Asbury Cnurch.
About $150 was cleared by the ladies of the Asbury church on the dining hall at the fair ground last week. The ladies set an elegant table and deserved the large patronage received.
Jasper Tries To Buy a Wagon A correspondent informs the GAZETTE that Jasper Newton Woods, of Pierson township, recently attended a sale in that section and bid $2.50 for a wagon which sold at something over $40. His bid was rejected. Jasper was evidently trying to get a wagon cheap. He doubtless intended to buy it for $2.50 and sell it for $50 and come up to Terre Haute in his new buggy and pay what he owes on the WEEKLY GAZETTE. Jasper undoubtedly intends to pay. The GAZETTE trusts all its subscribers will call and settle their little bills, as we need the money, and not be as slow as Jasper is about it. One Jasper in a state is enough.
5 Fires at Montezuma.
The large brick school building at Montezuma was discovered to be on fire Saturday night about nine o'clock, and it was only by the united efforts of the citizens that it was saved from destruction. It was found to have been set on fire with kindling and coal oil. The coal oil can, which was anew one, was found on the premises and was soon traced up to having been Bold by E. S. Dille to two town boys. The boys say that they were hired by an unknown man to them to bring the can to him at a certain place. There is a diversity of opinion as to the veracity of this story. The boys have hitherto borne good characters and belong to good families. The school board offer $50 reward for the conviction of the guilty parties. The second alarm occurred about oae o'clock Sunday morning, when the large barn of David Irineberger was seen in flames. It is probably the work of incendiaries. Mr. liineberger's loss is about $50 partly insured.,
Good Investments.
The original investors in Bell Telephone stock are considered fortunate because the value of it has increased ten fold. It was, no doubt, a very pleasant surprise to them, but they could not express their satisfaction in more earnest •words than do the purchasers of "Plain Home Talk" and "Medical Common Sense," hundreds of whom write that it is worth from ten to one hundred times its cost. An editor writes: "It contains more of value than any book on my shelves." A physician writes: It is without doubt the best and most interesting book I ever consulted." Here is a chance to invest $1.50 for something that you will soon find will rise in value, and be worth many times its cost. It is especially interesting to those just married or about to be, and to persons "who enjoy poor health." Contents table free. Murray Hill Publishing Co., 129 East Twenty-Eighth street, N. Y.

LAMB VS. JOHNSTON..
Hew it Looks to the Press of the District.
Sullivan Democrat: A friend wants to know if it is really a fact that Johnston was mixing with the "boys" in a saloon near the depot at the soldiers" reunion. We gave the rumor as it came to us on the authority of a gentleman of undoubted veracity, and as it is not denied we presume it is perfectly correct.
Bockville Eagle: Hon. Joseph L. Boyd was nominated for state senator by the joint Parke and Vermillion counties, Greenback convention at Montezuma last Thursday. Mr. Boyd will be remembered as the gentleman that defeated the Hon. James T. Johnston in Parke county for the same office and came within some fifty votes of carrying the district over huh when he (Johnston) had 1,200 majority to start on.
Crawfordsville Star: Bockville Democrats are betting on Hon. John E. Lamb and giving him one thousand majority. They get few takers even at that.
Bockville Eagle: Johnston said there were .serious charges against Lamb I which" he, Lamb, had not refuted.
Wonder what Johnston did with the charges Mr. Lamb made against him in his last letter. We believe he said Mr. Johnston was a liar, a hypocrite and a coward.
Crawfordsville Review: Best assured Montgomery county will give Lamb the full strength of the party, and if all' counties do as well his majority will be perfectly satisfactory to him and the district.

Fouts, Hunter & Co.
Fouts, Hunter & Co., with their usual enterprise, were at the fair grounds with a number of top buggies, a surrey and a fancy buck wagon or surrey. They took first premium on top buggy, and no doubt would have taken more red ribbons, but they had no phsetons ijor carriages on display, hence they captured everything they entered for. The surrey they exhibited was not of their manufacture, but was entered only to advertise their business. The fancy surrey, of their own make, is finished in oil and varnish only, and is a piece of work which shows very accurately the excellent quality of material the firm uses in their goods.
They also exhibited anew style buggy body for this section, they being the only firm handling it in Terre Haute. It is dovetailed together, there not being a screw nor nail about it. The ends and sides are held by dovetail corner pieces, and it is as substantial—in fact, much more substantial—than any other buggy body could be made. Like all their work, Messrs. Fouts, Hunter & Co., secured this novel body that they could serve their customers with the best. They do not cover up blemishes by fancy painting, although the finish of their goods is on a par with the finest productions in this country.
The firm secured an enviable victory at this fair, and those \iho saw their display are unanimous in pronouncing it the leading among the exhibits.
Vanderburg Democrats.
The county convention of the Vanderburgh Democrats was held Saturday. Frank Pritchett, who is well-known here, was nominated for sheriff. The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we are unalterably op posed to prohibition, whether in the form of a constitutional amendment or in the form of prohibitory license, believing that moral reforms can* only be accomplished by selfdenial and moral snasion. We therefore declare that the whole duty of the state is performed when it exercises strict supervision of the liquor traffic under laws providing revenue therefrom by the imposition of a reasonable license tax.
Any Small Boy With a Stick, can kill a tiger,—if the tiger happens to be found-when only a little cub. So consumption, that deadliest and most feared of diseases, in this country, can assuredly be conquered and destroyed if Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" be employed early.
A young man in the northern pare of the county who was contemplating matrimony tried to borrow $10 to tie the knot and tide him over the honeymoon. Failing to get it he gave up his matrimonial intentions.

THE UTAH COMMISSION.
A Meeting in Chicago—Chairman Carlton's Views •'.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21—The Utah commis sion, selected under the provision of the Edmunds law in 1882, began & session here this" forenoon. The object is to prepare the annual report for the year past to present to the President by Oct 1st. The specific duty of this commission is to oonduct elections in Utah including the appointment of registration officers and a board of canvassers in the city and town elections as well as the county and territory. Mr. Carlton, the chairman, states that the Edmunds law so far has been effective in doing away with illegal voting, the law prohibiting a polygamist, or one who indulges in unlawful cohabitation to vote, and that the courts of justice during the past 18 months had convicted 100 offenders. In this sense, he said, tbe law was a success but how far it has made the Mormon give up his creed is another question.

PARKE COUNTY.
Some "Interesting Figures Bearing on the Congressional Fight. 7-
ROCKVILLE, Sept. 21—[Editor GAZETIHE]—No doubt your readers would like to know just how the congressional contest in this county stands from a Democratic standpoint. This is, as you are probably awar9, Johnston's county, but the Democrats are active and aggressive and will not give him as much of a plurality as he got two years ago. It may be interesting to quote a few figures to show just how popular John E. Lamb is in Parke county. I stepped over into County Clerk Stronse's office yesterday and looked over the official records. In 1882 Hawn, Republican candidate for secretary of state, received 2,438 votes and Myers, Democrat, 1,807, giving.Hawn a majority of 631. Pierce, Republican for congress, received 2,390 votes and Lamb 1,824 votes, giving Pierce a majority of 566. Thus Lamb ran 17 votes ahead of his party and Pierce 48 votes behind his party. In 1884— a presidential year—when every effort was made to get out the full Republican vote in this county, and when the good, steady-going Republicans of Parke were told by campaign orators to vote against Democrats because they were everything from highway robbers down to professional pickpockets, the following was the record: Calkins, Republican for Governor, received 2,545 votes and Gray 1925 votes, a Republican majority of 620. Johnston received 2.497 votes and Lamb 2.146, giving Johnston a majority of 351 votes. Thus while Johnston ran 269 votes behind his party in his own county Lamb ran 221 votes ahead of his party. Comment is unnecessary. Cold figures never lie. My prediction, based on careful observation, is that Johnston will not secure a majority this time of over 300, or 51 less than he got two years ago. That.means that he will run 300 votes behind his party. While Johnston is making such professions of being a great friend of the Greenbackers it is significant that the Greenbackers of Tiis own county are for Lamb and with about as much enthusiasm as are the Democrats. Uncle Joe Boyd, who came within 38 votes of beating Johnston in this county for state senator, when the normal Republican majority was about 700, has been nominated again by the Greenbackers for State Senator for the counties of Parke and Vermillion. With the Democratic vote it is believed he will be elected.'
WEEKLY GAZETTE.
A Gazette Reporter Interviews Him and Gets Some Facts.
It is charged for instance that Mr. Lamb whilst a member of Congress, failed to vote on the question of suspending silver coinage. The Congressional Record, however, (pages 2210— 2211) shows that Mr. Lamb not only voted on the question, but voted against suspending silver coinage.
Again, it is asserted that he uniformly voted against Reagan's Inter-State Commerce Bill, whereas the Congressional Record (page 554) shows that Mr. Lamb voted for the bill.
One more instance will suffice to prove the malicious mendacity of Mr. Lamb's opponents.
It is said that he voted against the bill retiring Gen. Grant The Congressional Record (page 2,566) shows that he voted for that bill.
In this same connection Mr. Lamb said: "I spoke and voted for the Mexican Pension Bill and in the campaign of 1884 was criticised by Mr. Jas. T. Johnston for so doing. The pretense that I missed 109 roll calls is false. I never dodged a vote whilst in Congress and am recorded as 'not voting* only when I was ill or had leave of absence."
Mr. Lamb gave most cheering accounts of the condition of the party in the District.
The meetings which he addressed were larger than any of former years and in the interest taken in the success of every ticket—state, congressional and county—has never in his experience been equalled.
Obituary.
BENJAMIN H. ALVEY.
At two o'clock this morning after about two months sickness, only apart of which time,, however, he had been confined to the house, Mr. B. H. Alvey of the well-known firm of Barker & Alvey, died at his residence, No. 620 south Seventh street. About two months ago he seemed to have an abcess or tumor and steadily declined in health and flesh from that time on. In August he went to the French Lick Springs, but received no benefit During the past three weeks he was at home and for thirty hours or more proceeding his death was unconscious.
Mr. Alvey was born in St Mary's, this county, on February 22, 1847. When he was only eleven years old he started to learn the printer's trade with the late G. F. Cookerly and at twelve he engaged in business at St Mary's with Mr. Sam Barker and afterward in the grocery line at Charleston, HI. When he was nineteen he went to the Cecilian College in Kentucky, still retaining his interest in the business. The firm bought out Crawford Scott in the liquor business, abont nine years ago. He was a hard-worker, and having early turned his attention to buines s, became quite successful. He was a member of the A. O. U. W., in which he held $2,000 life insurance.
His father and mother both survive him. They live with his sister, Mrs. Barker, and with another sister, Mrs. Oswald D. Bell, on south Fourth street The funeral will take place on Friday at an hour which will be stated hereafter.
Ben Alvey will be missed in business circles. He was prompt in meeting all obligations, energetic, enterprising and public spirited. «...
He Wants To Bet.
An unknown Rockvillian, a brother perhaps of Sairy Gamp's Mrs. Harris, while laboring under the joint excitement of wealth and Apollinaris water, telegraphs his anxiety to testify to his loyalty to the grand old Republican party by betting, Mr. Johnston's unpopularity in Parke county is his hobby and he proposes to discuss that by betting. His proposition in effect is that Mr. Johnston will not run more than 166 votes behind Pierce's vote in Parke county in 1882, or more than 289 votes behind Pierce's vote in 1880. This sort of politics is a new thing in Parke county. "v ..
Struck By Lightning.
The barn on James Schee's farm in Sugar Creek township was struck by lightning about 6 o'clock this (Wednesday) morning and was destroyed by fire, with itb contents. The barn contained 45 tons of hay and some Agricultural implements. The loss will be $1,200, with $900 insurance, which is held by B. F. Havens,

Falsehoods Refuted by Facts From the Congressional Record.
Hon/ John
For the last three weeks E. Lamb has been absent from home nearly all the time engaged in an active canvass of this district A GAZETTE reporter happened to catch him "on the fly," however, and in a few minutes conversation learned facts of which the people of the district, regardless of party, ought to be advised.
From what Mr. Lamb said it is plain beyond dispute that failing in every thing else, the opposition to him has resort^l to the desperate measure of trying to defeat him by a systematic and persistent course of lying. T*
This statement may seem startling to a majority of people, but it is true nevertheless, and without attempting for a moment to cite and refute all the falsehoods now in circulation about Mr. Lamb, the GAZETTE will cite a few prominent ones which are so easily refuted as to convince any candid mind of the malicious purpose of the person or persons circulating them.
