These instruments are the finest in the market and contain many improvements found in no others. Old iastruments are taken in exchange and both Pianos and Organs are sold for cash or on time.

Dr. Carney Speabeth.

To tiio Editor Journal. SHELBYVILLE, IND., Oct. 29, 1895.—A newspaper clipping was sent me by a friend who forgot to name the paper it was published in. I am at home and well after my experience in your town. I have thought that if were not* for such poor cusses as I the mayor would not have a "white throne" to sit on. The eagles would starve on the brass buttons. They would scream for beef steak with no one to supply them, for the police would be without employment, the saloon man would cease eating steak, and eat liver, and the newspaper man be without items.

The item was a good one and amused me very much if I did think that the man who wrote it, when he left this mundane sphere "vould never find that country whose winds were ladened with that "beautiful snow."

But the meanest thing said was that 1 had been minister on the Bristle Ridge and Round Hill. For I swear to you that no church or Sunday school collection was taken up to pay my fine. And as far as I know I would still have been continuing warm under blankets loaded to appease my hunger on beef neck and boiled turnips.

I remain, Yours Respectfully, JOHN W. CARNEY, M. D.

Anti-Toxin a Success.

Effie Guthrie, the diphtheria patient, who in the extremity was given antitoxin treatment, is practically out of danger. Anti-toxin is now used in the public dispensary at Indianapolis and physicians say that the remedy is almost marvelous in its curative properties. "The consensus of the entire medical world is in favor of it," said Dr. McShane. Dr. Brayton states that every day of delay in administering the remedy means 10 per cent, more deaths. If used on the fifth day, he says, the percentage is 25. The latter physician has completed an experi ment that proves that the remedy has no deleterious effects whatever on the kidneys, the muscles of the heart or the nervous system. Contrary to the general belief, Dr. Pink has treated about twenty cases with the remedy and not one of them that he has been called to attend from the start has died. A little child was brought to his office from its home near Crown Hill. It was so far gone that the Doctor said that under any other circumstances it would have choked to death before morning. He gave the dose and was surprised the next day when he drove out to the residence to see the child playing. Few people have an idea as to the real nature of a dose of anti-toxine. It is a liquid of a pale red color and each dose fills a bottle that will presumably hold a cubic inch of the fluid. It takes several emptyings of an ordinary hypodermic syringe to inject-p dose.

Hunter and Lamb.

Indianapolis News: John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, was in the city Monday. Mr. Lamb was asked if he had ever been mistaken for the Rev. R. V. Hunter, formerly of this city, now of Terre Haute. Mr. Lamb gave a quiet laugh. "When Mr. Hunter first came to Terre Haute," said Mr. Lamb, "we heard a good deal about him. My wife and myself were on the train one day coming to Indianapolis. Mrs. Lamb asked me what sort of a looking man Mr. Hunter was. I said I'd seen him two or three times, but did not know him, that he had a bullet head, a thick neck, a white eye and looked like an all-round tough. This description had hardly been ended when I saw a man in the forward part of the car rise and walk toward me. It was Mr. Hunter, who introducing himself to me, asked to be made acquainted with my wife. 'Why,' said Mr. Hunter, 'I felt that I ought to know your husband, as I've been taken for him more than fifty times.' "Mrs. Lamb, with my description fresh in her mind, gave me a look that spoke volumes."

They Go With Guns.

The Monon officials caused a bulletin to be posted'at the dispatcher's office Sunday that created no small amount of comment. The bulletin was signed Sup't. L. A. Parker, and it required the passenger engineers, firemen, conductors, brakemen and baggagemen to arm themselves and carry said arms where they could easily reach in case of emergency. It is now being whispered about that the Monon officials have got wind of an attempt to hold up one of their trains and are preparing for it in advance. It is known that there are from three to four determined men on each train daily that would make it interesting for train robbers.

She put their minds at ease last Wednesday, however, by arriving safe and sound with her husband. The family reunion tat 1001 Haw street was a most touching one.

The Bridge Here.

The Wabash avenue bridge has finally arrived, reaching here some five days ago. However, the Canton Iron Bridge company has not yet sent any one on to put it up, so the structure might as well be in«Kenuebunkport, Maine, so far as its utility is concerned.
