The young men around Goshen seem to have assumed the habit of "bowling" up on hard cider. It seems to have a bad effect upon their mental capacity especially when attending Jivine ser vice.

A farmer who had not been in town for some time, stopped in front of the electric light plant and inquired of a by stander "what is that air building, a factory?" "Mo, a plant" was the reply "What do you raise there?" he again queried. "Currents." "How much are they worth per bushel?" 'We don't sell them by the bushel, we sell them by the shock."

from the effects, but his neice, Laura Stivers, was not so fortunate. U-ing overcome by the noxious gas to such an extent as to he confined to her bed the greater part of the day. It was a fortunate escape. tili in Ii li i-:t Fiu ini: lMu.ri:Mi:M : I notice in this week's IJepuhiicau, that twentyfour of the republican precinct committeemen met last Saturday alternoon" and organized by electing John W. Wiltlong chairman and Joe llack,secietary. I also notice in this weeks issue of the Democrat, that "a port ion" of s he IJepuhiicau county central committer met at the Clerk's office with closed doors Saturday (several leading republicans being unable to gain admission and selected County Clerk John W. Wiltfong chairman and Deputy Sheriff .1. M. Pilack secietary." Now, is the public generally has the right of free access to the public ollices during ollice hours, and the Pepuhlican docs iii't slate where the meeting was held, the inference from reading the Democrat, is, that it was held at "the Clerk's oilier with closed doors," and that the public was excluded lroin the clerk's office during a part of last Saturday afternoon. In the interest of fairness to all concerned, and that the truth of the charges may be either sustained or denied as the lac's warrant, 1 address the liu: 1'i:mi:.nt as the exponent of truth regardless of politics, hoping that it will investigate the matter, and publish the facts, so tnat if Clerk Wiltfong isguilty of violating Iiis oath by keeping "dosed doors" during business luurs for political purposes, he may be called down, or if the Democrat has maliciously lied about the matter in its attempt to injure Mr. Wiltfong, for political purposes, this fact also ought to be generally known, and there is perhaps no hotter medium through which to reach all t he people, than the l.sin:rr.ti:vr. A. Or..si:i:vi:i:. rurme iV liiolitiili-s. The farmers' institutes held in various parts of t lie state of Indiana, have been both interesting ami profitable to the farmer. Dot witli all these- methods adopted by intelligent farmer:-, there is still a large number of the tillers of the soil who sneer at what they call book-farming and allirni with the utmost assumption of wisdom, that they farm by experience anil not by book. These same farmers w ill hang over the fence by the hour, though, and talk with their neighbors about how they fattened hogs, or their breed of cattle, and tell about their seed com, or their failure with Turkey wheat, and mock and wonder at this man or that man being such a fool as to tie a book farmer. If these same superstitions wise fellows would only stop to consider, a moment, they would know that the books or papers they profess todespise areonly their neighbor stalking to a thousand farmers, instead of to one only, and if they had the wit to know it, the book they condemn would correct, modify and explain all their neighbor's experience. Jealousy and contempt of the recorded knowledge, experience and wisdom of other men in one's own country or all the world will never increase one's own wisdom or knowledge. This rule will aptly apply to other occupations in life as farming. The 31 illemii tu. We hope says an exchange to see the day arrive when men will bo just as honest and upright in politics as they are in private business matters. It has not yet arrived, but there are many people '-hoping for the day" that a man's word can be relied on, politically! That time will arrive when spoils are not handed out by successful aspirants to office. The patriotic inlluence as yeilded by our forefathers is as dead as a door nail when it comes to political campaining. It-iu'ulli Their Dignity. The case oecuping .Judge ('apron's attention the past few days has became quite inteiesting. Last night court was in session until 10 o'clock and when those interested in the case started to depart for home, discovered the effect of the rain on the front steps of the court house. It is said that some ot the court dignitaries fearing a severe fall, forgot their position as legal lights and crawled on their hands and knees to the grounds below. MiihI Nel A Ituth. There was a guest at one of our hotels last Wednesday night, who according to receut developments, must surely need a bath. On examining his room the following morning it was discovered that he had stolen the soap and every towel in the room. We have often heard ot the towel fiend, who purloins a towel at every hotel he stops over night in, but as a rule they left the soap. InStill MillVrriig. The Hon. II. (J. Thayer, though reported better yestesday, is still suffering with a sever form of facial erysipelas involving the nasal passages and throat. Liren tu WmI. Albert J. Hess and Luella Stevenson.
