street, Indianapolis, Ind., who has run an engine for two years on the Wabash road, and thirteen years on the Monon road, much of that time having been the engineer on the fast newspaper train has, for the past ten years, suffered from indigestion in its worst form. He had a continual heavy feeling in his stomach, so that he had to lie in bed to ease his pain. This indigestion caused chronic diarrhoea and sleeplessness. He had to be very careful as to his diet, and could only eat as simple a food as potatoes sparingly. He took four boxes of LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS, and now he can eat anything. His digestion is perfect he can sleep well, and he gives it as his opinion that the medicine does everything that is claimed for it He heartily recommends it to all persons suffering from indigestion or any stomach disorder.

THE DR. J. H. MCLEAN MEDICINE CO., ST. LOUIS, MO.

HE'S A MCE OLD BUN.,

feiiini.el II. Iteicliard Takes First Money and Lowers the World's Record in tlie Matrimonial Sweepstakes.

Samuel H. Reichard is a dashing young blade of seventy-eight summers who for several years has resided here with T. J. Buck and wife, Mrs. Buck being his daughter. Mr. Eeichard has been a widower for a number of years and his friends will be surprised to learn that he has once more launched the barque of his budding and vernal hopes on the sweet, still waters of matrimony. He drove to Lebanon last week and Friday led to the altar Mrs. M. E. Heath, a fair and fascinating young widow, the blushes on whose dimpled cheeks have been kissed by the love lisping breezes of sixty-seven springtimes.

The affair has its romantic side. About three weeks ago Mr. Buck, who is in the picture business, went to Lebanon to deliver some goods sold by his agents and he took the frisky Mr. Reichard along. The blithe old boy insisted on making the rounds with Mr. Buck, and in due time they arrived at the substantial brick residence of the coy young widow aforesaid. Neither of them had ever seen her but she had bought a picture and they both went in to deliver it. Mrs. Heath was looking her foxiest and Mr. Reichard lost his poor, tender little heart the first dash out of the box and he stayed behind to hunt for it while Mr. Buck went on to make another picture delivery nearby. Mr.Buck was gone only twenty minutes and when he returned his father-in-law went away with him. Sly Mr. Reichard had not found his own heart in this brief time but he had found the cardiacal member of this susceptible widow and acting on the principle that fair exchange is no robbery he carried it away with him to Crawfordsville. But he found that while the possession of a new heart was very jolly in many respects.it wouldn't beat just right unless in the neighborhood—the immediate neighborhood— of the old one. He accordingly drove over to Lebanon last week and called on the widow Heath. She was beaming like a full moon in August and didn't mind the loss of her heart a bit since she had found his while dusting. They concluded, however, that the swap would be better all around if they trotted the balance of their race in double harness.

The thing4was agreed upontand Friday was set as the happy day. They would have been married Thursday but the prospective bride desired to get the washing out of the way and bake up a batch of pies.

The matrimonial slow coaches of the present generation would do well to take a tip from Grandpa Reichard and Grandma Heath—excuse us! young Mr. Reichard and bride!

W. R.C.

The Woman's Relief Corps, of this district held their convention at Delphi last week, with an attendance of about one hundred. The meeting was held at Odd Fellow's hall, the use of which was kindly tendered them. Mrs. Mary E. Sims, of Frankfort, presided, and the welcome address was made by Mrs. Belle Jenkins, of Delphi, responded to by Mrs. Mechner, of Kokomo. Mrs. Mary E. Sims, of Frankfort, was recommended as Department Commander, and Mrs. Kane, of Delphi, elected as delegate to the national convention to be held at St. Paul, Minn., next year. The department commander will select the officers of the different posts .in each district, this being composed of nine counties. The ladies were right 'royally entertained by the Delphi post, and given an elegant entertainment at the hall in the evening. The next district meeting will be held in Lafayette next year.

Sunday School Convention.

The Ripley Township Sunday School Union held the best and largest attended convention last Thurday it has held since its organization. The church building would not begin to hold the people present and great interest was manifested in the programme and discussions throughout. Just before dinner a committee was appointed, at the suggestion of Rev. Higgins, of Lebanon, to visit the sick, afflicted and very aged, and to take to them of the abundance that was offered by the ladies of Alamo and vicinity.

This was the first of the series of-our township conventions and if the others prove as interesting and helpful as this one, surely much good will come from them.

\ULL, HERE'S A GO!

lno Townfiiiip Trustees Klected Last Novombor Could Have Taken Their Seats At Oitce.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The Supreme court last week handed down seven decisions and the Appellate court three. In one of the cases, that of the State of Indiana on the relation of Daniel E. Wilson vs. James M. Wells, which was an appeal from the Grant county circuit court, the Supreme court holds that every township Trustee elected last November could have taken office at once by qualifying and tiling his bond. Had the township trustees then elected so acted they could have proceeded to the election of county superintendents, and the bill passed by the last Legislature changing the time of electing county Superintendents, which was declared unconstitutional by othe Supreme court, would have been an entirely unnecessary proceeding. Forty county superintendents who are now serving as Democrats would have been succeeded by Republicans last June, and the township trustees elected as Republicans in seventy-five counties of the State, would have increased their terms of office by nine months, as their successors, under the decision of the Supreme court handed down last week, will demand office the day after election.

Daniel E. Wilson, elected township Trustee in Center township, Grand county, was the only Trustee who attempted to take his office at the time of his election last November, and is the only man directly affected by the decision, all the others having forfeited their rights by not claiming them at the time. Mr. Wilson on November 4, 1894, made a demand for the office from Sames M. Wells, his predecessor, and was refused. He then brought suit and a demurrer to the information was sustained.

The decision was written by Chief Justice Howard, and after reviewing the several statutes bearing upon the election of township trustees, says: "From the foregoing provisions of law it is evident that when appellee Wells was elected in April of 1890 it was for a term of four years and no more, his term ending in August, 1894, and that after that date there would have been a vacancy but for the constitutional provision which allowed him to remain in office until his successor was elected and qualified. The conclusion seems inevitable that Mr. Wilson, having been duly elected to fill the office, and having qualified, was entitled to it in November, 1S94. The judgment is reversed."

Two Dangeroug Epidemics.

All over Indiana typhoid fever is raging and in many of the towns diptheria is rampant. The State board has no record of all the places where these afflictions prevail and none of the total number of cases. In some places it has been necessary to close the public schools. Everywhere city and county boards are earnestly at work to abate the epidemics. The State board in lending its aid and urging subordinate boards to be rigid in enforcing the quarantine rules and thorough in disinfecting.

The progress of epidemics is too often due to incomplete disinfection. In many instances, the paper on the walls of rooms where patients have been confined should be torn off and the walls washed with the proper solution. A plan of disinfecting that is commonly followed, is to fumigate with sulphur. The State Board does not think that sulphur fumigates. The Board is also urging that dead victims be given private funerals and defines what a private funeral is. It is not one held at a residence where the public can attend, but one attended only by those absolutely required to be there. It is thought that the cooler weather will aid in suppressing the two afflictions.

They Were All Right.

It seems THE JOURNAL was misinformed as to the success of Roe Miller's bloodhoupds in the chase .of the Linuen highwaymen. The robbers were not caught, it is true, but their trail was struck and followed directly to their house, the dogs stopping at the door. Two young men of bad reputation lived there and had undoubtedly been the guilty parties. When the officers with the dogs arrived, however, the young desperadoes had flown, leaving the country in a buggy. A determined effort is being made to capture them.

BMUMIMT,

Wilkes Swiped.

Benssalaer Wilkes was badly swiped in the Transylvania race at Lexington last Thursday. In afield of 12 starters he came out seventh. Lady Wilton took sixta place.

SURPRISED THE FOLKS.

Dr. C. J. Itritton and Miss TCatlierine Lee are Happily Married in In. dianapolis.

It will be(a decided surprise to this community to learn that Dr. Chester J. Britton and Miss Katherine Lee, the pretty and accomplished daughter of Maurice J. Lee, were happily married Thursday of last week in the Bates House at Indianapolis. No one except the high contracting parties had the least intimation of the event. Even their own families did not suspect they were more to each other than ordinary friends.

It seems, however, that they were and in consequence there are some surprised people here to-day.

The young people were secretly engaged when some two weeks ago Miss Lee left for Oxford, Ohio, to resume her studies in the Oxford Female college. They did not intend to be married or even announce their engagement until her course at college was completed but the separation proved too much for both. After some writing back and forth Dr. Britton received a letter telling him to meet his betrothed in Indianapolis Thursday. He donned his best bib and tucker in haste and smiling slyly went speeding over on the afternoon train. In Indianapolis he met Miss Lee and they were married as before stated in the parlors of the Bates House, having just enough time to catch the evening train for Crawfordsville.

Arrived here they were driven to the suburban home of the bride's parents north of the city where the news the marriage was first told. Mr. and Mrs. Lee were greatly astonished, but were disappointed only in not having been told of the marriage in advance. Doctor and Mrs. Britton passed the night there and in the morning JudgeBritton and family were apprised. They, also, were dumbfounded but viewed the marriage in the happiest manner. The young people are to be congratulated on the complete success of their plans. They evidenced a generalship not usually displayed in such affairs. Both are popular and their many friends unite in congratulating them on their union. As yet they have not determined upon their future plans.

Baptist Statce Convention.

Terre Haute Tribune: "On October 29th, 30th and 31st the annual State convention of the Baptist churches will be held in this city.

Wednesday night at a meeting at the First Baptist church the following executive cominitte was appointed: J. A. Parker, J. G. Dobbs, J. H. Williams, M. Pierson, D. E. Allen, J. Q. Button and R. L. Alder. Tha committee met last night at the residence of Mr. Williams and mapped out the work. Committees were appointed on finance, entertainment of delegates, reception, printing, ushers, music, house and floral decoration, messenger service, hotels,'etc.

Baptist conventions are never legislative as is the Presbyterian Bynod or the Methodist conference but are purely for the interchange of views for the general advancement of the church. About 300 delegates are expected.

A Hale Old Man.

Last Friday evening J.B, Mahorney, aged 82 years, arrived at the home of his son, H. B. Mahorney, of Pawnee, having driven through to this county from Sidney, 111., a distance of 85 miles. He made the trip in two days and arrived as fresh as a daisy. This hale old gentleman is the father of Zack and Alex Mahorney, of this city.

12. Que Allen is certainly one of the most perfect race horses Indiana ever produced. He never was drawn from race has trotted fifty-six winning heats, never was behind the money but once, and had to take second money but twice, winning first in all of the rest of his races.

This career is equaled by few horses. Considering the fact that the Bloomington track is a slow track this low-^ ering of the record is marvelous.

Few Hollars.

Indianapolis Journal: Judge Jump and Dr. Bogard, executors of the e«-. tate of the late Josephus Collett, the well known. Terre Haute capitalist,!* have been ruled to answer in thefe United States Court a week from day in the suit brought by New "Sorlr'M capitalists, who hold a note for S300,000 which Mr. Collett indorsed. If the amount is paid out of his estate it willi prevent the execution of hiB will, lnj|. which he made several large bequests^ to public institutions, among them/ $75,000 to the Rose Polytechnic Initial tute, of Terre Haute, and 975,000 forif an orphans' home in Vermillion connty, where Mr. Collett formerly lived. When Mr. Collett sold the Chicago Ohio River road to Mr. Mackey, he dorsed the note now in litigation. The note was issued by Mr. Mackey, and„^ had as indorsers, besides Mr. Colleit, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Baldwin, who were associated with Mr. Mackey in J§ the Mackey system of railrpttds^ Since the note was sold Mr. 'J&bkeyj^apis has becomc a-bankrupt and the'hamesij of Baldwin and Hopkins are not of ac-~ count as regards the payment of the^ note, and Mr. Collett is dead. At the" time he made his will Mr. Collett no thoughts that would ever be called'« upon to pay any part of the note. AJ few years before his death he was worth 8800,000,, but the loss of *9200,000* in the wheel trust and as much more by the shrinkage of values in other in-1 duBtrial Btocks, cut his fortune in two He was a bachelor, and the will bequeathed the remainder of the estate after paying the public bequests, to sisters, nieces and nephews.
