CAIARRH

a constitutional and not a local disease, and therefore tt cannot be cured by local applications. It requires a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the Impurity which causes and promotes the disease, and effects a permanent cure. Thousands of people testify to the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy for catarrh when other preparations had failed.

A NUMBER of LaPorte society belles have formed a "skin grafting society." Whenever some poor unfortunate is badly injured they propose to donate pieces of skin from their arms and legs to help him out. Party dress is evidently not the fashion in the maiden village of LaPorte. LaPorte people have ever been famous for their strict integrity and honor but this [,is getting somewhat ahead of the chariot progress.

So bare faced is the attempted steal of the State Senate in New York by that unscrupulous politician, David B. Hill, who is both Governor and United States Senator, that it moves even such papers as the Sun, the Herald, the Post, and Harper1u Weekly, all good Democratic papers, to denounce the burglary in unmeasured terms. The matter is before the courts now and the Judges, who are also Democrats, intimate that tho penitentiary is yawning for some of the participants in the crime.

IT is evident that Chauncey M. Depew is one of the rich men of the world with perception clear enough to see a truth as big as a mountain. At a banquet in New York city one evening last week he said:

Wo fear the force of socialism, we dread the horrors of anarchy, but they do not grow from the spouting demagogues. Both come from real conditions which men of wealth have to meet or to make worse. Every employer who creates the impression in the minds of the employes that he is a master and they are slaves, is a teacher of socialism. Any man who accumulates an enormous fortune, and uses his wealth solely for his own enjoyment, does more to propogate anarchy than all the men hung in Chicago.

—Tho best line of underwear for winter can always he found at Tannenbaum Bros. Be sure and see them before buying.

SWIFT WRIGHT,of tho class of '77, and now the editor of the Logansport Journal, speaking of the Presidency of Wabash College, and the kind of a man required for this important position, says: "Considerable interest is being manifested throughout the State on the presidency of Wabash College. Two candidates have been discussed, one Dr. Kane, of Lafayette, who. is being pushed by Prof. Smar., President of Purdue, and elder in his church, and the oth ^r Gen. Lew Wallace. Neither one of these gentlemen meet the requirements the institution. Gen. Wallace would give to it the distinction and honor of his name but not the energy and activity necossary. It is with no disrespect to those gentlemen that the Journal insists that Wabash College needs a practical educator of distinction if possible but at least of a mind to give to the college hard work controlled by practical and prudent judgment and a broad and liberal education.

IN a speech delivered by Gov. Joseph A. Wright, before the Washington county agricultural society, in 1853, is tho following sentence: "The old world manufactured for tho new for a hundred years. New England has manufactured for us Tor nearly half a century. A change must take place. Wo must, if wo pursue our

race.

DR. J. N. TALBOT has received some samples of the oro from the Temesoal mines, California. The person from whom he received the specimens says that the ore is apparently inexhaustible, and that these mines can furnish it in sufficient quantities to supply the civ ilized world. The development of these mines is one of the grand results of the Mclvinley tariff law.

THE prospectus of the Cincinnati Weekly Gazette can be found elsewhere in this issue, and it will be seen that it iB still abreast of the times in all of its r.umorous departments. It should be in every household during the coming year, when so many important events will take place. The paper will vividly uphold every meafure that will be of benefit to our country.

SECRETARY NOBLE'S ANNUAL REPORT.

Extracts from tlio Section* Relating to Government Lunds, the Indians, the Territories, the Census, I'ensious and Other Topics.

NOIILK'S RKl'ORT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The secretary of the interior has submitted his annual report to the president In a summary of its contents he gives this resume:

A Summary.

The general land oftlce is nearly abreast of its work the Indian bureau is accomplishing the rapid disintegration ui the Indiun reservations, the severance of tribal relations and the education of the Indian youth. The pension oftlce is rapidly completing the allowance of all pensions legally possible under the laws, moving at the rate of about 30,000 a month the census lias been taken and its publications rapidly going on the geological survey is selecting tho reservoirs for tho arid lands of the far west and southwest the railroad bureau is making ready for tho maturity of the debts duo from the subsidized railroads, the Union l'ucillc and others the bureau of education, besides having distributed the vast fund allowed the agricultural colleges for while and colored pupils in tho different states. is engaged in new plans for the accumulation ami distribution of information useful for the schools and their better management and the patent otllce having celebrated its centennial, is still ndvuncing in the volume ami variety of its investigations and patents.

On Homestead Settlements. The report notes: "Tho years of the present administration have been marked to a notable degree. by the expansion of the public domain for private settlements." The history is given of the opening of the new Indian purchases in Oklahoma under the proclamation of September 83, when nearly 1,000.000 acres were taken by settlers between noon and dark while 8,718 Indians were elevated to citizenship by taking allotments of 1C0 acres each. It is a signilicant fact that a shipment, by special train, of a cargo of wheat from the Oklahoma lands, llrst opened by proclamation on April 22, 1889, was received in August last at one of the Armour elevators in Chicago, and the population has already icached HJ.OJO.

Naturalizing Indians.

Over 16.000 Indians have already become citizens of the United Status, and about 4.0U0 more by taking their allotments have signified their desire to become citizens. To these numbers should be added the 7,619 Indians In Oklahoma, who have taken or agreed to take allotments. A total of °.'7,61i) Indians naturalised, and total of acres acquired for settlement of about 18,000 0J0 during the present administration ulone.

The Indiun 1'opulutton.

The Indian population is reported as 290,000, exclusive of natives of Aiaska. The number of Indian youth enrolled and the average attendance in the schools has Increased. In 1888 the appropriation for support of Indian sohools wus $1,179,916, In 1891 ll,848.770, and for 189i it is W,291,650 The Indians, us a rule, haveconsented so readily to send their children to sohool that It wus not found necessury immediately to enioroo attendance.

Pension*.

The secretary refers to the relief afforded by the act of June 27. 1890, to thousands of dls abled veterans and their dependent relatives, who through lupse of time are not able to prove the origin of disability in the line of duty es required by prlur enactments. It Is shown thut tirst puyments have greatly decreased in amounts, that the allowance of original pensions will soor. all be made, that there will then be a great decline in the sum necessary to pay pensions, and the lists will rapidly decline from death und otlrer causes. There was •„'!:!,.V.M Urst payments made during tho iiscal year, requiring Kit),538,214.31, being less in amount by i69,5U'.' than the 130,514 first payments of the previous year required. The average value of tirst payments In the Iiscal year of 1S9J was 8485.71, while the average value in isui of Urst payments in all claims was SMU.aS, and first payments of clam under the act of June 27, 181)0, was only (71.28. The present issue of certificates is about 30.000 per month, and it is thought that the pension bureau will be able to carefully adjudicate 350.01/0 claims during the present year. The work at this rate will allow all lawful pension claims within the next thirty months, and of course all first payments will then have been disposed of. This alone will cause a drop of $30,000,OoO in the appropriation, and the list will theuce on constantly diminish by natural causes. It is predicted that the pensions will when the highest point is reached not excccd vers* greatly the present sum, and be subject to a great decrease immediately after.

The estiinut fcr 1893 is tl44.ur6,oo0. The Census. The secreta'.y expresses the belief that the eleventh census wnl stand os mucu fuir and honest criticism as any work of the same magnitude heretofore done either at home or abroad. The announcement of the population, November 20,, 1890, us G-.'j'.'J.J.'i), has not beon changed, and upon thai announcement the apportionment law was passed nearly two years sooner that at prior census periods. It is, estimated thut to complete the work will require a further appropriation of about sl,000,00j.

The Patent Ofilee.

Tne work of the patent olllce shows a slight falling oil us compared with the previous fiscal year. The number of applications received was 43,016 as against 43,810 in LS'.K). A surplus of receipts over expenditures amounting to Hd7.291.09 was turned into the treasury to the credit of the patent fund.

Debts of ituilwu.vs.

The secretary gives au abstract of the earnings of the several aided railroad companies, showing also the amounts due from them to the government December 31, ltfwj. It appears therefrom that the total debt, principal and interest, to the United Status of each company was us follows: Union,Pacific 951,761,208 17 Central Pacific 53.682,612 29 Sioux City & Pacific 3.054.621 90 Centrul Branch Union Pacific 3,414,170 70

Total (112,512,613 06 Tli« Territories. In considering the territories the report says there has been an increase of 10,000 in the population of Arizona, making It about 70,000. In New Mexico it is claimed thore ure 153,074 per&ons, und the governor appeals for uk enabling act to become a state. In Utah the population Is estimated by the governor to be 215,000. The total assessed value of property, real and personal in 1891, was 1121,146 648.37, an increase over the year before of 816.337,808. 37, or 10.55 per ceni. The secretary concurs in the recommendation of the government of Alaska that revision of the lavs bs made. The population of the territory Is 30.00J.

Holiday ltates.

In accordance with a time honored custom, the Big Four route will sell excursion tickets account Christmas holidays at ono and one-third fare for the round trip. Tickets will be sold December 24th, 25th and 31st, 1891, and January 1st, 1892, good returning until January 4th, 1892, affording everyono an excellent opportunity to enjoy a merry ChristmaB and a happy New Year.

FADS OF THE HOUR.

SOMTC of the French fashion plates are Introducing- distinct, if very slight, panniers.

I'ATKST leather shoes are no longer used b.y fashionable English women for evening dress, a preference beingshown for black satin.

Tmc .Japanese white and gold and Chinese blue and red room fads are fading before Egyptian apartments, which are gruesome places full of dark things, serpents, sphinxes and griffins' claws.

NKW spoons for olives retain the form of the teaspoon, but they have perforated bowls. Some of the new large spoons have bowls of silver in the shape of rose leaves. The latest craze is for Russian enamel.

AN English notion of the moment is to tie a six-inch sash ribbon just below the waist, crossing it at the back and bringing it around to the front just below the bust, to finally tie behind in a flat bow between the shoulders and reach in long ends to the hem of the dress.

FRKNCH hostesses of country house parties have made an innovation in providing skilled coiffeurs for their guests. The hairdresser comes every morning from Paris, makes the round of the chateau, and departs in the early afternoon, leaving an array of poems in coiffeurs behind him—no two alike.

Tho laws of health are taught in the schools: but not in a way to bo of much practical benefit and are never illustrated by living examples, which in many cases might easily be done. If some scholar, who had just contracted a cold, was brought before the school, so that all could hear the dry, loud cough and know its significance see the thin white coating on tho tonguo and later, as tho cold developed, see the profuse watery expectoration and thin watery discharge from tho nose, not one of them would ever forget what the first symptoms of a cold were. Tho scholar should then be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely, that all might see that evon a severe cold could be cured in one or two days, or at least greatly mitigated, when properly treated as soon as the first symptoms appear. This remedy is fan -JUS for its cures of coughs colds and croup. It is made especially for these diseases and is the most prompt and most reliable medicine known for the purpose. 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Co.

For pain in the stomach, colic and cholera morbus there is nothing better than Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. For sale by Nye & Co.

I had a Bevere attack of catarrh and became BO deaf I could not hear common conversation. I suffered terribly from roaring in my head. I procured a bottle of Ely's Cream Balm, and in three weeks could hear as well as I ever could, and now I can say to all who are afflicted with the worst of diseases, catarrh, take Ely's Cream Balm and be cuied. It is worth 81,000 to any man, woman or child suffering from catarrh.—A. E. Newman, Grayling, Mich.

Fall To Do Our Duty.

Everybody has at times failed to do their duty towards themselves. Hundreds of lady readers suffer from sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness and female troubles. Let them follow the example of H. Herbechter, Stevens Point, Wis., who for five years suffered greatly from nervous prostration and sleeplessness, tried physicians and different medicines without success. But one bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine caused sound sleep every night and she is feel ing like a new person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Laramie City, Wyoming, who tried all other remedies, declares that after three week's use of the Nervine for headache, nervous prostration, etc., she WBB wonderfully relieved.
