A curtailed notice reports a local matter in Samitia Washington involving a postortion inquiry. Details on the case and authorities remain unclear from the fragmented source text.
The Star urges Republicans to vote for M. J. Carrigan and George W. Albin for county commissioners, Bob Hodge for sheriff, Otto A. Case for county auditor, and George W. Van derveer for prosecuting attorney. It frames them as honest, capable reformers pledged to end graft and establish efficient county government.
A public critique labels Senator Levi Ankeny a drunkard and bribe-giver. It accuses him of buying a senate seat, corrupting legislators, breaking laws, and betraying the people, urging voters to reject his bid and defend constitutional government.
A humorous dialogue between Mrs. Wicklebridge and Cicero mocks a presidential nomination and the idea of a president ruled by his wife. The exchange features imagined headlines and imagined news reports, escalating to Mrs. Wicklebridge fainting after a quip about a 200 pound wife.

A discussion of bachelors as social fixtures from Sparta to Rome and beyond. It weighs the stigma of bachelorhood against the practical and cultural roles bachelors play in communities, charities, and family life, arguing they are luxuries that keep social life vital.
A wild, surreal transcript from Terre Haute on September 6 centers on Eugene V. Debs and Adolf Lenin-like figures. The mock dialogue depicts Debs defending socialist ideas while mockingly engaging with Adolf about property, class, and ownership amid comic mispronunciations and farcical rhetoric.
A local reform pushed by the council targets loud noises from bowling alleys, gasoline engines, and shops. The measure, championed by Judge Bhoorer, would curb street and business noise and even affect carriages and shoes. Citizens are urged to reduce racket to keep the town peaceful.
