A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MISSING WORD CONTEST. The great fad nowadays is the missing word contest, and The Wail has determined to give its readers an opportunity to try it. The explanation and sentence will be found on the tirst page of this issue. The sentence is taken from the bible, because it is a volume to be found in every family, consequently any person can hunt up the missing word. The ftd originated in England some time ago, and at a rccent contest there, no Jens than 200,000 answers were sent in. In the east it is also quite popular, and it ought to be popular here. The Mall's offer is quite liberal and you should give it a trial.

Ho was a native of Fairfield county, Jhio, where he was born October 4, 1820, Iteing the second son of Henry and Harah Gllck, both natives of Ohio, and where he resided until September, 1S47, when he came to this city, which has been hi« home ever since, and where ho was ougaged in business until 1869, when he removed to his farm on which he died. At the age of eighteen years he became a member oT the Lutheran church, but finding no branch of the English Lutherans here he became Identified with tho Baptists. On May 20, 1847, ho was united in marriage to Margaret Drake of Fairfield county, Ohio, who died hero July 18,1881. The result of this union was eight children, four of whom survive, viz.

Tho funeral took place at the family residence at two o'clock last Tuesday afternoon, the Interment being In Woodlawn.

One day last week some enterprising correspondent telegraphed from Clinton to this city a story that Mrs. S. E. Wishard, at the age of sixty-two years, had become the mother of twins. The special described tho father, S. E. Wishard, as a man of seventy-seven, and gave quite a sketch of his career, from his birth to the present time. The story was a good one and had a wide circulation, north, south, east and west. It originated In a story which appeared in the Clinton Argus the week before, stating that the old gentleman had found twins at his home the other day. The twins, however, were calves and Mrs. Wishard is hopping mad. There is a faint suspicion that Nixio Yergin has strayed away from home and found refuge at Clinton.

The oldest dry good* house in the city is that of Hoberg, Root A Co., and its growth has been identified with that of the town, until to-day it is one of tho leading emporiums of its kind in the state. It may not be goneraliy known to its patrons that tho iirra also conducts a large wholosale establishment on north Sixth street. The latter is now being greatly enlarged, its present dimensions having been found too small for the demands mado upon it. The storage room is being materially increased, new and commodious sample rooms are being made, and a number of now lines will be added. The improvements will be completod by Docomber next, when extra traveling men will be put on the road, and the'liouso confidently expects to double Its business.

On Thursday morning when the county olerk'a office was opened Alvin E. Marshall, of Effingham, 111., and Miss Ada Ray were found impatiently waiting for a marriage license. They were accompanied by Miss Ray's brother and his wife. It appears to have been a runaway match, as tho parties had been to Jasper county before comiug here, but "because the bride was uuder seventeen years old they were refused a license there. Her brother, however, made an

__ affidavit that her pn re tits were willing also the largest number ever graduated Sand a license was issued here. Justice oiroumstance, and a company is now or

The city was the victim of another disastrous fire on Thursday. The alarm was turned In a few minutes after eleven o'clock in the morning and by noon the elegant bath house owned by David Bronson, near the Union Depot, was burned down. How it started no one knows, and by the time the fire department reached the buildings the entire roof was in flames, and the progress of the conflagration was not checked until all the damage had been done. The loss is fully 830,000 and the insurance $12,000. Tho premises were the largest, most complete and best in the state, and the loss in business during the summer season will be almost as great as the loss on the buildings. It is not known yet whether they wlU be rebuilt.

The real estate market continues to boom in this locality. James Hunter purchased this weok tho Kellar property on the northeast corner of Sixth and Cherry streets, which has a frontage of seventy-five feet on the latter, running back to the alley, the consideration being fl2,000. Mr. Hunter will probably erect a handsome business block on it this season. Another improvement soon to be commenced is a three story business block on Ninth and Chestnut streets, by C. W. Mancourt, It has also been given out that W. R. McKeen will add two stories to his Main street property, which has a frontage of about 300 feet west from Seventh street, making the block five stories high and the handsomest in town.

The governor received the receipt of fie last county clerk accepting the official copy of the acts of the last legisturo on Thursday, and at 12 noon, sharp, the same day, he promulgated his pro clamation to the state department the act* in full force. The last county to report wa9 Marion. The event for which the Republicans of the state have been waiting has at last transpired, and it will now cause earnest attention to be paid to that act known as the apportionment law, better known as the gerrymander, The Supreme court will again be asked to construe what the constitutional limits are to the power to curtail the equal right of suffrage under which the people of the state have been supposing themselves to live.

Ever}' Sunday afternoon when the weather is good hundreds of people go from the city to Highland L*wu cemetery, and hundreds more would go were it not for the long walk from the end of tho street car line to the top of the hill, about a mile distant. Here is an opening which it is a wonder some enterprising expressmen or bus drivers do not take advantage of. For two or three hours every Sunday afternoon a bus load of passengers could be taken from each car, and two vehicles making tegular trlp3 to connect tho with cars could make a good thing by carrying thi*m for street car fares. Nothing is charged for the suggestion. Who Will take advantage of it?

The May weather as arranged by Rey. Hicks has been coming right along, sometimes a day or so late, but always getting here. From Thursday lastun til Monday next has been slated for a marked storm period, with the crisis about the last named day, accompanied by a very warm period, probably resulting in dangerous storms. Then there is to be another rise in temperature, with reactionary storms about the 25th and 20th, and the last day of the month is to be the center of a regular storm period running into the opening days of June.

Many years ago in Putman count'y kt a point near Morton a party of prospectors began drilling in hope of developing a salt well. Tho power used was an old fashion spriug-pole. The drill went through several good coal veins, but at the depth of two hundred feet it was suddenly blown out of the ground, together with rope and all. At that Uine natural gas was unheard of. The drillers abandoned their work in great fright and plugged up the bole. Recently some old men in that neighborhood recalled this

The new structure has been especially prepared for tho business to which itis now devoted, and is most complete in all its equipments.
