County the Review flan Sees Busi­

ness Booming in Wallace.

We have just reached ihe Fountain county turn for a show to the world and have selected Wallace a9 our start. Scarcely a citizen of Indiana lives but knows of tnis hittorieal section located among the picturesque hills of old Fountain, under its original nnd long standing name oi Jacksonville. Groat wrong has been credited this prosperous com" iniinity in days past by stories current regarding the villiagers. We have personally met eontradictorv proof sufficient to allay any bad reputation it may have achieved through lawless visitors of our own county, in fact. Wallace is .and has been one of the most thrifty inland towns in Indiana and ie located on main cross roads nine miles distant 'from the nearest railway. It is blessed with Jive people, good churches and highly creditable schools.

Wallace is a villege of 100. Its school population is about 20. The school enrolls 139. j.'he dailv attendance up to Thanksgiving was 127. Three years ago the Wallace school was a district school of fifty. John W. Shular is one of the most enthusiastic township trustees to be found anywhere.

D.W.Sanders has been principal of the school since its beginning. Three \eais of hi&jh school work are given in 'he course.

Grimes brothers A. 13. aud y, (j Grimes, the general h&KVtyure merchants have conducted this business in Wallace for one year. The firm for eleven months previous was Garland & Grimes, and is the first and only hardware store in the town. They carry a large stock of hardware, stoves, pumps, ammunition, etc.

W. W. Vice came here seven years ago and has followed fanning to a successful end. Mr. Vice is well known in Crawfordsville where he resided for six years, lie has been marshal and constable here for two years, and has proven himself a worthy official.

James Morgan, a resident and miner of Kingman, Ind., gave us the following facts while in Wallace. Mr. Morgan has been a coal miner for forly years, and for the past four years he has operated a vein south-east of Kingmen. Mr. Morgan leases the land and employs hiB aids to work tlie mines He is a competent miner ana has made many friends by his houest business methods.

D. W. Dove came here from' Attica three years ago to oversee his saw mill business, which he bought of Moore & lianta in 1893. His mill is located one and one-half miles west of Wallace on Mill Creek, in the heart of good oak and poplar timber. ',

J. II. Bowman Was born' in Jackson township, Fountain county, 39 years ago. Two years ago he moved to Wallace and started a poultry wagon. Last June Mr. Bowman was oompelled to quit the road on account of failing health, and started a lunch stand at which place he yet buys poultry for Zook !3ros., of Waycetown. .John R. Osburn has resided here for twenty-two years, during which time he has done blaeksmithing and general repair work. His is the oldest shop here now and that it is a favorite with the larmers can be plaiuly seen by its daily activity. Fxpert horse shoeing, wagon and carriage repairing and all kinds ot iron work are feafuree of the shop.

W. E. Hamm moved here from Parke county one year ago and started a harness repair shop and barber shop, in which business he has been very successful. As a barber Mr. Hamm has had teveral years' experience and is an acknowled expert at harnets work.

Elliott J. Bowman wes born in Jackson township in 187G, He followed farming until last September when be came into possession of his father's blacksmith shop. With him is his uncle, Dennis Bowman, who has been a blacksmith for more than 20 years, and has worked in shops when they made their own horse shoe nails.

R. M. Bashara was born and raised hero. For .11 years he conducted a hotel where Wm. Spinning now runs one. For six years Mr. Bosham has owned and managed a drug and grocery store, taking his son into partnership with him two years ago. 1 erhaps no business in south-east Fountain county is better known than the general store of Roberts, Fine & Co Five years ago last August Messrs. A. C. and L. W. Roberts and J. E, Fine associated themselves together for this business, and they have since held an enviable patronage from fat and near. Their commodious 6tore room is well stocked with groceries, dry goods, boots and shoes, notions, hardware, a eomin short everything that would meet a daily demand.

Gate keepers were warned not to repair gates nor to collect more toll under penalty of being burned out. The gates destroyed represented 1,600 miles of turnpike, valued at f4,000,000. Public sentiment largely sustained the raiders. The cost of six-tenths of the toll-roads in their construction was borne by the state or by the county through which the road runs.

A SHIPS STEWARD.

GREAT MAN, INDEED, IN HIS OWN ESTIMATION.

Relation* with PaRHeugorg—IIIh l.lttle Cubby Where Kverytlilng I» »at and 8oour«.'«l In Orderly^ArrunKonieut—The

Pet of the Ladies.

IIE steward is a very great man, in the sailing world, I mean, and I fancy he maintains his prestige in the circles he frequents ashore. On a sailing vessel his position is unique and important and his self-esteem and car­

riage must be measured accordingly, though oiten his stature but little exceeds five feet, says a writer in the New York Post. Technically, he may have a few superiors aboard, but~his innermost consciousness recognizes none save the captain. Fgr him his veneration is absolute. He lords it over the sailors, and as for the cook— give him your pity, for the steward will I show him little .especially If he is black and his superior lord of the galley but half so,

'iile steward's day 011 a big merchantman begins about 4 o'clock in the morning. Cook already is stirring and serving coffee to the changing watches. What a gloomy picture it forms. 1 bleak morning somewhere down in the southern ocean after a hard night of gales the ugly, iron-coloredj heaving sea outside b],f4-rod against uglier ironcolored cTouos—the forlornest waste that human eye fcan look upon—and the lonely drippinr figures about the Wet decks showing drawn faces white in the dirty gray light. The coming dawn is only beginning to struggle out of the awful night, and the day promises so little worth the effort.. No wonder that the glistening yellow coats group eagerly for the coffee before oilskihs are cast off and boots turned out to dry around the galley fire. Then the steward goes to the captain's room with coffee. And the work of preparing breakfast for both cabin and forecastle begins in the galley.

Soon after 7 the steward orstta on the cabin table. He brings the food from the galley in a large basket, whieh is deposited on the pantry floor an4 oh, the narrow escapes that he ha« ia crossing the main deck and dodgrag seas on bad mornings and the dUasters that have •vertokeo that basket on the days when the sea reeoginised no cerencmjr is entering even the sacred r^giwms ©f the pantry! Wh»t a fascinating little oufcby it ia when he is a good steward and everything In his domain shines! Everything Is so compact and secured in such orderly arrangement. There are lockers beneath the shelves cupboards and sheltered stowing places above and cups in rows swinging from the celling.

After breakfast the steward washes the dishes, polisnes the pantry again, sweeps the cabin, puts that and the captain's room in order and cleans and fills the lamps. This is no insignificant function on a sailing vessel. Also he is superintending dinner preparations and various other mysterious vocations forward. When eight bells strikes he coKies into the cabin and mounts a stool to wind the clock and put the hands so many minutes forward or back, according to Instructions. Directly afterward he is sighted crossing from the galley to the after house bearing a soup tureen, with often a dog or two, or perhaps cats, a pig, or a monkey forming a capering, sniffing, appreciative escort. Quick and alert he serves the dinner courses always with the badge of his office, a towel, hanging over one arm. Take that away and I do not know where he would be. Whether it is dirty or not is unimportant, but he must feel its presence.

Dinner out of the way, this man of many calls is darting forward and aft until 2, when he appears on deck, or wherever the voyagers are sitting, with tea. Then he disappears for a time, and, let us hope, gets a nap. But a hearty hot supper is on table at 5, and then follow more clearing and hustling. At sunset the inside lamps are lighted] and he climbs the eompanionway with a binnacle light under each arm. By this time it is the dog watch, and he has time for a little "chumming" with the second mate, or if his dignity permits to join, or at least to watch, the singing, dancing and frolic going on among the men forward, though bread for morning is yet to be mixed. At 8 his labors end and he retiree early, always prepared, however, for an Instantaneous turning out at any alarm.

Nevertheless, I have often thought that the steward's is the most enviable position on the ship. There are no long, lonely hours for him. His days must fiy by, and meantime a goodly sum is piling up to his account. He enjoys the sort of importance that appeals to natures like his much power In lesser directions, and little responsibility while the comfort of even his superiors depends largely on his good will. Moreover his position admits of the various oompanionships on shipboard. I believe that his is the only one that touches at some point every other life in the ship. If he is intelligent, he may act in a certain sense as clerk, aB well as serving-man, to the captain, and may manage that interesting Saturday feature of ship life known as "slops," the sailor's shopping time. If there are ladles aboard, he Is the only man besides the mates who holds converse with them, and sometimes he is very bright and companionable. He knows all the events and gossip forward, which is the only place where any form of society exists on a merchant ship, and, if he will, he can retail many a Mt of local color when other Interests are scarce.

A croup cure

is what many a mother is looking for something absolutely safe and reliable, that will disarm her terror of that dread rattling, strangling cough, so fearful to the' mother, so fatal to the child. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is a croup cure that can be relied on. Thousands say so.

MRS. W. J. DICKSON

("Stanford Evelelh")

writes from Truro, N. S.:— "That terror of mothers, the startling, croupy cough, never alarmed me so long ag I had a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house."

We have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in our family for years. Once when our boy had a severe attack of croup, we thought that he would die. But wo broke up the attack by using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral."

the New York

J?- Sun: Along the waFm and honeycombed limestone biufte that line the

Zumbvo river in this tend of wheat and creameries are the homes of vast num&eps of snaUes. In the early (fays of set»fei*teiat of tho

northwest there were myriads of all the sorts of deadly snakes known to North America to be found in this neighborhood. Today there are mora snakes caught for circus companies and other buyers here than anywhere else In the country except in some of the lower counties of Florida. All along the Mississippi and tributary streams where snakes are to be found they ar® caught for the Rochester farm and sold to O. W. Estes, a young man, who runs the snake farm and for several years has been making a success of the ven-

ture. Mr. Estes also carries on a snake hatchery, something after the manner of a hennery, but considerably more exciting. The eggs produced by his stock are gathered and laid in the sun on .the sand, where in time they hatch out youngsters fully as lively and venomous as their parents. So far this year several hundred have been hatched, and all have thrived on the treatment given them by Mr. Estes and his assistants. Many of these young snakes are reared for sale, and others are used for food for the king snake and others that eat only their own kind. So far this year about 600 snakes of the more valuable varieties have been shipped from this farm. Not only are circuses and menageries customers of Mr. Estes, but in many cigar stores and saloons the- reptiles are displayed as attractions-to custom. A few days ago a rattler six feet long, eight inches in girth, and with twenty-six rattles was sent to a Minneapolis saloonkeeper for his window. Rattlers are inexpensive things to have about the house, for a healthy reptile taken in the spring will need no food for a year. The rattlers in confinement are now becoming blind preparatory to shedding their skins. The wild rattlers do not shed their skins quite so early. The food given these pets consists chleflv ot gophers, frogs, rats, squirrels, birds and rabbits being added occasionally.

A Remarkable Race.

In April, 18PC. tns Fourth Ghoorkes were s^nt from Manc^play, in Burmah, to Shillong, in Assam. As the troops marched through the country of the Ahoms the wet weather obliged them to seek shelter in what appeared to be a granary. The native priests objected to the quartering of the troops in the granary, but upon the command of the officers the doors were battered down and the troops entered. The granary proved to be an Ahom temple, and four Ahcms were within worshiping. It was the first time that specimens of this remarkable race had been seen by white men. The word "Ahom" is derived from the Sanskrit and means unequaled. These people declare that they are descended from the god, India, and refuse to hold communication with white men. They are a very low order* of human being, ape-like in stature, with abnormally long arms and perfectly developed tails. Their feet are shaped on almost the s°me lines as those of an ape, the toes being pre-" hensile. The officers brought one of the Ahom women and her children to Shillong, where a ph-.t'. .iraph waa& taken of one of the childrm.
