AiMHtmwt. Klorian Barti ot Jefisrson township, is a candidate for county recorder, subject to the decision of the democratic nominating eonvolition. 4 It has bteu the prevailing custom among the people for years to make a change of dress from the winter style to that of the „ spring fashions on Easter Sunday, that being the day generally set apart to '‘break in” as it wore a new dress or suit of clothes, ao it is this day with Tax Democrat, which goes forth to its readers with a change of face of type in its columns. The type which has been used on the paper has seen sendee for many years and at limes could not easily be read, but with the change today our readers will readily see the clear print and neatness with which this issue is printed. The paper will contain more reading-matter hereafter, which will no doubt please the thousands of readers ^ all over the county. With this change the paper is addressed with a mail' ing machine which neatly prints the name on the paper. These improvements in Thb Democrat have been long contemplated, but matters have been such that they oould not be made until the present time. As a local newspaper The Democrat was placed in the front rank by hard work upon the part of the publisher and those who have been at its Helm in the past. From week to week it has given the happenings of the county until it has become recognised as the leading local paper of Pike* county and which honor it hopes to merit through coming years.

In tbis connection we desire to thank the people of Petersburg and Pike county for their very liberal patronage, and hope to receive a continuance of the same in the future. Yours to Please. The Ptbushw. MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE. • Notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee at Winslow on Saturday,. April 18,1896, at one o'clock n. m. for the purpose of preparing for the dlnpaign, and for transacting such other business as may be properly brought before it. The new members of the committee are Jesse Thomas, Jefferson; James R. Williaihs, Madison; Robert II y win an. Clay; Edward Beck, Logan; Fred Butler, Monroe; Sasser SulliTan, Mahon; J. A. Whitman, Patoka:j Dan C. Ashby, Washington, and O. J. j Green way, Lockhart. All democrats are cordially invited to be present and take part In the meeting. W. J. Richaedsos, M. McC. Stoops, Chairman, J Secretarv. April 7, 1896. . — - ... Tat Hon,. John G. Carlisle has written a! letter declining to be a candidate for the | presidency before the national democratic convention. Cosgkbss has made a magnificent appropriation of |3,500 to improve White river. This wjll last about as long as an icyde on the 4th day of July. Kx-Pubsuhett Haeusos and Mrs. Mary Lord Pimmick were married Monday in New York City. They are now at home to friends in Indianapolis. If the municipal elections held last Tuesday in Ohio and Michigan the democrats made substantial gains, carrying many towns that have heretofore given republican majorities. With the large number of attaches about the court house and jail it is a wonder that some one of them will not grease up the poor* old wind engine on the court house square. It still squeaks. Sixes Jimmy Watson's defeat for the republican nomination for congress in the Sixth district by Henry U. Johnson a number of his friends want him to run for governor or secretary of state. Well. well. The republican county primary election eras held yesterday according to program. We go to iweas this week too early to give the result, but the people of this city are weD satisfied as to who the nominees will Tn stale board of chanties has taken the sensible view of the fool law-one of number k«» fool laws—paaerd by the last legislature requiring prisoners upon their release from the penitanUartM of the stem to be returned to the counties in which their conviction for crime was had. The board is strenuously opposed to the law and points out many of the objections urged by the newspaper press at the time of its passage fTndar this law the prisoner is brought back

to tbs county from which ha was sent to prison and then released at the jail door, often without money or friends. The board holds that if his home is in the county in which he was convicted this need can usually be met without hardship. If, however, as is frequently true, the prisoner’s home is elsewhere, the conditions of his release are most severe. Penniless, recognised in the community only as a criminal, distrusted on all hands by those with whom he comes in contact, unable to obtain employment, likely to be arrested at any time for vagrancy or on suspicion of being implicated in crime, it is not strange that he becomes desperate andreckless and resorts at times to questionable or illegal means of relieving his distress. This state cannot afford to surround anyiof its citizens with conditions which naturally tend to lead to crime or wrong-doing. The trial and temptations which men must meet in the ordinary affairs of-life are sufficient to drive many to the violation of law. The statute under consideration, aimed as it is at the | weakest members of the comunity, aggravates and magnifies the conditions under which men are most likely to fall. It seems a lit tle singular that in this day I and age that people should not know that | great and well known men of the United | State* wh o have passed to the great beyond. The newspapers of Pike county keep well up with the times in announcing the deaths of { men of national reputation. But to illustrate, a few days ago several republicans were talking politics and the question of a j republican candidate for ' the presidency came up, when one of the aforesaid republicans mid it was no use to talk about winj ning unless Jim Blaine was placed at ‘the | head of the ticket. This feHow hadn't j heard of the death of the great Maine statesman, and those to whom he was talking n«Ter said a word. That man should subscribe for the News or Press at onoe and post up. The supreme court issued an order in the apportionment litigation last week at Indianapolis, requiring the democrat attorneys to file briefs in support of their motion to discuss the suits in 10 days and denying the petition of the republicans to dismiss the motion. *A counter affidavit was filed by the republicans, in which they denied that there was any diversity of interest represented in. the suit, saying that question was one in which all the people of the state were interested and one in which any citizen might take the step that has been decided upon. The democrats believe that the order of the court means that theij charge of collusion has weight with the tribunal and they are much gratified over it. IS A CANDIDATE. The following card from Judge Ely was published in the Jasper Courier last week and explains itself: Eo^oa Cocant*:—It has been reported that I have withdrawn from tfie race for judge of this circuit. This is a mistake. I have not withdrawn from the race. On the contrary I am a candidate for judge of this | (Circ uit, subject to the decision of the voters at the polls in November. 1 am not in the primary to be held in Dubois county only on next Monday, because the central com

nuttee of this county adopted the umt rule, j aud fixed the time of holding the primary ' so soon after their meeting, and I have been busy in court every day since thej committee met and have not had any time at all to canvass the county. But, as before stated, I am and will be a candidate for; judge until the polls close next November. | I sincerely hope that the voters of Dubois county will remember me kindly and not believe any reports about my withdrawing from the race. I do not intend to withdraw. I would have gladly consented to a joint primary of the two counties—Dubois and Pike—but hare not been aide to bring about that desired method of choosing the | judicial candidates. That would have been fair to all parties concerned. All that I ask or desire, is that I may have a fair chance in the race. I believe that the people will grant me this at the polls. , , , E. A. Elt. AXLE GREASE FACTORY. There was organised in this, city last week a company to manufacture Hisgen’s axle grease, the capital stock of which is placed at $10,000. The directors and officers of the new company are George T. Frank, president; Carl Burger, vice-presi-dent; George B. Ashby, treasurer; W. A. Braden, secretary, and F. L. Hisgen, superintendent. The plant has been in operation at EvansTiRe for sometime and was operated by F. L. Hisgen, and operations will be continued at the same place by the j new company. The members of the new1 | firm are hustlers and will make a big go of the enterprise. y are progressive busir ! ness men and have long been identified in business circles in Petersburg. The axle grease has a big sals is this territory and is pronounced one of the fin- : ml articles in that line manufactured. The Dcmockat wishes the new firm success. A CITIZENS TICKET. . A number of the voters of the town met at the court house Monday evening and | nominated a citizens ticket to be voted for (it the May town election. Perry W. Chappell was chairman of the meeting and Will T. Mitchell secretary. Nominations be|ng in order, William Liibs was selected as trustee for the Third ward, Joseph Vincent for marshal, and Will T, Mitchell for clerk.

-- GEORGE H. SIPLE DEAD. George H. Sipie, who lived two miles west of this city, died last Sunday night at nine o’clock at the age of 82 years and eight months. The funeral services were conducted at the If. & church Tuesday afternoon by Rev. King of Evansville. In torment at Walnut Hills cemetery. The large audience room was completely filled with those who had come to pay their last respects to him who had lived among them for more than a quarter of a century. Mr. Sipie was an exemplary man, who was looked up to as a citizen in every sense the word implies.He was a farmer by occupation and owned one the best farms hi Pike county. He was a faithful friend to1 all who gained his friendship; be was char, itable to a great measure and relieved those who came to him for help.. George H. Siple was born in 1813 in Athens City, New York, and moved to Butler county, Ohio, with his mother when but eight years old, where he grew up to manhood. In 1835 he was married to Elizabeth Pike, with whom he lived happily for forty-three years, Mr*. Siple having died a number of years ago. To this union was born four children—two boys and two girls—two of whom, Orlando O. Siple and Mrs. James S. McCoy, survive. Mr. Siple with his family moved to Pike county in October, 1867. and resided here until the. time of his death. He was a prominent member in church work, being a member of the M. E. church of this place, although for several years on account of his health he was unable to attend the services. In politics he affiliated with the democratic party being a firm believer in the Jeffersonian idea of government, and in his younger days took quite an active part in the political contests in this as well, as other counties in which he lived. MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev. J, Gunder man, of Dimoodale Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no be*itatinn ! in recomending Dr. King’s New Discovery | as the resu'its were almost marvelous in the case of tyy wile. Whiie I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interuption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results.” Trial bottles free at J. R. Adams & Skm’s drug store. Regular size 50c and $1.00.

West Ya., contracted a severe cold which iett him with a cough.
