BLUE JEANS GETS LOST.
Thrilling Adventure Of His PantaloOn-
ship Going From Font Wayne to
IpdinapOlis.
[Muncie Tirnes.l

Our Democratic Governor-God
save the mark was at Fort Wayne
during the fair. After he had spoken
his little piece to "them people" he
wanted to get back to indianapolis,
where that son-in-law whose cattle
the strikers let go through on the re-
quest OF Blue Jeans, was. b. Us.
friends were naturally fearful of let
ting him travel without more ADLER
man 10 look after him at railroad
crossings and beer saloons. They,
however, at last consented, to let him
go alone, as his journey was by rail
all the way, and thought he could
surely make it to Indianapolis alone.
They calculated badly. B. J. got to
Muncle, where he had to change cars,
waiting awhile after the Fort Wayne
train came in for the "bobtail." He
got out and wandered about aimless-
ly at the depot, no one seeming to
care cent whether he went on or
stayed behind. The ''bobtail" came
and went and his pantaloonship re-
NAMED. His head being small and
light he had gotten turned around
and thought Indianapolis was east
instead Of west, and his conceit being
large he disdained to ask anybody
about it. SO he got left. Finding he
was left, he propelled his long blue
leaned legs to the Haines House.
The fair was going on, and when b. J..
went in the clerk took him for some
farmer whose family had got tired
waiting for him to get drinks enough
clerk assigned b. ]. to aroom in the
fourth story, and sent a porter up
with him. When the porter got
down stairs he said to the landlord !:
That's the Governor we've put up
in the garrett"
Mr. Reed went up the stairs four
at a time and entered the room where
B.J. was and said: "Great heavens
Governor, the porter has made a
mistake, this isn't the room assigned
to you," and he led his pantaloon-
ship down stairs and put him In a
room he was keeping for drummer.
His pantaloonship lowed: Il wouldn't
a-had it a-happened for hundred
dollars. Them papers II git hold OF
it: I'll never heer the last on it,"
Poor old pantaloons, we're afraid
you will see your inishap in the pa
pers.
He was awakened the next morning
and put carefully on the 5 a. m. train
in charge OF the conductor, and that
he arrived safely in indianapolis at
last we learned from the Journal
The dear, darling son-in-law not be-
ing there he had to go on where he
was, but having his keeper along we
presume he got there without endan-
gering his pantalo ons.

The Bourbon Fair.

The fair which took place at Bour-
bon last week was a decided success,
both in display and attendance. In
the grain and vegetable department
we saw some of the finest corn and
wheat to be seen anywhere. OF po-
tatoes there was a most superb COL
lection. In the squash line there
were some monstrous specimens.
One weighed 214 pounds, and six of
the kind, raised by the same man.
weighed 1190pounds. There were some
very fine hogs and sheep displayed,
and also some good cattle. We saw no
horses, on Saturday. In the ma
chinery line there were a number of
engines etc. And very fine display
of wagons and buggies all OF them
made in Bourbon. The fair was held in
the college grounds, a part Of the
college buildings being used for a
display OF fruits, fine needlework, etc.
Mrs. I. Mattingly occupied one cor
ner with some elegant specimens of
plants and flowers. There was a
very fine display OF millinery goods
etc. We must not forget to mention
some fine samples ofbread and cakes.
Our heart warns toward any woman
who can bake a good loaf OF bread,
and there was some very fine sam
pies of bread on display. As to the
general display we can hardly give
the space TO a general description,
but must say that it was very good
indeed hard to excel, considering the
pains taken to get it up.
On Saturday there was a firemen's
and band contest. The
boys took off the prize in
both contests, the band contest L.
ing contested by five bands; the
Bourbon band not participating. 1t
was a most enjoyable occasion
throughout. A few foot races enli-
vened the afternoon. A scrub horse
race for 81 aside being the biggest
thing out. Our opinion is that
whoever fails to go to the Bourbon
fair next year will seriously miss it.

Wonderful I'm its Results.

There is no medicine that has ac-
complished so much as Shiloh's Con-
sumption Cure. He has established
the fact that Consumption can be
cured, while for Coughs, Asthma,
Bronchitis, Group, Hoarsenss, Whoop-
ing Cough, and all lung diseases it
has no equal. No medicine was
ever sold on such favorable terms.
III it was unrelible it would be the
greatest folly TO guarantee it. 1t costs
nothing to try it as il can be returned
IL IL does not give satisfaction after
using two-thirds OF bottle. Call at
my store and get a sample bottle for
10 cents or a regular size for so cents
or Sl.00. III your Lungs are sore or
Chest or back lame use Shiloh's Bell
adona Plaster which seldom fails to
give relief. Sold by l.. TANNER, Plym-

think it is heightened, have been in
the habit Of eating up their substance
a year ahead of earning it, and as
general rule have been that much in
debt TO the merchant. Settling time
has come, and they now demand that
settlement shall be made at the rate
Of pound of cotton for a pound OF
bacon, regardless OF the money price
for either article. The Mississippi
farmer is trifle ahead of his north
ern brother in practice, though not in
theory. 1t only needs the element of
trades union violence to carry out
the spirit of grangerism to its legiti-
mate conclusions. The AGRICULTURAL
population are notorious, the world
over, for their lack OF commercial
honor. When business man owes
money which has to be paid at GER
tain time he sells anything he has to
sell, at the best price he can get, to
raise the money with which to meet
his obligation. But il the farmer
oves money, and the wheat or pork
quotations don't happen to be as high
as he thinks they ought to be, he
holds on to his produce, and lets his
creditor wait. He ''lets the other fell
low walk the floor" He thinks his
creditors ought to be satisfied with
the knowledge of the fact that he
(the farmer) is good" for the debt
that it will be paid sometime.

capturing the hard times, when money was
very scarce, we sent THE REPUBLICAN to
many good men who wanted the paper, but
were unprepared to pay in advance. 1t must
net be supposed that we will always do this
thing For in trusting some good men for
the paper we are so unfortunate as to. also. oc-
casionally trust some one who will never
pay. We are not well enough acquainted to
avoid this. One subscription thus lost will
absorb all the profits On a good many others,
and to protect ourself, in this new-era of
good times. we mus. insist that every sub
scriber pay in advance. 1t is only trifie to
each one. but these 'triies'' soon make a
large sum TO Us. Pay-in-advance is the rule.
If any subscriber desires to discontinue
his paper he must pay all arrerrages.
II we shall. at any time, determine to cut
of any subscribers name we wish it dis
tinctly understood that we shall take meas
ures to collect all due us on subscription.
Paste this entire notice in your hat. for
every day reference and pious reflection. ia

From time to time immortal the
world has been complete series OF
prosperity and adversely. Kingdoms
and Empires have attained mary
elous degree of prosperity. and in a
few years decline and leave nothing
TO denote their former greatn esq but
rhymes of poets and facts of histor-
ians. Mems lives are almost an exact
counterpart OF a nations progress.
Some OF their successes are built up
by continued effort and others seem
almost spontaneous, and men IL they
are not careful will even in their
short lives see their fortunes decline.
As men or nations lose others gain
correspondingly. Men absorbed in
amassing fortunes often forget the
precaution necessary TO retain it. AS
"lands are the basis of security" so
are perfect titles the basis Of lands,
and to have any assurance OF sole
ownership they should have a COM
plete abstract so by glancing over it
they can see the defects and have them
remedied. Do not wait. for through
your neglect you may cause your
widows and children to be defrauded
by INSCRIPTIONS men, all because
you have either been too careless to
attend to 1t, or afraid to expend few
dollars. Many men are not aware
that nine tenths OF the farmers even
in this county, have defective titles
whereby unprincipled men could de-
fraud them of their homes; but such
the fact. III. Corbin & Co. are pre-
pared to give YOU complete abstract
to your lands and remedy any defect
in your title as they have the only
complete set of abstracts in Marshall
county. III. Corbin the senior has
had twenty years experience in lands.
John W. Houghton who is connected
with the above firm, has been the
county Recorder for eight years and
has obtained thorough knowledge of
titles. Give them a call.

MURPHY NOTES.

A temperance restaurant will be in
operation at the blue ribbon hall in a
week or.so.
Stated meetings will now be held on
Tuesday and Friday evenings at the
temperance hall.
There will soon be band OF MUIR
phyites encircling Marshall and Full
ton counties.
A retailer of liquid refreshments
wishes Yellowr river to rise and sweep
all the Plymouth blue ribbonites down
stream.
A grand Northern Indiana mass
meeting to be held some time next
month is contemplated by the Muir
phyites.
Rev. ID. p. Downs, OF Warsaw, adj
dressed large audience at the blue
ribbon hall Saturday evening, in q
lengthy and mastery speech.
Two Plymouth delegates visited
Marmont last week and started
the Murphy movement. Forty-seven
names were secured, and it bids fair
to increase rapidly.
A Plymouth vendor OF fire water
accosted Murphyite last Sunday
morning with the invitation TO take a
drink. and with the indignant mega
tive answer he received, beat quiet
retreat.
The Sunday afternoon meeting was
unusually largely attended. Several
short and logical addresses were made
by Messrs. Chase, Stringer, Downs,
Gallagher, and President Kelley, with
the addition of several names.

In the New York state republican
convention of last week there was a
furious bout concerning the endorse
ment of the Presidential policy.
Conkling assailed Hayes in vehement
style, being seconded by others.
Curtis, editor of Harper's Weekly de-
Tended the administration and de-
nounced the attempt to condemn
him. 1t was most exciting oc-
casion. What effect this will have in
the campaign is not quite certain.
Conkling is power in New York; so
are all the republicans who are TAX
ing an active interest in this cam
paign, and each one will be on his
mettle to sustain the position he has
taken, What will be the final result
Is easy to predict, il the conflict con-
tinues-The State of New York will
be given to the democrats in all OF its
departments. This is to be regret
ted, for a united republican fight
would have saved the state this year.
The press comments are quite d.
verse. The leading republican and
independent papers of New York con-
denn the opposition to Hayes, while
the democratic papers make. such
comments as they think most likely
to iniure the republican party. No
idea as to public sentiment can be
gained from them. A few republic
can papers pat Conkling on the
shoulder. 1t is quite certain that a
large bulk OF the republicans will sus-
tain the President, but the conflict
at this time is quite unfortunate for
the party
