The Holiday Trade,
"Now for a grand and liberal holiday season. Merchandise is cheap a little money will go a long way. People who have money to spare can render no better service to business than to patronise our retail establishments that deal in holiday articles.

The committee from the city council met with the County Commissioners Tuesday to argue the propriety of the Commissioners paying the county's -share of the cost of construction of the Wabash avenue bridge. The Commissioners will not decide the question until their regular session next week.
Properly Fined.
Jim McNellis, charged with having cursed his wife in public, was up before Mayor Bandel Tuesday and entered a plea of guilty, expressing great contrition. Contrition didn't prove legal tender in that court, however, and the wicked and profane Jim was forced to cough up coin to the extent of $10.40.

Kxpeusivtt Spoouiutr*
The case against Henry Wray for trifling with the affections of Miss Eva Stonebreker was called Tuesday in the Circuit Court. Handsome Henry was present, and with the sentimental smile of a corralled opposum, coyly acknowledged that he "had been sort 'er trifiin' around like." With this gentlemanly acknowledgement before the court there was no need for trial and the Judge promptly chalked up judgment against the erring beau .in the sum of S300.

THE RABBIT ESCAPED.
But Eltlrertfij© Rarrifi Wad Not So Fortunate and lteceivtl Ugly Wounds.
Eldredge Harris, an Indianapolis youth who has been employed here at Bige Bayless' livery stable, met with a very serious accident Tuesday. He went hunting and when several miles north of the city succeeded in jumping a rabbit. The hunter quickly took aim and blazed away. The gun, however, had been too heavily loaded and burst in the boy's hands. How he escaped with his life is a wonder but he did. Not without injuries though for several fragments struck him inllicting serious and painful wounds. He received several ugly gashes in the head and a small artery was severed there. His hands were torn and his clothing cut. A passing farmer found the boy in his sad plight and hurriedly drove with him to town. Harris narrowly escaped death from bleeding. Dr. Ensminger, however, by hard work succeeded in stopping the How of blood and the boy will doubtless recover.
THE SOLDIERS' HOME.
An Institution for Which Kvery Old Soldier Should Feel Grateful and Every Citizen of the State Feel Prond.
To the Editor of The Journal. I write thinking some of the JOURNAL readers may like to hear of a visit to the Indiana State Soldiers' Home at Lafayette. Arriving at the depot we wended our way westward, crossing the river then bearing to the north by what is called the River Road, a beautiful drive of four miles, bounded by the peaceful old Wabash on your right while on your left rises rugged hills abounding in huge forest trees, the gravel road stretching away like a broad buff ribbon. The first thing of interest is the pump house situated a quarter of a mile below the home. There is a fine little brick building where the water is forced up the hill to the home. Passing on you soon 6trike the trail. There is the wigwams, teepees and lovely fountains and the Indian war relic building, said to contain all the different kinds of implements used by the Indians in the war. There you strike on your left the hill road leading up to the home, a very picturesque winding road. Reaching the top the first building is the public dining restaurant, now closed. Next is the Adjutant's building, a large two story brick, building where you will find headquarters. There you will find Col. McGraw, Capt. Havens, Mr. Baker and Miss Maxwell, the bookkeeper. On to. the south is the Commissary or storage building. WeBt of this iB the Old people's building, a large two story building with abroad sidewalk lead ing on to the west to the dining hall, a massive brick building including dining room, kitchen and cold storage room on first lloor, with the widow's home above. The great kitchen is a wonderland. Two professionals, a cook and baker, oversee this department there the mammoth vats are constructed, and the cooking is done by steam, while stationed in one corner are the pancake griddles heated by electricity. The silver mounted coffee urn, holding 40 gallons of coffee made full twice a day, stands by the tea -urn holding 30 gallons of tea, made full every evening. They have an individual'-heating apparatus. The large sinks for dish washing would do credit to some bath tubs. The large dining room contains 30 tables, each seating ten persons. The waiters are soldiers hired from the camp and the provisions are plenty and wholesome. They cook seven hams, one barrel of potatoes, and other things in proportion for one meal twelve pounds of coffee in a day. The buildings and g/ounds are lighted with electric lights which gives the place the appearance of a city after night. One large brick building contains the laun dry and electric light plant, while to the southeast is the large brick
Hospital, finished with every modern convenience one could mention, and each cottage and large frame building are furnished likewise. The Tippecanoe building contains a large reading room, filled with large arm chairs, rockers and couch. Each building is supplied with bath room, toilet room, and water closet. There are already seventeen cottages and nine large houses and the ground is broken and staked for seven more cottages. It is a grand, growing institution where the worn out old soldiers may seek rest and find it, and take with them their faithful wives who stoo 1 by them and suffered untold agonies at home while the boys were out in the field or in camp waiting, waiting, waiting ready to go at a moment's warning, to fight and face death, for their country and homes. Let us all unite in 6aying God bless the Soldiers' Home.

Miss Carrie V. Krout left Tuesday noon for New York City where she will surprise her sister, Miss Mary Krout upon her return* from London Eng., by meeting her at the landing The latter will arrive in this country on Friday at 1 p. m. should the voyage be made without mishap.,

An Interesting Decision.
The Appellate Court Tuesday de cided that the laws do not authorize the impounding of cattle or other stock which are found grazing in a public highway, in charge of a boy employed to herd them. The opinion of Judge Reinhard says: "It may seem difficult to understand why the supervisor should not have as much authority for impounding stock which is being pastured in the public highways as a private citizen has to take up animals found pasturing upon the private commons. But it does not appear that the Legislature has confe red such power upon road super visors or other persons, and it is not our province to read such authority into the statute. The remedy must be sought in appropriate legislation."
Death of Charles lteid.
Charles Reid, son of Samuel and Jennie Paddock, died at Darlington, Nov. 27, 1890, aged seven months and ten days. When we pass through a garden we always express a wish to pluck the delicate rose, beautiful and lovely flower. So it seems that God sometimes takes the ones most like Him, but we know that although He wounds He is able to bind up, and He who in His love and mercy gives to us He also takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Services were held at Friends church in Darlington, Rev, David Hadley preaching a very appropriate discourse, assisted by Rev llayle and F. S. Quigg. Interment at Odd Fellows' cemetery.
A Strong Case.
Word comes from Covington that the State is putting up a very strong case against Barney Ro'oards. It is thought that the jury will ask Barney to dance on thin air until out of breath.
Woman's Diseases
Are as peculiar as unavoidable, and cannot be discussed or treated as we do thOBO to which the entire human family is subject. Menstruation sustains such important relations to her health, that when Suppressed Jrregular or Painful, she soon becomes languid, nervous and irritable, the bloom leaves her cheek and vory grave complications arise unless regularity and vigor is restored to these organs.

IT EBBS AND FLOWS.
Some Natural Gas Pheno tin Which Scientists Cannot Undcreinixl.
A representative of the.IOUKNAI, met a local official of the Natural Gas Company last Tuesday and casually asked if Crawfordsville's supply of gas this winter would be all that would be required. Said he in reply: "No one can tell. It may and it may not be. I think, however, that a week of ten degrees below zero weather would knock the supply into a cocked hat, and I know that I am prepared for such an emergency by having on hand a supply of both wood and coal. There is something about the 1low of natural gas that is inexplicable and all the scientists in the country cannot explain it. The
tsupply
will ebb and
flow and there is no reason that can be given. Often in warm weather when there is scarcely any drain the supply will go away down, and then in bitterly cold weather sometimes it comes welling up it, grateful force. Of course these conditions are sometimes unpleasantly reversed. Now today, when the drain was greater than on Monday the pressure was over three pounds greater and we had plenty of gas. Still the wise man should be prepared for anything. Suppose for instance we had a January fresh which should break our line at Walnut Fork as it did last July and then after this break that a hard freeze should come in a few hours. It might be two weeks before repairs could be effected, and during this delightful period I fancy the man who had other fuel on hand would be the man who would be in it."
TREVARRIAN TAPPED
For One Cent Because He Accnssd Kd Cook of Kloplng With His Chester White Sow.
If the jury in the Cook vs.«Royer case had given the plaintiff'just 84,999.99 more than it did, the plaintiff would have been awarded all he asked, and the wicked charge that he stole, killed and salted down the Chester White sow of Trevarrian Royer would have been laid to rest alongiwith the bones and bristles of the mysteriously missing porker. After wrestling with the momentous issue for six hours the jury returned a sealed verdict Tuesday evening and it was opened Wedres day in court. It gave Mr. Cook damages in the sum of one cent—the hundredth part of a dollar, the purchasing price of a stick of chewing gum or a postal card. The costs, however, amount to over 8125 and Trevarrian will have these to pay.
