The apple crop was larger this year than for many years and is being disposed of at remarkably low prices. In the southern part of the county and in Sullivan there was ad over-abundance of apples.

Inside getting a drink. The group became impatient at waiting, and repeatedly called to the friend Inside to como out. Exasperated he finally called from within: "Oh, let a fellow alone a minute. You're as bail as the man at the s]eakin', the more you talk the tess von say." ___
Burn the leaves in your yard and in the street in frontof your residence. By all means burn the leaves. Rake them in a pile but do no apply the match until the wind ia favorable and will waft the smoke In the direction of your neighbor's house. After having smoked out your next door neighbor continue the process upon others farther removed. Burn the leaves In the evening when there is not a great amount of air stirring so that the delightful scent maybe sniffled by the passers by and residents of the neighborhood, so that they may be lulled into dreams of the everlasting bonfire or something equally as harrowing. Burn the leaves but do not stop for a moment to consider the comfort of anyone about you.
Work at the government building has been rushed of late, so that the contracts may all be completed by the 5th of Novemtar.

One of the local Democratic campaign orators was recently in one of the neighboring counties for the purpose of making a speech. A Republican politician of the city where the meeting was held had opened his bdlteries and some of the Democrats were anxious to have the Terre Haute speaker assail him. ''You must lash him," insisted a few. It became noised about that the Republican was to be assailed. When he heard of the contemplated attack he was not the least disconcerted. "You can't tell me," said he, '-that Mr. So and So will abuse me. No, sir, he and I have played poker too often in Terre Haute. And theattacK was not made.
Dr. Hyde and T. W. Haymond went out to Sugar Creek township to make a speech several nights ago. On the way over they drove over an embankment in the darkness and mud. Th*y finally succeeded in getting the buggy back on the road way and proceeded. When they arrived* at the place of meeting they found the plaoe crowded. An old gentleman supposed no speakers were coming from the city and was addressing the multitude. He failed to recognize the doctor and the young attorney and continued

OBITUARY.
The death of Ross Gulick, only son of J. Frank Gulick and tto late Mrs. Isabel lo Gulick last Sunday morning, at the early age of 20 years, after a brief illness of typhoid fever is a griof unspeakable to those near and dear and a painful shock to the many friends of his esteemed father and of the estimable youth so suddenly called away at the beginning of a most promising career. Deprived of a mother's care and solicitude by the death of the late Mrs. Gulick several years since, Ross had developed into a manhood marked by qualities which won the esteem of those who met him and secured the confidence and trust of his associates. He had already mado a start for himself in the world, having two years ago taken a position under the directiou of bis relative, Mr. Horace Burt, at Boone, Ia., on the Chicago A Northwestern railroad, to be transferred later to Chicago. He showed self-reliance, industry, ability and thrift. As he had begun there seemed no question 6f his future as a successful man,of pure and elevated character. An Instance of his tenacity of purpose possibly hastened his sad, untimely death, for his Illness seised upon him several weeks since, but it was not until ten days before his death that he would give up and come home. His death came suddenly, from a complication of the fatal malady. The sympathy and intereat foe the bereaved father and sister are most profound and sincere.
The Rev. Mr. Dougherty preached the funeral sermon on Tuesday morning. The services were hugely attended by the many Mends of the deceased. Ed Waters, A. I* Wyeth, Arnold Layman, Ralph S] fks, Cooper and Jfchn Mack w«w®tbe p*

Then tho two made a bow, said a few words and returned. The doctor says he thought be was going to have his first case a- coroner when they pitched over the embankment but neither was hurt.
Old Andy Hale, who is decrepit notwithstanding his name, was again in the hands of the police this week. The old sinner is oti the brink of the grave but the beyond does not terrify him in his pilferings. Over 20 years ago Judge Mack defended Hale. He leceived a sentence uud a few years later was again sent to the penitentiary. Over a year ago Judgo Mack released hiin. He was held for larceny. In a short time he returned here and again stole some articles. He secured his freedom through the judge He is consumptive and the court refuses to send him to prison to die. When he was taken to police headquarters to the surprise of all he got into a political discussion. The little old man told all about the Mills bill and the Senate bill. He was arrested for stealing a coat, and it was an amusing yet pitiable sight to see the poor old kleptomaniac talk tariff and how it affected the laboringman and capitalist.
"There is a factor of safety in tho nowState Normal building of eight," re^" marked a gentlemen quite familiar with the building and building materials the other day. The silence of the writer led him to continue on the subject: "I mean by that, Architect Jenney is making the now building just eight times as strong as is necessary. Be has calculalated as nearly as possible what the strain on the building would be when-' ft Is taxed to the maxtmura, apdhasproyicU ed for strength to* support oight times" this strain. Take a single iron column or support of any kind for example. He has determined closely the greatest weight that will ever be imposed on it, and has then put just eight timos tho necessary amount of material in It. This is mado necessary by the fact that it is still impossible to tlud out enough about the materials to know just what strain a given amount of this material can be depended on to do the work required. All architects and builders employ this factor. Some use a factor as high as ten, others employ but five. Ten is eonsidored a little higher than is generally required, while five is looked upon as a little to small.

Hani ns all over the world and have playt-tl "Le Vogageen Suisse" in French, Spanish, German and Italian. The most notable mechanical effects of the production will be the up-setting of the stagecoacl filled with passengers, funny scenes in a sleeping car, and a sensational railroad explosion. A well-known New York critic says: "Le Voyage en Suisse" a bright sunshine of music, with no end of comical situations."

On her return to New York, Mrs. Fiske addressed to Mr. Rankin through the Now York Mirror, an open letter, a scorching part of which is as follows: "Goon, old man, in your gay career. There are lots of bowlders across your rocky road at present. It's sunset and shady night you are approaching. The obstructions will grow greater and the ability to avoid them decreaso. You'll sit down on a fnllon tree with cried loaves piled high about you one day. Yon will see the places in the road where companions turned off and left you. You'll be led by the smoke of some far off chimney to think of the home and hearth yon doserted so long ago. Through solfisli tears of regret for lost comfort, you will see the delightful place I visited last week, and you'll probably head for it with all the speed your shaky old legs can make, and Kate will take yon In, no doubt, and coddle yon, and you'll have just as good a time as If you'd been the stay, pmp and guardian angel of the place for twenty years. So retributive justice ain't much, after all, for man."
