RYAN,S GLADE.


Seeing a request a few weeks ago
in the columns of THE REPUBLICAN
by the editor for correspondents to
send in the local news of the different
sections, / embrace the opportunity
of giving the happenings in and
around this place.
We are having all kinds of wea ther
snow and sunshine.
Henry Thompson, who has been
seriously ill for some time, remains
unimproved.
Presiding Elder L. w. Roberts held
quarterly meeting at this place Sat
urday and Sunday and preached two
excellent sermons to large and atten-
tive congregations. Rev. Carder, the
pastor in charge, is now holding a
series of meetings here. We hope for
a great revival.
Jacob Cover, our hustling mer-
chant, is doing a lively business. We
are informed that he has bought the
saw mill and cider press formerly
owned by l. w. Thompson. We wish
him success.
John A. Martin received a painful
injury the other day while splitting
wood, a splinter flying and hitting
him in the eye Fortunately the
splinter missed the sight of the eye.
b. w. Harvey is prospecting for
coal on J. B. Shockey's land. He
thinks he can locate the five-foot
seam of coal.
}. b. Shockey recently butchered
two fine porkers. They were less
than year old and one netted 313
pounds and the other 332 pounds.
Who can beat that?
James Harvey, of near Blaine, is
visiting his aged mother and other
friends in this vicinity.
The Epworth League and Sunday
school will render an appropriate pro-
gram on Christmas eve: also Christ
mas tree and treat for the Sunday
school.
Our public school is progressing
nicely under the skilful direction of
Howard Hutson. Howard has made
many friends since he came here.
G. G. Harvey is about to make sale
of a portion of his farm.

Mr.. Thrasher, of Deer Park, was
here Saturday getting signers on his
petition for the establishment of a
rural free delivery. We hope it will
be success, as it is very inconveni.
ent for the people to get their mail
being SO far from the postoffice.

"Short skirts are good things for
the women to wear on the dirty
streets, from a hygienic point of view
but would not think of trying to in
fluence them in such matters. Wom-
en- will wear what they please. And
my experience, which covers long
period of time, is TO let them alone
when it comes to matters of dress"
Such was Health Officer Bosleys
comment in Baltimore on the deter
mination of Health Officer Meigs, of
Bayonne, n. j., to have the health
board pass an ordinance fixing the
length of women skirts. His idea, so
it is stated, is to have any woman
fined by the board for wearing in
public skirt of greater length than
the health board and Commissioner
Meigs may approve. The plan is
given as the commissioner remedy
for 1.-The dirty street nuisance" in
Bayonne, and Mr.. Meigs declares that
he is not joking. He gave notice sew
eral weeks ago of his proposed ordi-
nance, and when he was to have in
troduced it there was big crowd of
interested townspeople present to
hear the discussion the proposition
was bound to provoke.

DAVIES COUNTY MEN.


Frank Sefrit and John c. Billheimer,
prominent Republicans OF Washington,
Daviess county, were at the Denison Hotel
yesterday. Mr.. Billheimer was formerly
consul to Zanzibar. He is a candidate for
committeeman from the Second district to
succeed Nat u. Hill, and Mr.. Sefrit says
he will be elected. Harvey Cushman, SUI
perintendent of schools of Greene county,
is also a candidate for committeeman. Mr..
Sefrit thinks that John c. Cheney, OF
Sullivan. will probably be nominated to
make the race for Congress on the Repub-
lican ticket in the Second district. Mayor
Johnson. OF Bedford, is also a candidate, it
is understood. Representative Miers, of
Bloomington. was elected by the Democ-
racy the last time by a good-sized major
ity. The Republicans of the district say
however. that the Populsts all voted for
Miers, but that since the election their or
ganization is broken up, and it is believed
that a Republican nominee will stand a
better opportunity of election next time
Mr. Sefrit says that DavieSs county has
had more Populists within its boundaries
than any county In the United States. Ii
is also said that the Second district has
more pensioners than any district in the
country Mr.. Sefrit points with pride to
the fact that in the last national election
Daviess and Martin counties together
showed a gain OF 1000 votes for Mckinley

Concerning Representative Robinson's bill,
