The Marked Success
of Scott's Emulsion in consumption, scrofula and other forms of hereditary disease is due to its powerful food properties.
Scott's Emulsion
rapidly creates healthy flesh— proper weight. Hereditary taints develop only when the system becomes weakened.
Nothing in the world of medicine has been so successful in diseases that are most menacing to life. Physicians everywhere prescribe it.

DRESS REFORM.
The Man On the Corner Interjects Some Kemarks. There are many opinions concerning the woman's congress recently held in Chicago. The "Man On«the Corner" in the Delphi Journal expresses himself in the following graphic style: "A lot of women from all parts of the world have been in session in Chicago for several days and the one great question that appears to have agitated them was that ot 'dress reform.' They have been attempting to figure out some sort of a plan upon which a female rig may be constructed that will be improvement over the present dress. They have discussed the question in an hundred phases and have had samples presented, but they are just where they started with no hope ot a solution of the great problem. "The women who have been engaged in this dress discussion in Chicago have no business wearing dresses at all. They should wear pants. The woman who will object to the present neat and attractive style of feminine rigging has no right to be a woman. She ought to be a man and be compelled to run a threshing machine and sucker corn. I have lived a great while and I never saw our women and girls looking sweeter ana more comfortable. These masculine females who are chattering in Chicago while their husbands are at home taking care of the babies, appear to be particularly anxious to get rid of the skirt. They claim it is in the way. They appear desirous of being in Bhape to kick a dog or a football unhindered by any garment. They long for the ease and comfort that comes to a man when he leans back in his favorite chair, places his feet up on the mantle piece and peruses the daily paper. But the men of this country will hardly consent to this. The dress suggested in Chicago that came nearer than anything else pleasing the anxious women was one with a short skirt—a skirt, the bottom of which came about three inches above the knee. Think of it. What a nice figure the spindle shanked female would cut in a costume of this kind. Or the stout woman, wouldn't she look like a bird as she gaily trotted down town in the morning with her market basket on her arm and a gleam in her eye? A nice lot of cuiiosities we would have walking our streets and riding around on our public highways. "The women who holler the loudest for dress reform are those who would not look becoming in any sort of a garb. They can't be pretty and attractive themselves and chey consequently want to devise some sort of harness that will make all women appear ugly. Then ihese clock-stoppers would bo happy. But they will hardly succeed in their work. "I'd rather leave the dress question to the pretty women and girls than with the feminine-masculines that have met in Chicago. We will then be sure to have female attire neat and attractive. There has never been but one danger in the matter of women's dress that was really alarming which called for reform and I understand that that has been eliminated long ago, at least among all save the ultra fashionable in the large cities. I refer to the matter of lacing. There was a time, not far back either, when the women and girls thought they could not be pretty unless they forced their liver, lungs, kidneys and stomach up under their chins by means of corset' with tiglitning attachments.
There was a prospect at one time that the female waist would be squeezed out of existence and that the women of the future would walk around in two sec tions. But common sense p.nd physical comfort came to the rescue and no woman who has enough brains to tell the rising from the setting sun, now laces.
My judgment is that the best thing these dress reformers could possibly do would be to return home and ease the burden that is bearing down their fortunate and careworn husbands."
Shall Churches Advertise? A correspondent of the Somerviile, Mass., Citizen, has addressed that paper in a letter so apropos to the case of the Christian church of this city which has just made anangement for a space in the daily papers for every Saturday to January 1, 189A, that we reproduce a part of it. He says: "I do not believe that many things Bucceed in these days without being advertised. I don't mean advertised by displayed notices in advertising columns in all cases, but I do mean calling public attention to t.hem by means of printers' ink in Borne way. A pastor could sit down and in fifteen minutes each week write out enough for a quarter of a column about h's church, all good readable matter that would increase the interest of his own flock and perhaps interest somebody else. I can not conceive why that they should neglect each an opportunity of reaching the public. A theatre, even with its attraction, would be accounted foolish should it neglect to tell the public what are upon its boards. Why should not the church use the same diligence in seeking to uplift and save men that the playhouses do in seeking to amuse them? I think that pastors throw away one grand opportunity for helping their churches by not keeping the publio generally better posted about what is going on in the churches."
A Solid, Knoclc-Down Blow. The whale blows water while at play: Trees blow In every clime The sweetest flowers blow In May,
The wind blows all the time. There's lots of blowing in this world. Sufferers from catarrh blow their noses, and quacks blow about their "cures Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is the only infallible one. Its proprietors back up this claim by offering £500 for every case they fail to cure permanently. This is an unanswerable blow at humbuggery, coming from men of sterling reputation and ample capital. Nasal Catarrh cannot resist the potency of this Remedy, it stops discharges, leaving the senses acute, the head clear, and the breath normal. Of all druggists, 50 cents.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE
STREET GARS WILL BE RITBBIJSG
RIGHT B£ THE DOOR.
The Ordinance Passed—Business Trans
acted by the Oity Oouucil.
The city council met Monday night,all members present except Mr. Reynalds. The reading of the minutes was dispensed with in order to give more time to business.
A water trough is to replace the fountain at the college corner, and the fountain on Blair street is to be changed to another location.
The Wire Fence Co. offers to pay the expense of placing a fire alarm at their factory, and the matter was referred.
A declaratory resolution was passed to boulder the gutters on both sides of Washington street from College to Franklin, and the bouldering of the gutters on Washington stieet, from Franklin south, was awarded to Morris Carroll at 18 cents per lineal foot.
Dr. Hutchings called the attention of the council to the importance of cleaning up, and advised the employment of men to haul away garbage, slops and rubbish. Councilman Smith wanted a furnace in which to burn such matter, and the various plans were referred to a committee.
Mr. Vanarsdall desired the Street Commissioner be authorized to notify property owners to fix sidewalks, or to tear up the walks. He said that a man had just been injured by stepping into a low place in a walk and a suit would be entered against the city just as soon as some lawyer could get to 6ee the man.
A sidewalk was ordered on both sides of Franklin street, between Washington and Walnut streets.
Mr. Hance, of Springfield, O., was present and explained the superiority of a sewer catch basin opening that he was selling. The city will purchase seyeral.
The main business of the meeting was centered in in the street car ordinance. After talking for several years, and writing and re-writing ordinances bearing upon the subject, the city council has at last passed an ordinance giving the franchise for an electric line to A. F. Ramsey and Joseph T. McNary. There were some concessions on both sides, the main changes being that the bond is good for 30 years, and the Johnson rail can be used upon paved streets. These gentlemen have thirty days in which to accept or reject.
The Bad Luck oi McOlellan Jones.,if McClellan George Washington Lincoln Jones, the hopeful son of our esteemed fellow citizen, Burrell Jones, colored, was born under an unlucky star. To adopt the euphonious phraseology of the pBaluiist, he was born with a fork in his mouth while it was raining soup. Things have never come his way correctly. They have seemed to have come this way and sometimes really have, but an investigation by the police has usually demonstrated to the satisfaction of all that said things belonged to somebody else. McClellan has always been somewhat of a communiet and has held fast to that tenet which declares for the common ownership of property. McClellan has also been known to hold fast to water melons and chickens in their season. Unfortunately for this progressive young man his beliefs and opinions are not entertained by the large and active portion of this benighted community. Some time since, McClellan in order to give a praa tical demonstration of his 20th century views, "lifted" with the traditional warm board from the roost of farmer West, who lives on the Dovon place west of town, six or eight young turkeys and bore them home in scholarly triumph.
His arrest occurred Saturday night and ho passed the holy Sabbath day at the jail along with that disreputable thug Jule Bailey.
Sent Her florae.
Frank Kincaid has separated from his wife. Her recent bad break in starting away from home and then returning was too much for him. During her absence the neighbors unburdened their bosoms to him and related all the suspicious actions of Mrs. Kincaid and Largent. Mrs. Kincaid upon her return failed to return satisfactory answers to his questions so he took her home to her father, John Eshelman, of Coal Creek township. Divorce proceedings will doubtless be ins-ituted.
A Car Load of Oil.
When a man buys by the car load it signifies that he has bought at the very lowest figuree and expects to do a big business. It is an important fact then to consumers of oil that John W. Faust recently invested in a car load of oil, probably the biggest shipment of oil ever made to Crawfordsville.

The Field Day Uontest.
Although Wabash defeated Rose Poly at base ball last Satuiday the tables were turned Monday at Stata field dav contest. In fact, Rose Poly took
1
nearly everything and then cried for more. The field day was successful in I every particular, the day beautiful. track fine, crowd immense, and the contestants all on their mettle. Rose Poly took first place with 60 points Pardue 2nd, with 40 Butler, 3d, with 28, and Wabash, 4th, with 21, and DePauw last with 9 poins. Fifteen State records were broken and Wabash broke two of them. Allen in the running broad jump made a beautiful jump of 1!) feet 6 inches, a remarkable performance. Vanderbilt broke the one mile walk record 4 seconds, making it in 8 minutes, 4 2 5 seconds. Acker won the hurdle race in 18 2 5 seconds. Little got second place in the 100 yards dash, and third place in the 220 dash. Allen took third in the hop-step-and-iump, while Wynecoop took third in the mile run, while any number of Wabash men took fourth place, showing that if the records had not been broken they would have been up among the first. For instance, Buchanan was fourth in the hammer throwing contest, throwing the hammer 85 feet, 8 inches, even beating Stevenson, the Purdue expert. Heretofore this throw would have taken first place, but Darst of P. I. threw the hammer 97 feet, beating the State record 12 feet. Wabash received secoud place in tennis in both singles and doubles.
Suit for Damages.
On February 4 last during the icy time Dr. May in company with his wife was coming down Water street and in front of the residence of B. F. Crabbs met the bus of Walkup it McFarland. He avers that the driver refused to give him half or any portion of the driveway and he was upset in the deep gutter on the opposite side. His horse ran a*vay and was so badly injured that he was compelled to take her life. He instituted suit to recover 8400 damages. The case was heard Monday. The jury returned a special verdict, showing all the facts in the case, upon which the court must determine whether Dr. May is entitled to any damages or not. They fix his damages at S1G5, in case the court shall desermine he is entitled to recover.
Election of Vestrymen and Wardens. An election of Parish ollicers of St. John's Episcojital church to 6erve during the ensuing year took place at the church Monday evening resulting as follows: Samuel Smythe, senior warden W. A. Bodell, junior warden A. H. Braden and Win. H. Webster, vestrymen Wai. H. Webster was elected as clerk of vestry.
