FEIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1807.
PROSPERITY is coming' down the pike '.••on a thumping trot.
THE schcls of the country have opened, and T^bori*" -oncedes that the crop of chli .n leads the procession.
Ton WATSON says all the silver men will have to join the Populist forces. He thinks the Democrats are going to heave over the lG-to-1 theory altogether.'
IT took four pounds of wool to buy one ounce of silver a year Bgo. Now it takes but a littie over two pounds. Even wool refuses to travel hand in hand with silver.
THE President of the New York Board of Health says the clean streets and better sanitary regulations in that city have saved 18,000 lives, iand he gives the statistics to prove it.
ADVICES from abroad show that the '•'foreign rye crop is as badly off as the wheat crop, and as rye is largely used for bread in European countries, this development indicates a still greater demand for American wheat.
LAST year Montgomery county farmers raised 12,473 horses, 050 mules, 7,12S milk cows, 10,792 other cattle, and 95,077 swine. They lost 400 horses by death, 20 mules, and 27,21S hogs, the latter mostly by cholera.
ELECTRIC railway equipments have been ordered from this country in Dublin, Bristol, Coventry and several Australian cities, as well as London. Our inventors and skilled workers in this field are apparently without any rivalry in the world.
Will Orator Bryan address his Ohio audience at the proposed free-silver camp meeting in Spanish? They ought to have some sort of a novelty to make it worth the $1,500 which it is said McLean and Chapman have been obliged to guarantee to get him there.
WITH several ship loads of gold coming in at the Western ports from Klondike, others from Australia, and many more coming in at the East, in payment for their golden grain, the farmers are not spending much time "listening to free silver speeches this faU.
THE National Farmers' Congress re jected a free silver resolution on the very day that Nebraska conventions adopted one. ^ut, of course, the Nebraska conventions were field for that purpose, while the Farmers' Congress represented the mass of farmers without reference to party organization.
MR. BRYAN is still harping on "intimidation." He was sure that it was this that caused workingmon to wear McKinley buttons last fall, and now he says that it is last year's threats of foreclosure that led the farmer to hustle and pay off his mortgages. However, he must have something to talk about.
A COMMITTEE of the town board of Irvington recently visited Greencastle to inspect broken stone and screenings and reported that it lound such broken stone better and cheaper than gravel for street improvement. Of course the committee recommended the use of the same in future improvements. It would not be out of place for the board of public improvements in this city to make a similar investigation. Anything that is better and cheaper than the gravel now used should be substituted.
FEW communities realize the importance of cleaning up the streets and alleyB and keeping them clean. Yellow fever and cholera are not the only diseases that feed on filth. Their visits are infrequent, but there are other maladies of a similar origin that are seldom absent from cities, and their victims in the long run outnumber those of the panic-dealing plagues. The president of the New York Board of Health reports that the cleaner streets of that city have reduced the death rate from 27.3 per thousand in 1893 to 20.2 in 1897. This represents a saving of 18,000 lives. People should bear in mind that there are other diseases to be prevented than those of a contagious and sensational nature. Sanitary reasons require that a city shall always be kept clean.
SPECULATIONS as to the political complexion of the United States during the last half of the McKinley administration are already begun to be made by the press of the country, and the consensus of opinion is that the Republicans will'have absolute control of that body after March 4, 1899 Of the thirty-one seats in the Senate to be filled before March 4, 1899, eleven are now held by Republicans, fifteen by siver Democrats, two by Populists, two by Silverites and one by a Sound Money Democrat. One Silver Democrat, Mr. Money, has already been elected in Mississippi to succeed Mr. George, and Silver Democrats are pretty certain to be chosen in Tennessee, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, South Carolina and Florida. These accessions would raise the conceded strength of the Silver Democrats in the Senate of 1899-1901 to twenty-five. Republicans are equally certain to bereturnea from Rhode Island, Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and Pennsylvania. These re-elections would increase the Republican vote after March 4, 1899, to forty. Mr. Stewart, Populist, is likely to succeed himself in Nevada, and Mr. Mantle and Mr. Cannon, Silverites, may be returned from Montana and Utah Mr. Hanna's success this fall in Ohio is now practically assured, raising the prospective Republican total to forty-one, and there is ample reason to believe that Republicans will shortly replace Democrats in the Senate from the States of New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Wisconsin, North Dakota, California, Maryland and West Virginia. The gain of these eight votes would assure Republican control iu the Senate by a liberal margin.
A BIG bucket shop in Chicago has closed its doors, failing for an amount estimated all the way from §100,000 to 81,000,000. This shop did business all over the West, had 2,000 miles of leased wire, over which it communicated with 180 correspondents. Wherever these wires run there will be found sufferers from the failure. It is known that it must have had an immense amount of margins on its hands, besides a deposit ranging from §2,000 to S10.000 from each of its correspoadets. That all this money can vanish without producing immenso suffering somewhere is impossible, but it is in the quiet villages and on the humble farms scattered around the country and not among the better posted kiters and high flyers of the metropolis. The bucket shops of Chicago thrive on the suckers from the country.
WHILE the fight in New York relates to the mayorality, it is for a first mayor of the second largest city in the world, and to determine whether or not Tammany shall control Greater New York. And if that splendidly managed political party doe6 get control of that great organization, it greatly endangers Republican prospects in the entire State, indefinitely. So it is probable that the Republican party in New York city will decide to support Set-h Low, nominated by the "Citizens'" organization. For, unless all those opposed to Tammany and free silver combine on one man, they cannot win. By refusing to so unite they give Greater New York, and probably New York State, over to the Tammany silver Democracy indefinitely.
THE burden of Mr. Bryan's syndicate article seems to be, as nearly as can be made out by careful reading, that the world needs more money. Yet nearly three billions of silver and four billions of gold money have been coined by the mints of the world since 1S73, and while a small part of this consists of recoinage, it is perfectly clear that the metallic money of the world has much more than doubled in that time, since the best estimates now put the total money of the world at less than nine billions, about equally, divided between the two meta's. And since the United States has more money per capita than almost any other country, more money in the banks now awaiting investment than ever, why call for more?
FROM Ohio comes word that the Democrats are trying to run away from their platform, made only two months ago. This is not surprising, for silver has fallen 15 per cent in value even in that short time. On July 10 one ounce of silver was wflrth in New York 00 0 cents. No wonder that they are ashamed of their platform and want to get away from it when in two months after its enunciation the metal which it advocates as money falls 15 per cent in value. That the Republicans of the State will not let them get away from it goes without saying—if they are wise. That they will sweep the State now that they have the enemy on the run also goes without saying—if they are not too confident.
THIS year Montgomery county has 32.3G0 acres of corn, exceeded only by Tippecanoe, Benton and White, each with a little over 100,000 acres. Montgomery county, therefore, stands fourth in the list of the corn counties of the State. This is followed by Boone with 77,570, Clinton with 70,401, and Newton with 70,228 acres.
THE statistics of all large cities show that the cleaner the streets are kept the lower the death rate will be, and the difference is surprisingly large when reduced to figures. What is true of large cities is relatively true of smaller cities. Not only should the streets be kept clean but the back yards and alleys should receive similar attention. There is enough' filth in the back yards of this town to kill off half the population. The disposal of garbage has become a serious question. Scientists' have advanced the theory that if the garbage of a town or city were properly utilized it could be made to furnish all the fuel necessary for their comfort, both for heating and cooking. At any rate it is high time this city should take some steps to dispose of the household wastes in a sanitary way. If it is not done an epidemic of some kind of disease will sweep through the city.
THE killing of twenty-two strimng miners and the wounding of scores of others last week near Hazel ton, Penn., by deputy sheriffs can be characterized in no other terms than brutal murder. The shooting was done without provocation. And even had there been provocation the sheriff was not justifiable in ordering his deputies to fire on an unarmed band of marching men, ignorant of the meaning of the "riot act" which he read to them. It is very evident that the sheriff was not the man for the occasion. Had he been equal to the emergency there would have been no loss of life and the State saved a lasting disgrace.
SENATOR TELLER gives it as his opinion that the rapidly increasing production of gold will have no effect upon the free silver agitation. No matter how much gold is produced, the demand for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 will be just as insistent. When a man makes a subjcct hi6 hobby he seems to lose the power of discrimination, and the silver people appear to have lost all sense of the relations of their favorite metal to other property. They 6eem to view it not as a metal but as a being, as though it was a member of the royal family to which they owe blind allegiance.
Weekly Crop ISulietin.
No rain fell anywhere in inaiana during the week. The nights were cool, but the days were very hot Corn ripened and dried fast most is safe from frost now early planted corn is being cut and put in 6hock because of so much dry and warm weather just when rain was needed, late planted corn will yield a lighter crop. Much of the tobacco has been housed, but some has been "fired." Buckwheat is a fair crop cutting has begun in the central portion in some fields it did not fill well on account of the hot, dry weather. Millet is being cut and threshed. Beans are beginning

en and are in fair condition. Potatoes are poor they are little, with but few in a hill. Sweet potatoes are not in good condition, except in the northern portion where there are some good fields. Tomatoes are ripening, but the crop is not so good or abundant as last year. Cabbages are drying up, and worms injured them much. Garden truck is drying up much. Apples are still a fair crop in'many orchards, and, in localities of the southern portion, there are many good peaches. Turnips are coming up badly. Early-sown rye and wheat are coming up in some fields. Plowing is much delayed the ground is too hard and dry, and but little seeding has been done, as the farmers are waiting for rain. Clover hulling continues everywhere, yielding good seed. Pasturage is dry and stock water scarce, and stock is being fed on many farms. 1 I ,~

The Lafayette Journal speaking of the new pastor of Trinity M. E. church says: "Rev. H. L. Davis was given a very desirable charge at Crawfordsville. Mr. Davis was one of the most popular pastors that Congress 6treet has ever had. He came to the church a young man and almost without experience, but his fine social qualities, his energy, and his ability quickly challenged the admiration of the congregation, and the members of the church rallied to his support and encouragement. During a portion of his pastorate his work was hindered by ill health, but his indomitable spirit overcame that obstacle, and he continued in his work with marked success. He remained with the church as long as conference would permit, and his congregation would have been pleased to see him remain much longer. The people of his new charge will find him an earnest and sinccre Christian gentleman, a man who is worthy of their highest respect and confidence. In leaving the city for his new field of labor he will carry with him the best wishes, not only of his congregation, but those of a large number of people who are not members of his church."

William Murdoclc, tlie country lad charged with having robbed Sam Langdon, the Lafayette blacksmith, here last week, has furnished the necessary S500 boad and has been released from jail.

PORT ARTHUR STORM
Half the Town Reported Demolished
by the Recent Hurricane.
PEOPLE ARE PANIC STRICKEN
Four Drowned and Five Killed—Many Miraculous Kscapes—Several Injnrcd at Winnie, a Nearby Town—Kiglit Allies of Railway Washed Out—Damage to
Crops Is Terrible.
GALVESTON, Sept. 15.—Laterandmore accurate reports received from points in the storm belt show that the reports that reached Galveston were greatly exaggerated. At Sabino Pass the following are reported as drowned: Captain Greene Moore, Captain L. L. Bettis, Captain George Wolford and -Engineer William Ratcliff. These men were all on vessels which were sunk and have not been accounted for, and they are believed to have been drowned.
Alung the Gulf and Interstate railway •several were injured, but none were killed. At Winnie, George Barber was badiy cut about tho knees and wrist Maud Williams had her l'eet and hands Injured Mrs. Barber's limbs were severely injured and people in the vicinity of Winnie were generally injured, but uone killed.
Port Arthur suffered the brunt of tho blast and half of the town is estimated to have boon destroyed or badly injured. The wind came up about -1 o'clock and rapidly increased iu violence, blowing i'rom the south and gradually working into the east. A number of people sought shelter from the storm in ,tho roundhouse of the railroad and several were severely injured and two killed. Under a restaurant, a small frame structure, three more bodies were found. The wind blew with hurricane force about two hours. There were many miraculous escapes and those who-were killed were caught under the ruins of the roundhouse and the small restaurant.
At Sabine Pass the greatest damago was done and the only loss of life was among the shipping. There was no loss of lite in either old or new Sabine proper.
The tugs Fannine, Guillote and John P. Smith were sunk and the Norwegian steauisliip Ceres, 800, tons was torn from her moorings at the whan and blown live miles north where she grounded in a few l'eet of water. When she parted her lines the captain and crew escaped ashore and the vessel was lett to tho caprice of the wind.
At the new town several residences were blown l'ront their foundations and all hastily constructed buildings were demolished. No one in the town was seriously injured, the casualty being confined to the shipping. Eight miles of the Texas and Sabine railway north of Sabine Pass is washed away. Twentyfive hundred l'eet of the export pier at Port Arthur is destroyed and the people of that town are so terror stricken that they are leaving it as fast as t-hey can get away.
The damage in the country to buildings and crops is severe. The losses to the l'aamers in Jefferson county alone will approximate $150,000. which they would have had in hand within 80 days had the storm been delayed that long, but now the crops are completely ruined.
Hurrying Mie Dead.
HOUSTON, Sept. 15.—The funoral train bearing the bodies of the victims of the Port Aithur lnirricaue were taken to Beaumont late yesterday where they were interred, livery business house iu the city was closed and nearly the entire population turned out and joined the eavaicade to the cemetery.
.•••' SMALL RIOT.
Miners Stoned and Shots Fired—Ono Man Will I'rolmbly Die. PITTSHL'K'.I, Sept. 15.—The Darr mine .on tlie Youghiogheny river, operated by
Osborne & Saeger, of Cleveland, O., was the scene of a riot yesterday which will probably result in the death of at leas one man. The machine miners started to work on Monday and yesterday a mob of diggers, who were opposed to the men working, gathered at the pit to give tho workers a hot reception when they came out of the mine. As the miners began coming out they were stoned back into the pit and several shots were fired into the pit mouth after tho retreating men. One man whose name cannot be learned, more daring than the rest, ventured into tho opening and was stoned unmeroifully. He wiil probably die from the effects of the abuse.

my life. I feel like anew person, perfectly strong. I give the Compound all the credit. I have recommended it to several of my friends who are using* it with like results.
