Their the rooster that rode into the city
IN jim Aldersons' buggy Friday wanted
to be in it'or not. undoubtedly he wish
ed himself back on the poor farm ere
the sprinting INDUCED in by several boys
had ceased, which his visit to the city
occasioned. Superintendent Anderson
was not aware of Mr.. BOOSTERS presence
in the buggy when he started for town.
and was not appraised of it until ready
to return to the Asylum, when in put
ting some bundles under the seat he
disturbed the fowl, which flew over into
the Court Yard. Then the fun common

rooster was making tracks the last time
we saw him, are inclined to think be

e. l.. Harris. of Evansville. repre-
senting the Wisconsin Soap Company
has adopted unique plar for introdu-
cling his soap. which he says is meeting
with marked success. His plan is TO
have boys peddle coupons to families,
which they sell for % cents apiece and
from that up to $3.50. This cupon
entities the holder TO a certain number
of bars of soap, according to the price
paid for the cupons, which is pre-.

two boys who sell the largest mum ber Of
cupons in twenty days. The watches
which are to be given as prizes are to
be seen at L. j. Ba OWNS Jewelry store.
We have number of rustling boys in
the city and doubtless the race for the
prizes will be interesting.
1t is evident, but few are aware
of the fact that the time of departure
of the morning train has been changed
! from 9:10 A. NJ. to 9 A. NJ. Nearly
every morning some person or persons
land at the depot about five minutes to
late to catch the train. and sometime
the Unfortunate one arrives there Just in
time to see the train puff out of sight
into the small grove on Mr.. Abram's
farm. Naturally, the individual thus
unceremoniously left behind becomes
infuriated, charges into the depot, and
demands an explanation. He or she.
as the case may be. is informed that
the train leaves ten minutes earlier
than formerly, which. although unsatis-
factory, usually has a quietlng effect.
Those who contemplate a trip in Mil
Yankees direction, please remember
that the train departs at 8 A NJ. and
not at 9:10A NJ. and you will avoid
disappointment and inconvenience.
The dry, warm weather of the past
week has greatly frightened the crop
prospect in this county. Corn has
developed into healthy and promising
crop from a pale and siokly looking
cereal. Oats and wheat have also inn
proved much and it needs only few
more pleasant days to ripen the rye
fields. The damage to crops by rain
has been greatly over estimated, but in
places where it washed and in flooded
regions the damage was great. Hay
bottoms have been considerably dam
aged by floods, but not to such an
axtent but that the Yield, it is estimated,
will be larger than it was last year.
Tane hay is in an excellent condition,
ready to be cut and put up. 1t we are
favored with sufiiciency of fair
weather, the crop yield this fall will be
as large as usual; a general good feel
ing will exist in every quarter and Re
publican success in the county in the
fall election, will be practically insured.
There have been man y surmises as to
the cause Of the fire at the oil depor last
Monday. Among them are sparks from
locomotive, incendiarism ard sponta-
neous combustion. The time of day
and publicity If the place makes incin-
diarism very improbable indeed. The
theory of spontaneous combustion is
practically untenable from the fact that
it can take pace only under certain
conditions and those conditions were
entirely wanting Kerosene, gasolin
and other volatil oils do not seem capa-
