One thing is apparent, the city government costs too much. The city debt Increased over $76,000 during last year. The question ^suggests itself:

Sunset Cox lectured in the High school auditorium Tuesday evening to a large audience. His theme was upon mecban ical forces. The lecture was bright and exceedingly entertaining. The lecturer is justly entitled to his fame, judlng from the freshness of his discourses. Mr. Cox is a great man, but to a reporter of an exchange he said: "I have had a narrow escape from being President of the United States. If my mother hadn't refused the proffered hand of General William Henry Harrison I suppose I should be in the White House now. General Harrison asked my mother to marry him, and though he had won some fame at that time she gave him the mitten, and stuok to and Anally married the printer boy to whom she was engaged. See what a narrow escape I have had from being a groat man."
A special from Muncie says that' the largest gas well ever drilled in Delaware county was developed on the land of the Delaware County Land and Improvement Company, west of the city about one mile. The capacity is estimated at 12,000,000 cubic feet per day, and the flow of gas is so strong that the- drillers have found it next to impossible to pack it. Heavy weights pitched into the mouth of the six-Inch orfice are thrown up through the derrick, a distance of one hundred feet, with the velocity of a huge hall shot out of a cannon. Muncie is highly elated over the good results. This is the company of which J. Smith Talley, of this city, is vice president and other capitalists are interested. Ex-city engineer Grimes returned yesterday from Muncie, where he went to lay out lots for the company. In speaking of the well he said he attempted to throw a silver dollar into the 'well with as much force as possible. It was immediately hurled out to a great height.
