A PLEASANT OCCASION.

For more than a month the wives and friends of the Knights of Pythias had been making arrangements for a surprise,and last Friday night the trap was sprung. An elegant chair was purchased, the delicacies of the season prepared, the ladies met at the home of Mrs, Maud : E. Showers, marched to the Knights of Pythias hall, and then came the surprise. As soon as their presence became known the lodge took a recess and escorted the visitors into

their elegant halls, which soon pre

sented a lively scene. The Knights not, to be out-done, concluded to give a mock imitation and accord-

insiv tue goat was orougui irom

his green pastures, the razors

sharpened, the cannon loaded, and

other instruments of torture placed

m proper position. Dr. John Jk.

Harris was the presiding oSlcer,and Charles E. Maxwell consented to

ride the goat. The affair provoked

much laughter and was thoroughly

enjoyed by all, Mrs. Maud E.

Showers in a very neat and appro

priate speech, presented to the lodge

on behalf of the ladies, a chair for the Chancellor Commander's sta

tion. Vice Chancellor b. Ji. Uarmichael, on behalf of Mrs. Showers presented a very larg crayon pro-

trait of C. H. Showers, who at the

time of his death was an enthusias

tic member of the order.Chant ell or

Commander John W. Cravens ac

cepted the gifts on behalf of the lodge in a speech worthy the occasion. The lodge then took a recess to partake of the elegant refreshments which the ladies had prepared. This part of the pro

gram wa3 a chief feature and was

hugely enjoyed. The lodge was called to order and a large number of the ladies and Knights made speeches in response to calls, The audience was dismissed at a late hour. The ladies deserve great credit for the manner in which the entire affair was managed. Among those who aided in the entertainment were: Mrs. Maud E. Showers, Mrs. M. Rott, JViss Emma Krueger and the wives of the following named Knights, J. E. Harris. C. R. Worrall, J. W. Warder, Chas. Alexander,J. M. McGee, H. J. Feltns,Dr. j; P. Tourner, B. F.

You ask in the Courier last week (said a city official) how mauy( street Commissioners are they. There is but one real "street commissioner (Simp Neekl) but for some reason ho doesn't co the work A member of the City Council (Ben Voss) finds it profitable enough to desert his plastering business to do the work and take the pay of Street Commissioner besides tailing his 4 small pittance" as Councilman. But then all this is none of my business nor yours either, and if you put it in the paper don't mention my name or the' might set down on-me A knowing politician told the Courier how things are going on in the matter of distributing the offices. He said: Mr. H. C. Duncan went to Washington City' last week prepared to make a large number of recommendations for office in every county in this Disirict.These offices were mostly the fourth -class Postoffices, and the Greencastle Postoffice. Mr. Duncan has strong endorsements himself for the position of National Bank Examiner, a good paying place and a responsible one. Nat IJ. Hill could not very

rweli leave hia business to accent

any position, J. G. McPheeters made his second trip after the Bloomington Postoffice. Major Mulky also went after the same offi ce. H e thin ks a sol d ie r ou g h t to have it, especially i:f a soldier is turned uut to make ft vacancy. The Major is an old acquaintance of GenM. Harrison, F!e also knows Coporal Tanner well. You were right in saying last week that within the next thirty days charigia will be made in a majority of the fourth class postofllees in the District.

I?rof J. K. Beck was absent the 2

10 of the week to attend the

funeral of. his father who died at Sellersburgh, Clarke county, on last Sundi.y. in the 80th year of his age. The exursion from Bedford to

'this city last Sunday did not ma

terialize. " Cause why? Enough tickets were not sold in advance to pay the expense of running the train.

A young i$on of Leper Smith's died of typhoid fever, last Wednesday. The widow of Capt. Fried ley is an applicant for the Postoffice at Bedford.

Lieut-Gov. Chase will probably deliver the Decoration Day address in this city. A girl baby brought j03' to the household of Jake Bolienbacher, at Washington, Ind. Frank M. Field Postmaster at Spencer, was here Tuesday, visiting relatives. He is now traveling for a shoe house, and has placed his wife in charge of the Spencer office until his time is out, which will be soon.

H. C. Dnncan, Nat U, Hill, Maj. Mulky and J. G. SfcPheeters, all of Bloominton, and some Bedford people,passed through the city Monday en route to Washington Cit3r. The party was going in the interest of Mr, McPheeters,iithe old ex-Republican postmaster who had held the place of nearly twenty years previous to the Cleveland advent,Greencastle Banner.

It is said here that Sharp will get the Postoffice at Ellettsville,Joe Woodard at Harrodsburg, and Jno. Woodard at Stanford. There is already a Republican Postmaster at Stanford, but he is considered a mugwump, and the Republicans hate a mugwump worse than they do a Democrat.

About midnight the guests departed, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Whisnand a long and happy life.
