Try as they will many manufacturers cannot so disguise their cod liver oil as to make it palatable to sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion of FURE NORWEGIAN COD zYKlt combined with Uypophosphites is almost as palatable as milk. For this reason as well as for the fact of the stimulating qualities of the Hypophosphites, Physicians frequently prescribe it in cases of

Allowed Their Fees.

Thursday .Tames Wright and A. B. Anderson were allowed S2"0 by the circuit court for prosecuting the disbarment suit against G. W. Paul. The suit was never concluded as after it had been sent to Tippecanoe county Mr. Paul removed to the south and the matter was dropped.

Badge Presentation.

C. M. Travis returned from Princeton on June 13 where he accompanied the .Department Commander and his staff to present to Past Department Comander Starmont a gold badge. The gold of which the badge was made was taken from the Indiana hills and is said to be very beautiful in design. Mr. Travis reports a most enjoyable time.

Latin Prize Winners.

It will be remembered that Captain T. M. Karasawa. of the Japanese armory last year offered two prizes $25 and SI 5 to those members of the class of '92 excelling in Latin work. It was found by Professor Winsiow in making up the grades that Palmer Graham and Tasuke Hatton had tied for first place. They will accordingly receive $20 apeice.

Fire at New Ross.

On Thursday evening fire broke ut in the barn of Hinton Gott, at New Ross. It began in the Lay mow and was rapidly gaining ground when discovered. The bucket brigade however exhibited remarkable skill and perseverance and saved the barn from complete destruction. Thirteen fine racing horses were also saved. The origin of the fire is not known but incendiarism is not suspected.

Use the Stickers.

The advertising committee of the Fourth of Julv celebration have distributed among the business men a lot if red stickers to paste on letters. THE •TornSAL would urge everyone to use these stickers and use them freely but judiciously. Of course there will be no advantage in attaching them to letters that go to New York or Philadelphia, but the most good can be done within a radius of fifty or seventy-five miles.

The Oriental Degree.

There were about fifty K. of 1'. came in from Ladoga, New Market and other points on .Tune 12 to enjoy with the Crawfordsville lodge the administration of the Oriental degree to about 20 candidates. The fun was fast and furious until after midnight and those present report the loudest and most hilarious occasion in the liistorv of the order. Lunch was furnished by Johnson's resturant and it was with reluctance that the Knights finally broke away, from the festivities.

Inspecting the Line.

John McAlvev. of Indianapolis, one of the agents for the New York parties who will pipe gas here, drove through Friday from the gas field at Sheridan to this city. He considers the route a good one and is greatly struck with the Sheridan gas fields which he pronounces to be inexhaustible and are of the finest in the State. He was present yesterday at the breaking in of a large new well, and coming on to Crawfordsville returned to Sheridan next morning over a different route.

Informal Banquet.

The P. O. S. A. held an informal banquet at their east Main street hall last week and delicious refreshments were served to the order and a number of invited guests. At the conclusion of the feast felicitous remarks were made bv .T. D. Tracy, llev. I!. S. Inglis, C. O. Carlson. Lou Kramer. Hubert Wilhite and Parker Willis. Fred Wilhite also rendered a declamation. The occasion was a most pleasant and profitable one for all present. The hall was elegantlv deecrated with Hags and bunting, and after the banquet and toasts cigars were passed around and when those present departed they all were convinced that "it was good to have been there."

A Match With the Elder.

S. B. Johnson, of Peru, was in th?. city this morning calling on Ed Corey, the pugilist. Mr. Johnson is manager of Elder Pitts, the colored champion, whom Corey recently challenged for a finish fight, and the object of his visit here was to arrange a match for a purse. Mr. Johnson made a proposition to put up a purse of 8400 for a fight in the opera house at Peru, the winner to take $300 and the loser 8100. This proposition Corey did not' accept. He wants to fight for stakes and gate receipts, but there seems to be no one willing to put up any numey on Pitts unless they can have a pull at the gate receipts. Corey will probably go to Peru to-morrow and will endeavor to make some satisfactory arrangements fir a fight. If a purse 'of 8000 is offered he wili probably accept it, but would prefer to fight for stakes anct gate receipts. If a match is made the light will take place on the 8th or 9th of July during the races at Peru, and it will probably be witnessed by thousands of people.—Michigan City News.

GRANT JOHNSON.

Death of the Brilliant Young Man by Typhoid Fever. It is not often that it becomes a duty to record a sadder death than that of Hubert Grant Johnson, which occurred at an early hour on June 13, at tl.e home of his father, east of the city. Mr. Johnson returned from Chicago 'several weeks ago quite ill and was soon down with typhoid fever. He seemed to have improved for a week past and last evening the fever had left him, but he wiw so weak that he could not rally and death closed the scene. Grant Johnson, as he was familiarly known, was born near this city in 180 ",. He attended the district schools where he was a promising scholar and in 1882 he entered Wabash College. The following fall he entered DePauw where he graduated in 1888. Mr. Johnson was one of the most distinguishing students ever going through the institution, being noted for his extraordinary oratorical ability. Ho won many honors while in college and in 1888 took the prize at the State Oratorical contest. In the same spring he won the Inter-State contest by the highest grade ever given the winner of that honor. His oration "The Principles of Political Parties" is a model of concise thought and expression. After graduating he stumped the State for Harrison in the campaign of '88 and after the election went to Chicago, where he was a member of the City Press Association. In the fall of'8!) he entered the Senior class in the Chicago Law College and graduated the following .June, winning the first prize for the best essay. Since last June he has been with the law firm of Sheldon A- Sheldon, holding the responsible position of managing clerk.

A most promising young life has been blotted out in its bright promising beginning. The funeral services occurred Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Methodist Episcopal church in this city, Key. G. W. Switzer officiating. Interment at Oak Hiil cemetery.

FUiTHEK PA.KTl(.TLA.KS

CONCERNING TEE SUICIDE OF REV. J.W.HARRIS.

Mental Derangement the Cause of the Bright Minister's Self Destruction.,

JornsAL contained a suicide of Rev. .1. W. of this citv. at New

Last Friday's full occount of tl Harris, formerly Orleans Thursday evening. His death is a shock to the whole State where he is so well known as a minister, the superintendent. of the Knightstown Home, a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Loyal Legion and a Knight Templar. Mr. Har.iis was 40 years of age and in the prime of life bul for the last few months had been sulVcring from epilepsy anil was growing worse.

There can be no doubt that, Mr. Harris was insane at the time he committed the rash deed. For many years he was subject to fits of melancholy as many of his parishioners in this "cilv will remember. His father died in the asylum and one of his sisters also died while deranged. His father before his death attempted to commit, suicide in the same manner in which Kev. J. W. Harris succeeded. Mr. Harris' trouble dates back to the death of his first wife whon he passionately loved. They had been married less linn two years when one day as Mrs. Harris and her infant child were returning homo in a buggy the horse ran off and they were thrown out. Mrs. Harris was hurled head first against a rock and instantly killed. The child was uninjured but it "lived only a few days. Mr. Harris was completely prostrated by the affair and for days walked the fioor wringing his hands but uttering never a sound. His melancholy periods then began and he would spend sometimes several days at a time in the field with the cattle, never visiting the house. He finally began to get better, however, and decided to enter the ministry. To prepare himself for this he entered Del'auw University where he graduated with honor. After leaving college he was pastor at Covington, Crawfordsville, Thorntown

Michigan City and otherpoints. It was during his pastorate here that he married Miss Madge Donahue, of Green castle, Mr. Harris was in Crawfordsville two years and will be remembered by all our citizens as a pleasant, pol ished gentleman, kindly and unassuming and withal a splendid minister Only last year he was appointed to tin superintendency of the Knightstown home and was greatly pleased with his position which was an enviable one, the salary being large and the work agreeable. He attended conference here last Fall and ali Ins friends remarked at the time that he appeared exceedingly well and happy, as indeed he was. 'About, the holidays, however, his health began to fail and' he left for the South only a few days ago to recruit. He was on tlie Board of Visitors appointed by the Conference to Del'auw University this commencement, and was only absent with regret. His death will be a great ohock to his alma mater where he was highly respected.

Mr. Harris had a most thrilling was record. He was first, lieutenant in the second Indiana Cavalry and fought in some of the most exciting and momentous battles of the war. He was captured in the battle of YarneH's Station by the rebels and cast into a Confederate prison, where he lay for several months. Finally he was loaded on a freight train with many others for transportation and from the train he escaped with a companion, and after numerous escapes and adventures finally effected a junction with Sherman's army win they served until the end of the st rn

The Indianapolis Jnunnil next morning contains the following additional particulars which goes to prove conclusively that he had jost, his mind: "Some weeks ago Mr. Harris came to Indianapolis to see Col. I. N. Walker, department commander of the G. A. R. in reference to taking the youthful band of musicians at the home to Detroit, for the national G. A. R. encampment in August The Colonel says he acted strangely and betrayed undoubted symptoms of mental derangement. After a short talk on the matter which brought him there, he asked for writing material and proceeded to write several letters, tearing up each as soon as apparently, completed. He spent three hours at this occupation, stopping occasionally to gaze in a fixed way out of the window. When he loft he Had accomplished nothing, having destroyed everything he had written. Shortly afterward Col. Walker learned of his affliction and ascribed his peculiar actions to ill health.

A strange feature of the suicide is the fact that on Feb. 11, 1877, Dr. M. M. Wishard, then sujjerintendent of the Knightstown Home, killed himself in the same manner at the St. .lames hotel, New Orleans. The act was caused by opium eating, and after making a deep incision in his neck with a penknife Dr. Wishard tried to sever the jugular vein with a pair of surgeon's scissors. He was unconscious when discovered and died half an hour afterward. It is quite possible that the suicide of Dr. Wishard, the details of which were well known to Mr. Harris, impelled him, in the disordered state of his mind, to go to New Orleans and take his own life in

the same manner. A special to the Jii'inml Troiii Knightstown. last night, says: "On Wednesday Professor Harris wrote to his wife from Natchez, Miss., that he was much better that the trip was doing him a world of good, and that he would be in New Orleans Thursday. The next news she heard was of his suicide. His body has been taken in charge by the Knights Totnplar, and an escort from that organization will accompany it to Groencastle, where it will bo interred."

FHOM OLTKKNCASTI.R.

Mrs. Harris, as soon as she learned of the horrible news, went to her homo in Groencastle. She f,hero told her friends that when they were at Michigan City he often told that he was afraid he would take his own life and begged her never to leave him. Accordingly she was with him wherever he went anil often followed him to the docks as he had a special fear of jumping off into Lake Michigan. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at College avenue church. Dr. S. U. Town and Dr. 11. A. Gobin will conduct the services.

The Boulevard Going Through. The declaratory resolution favoring the curbing of east Wabash avenue Mill pass the council this week, and the property owners will then have two weeks to talk the matter over and ascertain how it can best, be done. Citv Engineer Sharpo will submit, the following estimate this week at the Council meeting.

Greensburg curbing is of hard lime f.tone anil is the best,. 11. can be delivered at this city as follows: 4\10, 2!) cents per foot 4x14, 27 cents. Hauling ing and setting stone will not be over 10 cents per foot. Hence stone curbing will cost say 40 cents per fool, as a maximum estimate. A gutter I feet, wide is sufficient, and would cost 15 cents per loot. Sodding costs one cent, per foot in length for every foot in width when the sod must be hauled from a distance. As nearly all soil is on the ground 5 cents per foot would (rover the cost. Hence the cost of the improvement, would not exceed 00 cents per lineal foot on each side of the street. The grass plat would be 8 feet wide and the distance from curb to curb 30 feet.
