MY Wife Receives.

NY wife receives to-day from four till six;
left her busy with the candlesticks,
Her mind intent on patties and croquettes
So they're identified with modish sets,
Saints sinners, churchmen and rank here
ticA
My wife receives.
This gossip comes just as that gossip picks
Her homeward way across the garden
bricks
A hundred hidden, and not one regrets
My wife receives.
This is the game in which take no tricks;
IT'S mine to soothe the butler if he kicks,
To dine down town because Eliza frets
Of overwork--smoke' cheaper cigarettes,
And on the first the little bills to fix
My wife receives.

AFTER A JUDGESHIP
MYERS AND GOODYKOONTs KICK
UP A ROW IN MADISON COUNTY.
Incipienf Riot I'm Judge Kfrkpat-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Feb pa fierce fac
tional Democratic fight is now being waged
over the appointment of judge of the
Superior Court of Madison county. There
are two avowed candidates and their friends
are engaged in what promises to be a war
TO the bitter end. w. S. Diven, one of the
younger attorneys, is backed by the county
ring and the attorneys at the bar almost
regardless of political affiliations. Ex-Judge
Eli r. Goodykoonts is an open candidate
for the position and has at his back a
powerful following in the county. In his
behalf petition has been circulated and
signed by more than two thousand tax
payers of the county. Hon. w: r. Myers,
ex-Secretary of State, D. F. Mustard and
c. K Mccullough are backing the ex-
Judge and are making an appeal to the
county Democracy in his behalf. Ed D..
Reardon, who was recently appointed as
master commissioner, is also an avowed
candidate for the position and hopes to
get the place a compromise candidate
The Republicans are taking no active part
in the fight but are content to see the
Democracy hopelessly divide on a question
of spoils.

that the Mexican man-of-war La Libertad

paired and painted. She is now more than
ten days overdue and there is but little
room to doubt that the steamer foundered

in the Gulf of Mexico from the 10th to
18th. In shipping circles the reported loss
of the La Libertad is generally accepted
as foregone conclusion, and Senior Ia
mora reluctantly takes this view of the
matter. Her crew consists of fifty officers
and men, and it is feared they have all
been lost. The vessel was under the COM
mand of Senior p. H. Saliva.
La Libertad was built in 1876 or 1876 in a
yard near Liverpool, and went into COM
mission Immediately afterwards. She was
equipped with two masts, square rugged
