The Daviess County Democrat aptly says that the Republicans of this eounty “Recognizing the utter impossibility of making a successful canvass with a straight Republican ticket in the field, the convention embraced a forlorn hope by fusing with the Greenbackera or Nationals.” To make room for goods still arriving Gus.

Low, Jr., & prominent lawyer of .Albion, 111., was married te Miss Laura M. Ravenscroft, the accomplished daughter of Rev. J. B. Ravenscroft, the well-known M. E. minister. Mrs. Low is a niece of Mrs. Morris Fratk and Mrs. Emory Hewins, of this place. A bright little girl remarked the other day, after, she had the slight mishap of stepping off the sidewalk into a gutter, that she intended “to sue the town board.” She was then asked what she thought the tow n board is, and replied that it is “a great big long board,” and that her “papa once was on the town board.” We are authorized to state that the County Superintendent is not the author of the article referring to teachers’ wage8, published in last week’s Dzmoouat. He says his opinion is free, but that he never seeks to publish it disguised. 3He |lso says that one argument in five hundred in favor of our schools is a poor offering to the best interest of our country.

Hon. Gerard Reiter, of Vincennes, was over Saturday looking after his political fences arid shaking bands with his numerous friends in Pike. Mr. Reiter is a candidate for Auditor of State, and being iin every way qualified for the office, and well known in this county, we have no doubt he will receive Pike’s vote for that position. Willie, the seventeen-year-old son pf Fred. Poetker, died early Tuesday morning from disease of the heart and lungs. He was a bright and industrious young man, and the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Poetker deeply sympathise with them in their sad bereavement. The remains were taken to Steudal yesterday morning for burial. Rev. James M. Thomas preached an interesting sermon at the M. £. church on Wednesday evening of last week. He was greeted by a good audience, aud at this his second appearance here since he entered the ministry he made a favorable impression on his old friends who predict for him a bright future, full of good work for the cause to which he is so earnestly devoted. The bustle of Mrs. Mollie Hughes of Louisville,' was a peculiar one. It was so constructed, that various articles kept in dry goods and jewelry shops could find an entrance and a refuge therein. Friday after a shopping expedition, the police investigated Mrs. Hughes’bustle, and discovered various wares said to belong to the merchants on whom she had called. Mrs. Hughes was thereupon placed under arrest. A meeting will be held at the court house to-night to make arrangements for the grand celebration on the 3d of Julv. A fund is guaranteed that will make the celebration a success, and our people should move in the matter, take active steps to carry out >the details, and our town will enjoy one of the largest celebrations in its history, which will attract the thousands. Let there be a good attendance at the meeting to-night. A receut letter written by Gus. Frank to the managers of his business contained the following: “I found goods so cheap that I decided to remain in New York for the purpose of buying a larger stock than I had intended. I was also at the great carpet auction which was attended by all the leadingAarpct men of America. I bought altogether 22 pieces of brussels carpet. Rather a large stock fgr Petersburg but they are so cheap that we w ill sell thorn at wholesale pi ices.” There was a good attendance at the old settlors’meeting at Vinceffnes, on the 3d., for the district composed of Pike, Knox, Sullivan, Daviess, Greene, Gibson, Vanderburg and Posey, in Indiana, and Wabash, Lawrence and Crawford, in Illinois. Reddick Harrell was chosen Vice-President for this county. The next meeting will be held at Vincennes on the first Thursday in June, 1887. A great deal of iuterest was taken in this meeting, and as they are a source of great pleasure, the interest in them will increase.

Bee how this item from the Evansville Journal applies to this county. After the cut-and-dried RepublicanNational convention in this county the following is a decided misfit: “Republican candidates for county offices are coming out freely during these auspicious times; also for State offices. As for the State at large this is a winning year. While Republican aspirants are confident, Democratic ones are as shy of coming out of their holes as woodchucks or prairie-dogs. The “embarrassment of riches” is all that ails the party now.” Funuy, isn't it ? Persons who in conversation are continually carving: the characters of others should be shunned. The habit easily grows on one, and therefore needs to be carefully guarded agaiust. It is well to remember that those who listen do not necessarily infer that the carver is superior to the person that is being carved. Indeed, it is pretty generally understood that men of superior minds can afford to speak highly of others frequently. To dwell on the faults of others indicates neither greatness nor goodness. What others lose by our words does not pass to our credit. A drunken man proposed to take possessiou of Coleman’s saw mill one day last week, and intended to have the mill lot and everything or fight, and cursed and stumped around the premises because he was told to “move ou." It wan only alter seeing a brick in the bauds of George Coleman that he ceased his racket; came to the conclusion that he did hot own | the mill, and retired to the soft side of a lumber pile, where he serenely slept for several hours and then disappeared as suddenly as be oame. He was indeed “a bad man from bitter •creek l”

> DR. C. J. AGEE KlLliED At Stepkeaspert, Warrick County, by Jaka L Gentry. At Stephensport, one-and-one-half miles from the Pike county line, in Warrick county on last Thursday afternoon, Dr. C. J. Agee, of Stendal, this county, was stabbed to death by John L. Gentry, of Warrick county. A reporter has learned the following particulars of the tragedy: A short time before the fatal affray, Dr. Agee and Cleil Scales drove into Stephensport, and Agee alighted at Jasper Handy’s grocery, asked everybody up to drinnk, and said he was “the best man in town.” John L. Gentry disputed Agee’s claim, and said he (Gentry) was the best man, and drinks were again passed around, The conversation drifted to politics, and Agee being a Republican and Gentry a Democrat, they became involved in a quarrell; and a bystander says Agee, with his hand in his pocket and closely eying Gen try would advance toward him, as Gentry was moving slowly toward Agee, kuifqin hand. Suddenly? Gentry made a lunge at Agee, and the knife struck him at the throat, servering the jugular vein. Agee expired in a few moments. Gentry fled but was captured near HawesvOle, Keutucky, Saturday morning, by Detective Hugh Hales, ot Rock port. Gentry was given in charge of the Sheriff of Warrick county and taken to BopnVille. There was some talk of lynching Gentry, but the court will no doubt be left to uphold the majesty of the law. Dr. Agee was a prominent citizen, and a widely-known practitioner. He was addicted to the use of liquor, ond it is said, while under its influence often became involved in disputes. Gentry is reported as a reckless character, and is but twenty-four years old. ,

The Tobacco Crop. The first season for setting tobacco the planters have had this season was last Monday, the 31st day of May, and the few persons who were going to raise tobacco were making good use of the time. The acreage set this year in Warrick, Gibson and Pike counties will fall far below former years, and as in comparison with last year will hardly be one acre for every six acres. The low prices at which tobacco is selling on our markets have deterred the planters from giving the culture of tobacco but little attention, and they will turn their attention in some other direction which will yield them more money for less labor. The dry weather has had an injurious effect upon the growiug wheat, and old experienced wheat raisers in Gibson county tell us that the yield will fall short at least onc-third from what they had calculated upon three weeks ago, and although here and for a few miles around us on last Saturday night aud Sunday we had good tains it did not extend into the wheat belt of Gibson aud Pike counties, aud hence they are still suffering for rain, and as a matter of course, while the draught continues the prosDects for wheat will become more alarming.— Lynnvillc correspondence of Boonville Enquirer. THE T. A 0. E. R. CASE. Petition for a Re-Hearing Overruled— The Tax to be Levied, and Then Come the Cars. ■ The Supreme Court on the 2d inst. overruled the petition’for a rehearing in the case of the Board of Commissioners of Kuox county vs. Geo. F. Montgomery, appealed to the Supreme Court from Daviess county, which was decided in favor of Mr. Montgomery. The case concerns the welfare of the Vincennes and Ohio River Railway Company, which has been in the courts some two or three years. A tax of two per cent.— amounting to about $93,000 in Vincennes township and $18,000 in Harrisou township—was voted in aid of the above named corporation, and the Commissioners being enjoined from lev) iug the tax, the tax has been undecided up to the present time. The limit has been reached in the courts, however, and one per cent, of the tax will probably have to be levied by the Board of Commissioners at their session this week.

The Township Trustees* The law makes it the duty of township trustees to see to it that fishways are placed in all dams four feet in height. When the owner of the dam will not put in the way or ladder the township trustee must do it at the expense of the owner. It is now about time these fishways were put in place. The law makes it the duty of the 8tate Fish Commissioner to furnish the plau or diagram lor the fish ladder. Those township trustees or ownera who have not received the plan can be furnished by applying by letter or in person to Enos B. Heed, State Fish Commissioner. Paste This in Tour Hat. The next State election will be held' on Tuesday, Nov, 2, 1886. No man will have the right to vote at that election who was not a resident of the State'on Saturday, May 1,1886, and of the tow nship on Friday, Sept. 3,1886, and of the precinct on Sunday, Oct. 3, 1886. Bemember these dates. This residence must have been continuous until the act of voting. If these facts are remembered," they will answer a thousand questions to be asked between now and the day of election. Fourth of Jnljr Celebration. There will bo a grand celebration at Otwell, July 9d under the auspices of the G. A. R. An invitation is extended to til, and especially to all posts, There will be good speakers present, excellent music, and a general good time ia anticipated. ®T<

POLITICAL PICK-UPS. The Congressional Situation Reviewed. Thos. B. Byrnes' friends are booming him for Treasurer of State. Ex-Speaker Charley Jewett was nominated recently by 2,000 majority to represent Floyd county in the next Indiana House of Representatives. There ore few better men than Mr. Jewett. Our Republican contemporary, the Evansville Journal, is responsible for the following, regarding the congressional situation: “The Journal's suggestion to the Mcnaies Democrats, that they enforce the unit rule in this (Vanderburg) county, as other connties iu the district have done, has been adopted by the Tribune-News and the Menxies men generally. The adoption of that rule will give Major Menaies 103 votes in conventionthree more thau necessary to nominate him.” If this was accomplished Mr. Meusies would have to secure three counties solid—Vanderburg, Perry and his own county, Posey. It appears to ns, as a looker-on in Vienna, that it would be difficult to secure the vote of Vauderburg as a unit for Mr. Menaies where So many of the delegates (25 out of 55, it is claimed) are for Mr. McCullough; who also couuts on Pike, Gibson, Warrick and Spencer, the three latter having instructed for him, and this county instructed to vote as a unit on all questions, by resolution adopted at our county convention. Mr. Menaies has friends among our delegation, but Mr. McCullough is confident that he will get the solid support of this county, and enough votes from Vauderburg to secure the nomination on the first ballot However, Mr. Menaies’ friends are active, and are leaving no stone unturned to secure the coveted prise for their favorite. The time and place for the convention has not yet been fixed, but the canvass will be lively from now on and new developments are predicted by the knowing ones. A Menzies man informs us that Mr. McCullough has not more than 12 votes in Vanderburg, and that if the unit rule is observed by Mr. McCullough’s friends in other counties, Menaies’ friends will insist on that rule for Vanderburg county, thus claiming his nomination on the first ballot, by the votes of Perry, Posey and Vanderburg counties. So in the above you have the claims of both of these distinguished gentlemen. ' While the fight has been earnest, there has been no bad blood in it, as some ol our State exchanges believe. We say: May the best man win. The nominee will be tlih next Congressman from this district. Mark that.

Tke National Educational Association. The annual meeting of this Association will be held at Topeka, Kansas, July 9th to 16th and arrangements have beeu made bv the Ohio & Missis sippi Railway and its western connections for reduced fare to teachers aud others attending.

XAILltOAD AID TAX-MANDAMUS-PRACTICE. 12,505. Board of Commissioners of Knox couuty vs. George F. Montgomery. Daviess C. C. Affirmed. Elliott J. In a proceeding to require county commissioners to place a tax on the duplicate voted it aid of a railroad, mandamus is not the exclusive remedy. The m&ttcr may be submitted to the board, by petition, from which an appeal may be taken to the Circuit court, if the decision be adverse to the petitioner Mere relay of the county board to take action at the time required by law can not defeat the rights of the taxpayers to have the levy made (Freeman’s Judgment. 57.) Where the record is silent on the subject it will be presumed that a cause is4ightfullv in the court where the record shows it to be. The decision of the board on the validity of the election and the sufficiency of the petition conclusively settled all preliminary questions.

Notice to County, City and Town Boards of Health. Office of Indiana State Board ( of Health, Indianapolis, May 1, ’SO.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 Us way to this country, and already one or two suspicious cases have been reported In the United States. The Indiana State Board of Health feeling that there is greater danger of Its extension to our shores this year than last, and com* prchendtng the dtstruetton of human life that a visitation of this pestilence would cause, recognize the necessity of placing the State in such a sanitary condition that If Cholera comes lt will And no soil within our borders to propngatsflfts 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 Countv. City, and Town Boards of Health observe the followivg: 1st. Make a thorough sanitary survey ol their respective jurisdictions. 2d. See that all accumulations of filth, decaying animal and vegetable matter in roads, strocts, alleys, door yards, vacant and unoccupied lots are removed. 3d. That alt gutters and drains are kept open antWleen, and that they are frequently flushed, and disinfected whenever practicable. 4th. That all privy vaults, sinks, cesspools, foul cl terns, stagnant ponds, hog pens, foul stables, unwholesome cellars, manure plies, dirty yards or lots, foul sewers, and all other places suspected of being Injurious to public health, are thoroughly cleaued, disinfected and purified. 5th. That all rank vegetation along streets, sidewalks and gutters of cities and towns, Is cut and destroyed, and uot left to rot* 8th. Attention ts directed to the importance of compelling the proprietors of steamboats and those In control of rail way property, owners of hotels and boarding houses, landlords, school officials, sheriffs, city councils, town trustees, and others in control of property to thoroughly cleau and disinfect their premises, and prepare suitable water-closets for their patrons, employes, tenants and scholars, and frequently disinfect them. 7tli Attention Is called to the necessity of making frequent inspections of all vegetables, fruits, and other articles of Jt»d offered for sale. Tainted vegetables auac fruits are frequently sources of disease, during warm weather. 3th. The carcass of any dead animal or the oifat from slaughter houses, packing houses or fish bouses, putrid animal substance, or the contents of privy vaults, be not placed upon public grounds, market place, common, field, lot, road, street or alley, or into any river, pond, canal or lake. There should bo 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 bo maintained. The water supply of the State should receive especial attention, and be earefuily protected from pollutlou 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. The Health Officers are directed to take immediate steps for the prosecution of any one resisting the execution of these orders as provided in Sections 2065 to 2075 of the Revised Statutes of 1881, Inclusive.
