Tired Feeling

Is a dangerous condition due directly to depleted or impure Mood. It should not bo allowed to continue, as in its debility the system is especially liable to serious attacks of illness. It is remarkable how beneficial Hood's Sarsaparilla is in this enervating state.

Tossessing just those cle. mcnts which the system needs and readily seizes, this medicine purifies the blood, and imparts a feeling

of serene strength which is comforting and satisfying. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best remedy for that weakness which prevails at change of season, climate or life. iv "I have been convinced Mak©8

that Hood's Sarsaparilla is one of the greatest medi- the Weak cines in the world. I say ctrnnp tills for the benefit of all other tired out, run down, hard-working women.

OLD Peter Cooper was a sound business man and a true protectionist. With him it was a principle that "no goods purchased abroad are cheap that takos the place of our own labor and our own raw material."

THE taxable values of lands and improvements in Montgomery county are $32.77 per acre. In Boone county they are S31.-10 Clinton, $33.09 Fountain, 324.35 Hendricks, $32.13 Parke, $'21.18 Putnam, $2G.G8 Tippecanoe, $28.71. The above figures are fixed by the State Tax Commissioners.

THE Democratic Philadelphi Record denouncing the McKinley act for having ''robbed the Treasury" by putting sugar on tho free list, tho Boston Journil observes that tho great American public enjoys its McKinley sugar at four cents a pound as tho freetraders wil discover, if they are ever rash enough to attempt to restoro tho duty.

MUHAT IIALSTEAD in his editorial notes to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette has the following cheorful words for tho American farmer: '•About a million bushels of grain daily goes by steam to Europe. Tho railroads have an enormous business. Stocks must rise. Gold is trembling on the turn to como back to us. This great country was neverso great as now. It has wonderful good fortune. There ^is a good time coming, that is to say good times. Why, as rye is scarce in Europe, they are talking of calling on us for 400,000,000 bushels or Indian corn. And well they might, for corn is far belter for bread than rye.

sr THE month of August has passed and the assurance of h^avy crojjs is seen everywhere. There is a baro possibility that frost may injure the corn crop, but it has so far advanced that it is nearly out of danger. The totals of all the small grains will undoubtedly be larger than ever known in tho United States

All this means prosperity for tho farm er, which will be reflected by greater ctivity in general trade. The merchants speak with confidence as to the prospects for fall. business. They do not anticipate a "boom." Indeed it is

not desirable. A healthy trade they expect is much preferable.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 5, 1891.

This Date in History—Sept. 5.

LOUla XIV OP FIlANCtt.

SPEAKING of the undoubted fact that the Republicans are in a winning position in Ohio and that the majority of McKinley will probably be remarkably largo, the New York Tribune says: "The colle-cup and the tea-cup are preaching Republicanism. On every farm and in every village people pay less for their sugar, and are reminded of the fact every day. The Government has all the revenue it needs. Industries have better protection than bofore, and the voters pay about five dollars less per year for the sugar used in every family."

THE Farmers' Alliance begins to show signs of breaking up. Its members are quarreling among themselves. Furthermore the farmers will be so busy this Fall looking after their crops and will bo so ploased with the monetary returns from them that they are not likely to troublo themselves much about politics.

ROCKVIIJIJE Republican: One or two questions: Have you purchased any tinware this year? If you did, did you find it any higher than before the McKinley bill because a law? If not, then that fact alone proves Iree traders liars for they all said tinware would be higher

TIIE public can can rest assured that the work on tho lino to pipo gas to Crawfordsville will begin in two weeks. When it is entered upon it will be pushed as rapidly as circumstances will permit, so that within sixty days tho people may begin to use tho aeriform lluid.

DURING tho three months from April 1 to July 1 tho people bought 382,090,000 pounds more sugar than during the corresponding period of last year, and yet the aggregate cost was no greater, thanks to the new Republican tariff law.

BHAZIL Enterprise:—Wo see it stated that our own Brookshiro is to stump Ohio against McKinley. The Democrats of Indiana must have a spite against their brethren in Ohio.

UNDEK tho new tariff for tho past nino months there has been added to tho demand for American labor $37,000,000 and the effect of the duty on tin plato is only beginning to be felt.

PUOTECTION to American industries, reciprocity in trade and an honest dollar are tho essential points of Republicanism.

THE SUNfLOWER STATE.

The Immensity of the Fruit and Grain Crops—A Visit to ft. Eiley. LCorresp. of The Journal.]

MANHATTAN, KAN., Aug. 31, 1891— Thinking to-day of Indiana and Crawfordsville, the thought comes to me that perhaps the many readers of THE JOURNAL might like to kuow somewhat of the impressions made ujion an Athenian maiden by this great "Sunflower State." First of all tho amount of fruit grown hero seems wonderful. Surely the apples of Kansas are sufficient to supply a great part of the wants of the Union in all directions one may see the trees drooping to the ground, under the weight of their rosy-cheeked burdens, while tho golden pear seems no less abundant. Then, too, in driving over tao country, one sees field after field of stately green corn tossing its tassled heads to the waving breezes as if to say that, here indeed, might "Peace and plenty cheer the laboring swain."

This little town of Manhattan is a very pretty place. Standing on Blue Mountain, looking south tho village seems sleeping at one's foot, enwrapped in a moss of foliage. To tho left the laughing waters of "tho Blue" danco merrily along, while across the dividing ridgo one can almost imagine tho waving wheat fields of old Indiana. Far to the right on a distant hillside gleam tho tall, white monuments of the silent city of the dead, while skirting tho distant horizon far as eye can reach lie a circle of protecting liills, almost massive in their grandeur and sublimity.

Ft. Riley is but eighteen miles distant. The quarters of the soldiers are all of tho beautiful white stone, quarried so extensively here, the roofs are of tiling painted rod, making a pretty contrast with tho green of the surrounding foliage. Hero is kept with tenderest care, tho gallant war stoed of General Custer here, too, is stationed the regiment which did such brave service at Wounded Knee. Tho mess-room is wonderful in its immensity. In the basement are tho ovens. Tho attendant who kindly showed us around, inserted in their cavernous recesses a long handled shovel upon which ho drew forth, p.m after pan of golden brown steaming rolls. They only bake twentyfour hundred a day. These ho very kindly invited us to partake of, but as wo had just gotten through with a picnic dinner, much to our ciisaj^pointment we were obliged to decline his hospitable offer. In another room two men had peeled a tub of potatoes and were still going on with the good work. Thoy also were making hash, for another tub stood near by filled with chopped meat, and wo thought from the odor there might bo a few onions in tho mixture. Tho consomme pots—but words fail me —they were largo enough to take in a whole calf, and such bubbling and boiling as was going on within. There was also a largo nicklo tank, labeled "hot coffee," which groeted our olfactories with a most delicious odor. We visited the new riding hall: we inspected the barracks wo witnessed a game of

which base ball between the Almas and Fort Ilileys, but which was not half so exI citing in its intensity as are the games of Wabash vs. DePauw. As we passed tho guard house we saw one poor fellow on duty, pacing up and down in the broiling sun, his carbine sluug across his shoulder, while tho reckless miscreants within seemed to be having a good time on the vino-wreathed portico.

At Ft. Riley may be seen the monument marking the center of the United States, not including Alaska also the first State house of Kansas, in whose dismantled walls still remains the aperture torn by a cannon ball during the days of the slavery trouble.

Much more might bo said of Ft. Riley, but time and space forbid suflice it to say, we wound up a most pleasurable day by a drive home in tho dusk of the eve, and under the glimmering starlight while tho new moon hung a quivering crescent in the sky.

Manhattan is the seat of the State Agricultural College. Its buildings are commodious, tho grounds extensive and well kept, intersected by gravelled drives and dotted with shrubs and parterres of glowing flowers, the whole wearing an air of peace and prosperity. A few days 6inco we visited the artificial ice factory. Tho water is assisted in finding the freezing point by means of pipes passed through ammonia. It is frozen in cakes of 100 pounds and is lifted from its bed from beneath tho Moor by means of a pulley, which dumps it into a tepid bath in order to loosen from tho edges of the pan. It is beautifully clear and white when first taken out, transparent and smooth as glass outside, merging into a snowy white in tho center. I will only add that the CitAWFORDSviiiijB JouiiNAL has been a most welcome visitor to the homo where have spent the last five weeks.

Axtell's Assessment Worries Tliem. TEUKE HAUTE, Ind., Sept, 1.—The owners of the stallion Axtell have agreed that if the tax commissioners appraise him at any particularly high figure they will send him out of the state. The action of the state board of commissioners at Indianapolis in notifying Axtell's owners to appear and give reasons why Axtell's assessment should not be increased is not well received. The stallion was listed with forty other horses at Warren park farm at S")00 each, the aggregate of which, it is claimed, is more than the assessment of all other horses in the township. In reply to the point made by Commissioner Walker that Axtell earned .5-17,000 this year and that the &">U0 assessment is an outrage on Vigo farmers, it is said that Axtell is risky property, that he cannot be insured and that he is not likely to increase in value with years. The outlook is that Axtell is to be much discussed in connection with the new tax law. The farmers of this county made a united effort to secure a higher appraisement when the question was before the county board, and did not seem to appreciate the argument that the bringing of Axtell here was a good advertisement for the countv.

littliiiim School*.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 1.—The annual report of the superintendent of public instruction for the current year was issued Monday, showing that the school fund of the state aggregates •.0,784,170. The number of white male children between 0 and '21 years of age enumerated in the state was 385,521 white female children between the same ages, 305,013. The number of colored males enumerated was 9,722, and of colored females 9,807. While colored girls outnumber their brothers, the white males outnumber their sisters. Tho total school enumeration of the state is 770,722, which was a smaller number by 152 than the enumeration of 1S89. The public (schools of the state employed 13,278 teachers. Of this number 0,780 were men and 0.40S women, which proves that the schoolma'am is not yet in the majority. Colored teachers number 124. The average daily wages of men teachers in the county schools was 82. Oil, of women 81.80. In town schools men averaged 83 and women S2.10. In cities the average for men was 83.50 and for women 82.52. The average for the entire state was for men 82.22, for women ---J. 01.

TOO MUCH CORN TO CORNER.

Tlie Enormous Yield Tills Y»'tir l.ilcely to J'rciviit Speculation of Tins Nort. NEW YOKK, Sept. 1.—The Commercial Bulletin says: "There are said to be some signs of a disposition to get up a corner in corn at Chicago. All sorts of rumors are circulated regarding the contemplated operation, but one thing about which there can be no dispute is that it would be •unusually reckless speculation. It is true that for some time to come the new supply of corn will not be available. The quantity actually in sight after the short crop of last year is much smaller than usual, and it is quite within the bounds of possibility for a bold operator with plenty of money to hoist the market for awhile and hold it at l*is pleasure until the new supply comes forward largely. But an operation of this sort is apt to take more time than men anticipate, and meanwhile hot weather is getting the new corn ready for market at a marvelous rate. While nobody knows what quantity may be produced this year, there is no reason to doubt that the yield will be larger than any previous year, with perhaps the exception of lSS'J."
