Wo H e the Ttnilroud .? The writer of this article would not advocate a railroad donation and vote for it on the 9th day of August ;iust for the pleasure of paying a tax; money is not made that easy thee hard times, and there are too many other convenient places to p it it. The only reason for voting a tax is the absolute necessity of doing so if the proposed new east and west railroad is to be secured; there is no other consideration under which a business man would donate a hundred or more dollars. Other counties stand ready to do so, and the five townships in Monroe must not fail or the enterprise will go elsewhere. A fair illustration of the competition for active capital comes

from the western , city of Wichita that alonfe explains its phenomenal growth. Large car works were to be located at the most available point. Several cities bid for the works, but not to be outdone, Wichita donated two hit mired thousand dollars and iand valued at as much more. It required this immense donation to secure the enterprise, and Wichita was successful. So it is with the large amount of capital required to build a railroad : many other places are more than ready to vote tire required aid ; it matters little to men of capital where their neans are invested ; it goes where it makes the most ; where it is wanted. This is the supreme opportunity of our people to increase the value of everv foot of Iand near the new line of road ; it is the. time to stop forever the enormous charges for freight that have taken the profits from the pockets of every man who raises an v thing for sale. The 0th day of August will mark an important event in our history ; shall it be for good or evil Let friends of the road be active and at work. In township and county elections voters grow wild with enthusiasm and work hard and long for the success of a few politicians, who too often prove themselves in grates, and yet an election like the one the 9th of August, that is of actual value to every citizen and promises reat development for the county, comes upon us and we hardly trouble ourselves to speak to our neighbors!

THE CINCINNATI & ST. LOUIS RAILROAD,

AX KBROR CORRECTED. In my last week's article I :ave a table to show what times the four hall-yearly taxes would be payable. The first was in November, 1888. w was mistaken. All taxes assessed in 1888 are not payable until 1889- The four half-yearly railroad taxes will be payable as follows : 1st half -yearly, April, 1889. 2nd half-yearly, November, 1881). 3rd half-yearly, April, 1890. 4th half-yearly, November, lft9u. This gives us one more crop than I bad stated. The first crop, 1888, before any tax is payable. A second crop, 1889, between the first and second payments. And a third crop between the third and f c urth payment. Lewi?? jBollmax.

A ARD OF EXPLANATION. To the Editor of the Tklkphoxe : As unscrupulous parties have circulated a false report in regard to a package which I received from the postmaster at Stanford, I feel it my duty to say I have sufficient proof that the package arrived at the postoffice with the wrapper worn out and was soon without any wrapper. I called for the package when no one but Mr. Baker was in the store, and thinking that I meant a pair of shoes that had been there, told me the package had been sent to my sons. And when I called again the postmaster told me th e package had been without a wrapper acd was being soiled, and that his wife had cared for it. He at once

delivered the same to me. which was to my entire satisfaction, and Any reports to the contrary are malicious falsehoods. July 27. Sklina Burch. Thursday a week is the M- E. Sunday school excursion day tc the eities of the falls. Make your arrangements to go "to take the children". See the bills.

good for use at any time and by any member of a firm or family, at S2T per one thousand miles, and another, a two-thousand mile ticket $40, or two cents per mile, good for use at any time in one year and by any member of a firm or family. In each case the name of the person who is likely to use it must be given. Judge Loner, sitting in the United States District Court at Baltimore, has decided that Thomas Wiggins, known all over the world as "Blind Tom", the pianist, shall delivered on or before Aug. 10 into the custody of Mrs. Eliza Betbune, who represents Charity Wiggins, the mother of "Blind Tom", and that James S. Betbune, who has had charge of him, shall at the same time pay over to Mrs. Bethune the sum of $7,000 for past services. The case has been in the courts for several years, aud has attracted considerable attention from the fact that Tom has been held as a chattel by :he Bethunes ever since his musical genuis made him valuable. The suit wsts brought in the interest of his mother to gain possession of him In will bo remembered that ;tBlind Tom" was in Bloomington this spring. We are reminded at this earlv dav of the Indiana Statt fair, commencing September ..9th, by the bright and cheerful posters to be seen evervwhere, and a call at the business office plainly demonstrates that.

the Fair season will soon be upon us. The number f applicants for exhibition space, sales of privileges, and the amount of mail matter gives every encouragement for success and something more. Improvements are being made, more special exhibition buildings erected, a new roof on the main exhibition hall and the grounds

enlarged. The Indiana State Fair is now recognized as the center of the great breeding grounds of improved stock. Herdf, of improved cattle were shown at the last Fair from nine different States. Eighteen States aud the Canadas were represented, and- the show of live stock and machinery never excelled on the continent. An exhibitor making an application for space recently, remarked: "We have got to make an exhibition to keep up with the times or be considered as dead. The people come to see the improvements; the progressive men of the community attend the State Fair, in fact, can not afford to stay avayt and the Fair is doing more good for the industrial community than any other influence."
