An exchange truthfully remarks : "A good advertisement in a newspaper pays no fare on railroads, costs nothing for hotel bills, gives away no boxes of cigars to customers, drinks no whisky under the head of traveling expenses, but goes at once and all the time about his

business free of expense."

It is stated that the United States Express Company expects to get into Louisville over the L., N. A. & C. road. During the existence of the Baltimore & Ohio Express Company arrangements were made to throw the American express off the L., N. A. & C., and substitute the B. & O. express, but the turn matters took defected this scheme. Now the United States Express Co. want to get on the road through the contrat made by the B. & O. Express Company before it was absorbed by the U. S. Compay. -New Albany Ledger.

Abbey's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company gave an entertainment at the Opera House last evening. This company rendered the play much better than has ever before been done in this city. The Hyers Sisters, besides taking the part of the Double Topsys sang several duets, and fairly captivate the large audience. - Warsaw Republican. This is the company that is to be here December 21ist. "The lowest order of the brute creation is the man who sneers at a woman becaus she mayhap get her living by legitimate public employment. The misfortune of gaining an independent subsistence was not of her choosing, probably, and if it was, she is none the less a lady, whether whether on the stage,or behind the counter. The brute, however, was born so and he can't help it. It reflects credit on the manly

art when one is made to make a

meal of his teeth."

Joe Lamb, the notorious young robber, who was the hero of a some what lengthy write-up in the Courier of last week, escaped from the county jail last Friday noon. He bent the bars so as to enable him to climb into the upper tier of cells,and from there he made his way down into the corridor. When Mrs. Morgan opened the main door, with the prisoner's dinner, Lamb sprang forward pushed her aside and made a dash for liberty. But Lamb did not enjoy his freedom long, as he went at once to robbing houses as he went along and was readily tracked the house of David Chambers in Polk township, where he was caught in the act. He was arrested and returned to his old quarters in the county jail, and it is safe to say that he will not escape again.

of James Kelly ,died on last Monday of typhoid fever.

The family of Dr. Langdon wish

to express their thanks to neighbors

and friends for the sympathy and attentioh shown during the Doctor's last sickness.

Hon. John W. Buskirk went to Indianapolis, Monday, to present the brief and make a statement before the Supreme Court in the Auditor injunction suit. Roy, a little son of the editor of the Courier, was passing bills among the wagons hitched around the Square last Saturday noon when a horse kicked him in the forehead, knocking him senseless. A bad gash was cut above the left eye, but an examination showed that the skull was not fractured. Dr. J. E. Harris dressed the wound, and pronounced it a remarkable escape. There is a great difference be tween advertising to support a party organ and advertisng to secure business. The first is selfishness, the

lattpr is a business principle, and the merchant who advertises or takes a paper merely for charity, is usually the first one to rush up and order his paper stopped if there is an item or opinion not in accordance with his, while the merchant who advertises for business purpose does not care a snap for the editor so long as the paper has the circulation. Some people oppose everything that anybody else suggests. Nothing is right except what has its origin just under their own hat crows. No matter how valuable the thing suggested may be, this carper has some other plan ; if ought to be something else, or it ought to be done in some other way. In fact, he never does originate anything. He only greedily waits for somebody to suggest a step of progress, when he drops on it and begins to claw

and bite. He ought to be kick clear

into the middle of 1900.

The Supreme Court reversed the

decision in the Grimes-Pedigo case

last JLnursaajr. mis or course brings the whole matter back to be tried asrain. But meantime Pedigo

will discharge the duties of the Auditor of Monroe county. Miers & BurkirkjPedigo's att3rs., have been confident all the time that grevious errors were committed in the lower couit, ar,d that the decision would be reversed. And in view of this they have used every effort in their power to vindicate the voice of the TOters of this county and their work should be commended by every honest vote wheth

An exchange says : "Newspapers in every part of the country are full of notices of sickness and deaths from typhoid fever. This is especially true of Southern Indiana, in which the disease is wide-spread and fatal. We again warn our readers to look carefully after their water supply. Where it is drawn from wells affected by the drouth, the water ought in no case to be used until it has been boiled. The precaution is worth all the trouble which it causes. Low wells and this dangerous fever go together. Boiling the water destroys the fever germs. Do not neglect it."

"O, think of the home over there," is the sweet refrain of a popular hymn. We don't want to throw any cold water on the honest efforts of this pious poet, but we do wish that he had directed to the improvement of the home down here. When a man or woman thinks of the "home over there" so much that the home below the clouds gets but little attention, we think that kind of piety is not practical. Think of the home that you occupy, and try to make it better, hanpier and purer. The home over there is in better hands and won't heed your exclusive attention until you get there.

The Slulbyrille Republican tells the plain truth when it says: "There are merchants who do not advertise but they cheerfully pay 20 percent, more for a store room near a large advertiser in the press. Every man who has a store to rent knows this to bo true, that a large advertiser increases the rental and value of every house in the neighborhood. More than this, he benefits the whole community, for the towns and cities in these days that do not advertise are dead, and might just as well hang out their mourning before other people do it for them." Dr. S. P. Langdon, one of the oldest citizens of Rioomirigton,d:ed on last Friday of a kidney disease, for waich he had been wearing an instrument for a long while. The deceased was the wealthiest man in Bioomington before he distributed his proper ty, which he did some time ago, or, to use his own words, he administered on his estate. His property was given to his daughters and to Mrs. Thompson, his housekeeper, he gave the residence in this city. The remains were taken to Gosport on a special train last Sunday. At the annual meeting held at Indianapolis last May, the Indiana National Woman Suffrage Association announced that it would hold a convention in each of the thirteen Congressional Districts of this State, during the autumn and wTin-

ber oi. loo;. r-ur8uant to tnis announcement the neceseaiy arrangements have been made to hold a Congressional District Convention in Bioomington, November 10 & 11. The following named speakers will be present: Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs, Zerelda G.Wallace,Mrs. May Wright Sewell,Mrs. J. R.Wood, Mrs. Ida A. Harper and others. The citizens of Bioomington and Monroe county are most cordially invited to attend this convention. The primary object in holding these conventions at this time is tj organize the suffrage sentiment in every Congressional district of the State in such a manner that it can be effectual lyed to influence the men who represent Indiana in the Fiftieth Congress, The Sixteenth Amendment, hick was brought to a vote in the United" States Senate during the last session of the Fortyninth Congress will be brought before the Fiftieth Congress so soon as that body shall convene and the suffragists in their call for the meetings announce a belief that the amendment will be adopted. The official board asks supporters of woman suffrage in all parts of the state to unite in an appeal to the legislators. Mrs. Helen M. Cougar is president of the board which includes Zerelda G. Wallace, of Owen county ; May Wright Sewall, of Indianapolis; Jfrs. J. R. Wood, of Indianapolis and Mrs, Ida Herper, of

There is nothing more pleasing

than to meet with a bo' who is polite, kind and courteous to everyone, old and young. If every mother won Id endcavoi to make aulittle gentlemadV of her son from his babyhood, we should not so often be pained by coming in contact with rough, ill bred young men, whose only pride seems to be uttered disregard of the civilities of every day -if e. Teach the boys to be courteous to all people, no matter what position in life tb ey may oecu py. They will lose nothing by it, but on the contrary gain a great deal. A couiteous boy is a pleasant companion tor old or young, and is always a favorite wherever he goes. He ia continually doing or saying something to interest the people about him, and usually succeeds in making himself agreeable to all. The majority ot boys like to be thought well of, and willingly practice the art of courtsey, but they want to be taught so they will not appear awkward. The duty of teaching them devolves upon the parents; and it will be discovered that they learn much more readily and perfectly by example than by precept. Surround them by an ni mosphere of gentiJlty and home courtsey and it will be instilled into their natures, and become a part of their education which will enable
