Petersburg will "be like j Princeton in a few months: No gas, but! **a hole in the ground.”—1ft. Vernon j Democrat. How ridiculous these items appear to' the people who are aware of the great gas pressure in this section, now and then in newspapers who know nothing about the territory but simply take the word of “town boomers” who were unable to get a “foothold” without putting up money. Say, Roche, come over and see the gas plant that is being put in at an expenditure of several thousand dollars.

HOST ATTEND SCHOOL Continued from First Page. at the secretary of state’s office it is said that the attorney-general advised the department to charge a fee of $5 for the first #50,000 of capital stock of an association and #30 for each succeeding #50,000 or fraction thereof. The demand of the Petersburg association was referred to the attorney-general. In its demand the association said the law clearly provided that the state should collect #5 for each #50,000 of capital stock. Upon the advice of the attorney-general the secretary of state will issue a charter on this basis. Three other building and loan companies have received charters and paid fees according to the attorney-general’s first interpretation of the law. In one instance the state will have to refund #65 collected from an association. The attorney-general, in his second opinion, holds that under the act which went into effect July t, the secretary of state shall charge #5 for each #50,000 of capital stock, and #5 for any surplus over the multiple of #50,000; and in addition the regular fee of #3 for recording. He holds, too, that increase in stock shall be regarded as original stock.

OLD TKOCBLE AG AIM. -QnA4Ic Over County Treasurers* Offices Causing Worry. Many of the old and newly elected county treasums of the state have applied to Attorney-General Ketcham and Secretary of State Owen, asking interpretation of the new law as to when their offices should change hands. The new law requires that all treasurers take their office on Jauuary 1. In sixteen counties of the state the terms of the treasurers have expired in the past month. There are about twenty-seven counties where the terms of the offices of the treasurers expire next month. In some of the counties the commissioners have selected either the retiring treasurer to fill the unexpired term or have named the treasurer-elect to serve the time. Secret arv Owen has issued commissions to the persons agreed upon by the county commissioners. AM IMrUSSIBIUTl. Aa Petersburg People Seldom Visit the Town of Washlugteu. It is told at the city hall that a Petersburg man was talking to one of the police Tuesday as the big parade passed up street. The fire eugine. all draped in the national colors, came along and he asked if it was'nt a ealiope. The policeman did not know what to say^as he thought the fellow was trying to have some fun out of him. The fellow looked so earnest that the policeman said yes. “And why don’t they play?*’ he asked. The policeman answered that the macadmixed -streets were so rough there that it would be impossible to play it until they reached the brick streets. The Petersburg man followed the eugine on up street and seemed to feel hurt that Charley Crosson would not play the machine.— Washington Herald. The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G.

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoe Remedy is the only sure relief. It acts like a charm. One dose of it gives relief when all other remedies fail.—G. D. Shaw. For sale by J. R. Adams A Son. a One of the old-fashioned methods of keeping a cool head in midsummer was to place a cabbage leaf in the crown of the hat. There was nothing frigid in the leaf of itself, and the reason why it was able to afford protection was not definitely known. Sinoe then we have learned a great deal more and now it is known that the X-rays of the sun cannot go through a cabbage leaf. Tou will occasionally find old-fash-ioned people wearing them yet, and while they are not able to tell you why, they will, nevertheless, aver that the cabbage leaf does a power of good. Thus man finds an effect years before he finds the cense thereof, and it is the effect he is after. Some people do not have to wear a cabbage leaf in their hats, because the Almighty pat a whole head there in the first place. Da Hat Be Imposed On. Always insist on getting Foley’s Hooey and Tar, as it is positively, absolutely and unqualifiedly the best cough medicine. Accept no substitute. Bergen ft Oiiphant. s

The Same... Old Sarsaparilla. That’s Ayer’s. The same old sarsaparilla as it was made and sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer 50 years ago. In the laboratory it is different. There modern appliances lend speed to skill and experience. But the ’sarsaparilla is the same old sarsaparilla that made the record—SO years of cures. Why don’t we better it? Well, we’re much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry: ** Doubtless, ” he said, '’God might have made a better berrv. But doubtless,

also, He never did." Why don’t we better the sarsaparilla? We can’t. We are nsing the «aiM old plan* that cured the Indians and the Spaniards. If has not been bettered. And since «re make sarsaparilla compound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making some secret chemical compound we might.... But we’re not. We’re making the same old sarsaparilla to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it’s the Mina old sarsaparilla because it works the same old cares. It’s the sovereign blood purifier, and—it*s Ayers. »ld j HXl | TRI-ST A/TE FAIR! EVANSVILLE, IND., September 20th to 24th, 1897 14 Trotting, Pacing and Running Races. 2 Roadster Races. 2 Mule Races.
