Why four Shoes Oraok.
"Do you know," said a cobbler to an exchange, "that there have been thousands of shoes destroyed by burning as a result of the very cold winter. Seldom a day passes that some one does not come to me with ruined shoes demanding to know why the leather cracks and anxious to get my opinion before going to the place where the shoes were purchased and giving the proprietor a raking over the coals. When I tell them the leather is burned they express their surprise and declare that if such was the case the burning must have been done while the shoes were on the feet. And that is quite possible. When a shoe is wet and the wearer sits before a fire tbe leather can be completelv.ruined by a heat that is not sufficient to make the feet over warm. The steam passes from the shoes, dries the leather, takes all the life out of it and renders it incapable of withstanding the slightest strain. 'Dead' leather may wear for some time, but it will finally crack and go to pieces in

of anything that
Foster is favorable.
Secretary of State Foster has thus expressed himself in a letter to Senator Voorhees regarding the petition favoring the vote of a sum of money to Mrs. B. W. Hanna: "Your statement of the case presents a strong appeal to Congress for legislation in relief of the heirs of Mr. Hai:na a faithful officer of the government, as records of the government show him to have been. It was not within the power of the departments to pay him a greater salary than that appropriated by Congress, but it is a fact stated by you that Mr. Hanna served without additional pay after the grade of his office had been raised to that of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. During his term he contracted diseases which incapacitated him for professional labors after his return home and resulted in his death. Favorable action by Congress on the relief bill pending would be a merited compliment to a distinguished citizen."
Returned to His First Love. Lee S. Warner, of Buffalo, who has bought out J. A. Joel's clothing store, will be remembered by many as being in the clothing business here about fifteen years ago. He was a hustler then and still is with a much better knowledge of his business, for he has in the meanwhile baen connected witli some of the leading wholesale houses of the east. Mr. Warner by the way is a personal friend of Grover Cleveland and one of his warm admirers. He says Grover is not a bit stuck up and is always glad to meet his old friends in Buffalo.
A Letter from California.
Redlands, Cal.—It affords me much pleasure to write back to my native home and to give you an account of things out here. I came here in August, 1891, and I was in very poor health when I arrived. I began to get better at once and was soon able to go out and work. I was so delighted with the country that I decided to remain. I went into the real estate business and am highly pleased with the work. The people are very kind and enterprising, and the effect is that our town is enjoying a boom. Our town is only a few miles from Los Angeles and only an hour's drive to our county seat, Bernardino. People come here from all parts of the United States Among those who are here now are Senator Edmunds and family, ex-Gov. St. John of Kansas, Bill Nye and quite a number more. We are now picking oranges and they are very fine. The picking continues from December till May. Small fruits grow here in abundance and are very tine. The weather is most delightful. It is the reverse of Indiana weather, being quite hot in the morning but early in the evening the sea breezes co.ne in and makes it very delightful. We have a fine Y. M. C. A. hall here and the members are very enthusiastic in their work and are accomplishing much good. It looks quite strange to look over the fields and not see any blue gasss as in the old Hoosier State. One cannot get the seed here, although it grows very well. There are some fine crops of wheat raised out here, and a much surer one than in your country. The tiowers are in full bloom and very fragrant. It is a very beautiful sight to see afield of
Uowers in this country. It is truly the finest place I think in the United States. James W, Mitcheltree.
'St
Tnis is meunt for you.
It has been truly said that half the world does not know how the other half lives. Comparatively few of us have perfect health, owing to the impure condition of our blood. Hut we rub along from day to day, with scarcely a thought, unless forced to our attentien, of the thousands all about us who are suffering from scrofula, salt rheum and other serious blood disorders, and whose agonies can only be imagined. The marked success of Hood's Sarsapardla for these troubles, as shown in our advertising columns frequently, certainly seems to urging the use of this excellent medicine by all who know that their blood is disordered. Every claim in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla is lully backed up by what the medicine has done and is still doing, and when its proprietors urge its merits and its use upon all who suflerfrom impure blood, in great or small degrees, they certainly mean to include you.

IraiAUAPOLis, Ind., Ph. 4.—The bill to compel all railroad trains to stop at county seats was reported adversely by the railroad committee Friday and the house acquiesced without debate. In the same way it killed a bill to throw the safeguards of the Australian ballot law about primary elections and nominating1 conventions. In both houses the work was purely negative, consisting in the killing of numerous minor bills. The senate's judicial apportionment committee reported a bill reducing the number of judicial circuits from fifty-four to forty-seven.' The judges left out cannot be legislated out of office, but the legislature will decline to appropriate money for their salaries, thus compelling1 them to retire. In the house Mr. Cujlop introduced a bill to tax the gross receipts oi telephone and telegraph companies.
Iwdianapolis, Ind., Feb. 3.—The senate after much discussion Thursday killed two measures introduced by Senators Kopelke and Lorgan intended to put the fee and salary law on a constitutional basis. The house railroad committee unanimously agreed to report favorably a bill creating a state railroad commission. It provides for the appointment by the governor of three commissioners to hold office for four years.
Iicdianapoms, Ind., Feb. 6.—The lower branch of the legislature held a short session on Saturday. Mr. Haggard introduced a resolution to the fc fleet that the business of the house is not in such condition as to determire whether or not a special session will be necessary. This was to offset Ilench's resolution that there be no extra session. Chairman Hargins of the committee that investigated the penitentiary at Michigan City made his report, exonerating Warden French of all eh a ryes and complimenting him and lii.s bubordinates for maintaining discipline without resorting to brutal punishment. Appropriations amounting to for the institution were recommended.
The ways and means committee of the general assembly has practically agreed upon a report recommending a reduction of two cents in the levy for general state purposes, leaving it at sixteen cents on the S-100. and a reduction o£ five cents at least fur the school fuud.
IirmANAJ'oi.is. Ind., Feb. 7.—In the senate Monday two apportionment bills were introduced, one by Fulk for the democrats and one by Wishard for the republicans. In the house the Harns bill to abolish horse racing in Indiana during the winter months and to provide that no race course shall be open for more than sixty
utive days was read a third time and passed bv a vote of To to 1, Mr. Fippen being the only objector. Another important measure that passed the house was Williams* bill to repeal section 7 general election law, which provides for the publication of the monster Australian ballots in newspapers. The publication of these ballots at the November election cost the state about S7S, 000.
Indianapoms, Ind., Feb. 8.—In the house, by a vote of 04 to 34, Representative Deery's bill abolishing the convict lease system was defeated. Another labor bill met a different fate, being passed almost unanimously. It provides that no company operating a railroad over 0 miles in length, in whole, or in part within this state, shall permit or require any conductor, engineer, fireman or brakeman 011 any train who has worked in Ins respective capacity for twenty-four consecutive hours, except in case of casualty, to again go on duty or perforin any work until he has had at least eight hours' rest.
The senate passed a bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes or tobacco to persons under 10 years of age. It now goes to the governor for signature. The following state bank resolution was introduced and referred: "Resolved, That tho committee on bunks be requested to report a bill providing for the creation of the state banking system bused upon securities wnich will bo an absolute protection to noteholders, and otherwise guarding the liiiHticial interests of the people."
In the senate the bill which had passed the house repealing that clause of the Australian ballot law requiring newspaper publication oi' tickets was defeated by two votes. A bill was reported favorably, and all preliminary indications are that it will pass, requiring foreign building and loan associations doing business in the state to deposit $100,000 with the state treasurer and be placed under the supervision of the state treasurer.
MR. BLAINE'S WILL.
His Jtntire Property, Valued at $1,000,OOO, (ioes to lrs. liJ:une.
Augtsta. Me., Feb. S.—Mr. Klaine's will will be liled at the meeting of the probate court next Tuesday and a copy wiil be sent to the press for the morning papers. It is understood that the will is short and gives all the estate unreservedly to Mrs. Blaine, who is made sole executrix. The entire property is valued at about 81,0U0,0S0, and the residence in this city is valued at about 5510,000. It will always remain in the possession of the Blaiue family, and will not be rented. The relatives of the Blaine family think that Mrs. Blaine will spend the coming season in Europe and that flattie, the youngest daughter, will accompany her. ,1! A

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 7.—The general term of the superior court Of Marion county has handed down an opinion declaring the firemen's fund pension law passed by the legislature of ld'Jl unconstitutional. The case directly passed upon was that of the London and Lancaster Insurance company against the state auditor, who had threatened to blacklist the company for not paying in its share of the fund. The opinion, however, decides three other cases now pending. It was written by Judge Bartholomew and concurred in by Judges Taylor and Harper. It is held that the full purport of the bill is not set forth in the enacting clause and on this ground the bill is unconsti-tutional,-'even if there were no other factors.'! -ft

WANTS HER SHARE.
Tim Widow of tlie Author of'"The Sweet By and By," and Other Songg, Seeks to Recoycr a Portion of the Proflta from
Their Sale.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8.—The "Sweet By and By" and a dozen other Sundayschool songs are involved in. a case on hearing before Judge llorton. The bill is one for accounting, brought by Johanna H. Webster against Oliver H. Ditson, of Boston, and Lyon & Ilealy, of Chicago. The late Joseph P. Webster wrote the songs and S. Filmore Bennett set them to music. A contract was entered into by which the defendants were to publish the songs in small book form. It is alleged in the bill that they have exceeded the terms of the contract by publishing the "Sweet By and By" in every form possible. By doing so, it is said, the defendants have realized a large profit on this song alone. Bennett, it is said, has been settled with, and the widow of Webster now seekB to enjoy her share of the profits.

I renzi'l Knew tin- Signatnrr. Nobi.esvii.lk, ind., F«b. 8.—The indications are that all the testimony in the McDonald will case will be completed by the last of the week. Six witnesses, acquaintances of Senator McDonald and familiar with his writing, testified Tuesday that in their opinions the signatures were genuine. The principal feature of the proceedings was the testimony of John P. Frenzel, president of the Merchants' national bank of Indianapolis and member of the democratic state committee at the time- Senator McDonald was chairman. Plaintiff's attorneys had prepared a copy of the will bearing a spurious signature of the senator. Witness promptly identified it as genuine. saying he would know it among ten thousand.
