Kkt fik* «ountjj §m*mt ntr in. Mec. stoops* One Tear, In advance .. |1 00 Six Months, Id advance... 50 ■Entered at the postofflce In Petersburg for transmission through the mails as soeondolass matter. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1900. There are some people in Pike county who do not believe in fair elections. The ship subsidy bill of Mark Hanna will no go through, as will several other pet measures. The republicans of the state are having a mix*up over the next speaker of the house of representatives of the legislature. There are now live candidates for speaker. There is one item that the metropolitan papers leave out of their market reports and that is the price of 'slaves in the Sulu islands. The quotations should 15e given.

About the happiest people on earth are the manipulators of the trust combinations. They will have a four years lease of power i^rhich to fix prices to suit themselves^ At the recent election there were 5,000 votes cast for president. The constitutional amendments were voted against. Amendment No. 1 received 1,341 votes, and 2,185 against. Amendment No. 2 received 982, and 1,994 against. Till! trusts have commenced getting in their work. The meat trust of Chicago last Friday raised the price of beef, pork and mutton one cent per pound. This will net the trusts $39,000,000 during the coming year. Of course there are no trusts. I The democrats of Pike county put up a hard and clean fight on the day of election, and w’on out despite the dirty campaign methods used. Just to think that election tickets should be on the outside of the polls contrary to the laws of the state of Indiana. The Democrat is the biggest paper in the county and gives all the news .each week. The price is just the same as small papers, one dollar per year. Now is the time so subscribe and take a paper while you have lots of leisure time during the winter months. In the race between Peter Coble of Dubois county, and Frank Thomas of Pike county, for representative, the vote stood as follows: Coble. Thomas. Dubois countv .. . 307:1 130.' Pike county... .s. 2413 2381 5488 3686 Coble's majority, 1800. The vote for prosecuting attorney for this district between Leo H. Fisher, democrat, and Jay DeBruler, republican, resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the latter. The vote in/Dubois and Pike counties resulted as follows: Fisher. DeBrule. Dubois county..3000 1289 Pike county. 2420 2378 , 5515* 3057 Fisher's majority. 1862.

The rumor is printed that Mr. ,Bryan may enter the Presbyterian ministry. It is a remarkable fact that while Mr. Bryan has passed through the fiery ordeal of two political campaigns, absolutely nothing has ever been said against his high Christian character and sincerity of purpose. 'A man of his type would no doubt cause a rattling of dry bones in the ministry as well as in the field of political reform, , The official vote on congressman in this district shows that James A. Hemenway has been re-elected. Colonel Owen made a splendid face and gave the Boonville statesman the hardest fight he has ever had. The vote by counties it as follows: Hememvav. Owen. Pike. W Po ,ey. 7»; Warrick—.. H59 Gi bson... Spancer. VaaUerburg. no 103 901 100.‘ Hemenways s plurality, l:;(M Colonel Alfred Dale Owen, the late democratic candidate for congress has written the following letter to Hon. Clinton F. Rose, of Evansville, the district chairman, thanking the democrats of the distiict for the support given him during the campaign: „ Yourse of the 7 th instant at hand notifying me that I had lost by a small majority, a well merited race. Permit me to say to you, and through you, to the different county chairmen of the district that I consider the honor attached thereto belongs to you gentlemen and not to myself. In return I wish to say that my heart is overflowing with gratitude for the democrats who so nobly supported me, and I sincerely thanjk my kind republican friends who worked and voted for me, and I assure you ail that the kindness shown me in this recent contest shall be ever cherished in rov memory. Ever your Triend, Alfred Dale Owen.

GREAT CORN CROP. This Year's Crop The Biggest Yield; Ever Known in Indiana. Chief Statistician Conner has just finished tabulating the returns on wheat, corn and oats for 1900. He says the yield of wheat is the lowest known in forty years. „ There were 2,(>74,918 acres of wheat sown and only 974,034s acres harvested. The total yield in the state is but 7,840,947 bushels. Over twenty counties harvested no wheat at all, though the usual acreage was sown. The largest production of wheat was in the extreme northeast* ern and southwestern part of the state. About 42,000,000 bushels is the average corn crop in the state. The yield of corn this year is far the largest ever known. There were 4,005,760 acres planted. The average production of corn in the state is about 125,000,000 bushels. This year the yi^ld is 109,926,921 bushels. The largest former yield of corn was in 1898, when there were 151,000,000 bushels. The oats crop of this year also exceeds that of any other year in the history of the state. The average production.of oats is about 31,000,000 bushels. The acreage this year of oats was 1.485.004.

Question Answered. t Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendictis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate^ihe action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green’s August Flower, in ■liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Get Green’s Prize Almanac. Gains of Population. The total gain of population in the United States, including the territories^ and Hawaii, in the decade between 1890 and 1900 is put at 13,225,750. But in these ten years the immigration from abroad amounted to 3,872,729. If we deduct this we shall get a remainder of 9,353,027. But the number of immigrants thit entered the country by no means represents the whole of their contribution in the decade to the population. To reach this it would be necessary to add all the children of the immigrants born between the time of their coming to the taking of the census. There is no way of arriving at the number definitely, but there is no doubt that it was considerable. When the full census figures are in, perhaps it will be possible to make some plausible estimates. Large as was the immigration of the last ten years, it was much iess than in the preceding decade, when it reached the surprising number of 5,248,913. Thus there was in the decade a falling off of immigration amounting to 1,373,884. This is a considerable reduction, but no decade prior to that ending in 1890 showed so many immigrants as that ending this year. Following is a table of immigration for eighty years, which will be found interesting for comparlsiou: Number of Immigrants. 1820 to 1880. .... .,... 143.480 1*30 to 1340 . ..509,125 1840 to 1850.1,713.251 1850 to 1800. 2,579.580 1860 to 1870.2.278,425 1870 to 1880. 2,812,191 1880 to 1890. 5.240.613 1890 to |900. 3,872,729 This shows that in eighty years the immigration amounted to 19,245,393, and of these immigrants considerably more than one-fourth came in the decade ended in 1890 and one-fifth in the decade ending this year.

Spreads Like Wildfire. When things are “the best” they become “the best selling.” Abraham Hare, a leading druggist, of Belleville, O., *writes: “Electric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have handled in 20 years.” You know why? Most diseases begin in disorders of stomach, liver, kidney, bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence cures multitudes of maladies. It builds up the entire system. Puts new life and 1 vigor into any weak, sickly, run-j down man or woman. Price 50 cents.

Astounding Discovery. From Coopersville, Mich., comes word of a wonderful discovery of a pleasant tasting liquid that when used before retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough always insures a good night’s rest. “It will soon cure the cough too,” writes Mrs. S. Himelburger, “for three generations of our family have used Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and never found it’s equal for Coughs and Colds.” It’s an unrivaled life-saver when used for desperate lung diseases. Guaranteed bottles 50c and *$1.00 at Stearnes’ Drug Company. Trial bottles free. n A wise old gentleman in Petersburg, says that if a young man meets a girl with rosy cheeks who says, “I can't start for thirty minutes, yet, because I want to help mother do the t&shes,” he wants to sit right down on the door step and wait for the jewel. And he wants to stick to her like a burr to a mule’s tail. She is worth her weight in gold and much more worthy of your esteem than the simpering simpleton who gads the street solely to gab and flirt with every young man she meets. Every man, young or old, has an opinion of the girl who gads the streets, which he doesn’t always make public. Sixteen to one, such a girl will mako life miserable for the entire community by her shiftlessness and by her gossiping tongue. A girl unfaithful to her mother will never be worth a one-eyed button to her husband if she ever succeeds in getting one. The girl with sound sense, becoming modesty and a realization of her sphere of usefulness wins the kind of respect and admiration worth having. Always Make Love to your wife. Remember she is just as sweet and dainty now as when you used to hold her by the hand and look into her eyes and tell her she was your only love, your heart’s delight. Half J the petulance and distress that makes you so irritable comes from indigestion, You can cure it by taking Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Is is guaranteed by Oliphant drug company, n
