I. Leibole, Trustee. Governor Drake, of lowa, president > and one of the principal stockholders of i the Three I railroad, is reported to be I dangerously ill. Michael Beall, of near this place, was taken with a violent hemorrhage, last Monday night, the result of an indolent carbuncle on the back of his neck, which ; destroyed a blood vessel causing nearly’ ; fatal results. Dr. Arlington reports the i I patient as improving at this writing— ; Thursday evening. The interesting congressional contest in the Fourth Indiana district ended I last Tuesday, resulting in the election of Hon. F. M. Griffith, the democratic candidate, as successor to the late W. S. Holman. Griffith’s majority over both the republican and populist candidates was about 1,200. The republicans carried the district two years ago by nearly 300 votes.

Coxey, of “industrial army” fame, has been nominated by the populists for governor of Ohio. — Russell Sage, the New York financier is 81 years old, but is said to be still working hard for the almighty dollar. I——— “Lucky” Baldwin, at the age of 74, j s going to try his luck in the Alaskan gold fields. He is organizing a company to prospect in the Klondike region on an extensive scale. Gold in very large quantities is now being found in all parts of the country, according to reports. The excitement over the Klondike seems to have developed many rich fields of gold heretofore not dreamed of. In fact, the yellow metal can now bo found in almost any old place where beans will not grow. • —~ A movement for postal wings banks in this country has been started and is gathering new strength constantly. This would be a great blessing for the people, affording absolute safety, together wjjh e small interest, for money depo^l^d in these banks. A banking of this kind, it is believed, would ftlsoM an aid in keeping our circulating distributed among the people. Rev. Frank M. Bristol, the eminent pastor of the First Methodist church of Evanston, 111., has received a call to the pastorate of the Metropolitan church at Washington, D. C., which is the church attended by President McKinley. This is one of the most famous churches in the M. E. denomination and a call to its pulpit is an honor greatly coveted by Methodist ministers. Rev. Frank Bristol, although a young man comparatively, has achieved high renown in the pulpit and is among the very ablest ministers in this country.

■j The assassination of Senor Canovas del Castillo, premier of Spain, is a crisis in the affairs of that government. It, will no doubt weaken Spain's hold in Cuba and help the cause of the insurgents. Castillo, although born of humble parents, rose to eminence in his country and belonged to the conservative, aristocratic class. He was Spain’s leading statesman, but was regarded by a large portion of the common people as a foe to true liberty. His brutal assassination, however, creates horror and sympathy among all classes of his coun trymen, political foes and friends alike. The Argos Reflector has enlarged from a five to six column quarto. An evidence of prosperity which we are glad to see. The delivery of pickles at the Walkerton factory last Monday night reached almost high water mark, the number of bushels received being 3,81X4. This is very unusual for the beginning of the season. Only once in the history of the factory five or six years ago was this amount exceeded in a single day’s delivery. Teams loaded with pickles began arriving at 2 p. m. and by 7 p. m. 81 teams were standing in line waiting to be unloaded, the last load not being disposed of until 2:30 o'clock the next morning.
