THE FACTS.
Commuicatlon.)
Many of the readers of tho paixirs of
this county, perhaps, have noticed the
reflection marie on mo by Mr. A. B. Me
Lain by intimating that I was roponsi.
ble for theoloction of a Democratic Sen
ator four years ago.
To the people of Jefferson county such
statements cannot be made without
bringing to their minds the thought of
both injustice to me and condemnation
of their own wishes and instructions,
nd among the four thousand Republi
can voters of this county, who by thoir
ballots endorsed my conduct In follow
ing the Instructions of the Republican
party In this county by sacrificing my
self for its interests, there were none
more determined that I should remain
In the field than Mr. McLaln.
In justice to myself and Jefferson
county, I would just state that there
never was a more manly contest, or one
more free from corruption than that of
four years ago. It will be remembered
that I was willing, and did propose to Mr.
Hood for both to withdraw and for our
conferees to select any Jefferson county
man as the nominee of this district, as it
was conceded by all to be Jefferson
county's time to have thut office. This
proposition was refused by Mr. Hood,
who said "If we are to have a Jefferson
!Ounty Senator we would prefer you to
any other man." This county was de
termined to have its rights and would
have refused me the privilege to with
draw, had I asked it. I feel that Mr.
McLaln has made a mistake to mention
the contest of four years ago, and I do
ask the Republicans of this county U
Investigate and recall my course in that
campaign, and I think they will easily
find that my course at that time was en
tirely in hurmony with tho wishes of
the Republican voters of the county.
They will also find thut I am a man who
will follow the instructions of the Re
publican party of this county and will
remain trust worthy to those who place
confidence in me. Wm. C. Bond.

STATE SENATORIAL QUESTION.
What the Indiana Papers Say of Capt,
James O. Mitchell.
A welcome visitor to our town lwit
week was I 'apt. James (. Mitcnoll, of
I"errjsvlllo, Jefferson county. He is an
extremely eonipnnlonnblo gentleman
nntl a thnrouirh business man. Although
ho was nut here "fence building" yet it
is known that tho Captain is a candi
date lor Mtnte Monato in this district.
Ho is eomtetont for the honorable
position and without (lispncngenimit
to tne aspirations oi cHndtdntes pre
sented fur the plitce by Imlinnn cottntv
we miiy freely say that if Mr. Mitchell
secures the nomination, this county
will give him an old fashioned popular
majority. He has kept himself from the
contentions that have invoked a degree
of hostility between tho working force
in tho several counties of tho district.
Indiana 1'myrrm, March Id, '1)2.
Captain .T.G. Mitchell, of Pertysvlllo,
Jefferson county, while returning from
a business trip to the east, stopped off
here a day or two. The Captain is a
candidate for Senator in Jefferson
county. Indiana county will urge the
selection of the candidate who secures
tho nomination in this county on the
Dth of April: but should Captain Mitchell
secure the endorsement of his own
county and the district nomination, ho
will doubtless get the solid Republican
vote of this county. Ho has been for
tunate in keeping out of the Senatorial
complications and would not be handi
capped, besides he is a clever fellow
and would muko an efficient Senator.
Indiana Minrnqrr, March lfl, '112.
"Jim" Mitchell, of Perrysville, a
prominent merchant and a candidate
for tho Republican nomination for
Sonator in Jefierson county, and a whole
souled, genial gentleman besides, was
here on Saturday and remained over
Sunday. If we must have a Republican
Senator give us Mitchell, and plenty of

Theie is a horse in this town which
has a double mission in life. Ono part
of it is to get to fires as rapidly as possi
ble with a ton or two or apparatus be
hind it; the other is to make as ninny
vacancies as possible in the police force.
The animal is a valuable one, well
trained nnd good to look at. For the
firemen it has a professional regard, to
ward citizens in general it litis tho
liauKhtiness which generally goes forth
with a place in the public, service, but
toward policemen it displays the fiercest
of antipathies. Tho horse belongs to
one of the companies stationed fur down
town, and the engine house is rather
cramped. People having occasion to
enter the place have to pass closo to the
animal's stall, and as a result the mem
ber of tho police force who has business
in the house is likely to have a lively
time of it. To be safe he has to climb
around back of a tender and then tiinko
his way along with the caution needed
to keep him out of range of the horse's
hoofs.
If he comes near the animal, it is a
bite or a kick, according to the end
which is approached. The firemen who
are thoroughly acquainted with tho pe
culiarities of the steed have a very rea
sonable explanation of its aversion to
brass buttons. It is that at some time a
policeman clubbed it, at a time when
the excitement of fire made him for
get that perhaps a horse may have a
longer memory than a taxpayer and
more time to devote to carrying out
schemes of revenge. Ever since that
day no policeman has been able to a,
preach the horse without having good
reason to repent his temerity. New

Keply raid Tostal Cards.
Reply paid postal cards have been in
use in Austria for many years, and would
be economical and convenient in domes
tic as well as in foreign correspondence.
They are composed of two unseparated
postal cards, folded in the form of a sin
gle card, and need no other fastening.
A correspondent can insure a correct
ly addressed and probably prompt an
swer by writing his full address on the
reply fold of the card before mailing it;
the card, on its first journey, being fold
ed so as to cover the reply address. The
receiver has simply to write his answer
on the reply card, tear it off the inquiry
card and remail it.
If one does not care to preserve the in
quiry or to write a long answer, the
cards need not be separated. In that
case a reply perfectly Intelligible, un
equivocal and binding for all business
purposes may be written in one or two
words in answer to a direct question.
The word "yes" or "no" or "forty"
or "41 Temple Place" or "Boston" or
"Smith & Jones" or "8 per cent." or any
other short replies, signed with initials
or full name, without any heading of
place or data, would, in connection with
the attached Inquiry card, convey as full
and definite an answer, and show as
plainly when, where and by whom it
was written, as an answer on an ordi
nary card or letter that contain besides
place, date and address a summary of
the inquiry to which it is a reply.

The original discoverer of New Zen

called klore by tho natives. The kiore
is now almost extinct at times, but oc
casionally appears in extraordinary nutii

and going, no one knows whither, tu
1886 the west coast (no other portion) of
the island was overrun by countless
millions of them, each pressing forward
as rapidly as possible, seeming to have
but one idea in view to get away from
the place with all speed. They were
never seen to eat and moved at a steady
gait night and day.
Thousands and thousands of them per
ished from hunger and the attack of a
larger imported rat. For eleven week
the coast for 180 miles literally swarmed
with kiores, but at last they suddenly
disappeared. That wa six year ago.

they went "New Zealand After Fifty
