He had a continual heavy feeling in his stomach, so that he had to lie in bed to ease his pain, 'rhis 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, aud 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.

DR. FUSON HONORED.

A Farowell Mini Friday Kveiilng at the Baptist Church.

A brilliant and lonp to be retaembered farewell reception was tendered the retiring pastor of the First Haptist church, the Rev. G. P. Fuson and his family, from" to 8 o'clock Friday evening in the church parlors. The pretty rooms were enriched with autumnal decorations and a goodly number of active church workers ably composed the reception committee. Shortly before 8 o'clock the guests were brought to attention by G. W. Whittington, when Captain Chas. M. Travis in a short but eloquent address presented Dr. Fuson with a beautiful gold headed cane in behalf of "a few of his numerous friends" whose list was headed by the name of J. R. Duncan. Rev. Fuson made a timely and somewhat pathetic reply, inviting into prominence a knowlege of the fact that he was not "an old man," though seemingly the years were marking his life, yet he proposed to keep his heart forever in its youth.

At the conclusion of his remarks Dr. Duncan was called upon and explained the plan of the token presented. He said that he did not consider it more his gift than of others who contributed, but that it was intended to slightly represent the esteem of this community for Dr. Fuson. He further explained how it was that no member of Dr. Fuson's congregation was permitted to contribute towards the token, neither was any order or sect.

Following these interesting remarks the visitors were seated in the west wing of the parlors, together with Dr. Fuson and family, where light refreshments were served by the ladies of the church. After the congregation had been waited upon Dr. and Mrs. Fuson took position between the two rooms and were there greeted during the remainder of the evening by their many close friends, who extended to them their heartfelt wishes for their future godspeed in life. During the entire evening were the rooms crowd to their fullest capacity and even that was not the slightest expression of the public regard for such a citizen as Rev. Fuson, whose residence with us terminated Monday,when he and his family went to Nebraska to reside in the future": During the eight years that he has had charge of the church in this city its growth has been marked and rapid. No minister has done more for the community or for his particular church than has Dr. Fuson. As a result of his labors through these eight years he has delivered S25 sermons, conducted 400 prayer services, 222 funerals, 6,000 religious meetings, presided at 121 marriages, received 305 persons into church membership, collected and paid for missions, $500 collected and paid in all $17,000. The Sunday school has enjoyed an increase from 60 scholars to 175. The Baptist Young People's Union was bormduring this time and raised to a membership of 105 workers, while the Junior Society numbers S5 young church workers.

There is ho one but who will regret Rev. Fuson's departure from our midst but that it is wisdom for his health's sake he must go, this entire population unites with one accord in the prayer, "God be with you till we meet again."

Mr. Goben Gone.

Ex-Auditor, John L. Goben, and son, Robert, left last Friday for their home in Momence, 111. Mr. Goben will henceforth do office work in the capacity of president of the Momence Land Office Company. He expressed himself as feeling greatly improved over his release from public office and asserted his unwillingness to again accept any public office offer. His son has charge of a stock ranch and is progressing finely.

ia A Lost Cane.

While on his way up to the city last Friday from Alamo, James Gilkey lost a whittled out hickory cane. It was lost somewhere on the road. Mr. Gilkey values it not for its intrinsic worth, but from its associations. It was a stick formerly carried by the late Senator McDonald, and was given him by a friend of this distinguished man. The finder will please leave it at this office. The favor will be greatly appreciated.

Tin* Kmperly Ca«e.

The reversal of the Emperly gambling case by the appellate court as mentioned in last week's Jouknai. has created considerable comment. Emperly's place was at Linden and he was stuck on several charges, finally being driven out. The following is the text of Judge Gavin's opinion: "(1) Under the criminal code, it is provided that no indictment shall be deemed invalid nor quashed for omitting to state the time at which the offense was committed in any case in which time is not of the essence of the offense nor for stating the time imperfectly, unless time is of the essence of the offence. (2) An affidavit charging one with having committed the offense of keeping a house to be used

for gaming on the day of January, 1895, is not bad for want of definitely

stating the time, that not being of the essence of the offense. (3) Knowledge is an essential ingredient of the offense, and being made so by the letter of the statute, it must be regarded as material to the affidavit. (4) It was error to charge the jury to convict upon proof going te establish his guilt 'for permitting the house to be used for gaining,' as that offense was not properly charged, nor was appellant on trial for other than the offense of keeping a house to be used for gaming.

Universalis

At the Universalist church gSunday morning, in P. O. S. of A. hall, Rev. Charles F. Bushnell, of Roann, was the speaker. His subject was "Elijah's Education," his text .being taken from I Kings xviii-7, "Aod it came to pass after awhile that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land."

He said in part: "This is a part of the story of the education of El'jah. He had come over out of Gilead on an errand from Jehovah, the God of Israel, and had told Ahab that there would be no dew or rain in the years

come excepting as he -should give the word. After delivering his message he went away and hid himself beside the brook. God then began to make him ready for the next part of his work. He went on educating Elijah. God educates us in many way sometimes out of the pages of books but most of all and always, out of that open book, which is written in the universal language to be read of all, and in which we all have a lesson every day—the Book of Life—the book of human experience. God was teaching Elijah at this time, however, not out of a dry book, but out of a dry brook."

The speaker then went on to show the conditions existing at thiB time in Ahab's kingdom and the causes that brought on the punishment of famine to his people. Elijah was satisfied with the punishment that God afflicted and thought it all right and just until

This great lesson of the dependence of each individual upon every other individual is just what Elijah needed to complete his education. It is what we need as a part of our education. The time will come when we must learn it. We come to the same point to which Elijah came and have the same experience.

The Baldwin at Veedersburg.

Veedersburg News: The entertainment given "by the Baldwin Concert Co., of Crawfordsville, in Kerr & Pernell's opera house last Friday evening, was attended by a large and meritous audience that was loud in its expression of appreciation. The programme was in every sense a pleasing one, void of the nonsense of which we have been so accustomed. It was a refined entertainment that promotes taste instead of cultivating to a lot of silly, trashy "barn stormers." It would be impossible to give any particular mention, as none were more deserving than the other. All had a part to till and did it. There were no vacancies.just filled in. The young ladies received many compliments from our people, none that were not deserving.

PART FIRST

Indiana Paper Ig Good.

The Busiest place in the Statt, is the treasurer's office. The fiscal year closed last Thursday and warrants poured into the office. The State government began the new year Friday morning. On the last day of the old year the treasurer paid out about 870,000.

The people of Indiana do not fully understand the financial rating of Indiana in the commercial world," Deputy Treasurer Jerhing says. "No State in the Union ranks higher and few as high. Indiana has been borrowing money at a better rate than the United States government could get it. The loans are at 3 and' 3% per cent and the State gets a premium. These bonds cannot be purchased from the holders, although the demand for them is increasing. Tennessee recently disposed of some bonds at 4 per cent and had to give 2 per cent commission to have them placed on the market. Any paper with the State of Indiana behind it is gilt-edged anywhere. Those who dp il in bonds are always in a scramble for it. In the latter part of the thirties the State became the backer of che Wabash & Erie canal and other improvements in the sum of 810,000,000, The canal project failed and the State paid off her portion of the bonds, but others interested in the project did not. It caused the impression to go abroad that the State was repudiating

ther

debts. Some years

ago, when some bonds drawing 8 per cent interest were due, the State credit had so far recovered thatnthe bonds were renewed at 3 per cent and the rating of the State has been of tae highest ever since."

Miss Kroat.

Harpers'Bazar: Miss M. H. Krout, the president of the American Press League, has had an experience in newspaper work that many men in that profession might envy. Beginning her working life as a school teacher, she drifted into newspaper work on the Crawfordsville, Ind., Journal, and her experience there during the unsuccessful candidature of General Harrison for the Senate was of the greatest value to her during his first Presidential campaign. At thic t'rae Miss Krout was working ov. tile Chicago Inter-Ocean, and she wi\s sent by that paper to Indiana to do the election. She accomplished this work so well that she was promised the reporting of the Hawaiian situaticu. The day..§k_ received this.^ppoiBJUa€fit-sKe made a .misstep ih leacing a car and broke her foot.

wor

six weeks she was in bed,

but at the end of that time she went to Honolulu on crutches, with her injured foot in a plaster cast. On her return she reported the World's Fair, still on crutches. During the past summer she has been abroad, and has been liberally interviewed in London, where she was regarded as a fresh and interesting specimen of American "push" and pluck.

An JSlopement.

The neighborhood round about New Market is greatly exercised over an elopement. Pendleton Ray, a very nice sort of a fellow, laid siege- to the palpitator of Lily May Clark. Lily May was all smiles and acquiesence but her family went clear back on her baptismal name and declared that Lily shouldn't. The male members of the family allowed that if "Pen" Ray came nosing around there any more that the stuffing would be extracted from him in a manner beautiful to behold. But Mr. Ray, while slightly cow-bitten, was not so verdant as he seemed and the other day stole Lily May away from home. They came hustling to Crawfordsville and were duly married. All is lovely now.

County Board of Education.

The County Board of Education met Monday and decided that the Christmas vacation should be from December 20 to December 30. Teachers will be paid for teaching Jan. 1, but need not teach unless they desire. The county institute will be held in Crawfordsville on Friday, November 29, and Saturday November 20. Those teachers attending will be allowed pay for Friday but not for Saturday.

committee was appointed to prepare a programme of exercises to be carried out in all the county schools on February 22, Washington's birthday.

Basket Social.

The Longview school gave a basket social last Friday which was a decided success from every point of view— from the squelching of the obstreperous Chub Chadwick to the voting a cake to Miss Carrie Hall as the prettiest girl. All present were highly entertained.

Unbeaten.

C. G. Guntle, of Whitesville, left this office last Saturday a suga^ that is unbeaten up to date. It over nine pounds and is tw inches ia circumference.
