An Editor Nearly 50 Year?

Says Hood's Sarsaparllla is a Sterling and Valuable Remedy.

Mr. E. A. yorris Fitchburg, Mass.

A man who ha* had nearly half a century of experience in newspaper life Is oer'.-utnly capable of judging between the valuable and tho worthless. Hence we highly value tho followlog statement from Mr. Erasmus A. Norna of Fitchburg. for nearly years editor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire newspapers: "C. I. Ilood & Co., I.owcll, Mass.: "Gentlemen: In IS37, after a sickness of two years, I was given up by our best physician!, who considered my case hopeless, my age, 65, being against me. But by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was able to get about ami do a little light work. It seems almost a miracle, in my case, that after using Hood's Sarsaparilla lu the fall, on the first day of January 1 engaged for the elty of Fitchburg to take the record of the births. I accomplished this with comparative ease, being out lu the

Unusually Severe Weather

\of winter, working each day. and have been able to do a fair day's work every day since. Several members of my family have taken

Hood's Sarsaparilla, and always with marked benefit. Hood's Sarsaparilla is as staple as

Hood's5?'*Cures

flour in our house, and its presence almost as indispensable. I find that nearly every medicine 'deteriorates, but Hood's keeps up the quality all these years that I have known it. It is certainly a sterling and invaluable remedy. lean -•hardly imagine what I should have done without

It." Erasmus a. Nomas, No. 7 Lincoln St. Fitchburg, Mass. Get HOOD'S. Hood's Pills are hand mj»de. and perfect In proportion and appearance. 25c. a bo*.

Goose Nibble and College Hill shake hand across the bloody chasm in congratulation over the election of Mayor Handel, l'.oth places gave gratifying majorities.

The base falsehoods circulated on Mayor Handel by a pack of cowardly curs, headed by a hypocritically religious newspaper jay, received a just rebuke at the polls.

Eph Giitlith made the strongest race of any of the. aldermanic candidates but is still of the impression that the

Aii EnthuAhiBtic Meeting.

The young men composing the Business Men's Gymnasium class of the Y. M. C. A. held an enthusiastic business meeting at the Association building last night. The class has never had any regular organization heretofore, and last night elected Charles E. Lacey as President: Cliff D. Voris as Secretary and Treasurer and Fred M. Gregg as Business Manager. These officers constitute the Executive Committee with power to transact all business for the class. A committee was appointed to draw up articles of organization and submit them to the class at its next meeting. The class also realized the necessity Tfor the Association's friends to back it up in its work and accordingly pledged §200 toward the year's budget. The subscription was reported to the Association board of directors, then in session, and was received with great satisfaction. They will begin raising the amount by giving a social in about two weeks at which the entire work, cooking and all, will be done by the men. The business men's class has been, and is. one of the most popular of the several divisions and committees of the Association, and under its better organization will no doubt be able, more than ever before, to make things "hum" along its line. There are at present about thirty members of the class.

Klocutionary Entertainment. There will be an elocutionary entertainment at the A. M. E. church Thursday evening. May 3, by the popular colored elocutionist, Mrs. G. T. Thurman, of Jackson, Mich. Mrs. Tl.urman is an elocutionist of fine powers. Her selections are lirst class. Among them are the "Creeds of the Bells" and "Wreck of liiver Mouth," which she renders with great power. She is also said to be unexcelled in the rendering of her selections in the negro and Irish dialect. She has many fine recommendations from distinguished preachers and local newspapers. The following is what the Minneapolis

Ajipcul

has

to say of her: Mrs. G. T. Thurman. the popular colored elocutionist of Jackson, Mich., gave a highly appreciated entertainment at .St. Peter's A. M. E. church, Dec. :.'S. As an elocutionist she has but few equals. She has a clear voice and is natural and graceful in her manners and gestures, and sways her audience at will.

Bishop J. M. Brow also speaks in the most commendable terms of her. All who miss hearing her will miss a grand treat. A cordial invitation is extended to all. Admission 15 cents. Proceeds for the benefit of the A. M. K. church.

A Horse oil tike Doctor.

At the last election our venerated friend, Dr. Grifiith, was a candidate but failed to vote for himself because he made a bobble in casting his ticket, stamping merely the first name on the prohibition ticket instead of the square about the device.

It looks very much as though the good doctor is still ignorant of the manner in which the great prerogative of a freeman should be exercised. Yesterday in the Doctor's precinct, No. 2 of the second ward, there was only one prohibition vote cast, and that was thrown out by mutilation. The doctor should move in.

the Republican victory is. therefore, all the more creditable. The enemy headed their ticket with probably the most popular Democrat in the county and selected its very best men for the minor offices. Then ihe ticket was worked for. A vigorous still hunt was followed yesterday by a grand hurrah and people stood" with open mouthed wonder as they beheld the Democracy hustling as they never hustled before. It was in a lost cause, however, for it was apparent by noon that the hopes and aspirations of even lSigv Hay less were blighted in the bloom. As soon as the polls had closcd an eager throng was on the streets anxious for the returns which came in slowly but with a very gratifying flavor to them when they did come. The following is a table showing the vote of the city by precincts.

second ward is flooded with a superfluity of cheerful liars. Bill Johnson stated several days ago that he would personally oversee the canvass of Goose Nibble. Goose Nibble is naturally Democratic by "i, but it gave Mr. Handel IS majority. William's canvas smacks strongly of Boomerangisui.

Great amusement was afforded the crowd at precinct number one in the second ward when Johnny Callahan challenged the vote of Charley Ilays, only to be dunned by the challenged man for a dollar which the festive Johnny had borrowed some time in the dizzy past.

Thk Jourxai.throughout the canvas endeavored to treat the Democratic candidates with courtesy and respect. They were gentlemen and deserved respectable treatment, lu no instance, however, was the Democratic candidate the better of his opponent and the slaughter was mete and good.

READY TO COMPROMISE.

The American Debenture Company Send# 11 Flag of Truce Home ly Our old Townsman, Frank .Niirkollx.

It seems that the American Debenture Company, of Chicago, who own our water works, have at last realized that the citizens of Crawfordsville are not to be trifled with. Yesterday Frank Nuckolls, who manages a plant for the company at Shelbvville, came over for the express purpose of straightening matters on a basis satisfactory to the people. lie approached Mr. Ramsey, who is interested in the newcompany, and told him of his purpose. Mr. Ramsey rather thought it was too late to do much good as the people generally had made up their minds to patronize the new company. Then Mr. Nuckolls propositi that the new company buy the old plant and thus get the contract with the city. But Mr. Ramsey was of the opinion that a new plant could be put in cheaper than the old one could be. sold for and that the city contract could be secured also as the Water Light Company has frequently failed to live up to its obligations. Some one expressed the opinion that Mr. Nuckolls' policy was to see each consumer personally and make a contract at the best possible price. Already he has seen one man whose rate was raised enormously and agreed to reduce the price S:M.

ARREST OF NEWTON StALEY.

The Fx-l'ostmaster of l.lnden ill Trouble On Charge of Kmbezzleuieiit. Newton Staley, ex-postmaster at Lin den. was arrested to-day by Grant Agnew. a deputy in the United States office, and taken to Indianapolis on a charge of embezzling government funds. It seems that some time prior to the time he retired from the postollice he turned up delinquent in his postal accounts in a sum somewhere between S-00 and S300. The postollice inspector visited Linden and made an investigation into the all'airs of the ofticc and showed him the amount of his shortage. Through the aid of friends Mr. Staley at once made it good. The charge upon which he was arrested to-day. however, was that of appropriating money order funds. It is charged that he used the money order funds to make good his shortage in the postal receipts. Mr. Staley.however. denies this part of the charge and says that the particular money order referred was sold ten days after his settlement with the inspector, and that he accepted a check which is in violation of the law but of which fact he was not cognizant at the time. Mr.

Staley has always borne the reputation of a strictly honest and straightforward man. ami it is to be hoped that a full explanation will relieve him, at least, of any criminal intent, especially as the Government has not lost a dollar. His bondsmen are Clinton Wilkins. J. II. White, O. D.Thomas, Wm. Dunkle, Tlios. Wilkins. Aaron Layton and Simpson Montgomery, lie was accompanied to Indianapolis this afternoon by Hen Crane who will act as his attornev.
