The Sun announces subscription terms and advertising details. It lists daily delivery six cents weekly, outside-city annual and semiannual rates, monthly rate, and how to contact the business manager editor and advertising department. It invites readers to report delivery issues and to seek agent opportunities.
The Sun urges workingmen to think twice before striking, cites dull trade and mass unemployment, and pledges to report exact smallpox facts despite authorities. It jokes about Col Aubry and Donnelly, notes quarantines possibly extending to Chicago, and comments on politics, labor, and the Senate.
A jumble of humorous remarks by local figures including Trusler Myers Martindale and others mock political life. Mentions 7000 gallons of beer at a Denison house bar, delegates sipping Marcus Sulzer cigars, and candidacy talk for county clerk. A passage on dyspepsia and medical tonics closes the fragment.
The semimonthly horse auction by Buaik and Baker at Kenmesses Street stables on April 25 will offer about 50 head of horses including good speed and road horses. This sale is promoted as a landmark event unseen before in the state.
A six year sample shows Sun liners reach Indianapolis readers. John J. Morand of Frank Bird Transfer Co. reports 252 responses to a small ad in The Sun, arguing liners press the message to the people and offer great value, sometimes free or cheap.
