HANDS OFF.
Mr,
Nloliolnon, of Temperance Witnta lo Live ami Let Live,
Funic,
Indianapolis Sentinel: S. E. Nicholson, of Kolcomo, author of the Nicholson liquor law and member-elect of the legislature, is in the city. Mr. Nicholson says he is an active candididate for speaker of the 'house and will try to be elected. "Do yon anticipate any liquor legislation in the next legislature'.'" he was asked. "None that I know of now, said he. "I do not believe in having the laws changed every two years, and while there are a few things in the law now in force which I might change, still they are so unimportant that I would prefer to have the law as it is." 'j "It has been said that you intended to recommend changes providing for the enforcement of the law by the officials, and also providing a clause to prevent the withdrawal of names from •.••a remonstrance." "I know nothing of such changes being proprosed. The ollicials are now sworn to see that the law is enforced, and the Supreme Court has decided that names cannot be withdrawn from a remonstrance after it has been filed.
It seems to me that is all that is necessary so far as those two points are concerned." "Do you think there will be an effort on the part of the Liquor League to have the law repealed?" "There may be some effort upon the part of the other side to have the law changed somewhat, but I do not think there wili be any effort to have it repealed. I have not heard of any as yet. There iB one thing sure: If those fellows start a fight they must expect to abide by the result and be content with what they get. The influence which was back of me two years ago is stronger and better organized to-day than ever before. It has not been idle during the past two years, and would be more quickly available now than it was two years ago. It is ready to act at any time."
MOVING AGAINST CLODFELTER.
The l'lkea'In Grant Connty Left In :i Deiplorsble Condition.
"A special from Marion says. "The Tboard of commissions of Grant county are going after Noah J. Clodfelter, the projector of the Marion, Alexandria, Anderson and Indianapolis electric lines with a sharp stick. The grudge the commissioners have against him is the deplorable condition in which he has left some of the pines in this county, over which he was given the right-of-way for his road. He promised that 'his line should be in operation before the snow fell. Not only will this promise be not fulfilled, but here the indications are that the enterprise is dead. Not a lick has been struck since Barly early in the summer, when the graders quit work because tli?y were not paid. The work being suspended, has left the pikes in this and other counties over which the lines would run in a condition that it would take thousands of dollars'to repair. The commissioners here had the matter "under consideration last Saturday, •with the result that County Attorney
Hiram Brownlee was directed to notify Clodfelier that if he did not immediately put the public highways of the counties in as good condition as he found them, suit will be entered on liis bond.
Done Gone and Left Us.
Prank fort C'rcsccnt: W. T. Uutcher, -of Grawfordsville, has moved here and will engage in the clothes dying business on East Clinton street, east of Coulter House, in the room formerly occupied by "Yank" Whittaker. The latter has moved his plumbing shop ones door west.

THE WINTER GAS SUPPLY.
ItoBumiitlon of Factories Will Not Le««en the
Gr8»
A special from Kokomo says: "State Natural Gas Inspector, J. C. Leach, of this city, has just completed a number of tests of wells in various parts of the natural gas era of Indiana and inspecting plants with the view of preventing leakage and waste of the fuel, Prof. Leach found the wells all showing up strongly and bearing evidence of satisfactory service the coming winter, Very few additional wells have been drilled this fall, he says, the mild weather of the past seasons and the closing down of numerous factories on account of dull times having reduced the normal consumption of gas fuel to a point that obviates the neces sity of sinking other wells to strength en the winter service, as has been the case heretofore. The general resump tion of operations of the factories of the gas belt, Mr. Leach says, should not visibly affect the supply of gas. Nearly all the larger industries have their own gas plants and the supply to private consumers will not be endangered by the heavy drain by the mills and factories. The domestic supply comes from separate systems Factory wells have been given a good rest in most cases and are in condition to stand the heavy draft, though continuous operation will necessitate the drilling of additional wells in the near future. Professor Leach thinks that a severely cold winter may tax pipe line systems to sheir full capacity in some towns and he will not be surprised to hear of a shortage of the gas supply in those places. This is the eleventh winter of natural gas in Indiana and the product has lasted beyond general expectations. Prof. Leach says that several hundred square miles of fertile territory yet remain untouched by the drill
The Setting of Milk.
Newspaper Bulletin No. 38, Nov. 20, 1890.—A very largetshare of the milk skimmed for private butter making in Indiana, is set in cans or crocks and the cream skimmed from the surface.
Milk may be set for cream in various kinds of vessels and under different conditions. The poorest method is to set in shallow tin pans or crocks on pantry shelves or in a cellar. Milk thus set is exposed to a greater air contact than when set otherwise, and so is more liable to be affected by injurious or dors, by diseases transmitted through the atmosphere, and by heat and cold. Milk so set will oftentimes rapidly sour, or in very cold weather may freeze. If it sours badly in
Bum
mer, when skimmed, curs will be likely to get in the cream and remain more or less in the butter, after churning, forming white spots, thereby seriously injuring the quality of the butter. Or, if the milk or cream freezes, an inferior grade of abutter will be made from it.
If cream is to be secured by setting milk, the best plan will be to set the milk in round tin cans, about 18 inches deep and 8 inches in diameter. If the can is placed in ice water or cold spring water, to the height of the milk in the can, the condition for cream separation will be greatly improved, especially if inside a refrigerator or creamer. This method helps keep the milk at a uniform temperature and enables the cream to rise to best advantage. ouch cans as these, open at the top, are commonly known as "shot gun" cans, and may be bought of dairy supply houses or can be made by any good tinner.
These deep cans are skimmed in one of two ways—either by a conical skimmer from the surface or by means of a faucet or valve at the bottom of the can, where the 6kim-milk is drawn off. In experiments at the Indiana station, in comparing these two methods of skimming, where the milk was skimmed from above, there was an average loss about twice as great as in that skimmed by drawing off from below. OuriDg 15 days in February tne average loss from surface skimming was 0 :i4 per cent., while that skimmed from below showed a loss of but 0.17 per cent.
It is important that milk should be set only in tin vessels of good quality The cheap tin sold on five and ten cent counters, is so' thin a wash that it is readily corroded to the under metal, which gives a ruinous llavor to the milk if it sours in the vessel at all. Where used for holding milk, the tin should be of XX grade. This is more durable, stiffer and less affected by the acid in sour milk.
In general, persons striving to make a fine quality of butter, should have a cabinet creamer. In this the milk may be kept to best advantage and pioperly protected from objectionable odors and dirt. C. S. Pi.i'.un,
Director.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Special to the Journal.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov.
24.—In a lonely
locality in the south part of the city at daybreak this morning newsboy found two people dead on the sidewalk. One. a man, supposed to be named Myers, had a ghastly pistol shot wound in his heart.

The neighbors said they thought they heard shots early in the morning.

SIGNATURES.
Ilelng Secured to the Two-Cent Kate Petitions—The Fight Aealnst It.
The various committees having in charge the petitions to the legislature asking for a bill to establish a twocent fare in this State are getting many signatures. The railroads are making arrangements to resist such a law and the labor organizations on the railroads will alsc fight it. Last session the Order of Railroad Conductors had seven members lobbying against such a bill, and the Brotherhood of Engineers also sent a committee. With the mileage book in use the rate is two cents a mile or less. But on short hauls between local stations the railroads get full three cents, and this is the reason they are fighting it. The railroads assert that there are many members of both houses- who are interested in the railroad affairs and that such a bill will not be passed.

GIRLS IN STORES,
offices, or factories, are peculiarlj liable to female diseases, especially those who are constantly on their feet. Often they are unable to perform their duties, their suffering is so intense.
When the first symptoms present themselves, such as backache, pains in groins, headache, dizziness, faintness, swelled feet, blues, etc., they
should at once write Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass., stating symptoms she will tell them exactly what to do, and in the meantime they will find prompt relief in Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound, which can be obtained from any druggist. "MY DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :—I am EO grateful to you for what your Compound has done for me. For four years I suffered such pains from ovarian trouble, wliicli caused dreadful weakness of the limbs, tenderness and burning pain in the groins, pain when standing or walking, and increased pain during menstruation, headache and leucorrhoea. I weighed only 93 pounds, and was advised to use your Vegetable Compound, which I did. I felt the benefit before I had taken all of one bottle. I continued using it, and it has entirely cured me. I have not been troubled with leucorrhoea for months, and now I weigh 115 pounds." —LLLLIE HARTSON, Flushing, Genesee Co.. Michigan. Box 69.
