lor Interest (Joii^crs.

Judge Alfred Ellison of the circuit court, of Madison couuty, rendered one of the most far-reaching and important decisions yesterday on the building and loan question.

Foreign building and loan companies have been charging most exhorbitant rati's of interest, which in various ways amounted to about 15 per cent. This decision was on a half dozen actions against the National home of Bloomington, Illinois. The decision was to the effect that any foreign association doing businoss in this state could not recover over 6 per cent, all told on the original principal from the tiuio of loan to settlement. This saved three-fourths of the interest charged up against these parties and will operate the same all over tha state. It will be appealed.

llml His .Shoes .Sliiued. There have been two young ladies in the city, this week, selling shoe polish. They work quite a scheme to sell it. They first shine one shoe and then collect 25 cents for a bottle of polish before they will shine the other one. So Harry Pearson, like other young men, always likes to wear a nice shine, and ho went against it. She next went to see 13oone Callahan, who also went against the polish, but not having any shoes to shine she commenced and shined his feet but the odor was so strong she had to ttop before the heels were shined. Leaving immediately Bhe informed the board of health who ordered his feet buried at once.

Sentenced to be Executed. The trial of Walling, as an accomplice of Scott Jackson in the murder of Pearl Bryan, was concluded at Newport, Ky., on Thursday, the jury sentencing him to be hung. Both verdicts were received with satisfaction by the people, and it would seem the most sensible thing for them to do is to get ready to depart.

A Large Attendance-A Gold Stand

ard Platform McKinley Nominated

For President, and Hobert, of New

The National republican convention assembled at St. Louis,Tuesday at noon with a largo htteudance. The daily newspapers this week have devoted columns after columns of stud relating to the convention, much of which is useeless, gossippy, nonsensical and could well have been omittedFairbanks, of Indiana, was made tern porary chairman in accordance with the McKinley programme of months ago. The several committees necessary for the convention were appointed. A plank in the platform on the financial policy of the party, adopted gold as the party signal. Gen. Lew Wallace was a prominent ii^ure in t!i proceedings, and \va6 a tickler for the word "gold.'' There were many exciting passages between the big gunB of the party, and quarrels wore frequent,especially among the Now York delegation. Wall street seems to have constructed the platform of the party, and the fifty or sixty froe silver delegates were small potatoes in tho eonvention. McKinley was nominated as anticipated months ago, and many of the "bosses" of the party were again eat down upon, which is one redeeming feature of the proceedings. Tho convention adjourned on Friday, the last act being to nominate Hobert, of Now

A Stimuli! Advertiser. This is the way an Indianapolis druggist advertises a brand of pills he is offering:

Gen. Lew Wallace, taking such a decided stand for gold, makes him a strong candidate for president, and McKinley having voted for tho Bland silver bill, makes him an unsafe man for the head of the republican party besides McKinley does not want to lead his pa"ty he asks them to lead him, wants them to tell him what he should do, and says he will be for the platform, regardless of what it is. It plainly BITJWB that he feare the responsibility that all great leaders must take. If the Indiana delegates vote solidly for Gen. Lew Wallace he will surely be nominated, as be has the executive ability and experience to be a great leader, and he is bold and fearless in his convictions, besides right on the money question. VVm. Reynolds, tho well-known wall paper dealer, of 207 Massachusetts avenue, said that ho had sick headache and indigestion for years, often being contined to his bed, until last winter, when he used Haag's Liver Pills, and was entirely cured by their use

"Ihere an somo republicans who do--Uro that for a man (Gun. Wa.lace) who bobs up only presidential years, and who has contributed neither a speech nor a dollar to tbo republican party iu ten years, Wallace has no nerve with hnn. He is acting moro like Tom Piatt than as a friend of tho Canton statesman, and may yet be called down."

By the way did anybody around hero ever hear of Wallace, making any donaion to the republican campaign fund at any time? At tho same time ho has held two or three fat oflics under republican administrations.
