Jos. T. Magner, our former townsman, was nominated last Saturday for re-eleo-Uon to the office of City Clerk of Indianapolis. His popularity over there Is attested by the fact that his nomination was by acclamation, having no opposition, and a nomination is equivalent to an election.

There is one thing that no housekeeper should fail in doing this spring, and that is to look at the elegant furniture and learn the prices at R. Foster A Son's north Fourth street.

Peter Miller, on south Forth street, is manufacturing largely Saddles and Collars, which with a full line of Saddlery Hardware he offers the trade at the lowest wholesale prices. ^s

Three times within as many weeks has J. P. Brennan, the merchant tailor, got is new lots of piece goods for gentlemen's wear. The third lot came in yesterday. In Mr. Brennan's stock there are no two pieces alike, and his must be a very capricious taste that cannot be suited in the many style* and figures. As to the price, Mr. Brenntn'a low prices 8?Y®r

She met him at the door and ushered him in then she said: "The weather has changed rather suddenly." "Yes, got damp quick," he replied, and to this day he cannot account for her leaving the room so unceremoniously, and the "old man" appearing and conducting him out, but he or any other reader of this item can account for the growing popularity of T. W. Duvall's grocery house, just south of the postoffice, if they will call there and inspect his goods, sample his prices, and enjoy the courteous treatment given every patron of the bouse.

There is much difference of opinion on the donation to the new railroad and the building of anew court house, but there is no question that Richard Dahlen, No. 11 south Fourth street, can please all who call for dressed poultry, bulk and can oysters, chow chow, bulk and bottled catsup, new hams, breakfast bacon, shoulders, buckwheat flour, apples, dried fruits, oyster bay asparagus, olives, smoked halibut, canned trout, mackerel, salmon, and a choice line of oanned vegetables and fruits at low prices. Try his "Judge" cigar, the best 5 cent cigar in the city.

An exchange tells of a young lady who, six months after a happy marriage, on being asked if she was much troubled with cold feet, simpered hesitatingly, and with ingenuous simplicity replied: "Ye-yes but they're not my own." If that young husband had bought his boots at A. H. Boegeman's, on Fourth street, three doors south of Ohio street, this young wife would not have had this cause for complaint. The best goods, honest work, for the lowest living prices, have made Mr. Boegeman's boot and shoe store and manufactory the popular resort for people in this city and vicinity forgood foot wear.

give the utmost

batigf&ction. The intelligence and taste of a city is judged greatly by |its bookstores. Visitors are favorably impressed with our city when they drop into Button A Co's, Central Bookstore and seethe tables and shelves so well filled with standard books as well as the latest publications. Then there is the artistic display of pictures in oil, chromo, steel plate and photographs, the pretty table and mantel ornaments, the new and nobby stationery, Ac. In addition there can be found there a full line of blank books and commercial stationery.

In Washington a white man passing along the street brushed against a colored man engaged in putting in coal, and, after exchanging a few words with him, drew a pistol and shot him dead. The jury, after first voting 9 to 3 for the insanity dodge, finally agreed upon a verdict of manslaughter only. This is as bad as Kentucky insanity.

Charles Clarkson, a railroad engineer, •living in Chicago, was young, handsome, and the object of much admiration from the opposite sex. His wife was ugly, and she believed, mistakenly or not, that the vide difference in their personal appearance prevented him from loving her. She resolved to kill him but the druggist whom she asked for strychnine, suspecting her motive, gave her some harmless substance instead of the poison. Failing in her attempt at murder, she changed her plan to that of ruining his good looks. While he was asleep she threw vitriol into his face, disfiguring him terribly.

Col. Tom Buford, the Kentucky assassin of Judge Elliott, is still in a lunatic asylum, where he was sent after his ao (juittal. The physicians of the institution say that he has a growing mental malady, probably softening of the brain but the Colonel himself says: "Lunatic, the devil! I'm no lunatic. Your own mind is not one whit better balanced than mine at this moment. The plea of insanity in my case was simply adopted to cover the great crime of the court. I wanted to try the case upon its merits. I made the issue with my life in the balance, and 1 would have laughed at a death sentence." He looks robust and talks connectedly.

Our Loss

For while this bad weather continues we are unable to work on the extension to our store, and while we are in our present shape we will continue the present low prices on Dry Goods and Carpets.

We are fearfully crowded for room. Every nook, shelf counter, and even the floor is full.

To hold asocial position in New York you need $50,000 a year. A man with a scolding wife, being asked what his occupation was, replied •hat he kept a hot house.

Three little words occur in nearly all biographies or obituaries of public men. They are, "He read law."

took a vow not to cut it until he had accumulated $8,000, already hangs below his coat collar.

An Atlanta father forced his daughter, at the revolver's mouth, to disclose the name of her seduoer. He then took the train for Charlotte and converted Fred Harper into a corpse. "Twenty cigars a day," says the Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald, "and the various other excesses in which a man of bis temperament was predestined to indulge were quite too touch for Senator Carpenter's store of vitality."
