When you want a blank book of any description, you can get it at Button «fe Ox's Central Bookstore, where a big stock Is always to be found. A specialty is made of this line of goods, and the aim is to keep everything that may be oalled for. So also in commercial stationary, the Central has long been noted as up with the times, and taking the lead. And the ladies scarcely ever if think of going any where else for the ilatest styles in elegant stationery.
General Sherman is said to have a fear that he will be the next of the war heroes to go.
Dr. Withrow, formerly of Indianapolis, now of Chicago, preaches in a Genevan gown of black rep silk with a heavy velvet collar.
Professor Foster the Iowa weather prophet advises ice-dealers to put up ice this winter for next, which will be an open winter.
Dr. Brown-Sequard is quoted as saying that one has only to harden the neck and feet and destroy their sensitiveness to prevent taking cold.
The Rev. E. H. Byington, of the Congregational Church of Monson, Mass., is being investigated for having jilted one of the ladies in his congregation,

Colonel Ingersoll says that in the United States Senate Roscoe Conkling would occupy the srfme position to the Senate that New York does to the Union, but his law practice is too great-for him to accept the election if tendered him.
Joseph Monroe, of Utica, talks warts off the hands. He claims to have removed 500 warts the last year. He places a linger on the wart and then talks some time to the patient. In a few days the wart is gone. Palmistry is only an ornamental accomplishment compared with such skill as this.
When Anthony Defrees was published the South Bend Register, he got out an almanac, and made up the conjectures of the weather for each day. For a certain day in February he could think of nothing to predict, so he wrote: "A good night for coons," and so it proved to be, as large numbers of them were caught on that night. Ever afterward Mr. Defrees was looked upon as more reliable as a prognosticator than "Old Probabilities" himself. y.
Forty years ago Thomas Pitts, of Warwick, N. Y., a shoemaker, made a pair of shoes for a widow, who died before the bill of 91.75 was settled. Her son, who administered on the estate, refused to pay the bill, and soon the family became separated. Last week Mr. Pitts received a letter from the executor, inclosing $5 to pay for the shoes, adding that he wanted it off his mind, as he was growing old. Mr. Pitts had not thought of the bill for thirty-live years.
HOW THEY GO TO BED.* An eastern paper doubtless edited by a bachelor, claims that when it comes to going to bed a man has the advantage. It says "he can undress in a cool room and have his bed warm before a woman has her hairpins out and her shoes untied." "O, yes!" exclaims a married woman who has had experience. "Yes, yes that is how it looks in print, but this is how it looks in reality." And then this woman goes on to explain matters. We let her tell the story in her own suffering way. Hear her: "I am going to bed, my dear it is 10:30." No reply. "Now, John, you are always late in the morning. Do go to bed." "Yes. in a minute," he replies, as he turns tne paper wrong side out and begins a lengthy article headed "The Louisiana Muddle." Fifteen minutes later she calls from the bedroom: "John, come to bed and don't keep the gas burning here all night," and murmuring something about "the bill being big enough now." she creeps between the cold sheets, while John sits placidly on, his feet across the piano stool and a cigar in his mouth. By and by he rises, yawns, stretches himself, throws the paper on the floor and proceeds to that vigorous exercise, shaking the coal stove. Just at this stage a not altogether pleasant voice inquires: "For pity's sake, ain't you ready for bed get?" "Yes, yes, I'm coming why don't you go to sleep and let a fellow alone?" Then he discovers there is coal needed. When that is supplied and rattled into the stove he sits down to warm his feet. Next, he slowly begins to undress, and, as he stands scratching himself, and absently gaxing on the last garment dangling over tne back of the chair, he remembers that the clock is not wound yet. When this is attended to he wants a drink of water, and away he promenades to the kitchen. Of course, when he returns his skin resembles that of a
K'cked
chicken, and once more he seats mself before the fire for the last warm up. As the clock strikes twelve he turns out the gas, and with a flop of the bedclothes and a few spasmodic shivers he subsides—no, not yet he forgot to see if the front door was locked, and another flop from the bed-clothes brings forth the remark: "Good gracious, if that man ain't enough to try the patience of Job!" Setting her teeth hard, she awaits the final flop, with the accompanying blast of cold air, and then quietly inquires if he is settled for the night, to which he replies by muttering: -'If you ain't the provokingest woman.^^^
Largest in the World!
The income of the Phenix Insurance Company of Brooklyn was $16,800 per day in 1886, being the largest of any Fire Insurance Company in the World, 1 he Premiumft last year for Indiana alone were over •200,000, being about one-twelfth OF THE ENTIRE BUSINESS OF THE STATE. This speaks volumes for the popularity of the eompanv, especially among those people who "want insurance that insures."

I [Hutchinson Dally News, 10th.] SOUTH HUTCHINSON ITEMS.
We are fast attaining metropolitan airs now. The South Hutchinson Leader, a weekly newspaper, will make its first appearance next week under the management of Messrs. Lightwalter A Fosnot.
The seats for our new school house have just arrived, and will add greatly to the beauty, not to say anything about the convenience, of our school.
Arrangements are now being perfected for a bank to be put in immediately We have an excellent opening, and a bank will do a good business.
A hack line has just been put on and will make regular trips between Huteh inson and South Hutchinson. The headquarters are at the Inter-State Investment Co's. office at No. 12, North Main street.
The contract has been let to commence boring for coal next week. We are con fident that South Hutchinson is underlaid with coal and we intend to demonstrate that fact.
One of our young men who |was recently married, says that married life is a success and wants somebody to kick him for not improving the opportunity years ago.
Ben Blanchard, the president of our town company, has been making several trips to St. Louis, Chicago, and other points recently, and there seems to be something of a mystery connected with them. Then, too, he has been offered $45,000.00 for a 51 per cent, interest in one-half section of land adjoining the town site on the east, by a syndicate, which is also surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere. Of course we don't know, but we'll gamble that Ben is working up some gigantic scheme that is coming to "head" real soon. Look out for it.
The trustees for the Methodist church located the building on lots IB, 15 and 17, Ave. D, east, and a $6,000 brick edifice is to be erected immediately.
The barbed wire factory is now completed and will commence operations Monday, with a force of 35 or 40 men. And still we boom.
Inside of the next ten days there will be three large manufactories locate in South Hutchinson from Cincinnati, O., representing $50,000.00 each. How is that for a genuine boom?
Mr. J. P. Theobald will go to St. Louis soon for the purpose of purchasipg a steam brick machine. The increasing demand for brick in South Hutchinson has made this necessary.
Dr. R. H. Chittenden's new two story brick block will soon be in course of erection. The material is now being hauled, and when completed will be a beauty in design. This is only a specimen of tho blocks that will go up in South Hutchinson this season.
Yesterday the first election in South Hutchinson was held. Everything passed off very quietly. A light vote was polled and the following is tke result: Mayor, Dr. R. H. Chittenden Police Judge, J. A. Quick Councilmen, J. McFarland, N. R. Williams, J. N. Conley, J. Holloway, L. T. Williams.
The new city officers will at once take steps toward putting the city on a solid foundation, and they all have the kind of snap that makes things boom.
