A Kansas farmer has been arrested on charge of having kissed his neighbor's wife in such a "loud, boisterous, felonious, malicious and unseemly manner" as to disturb her

husband's peace. There is no punishment too severe for a man who will thus abuse the art of osculation Loud and boisterous kissing, if not unlawful, is certainly not in good taste.

Sept- 2nd will be labor day and naturally a legal holiday. It would certainly be in keeping with the occasion to celebrate it here in Bloomington in a manner befitting the occasion. Who will start the ball rolling? This city should at least keep face with other towns that are much smaller and who celebrate the day in a glorious way.

The musical feature of the State Fair program this year will be more than interesting. Four of the best bands in the country will engage in the grand military and musical demonstration on Friday, Sept. 21; and on Wednesday the living flag, composed of 1,000 school children, dressed in red, white and blue, will sing patriotic airs. No expense will be spared to make the fair of 1895 the most successful in the history of the State.

The largest apple crop seen in Southern Indiana is

hanging on the trees of the num-

j erous orchards ot that section, and

the fruit growers are at a loss to dispose of the large product, the price being hardly sufficient to pay fr the cost of picking and preparing for market. This is especially the case with the earlyvarieties, and the ground beneath the trees is now fairly covered with the fallen fruit. Of course, the apples will not be wasted, for there are in New Albany division of the Seventh Internal Revenue district twenty-seven legitimate fruit distilleries, in addition to the moonshine affairs located in the lonely ravines among the hilis of Crawford county, and they will be able to care for a great part of the "windfalls" and convert them into hunc-reds of barrels of that potent liquor, "Apple Jack," the favorite tipple of the natives of SouthernNlndiana, and a fluid that, when mellowed with age, is not despised in more refuted communities. Already eight of the distilleries have arranged with Deputy Collector of Revenue James Smith, of New Albany, to start and the others will be in operation before the close of the present month. On account of the failure of the fruit crop for several years past no brandy has been made, and the natives have sadly missed their favorite drink . A few gallons were carried over, but the quantities were small and did not afford that abundance necessary to the

demand of the hardy hill ers. who were compelled back on whis key when a

lant was required. One distiller of Orange county held on to a barrel of peach for family use and now has about rive gallons of five-year-old that is said by experts to be as smooth as the finest of olive oil, as potent as aquafortis and of the most delicious flavor. The favorite drink, however, in the rural districts of Southern Indiana is the fiery apple jack, and as an evidence of its general use it is related by a politician of Harrison county that on the oc

casion of an election of special importance in his precinct, prob ably the selection of a road supervisor, a place of more importance to the rural mind than the selection of a Governor, there were sixty-eight votes cast and nine gallons of new apple jack, fresh from the still, were drunk.
