B. Shively, of this city. This was responded to by Col. Milton S. Robinson, of Anderson, Ind., who made the speech of the day. His eloquence, and the intense loyalty and patriotism which he displayed, called forth frequent and loud bursts of applause from the delighted auditors. Among ither things equally as pointed, Col. Robinson said, after alluding to the insult offered the bo3 r s in blue by lowering -he national flag in honor of Jacob Thompson.

Nothing *; “cisive is likely to be done until to-morrow, when a erdict may be looked for. It is the general opinion hat the jury will hang or the defendant be found guilty. Interest is intense, aud there is some betting on the result . Tri-County Fair at North Manchester. Special to tuo Indianapolis Journal.

It was found that they had never bought goods of Pollard. Pollard and his agents were in this county some time, ind approached several trustees. They offered Dr. Osborne, of Stilesville, $2,500 rebate if he would purchase $5,000 worth of goods, but the Doctor perinptorily dismissed them as swindlers. It is privat*j rumored among knowing ones that anex-trus ee bought a bill of goods of the wily Pollard, aud that the latter failed to "whack up" the usual rebate to him.

In the article, Turpen takes occasion to say that the children in White's Manual Labor Institute, near this city, are never reconciled to their stay, and are "like caged birds or animals, foaming in fetters, and the parents manifest equal impatience.” This extract was shown to an officer of the institute to-day, and he indignantly denied the allegation in toto. saying that the children are perfectly contented, make good farmhands, and are happy and industrious. The results of Indian education in this county have been most flattering. Charged with Burglary. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Rev. C. A, Cary,formerly rector of St. Paul’s Church, Jeffersonville, has accepted a call to Mandey, Fla. The barn of Joseph McCard, situated in Jackson township, Madison county, was totally destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of about $2,000. Junius Longmire, of Belleville, while attempting to get on a moving train at Bridgeport, fell under the cars and was badly hurt. He will probably recover. The barn of Shan White, on the Stotsenberg farm, near Clarksville, was burned, togethe.r with eignt tons of hay. The fire was probably the work of tramps. Col. E. J. Mcßride, of New Albany, has been given a judgment in the Harrison Circuit Court for $2,810.00 against that countyfor orders held by him. William Cox, a prominent and wealthy farmer residing near Columbus, stepped on a rusty nail on Wednesday aud took lock-jaw, dying on Thursday from the effects. * James Rankins, the father-in-law of James Dennis, and who Coffey says in his last confession did the killing of the McMullens, has arrived in (Jrawfordsvillo from the far West. Ham Hanger, of Sellersburg, has brought suit in the Clark Circuit Court, against tne Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for S3OO damages, on account of the loss of his horse and the breaking of his gig. Ben and Walter Laws, aged, respectively, fifteen and fourteen years, who ran away from Mitchel four weeks ago, have been picked up at New Albany. They claim to have kept an apple-stand at the Louisville Exposition. Eight thousand dollars out of the SIO,OOO required have beeu subscribed toward the proposed Hancock County Agricultural Association. Negotiations are pending for the purchase of forty acres adjoining the limits of Greenfield, and commodious buildings will be erected as soon as permanent officers are elected. Papers for a slander suit have been filed in the Union Circuit Court ($5,000 damages) against Moses Harvey, a wealthy farmer of that county, and his wife, by Sarah Kelley, a former domestic in the Har vey family. Sarah says she is wrongfully accused oi stealing a gold wedding ring. The remains of three mastodons have been found in Montgomery county this year. The latest discovery is some large teeth, found in a marsh on the farm of Silas A. Thomas, in Coal Creek township. Thej r were taken to Professor J. M. Coulter, of Wabash College, who pronounced them teeth of a mastodon. Capt. Vincent Kirk died at his home at DeLand, Fla., on Tuosdaj 7 , aged about seventy years. Captain Kirk was a native of Madison, coming to that city when a young man and residing there until five or six years ago, when he went to Florida, in the hope that his health would improve. He was a captain in the Twenty-third Indiana during the war, doing gallant service. Moses T. Kelly, a farmer, living near Rockville, was badly gored by a Jersey bull. He was loading the animal, holding him by a ring in his nose, and relaxed his hold to change hands, when the bull knocked him down, breaking three ribs with one horn and cutting deep gashes under the chin with the other. The farmer's twelve-year-old son then came up with a whip and dealt blows across the brute's eyes, and drove the enraged beast away, saving his father’s life. While several men were constructing a bridge over White Lick, five miles southeast of ( layton, the ropes on a derrick broke and the main shaft of the machine fell, striking James Jeukins, Allan Hagv and John Males. Hagy received slight injuries in the head and abdomen, and after being unconscious for a short time recovered. Males sustained slight oruises about the he ld. Jenkins is suffering from a broken collarbone and a fractured thigh, besides receiving internal injuries which will probably prove fatal. ILLINOIS. A Neat and Very Ingenious Safe Burglary at Marshall. Special to the Indianano’ia Journal. Marshall, Oct. 2.—The safe at Besser & Marvin's mill was opened last night in some way, the burglars using a key of their own to open the money-drawer.

FAILURE OF WM. HEATH & CO. The Collapse Caused by Inability of Customers to Furnish Margins. A Belief that the Suspension Is I)ne to Yanderbilt’B Efforts to Revenge Himself for Henry N. Smith's Treachery. New York, Oct. 2. —There were rumors last evening that a prominent house was in financial difficulties, and the stories took definite shape before the opening of the board this morning. The statement was made that William Heath & Cos. were likely to fail, and that a meeting had been held between Mr. Gould and Mr. Cammack to consider the advisability of assisting them over their present difficulty. As Mr. Heath appeared on the Stock Exchange at the opening, and no further developments were made, the general conclusion was that the rumors were false; but shortly before midday the announcement came from the rostrum of the Stock Exchange that the firm of Wm. Heath & Cos. was unable to meet its obligations. The shock was not nearly as great as many had anticipated. It is impossible, at present, to learn anything definite as to the immediate causes of the failure, but rumor says that the house was short over 100,000 shares of stock, and the general impression of the street is that

the failure is doe largely to the inability or unwillingness of a prominent speculator, who was recently reported in financial trouble, to respond to the demand for additional margins. It is probable that the failure is due to the tardiness of more than one customer, who was heavily short of stocks through the suspended house, to meet the demands made upon them. There have been a iarge number of transactions under the rule for cash in Lake Shore, St. Paul, Lackawanna, Northwestern, Western Union, Union Pacific. New York Central, Jersey Central, Omaha preferred, and Missouri Pacific, under stood to be on account of the suspended firm, but the decline in prices, up to 1 o’clock, was less than 1 per cent., the weakest stocks being Lake Shore, Northwestern and Now York Central. The firm of William Heath & Cos. was composed of William Heath, Charles E. Quincy and Theodore E. Davis. Mr. Heath has been a prominent person on Wall street for about twenty years, and has been conspicuously identified with nearly all the leading operations in the street during that time. Mr. Henry N. Smith, about whom rumors of financial trouble have been afloat for some time past, and who has been a very heavy "bear” operator at times for several years, says: "The failure of William Heath & Cos. is mainly due to my operations in the stock market. 1 supposed the firm was strong enough to carry me through, and up to 10 o’clock this morning I had no idea of their failure. I am now, unfortunately, placed where I cannot pay what I owe, for the firesent. I have been short of the market, beleving the advance to be unwarranted. I shall make an assignment.” The firm is represented in London by the third partner, Thomas E. Davis, and it is understood that the London house of William Heath & Cos. is one of the leadine American houses in that city. Mr. Heath and Mr. Quincy are the representatives here. No shadow of suspicion that Heath & Cos. were not abundantly able to meet all their engagements has existed in Wall street, and the general impression has been that it was among the strongest and most prosperous houses on the street The firm have just made an assignment to A. R. McCauless, the manager of their office, without preferences. It is stated at the office of the firm that contracts for about 100.000 shares of stock are outstanding on the Exchange, principally in the Vanderbilts, Lackawanna and the grangers. Mr. Henry N. Smith has made an assignment to M. Cuming, of the law firm of Vanderpool, Green & Cuming, with for wages and salaries, but the stated. Mr. Smith has been a member of the Stock Exchange since 1877. A prominent broker says: "The effect of the failure is likely to be a quiet market after today, until the street discusses the extent of the losses.” It is claimed that Henry N. Smith owed the firm of William Heath & Cos., about $1,000,000, and that the firm owes its customers about the same amount. The differences to Wall-street houses are not likely to amount to over SIOO,OOO. Heath & Co’s, two seats in the Stock Exchange are good for $50,000, so that houses will lose very little by the failure. It is more likely to strengthen the hands of the "bulls.” as Smith’s operations have often prevented the market from advancing. It is stated that Smith is also responsible for the failure of Soutter & Cos., having owed them about $250,000. It is the opinion of a number of people on the street that Smith’s failure was brought about by William H. Vanderbilt, who advanced the market in order to break Smith, as punishment for Smith’s betrayal of William K. Vanderbilt when they were operating together. It is estimated that Heath was short from 90,000 to 100,000 shares of stock for Smith’s account. All the settlements, as far as Wall street is conccrued. will be completed before 3 o’clock this afternoon by buying in all the stock on which Heath & (Jo. were borrowing. Alexander & Green, as counsel for Giovanni P. Morosini, to-day obtained from Judge Donohue, in the Supreme Court, an attachment against the property of Wm. Heath & Cos. Mr. Morosini says, in the affidavit upon which the attachment was granted, that, for several years past, he has had $480,(100 in cash on deposit with Heath & Cos., subject to his draft, and that the only debit that could properly be made against that amount was for 2,380 shares of the capital stock of the Manhattan Railway Company, of the value of $192,000, and twenty-five secondmortgage bonds of the Metropolitan Elevated Railway Company, of the value of $23,000, which he had ordered the firm to purchase for him, making an aggregate of $215,000. He claims that the firm is in debt to him for $265,000 in cash, and that it also holds these stocks and bonds for him. Mr. Morosini declares that he called at the office of Heath & Cos. yesterday for his money and securities, and was told in reply that the company could not deliver them, as the securities had been hypothecated or sold, and the money had been otherwise dispisedof. He avers that he never authorized Heath & Cos. to make use of his money and securities, and charges that they have assigned and disposed of their property with intent to defraud him and their creditors generally. Charles E. Quincy, one of the members of the firm, Mr. Mdrosini states, lias been in Europe for several months past. He believes he is not a resident of this State, but of some country in Europe unknown to him, and has also attached whatever property he may have in this State. Failures for the Week. NzwYork, Oct. 2.—The business failures occurring throughout the country during the last seven days, as reported by R. G. Dunn & Cos., number, for the United States, 171, and for Canada twenty-five, or a total of 196, as compared with 185 last week, and 178 the week previous to the last. The Western Pacific States furnish one-half of the total casualties reported. The other sections of the country report failures below the average. Suspension of a Nowbnrg Firm. Kingston, N. Y., Oct. 2.— Chas. R. Callahan k Cos., stock brokers, with headquarters at Newburg, failed yesterday. Considerable excitement was caused here by the failure. The firm’s customers lose everything. It will be impossible for the house to resume. The firm had bucket shops at Newburg, Middletown, Haverstraw, Rondout, Catskill, Saugerties aud Poughkeepsie. Mortal Illness of Colonel CundilT. St. Joseph, Mo.. Oct 2. oL J. H. R. Candiff, businesss manager of the St. Louis Republican, is lying at the point of death in this city, his former home. Last night he was stricken with paralvsis, and has remained in an unconscious condition all day, with no hope of recovery. Wliat Pennies Are For. Boston Globe. "I don’t see why pennies were invented,” said a New York banker, who had received a few in change. "Oh, tbat’B easily accounted for," remarked a friend from an adjacent city. "Pen-

nies were invented in order to enable New York millionaires to contribute toward thß erection of public monuments.” CATCHING THE PUBLIC EYE. Making a Living by Writing Advertisements for the Business Hoi/ses. New York Times. In the back room of a Third-avenne lodginghouse there lives a talented young man who ekes out a slender livelihood by writing advertisements for business houses whose proprietors lack the ability to attract attention By their own printed announcements. "Business is dull." said he the other day,, "very dull. I don’t believe I have ever had as hard a time as at present At first, when the merchants went into this illustrated advertising business, I had my hands full. I wrote verses, dialogues, and occasionally drew a clever sketch. This paid very handsomely, but after awhile the large advertisers determined to take the business entirely into their own hands. They employed their own writers, who devote their whole time in originating new schemes in advertising. Then the funny men on the daily papers and the comic artists went into the business, until now there is a hardly a living in it." "Why don’t you go into newspaper work?” asked the reporter.

"My work pays better if I can only get enough oMt. For a poem praising Biggs’s hair dye I get $25, and an exjierienced man can reel off hairdye verses by the yard. For a funny little dialogue describing the efforts of Mr. Snuegings to buy Simpson’s* tooth wash I pet $lO. and if you ever wrote tooth wash dialogues you would never want to do any other kind of work. But the trouble is you can’t sell your work. Now, I have piied away in this drawer forty-seven hair-dye poems—each a Shakspearean gem—twenty-five soap dialogues that would make a rival soap boiler split his sides with laughter, and numberless paragraphs and sketches upon miscellaneous articles of domestic- use. At first when a merchant wouldn’t buy my article I threatened to change the rhyme and work in the name of his rival. This usually fetched him, but now there are so many houses advertising this way that they don’t caro for competition. The worst part of the business, though, is its unreliability. A good many firms will hire you to write them an advertisement, and when you submit it they steal the idea and reject the article. They use the former and you get no pay for it. Last spring I sent word around to several of my customers who had treated me this wav, and told them that if they didn’t pay me promptly I should publish their advertisements myself.”

"That would do you no eood, would it?” "Yes, and it would beat them.” "But if you published any slanders about them you would get into trouble.” "I don’t intend to. I will give you a few specimens of the advertisements I prepared for publication, and if they don’t come to time pretty soon they will see them in cold print.” "A dentist got me to write up his business and then went back on his agreement. I shall say about him that ‘Dr. Molar,’the celebrated dentist whose false teeth are the pride of fashionable society, has a book in which he keeps names of the ladies who have patronized his palatial establishment, which is open to all his customers for reference. . One peculiarity of Dr. Molar's teeth lies in the fact that they are so true to nature that they ache. Only last week he had to kill two exposed nerves in a bicuspid in a false set worn by one of the leadersof Murray Hill society.” "There,” observed the young man, "I guess that is an advertisement the Doctor would pay to keep out of print. The manufacturer .of surgical appliances fooled me the same way once, and l will remark of him that ‘Carl Bandage, the world-renowned manufacturer of false limbs, fitted a cork leg on a man who is on the retired list of the army. So exceedingly nat ural was the work that when he put on a tight boot one dav last month he suffered excruciating agony in his cork foot. He discovered finally that the boot had raised a bunion, and he was obliged to go to a chiropodist to have it treated.’ "I shall write up.” continued the young man, "one or two other men, as follows: "‘Simeon Gastley’s marvelous cure for deafness is all the rage. A small boy, aged seven years, who had been deaf and dumb from infancy, was brought to Mr. Gastley last week. .After two applications of his wonderful specific the lad was not only able to hear and talk, but the third day after his visit he was able to speak and write French, German, English and Spanish with the utmost ease and exactness.’ “ ‘Dr. Samson Bull’s eye water does all that the proprietor claims for it. One day last week Henry Spriggins, of No. 32 Blue street, Podunk, came into the Doctor’s office for treatment. He was totally unable to see out of one eye when he came. When he went away his sight was restored perfectly and he was able to read the finest print backward without wearing spectacles. This marvelous cure was all the more difficult from the fact the ailing eye was made of glass.’ ” THE FOOTLIGHT FASCINATIONS. How and Why So Many Women Are Stage Struck—Domestic Misery an Advantage. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. The money that may be made on the stage allures women. They can earn ten times as much there as they can anywhere else, and, if they can achieve a hit, they may command their own terms. Moreover, wniie the work is hard,* it is exciting; appeals to self-lo\ T e, stimulates all the feminine weaknesses. To be talked of, written about, enthusiastically admired, is very dear to the average Woman. Nearly everybody tires of any regular labor; but an actress never tires of the footlights of an interested audienoe, of cordial applause. These become so much a part of her life as to be almost indispensable. She thinks of them continually; they are to her what office is to an ordinary politician. She is positively unhappy when they are absent: she longs for them with a genuine hunger of what she conceives to be her heart—really her devouring vanity. She would play for nothing rather than not play at all, provided she had a competency. Acting is to the actress the poetry of exertion, the paradise of endeavor. Every year more and more women in the large cities are obliged to earn their own living, and those who are educated or half educated naturally turn to the theater as a source of the largest recompense. Compared with teaching, or standing in a shop, or sewing, or copying, or any of the usual employments of the sex, acting has numberless attractions. So many women who have lefttheir husbands, or whose husbands have left them, have gone upon the stage that it would seem to be a provoc ative of divorce. At one of the leading city theaters last year five of the actresses of the eoinpany were reputed to be ex wives; at another four; at another three. Nearly every theater contains one or more of them. I do not mention this to their discredit, only as a fact. I am inclined to believe that their connubial disharmonies and separation denote a certain fitness for their calling. It would seem to show that they are emotional, intense, sensitive, idealistic. Otherwise they might have endured wedlock more patiently, been less exacting, less susceptible to its annoyances. Besides, their differences and quarrels ought to have rendered them unhappy, at least for a time, and unhappiness is a good teacher for the stage. Many a drama of the day portrays the friction and clashing of wedded couples, and their remembered experience should be equivalent to a number of rehearsals. I remember a clever player, who was highly complimented on her artistic rendering of a most passionate scene between herself and her dramatic lord, of whom aha was supposed to be jealous, and with good cause. A well-known critic said to her: "It was ex ceedingly artistic. It deeply moved me, aud I am, as you are well aware, rather blase.” "There was no art it," she replied; "it was pure nature. I had just such a scene with my late husband, and all I had to do was to repeat it. But this proves how closely allied are nature and art. I doubt if any woman can vividly express what she has not experienced. Men feel what they imagine; we imagine what we have felt." Many of the prominent actresses now before the public have had no histrionic antecedents. Having determined to enter the profession, they studied under competent instructors, of whom there are dozens in this city, and when they had learned their art they appeared, without heralding, in such characters as were adapted to them. They gradually ascended into popular favor, depending as much on work as native ability. A number of drawing actresses have no perceptible talent; but they appeal to their audience in some illegitimate way, some with an excess of clothes, and more with a startling deficiency

Women tend to the stage, as men to bar-rooms, and what a host there is of them, good, bad and indifferent! Management of the Churn. American Dairyman. About nine tenths of the dairymen will build a fire in the morning and start for the cows, taking the dog along, while the dairymaid puts the cream in the churn without testing the temperature, except by putting her fingers in the cream to get out what sticks to the pail. When the man returns with the cows he will put the dog on the power and start the churn, and then do the milkine. Perhaps some cow strayed away, and he was half an hour late before the churn was started, and meanwhile the cream had erot three or four degrees warmer than it was when put in the churn. The dog got tired chasing the stray cow, and stops the churn every time he gets a chance. The churning is prolonged into the heat of the day, until someone of the family comes aloDg and discovers that “the butter has come.” Just at that time the housewife or maid hasher “hands in the dough,” or something else, and can’t attend to the butter until she has that job done. So the churn stands fifteen or twenty minutes longer. When she takes the butter from the churn it is white and soft, so she puts it into ice water for an hour or so, and then it is whiter still. To be sure and have it keep, she salts it an ounce or more to the pound. That amount suits her taste, because she lives inland where salt is never supplied to the human system except artificially. When her butter reaches some large seaboard market where the people are not so fresh, it is too salt to suit their taste, too soft for their style, and too white for the pride in their eye. The result is, the butter is sold for cooking purposes and has to compete with oleo for a sale. When the commission man and the railroad get their share there is little left for the dairyman, and no wonder. A churn cannot tie left to run itself any more than a railroad locomotive. Neither can it be left to different members of the family any more than a locomotive can be run by the conductor, brakeman, or whatever trainman happens to come along. If a dog is used to do the churnine he must be heavy enough to give it speed, and trained for the business, and never used for anything else. He will have a tired life at best. A good churn dog is the best animal on the farm, and will do the business well if you have a good power. A tread-power with tilting lever to regulate the motion is best Raising Strawberries. Vick’s Monthly. Prom the great number of strawberries now in cultivation it is impossible to say of any two or thrae, or of any half dozen or dozen, “these are the best and should have the preference over all others.” The value of many varieties depends upon the locality where they are raised —soil, climate and the particular market where they are disposed of determining, in some measure, their worth. Many of the varieties of the highest qualities, and which are most estimable for the garden where they are to pass directly to the table, have peculiarities which unfit them for profitable cultivation for shipping to distant markets. And, on the other hand, some of the most profitable varieties for large growers, who send them to a distance, are so inferior in quality that they would be refused at the table of a connoisseur, such as every amateur grower of this most delicious fruit should be. To some extent, every strawberry-grower must test varieties for himself; but the fruits now in cultivation are all so good, and the information in regard to them so full, that there is little danger of obtaining any that is really worthless. Those who watch with anxiety the advent of every new sort of strawberry that is sent out in these days, when they come almost by dozens every season, with the hope of finding one that will be near their standard of perfection, whatever that may be, are in danger of losing sight of the fact that the quality of a strawberry depends largely upon the manner in which it has been raised. The best cultivation gives the highest quality of fruit. A deep, rich soil, clean culture, an abundant supply of water during the .filling of the berry, are necessary to produce the best fruit.

IMIMMIE NEW ANNOUNCEMENT. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to maintain this undisputed excellence and to increase the value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements for the collection of the news of the day are more complete than ever, and we have added some special features which must enhance the popularity of the paper. THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana that prints regularly the full reports of the Western Associated Press, which are now more comprehensive than ever, covering the whole world. These dispatches are supplemented by the work of special correspondents at all the principal cities and towns of the State and of the county at large. We have a special resident representative at Washington City, who looks after the news of the national capital with vigilance, paying particular attention to that which mo3t nearly concerns THE JOURNAL’S constituency. The fullest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party organship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, bub in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of THE JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment and strictures as will command his respect if they do not meet his approval. It may also be said that THE JOURNAL is published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It recognizes that the women and the children are to be instructed and entertained. They wiUi always find in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will be so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in the household. The news will be presented in such shape as to minimize the evil, and its editorial and local columns will be kept free from moral taint. The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in the country. SPECIAL FEATURES. By a special arrangement with the authors the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL began with the present year the publication of a series of original, stories from the pens of the most noted writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells, J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. R Aldrich, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett and others of' equal celebrity. This series is now being printed in the Saturday edition. The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Talmage, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached the previous day—which sermon is published iu other papers of the State until the following Sunday. This is only one 1 feature showing the excellence of the Jour nal’s arrangements for the prompt publication of news. In the SUNDAY JOURNAL are printed a series of original stories written by the most celebrated authors of the world. We receive these stories direct from England, by a special arrangemont with the writers. We have already published stories by “Ouida,” William Black, Mrs. Oliphant, Joseph Hatton and Miss M. E. Braddon, and are now printing a . series of three short stories, written by the late Hugh Conway. THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Is a paper of twelve pages, sold for five cents The SUNDAY JOURNAL reaches every town and city in Indiana and the surrounding territory. The circulation ot the Sunday edition is the largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made itself the Peoplo’s Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNAL is without competitor in the State in the character and' variety of matter it presents it3 readers. The best writers in the State and country freely contribute to its columns. In its enlarged and improved form it is absolutely without a rival or peer. THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (WEEKLY EDITION) Is the best secular paper published in the State. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special features of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In these respects the WEEKLY JOURNAL is superior to any merely ural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by any special class publication. SPECIAL TERMS Are made to agents and canvassers, and for clubbing with other papers. For all details address the publishers, JNO. C.
