Mr. Harry M. Howard is now busy getting ready for next season with a new dramatic company. He will have six new plays, among them being the Sea of Ice, Oliver Twist, The Idiot Witness, &c. Mr. Howard is now very busy writing off the parts for all these plays. He will take the road about the middle

of August with a brass band and orchestra. Of course his wife the brilliant young soubrette, Nellie Esmond, will be the star; The company plays here duung fair week. The long agony over the Ellettsville Postoffice was settled last week by issuing the commission to Simpson Sharp, who was appointed several weeks ago. He took charge of the office Monday. There was a faction of Republicans in favor of Stephenson, the old Postmaster, and when Sharp's appointment was first announced this faction began to

light it and caused the matter to hang fire until last week when they met with defeat, and crawled into their holes. This cleans up all

the appointments in this county with the exception of the Bioomington Postoffice around which, no doubt, another live contest will cen

ter, in the sweet bv and bv. M. M.

Ed Mobley, who is engaged in the barber business in Terre Haute, returned Tuesday after a week's visit to his parents in this city. Tom Mobley is also in Terre Haute, and is doing well. We have a chair factory here that did not cost us $7,000 to get it,and what is more; it won't cost us $7,000 to keep it. We will bet a summer coonskin that one chair made in MoFall's factory will last as long as all the chairs the Bioomington factory could make in a year, and use them one at a time. . This factory makes no pretention to being a corporation;, but still they ship and sell all they make. Bedford Democrats.

Judge Bant a has already commenced his work as dean of the law facuitj-- of the State University and if 'that department is not a success it will not be. because the Judge failed to do his part to make it a success. The place was tendered him unsought and his election was against his express desire that some one else be given the position but when the board unanimously decided upon him :it was accepted and they will have no cause to regret their selection. He will continue his residence here and the law firm of Woollen & Bant a will continue business as of old' Franklin Democrat.

Mrs Martha Mullikin, of Columbus, Kans., is visiting relatives here. Prof. J. C. Weir and family are here to spend their summer vacation.

The wife and children of Mose Kahn are visiting relatives in Cincinnati,

Prof. Foster Hight has returned from Huntington, Ind., to spend his summer vacation.

The Red Men who went to Terre Haute are loud in their praise of their grand treatment by the Chiefs of Tarn any Tribe, and they w ant the T-II. boys to come over here some iime,so that they can be sho wn how neatly the compliment can be returned. Our boys were in the town twenty-four hours, but were in jail only a few minutes. Hurrah for Tamany Tribe and Bro. Murphy. Now is the time of year when teachers "accept" positions In schools. Of course, none of them are asked for; they are all tendered. School officers go wild to secure their services as soon as they learn that so much male or female talent is at libertj So all thai; an average idea shooter has to do now-a-days is to sit down after vacation comes and consider the numerous applications he receives urging him to accept a position as "principal" of Bungtown schools, and, as he drops anote to the papers, he "accepts." Poor old Bedford sends up another wail. Last week's Democrat mourneth in the following strain : Will our citizens, for the sake of a few dollars, allow the natural gas project to fail through? The fact of the matter is, we are behind all other towns in Southern Indiana. Bioomington and Martinsville have electric lights and gas. Seymour and Washington have electric lights and artificial gas and water works; Salem has water works and natural gas, and even Mitchell is going to have water works, and would have had natural gas long ago if they had not been sold out. We are confident there is plenty of natural gas in Lawrence county, just waiting to be reached by the drill. While looking over the Bioomington Courier last week to get some information in reference to commencement week exercises which, however, we failed to find we ran across a criticism of Salem newspapers for not giving the sort of information concerning the gas wells which the Courier man wished. This paper has stated all essential facts in reference to our gas wells and its readers know that Salem has at least three good wells and others are to be sunk. To draw a pen-picture which will give a correct impression of a gas well to a man who never saw one is rather difficult and this paper has not yet attempted. 'it. If the Courier man will come to Salem July 4th, the Democrat will promise that he shall be courteously received and all the mysteries of our gas wells shall be explained to him as far as practicable. Come down and get

acquainted,Mr. Feltus, and we venture the prediction that you will not

Mr, and Mrs. M, C. McNeely whose marriage we noticed in our last issue were the recipients of many presents among which were: bible, parallel edition, F. M. Gaskins; silver spoon, Mrs. P.M.

There were about sixty-five persons present at the elegant supper which was spread at the home of the bride and groom, and an enjoy able time was had by all. It was the original intention to put down about 800 feet of 2-inch pipe in gas well No. l,and pipe was brought here for that purpose. But it now turns put that the several shots of dynamite and nitre-glycerine have blown the bottom out of the hole and made such a wreck down there that piping through the water will do no good. Thus things remain for a short titnetuntil the contractors are ready when it will likely be decided to abandon No. 1, and go to work on well No. 2. They will probably bore it in the Northwest part of towu,in the neighborhood of nearly all the factories. The company has the money in the treasury to pay for another well, as well as the pluck to probe the gas question here until it is proven a failure.

Since writing the above, it has

been decided to bore the well near the Hight mill on the railroad. The

crew is now at work putting up the

rigging, and by the time they are through the drilling.-crew will be

ready to return from Evansviile

where they are now at work.

The new band stand, constructed

last week near the Southwest- cor

ner of the Court-house park, was

dedicated last Saturday by the

Mechanic's Band. The structure

is round, and two stories high. The

lower platform is for speakers and

the balcony above is for the band.

A very appropriate little address

was made by Mayor Dunlap, who

was introduced by Mr. East, who

began by saying : "We. are now on

the eve of one of the most import

ant campaigns" here the laughter and cheers of the audience, who had caught on to Mr. East's take off on a political address, drowned the

speaker's voice; Although the

weather was decidedly cool the ice

cream tables were fairly patronized,

yet the profits were not near what

they should have been, and a large

amount of ice cream was left over.

The feature of the evening was ex

cellent music by the Mechanic's

Band, through whose enterprise the

stand was built. The stand cost a-

bout $100. The city pays $50,and

the band pays the balance, it was thought that they would make

enough Saturday night to dis

charge the debt, butj they didn't.

However the warm weather is yet to come, and the band will have an

opportunity during the season of

furnishing some pleasant entertain

ments for the benefit of our citizens; -Mrs. Bowman's spring stock
