MANY A LIFE

HAS

l)ccn saved by the. prompt, use of Ayer's Pills. Travelers by hmd or sea aro liable to constipation or other derangements of tlio stomach ami bowels •which, if neglected, lead to serious and •"often fatal consequences. The laostsuro means of correcting tlieso evils is the uso of Ayer's Cathartic. Pills. The prudent sailing-master would as soon go to 'sea without his chronometer as without a supply of these Pills. Though prompt and energetic in operation, Ayer's l'ills leave no ill effects they are purely vegetable and sugar-coated the safest medicine for old and young, at home or abroad. "For eight years was afllicted with constipation, which at last became so bad that the doctors could do no moro for mo. Then I began to take Ayer's

Pills, and soon the bowels recovered their natural and regular action, so thai now 1 am in

kealth."—Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbtiry, Massachusetts. I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the most reliable general remedies of our times. They have been in use in my family for affections requiring a purgative, and have given unvarying satisfaction. We have found them an excellent remedy for colds and light fevers."— "W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas.

For several years have relied moro upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything else in the medicino chest, to regulato mv bowels and those of the ship's crew. These Pills are not severe in their actiion, but do their work thoroughly. I have used them with good effect for the cure of rheumatism, kidney troubles. and dyspepsia." ("apt. Mueller, Steamship Felicia, New York City. "1 have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills to he a better family medicine for common use than any other pills within my knowledge. They are not only very effective, but safe and pleasant to take qualities which must make thein valued by the public." Jules Hauol, Perfumer, Philadelphia, Pa.

Tdic first aiinivers'uy "f the TaniT Kefonn I.i'ii^ue uf Inii'ami wits held nt Indianapolis, licl^g.ites from every ••uuty in the stale were pm?eiit, and imicli enthusiasm \v:n shown in the proceeding* and sciuimeiit of the league. T.trili' Herorin will lake precedence this year over vli other political questions. The people of the west are at last beginning to awaken to the injustice and inequality of the present tariff law. If American citizens of the east who are engaged in manufacturing are to he helped by the government in order to enrich themselves why cannot fanners in the west engaged in agriculture he likewise treated? Should not the government servo all alike? That is the question. Are the citizens of one portion of the republic any more entitled to generous actions from the government than the other? The Tari'T Reform League only asks for even handed justice at the hands of the government—nothing mote, and a union of'action aud sentiment must bring this around. The league is uot alone a combination of deuit crats, but many republicans aro coming into the fold, among them Judge Baldwin, of Logansport, who has taken a position on the tatiff question that is right, and which many of his party friends will occupy with him. The present republican majority iu congiess is uot going to do anything toward bringing about a tariff reform. It is afraid to. Its best fiiends, eastern monopolists, will not allow it to do so. The people must take the matter in hand.,

In 1SS5, under democratic rule, the farmer paid S-M15 county tax on each $1,000 valuation of property. In 1800 under republican rule he will have to pay $7.55 tax on the same amount of propeity, an increase of $2.00 on each $1,000 valuation. Let the fanner take his tax receipt, tind the valuation of his property, calculate the value of his wheat and corn per bushel iu 1885, then figure wheat and corn at 70 aud 20 cents, the price he uow gets—and see how many additional bushels of each he will have to raise to pay the increased tax on his property this year. He will find that it cuts both ways. In 1SS5 the price of wheat aud cord was much higher than uow, while his tax was lower. Now the taxes are higher and the price of what he has to sell is down to "bed rock prices"—below the cost of production iu some cases. These ate facta, uot assertions, for the fanners of Ihis country—irrespective of party, to ponder on.

civil service commission, which never was popular, is becoming moro distasteful every year. The members of the commission are charged uow with violating the very laws which they 'ire expected to enforce. Specific charges have :".en filed agaiust them. They have permitted favorites and iucomptetits to remain in office, and in other ways have, as stated, violated their trust. The object of the Commission in a nut shell is to say who is fit to retain office, aud how it shall be conducted. It is a political machine which can be used rery oppressively iu the hands of partisans or prejudiced men. We cannot see where government officials aro any better, more honest or competent now than they were twenty years ago before such a thing as the civil service commission was known, and it abolished altogether things would move along just as smoothly.* ..

A HINT TO MOTHERS.— SOUTH AMERICAN NERVINE procuros healthy and refreshing sleep to crying infants, and will quickly restore to health delicate and scrofulous children. It ie alvraya safe.

Crawfordsville Presbytery at its session in Lafayette concluded that it desired a revision of its creed relating to the damnation of infants and heathens. It is somewhat remarkable that the wise men and divines of the Presbyterian denomination did not discover the need of this revision fifty or more years ago, yet only within the past few years do they seem to have awakened to the sense of the unchristain aud uncharitable belief maintained heretofore by that denomination regarding the future fate of infants. Advance thought has brought this about, and it may he that many other religious denominations will revise their doctrine of faith ere long.

want another "fool legislature" just such as the last general assembly was composed of: a legislature that will pass as good laws as that of the school book and election may be considered "Tools" by knaves, scoundrels and pillagers generally, but honest people will not view it as such. We trust the next assembly may be composed of just that kind of "fools," as the Stale needs thein for Reveral sessions to come. Candidates for the legislature this year should be sure to have these fool" qualifications—men who will economize in the interest of the people, and be prompt to act when action is necessary.

CHKADLK, the republican congressman from the Hth district, seems to have peculiar tastes in applauding such a man as "Hlocks-of-five" Dudley, by saying he is an honest and honorable man. No man concocting and aiming to carry out Btich a scheme as was proposed in his letter in the campaign of '8S, can have a particle of honesty in his composition whatever may be his politics. There are better men behind the bars of the penitentiary, and it is very questionable if there are many republican statesmen who will agree with Cheadle in his eslimate of Dudley.

THE

democracy of Rhode Island have nominated a full state ticket, and will as usual make a strong fight, although the odds are against them, owing to the outrageous law passed by the republican legislature. In this state nearly 15,000 democrats are deprived of the ballot on account of a property qualification enacted by republicans. While the publican members of congress are shedding tears over the colored men in the South, they should not forget the disfranchised whites in northern states.

to President Harrison there is

greater man of Indianapolis now than a man named Hrueh, manager of a second rate base ball club. Hie movements, actions and thoughts are chronicled regularly by all the daily papers of that city, and his star of greatr ness seems to have completely obscurred that of Sim Coy's, who is rarely spoken of any more, while Brush, would in time seem to be a greater man than even Harrison, and all on account of base ball.

A PI0NEEE SKETCH.

A copy of the Bath (N. Y.) Plaindealer was received at this office a few days since In which is an interesting sketch of this couutry as seen by the writer—Chester Loomis, of Ruslmlle, New York, in 1825—65 years ago. If Mr. Loomis, although uow an aged man, were to visit the reglbn through here at present, he would no doubt, be amazed at the changes between the olden time and to-day. He would find just as well cultivated farms, just as fine homes, and just as intelligent people as those in his own state. Indians, wild game, swampy couutry have disappeared. The "Shorntown" he meutions, is undoubtedly the village of Thorntown:

"We continued to press forward through mud and mire, without a dry thread of clothes upon us, for the remainder of the day near the close of which we reached Shorntown, an Indian settlement, twenty miles from Crawfordsville. As it was impossible to reach any habitations of civilized men, we were compelled to submit to such accommodations as could be obtained from these miserable savages. After going from hut to hut, endeavoring to obtain shelter aud refreshment among them, without being able to comprehend our wants, or, if they did understand, without their regarding them for some time, we, at length, found a Frenchman, half savage, half civilized, who was dressed in the Indian costume, aud lived amoug theui—to whom we addressed ourselves. He replied to us at first in a language, not one word of which was understood, at the same time using significant gestures, aud pointing to different and opposite points of the compass at the same time. Crowds of Indiaus, of all sex and ages gathered around. The scene was certainly a fine one for the pencil of a Hogarth, to portray. The unintelligible jargon, the strange and unaccountable gesticulations of the Indians, the merriment and laughter created among them to our embarassmeiit tended to produce vex' ation and disgust in ur miuds. We cursed them heartily as au inhospitable race, and was about to leave their lodge to seek a shelter again In the wilderness, when the Frenc' man before alluded, rose and beckoned us to follow him. We uow found he could speak broken English. He conducted us to a wigwam, SO or a 103 rods distaut from the main village, built a lire, fed our horses, and prepared supper for ourselves. Our supper was cooked iu Indian style, but huuger aud fatigue gave an appetite which was by no means^ scrupulous.

We were permitted to lodge upon the floor In front of the lire. Several Indians lodged iu the same wigwam, but they behaved civilly. In the morning we attempted to partake of a breakfast prepared, but the offensive quality of their vituals, together with the cookery, preveuted more than tasting. These Indiaus are of the Miami tribe. They are said to be extremely dissipated. Scarce a month passes in which they do uot have a general drunken powow. On such occasions murders are very common. A few months since, while the men aud women of this lodge were iu a state of general intoxication, an Indian of the tribe who had drank sufficiently to render him mischievous, with his knife cut of the uoses of seventeen of their principal warriors. We he'e uoticed several of the number thus singularly mutilated. The appearance of the Indians of this tribe is not inviting. They appear to be, almost without exception, au ill-favored, nasty, greasy race—idle, dissolute, aud intemperate. Their situation is upon a prairie of several thousand acres. The laud is rich and beautiful, and they have a few enclosed fields of corn. Large numbers of their horses feed iu droves upon the prairie. I believe they do not raise cattle, or, indeed, any kind of slock except horses. The Indiaus of this tribe are in the habit of selling their young women, like the Creole mothers of New Orleans. The price for one of theui, when a permanent connection is intended, is a horse, no difference of terms ever being made on account of personal beauty.

June 24, we reached the habitationsof white inhabitants, after traveling most of the day through au open prarie couutry, and directing our course nor

rly

west from Shorntown. We

no longer find highways or roads distinctly marked and opened. The only roads are the ancient paths or traces of the Indians. These are In many places so indistinct and obscure, that we find it difficult to pursue them. Wild game is plentiful iu this country. We, this day, saw an elk and several deer, besides immence numbers of wild turkeys and prairie hens.

In this section of country few inhabitants are found, and those few are generally "squatters," who locate themselves upon tho borders of the prairies—live in miserable cabins, frequently without floors or windows, aud exhibiting the most conclusive evidence of the inhabitant's indolence and negligence, whose personal appearance is but little better than that of the savage tribes, who aro their neighbors. We have lodged one or two nights among these people, aud find ourselves exceedingly annoyed with myriads of Ueas, bedbugs, etc.

June 25, 1825, we last night put up at the cabin of a smithern emigraut. Our supper consisted of—a plate of fried smoked pork, a cup of sour curdled milk, several small Indian cakes, something like a tea cup in size and form, which are here called "dodgers," and a plate of honey. The table furniture consisted of a Spanish dirk, for a knife, a fork, one or two tin pint cups. I find that this Is the usual fare for breakfast, dinner and supper, with few exceptions, throughout this section of the country.

Scott Township Convention.

The democrats of Scott township met in convention at Ceuter School house on Saturday last for the purpose of nominating a township ticket and to select delegates to tho conuty and joint legislative conventions.

Temperance Win* For Invalids. It is well known that there are cases when the mos strict advocates of temperance are obliged to use some sort of wine, especially those who are old a id infirm. Many weakly females as well as invalids and debilitated persons in warm weather need a little strengthening wine. The great difficulty has been in procuring a rich wine that is reliable. There are many cases where wiue would be used to to a great advantage in place of alcahelic drinks, if only a genuine article could be had, and upon which physicians could rely as being strictly pure. The Wine of Alfred speer, of Passic, New Jersey, and his uufermented grape juice has been analyzed by chemists iu nearly every state, and has always been proved strictly pure and beneficial. These wines are now being used in hospitals and by families for medical purposes, also by churches for communion service. It is principally sold by druggists. Mr. Spoor's mode of perserviug is such as to retain the rich flavor and sweetness of the fruit.—Transcript.
