J. It, Criswell, living near Uuckskin, in sending his subscription for for The Democrat tor another year has Ihe foliowingi complimentary words for tills paper: ‘‘Please find $125 which you can apply to my subscription for otic of the best county papers in the state. I think I ought to be a good judge of good papers as I have been reading them for fifty-five long years or more. I am now in my sixtv-eight year and have voted ttie Democratic ticket tor forty-five years or more, and I do hope I will live to vote one mure time for the best mail iii the Nation, to wit: Grover Cleveland.” The company of gentlemen of tills city who have been considering the project of lighting the city by a system of electric lights havo given it up. After a careful investigation of the cost of putting in an electric lijfiit plant they found that it would be impossible for them to get enough patrons among the business men to justify them in operating a plant. Now, the question is: What are the citizens going to do in regard to street lighting? The city by all means should have a system of some kind. We now have on our hands about forty or fifty of the Sun Va|a«r lights now in the city, and which have not been used for the past year. Other cities use this same light and it has given very fair satisfaction, but they are kept ill order and not allowed to turn themselves into lampblack institutions on a small scale. With the Sun Vapors kept in good order they should give a good light for the money expended.

Every one who is able to command the trifliug sum should ask himself. Can I afford to stay at home and lose so much ?

The leaders of the republican parly had made arrangements to go to Evansville yesterday with great pomp. They had arranged to take the city band, had gathered up all the flairs, and had scraped the dust off of their old campaign white plugs, but for some reason best known to themselves it failed to pan out just right. Grandpa’s hat will keep until another time. “Wait till the clouds roll by,” 6aid the young man who made a flying sncak|through the alley last Saturday evening.

S«ir Explanatory. The following letter to the editor of the Washington Democrat ex plains away some of the mysteries in regard to the recent altercation between Editors Krebs and Harrell: Petersburg, Ind., July 7, 1892. Editor Democrat, Washington, Ind. Dear Siri—In-your Daily of the 5th Inst, you stated that in an altercation between Charles Krebs and myself, I was knocked down by the woul(l-l>e-pugilistic editor of j [the Press. Here are the facts: Krebs was I standing in the front door of the drug store | of J. It. Adams •& Sons. I came along. He [ demanded I publicly retract and apologize j for every thiug I had said about him in the News. In language that would hardly pass muster in a brick-yard. I told him “to go to.” He didu’t go but smashed me in the mouth, a ad then began to retreat backwards into the store. I followed him . in; got him down on the floor and on top of bint and before 1 could strike him a blow, was taken off of him by Henry C. Gordon and Warner Barrett at the request of Mr. MeCrellus Adams, who did not want a fight to occur in his store, I then went out mV the pavement and waited fully ten minutes for Krebs to come out which he did not do, and I went to my office. For the truthfulness of the above account of the “recent rebellion,” I would refer yon to Mr. A. II. Taylor, Mr. II. C. Gorden, Mr. Warner Barrett, Howard Adams, McCrilius Adams, Dr. Fullenwider, etc. 1 am ready and willing to finish the contest at any time. Xo one was kuocked down; no one was whipped; no one was even hnrt. Resp’y Yours, E. H. IIauukj.l. Physicians Puzzled. s Many persons are unable to steep on their leftside. The cause :.»s long lieen a puzzle to physicians. Metropolitan papers speak with great interest of Dr Franklin Miles’ the eminent Indiana especiaiist in nervous and heart diseases, who has proven that this habit arises from a diseased heart. He has examined and kept on record thousands of cases. His new heart c ..re, a wonderful remedy, is sold at J. It. Adams & Sous. Thousands testify to its value as a cure for heart diseases.
