting iu the morning: For Treasurer, John Ferguson, of Monroe township; for Sheriff, James Brumfield, of Patoka township; for Coroner, John S. Kinman, ot Patoka towuship; and for Commissioner, first district, Arthur Hutchins, of Jefferson township. These places were accorded the Nationals by the Republican leaders. We are informed that several prominent Nationals declined to run on this coalition ticket. The National vote in 1884 was 131.^ In the afternoon, in the presence of the “blushiug bride” (the Nationals), “the groom” (the Republicans) 'proceeded to finish the “ceremony.” The nominations began with Representative. Joseph Stubblefield, Alex Oliphant, William Nixon, and J. P. Martin were placed in nomination; Stubblefield was chosen by acclamation, the other gentlemen having withdrawn their names. Joe was introduced by Chairman Wilson, as “the next Representative from Pike couuty” and he made a brief speech. ' The i followed the nomination of Wik' J. Bethell, for Ahditor, Goodlet Morgan, for Clerk, and Wesley M. Chandler, for Commissioner, secoud district, all bv acclamation. Logan township presented two candidates for Surveyor: Isaac Higgins and Joseph Carr. Logan voted, five for Higgins and one for Carr;but Carr was chosen on the first ballot. A Logan township Republican informed us after the ballot that it had been agreed upon that whoever Logan should name by a majority of its votes would be accepted by the convention ; but this was not done, and as a Republican says indhe notes below, “Isaac Higgins, a soldier, was set down on for a boy 21 years old.” For Surveyor was the only nomination balloted upon, and some of Higgius’ friends thought he was unfairly beaten. After the “wedding,” Frank Poaey delivered a speech on the labor question, in which the Republican party lias so suddenly taken great interest. Frank handled his subject skillfully smd adroitly; and after his speech the convention adjourned.

NOTES. Joe Stubblefield was happy. The ladies turned out in force. The Winslow baud, furnished the music. A large number of Democrats were in attendance. The Republican query: “Will it win?” Democrats smite. J. Bethell was the only candllate who smiled audibly. Prentice Martin would not have an [empty) honor thrust upon him. All the nominees were introduced is the next occupants of the various >ffiees, aud they made remarks. J. W. Wilson looked serious, and Alex. Oliphant appeared as if he loubted the success of the coalition. Marion township, the National stronghold, has no National candidate >n the coalition ticket. How's this? Lewis Loveless’ remarks after Higgins’ “defeat”:- !!! * * * ft f Ml!-??? 1 I 1-***t 11 !!!!!!!. James Brumfield's speech was the iut of the convention; aud when he ;poke of the “wedding” that had been musummated there was laughter and tpplause. The “wedding” was not as largely kttended as was expected. A number of Republicans and Nationals (cnt their “regrets,” and others quiety expressed theirs ou the the grounds. After Alex Oliphant’s withdrawal, Isaac Higgins was the ouly ex-soldier Sefore the convention, and after his ‘defeat,” a prominent Republican remarked : “They have beaten the only »oldiei before the convention.” Stick k pin there! A seller of lemonade said, during Frank Posey’s speech: ‘If he doesn’t .peak two hours and hold this crowd, so we can sell lemonade, he is no ’riead of mine!” Frank spoke about wo hours, and the lemonade verifiers smile increased as did the perspiration >n Frauk’s handsoate /ace.' A prominent Republican hands ns ;he following spicy paragraph jrc-; ;a riling the convention. They are ‘mighty interestin’readin’” for our Republican friends: “Joseph Carr was put on the tieket o please Henry C. Schafer, against he will and wish of Logan township. Hie bosses about Petersburg said, “we v ill please Henry.” “The Republicans claim that Sha'er’s influence will rail up a biar najorit> for his favorite. We shall ivatch with interest the battle and shall admit if Shafer rolls up 75 majority for Uarr that he is the big nan in Logan.” “The Republican party had no use or the old soldiers at their eouvenion. The only soldier proposed was Isaac Higgins and he was set down on ind beaten by a boy 21 years old. The Petersburg Republicans did it.” “Ol but did not the Republicans at

LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice to County, City and Tcsrn Boards of Health. Offtce of Indiana State Board j of llF.AETH, Indianapolis, May 1, ’8S-i ASIATIC Cholera is prevailing in Italy, France, Spain and Japan, The history of this disease is, that whenever it has made its appearance in Europe sooner or later it found its way to this country, and already one or two suspicious cases have been reported in the looted States. The Indiana state Board of Health feeling that there is greater danger of its extension tdonr shores this year than Inst, and comprehending the dtstruction of human life that a visitation of this pestilence would cause, recognise the necessity of placing tte State in such a sanitary condition that il Cholera comes it will find no soil within out borders to propagate its germs. By maintaining good sanitary conditions throughout the State the prevalence of other diseases peculiar to warm weather will be lessened. It is therefore directed that all County. City, and Town Boards of Health observe the following: 1st. Make a thorough sanitary survey pi their respective jurtsdic t ions. 2d. See that all accumulations of filth, decaying animal and vegetable matter In roads, streets, alleys, door yards, vacant and unoccupied lots are removed. Sd. That all gutters and drains are kept iunttlv open and clean, and that they are freui Bushed, ami disinfected w Uene ve r praeTlqable. tth. Thai all privy vaults, sinks, cesspools, lout el terns, stagnant ponds, hog pens, fold stables, unwholesome cellars, manure piles, dirty yards or lots, foul sewers, and ail other places suspected of being injurious to pub!?, health, are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected amt purified. oth. That ail rank vegetation along streets. stdewatks and gutters of cities ami towus, Js cut and destroyed, and not left to rot. #th. Attention is directed to the importance of compelling the proprietors of steamboats and those in control of railway property, owners of hotels a tut boar tic; houses, landlords, school officials, sheriffs, city conceits, tow: trustees, and others in control ol property to thoroughly clean and disinfect their premises, and prepare suitable water-closets for their patrons, employes, tenants and scholars, and frequently disinfect them. Tth. Attention is called to the necessity of making frequent inspections of nit vegetables, frutts, and other articles of food ottered for sale. Tainted vegetables and fruits are frequently sources of disease during warm weather. Sth. The carcass ot any dead animal or the ofi'at fToin slaughter houses, packing houses or Bsh houses, putrid animal substance, or the contents of privy vaults, be not placed open public grounds, market place, common, field, lot, road, street or alley, or into any river, pond, canal or lake. There should be thorough whitewashing* drying, ventilating and disinfecting of all parts of habitations by citizens of the State, so that the high standard of health that has existed during the past year may be maintained. The water supply ot the State should receive especial attention, and be carefully protected from pollution by seepage from foul places and surface washings. \\ ater being the readiest medium through which Cholera and Typhoid Fever spread, the absolute necessity of sacredly protecting it from contamination is apparent.
