""- After beiutr mure than twenty years in office it has been discovered that Ainsworth It. Spottord, librarian of congress, is $35,000 or more, short in his accounts, and that if he knew |iow to keep books he kept them in such a way that neither heads nor tails can l>e made of them. The wholesale slaughter of decrepit and often diseased horses in and about Chicago to he palmed off on an unsuspecting public as canned meat is once more attracting the attention of the newspapers, and will in time, it is hoped, be brought to the attention of the health authorities of the western metropolis. Mark Twain’s riches have taken wings and now at sixty he finds himself head over heels in debt. He lost his money in a publishing house. lie will take the lecture field to make money to pay his creditors. Those who have read his charming sketches hope he mav succeed in making another “barrel.” It is rather too much, however, to hope that he may marry another rich girl. °

Towns to grow an<l prosper should have factories. What Petersburg wants is several small factories to , give idle men employment the year round. Petersburg has the capital and also the men who could successfully engage in the manufacturing business with profit to themselves and the welfare of the town. The only question is will they do it. The pEMOfHAT believes they will. In a fdw months more politics in |*ike couuty will begin to boil. The republicans are already at work making out a state ticket to be nominated at the primary next spring. The ring is going to see the ticket made out wins- Logan township has only four candidates for sheriff and several school districts yet to hear from. The other townships have several candidates each for the same plum, while for the other offices the woods are full of candidates. Americans abate nothing of their respect for the advice of Washington and Jefferson about avoiding foreign alliances, when . they wish their government to be in the fight for the safety of Christians in Armenia and \lhina. The nations which profess Christianity will be disgraced until every spot on the earth ft free from persecution on account of christain faith. It the Emperor and the Sultan must go, the United States should he among the first to say so. m The Warsa w' (Ind ) Times says that a farmer of that county who threshed 1,060 bushels of wheat from 44 acres of land “kept a correct account nf/all the expenses for preparing the ground cutting, threshing, and delivering the wheat to the elevator, and finds the costs for raising the crop to be cents per bushel.This is much less than the common estimate of the cost of raising wheat, and if correct, would imply that the Kosciusco county farmer’s expenses were much below the average. If farmers would keep accurate accounts of the cost of rafting each crop, they would soon have a mass of statistics that would of great Value.

Ex-Gotkknor Alrkkt G. Pokier white in New York a few days ago »**<! in an interview with a New York Tribune editorial writer, that it was hilt opinion that “Governor Claude Matthews, of Indiana, will have thf solid Indiana delegation for thf presidency by the next democratic national convention; and V say thh because he is popular and has been prudent,” Every Indiana democra! of any influence or standing in thf party favors Governor Matithew'c nominal ion. I _ The decision of the superior conri of Va inter burg county, if sustained by the supreme court, will relieve all cities and incorporated towns from the payment of township taxes. The ^suit was brought by residents of the city of Evansville, who claimed that the residents of an incorporated city were not liable for the taxes levied by the trustees of the township within which the city] is located. The superior court held the claim good and granted an injunction restraining the trustees from levying township taxes upon property within the city limits. _ Next Tuesday the township trustees will meet in this city to elect a county superintendent of schools for the corning two years. The political status of the board stands four republicans and five djemocra‘8, which insures the election of a democrat for superintendent of the schools. For this position there are now five candidates. .Those in the field are William Corn and Cj. P. Barrett o! Lockhart township, Perry A. Chappell of Jefferson township and John B. Blaize of Logan township, the present incumbent. The several candidates are teachers in the public schools of the county and have been for several vears. ■H5——55SHSH555W5 If Petetersburg is to prosper there will have to bo a united effort on the part of the business people of the place and that in the right direction. It must be along the line of bringing in, not driving out. For our business people to unite on prices to pay for the lartu products and put those prices two and three cents lower than the surrounding towns pay, is not iu any way helping Petersburg. Pay the farmers the highest market price for what he has to sell. And he in turn buys his flour, groceries, drygoods and other needs of you. Thus traffic is increased, the town shows an activity in business; and the people in general catch the inspiration and instead of the old talk of past prosperity and present death begin to sound the activity and progress of our town and people, inducing others who are accustomed to going to any other markets to come to Petersburg.

The Bedford Mail says that the apple crop in Southern Indiana is so large that much of the early fruit will hardly pay the cost of picking aud marketing. Of the latter crop many will be converted iuto “apple jack/ There are twenty-seven licensed fruit distilleries in that internal revenue district, many of which have already arranged to start, and there are some “moonshing” distilleries in the hills of Crawford and Orange counties, which will probably start without asking anybody’s permission. The Mail says: O:: account of the failure of the fruit crop of several years past, no brandy has been made, and the natives have sadly missed their favorite drink.! A few gallons were carried over, but the quantities were small and did not afford that abundance necessary to the demand of the hardy hill dwellers, who were compelled to fall back on whisky when a stimulant was required. The favorite drink, however, in the rural districts of Southern Indiana is the fiery apple jack. It is hoped that the fruit growers in the hill counties of the state will market at least a fair proportion of the apple prop. It apple jack is a necessity of life to them, they should remember that other people want apple pie.__ English Salviii Liniment removes all hai-d, soft or calloused lumps and blemishes from horses, blood spavins, curbs splints, swoeney, ring-bone, stifles, sprains, all swollen throats, coughs, etc. Save $50 by use of one bottle.

Canadian 1 histles. The following letter was received by a Wabash man who wrote to state Geologist Blatchler asking in what manner the Canadian thistle could be exterminated: Indianapolis, Ind„ July 20,1895. Dear Sir—\ ours of the 16th iust., at hand. Mow your thistles close to the grouud before any seeds have matured. Mow again twice before November 1. They are bieuttiai, and the leaves manufacture food which is ftored upin the roots, to glye the plant a start in the spring. If no seeds are allowed to ripen, and the leaves are not allowed to grow any length of time, the plant will die out fer want of nourishment. Send me leaf from plant, perhaps it is not Canada thistle, Yours truly, W. S. Blatchley. According to this theory simply mowing the thistles before seed matures will not destroy it, and as the plant lives two years the close cutting will have to be pursued for at least that time: While searching for the Canadian thistle the farmers will do well to give the common thistle a little attention. They are growing raak iii many places and even now the seed,’ enclosed iii downy fleeces, are wafted over the country by every breath of air. It would be a good idea for every person to uproot thistles of every kind wherever he sees them. In this manner the country could be rid of the pests. Subscribers who do hot give notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue their subscriptrom year to year. - If subscribers move to other places without notice to the publisher or post master and the papers are sent to the former address they are responsible. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it whether lie has ordered it or not, is considered a subscriber. If subscribers pay in advance they should give notice to the publisher at the end of-the- time it they do uot wish to continue taking it. It is a common law existing in every state that any person or persons t receiving any article or persons making use of the same is liable for payment. The law does not recognize dissatisfaction as an excuse for nonpayment of the subscription of any book or newspaper. - # Notice to the publisher that papers are no longer wanted and will not be paid for, does not relieve the subset ibers from the responsibility until the full amount of the yearly subscription is paid.

a aeitsiDie i.nw, The new law concerning the township trustees’ aid for poor persons will probably have the effect to correct many abuses and extravagances in the conduct of this branch of the trustees’ business. Under the operation of the new law the trustees must keep a record of all persons to whom he extends public aid. A detailed report of each case must be kept in the trustee’s office, and at the end of each quarter a copy sent to the state board of charities. This record most contain the name of the person to whoiq aid is given, the amounts and dates when orders are given, the age, sex, color, occupation, nativity and in fact a complete history ot the case. One object of these reports is to ascertain the number of foreign-born persdns in the state who appeal for public aid, and questions covering this point are asked. It is believed that the effect of the new law will be to cut down the expenses in this particular arm of the public business, and prevent many unworthy persons from applying for aid from the county. ^“1 think the condition of the democratic party in the whole country today is remarkable strong, even stronger than it has been since the war.” “Why?” “Because for the first time since the war it has a record to stand on. It has done something. In spite of an extremely high tariff public revenues were failing and the republican party has proved itself absolutely irresponsible by its extravagance. The socalled prosperity of the country was fostered by a tariff which grauted enormous profits in spots and the same time stifled general competition and depressed individual enterprise. A crash was inevitable. The Cleveland adminis« t rat ion met the crisis which the republicans had envaded. The republicans created the difficulties and tne j Cleveland administration has solved “them.”—Interview with William C. Whithey. j Dr* Price’s Cream Baking Powder Most perfect Made,
