Tax-payee you are welcome to all the satisfaction you can get out of the'1 raise iu the tax-rate of Pike county. The bonded debt of Pike county has been reduced $5,000. To reduce the bohded debt county orders are being floated. The corporation of Petersburg is paying double interest on a few thousands of dollars. Pay off the floating orders with the cash in the treasury. * I_1_!!_LiiSJLLiLHBgJ"""! The people of Pike county are getting a splendid dose of republican rule at the present time. County orders are being floated and selling at *a discount. The board ot commissioners allowed themselves $87.50 extra pay at the 'August session. Of this amouut Carlisle received $49,00; Iladlock, 135,00 and Welton $3 50.

With a twenty-five cent raise in Petersburg and ten cents raise by the board of commissioners, taxes will about reach the limit of the average man’s pocketbook next spring. Ac the June session of the commissioners claims to the amount of $10,18945 were allowed; at the August Session $8,519 35 was allowed; total, $18,708 59. At the June settlement ftiere was $9,533 57 of a balance in the treasury. It looks as if the county tvas running a little behind: * ___, - J^V ~—;—»»—: The people of Pike county are soaked another ten cents on the hundred dollars to raise more lands for'couuty purposes. Not more thau Eighteen months ago. there Was a little less than $18,000 surplus in the 6ounty treasury. At the present time county orders are floating. The editor of the News is fearful lest the town of Petersburg should take on a boom. It, is a fact the town heeds a little booming, and it needs it badly. The town needs factories to feive employment to the idle men and boys. It needs all this to put money in circulation. But the main object is to locate the factories. Work in harmony and bring about Urn result. The aveVage tax-payer never knows Hrhen he has enough of taxation. That’s a fact. The republicans of Petersburg1 will admit that. With a raise of forty or fifty cents ou the hundred dollars he is perfectly contented and walks up meakly to the polls and submits to high taxation, aud then after the election holds his hands up‘in perfect horror at the extravagancb iti (own and county aflairs. i . — Wash Carlisle, republican commissioner from the third district; has decided that the old jail shall stand as long as he is ori (he board. He contracted to rent it some months ago but for some reason or other the rente!* of the old trap has aot moved in. The people want'if torn down, and bv direction of Commissioner Weiton the job of getting it away has been commenced. The commissibn4?s hate locked home on the subject. ....•« .. -

-:—~~— rrrr-r— It la an accepted facit that the chief causes of typhoid and malarial troubled, so prevalent and fatal during the midauratuer season, are iimpure water, and careless disposition' of slopii and garbage. Bad drainage, or, as in Petersburg no drainage, might he named aa the prime source of these maladies. Petersburg la an old town and the accumulations of rnanv years' debris form the surface soil of the town. Under such conditions pure water cannot be hoped for except from deep driveu wells, until, after many years use of a scleutific and thorough sewage system, the soil poisoned earth shall have become renovated apd purified. And vet,' we have no doubt, there 'are those who will oppose the construction of such a system because it will cost money. The Pike county fair this year promises to be something more than a bill and pumpkin show—in truth, a grea t deal more. If every indication is not at fault, it will be one of the most successful exhibitions of the kind in the county’s history. The agricultural and the stock department will be far and away ahead of those of any former year, while the speed ring will offer some notable attractions. Here will be witnessed some admirable demonstrations of the grace beauty and speed of the noblest friend of hian. Motors may come and go, steam may be displaced and all the world go 'cycle-mad, yet the blue blood of the noble trotter will continue to pulse through his throbbing veins as he whirls about the magic circle amid the wild plaudits of enthusiastic thousands. Judge Moffett in the Sullivan county circuit court, has decided the legislative apportionment act of the late republican Indiana legislature null and void, holding that the act of 1895 repealing the act of 1893 reapportioning the state for legislative purposes, are both void, because under the constitution an apportionment act can be pissed only every six years. This is the position taken by every democratic member of the last legislature, and many prominent republican lawyers, including lion. Snnlev Chambers, President Harrison’s U. S. district at*6rney for Indiana. The decision of Judge Moffett was anticipated by the democrats. The case will now go to the supreme eourt,where it will no doubt be affirmed, bringing the next election of members of the legislature under the law 1893, which will be iu0force till 1897.— New Albany Ledger.

The price of wool is the republican stock argument now that calamity howiiug has become ridiculous. There is little else they can find fault with about the working of the new tariff. | The iron and steel industry wa6 never more prosperous, woolen and cotton manufacturers are more than satisfied and the record given in the cotton and wool reporter shows that during the first six months of 1895 one hundred-eiighty-four uew mills were built or budding in the woofenj. cotton, knitting and silk industries. The wearers of clothing greatly outnumber the owners of sheep, and the voters who appreciate better clothing cheaper as the result Df free wool schedule, wilPfar out number those who raise sheep. The republicans are welcome to all the capitol there is to be made out of this part of the new tariff, especially as it is always the republicans who claim that prices of raw materials are atiected by the tariff. : -- Prosperous limes. Reports from mills and factories in various parts of the country, particularly in the north and east, coutiuue to show an advauce iu wages. The increase of pay to workmeu are uot confined to any special industries. but they are, perhaps, most conspicuous io woolen, worsted, cotton and iron and steel mills. The number of factories which the advauce of wages has been ordered since the Wilson tariff became law far exceeds six hundred. Conservative estimates place the number of employes benefited by the iucreased wages or by the starting up of idle mills and the opeuing of new mills at 1,000,000. As a large proportion of tho&e operatives are beads of families, the widespread effect of advaucing the wages has already reached two or three millions of the laboring classes. Some of the ardent republican disciples of McKinleyism ar'e predicting that this notable iucreasc of wages is “a temporary thing.” But there is no indication of any new development to check or reverse the rise of wages. On’the contrary, the mills are generally reported to be Unprecedentedly busy and behindhand filling orders. The business outlook and the harvests are promising. So that there is every reason, to anticipate a coutiuuance abd wider spread of the prescut prosperity in all classes of the American i

For more than a year I was troubled with indigestion and stomach disorders. Various remedies which I tried gave me no relief, until one day last summer I was told by a brother drummer of the virtues of LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. 1 concluded to try it; and apa happy to say one box, coating only one dollar, entirely cured me. To those who suffer as I did I would strongly advise than to use LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. Yours truly, Jobk R. Stocks, State Agent Royal Powder Company.
