Just as Lincoln Left 1t.

EVANSVILLE, H., June 30.-A
queer bit of ancient history has just
come to light. In October 1853, Mr..
Lincoln delivered a speech in the
Courtyard Park in Carthage, and the
next day his friend, Alex SIMPSON,
drove him to Biandsville. Mr.. Lincoln
was the guest of Capt. Hume, that
night, after making a speech. The
next morning Mr.. Lincoln departed
for Carthage.
After Mr.. Lincoln's departure from
Captain Hume's home, the room in
which he slept was locked. and has re.
manned so to this day. There has not
been thing in tine room disturbed
from the way it was left by him. The
same bed is still in the room, the bed
clothes just as when he arose. The
furniture stands where did when Mr..
Lincoln occupied the room. Captain
Hume has never taken pains to make
this curious fact public, and it has
just become Of general knowledge.

THE Republicans of the State can
not now we'll recede from the advanc-
ed position taken by the State Central
Committee on the plan and time of
naming the successor to Senator Geo.
Shoup. To recede would be to mis-
trust the fitness and ability of the
people to carry out that important
duty. To leave the matter in the
hands of the Legislators as Of old
would be to say let the politicians
have the right of way; they can han
die Legislators better than they can
the people, for they are fewer in num-
Der. The committee made a free offer
ing to the people; now let them with
draw its hand and the gift and it will
hear a roar as roaring of mighty
waters. The committee is in for it.
1t looks as if it cannot go forward; as
if it dare not turn back The quick
sand is soft and shakey under its feet
while standing still, and we watch
with interest its movements for July.

State warrants are selling for 80 cts
on the dollar. The State tax is 50
cents on the 800 valuation of prop
erty. The discount then means that
the IS cent tax is not enough to meet
the current expenses of the State. If
the present administration is running
the State in debt, it is time for a
change in the administration. And
above all it Is time to change the
treasurer and put In man of suffl-
cieut financial ability to hold the war
rants at par. A change of treasurer
is better than an increase of taxation.

Where Marriage Is a Failure.

Nine-tenths Of the unhappy marriag.
es are the result Of green human calves
without any yoke on them. They
marry and have children before they
do moustaches They are fathers of
twins before they own two pairs Of
pants, and the little girls they marry
are old women before they are twenty
years old. Occasionally one Of these
marriages turns out all right, but it is
a pure case OF luck. If there was a
law against young galoots marrying
before they have cut all their teeth
we suppose the little chaps would
evade 1t some way. But their ought
to be a sentiment against it.
1t is time enough for these bantams
to think Of finding a pullet when they
have raised money enough to build a
home.
But they see q girl that looks cute,
and they are afraid there are not
enough to go around and they begin
to spark real spry, and before they
know it they are hitched for life.-Ex.

A call at the rooms Of the fire relief
committee, on Third street, yesterday,
revealed busy scene. All over the
room were huge piles of clothing, pro-
visions, etc. George II. Finch and Dea-
con Wilson seemed to be the good genii
of the place. Mr.. Finch said that the
committee should not send out any
thing probably yesterday, unless it
might be perishaole supplies. In event
of doing so this would go to Pine City.
The workers seemed never to weary in
welI-doing, and Mr.. Finch stated that
the volunteers in the work OF sort
ing, packing and getting, clething.
etc., ready for shipment had been
so numerous, that the committee
had been compelled to refuse their
| protfers of aid. 1t is something really
| marvellous to see how much stuff has
| accumulated in few days, besides
that which has been sent out. Tuesday
| night Mr.. Finch went to Cumberland,
Wis. 1t was hard work for the CON-
mittee to get matters ready, but they
did so, and there were
| Sent Out Sixty.four Packages
to Cumberland and forty-four to Shell
Lake, besides other packages dropped
along at intermediate points where aid
was needed.
"We shall send out no more till we
are advised where to CONGRATULATIONS -
said Mr.. Finch. 1--WE have a great
abundance of clothing and provisions.
What is most needed is household fur
niture-tables, chairs, etc. Let the good
people give US what we require of these
things. and we will see that they are
properly bestowed. Everybody is help
ing great deal. The Brotherhood of
Elks have been very active in the good
work. Bedding. mattresses, springs,
beds. etc., are greatly needed" ~

names and addresses, as well as that of
friends, if they have any. In order that
the privilege of free transportation may

nan Lumber company will discon tinue
its business at Hinckiey. employment

down the population to about 200. he
thought. Many of the employees Of
that company have balances still due

This will be paid as soon as the parties
to whom it is due can be identified. Mr..
