r-TU«R# - 1 ^ —*»>"• v-f * ■ J ^UV’JWrA Proposition. The JJncoln institute of this city has' submitted a proposition to the citizens of Petersburg and Pike county, that for the suhl of $800 they will treat those patienis who are too poor to pay the stipulated fee charged by the institute. The proposition is a very fair one, aud one which should iueet with a hearty response from those who desire to sec their fellowmen iu a much improved physical condition. Subscription papers should be circulated among the people for donations for this purpose. ‘The institute has turned out a few

graduates and in the next few days will turn out several more. These men have hail the experience and know the results of the habit; they also know the results of the treatment as given at the Lincoln"institute. Here is a chance for all to show their appreciation of the Lincoln institute that has been established here,.) and has effected several cures of the whisky habir. It is not an experiment and the gentlemen in charge of the institute shoulu be given the proper encouragement. The following is, ihe proposition of the managers of the institute: Owing to the number of sufferers from the liquor habit (many of whom have consulted us- personally and many more of whom we have, been informed) in this county who are desirous of being cured but are unable to pay for their treatment. We, the managers of the Lincoln institute ot Petersburg, ItnUana, submit the following proposition to the citizens ot the town of Petersburg and the county at large: We will treat and guarantee to cure all those who may apply to us for the cure of the liquor habit who satisfy a committee of the citizens ®t the town of Petersburg that they are personally uuable to pay for their treatment. AH such persons must he residents ot Pike county, Indiana. Provided that the citizens of Petersburg and the count! of Pike will subscribe a fund of eight hundred dollars ($S00) and place the same in the hands of the committee mentionedabove, and that the fund shall be deposited in the Citizens State Bank of Petersburg, Indiana, by the 20th day of June, 1803. That such fund shall lay in the bank until the last patient entering between the 20th. ofl^ June and the 20th of August, 1893, is discharged cured, and shall then^ and^then only, become the property of the Lincoln Institute. L. T. H ayward, M. P , Physician in Charge. A*i>KEW Drybrough, Manager Lincoln Institute.

Notwithstanding the effort put forth by the friends of Ex-Governor jra Chase, preachen-banker, to save him from criminal indictment, the Howard county grand jury, consisting of five republicans and one democrat, after a thorough investigation of the Greentown ba^c failure returned wjtn incitements against h\m as follows: Embezzlement directly by 'appropriating funds of the bank ; embezzlement indirectly through his agent, cashier Walden ; false pretense in securing deposits by falsely representing that his partneVs, John W- Paris and Zimi Hwiggins, were worth from $100,000 to $150,000 and from $250,000 to $1,000,000 respectively and that the bapk was sound and solvent, thereby inducing W. C. Reed to deposit the sum of $133. P^ris is indited in five counts for the same crimes. Cashier Walden is charged with embezzlement and false prelense in two counts. The electric light plant is receiving the finishing torches this week. The belts for the dynamos have not yet arrived, but are expected every day. The work of making connections for the incandescent system will be finished early next week. Oakland City Princeton, Washington, Vincennes and other cities will please take notice arid be on hanti sjnd take note* of the workings of a first-class electric light plant. During the past ten days several banks in ilndiana have suspended. The cause of these suspensions is due io the fact that many have taken 'the responsibility of dealing in “fut ur^s” and unprolitablo mining stocks. Uroteers who gamble are expected ,to beat their depositors at every move.

A horseman by the name of "William Golden, claiming the broad fields ot" Wyoming as his his home, dropped into Petersburg a few days ago and made a match foy a running race. He claimed to hare bought a nag in Kentuck that could run a fair race and finally the event came off last Tuesday, He calls his horse “Tenny Junior/' A black mare owned by Tom Fleming was put against the Wyoming man’s horse. The start was made with the black mare in the lead, but at the quarter Tenuy was a length ahead, and at the finish was several lengths in the lead. The time for the half was fifty-eight seconds. The race could easily have been finished in -fifty. But little money changed hands on the result. Preston, the rider of ihq Fleming mare struck the other rider several severe blows over the head with the butt end of his whip, which caused a terrible sensation until he took to his heels and over the hills to his home in Princeton. But Preston finally came to grief. Constable Smieer took tip the chase aud captured him some distance south of the city. He was brought back and taken before Squire Chappell, who fined him $20 and costs, amounting to over $31. The talk about the hoop skirt increases rather thjtn diminishes and it is likely to be discussed until the matter is settled one way or the other, says the New York Post. Never in all its history has (he odious thing ever received such an ariiount of antagonism or brought oh such a bloodless war. If nothing else could be urged against it, the utter discomfort and lndeousness of the forward-tilting, backward pitching cage ought to kill it forever. It is so obviously disadvantageous, so utterly unbecoming. It puts women at the mercy of the four winds of heaven. It makes them ridiculous, for it is absolutely arosteque. It is dangerous, senseless and

immodest. Heretofore the inevitable in this regard lias been aecepted after a slight contest, but in these modern times it takes more than a decree front the powers that be to settle a question of dre-*s. Of course, there are women who are entirely willing to accept the hoop skirt. Like many other ahsurb or foolish fashions, it has its champions. Some would adopt it merely to be conspicuous, others would don it fimple because it differs entirely from existing modes. Now is the accepted time to use lime as a disinfectant and for the purification of premises, as well as a protection for trees. There is no disinfectant as cheap as lime or more effective when spread in cellars which have been thoroughly cleaned, putting the material down close to the edge of the ground next to the foundation walls, where it acts as an exterminator of snails, a counteractive of mold, and a corrector of foulness gathered there. Basements should not only be supplied with slack lime at this season but they should also have applied to their walls and ceilings generous coats of whitewash. Those processes overcome dampness and produce a purification greatly needed. There is not inuch expense in this process of purification, but there is practical effectiveness in it, as an economy which enables every housekeeper adopt it with beuefit. The new law requires the county clerk to issue fee bills for costs in all. eases at the end of 90 days from date of judgment. Formerly no fee bills or executions were issued without the order of some person to w horn costs were due. Mr. Morgan does not wish to put any one to extra eo>-ts if it can be avoided and requests ns to call attention to this change in the law, that all may understand his duty in such eases. If costs are not paid within 90 days he will be compelled by law to issue»fee bills to the sheriff for collection.

Mr. Thomas has served four years in that capacity and with credit to himself and to the schools and patrons of Pike county, lie is a hard school worker and by his zeal and untiring work as such, officer has had much to to do in placing the school work on a much broader plan of work. We are not informed as to Mr. Thomas-’ future movements, but wish him success in any branch of business or profession in which he may engage.
