CLEARING HOUSE OF INFORMATION.
'tr y f . -
People in the North, East and Middle West by thou-
sands would like to change their place of residence to
better their condition. But they complain that, hereto-
fore, they have been unable to obtain specific informa-
tion regarding this land of promise. The trouble lies
simply in the lack of effective organized work to pro-
mote immigration in the sections most to be benefited.
And this suggest^ again the clearing house of informa-
tion advocated by the Tribune some days ago. A
number of the leading papers have copied the editorial
referred to, but \ye have seen no comments. The fact
that the suggestion was reproduced is significant that it
was consider^ practical, but the Tribune would be
pleased to hear what others think.
A convention might be called and a central organiza- ¡
tion effected. The call should be issued bv the mayor !
built, it being possible that some other road may desire
the franchise in the future, and be.blocked by the grant
to the Rock Island. And the old question is
in Houston^dth greater interest thai ever,
the Rock Island purpose doing?"
The Tribune desires to renew a suggestion to the
Progressive League in regard to the printing of en-
velopes bearing on the reverse sij¿ a few words de-
scriptive of Orange. The league should have the en-
velopes printed and put in all the stores for sale at tKf
same price as the regular blank stock. Any merchaht
will be willingto handle them. His profits will be the
same and his trouble no greater. Do it now.
And Mm. Maybrick, what of her?

Dispatches state that insurance agents have present-
ed a rather tumorous petition to the Houston city
council, though it is not intended in that light. The
said petition sets forth the fact that none of the1 fire
stations or apparatus is insured against fire, and re-
quests that the city immediately take" out such protec-
tion against a total loss. The city administration holds
the view that if any building does not need insurance
It is a fire station.

ABC LINCOLN.
Som« Remln/ecences of His Indiana
Boyhood.
Until a few years ago there was In
Gentryville an old wooden Are-Shovel,
on which Lincoln had trace! these
words:
Time—what an empty vapor 'tis
And days, how swift they eré;
Swift as an arrow speed our lives.
Swift as the shooting star,
The present moment
The stanxa was not finished but it
was kept for many years until the old
fire shovel disappeared, and Its where-
abouts are unknown to this day.
Thtre used to be an odd character
around Gentn^vllle In Its early days
known as "Old Holmes," who was of-
ten Intoxicated.
One night "Old Holmes" would have
been frosen had It not been for Lin-
coln. who found htm and carried him
home, sitting up all night to resusci-
tate him. The incident started a tem-
perance wave o>er Spencer county,
and the debates were startling and in-
teresting.
Half way up the long wandering
street stood, for many years, an old
blacksmith shop. In front of it was
a wide-spreading tree, that still waves
Its boughs, but every sign of the old
hop is gone.

of that sort—and meanwhile a well-

lingered at the doorway as though
watting for her.

at I tell you that yon ahoold not have
that frock?* And he slapped her upon
the cheek, tore the hank notes from
her hand and stalked away.
"The woman fainted from mortifi-
cation. It was ten minutes before she
was brought to. On her recovery the
manager of.the place said regretfully:
'We are sorry, madam, for this oc-
currence. Your husband—"
"My husband? That Was not my hus-
band,' th "Woman cried. 1 never saw

The fortune of an extremely rich
man Is always an Interesting subject

of curiosity than anything else. It is
usually the frase thai when a fortune

Editor- Johnson of the I.ongview Times-Garion is a
very angry man, and from his own account has good
reason to be. He explains thus:
Some scoundrel who had a knowledge of the print-
er's art, and who evidently commuted the crime of bur-
glary in order to accomplish his dirty purpose, entered
the premises of the Times-Clarion and abstracted one
line from the order of the commissioner's court placing
prohibition into effect in this county. The evident pur-
pose was to give more time in having the result of the
election declared and put into .force, and in order to ac-
complish this the tnethods of the burglar and sneak
thief were adopted. To do such a dirty act would take
a man who was a sneak thief by natu£, a scoundrel by
birth and a contemptible villain by choice. Every effort
will be made, not only by this paper but by the honora-
ble citizenship of this county, to ferret out the scoun-
drel and land him behind the bars of the penitentiary,
where he belongs. In view of all the facts and indul-
gencies upon the question of the publication of this or-
der, the act was most causeless and criminal. While
the act will hSve no effect whatever on the closing of
saloons on the date originally intended by the order of
'the court, it was probably planned by some jack-leg
lawyer who thought by this dint y method to delay the
execution of the will of the majority of the' people of
this county as expressed at the ballot box and #iTe the
saloon men thirty «lore days to continue their business,
file man who platined it and the man who carried' it
much as an army.
. The Crawford achool, which Abra-
ham Lincoln attended was situated
about three rallos from here, it was
built of rouad log*, and was not more
than six feet high.
Some of the older persons of this
county remember their parents telling
*f ^Andrew Crawford and his brother,
floBiah Oráwford, the latter known as
"Blue Nose" Crawford, a name given
him by Abraham Lincoln.
Jo«i*h Crawford once loaned Lin-
coln a copy of "The Life of Washing-
ton," and Lincoln got the book Wet,
for which Crawford charged hip 76
cents, a debt that Lincoln palé by
working for him three days pulling
fodder.
The local history is that he never
forgave Josiah Crawford, and the aame
"Blue Noae" that he Is said to have
given him, is part of the legends of
Spencer county to this day.
Of the enemies that Lincoln made,
none were greater than some of the
members of the Grigsby family, many
of whose descendants «till live in that
neighborhood. Sarah Lincoln, «later
of Abraham Lincoln, married Aaron
Grigaby, and two years later died.
