Real Vanilla Is Scarce.

Much of that sold is entirely artificial, being made from a coal tar product. Some is composed largely of tonka bean. Tonka costs about one-sixth as much as vanilla. It is a first rate tobacco flavor but is not fit fci? food. Careful housewives should avoid this. If you buy our vanilla you are perfectly safe. It id just what we say—Extract Vanilla. It is that and only that-nothing more, nothing less. Our vanilla is allowed to age. This imparts to it a rare and peculiar delicacy obtainable in no other way. We use no tonka. We'd make it better if we could. Your friends,

A GOOD PLAN.

A11 i:n)il to Secure tlie Nominalion of liiiteil Slates Senator l$y tin' ltepiihlleau Statu Convention.

Indianapolis News: There is a demand on tbe part of many Republicans that the State convention next year nominate a caudidatc for United States Senator. At this time the friends of Lew Wallace are foremost in the agitation, but it is understood that friends of the other candidates do not look upon the proposition with disfavor. The politicians say that Wallace'would probably have the advantage before a State convention, as it would be possible to rally a good deal of sentiment about his candidacy. "If the convention should happen to be made up largely of veterans," said a Republican, -'Wallace would be likely to carry oil the nomination." The Indianapolis friends of Robert S. Taylor, of Ft. Wayue, while they have no expression from him on the subject, are inclined to believe that he will be willing to enter into an agreement that the contest shall be settled by the State convention. J. Frank Hanley's supporters, it is said, would prefer that the subject be kept out of the State convention,

In support of the proposition that the State convention nominate the candidate for Senator, it is asserted that tbe nomination of a candidate for the oflice would add strength to the ticket in an "oil year" campaign. It is the experience of the older politicians that to have a senatorial contest pending within a party during a State campaign is always more or less embarrassing: not infrequently the party is divided into cliques, and it is impossible to get faithful service out of the "workers." Indiana never has picked a candidate for Senator in State convention, and the politicians declare that next year will be a good time to try the plan. The impression is that if the Republicans should take the step, the Democrats would follow, and that the campaign would be made doubly interesting by having the two candidates for Senator in the field. "It is the nearest we can approach election of a Senator by the people at this time," said a Republican, "and I believe the plan would meet the indorsement of nearly everybody."

In discussing the proposed plan, it is noted that the Legislature would not be bound to nominate and elect the man nominated in State convention but the representatives of the party say that any body of meu would be bound in honor to respect the choice made in State convention.

A WALLACE ELOPEMENT.

Cupid I.anvils AKIIIII, Wliile Two Hearts .r- j-iai'i nil Happy in Spite of I'arenial Disapproval.

"There's never a puzzle in life so hard but love will (ind the way," runs the song, and the trnth of the statement has just been explified for the 'steon millionth time, by an affair which culminated down in the prosaic little burg of Waynetown. Mr. Karl Wilkinson, of Wallace, and Miss LUlie Livengood, daughter of Mr. Tiee Livengood, who resides seven miles southwest of Waynetown, were lovers, deeply, earnestly, mutually and reciprocally.

Their union, however, was strenuously opposed by the young woman's father, but as to his reasons therefor, report sayetli not. But, as stated above, when it come to a contest between love and anything else, love generally wins, and BO it was in this case. Last Wednesday Mr. Wilkinson procured a marriage license, and that night hitched up his horse and buggy, put a ten foot ladder in the back end, drove to the neighborhood of his sweetheart's home, hitched tbe horse to a weeping willow tree, and just us the clock struck 12, placed the ladder up to his girl's window. She was waiting, she descended, how, can not be learned, they entered the buggy, drove to Waynetown, woke up Rev. Loucks, stated their errand, were married and it was all over. The young woman's parents, when they learned the fact6, were naturally surprised and somewhat exasperated, but soon took took a philosophical, if not a pleased view of the matter. The newly married couple are now residing near Wallace. Mr. Wilkinson is one of the leading merchants of that place, and is spoken of as a young man of excellent character and ability. The bride is twenty years old and a most worthy young woman Their friends join in wishing and trusting that their married life will be as happy as its beginning was romantic.

BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN

l!fk.s])oit»ililiiav For Typhoid Fever and Hoj* Cholera.

The bullstin of the State Board of Health for the quarter ending September 30 deals with two important matters. It scores the public in general and health officers in particular for the great loss which occurs every year on account of hog cholera and typhoid fever. The claim is made that these diseases can be pi evented and practically wiped out of the State. They come exclusively from the water used and the advice is given that hogs be given nothing but well water and-tliat water used by people be boiled before using. -s

The bulletin takes the physicians of the Staie to task for failing to report deaths. The bulletin presumes that this is because the physicians are willing to become violators of the law rather than admit that patients die in their charge. Ou this subject the bulletin says: "Compared with the quarter ending March 31st, this quarter shows 107 fewer deaths. Diphtheria deaths decreased 112 cases decrease 3GrJ. Tuberculosis death decreased 41 pneumonia deaths, 327. Scarlet fever deaths increased 3 cases decreased 143. Typhoid fever deaths decreased 24 cases decreased 42. By this quarter's report the annual death rate of the State would be 5.7 per 1,000, counting the population at 2,000,000. As the rate cannot possibly be less than 18 per 1,. 000, it is plain that not more than onethird of the deaths are reported. This is a reflection upon the medical profession, for the county secretaries each quarter complain that 'the doctors will not report.' As the law (R. S. 1894, section 6720) clearly commands physicians to report all births and deaths which may occur under their supervision, it is plain that there is considerable law-breaking going on. That this law-breaking is deliberate is proved by the fact that births are well reported, while deaths are only one-third reported. There is no reason why physicians should not obey the law like other citizens."

A ISart Fall.

Wilber Reynolds, son of A. E. Reynolds, was swinging in a swing on the veranda of Dr. Davidson's residence last Saturday when the rope suddenly broke,- precipitating the lad on his head onto the cement walk. The resulting injury was a most painful one and the lad was rendered unconscious for a time, though his condition is not dangerous.

FOR HORSE STEALING.

Dan Williams Ko,le Away on II is Kin-

|lo(\er's

Horse anil is Now ill .lail.

On the 2."th day of last September Mr. Daniel Williams, of this city, was plowing for Mr. Kindly A. Carr, of Alamo. Becoming hot and tired, Dan decided to take a ride. llo unhitched the horse and started. lie failed to return. So did the horso. Next day the horse was found by a farmer west of Truutman's, strolling about on a railroad trestle. The horse was taken up and reported to Marshal Crimes. Last Saturday Mr. Carr roported his loss to the Marshal with the result that he now has his horse, while Mr. Williams has a bright prospect for a trip norm. Williams is a man of very shady character, and has already spent a term in the penitentiary.

THAT WHEEL.

Marshal ill anil llio Marshal of New 31»rK(fl at Cross I'urposos.

Lebanon Reporter: About one month ago one of the numerous wheels stolen by Sam Haymaker, who was recently sent to prison, was located near New Market, Montgomery county, by Marshal Witt. A reward of §10 was offered for the leturn of the wheel. Mr. Witt vnotifiod Chief of Police Grimes, of Crawfordsville, of-the theft and asked him to get the wheel and hold it for further orders. Mr. Grimes being unable to make the trip, telephoned to the marshal of New Market, asked him to get the wheel. The latter did as directed. Now here's where a peculiar state of affairs arises. The New Market Gllicial won't give up the "bike" unless the reward is given to him. Marshal Witt, of this city, is the only one who knows the name of the owner, and he won't divulge it to the New Market man or to the chief of the Crawfordsville police.

He says that all he wants is liiB expenses and the other fellows can have the rest of the reward. As no one can get the reward until the wheel is returned, they're all out. The New Market marshal still has the wheel and Marshal Witt knows the owner, and there you are. It looks like a case of freeze out.

Slake a Ulan of Hint.

The best way to cure a student of petty vices and childish trickery 'is to make a man of him. Give him something real to do and he will not fritter his net vous strength away in conviviality or in degrading associations. But to forbid excesses and abuses, putting nothing in their places, cannot be very effective. Not long ago I had occahion to say: "If your college assume to stand in loco parentis, with rod in hand and spy»glasseB on its nose, it will not do much in the way of moral training. The fear of punishment will not make young men moral or religious—least of all a punishment so easily evaded as the discipline of a college. If your college claims to be a reform school, your professors detective officers, and your president a chief of police, the student will give 'them plenty to do. A college cannot take the place of a parent. To claim that it does is mere pretense. You may win by inspiration, not by fear. 'Free should the scholar be free and brave.* 'The petty restraints that may aid in the control of college smaks and college snobs are an insult to college men and college women. It is for the training of men and women that colleges exist."—From "College Discipline," h\i Duviii Starr Jordan, /'resident of Lelmul Stanford University, in North American Review for October.

'A Kml Kstato Deal.

Danville, 111., Commercial: A wedding party from Crawfordsville, Ind., applied to the county clerk for license to wed. The principals gave their names as Charles E. Carver and Miss Daisy Heath. They went in search of the First M. E. parsonage where Rev. Reed performed the marriage ceremony.

ART SECOND

THE EIGHTY-SIXTH REUNION.

liMMlnu-jr on the Anniversary-.':' ol t!i«» Itat11 of IVrryvill», October 7 anil S.

1 he thirty-sccond annual reunion of the Eighty-sixth regiment, Indiana olunteera, was held at Veedersburg on Thursday evening and Friday morning of last week, October 7 and 8, the thirty-fith anniversary of the battle of Perry ville, Ky. Through the efforts of Capt. II. M. Billings, tho chairman of tho committee on arrangements, admirable provision had been made for the reception and ontertaiment of all visiting comrades, former members of this regiment. On Thursday evening a camp fire was held, where a most interesting programme was carried out. Hon. Andrew Marshall, a soldier of the Sixty-third Indiana, and a resident of the town, delivered tho welcoming address brim full of patriotic fire and hospitable sentiments. Tho response was made by General J. It. Carnahan, who was the Captain of Co.' I. Tho experiences of Lieut. C. O. Sylvester while he was a prisoner were read, a recitation by a little girl and the whole interspersed by old war songs led by a quartette. A letter was also read from Captain Dent, who commanded the battery on Missionary Ridge at the point where the regiment ascended and WIIOBO guns were captured, in which ho expressed his astonishment that the charge was made and his admiration for tho btavery of his antagonists. It was a most enjoyable evening's entertainment. Next morning the veterans re-assembled at the hall to transact the business of the regimental association. Gen. Georgo F.

Dick, of Bloomington, 111., was reelected President D. P. Pence, of Fiankfort, Secretary Myron II. Belknap, of Frankfort, AssistantSecrotary J. R. Carnahan, of Indianapolis, Treasurer. I? rank fort was fixed as tho place for holding the next annual reunion, the time to bo named by tho local committee, of which M. II. Belknap was made chairman. After the transaction of other routine business tho time of the remainder of tho forenoon was, spent in reminiscential talks and in Binging old songs. Among tho pleasant little incidents which occurred was the presentation of a quilt to General Dick by the ladies of West Lebanon. The presentation was made by Oliver Boord, of Covington, and most feelingly accepted by the recipient. It was a beautiful piece of woman's handiwork with the names and company of the regiment stitched in serif, letters. At thej conclusion of the exorcises at tho hall a line was formed and the boys marched to tho Grand Army hall where an excellent luncheon was served by tho ladies of Veedersburg. Year after year the ranks of this old regiment are thinning out, nine reported as having died last year. Tho number of the unreported is not known. The hair of those who survive is whitening, their step is growing feebler, and their vision is getting dimmer, 'lho deopening pathos of these annual reunions is beyond the power of language to describe. Their worn, enfeebled or shattered forms are the costly saciificos of tho flower of the manhood of loyal North, who left home and parents and wives and sweethearts, not for tho love of military glory or inspired with the passion of conquest, but because a conspiracy had been formed to destroy the best government in the world.

Practical Kconomy.

The Board of iState Charities has been interested in a little experiment at the State reformatory at Jeffersonville. Nearly a year ago Secretary Bicknell suggested that tho socks used in the prison ought to bo knit in tbe prison. A few months ago tlio reformatory decided to try tho experiment, and purchased for 810 a second hand knitting machine, which requires the services of one man. It has been demonstrated that all the socks used in the prison (about 3,200 pairs a year) can be knit on this one machine, at a cost of loss than 50 cents a dozen. Under the most favorable circumstances the prison was never able to purchase socks at less than 85 cents a dozen, BO that the ten dollar machine will save the State about 895 a year. "It is a small matter." said Mr. Bicknell, "but it demonstrates how it is possible to economize in little things."

A l.arge .'Man.

Col. A. A. Powell, of Cincinnati, is in the city and attracts considerable attention as he goes about the streets, on account of his height. Tho Colonel is 7 feet 2% inches tall and large in proportion. He could give the ayerage side Bbow giant inches and pounds and beat him in both.
