Little Probability Of Air Line Branches
Being Sold.

The story that the Monon would
purchase the Evansville, Rockport,
|Cannelton and Jasper branches of
the Air Line is not credited in rail-
road circles here.
Local employees of the Air Line
say there was no prominent official
Of that road here Wednesday, who
could have started the story. The
plan to have the Monon purchase
the branches and build line twen-
ty-six miles in length from Jasper,
Ind, to French Lick, Ind, to con-
meet with the present line OF the
Mcnon, has been a pet hobby Of
Gustave Koerner of Jasper for some
years. At different times some OF
the Monon officials have gene over
the route of the proposed extension,
but nothing has been done to warrant
the belief that the Monon seriously
considered purchasing the branches
and building the extension.
Travelling Passenger Agent STRAIT
ton of the Air Line was in Evans
vile Thursday and said there was
in the rumor as far as he
knew. He has heard the same
rumor at various times and places
along the line Of the road and when
traced to their source all the stories
start from Koerner's desire to have
the deal made.
One railro3d man said Thursday
Evansville starts more railroads
on paper and makes more railroad
deals than any other place in the
United States. If all were built you
could not step out of the house
being run over. Evans
vile Courier.
Our Evansville contemporary is
in Mr.. Gus. Koerner's
residence. He lives in Hunting
burg, and the proposed deal has
been favorite desire of several
people of that city for some time,
but no one in Jasper wants such
deal. Jasper citizens recognize that
the town is better off as a terminus
han it would be as way station on
my railroad. Our people are favor
IDLY inclined to the Black Diamond
project if it develops financial
strength enough 10 insure its being
'uilt. Otherwise they would like
IN Independent road to our neigh
,oring city Of Washington, or any
'ther project which will furnish
Jasper an additional railroad, with
nough strength to be in no danger
# being swallowed by the Air Line.

RESOLUTIONS on TEMPERANCE.
Adopted BY the Northwest Ind ana Con,
terence N. f. Chu ch.

We continue 10 recognize in the
liquor traffic deadly foe To the
individual, the church and the stat
Its work is Numerically opposed to
the work OF Chrl.t. hence il de-
mands our increasing and uncom-
promising opposition. The traffic
expects this op, o>ition, the world
comedies it, and God demands it.
In activity or equlvocation it is de-
Istructlve to the moral force of the
church and is disloyalty to God.
Declarations and resolutions are
but sounding brass unless followed
by earnest effort to secure their
recitation, and the world expects
the Christian church to be as sound
in practice as il is in profession.
Realizing more and more the
growing power of this arch enemy
|of humanity, and on. renewed call
TO duty, therefore
Resolved, Cd That we declare
relentless hostility to the liquor
traffic, and use every available
means, especially the elective fran
chise, to rescue our country from
its dishonorable and criminal com
plicity with it; that we shall en-
deavor to call the whole church to
action, fixed in purpose and con
secrated TO the work Of extermina
ting the traffic.
(2) That we condemn all meth
DDS OF dealing with the liquor traffic
which embody any phase OF the
license system. That in accepting
money for such a license or tax,
our government becomes a partner
in this criminal business. And we
protest against the use of this mon
sy Tor educational, municipal or
state purposes.
(3) That we urge more faithful
and earnest attention by our Scn-
lay schools to the regular quarterly
lessons.
(4) That in harmony with the
of our last general
conference, we set apart the third
Slrday in October each year, or
some approximate day, to be OBJ
served as Temperance Sundayin all
,ur churches, by providing under
direction of the pastor addresses and
'ther exercises suited to inculcate
he principles OF temperance and

BETTER HIGHWAYS.

While the voters of our county
are being interviewed by the various
candidates regarding their chances
for the erstwhile nominations. &c.
perhaps it would not be amiss to
agitate the question of better
roads. If there is anything these
days to discourage the acreage
farmer, it l. the bad roads, and the
streets OF Jasper, are without doubt
the worst specimens in fhe county.
There may be some excuse for the
poor conditions of our country
roads, but there is none for the pitt
able condition of the highways in
our capital city. If a farmer man
ages to bring a load Of produce to
town the chances are tnat he will
get stuck in ;he mud on some of
our beautiful public streets. Let's
quit talking politics, Hawaiian an
nexation, Cuban War, Klondike
Explorations, DC, and get our
heads together and resolve for a
be;terment OF the public highways of
Dubois county. A CITIZEN.
If "A Citizen" would suggest
some practicable means of fixing
lsper streets, within the reach of
our people, ne would deserve the
thanks OF other citizens. But it is
much easier to criticise than to cor
!, ct evils. The old fashioned
roads are obsolete for
towns, and no live place would
spend dollar for them. Let "a
Citizen" or any one else, suggest
some thing better than soft, easy
mud roads, or subside into silence
)n the subject.

State Legislature should restore the

10 cents on each 800, instead of,
as at present, IL cents. This would
enable the poorer townships in the
State TO have 5 or 6 months terms

matter of justice to the people, who
are expected to legally and person
ally protect the wealthy people of
the State.

To the editor OF the ". G. T. L. Column.
The good law abiding citizens Of
Portersvi.le have been talking about
about indicting some of the Daviess
county boys. When people do not
do right | am in favor of enforcing
the law. Now it is an old saying
and true, that charity begins at
home; enforce the law against your
saloon keepers for selling to minors,
AMI to those that are in the habit of
getting drunk, also to those that are
drunk. Stop this low business,
and get your houses o. illfame and
low degree out of your town, and
vicinity, then you can talk about
prosecuting others. Do not have
those evil temptations for young
men, and old married men, who
run to those places. You have
them; get rid of them, for they are
two of the worst evils that has ever
laid its monster hand on the
human race.
Come out from behind the scenes,
you good religious church members;
stop going to the saloon, and set
good example, and live up to your
professions, if you have any. Sim
ply having your name on the church
record is not going TO save you,
neither will it, stop your boys
from going to the devils provision
store to get your supply of knowl-
edge to commit crime Of every con-
ceivable character. Saloon men
are licensed to induce people who
buy goods at their store to whip
their wives, and torture their child
rem, that they may grow up in ig-
norance, want and shame; also to
lie, rob, steal and murder. Awake
hen, good citizens and do your
duty; clean out your filthy lucre
rom among you and from your.
children. Show your colors; get
,ut of that worshipping idols, and
come to the front. 1t is fraud to
a fraud. You know the.
aw, and if you don't enforce il you.
are equally guilty Of violating the,

A "SCRUBRING" SERVICE.
Novel Methods of English Clergymen
to Attract Congregations.

~
a novel church service is announced
to be held at st. Laurence church,
Birmingham. On a recent Sunday the
vicar, Rev. L. j. Bass, invited the con-
gregation to take part in q ~''scruEbing
service" which would be held in the
church next day, beginning at $3.50 and
lasting until 9:30.
Soap, water and patent %scrubbers
would, he said, be provided, and all the
congregation, male and female, were
eligible to lend 4 hand in cleaning the
church.
The church has had a curious history,
and has been blessed with n curious
collection of Wears. Some eight or
ten years ago the parish, which is the
most poverty stricken in all Birming-
ham, was controlled by Rev. ]. F. NJ.
Whish, and he, finding the services
languishing from lack of worshipers,
hit upon all sorts of queer expedients
for compelling them to come in.
He announced the most flaming
series of discourses ever given public
ity to by handful and poster. pigeon
flying" "A Good Day on the Course"
and kindred topics were dealt with in
stead of orthodox Sc%riptural topics.
Thousands of printed cards were cir
culated each week, bearing such affec-
tionate inscriptions as:
Come and hear your old pal, the Rev.
J. F. NJ. Whish."
"Now, then, buck up! Give your old
pal Whish another trial."
Other cards would contain an ex-
hortation signed:
81 remain, your true pal, ]. F. Nj.
Whish."
This original vicar would go into
public houses during the dinner hour,
and, addressing the company, would
say:
We'll. gentlemen, you have given my
friend the landlord n good turn; now
finish up at my little place on the other
side of the road"
Special services were held-one week
for pigeon flyers, another week for
sweeps and a third for sandwich men.
Mr.. Whish's successor was as devoted
and faithful n vicar as his predecessor,
but lacked Mr.. Whish's humor and dis
erection. He gave so narrowing n de-
scriptiOn of the denizens of the courts
and alleys in the parish to a local jour
nalist that those whom he freely de-
scribCd as hawkers, rogues and loose
women resented his descriptions Of
them by breaking his windows.
Now a washing service is announced,
and doubtless the interior of the church
warrants the appeal made for the serv-
ices of an army of cleaners.-London

Empress Eugenic.s PIayfuIne.s.

Some time ago Empress Eugene was
a capital hand at Willing away her own
and other peoples time, when residing
at obscure watering places. where the
accustomed resources of royal gaiety
were at fault. One game that she in
vented, and which gave much delight.
was this: \ costly jewel was placed
upon n saucer, and covcrd with an in
verted teacup; a lady then tossed them
to a gentleman seated on the opposite
side of the room, and if he caught the
flying utensils with such a steady hand
that the jewel was not displaced from
under the cup, the gem became the
property of the lady. OF course, the
gallant who was to "catch," felt an in
ten solicitude, inasmuch as the prize
for the lady which his adroitness might
gain or his awkwardness lose, had a
value which rendered its possession
ceedingly desirable and made its loss
actually felt. It is said that the en-
peror was the best Catcher of them
all; and when he was present the game
was played with an enthusiasm which
would rival that of a thickly populated
uursery.-N. y. Ledger.

TO MAKE SHOES LAST LONG.
An Observant Man Gives Some Point
ers to His Fellow Men.

y man who is a city man and has been
a patron of boot stands for 80 years,
has learned something about shoes and
how they should be cared for.
Il do not buy the most expensive
footwear" he said, because l consider
it to be Il waste of money, but a pair of
shoes Will last me two years before
they show n sign of break. They have
to be reheeled always and sometimes
half-soled, but the uppers are good gen.
orally when 1 get tired of them and
throw them away. 1t is all a matter
of supplying the leather with the oil
that it got from the animal in Il nat
ural way when it was hide and I'M
tanned. If you will remember, tam
mic acid is used on the hide in prepar-
ing it for commerce, and that is very
drying. Instead. leather in which too
much of it has been used can never be
made durable. 1t cracks and breaks
in a little while. 1 am talking now of
black shoes. l do not wear ans or
greens. 1 am not so foolish as that.
Insist always that your bootblack
shall use a slight quantity of oil when
giving you n shine. Rubbing a little of
it on with a rag will do. 1t sinks in
readily, and, as it prepares the surface,
you get a better and more lasting shine.
No bootblaek will do this unless you
tell him, because the bootblack is about
the most trifing human being that
lives. 1t is his idea always to get
through the world with as little trouble
as possible to him. He has an easy and
lucrative way of making a living. and
he does not propose to change it in
any way unless you make him.
after the oil and backing have been
put on, see that the final polishing is
done with 4 piece of canton flannel.
Brushes have a tendency to roughen
the leather, and the cloth works the
oil into the shoe more perfectly. \
shine Of this kind obtained from a COM ;
petent man will last two days, ard
look well at the end of the second
in dry weather. Never allow anyone
Of the prepared po.ishes. They are all
injurious. Three oil shines Il week. and
you will find your shoes lasting as long
as mine do. 1t is n big saving in the
course of a year or two.'-Chicago
TimeS-Uerald.
