A Covington Expression.

Covington Friend: Not much sur'prise was expressed when it was learned that the Montgomery county tgrand jury had indicted Dr. Stout. They were greatly worked up over the -affair in that county, and it would not ttake much evidence to find an indictment.

Clinton for Mount.

Frankfort Timss: Hon. JameB A. -Mount, of Montgomery county, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Mount has many friends in this county and will in all probability get the vote of the county at the State convention.

'Frankfort News: Hon. James A. Mount, Republican candidate for the nomination for Governor, was in the •city to-day. Mr. Mount expects and will no doubt get a solid delegation from this county as -well as the other -counties comprising his Congressional .district. v'k.

Where's Jim Fegan?

C., asking the whereabouts of James Fegan, who resided here in 1893 and who lived with James Williams at 308 sonth Washington street. J. J. Fegan, of Washington, has died and left Jim $3,000. Jim could probably use this wad in his business.

Prospective Ben-Hur Courts,

Danville, 111., Press: Representatives of the lodge of Ben-Hur have been at work organizing courts in Ridge Farm, Hoopeston and RoBsville and' they re port very satisfactory results. George Partlow, of this city, is securing mem bers for the organization at Ridge Farm. The instituting of the new courts will be done by the team of Itham&r court No. 1, of this city.

Has Bad Trouble Before.

Rockville Republican: Miss Fanny Edwards is a very successful evange -list, so far as conversions go, but from .-some reason bad feeling is often en gendered in the communities where

Bhe holds meetings. Some ill feeling was aroused at Annapolis over her work, the trouble at Raven, 111., is still fresh in the minds of the people, and now the people of Linden, the scene of her latest work, are about evenly divided in a bitter factional fight over the revival. The numerous squabbles cannot help causing one to •vi?»k himself whether or not evangelistic revivals are of real benefit.

On An Uncertain Sea.

For some days past it has been pretty generally known in the business circles of the city that C. P. Throckmorton, the real estate agent, occupied an unpleasant position, as a result of a very shady deal. The matter has been kept quiet, however, until some adjustment could be made and this has now been effected. Throckmorton by means of a bogus deed secured from Cliff Voris a loan of $1,100 for Throckmorton's mother-in-law, Mrs. Craig. Mrs. Craig signed the papers in the case but now protests that she did not understand the nature of these instruments. No one knowing the lady will doubt her statement. The truth of the matter came to Mr. Voris' knowledge very shortly after the transaction and Throckmorton was given a week to raise the money. The week expired Saturday evening and Throckmorton then had most of the money raised. Mr. Voris will loBe only about $200 and Throckmorton may not be prosecuted.

Throckmorton, it appears, is not a new hand at the bogus deed business. It has only been a few weeks ago since he obtained a loan of $250 from Fred Hoffman by a transaction not dissimilar to that by which Mr. Voris was defrauded. In the Hoffman case Throckmorton presented a deed purported to have been given his wife by her sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Brinkerhoff, of Northern Indiana. The Brinkerhoffs soon learned of the fraud, however, and appearing on the scene brought Throckmorton quickly to time. It is by no means certain that he will escape on this charge as Mr. Hoffman is still debating the question of prosecution.

In Distress.

Quite an excellent old lady of dignity and refinement, was assisted last week by Trustee Symmes. Her name was Mrs. Mary Shank, and she was on her way to Lafayette, near which place she has a sister living. Mrs, Shank several years ago sold her property in Pennsylvania and went to Phoenix, Ariz., to nurse her sick daughter. The daughter died some weeks ago and Mrs. Shank found her means exhausted. She had

E. & W., which would have taken her directly to Lafayette for the same price, sold her a ticket to Crawfordsville over the Big Four. Here she arrived with only forty-five cents, and was put to the humiliation of asking aid, which she promised to make good on Monday.

During the war Mrs. Shank lived on the battlefield of Gettysburg and when that memorable engagement occurred her home was used as a hospital and she acted as a nurse for several weeks. In her house she had as wounded soldiers several men who have since become famous: Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin, Col. Bowen, of Cold Water, Mich., and Col. Evans, of Toledo.

Here Is Good News For Hen Safferliifr From Nervous Debility, Weakened Powers and Exhausted Vigor,

Weak men suffering from nervouB debility, weakened power and exhausted vigor, can now take new hope. Here is something which will powersully interest them. It is a fact that until now sufferers have been debarred from seeking a cure by the great specialists in the»e complaints owing to the cost of travel to the large cities and the high fees charged by these eminent physicians.

Here, therefore, is a chance for weak men in our community which should not be lost. Dr. Greene, of 35 west 14th street, New York City, who has the largest practice in the world and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curiug this class of diseases, offers to give free consulta tion by mail to all weakened, -vigorless and nerve-exhausted men. Yon have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter, describing your complaint and he will, after carefully considering your condition, send you a letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails you. He will also give you his advice, baBed upon his vast experience and wonderful success in treating and curing such cases, as to just what to do to get cured. All this will cost you nothing and you can thus have consultation with the best known physician and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The Doctor is the discoverer of that greatest of medicines, Dr.

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and he has discovered many other most valuable Bpecial remedies. Write to him now for this is the chance of a lifetime to get cured which you may never have again.

For Hen of Society.

What is the use of dressing up to pay a call when that cough makes you a burden to yourself and a nuisance to your friends? Take something for it. There is nothing as good as a twentyfive cent bottle of Ely's Pineola Balsam, which is soothing to the throat and beneficial to all diseases of the throat and lungs. It will relieve the cough at once and in a few

dayB

you

will almost forget that you have had a cough.

CHANGING GOOSE NIBBLE

From a Barren Moral Waste to a Garden'of .. cihrlstlan Graces—Work of the £ast Knd Mission.

The problem of Goose Nibble seems in fair way to be solved. Policemen have failed to improve the condition of things in that neglected portion of the city, but the mission Sunday school conducted by some of the young people of First church has succeeded in making a decided impression on the people there. It has come to a point where the 14x22 store room will no longer accommodate the school, and the people of Crawfordsville will soon be asked to subscribe for a fund with which to build a frame church capable of holding about three hundred people. It will be a mission church carried on something after the manner of Hull House in Chicago. The quart shops are open every day in the week and about sixteen hours in the day. The new mission church .will be open just as many hours as the quart shops and endeavor to offset the effect of these seats of iniquity. Mrs. Lew Wallace has given a lot for the church and every citizen should consider it a great privilege to help it along with money.

Sunday evening the East End Sunday school appeared at First church. It is safe to Bay that the people who attended were treated to the best children singing which has been heard in Crawfordsville for many years. About sixty children from the mission Sunday school were present and took charge of. the singing after the choir had sung a single piece. To say that the audience was pleased would be putting it rather mildly. The singing of the boys and girls separately was commented on especially. The boys filled, the church with "At the Cross," and the girls sang "Peace, Sweet Peace" very sweetly. Altogether the school made a very favorable impression on those present, and if it appears again at a down-town church it will be greeted with a crowded house.

The first speaker of the evening, Mr. LeRoy, gave a history of the Sunday school from the beginning. A short synopsis of his speech is given herewith: "Two years ago next month a company of young people in First church banded themselves together and took for a motto, 'A church in the East End near the Junction within two years.' They worked along for eight months without much success. Finally in the latter part of November, 1894, a little store room, 13x25, was secured and a Sunday school started. The first day there were thirteen teachers and seven scholars present. By Christmas time thirty children had begun to come. This number continued to attend the Bchool during all the rest of the winter and until September of last year. At that time a system of house visitation was inaugurated, which began immediately to bear fruit in the increased attendance at the school. Since September between 500 and 700 calls have been made many people have been helped through the hard winter season much prejudice has been overcome: and a large interest has been aroused in all the southeast portion of town. At the present time there are sixty-seven chairs crowded into the little room and an attendance every Sunday of from 75 to 90. The older people at Christmas time came to the teachers and asked that there might be an evening meeting arranged for them. Every Sunday evening since then there has been an attendance of from 60 to 90 people. LaBt Sunday night the room was crowded and several young men were turned away for want of room."

Mr. LeRoy, in the course of his speech, gave Mrs. M. Mclntyre special praise for her earnest labor in carrying the work through its most dis couraging period.

Mr. Schmitt,.after two rousing Bongs by the school, presented the needs and opportunities of the work. He spoke in part as follows:

The part of the town where the school is situated is neglected in more ways than one. The streets are illkept, there are no shade trees nor walks, and on the whole does not compare favorably with a down-town street. More than the just amount of cruel criticism has been heaped upon the people. The teachers who have been working in the school have found them to be, in kindness and- good will, far above what they have heretofore been reported. They have received us kindly into their houses and have encouraged us in our work by sending their children to the Sunday schoolthrough mud often shoe-top deep. "On account of the growth of the school and the increasing attendance at the evening services, it has become imperative that we should secure more. room. The critical time has come and it lieB with the people of Crawfordsville as to -whether this work shall be given opportunity to increase or shall be allowed to die for lack of room to be carried on."

In closing Mr. Schmitt sang a very appropriate song. Dr. Thomson then made a very earnest plea for this work. The service.closed with a song by the children

The Kenult In Clinton.

'The Times, the independant paper of Frankfort, speaking of the election of delegates in Clinton county to the Republican Congressional convention sayB:

The Republican political breezes of Clinton county blew hard Saturday and Saturday night, and they headed straight for the congressional harbor of Carroll county's candidate.

At a late hour last night there remained a few townships yet to hear from, but the preferences of their delegates is generally conceded. From the figures at hand the Landis men claim thirty-one of the thirty-six delegates and conceded five to Tucker, although some of them say one of the five votes accredited to Tucker will go for Harrison.

It' these claims are true, and there seems but little grounds upon which to question them, the' indications are strong that Landis will be nominated. The eyes of the district have been focused upon Clinton, with the feeling that without a candidate of her own, should her vote be largely for any one of the contestants, it would go a long way toward settling the contest. This result has happened, hence the conclusion that Landis has been greatly strengthened.

Indiana Peach Crop a Failure.

It is said that there will be no peaches in this section of the State this year. The fact that there may be no peaches is not discouraging to farmers for this is a crop which is never depended upon. It is only occasionally that peach trees bear the rich lucious fruit in this part of Indiana. It is yet too early to advance anything definite in regard to the probable outlook for other tree crops, such as apples, cherries, pears, etc. But these will undoubtedly suffer from the ravages of winter and the unfavorable conditions which are likely to prevail from now until May.

INDIGESTION is often taken for con sumption. The word consumption means wasting away, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as con sumptives.

The reason people waste away is be cause either they don't get enough to eat, or they don't digest what they eat.

If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh.

Shaker' Digestive Cordial iB made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the well known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers.

Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspeptics), by simply helping their stomachs to digest their food, thus giving them nourishment and new strength.

Sold by druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents.
