Natural Gas, Oil or Minerals Await You if you Will Prospect. A Bright Future Before this Community if Either is Secured. The Outlook Is Good tbat the Company will Organize. The ball has been set rolling that will boom Petersburg and Pike county audit is not all wiud. Substantial men realize that now is the lime to put Petersburg in the front ranks and they are willing to risk a few hundred dollars in prospecting. Men of capital signified their intention of taking stock and are investiga'ing the gas and oil fiolde of northern Indiana. That section of the state baa become famous the world over as being the cheapest and best place for manufacturers in the world. Tbat territory has gas and oil iu abundance. Nature has not provided that locality as abundantly as she has this. Take our immense coal fields, the best in the stale, veins ranging in depth from four to fourteen feet, and of the very finest quality. Aud yet our mining industry is only in its intauoy. Take our forests. Wo have some of the finest timber land iu the state. Oak, ask, poplar, beach, elm, sycamore, hickory, in fact we have all the varieties in abundance. It is one of the best localities in this section for the manufacturing classes to locate Timber is cheap and is accessible. Take our numerous health resorts. Pure mineral wators of medical properties. They can be developed into big paying institutions. The analysis of our mineral springs show them to be as fine as those of any other section. Take the city of Petersburg, laying as it does, why should it not make a city of immense size in the next few years if she should be so fortunate as to strike one or the other of these. It is to the interest of every citizen to give this matter serious thought aud not let it pass idly by. If our people shouldbeso fortunate as to make a success of the enterprise which is now being formed, it would be of Incalculable benefit to every nfan in Pike county. Lands and property would increase in value; the markets would be better, and farmers who are now feeding some of the crops to the hogs would be able to sell them at a fair price. There shouldcbe a meeting held in the near future and the matter canvassed and talked over in a business way. A number of the citizens are ready at any timQ to take hold of the enterprise, but for some cause or other are not active enough. Agitato the cause and get to work and see what Nature has in store for the city. Let every business mail take hold and push the enterprise.

They ought to be dead and mouldering in the dust of the earth, and the dust be scattered to the four winns of heaven that they might be completely obliterated from the memory of man. Union City Eagle, Republican Organ of Randolph county. April 23.1892. Wo submit the question whether Governor Chase’s speech was as courteous, discreet, patriotic and manly as the resolution claims it to be. Was it discreet or courteous for a minister of the church 'of God, a follower of the lowly Nazarone and a teacher of his word, with its lessons of mercy toward “even the least of these” to speak of human beings, even the vilt*st as “imps of hell,” and express the wish that “God would damn them to hell,” thereby violating Ills command, “Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain ?” Was it discreet, courteous, patriotic or manly ?

years past has beeu non-political, yet in some instances political tricksters take the order by the horns and try to make it a political organization. The following article gives a part of i-Col” Reid's services during the rebellion : In July, 1881, the eighth, tenth and thirteenth Indiana regiments constituted a part of the army of the Potomac under General McClellan, and in the same command were several regiments of Ohio volunteers. Some ten days before the battle of Rich Mountain, Colonel, afterward General Roaecran*, was ordered to form a junction with MeClellnn at Uuekhannon, and he started with the eighth, tenth and thirteenth regiments and one of the Ohio regiments by forced marches to Join his superior officer. The country through which we had to pass was mountainous, and the road was often a mere path leading around some mountain peak, where even the infantry got along with difficulty. With the command was a detachment of light artillery under Col Loomis, of Michigan, and at times it was almost impossible to get the artillery through the mountain deflies. Whltelaw Reid was the war correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, and accompanied Rosecranz’ command on the march. About midnight one dark, stormy night the troops came to a deep gulch In the side of the mountain, and it became necessary to tore the guloh, and in doing so the soldiers entered a rough military road that had been cut In the side af the mountain. While it was not more than a couple of rods ucross the gulch, the enforced detour caused a march of nearly half a mile. When the head orthe command bad turned the ravine it could look across and see the rear Just entering. At this moment one of the horses attached to the battery got loose and came running back around the head of the ravine, {the sparks flying from every contact of his iron-shod hoofs with the reek that formed the roadbed. A part of the eighth Indiana regiment, under Lieutenant Connor, of Richmond, Wayne county was bringing up the rear, and the Ohio regiment was about the center. As the brightened animal came plunging along the road, the tenth and thirteenth regiments opened ranks and permitted him to pass through, but the Ohio regiment became panic stricken, and throwing down their arms and haversacks, fled pell-mell down the road, and Colonel Connor found it impossible to reform them till thev had become thoroughly exhausted by their flight. They supposed the confusion lu front was caused by an attack of the enrney. and, being raw recruits, fled precipitately from the supposed danger. The command reached Uuekhannon without furthur incident two or three days later and went into camp. About the same time the Cincinnati papers were received, and the Indlanians were surprised to find that Reid had reported the incident with many exaggerations, and had represented the Indiana soldiers as running before an affrighted horse, while the Ohio regiment was praised for its bravery and given the credit or stopping the ront and bringing order out of the confusion of the night. The wrl ter had considerable hnmor in his story, and the Indiana boys were made|the butt of. every Joke by tbc»rwho did not know thei truth 'of the atofy. tSIlns Colgrove. of Winchester, afterward promoted to a colonelcy and now connected with the pension department at Washington, was so exasperated by the affair that he took Reid out of his tent and abused him unmercilully, calling him a liar and denouncing him as the'pnld minion of the Gasette, who was aVraid to glve;the true tacts tv his paper. Taking up some of tbejhaversacks that the ludlana boys had picked up, he showed Reid the Initials on them, and made him confess In the presence of the camp that he had misrepresented the affair. When the Cincinnati Gazette reached the camp after the battle: the Indtanlns saw that they had been wilfully mlrepreseoted again by Reid and [hell anger knew no bounds. In his correspondence giving an account of the battle he had deliberately covered the Ohio troops all over with glory, describing them as being foremost in the fight and as putting the rebels to rout, while the Indiana regiments stood Idly by wanting to Join in the plunder of the campjof the enemy. The falsehood was so uncalled for, did such injustice to the Indiana regimeuts, that tttey joined In one voice In denouncing the story as a lie, and an excited mob gathered around the teut in which Reid was staying. Though Colgrove felt as much Incensed as any of the men. be tried to qnell the mob spirit, and stood between Rold and the vengeance of the Indisnlans. Re was determined, however, that Held should leave the camp, and he called him out In the presence of the men he had maligned. Reid trembled at the summons but made no attempt to Justify his action, “I have prevented these men,” said Colgrove to Reid, “from doing you harm, for I know that you ore unworthy even of their anger. But we will give you tea minutes to leave the camp, and If you are ever seen here again yon will be hanged like a dog. Now go, and don’t you ever come about an Indiana regiment again, or your life will pay the penalty.” Held slunk away from the cainp, and no memberof the three regiments ever saw him alter want.

Jacob W. Hayes, who lives near Winslow, in Patoka township, eamb to the city last Thursday and swore out affidavits for the arrest of George llobliug, Jackson Fisher and, John Beazley, charging them with breakinto his house on Wednesday night and beating him and his family. Coustable Smiser and George Gullick started after the boys and brought them to the city Friday morning and lodged them in jail with the exception of Robling, who gave bail for. his appearance Tuesday. Haves’ testimony at the preliminary Tuesday, as was that ot his daughters was ycry strong against the boys and they were bound over to the circuit court to await the action of the grand jury. As the evidence goes some- persons came to the Hayes house about midnight and with a fence rail battered down the door and then fired two shots into the house. The marauders then went into the house aud knocked the inmates around in a lively manner for sometime aud then dragged Hayes out into the yard and gave him a lew licks with a switch. The boys claim their innocence and hope to bo able at the coming term of court to prove that they were not present.

The Kepublican Board of Commissioners Advance County and Township Levies to a High Limit. Comity Levy Raised Ten Cents on the One Hundred Dollars and the Levies of (be Several Townships Nearly Doubted—A Few Heuearks. Our republicans friends frequently publish that that “democracy is a tax,’’ that all increase of taxation is on account of the democratic rule, but we propose to show that the republican party of Pike county is a tax and to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. It will be remembered that last year, 1891, the board ol commissioners of Pike countv was democratic and consisted of J. J. Bowman, Z. T. Dearing democrats and WVM. Chandler republican and that this year the board is republican with the exception ol Z. T. Dearing, democrat. The democratic board for 1891 levied the following taxes upou one hundred dollars of taxable property: County tax 87 cents on (10U County bond lax U8 “ •* “ Total county tax 46 “ •• “ And the following township taxes in each township: Jefferson township 21 cents on 8100 Washington “ 26 “ “ “ Madison “ 10 *• •' “ Clay “ 48 •• “ Patoka « 30 “ ■* *• Monroe “ 28 “ “ *■ Logan “ 80 " •• “ Lockhart “ Marlon “ Petersburg corporation And for the year 1892 the republican board made the following levy: County tax County bond tax 46 1U0 40 cents on 8100 15 “ •• “ Total county tax 55 “ •* “ And township taxes as follows: Jefferson township 60 cents on 8100 Washington ** 4t “ “ Madison “ 10 « “ “ Clay “ 66 “ “ “ Patoka •• 88 *< « •• Monroe “ 83 •« “ “ Logan “ 88 “ •• *• Lockhart “ 3.1 •* •• “ Marlon •• 85 “ “ *• Petersburg corporation 101 “ “ “ And it is ati easy matter to tell how much more the tax payers of each township will pay more than for 1891, and the following is the increase for county and township taxes iu each township: Jefferson towushtp Washington “ Madison “ Clay *• Patoka ’• Monroe “ Logan •• Lockhart “ Marlon “ Petersburg corporation 35 cents on 8150 25 “ ** « 10 “ “ « 20 " “ « 18 « ** “ 15 o *< « 18 ** *• “ 25 “ “ « 20 “ “ “ And yet it is a fact that the treasurer had more county money on hand June 1, 1892, thau he did on June 1, 1891. Will our republican friends please explain why the rate of taxes was increased for county purposes? The state and school tax remain the same for both years. This increase of tax for 1892 can not be charged up to a democratic legislature as it has not been in session.

Two years ago, The Enterprise, the ergdh of the Republican party in Clay county, in denouncing the school book law, said that it would be repealed just as soon as that party would again get control of the general assembly. Our contemporary should see to it, Ififen, that the man nominated for representative in this county on July 80 is openly committed for the repeal of this law and that he goes before the people on this issue. We shall see.—Brazil Democrat. Republican organs are singularly silent regarding the incident of the southern Grand Army posts refusing to affiliate with ex-soldiers of the colored persuasion. There has not been even a protest from any important northern organ of the party, and the colored voters of the south are asking for the reason. They may learn that their votes are needed by the Republicans rather than their company.—Benton Review. Let the opponents of an income tax please answer what hardship there would be in taxing those whose income Is greater than their need ? Take the entail principle adopted by the Astor family of devising only in trust from son to son the vast fortune accnmmulating larger for the' protection they receive.—Noblesville Democrat. Congressman Johnson, the fire-eating statesman from Richmond, Ind., made a speech in the house Tuesday. He said that “President Harrison was in favor of the Lodge force election hill, and no man hut a coward or despot would oppose it.” The Republican party needs 1 a force hill to keep it- in power.—Tipton Cypres. _ A It is a curious faot that the Republican party holds itself as being the special champion of temperance, and yet if yon merely mention the subject of prohibition, it indulges in the vilest abusa of the measure, and everlastingly damns every Republican who favors it.—Covington Friend. The McKinley tariff increased the duty on corn from ten to fifteen cents per bushel. Ibis was dono to make the farmer believe he was protected town the pauper corn of Europe. In 189<ythe i total imports of corn in the United States amounted to t ,838 bushels—mostly seed com. How much benefit have the farmers of Indiana derived from this! tariff on com? This is the only com producing country in the world. Children Ory for Pitcher’s Caetorla. j -
