Greedy Or eat Britain.
tireat Britain is now for in advano* of Ru6sia^as far as regards extent of possessions. The recent partition of Africa has added 2j 000,000 square miles (nominally at least) to the British possessions. At the end of 1892 the British en^pire, including protectorates, spread over 12,208,506 square miles, while -Russia, the next largest country, included only 8,487, £89 square miles. It may be remarked that nearly one-fourth of the immense area of the British empire has been added within the past five years. The Salisbury government appropria'ted more land than the whole area of the United States.

Ex-Rev. Pettit's Illness.

Bridges—What has lead to recent surprising increase in membership of your church?
Brooks—Our pastor is organizing committees for the pcr«onal investigation of the city's viB»-»-Trutb.
Many conflicting reports having long been in circulation concerning the physical condition of the ex-Rev. Fred Pettit, formerly pastor of the Methodist church in Shawnee Mound, now confined in the prison north, at Michigan City, for wifo murder, a reporter of the Sunday Times was last week directed to visit tlio mentioned institution of penance and correction for the purpose of ascertaining, far as possible, all facts bearing on the subject. It was learned that about one year ago Pettit went into declining health, and at that time suffered two hemorrhages of the lungs. Within six months he was three times laid oil from labor in tho chair department—each time for a period of about ten days, when he would return to work. His bleeding at the lungs ceased at his
firBt
decline.
His health continued bad, and about three months ago he was retired from contract work and sent to the hospital. He continued to decline and became a walking shadow and was very sallow. Six weeks ago he was examined by Dr. Cole, of Michigan City, and Dr. Calvert, the prison physician, ^nd was found to be suffering from hemroidal piles. The doctors also found two cavities in the lungs. He submitted to a heroic operation under the knife, by Dr. Cole, and soon after began to improve. He is now rapidly regaining health, and the prospect is that he will soon be able to leave the hospital. But for the operation it is probable that Pettit would have died a short time.—Lafayette Sunday Times.
No Tippecanoe Fair.
The board of directors of the Tippecanoe Agricultural Association met in the council chamber this afternoon at 2 'clock, for the purpose of taking a vote on the county fair question—to be or not to bs. It had been a matter of considerable thought in the minds of the directors, and the meeting was called to discuss the advisability of holding a fair this year, all questions regarding the prospects being considered by the members before a vote was to be taken. The big fair at Chicago, and the present hard times have caused some of the directors to feel shaky concerning the success of the local fair this year. There are thirty-six directors and twenty of them were present this afternoon to vote on the mooted question, There were two sides to the question, and both were loyally supported. Some were as anxious to hold the fair as others were against the movement, and at first it looked as though the vote would be close, although the supporters of the fair never expected at any time to overcome this opposition that had come up against it. It remains for the public to say whether the action taken was a judiciouB one or not. Tha vote stood 14 for closing tho fair and 6 for keeping it open this season. It is settled, and
Tippecanoe county will have no fair this year, the first omission i/i years.—Lafayette Courier.
A Special For the Encampment. At a meeting of the McPherson Post, G. A. R, last Saturday night it was decided to attend the National Encampment at Indianapolis next September in a body. A committee was appointed consisting of C. M. Travis, Sam Johnson and J. D. Tracy, to make arrangements with the Big Four railroad company to have a special train run from Crawfordsville to Indianapolis and return on Sept. 6 and 7 for a fare of $1 for the round trip. The trains will leave here at 6 o'clock a. m., and returning leave Indianapolis at 7:20 p. m. This arrangement can be successful provided a sufficient number of persons can be secured to go. If you desire to assist in the matter and expect to attend the encampment please leavo your name with either member of the committee as early as possible. It is expected that fully 1,000 persons will attend from this county.
The Next Encampment.
The encampment of the Indiana State militia will in all probability be held at Terre Hauto. That city has made a proposition to Adjt.-Gen. Robbins, which, while it is not as good as was expected, is such thatthoadjutant-general has recomended to the govenor that the encampment be held there. The city agrees to furnish ground, wood, straw, rifle rango, horses and 8900. This is not asked as a bonus as is understood by some, but is simply a payment, by the city securing the encampment, of apart of the additional expense incurred by holding the encampment, away from Indianapolis. It is estimated that it will cost at least $2,000 more in railroad fare alone to hold it at Terre Haute than it would to have it at in Indianapolis. July '21 to 27 is the time set for the encampment.—Indianapolis. News.
A Narrow Esoape.
Monday evening Mrs. Newt Wray and MrB. Frank Prewitt attempted to drive over the Elm street crossing of the Big Four just as the east bound passenger train came pulling in. They did not see the train until thoy were fairly on the track and then in their excitement grasped the wrong line and headed tho animal directly toward the approaching train. The engineer quickly realized the situation and with a great effort brought his train to a stand still within ten feet of the ladies and their rig. It was a_ narrow escape and the affair ca^ed great excitement.
A Band of Boy Burglars.
A special from Brazil to Thursday Sentinel says: "The confession made in court this afternoon by Leonard Miller of Staunton, charged with robbing Webster & VanCleve's store a mouth ago, will lead to the breaking up of an amateur gang of burglars whoso opera tions extend over three years.
Four are already in jail, Edward Alcxader, Leonard Miller, John Williams and Noah King, ranging in age from seventeen to twenty-two years. A warrant is out for the mother of the King boys, and several others are wanted.
The gang had conspired to waylay VanCleve on bis way home from tho store last Saturday night, which was defeated by the arrest of the first one of the gang that morning, v.
They are also believed to be the parties who attempted to wreck several Vandalia passenger trains."
A Lively Fight.
Saturday evening about seven o'clock John Downs and a man named Graham got into an altercation near Truitt's corner and a fight ensued. In a few minutes a half dozen were engaged in it and blood flowed like water down the gutter. Downp and Clarence Patten were arrested but the others escaped. In the Mayor's court it was proven that Patten was not engaged in the scrap but while looking on was hit on the head with a fiying brick. He was released. There are warrants out for the otherB participants and they will be arrested.
A. Big Transoript.
Deputy Clerk Frank White has just finished a transcript for the supreme court in the Hurley Clodfelter vs. Doherty case, tried here by Judge White, who gave the plaintiffs judgment for $3,700 attorney fees. The transcript contains 120 pages of manuscript and, together with the long hand of the evidence, makes a volume about six inches thick.

Docsnl "look" as she ought
—the weak, nervous and ailing woman. As long as slio suffers from the aches, pains, and derangements peculiar to her sex, she can't expect to.
But there's only herself to blame. With Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, she's a different woman. And it's a change that can be seen as well as felt. The system is invigorated, tho blood enriched, digestion improved, melancholy and nervousness dispelled.
With the Favorite Prescription," all the proper functions are restored to healthy action. Periodical pains, weak back, bearing-down sensations, nervous prostration, all "female complaints are cured by it. It's the only medicine for woman's weaknesses and ailments that's guaranteed to do what is claimed for it. If it doesn't give satisfaction, in every case for which it's recommended, the money is returned.
Can something else offered by the dealer, though it may pay him better, be "just as good"?

NOTHING LIKE IT.
Liona on Horseback—Trained Pigs and Timers on Telocipedes, Etc. "Nothing like it has ev«r been seen in this country,"—that is the opinion of every visitor to HAQENBEGK'S ZOOLOGICAL ARENA on Midway Plaisance, World's Fair grounds. Every day, from morning till late in the evening, thousands of World'B Fair visitors crowd this wonderful show, to witness the performance of the lions on horseback, tigera on velocipedes, trained pigs, the rare monkeys and parrottB, and thousands of other wonderful curiosities. Don't fail to see the greatest of all animal shows when visiting the World's Fair grounds. A resturant with popular prices is in the building.
Architect Geo. T. Griffith's work gives excellent satisfaction. His many beautiful buildings over the com speak for him.
Mr. S. H. Conklin writes from Itt. Carmel, Conn. "Enclosed please find check for your bills of May 2d and 12th. I repeat tho gratification I expressed before as to tho convenience, the economy, and the real artistic beauty the National Lead Company's Pure White Lead Tinting Colors have proved to me in using them. It would seem as if the old way of trying to produce the desired shade of color by mixing many colors together with much labor ana guess-work must be abandoned in favor of your economical, sure and easy method. My painters wish to introduce their use in an adjoining town, and want a couple of your boqks as guideB."
