The elections of the present ye nr ami of lHb<‘> indicate clokrly Yubugli that an open aggressive out and out (Republican campaign, v. i!l easily carry nil the old reliably Kepublicau slates, and Indiana with the right ticket mid the right platforms, state and national, and! with Indiana we can elect a president without New York. In fact Indiana is coining to be generally j neknoti 1 edged ns the p votal state.’ i' '' »———’■»•*■ » i,i.i .j»y • 111 1 .H is now announced that the new Insane asylum, at' Logans- i port, will bo ready for the receph - tiou of piitiouts Jam try i. Some ; of the incurables now in oar comity poor bouse, will, undoubtedly,! be removed thither, on or about that date, w The scarcity of water for dome -- tally. becoming a more and more serionS problem, in many places. In the, north part of this county there is great complaint, and it is'reliably reported that many'cattle are already dying from want of good water to drink.

One of the companies, the Trento i rock, is aaid to have a contract for a second well and will proceed.to have it put down. The new wells were both bored south of town ami the New Era claims that this fact accounts for tbelt; f .dura tivtiad oik that paper holding to the opinion that the oil field lies northward, from FyancesYillo and that the-' well which struck oil la-t summer was about On the southern limits • J the oil beaming strata. ; Typhoid fever is no w exceedicgly prevalent in many parts of this state. The physiciaai attribute the cause to tiie great use of impure water, caused by the drouth, llensselacr will probably continue to be, as always, measurably free from this ,and'kindred diseases, owing to our : abundance id. pare water from tin* Htm stone rock b o'. neath us: but other parts of the county arg riot no fortunate, and Dot or by have ui il or es . : t\phoid fever already ogglusd, • s.peciaHy in the southern part of ■ the county, but h.<. r« is mud probability that the number of such crises w : I increase, it-r Vue, coming on of cold weather. In this connection we will re|*eat a suggestion often made by Jeadi::g . physicians to persons who are/ compelled to use water fr> m ar-j_ fac§ wells or other impure sources 4 and that is to drink none of the until after it has Wen boiled .
