Lyon Medicine Company:

GENTLEMEN—I began taking LYON'S SEA EN WONDERS sorao timo sinco for a very bad case of nervous dyspepsia and insomnia, and I am glad to state that it is doing for me what all other remedies tried by me failed to do—cure me. I have about finished my third box and I am more than pleased with its results, and I can cheerfully recommend it to all suffering with nervous dyspepsia as a first-class medicine, and one that has merit. You are at liberty to use this letter in any manner you may eee fil, as I am anxious indeed to have every one know who suffers with this dreadful disease how to get well.

Very truly yours,

All the high school teachers of the county have organized with a view of bettering the condition of the schools throughout the county. They seek uniformity. All high schools have adopted a course of study and as far as practicable will carry it out. The meetings are to be held in the county superintendent's office. A programme has been prepared for the next meeting which is given below with a list of the high school teachers. R. W. Noble is President ,T.

One hour will be given for the discussion of each subject.

The County Superintendent. As announced in last Friday's JOURNAL J. S. Zuck will continue in office as county superintendent until June, IS!"7, when the present board of trustees will elect his successor. This continuance is due to the decision of the Supreme Court which invalidates the law of the last Legislature which placed the time for the election in September.

This decision will not, as many suppose, rob the Republicans of two years time in the superintendent's office. The present board will elect a superintendent in June, '07. and then another in June, '0'.), just before they retire from office. This will give the Republicans the office for four yeas.

Naturally Mr. Brewer will have precedence in the race for the office in '97 inasmuch as he was the caucus nominee this year. However, before that time circumstances may arise which will completely change the complexion of affairs.

Mr. Zuck has made a fine superintendent and he will doubtless continue his course. He has begun with the new board with the best and most friendly rfelations and the schools will continue to "flourish. In view of the decision of the Supreme Court, Montgomery county is to be congratulated on having so efficient an officer as Mr. Zuck in the place.

Mr. Norwood, of Montgomery. Indianapolis Journal: M. W. Bratt, of Rome, Ga., has sent a letter to the Indiana Department, G. A. R., in which he says John Davis, of Rome, Ga., who was a member of the Confederate army, has some relics that were found on the person of D. L. Norwood, of Co. K, 154th Indiana Volunteers, when he was killed at the battle of Franklin, Tenn. He asks that if Mr. Norwood has any living relatives they correspond with him and he will turn over the relics on satisfactory identification. Mr. Davis says he has evidence that Mr. Norwood was killed in this battle. There is some error in this statement. The only Norwood in the 154th Regiment was Daniel S. Norwood, of Montgomery county, but he was mustered out in 1605 as a corporal. This regiment was not mustered into service until 18G5, while the battle of Franklin occurred in November, 18C4.

A lovely Reception.

On Thursday, Aug. 29th, at their lovely home, fiye miles east of town, Mr. Abner P. Enoch and daughters gave a reception in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ora Enoch. Quite a large number of relatives sat down to a bountiful dinner at 12:30. In the afternoon Mr. Emmet Sutton, of Darlington, entertained the guests by some fine music on the violin, followed by music on the organ by the different guests. The guests left .late in the evening thinking that the day, though rainy, was a most enjoyable one, and that Mr. Enoch and family are royal entertainers. M.

The Bloomington Fair.

C. R. Worral, secretary of the Bloomington fair, was in the city last Fridayhustling for his association. The Bloomington fair, which follows ours, is the best fair in southern Indiana and is getting a fine reputation over the country.

Monday Ity

Win. Johnson.

County Treasurer John C. Mutton was busy Saturdny winding up his affairs in office, for on Monday Wm. Johnson succeed him as custodian of money bags. Mr. Huttou has made an excellent official during his two terms in the office and retires leaving an enviable record. lie has had an able assistant in the person of Ben Warbinton and both gentlemen have the best wishes of all. Neither of them have decided just yet what busito a in O I N A I wishes both of thein all success.

No better man could step into the office than Wm. Johnson, of Scott township, who became our county treasurer on Monday. He is one of the be.st practical business men in the county and lias been engaged in fanning since he was old enough to use the

hoe, and that was quite young as he early took :i part in the support of his widowed mother. The father, Alfred Johnson, was a descendant of pure Kentucky stock, while his mother, Margaret (Doll is) Johnson, was ana live of New Jersey. As early as 1831 they moved into Montgomery county from Kentucky and at once set to work to make them a new home. IIow well they succeeded the beautiful farm now attests and there the mother still resides with one of her sons and a daughter. William Johnson owns a large, well appointed farm and has exteu sively engaged in stock raising. He also dealt largely in both grain and stock, paying- out annually a larger sum for those pWductions than any other dealer in the county. The loaded cars he has shipped would make a train twenty-five miles in length. Mr. Johnson has always been a Republican and the party has had several occasions to need his* services as he has served two terms as assessor by election and was appointed to complete an unexpired term, and he made his duty imperative. He is a man of exceeding good financial ability, and has accumulated considerable property.

Air. Johnson's deputy will be John R. Bonnell. Mr. Bonnell will be the right man in the right place. He is not only clever and extremely popular, but he is thoroughly and unquestionably efficient.

Tlie Wallace Battalion Flag. The Lew Wallace Battalion will be provided with a small American silk flag, 6x10, and mounted' on a red cedar staff. The cedar came direct from the Stone's River battlefield. The flag will have a suitable inscription, the name of the battalion. It will be a handsome affair, and. as many have expressed the desire to be in possession of one to retain as a souvenir, the committee, of which Capt. 11. H. Talbot is chairman, has decided to prepare a number more than will be carried to Louisville. Those persons by calling on him this week can be supplied at a small cost.

A Wedding Announcement. Friends in this city have received invitations to the wedding of Miss Nellie Wilson, of Noblesville. to Mr. Fred B. Adams, of Indianaplis, on Sept. 11. Miss Wilson's mother will be remembered as Miss Frank Pettijohn. who taught school here eighteen years ago. The newly wedded couple will reside at 920 north New Jersey street, Indianapolis.

Fighting the Liquor Traffic. The temperance people of Rockville seem determined to enforce the Nicholson law by remonstrating against licenses being granted to saloons. They have obtained about sixty signers over a majority of the voters against Mankins and Vallier, the two applicants for license.

BURLAR1ZEI

The Kcsidciun of 1. N. YanSi-ll« Uan-Hat-lced liy Knlghtu of (ho .Jimmy I'ltMt FrUhiy Night,

Another burglary occurred last Friday and while successful was a failure when the results possible are compared with the results attained. Saturday when the family of I. N. VanSiekle of south Grant avenue awoke, they found the back door wide open. Satisfied that it had not been so upon their retirement Friday an investigation was instituted and it was found that the house had been ransacked bv burglars. A number of tritling valuables were secured iii several of the the rooms and in the room of Wi,lliam Bromley and wife the thieves secured Mr. Bromley's watch, Mrs, Uromley's jewelry and a scarf pin belonging to Air. anSicklc. Mr. YanSickle's room was not entered and that is where the thieves missed it. His pantaloons hung near the door and in one pocket was a wallet containing over $'(). No one about the house was aroused by the visit and the burglars left no clew as to their identity. It is supposed, however, that the crime was effected by local sneak thieves.

Court Commenced Monday. At the usual hour Judge Harney, looking hearty and hale after his summer's vacation, with deputy clerk McMaken at his post, opened the September term of court. The Judge is looking brown as a nut, the result of much time spent in the open air. l'here is a large number of new suits tiled—one hundred and ninety—but they mostly involve small amounts and ttiere is in fact no suits where there are large sums of money in question. The criminal docket is very light and ttiere are no cases in which the grave offenses are charged. Monday was spent in reading the probate and claim docket and setting the cases for trial. There will not be much business done until after the fair.

A Fine Monument.

John L. and Isaac Davis contracted some time ago with Fred C. Bandel to erect a granite- monument for their mother. Mr. Bandel has just completed the work at the Masonic cemetery in this city. This is said to be the largest and best monument in the county for the money. Those wishing to erect a monument to the memory of their friends will do well to see Mr. Bandel who has his office at 207 east Main street. Mr. Bandel has the agency of two of the largest concerns in Vermont and Massachusetts, there fore can give prices to suit the times, from first class work as he makes granite a specialty.

Services at Center Church.

The vacation at Center church is over and the regular communion services will be held next Sunday conducted by Dr. J. F. Tuttle. One week from Sunday Dr. Morris, of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati, will preach and the next Sunday there will be a memorial service in memory of the late Dr. Cunningham. On the following Sunday Dr. Herrick Johnson, of Chicago, will preach. No one is in view as Dr. Cunningham's successor and the members will be very slow about choosing one as they want to be pure to get the right man.

The loth Indiana Infantry Association* The 10th Indiana Infantry has accepted an invitation to join the Lew W allace Veteran Battalion and will meet the Battalion at the Union station, Indianapolis, Tuesday morning, September 10, and go with headquarters train to Louisville. There will be one hundred and fifty men in this regimental association. They have asked and been assigned by Gen. Lew Wallace the left of the line as they wish to march in a body and carry the flag which was presented to the regiment by the ladies of Louisville in 1802.

The Old Tenth.

The seventeenth annual reunion of the 10th Indiana Infantry will be held on the battle field of Chickamauga, on Sept lit, 1395. All members are requested to attend the national encampment beginning Sept. 10th and lasting until the 14th. The assessor's office in the basement of the court house has been selected as brigade headquarters and all members are requested to register there as soon as they arrive.

lie Chloroformed Her.

Jennie Plunkett has entered suit against Francis Plunkett for divorce and alleges all sorts of mean things against Francis in her complaint. Among other things it is alleged that he frequently chloroformed her. This was probably done when he wanted to read or go to sleep. This little snap Francis had recourse to will doubtless be popularized by being made public.

TIRED OF LIFE.

,1 oil ii 1), II oil May Taken a Copious Draught of Chloroform

John D. Holliday does not possess what would be termed an enviable reputation in this city. Recently he came here from Linden with some two thousand dollars in his inside pocket. Indiscriminate business methods and riotous living did the work and it is said he lost all. He has a wife and family above reproach and there seems no excuse whatever for his silly course. Last winter he eloped with a woman leaving those whom it was his duty to love, cherish and protect behind. It appears that he got tired of the woman shortly and returned to his neglected family. This is a brief chapter from Hulliday's life.

Last Saturday night he took enough chloroform to kill two men. Before he could die Jonathan Everett discovered him and sent word for Dr. O. II. Jones who brought him around all right. When he was in condition to make the trip he was sent to his home at Linden. Upon reaching there he took another dose of the "sleeping fluid," but failed again to shuffle ofl!. A guilty conscience and bad whisky are the causes of his determined effort to take his own life no doubt.

A~PIONEER^

Helieves I'olly Johnson After a !:::.•« Long Illness.

Aunt Polly Johnson died Monday after a long and complicated illj ness. Everybody knew Aunt Polly as she had lived here all her life, some seventy years. She was raised by Mrs. Elizabeth Binford. She was kind and good to all. To know her was to love her. She was a sister of David and Milton Johnson.

The funeral occurred Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment at Oak Hill cemetery.
