Knlered at the Postofliee at Crawfordavllle, Indiana as second-class matter.

SATURDAY, JTr.Y 2S, 1S94.

THE reports from Washington are that Senator Voorhees and several Indiana members of the House are sick. If a Democrat would not sicken just now at the situation, would anything* short of a double dose of epicac turn his stomach?

TIIR

calls the

Star's

port of the Covington convention a "miserahle screed." a "base misrepresentation." and a "wretched report." Behold how good and how pleasant it is for the Cuckoo and Swallowtail to dwell together in unity.

THK Louisiana Senators threaten the defeat of all so-called "tariff reform." unless the sugar of their constituents is "protected." Go on, brethren, with your "tariff reform." You will have a bubbling mess worse than the witches in Macbeth had. before you are done with the job.

THK sum and substance of Democratic tariff reform has dwindled down to a tariff tax of 45 per cent, on sugar, under which the poorest family in the country is compelled to pay just as much tax to support the National government as the millionaire with a family of equal number. It is true, wool is put on the free list, but the majority of Democratic papers claim that this will make wool higher, and therefore increase the price of "raw material."

IT will be remembered that when the Mills bill was passed by the House and sent to the Senate, the latter body, adopted a substitute for it differing from it in every essential particular. In the conference that followed, agreement was impossible, and so there was no legislation upon the subject. But in that case, one party controlled the House and the other the Senate, where-

a in the present instance the Democidts lia\e a majority in both branches

MK. URooKsiniiK, in his letter Covington convention, says: And moreover, when we have lifted over §30,000,000 of burdensome taxation from the shoulders of the common people and placed it on the incomes of wealthy individuals and corporations, we certainly will have taken a most important step indeed.

When we have passed a tariff bill at this session, which reduces the tariff taxes on the common necessaries of life used by the masses of our people and the poor, to a point which leaves little or no taxes upon the common necessaries of life, we will certainly have done an important work.

Yes. "when we have passed a tariff bill which reduces the tariff tax on the common necessaries of life." liut ."when" will that be? Will it be "when" a tariff tax of 40 to 00 per cent is put on sugar which is now free'.'

Mr. Cleveland in his late letter to Chairman Wilson, says: You know how much I deprecated the incorporation in the proposed bill of the income tax feature.

Now is lirookshire or the President the true representative of Democracy on this subject? lirookshire favors and Mr. Cleveland "deprecates the incorporation of the income tax" in the tariff bill. Which is the true apostle "of Democratic doctrines'.'

Armitage tnanKen mm ior nis eourtesy, explained that he had left the colonel only a short time before and that he wiis then expecting no visitor, and if one had eomo it was perhaps necessary that he should be hunted up and brought to the hotel then he left the porch and walked hurriedly through the park toward its northernmost limit. There to his left stcxid the broad roadway along which, nestling under shelter of the! bluff, was ranged the line of cottager, some two storied, with balconies and verandas, pthers low, single storied atfairs, with a broad hallway in the middie of each and rooms on both north and south sides. Farthermost north on the row, almost hidden in the trees and nearest the ravine, stood Aunt Grace's cottage, where were domiciled the colonel's household. It was in the big bay windowed north room that he and the colonel had had their long conference earlier in the evening. The south room. nearly opposite, was used as their parlor and sitting room. Aunt Grace and Miss Renwick slept in the little front rooms north and sopth of the hallway, and the lights in their rooms were extinguished so, too, was that in the parlor. .'-11 was darkness on the south and east. All was silence and poaoe as Armitage approached, but just at ho reached the shadow of the stunted oak tree growing in front of the house his ears were startled by an agonized cry, a woman's half stifled shriek. He bounded np the steps, seized the knob of the door and threw his weight against it. It was firmly bolted within.

Lond he thundered on the panels. 'Tis I—Armitage!" he called. He heard the quick patter of little feet, the bolt was slid, ami 1 rushed in, almost stumbling against-^ trembling, terror stricken, yet welcoming white robed form—Alice Heiiwick, barefooted Vith her glorious wealth of i»alr immffijpg in dark luxuriance all dpw® QVQS tho dainty nightdress—Alice Renwlokf^ith pallid face and wild, imploring eyes. "What is wrong!*" he asked in haste. "It's mother her room—and it's locked and she won't answer," was the

A si'KCiAi. to the Indianapolis of last evening says: AH idea that the final outcome will ,,'be other than the Senate bill, praetically, has been abandoned. It is thought that the duty on sugar will be -lixed by conferees at 4:' per cent. ad valorem. The sugar people will accept this it is said, on go«l au- S

thority. They figure it out that the duty mentioned is about equivalent to the 40 per cent, with the one-eighth

differential. Everything points to an early agreement and consequently an early adjournment. Some disturbing factors ma3' crop up here and there, •but they will be quieted,

So the final outcome of "tariff reform'' is to be a tax of 45 per cent, on sugar, which is now free. Truly this is "sweetness long drawn out." Mr. Cleveland says Lhere must be a tariff tax on sugar, and so must it be. The "free breakfast table" is to be heard of no more in Democratic platfarins and stump speeches.

"You have observed," says Hrookshire, "the Democratic party, through its representatives in Congress, during the past year waging the most terrific and difficult fight against monopolistic greed and organized wealth ever witnessed in the world." Vory doubtless refers to the sugar trust, but then Grover Cleveland in his letter to Congressman Wilson says: "I suggest that we ought not to be driven away from the Democratic principle and policy which leads to the taxation of sugar l»y the fear, quite likely cxayyemtul, that in carrying out this principle and policy we may indirectly and inordinately encourage a combination of sugar refining interests." According to Grover. the distinguished Congressman from the Eighth district has "quite likely exaggerated" the overshadowing vastness of the bloody buttle in tvliich Ue has been engaged. This is a «5delieate subject," to quote Grover again- for cuckoos to tackle. I

The next instant Alice was bending over her senseless mother, and the captain was giving a hand in much bewilderment to the panting colonel, who was striving to clamber in at the window. The ministrations of Aunt Grace and Alice were speedily sufficient to restore Mrs. Maynard. A teaspoonful of brandy administered by the colonel's trembling hand helped matters materially. Then he turned to Armitage. "Come outside,'' he said.

Once again in the moonlight the two men faced each other. "Annitage, can you get a horse?" "Certainly. What then?" to the f: ^='Go to the station, get men, if possible, and head this fellow off. He was here again tonight, and it was not Alice he called, but my—but Mrs. Maynard.

A night search for a tramp in the dense thickets among the bluffs and woods of Sablon could hardly he successful. It was useless to make the attempt. He slept but little during the cool August night ami early in the morning mounted a howo and trotted over to the railway station. "Has any train gone northward since last night!-" he inquired at the office. "None that stops here, was the answer. "The lir«t.train up comes along at II :.-)U. "I want to send a dispatch to Fort Sibley and get an answer without delay. Can yon work it for me?''

The agent nodded and pushed over a package of blanks. Armitage wrote rapidly as follows: Captain I t,- r. Comma inline Fort Slb'.ey: 1- Jorrolit thi-fvr Tell him I will arrive Tilesday. Answer. F. AHMITAOE.

She heard some one at the shutters and a voice and supposed, of course, it was papa and threw open the blind." "Oil, I see! That's all, Miss Alice, I'll go back to the colonel. Good night!" And Armitage went forth with a lighter step. "One sensation knocked endwise,colonel.

CHAPTER XI.

Nature never vouchsafed to wearied man a lovelier day of rest than the still Sunday on which Frank Armitage rode slowly back from the station. The soft, mellow tone of the church bell, tolling the summons for morning service, floated out from the brown tower and was echoed back from the rocky cliff glistening in the August sunshine oil the northern bluff, (irotipsof villagers hung about the steps of the little sanctuary

riving parties from the cottages and the hotel. The big red omnibus eamo np with a load of worshipers, and farther away, down the vista of the road. Armitage could see other? on foot and in carriages, all wending theirway to church. I He wa,s in no mood to meet them. The story that he had been out pursuing a tramp during the night was pretty thoroughlv circulated by this time, lie felt assured, and every one would connect his early ride to the station, in some 1 way, with the adventure that the grooms, hostlers, cooks and kitchen maids had all been dilating upon ever since daybreak. He dreaded to meet the enrious glances of the women and the questions of the few men whom he had taken so far into his confidence as to ask about- the mysterious jieyson who came over in Hie stage with them.

He reined up his horse, and then, seeing a little pathway leading into the thick wood to his right, lie turned in thither and followed it some 00 yards among 1« ordering treasures of coreopsis and goldenrod and wild luxuriance of vine and foliage. Dismounting in the shade, he threw the reins ovei his arm and let his horse crop the juicy grasses, while lie seated himself on a little stump and fell to thinking again. He could hear the reverent voices of one or two visitors strolling about among the peaceful, .flower decked graves behind the little church and only a short stone's throw away through the shrubbery. He could hear the low solemn voluntary of the organ and presently the glad outburst of young voices in the opening hymn, but he knew that belated ones would stili U- co:.:ing to church, and he would not c.ne 1' irt.li from his covert until all were out of the way. Then, too, ho was glad of a little longer time to think. He did not want to tell the colonel the result of his morning investigations.

To begin with, the watchman, the driver and the two men whom he lntd questioned were all of an opinion as to the character of the stranger—"he was a military man. The passengers described his voice as that of a man of education and social position the driver and passengers declared his walk and carriage to be that of a soldier. He was taller, they said, than the tall, stalwart .Saxon captain, but by no means so heavily built. As to age, they could

"A tramp, looking for something to tJot tell. His beard was black and curly

—no gray hairs. His movements weri quick and elastic, but his eyes were hidden by those colored glasses, nnd his forehead by the slouch of that broad brimmed felt hat

At the station, while awaiting the answer to his dispatch, Armitage had questioned the agent as to whether any man of that description had arrived bv the night train from the north. He had seen none, he said, but there was I,arsen over at the postofliee store, who came down on that train. Perhaps he could "tell. Oddly enough, Mr. Larson recalled just such a party—tall, slim, dark, dark bearded, with blue glasses and dark hat and clothes—but hu was bound for Lakeville, the station beyond, and he remained in the car when ho (Larsen.) got off. Lai-sen remembered he-| man well, because he sat, in the rear corner of the smoker and had nothing to say to anybody, but kept reading a newspaper, and the way he came to take nejte of him was that while standing with two friends at that end of the car they happened to be right around the man. The Saturday (^ening train from the city is always crowded with people from the river towns who liavo been np to market or the matinees, and even the smoker was filled with standing men until they got some 80 miles down. Lareen wanted to light a fresh cigar and offered one to qach of Ma friends. Then

ii was louna rnev naa no matcnos, ano one of them, who had been drinking a little and fi.lt jovial, turned to the dark stranger and asked liini for a light, and the mail, without speaking, handed out a little silver matchbox. It was just then that the conductor came along, and Larsen saw his ticket It was a "round trip" to Lakeville. He was evidently going there for a visit, and therefore, said Larsen, he didn't get off at Sablon I station, which was six miles above. I

At tie- first notes she lifted up her queenly head and stood, listening and appreciative. Then he saw her rounded I throat swelling like a bird's, and the rich, full tones of her voice rang out through the welcoming sunshine, and the fluttering wrens, and red breasted robins, and rival song queens, the brown winged thrushes—even the impudent shrieking jays—seemed to hush and listen. Dobbin, fairly astonished, lifted up his hollow eyed head tuid looked aniazedly at the white songstress whoso scarlet- sash and neck ribbons gleamed in such vivid contrast to the. foliage about her. A wondering little "cottontail" rabbit, shy and wild as a hawk, came darting through the bushes into the sunshiny patchwork on tho path, and then, uptilted and with quivering ears and nostrils and wide staring eyes, stood paralyzed with helpless amaze, ignoring the tall man in gray as did the singer herself. Richer, rounder, fuller grew the melody as, abandoning herself to the impulse of the sacred hour, she joined with all her girlish heart in the words of praise :uid thanksgiving— in the glad and triumphant chorus of the Te Deum. From beginning to end slio sang, now ringing and exultant, now soft and plaintive, following the solemn words of the ritual—sweet and I low and suppliant in the petition, "Wo therefore pray thee help thy servants whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood," confident and exulting in the declaration, "Thou art tho king of glory, O Christ!" and then rich with fearless I rust ami faith in the thrilling climax, "Let me never bo confounded."

But Armitage knew better. It was evident that lie had quietly slipped out on the platform of the car after the regular passengers had got out of the way and let himself off into the darkness on -the side opposite the station. Thence .he had an open, unimpeded walk of a few hundred yards until ho reached tho common, and then, when overtaken by! the hotel omnibus, he could jump aboard and ride. There was only one road, only one way over to tho hotel, and he could not miss it. There was no doubt mow that, whoever ho was, tho night visitor had come down on tho evening train from the city, and his return ticket would indicate that he meant to go back the way he came. It was half past 10! when that train arrived. It was nearly midnight when the man appeared at the I cottage window. It was after 2 when

Armitage gave up tho search and went to bed. It was possible for tho man to have walked to Lakeville, six miles south, and readied tho station there! in abundant time to take tho tip train which passed Sablon, without stopping, a little before diybreak. If ho took thist train, and if he was Jen-old, ho would: have been in the city beforo 7 and could have been at Fort Sibley before or by 8! o'clock. I lilt Chester's dispatch showed clearly that at 8:30—the hour for signing the company morning report—Mr. Jerrold was not at his post. Was he I still in the neighborhood and waiting! for the noon train? If so, could he bo I confronted on the cars and accused of his crime? He looked at his watch. It I was nearly 11, and ho must push on to! the hotel liefore that hour, report to the colonel, then hasten back to the station. lie sprang folds feet and was just about to mount when a vision of white and scarlet came suddenly into view. There, within 20 feet of him, making her dainty way through the shrubbery from the direction of tile church, .sunshine and shadow alternately flitting across her lovely face and form, Alice Kenwick r-tepped forth into the pathway, and shading her eyes with her hand' gazed' along the leafy lane toward the road, .as though expectant of another's com-: ing. Th-.'u, attracted by the beauty of he goldenrod, she bent and busied horself with gathering in the yellow sprays. I Armitage, with one foot in the stirrup, I steiod stock still, half in surprise, half. stunned by a sudden and painful thought. Could it be that she was there! ill ho[«-s of im.'eting—any one?

He retook his foot from the stirrup, and relaxing the rein still stood gazing at h"r over his hor.-e's back. That placid quadruped, whose years had been spent! these pleasant byways and were too many iowarrantan exhibition of coltish surprise, promptly lowered his head: and resumed his occupation of grass nibbling. making a little crunching noise Which Miss Kenwick might have heard, but apparently did not. She was singing very sofrly to herself: "DaNy, tell my fortune, pray.

He loves me not lie loves mi.'." Ami still Armitage stood and gazed, while she-, absorbed in her pleasant-task, still pulled and plucked at the goldenrod. In all his life no "vision of fair women" had been to linn so fair and sacred and exquisite as this. Down to the tip of her arched and slender foot, peeping from beneath the broidered hem of her snowy skirt, she stood the lady born and bred, and his eyes looked on and worshiped her worshiped, yet questioned, Why came she here? Absorbed, he released his hold on tho rein, I and Dobbin, nothing loath, reached with I his long, lean neck fejr farther herbage and stepped in among the trees. Still stood his negligent master, fascinated! in his study of the lovely, graceful girl, Again she raised her head and looked northward along the winding, shaded wood path. A few yards away were otlier great clusters of the wild flowers she loved, more sun kissed goldenrod, and, with a little murmur of delight, gather- I ing her dainty skirts in one hand, she flitted np the pathway like an uncoilscions humming bird garnering the! sweets from every blossom. A little farther on the pathway bent among the trees, and she would be hidden from his sight, but still he stood and studied her every movement, drank in the soft, cooing melody of her voice as she sang, I and then there came a sweet, solemn strain from the browu, sunlit- walls just visible through the trees, and reverent' voices and the resomuit chords of tho organ thrilled through the listening woods the glorious anthem of the church militant.

Armitago listened us one jn a trance, From the depth of her heart tho girl

had joined her glorious voice to the chorus of praise and adoration, and now that all was stilled once more her head had fallen forward on her bosom her hands, laden with goldenrod, were joined together. It Boomed as though she were lost in prayer.

And this was tho girl, this the pure, I.God worshiping, God fearing woman, I who for oue black instant ho had dared to fancy had come here expectant of a meeting with the man whoso aim had lx-cn frustrated but the night before 1 He could have thrown himself at her feet and implored her pardon. He did stop forth, and then, hat in hand, baring his proud Saxon head as his forefathers would have uncovered to their monarch, ho waited until she lifjjd up her cy03 and saw him and kneyv by tho look in

not be deceived.

Ids frank face that he had stood by, a mute listener to her unstudied devotions. A lovely flush rose to her very templos, and her eyes drooped their pallid lids until tho long lashes swept the crimson of her cheeks. "Have you been here, captain? I never saw you," was her fluttering question.

I-

Armllriae listened tin oue In a trance. "I rode in lieruon my way back from the station, not caring to meet all the good people going to church. I felt like an outcast.'' "I, too, am a recreant today. It is tho first time 1 have missed service in a long while. Mamma felt too unstrung to come, and I had given up the idea, but both she. juid Aunt Grace urged ute. I was too late for tho omnibus and walked up, and then I would not go in because service was begun, and I wanted to lie home again before noon. I cannot bear to bo late at church or to leave it until everything is over, but I can't be away from mother so long today. Shall wo walk that way now?" "In a minute. I must find my horse. He is in here somewhere. Tell me how the colonel is feeling and Mrs. Maynard. "Both very nervous and worried, though I see nothing extraordinary in the adventure. Wo read of poor hungry tramps everywhere, and they rarely do harm.'' "I wonder a little at your venturing here in the wood paths after what occurred last night. "Why, Captain Armitage, no ono would harm me here, so close to tho church. Indeed I never thought of such a thing until you mentioned it. Did you discover anything about the man?" "Nothing definite, but I must be at the station again to meet the up train and have to see tho colonel meantimo. Let me find Dubbin, or whatever they call this venerable relic I'm riding, and then I'll escort you home."

But Dobbin had strayed deeper into the wood. It was some minutes before the captain could find and catch him. The rich melody of sacred music was again thrilling through the perfumod woods, the glad sunshine was pouring its warmth and blessing over all the earth, glinting 011 bluff and brake and jialisadetl cliff, the birds were all singing their rivaling psaltery, and nature seemed pouring forth its homage to tho Creator and Preserver of all on this his holy day, when Frank Armitage once more reached the bowered lane where, fairest, sweetest sight of all, his lady stood waiting him. She turned to him as she heard the hoof beat on the turf and smiled. "Can wo wait and hear that hymn through?'' "Aye, sing }t."

The electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may bo termed, is an especially attractive department ot (cloace, as It exerts so marked an Influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force ID produced by the brain and conveyed by muans of the nerves to the various organs of tho body, tbussupplylng the lattcr.wlth tha vitality necessary to Insure their health. The pneumogastrlc nerve, as shown here, may be said to Ira the most important of the entire nerve system, as it suppllos the hoart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nervo force necessary to keep them active and healthy.

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—years of success, of progress, convinces us that this is the right way. Every department manager has his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner.

"Make flay While tbe San Shines," Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. But "hay malting" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 20 per cent, 25 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object, desired— turning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
