FRIDAY, OCTOHER 20 1897

Governor Mount

Treasury

presided at a peace

convention at Indianapolis recently and also attended a street fair at Veedersburg. The Governor adds dignity and grace to any occasion and like President McKinley believes in mixing with the people.

department figures show

that the silver money in the world at the date of the "crime" (1873) amounted to 81,817,000.000. It now amounts to 81 200,000,000, an increase of 131 per cent while the gold money of the world has increased only 33 per cent, during the same period, being in 1873, §3,045,000,000, and in 18%, 84,100,000,000.

A si'kciai. commission appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts i,to investigate the subject of taxation has just reporlcd. It is composed of men of national fame and therefore its recommendations will have much weight am, in all probability will be put into law. The most important feature of the report is that part which suggests an inheritance tax of five per cent on all estates over $10,000. Goverijor Mount might get some good ideas from that report for his message to the next Legislature.

The

Democratic orators who were

expecting to make mincemeat of the feature of the Dingley law relating to exportation of American manufactures have lapsed into singular silence. Nor are they making comparisons of the exportations under the new law and those of a year ago under the Wilson law. For ther exclusive information, attention is directed to the fact that these exportations aggregated during the second month of the Dingley law $103,300,000, as -gainst 883,756,000 in the corresponding month of la6t year.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY. It will be to to the credit of the Republican party that the free delivery of mail is extended to the country. .Postmaster-General Wanamaker made the first experiments in this line and under Postmaster-General issell the subject was dropped. The McKinley administration is now taking up the thread. First Assistant Postmaster

Heath announces that it has been tried and lound successful on forty-four routes in twenty-nine different States and that it will be extended just as rapidly as appropriations will admit. In the next general order why can't Montgomery be remembered? Mr. Bonuell, can't you put in a good word for u6? A daily mail would be appreciated by our farmers.

fiKOWTII OF A NKW INDUSTRY. The manufacture of the new metal, 'aluminum, is making most wonderful progress in this country. Three plants are now in successful operation, one at Pittsburg and two at Niagara Falls, and the three together turn out more than 10,000 pounds of the inetal daily.

So rapid has been the increase of this new metal that its price has been reduced, in the past few years, from SI0 per pound to about 35 cents per ponnd. Considering its lightness, it sells today for much less than iron did 7f years ago. Hulk for bulk it is cheaper now than copper, lend and tin. That It is yet to be greatly reduced in price ifa quite certain. The new process of making it by electricity, invented by Mr. Charles Martin Hall, of Oberlin, Ohio, has rendered it possible to produce the new metal in unlimited quantity, at a greatly reduced cost. It is extracted -from certain kinds of clay, of which the supply is as abundant as the water of the ocean. As to its uses, it is now being made into cooking utensils, met&l fixtures for bicycles, and will no doubt soon be used for roofing of houses, and for furniture, and for many other purposes.

'I'llI! TI.MH IS "RII'K.

The time doestseem auspicious for co education at Wabash College Events have conspired to make this the opportune occasion for its advocates to push things.

Coates College for women, which was the only place for girls of Presbyterian families in this part of the State to attend, has disappeared and Wabash has come into possession of a large bequest, making it easy, if necessary, to prepare for the ladies by erecting a dormitory. But no large expenditure is necessary, as it is not expected that Wabash should add departments of music, cooking and crocheting. What

the friends of the girls are contending for is that they have the opportunity of taking the same studies as are now offered to the boya. L»ter on if some rich friend of these modern arts de sires to see them emphasized at Wabash he may provide for them. Hut it is no more essential to co-education to have "music and art halls, and a pipe organ" than to have a military or theological department for the boys. Wabash can give a fine classical and scientific education and the spirit of the time demands that botn sexes should have an equal chance, at it. Let those who want music or theology, crocheting or military training go elsewhere.

The friends of the college, particularly the alumni, aretakiug advantage of the fortunate conjunction of circumstances above noted, and witn f^w exceptions are gallantly joining- in a petition to the trustees to act favorably on the question at their December session. It is said that a majority of the board favor the admission of girls, and if so, this demonstration on the part of the alumni ought to crystallize their opinions into action.

AUTUMN IN CKN i'UAI. INDIANA. There are few other places in the world more beautiful, or more pleasant to live in. than central Indiana, in the fall of the year, the period called by the old settlers, "Indian Summer." And this year it has been more than usually prolonged, as well as more charming and invigorating. There is just enough haze in the atmosphere to break the fierceness of the sun's yet too scorching rays the breeze is cool and refreshing and the forests of oak, walnut, sugar and soft maple, beech, linden, poplar, sasafras and dogwood, present a variety of richness of colors that no artist could ever imitate with his brush. Let one take a ride into the country these charming days and he will be deeply impressed with the grandeur of the waving landscapes, and see pictures more beautiful than ever came from the studio of the artist. The dying foliage has taken on hues of richer and more various than the colors of the rainbow. But all this is perhaps but a prelude to a stormy and biting winter, in which many will suffer because they did not appreciate God's bounty in giving them such lovely days in which to prepare for the rigor of the coming storms. The little ground squirrel will fill his winter house with nuts and berries. How many, who ought to be vastly his superior, will fail to imitate his prudence?

SUGAR AND WOOL.

CiThe largest two items of expense the United States has to incur for foreign supplies are those of sugar and wool, the latter including woolen goods. A wise governmental policy would soon dispense with both these sources of drain upon our national wealth. It is not now doubted anywhere that we can make all our own sugar, and it will be easier still for us to produce all our own wool and manufacture all our own supplies of woolen goods. It is quite sure that the Dingley tariff, if let alone for a few years, will relieve us of the burden of these two items of expense, and keep at home almost 8200,000,000 now spent in foreign countries for wool, woolen goods and sugar. The wages paid for the production of these articles should all go to American laborers.

Farewell Dinner.

On last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Wilson gave a dinner in honor of their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McGinnis, of Madison county. Iowa, who have been visiting relatives here and at Odel, Tippecanoe, county, for the past four weeks, but who left for the West on Monday. Forty-three rersons partook of the eatables which consisted of oysters, turkey and ice cream. It was a merry company and a Dleasant day was spent, but sadness predominated at parting late in the afternoon. Joseph McGinnis is an extensive and prosperous farmer of Patterson, Iowa, was born near Round Hill, where James Colman now lives,in Isl3 and removed with his parents to his present ho". where his father entered a large scope of land. He had not been in Indiana for forty-one years until this visit, and expressed great surprise at the wonderful transformation of this country, and was especially delighted with our roads which he reinbered as winding around through the woods over roots and stumps with rr ud hub deep during rainy seasons. While here they visited all places of interest about Crawfordsville, made a trip to the Indiana Mineral Springs, near At'Jca and made a hurried call at Lafayette. Upon the whole they expressed themselves as well pleased with the country and people and said they thought their parents had made a mistake by leaving Indiana for Iowa.

for the day. Corn showed great strength at the opening, there being some buying by commission houses. When wheat became strong, corn soon acted in sympathy with it. The shorts freely covered. and tnis helped to strengthen corn.

Oats were materially strong and influenced by other grains. October was strong at 18 cents. There was a great deal of covering by local shorts. The marked closed firm and steady.

Provisions Lave been rather dull, there being a light trade. Prices, however, remained firm and strong. Prices are too low for the product and reports from the fever districts are favorable for another advance, the weathtr becoming colder throughout the southwest.

A blessing to the world! Paine's celery compound has been proven to be the one good remedy that really makes people well. This estimable woman, whose Christian work is earnestly directed toward the betterment of others, and whose eminence in the W. C. T. makes her advice of great value, plainly endorses Paine's celery compound.

The amonnt of poor health on every hand is something shocking to everyone who stops to think. Hundreds of men and women in every neighborhood are to day carrying about with them a needless load of ailments that a thorough refreshing of their nerves, a purifying of their blood, more sleep and more regularity in their bodily functions would completely do away with. Paine's celery compound will do all this for sick and ailing men and women.

Physical Culture Lecturer Endorses Paine' Celery Compound.

Miss Lucy H. Hitchcock, lecturer, department of physical culture, Woman's Christian Temperance I'nion, Vermont, wrote on May 10, last: "It affords me pleasure to add my testimony with others regarding the healing effects of Paine's Celery Compound upon an exhausted, nervous system."

Aug. 12, 1897, she wrote: "As a rule I do not endorse mtdicines, but I believe Paine's celery compound to be of a different order from ordinary medicines. Facts cannot be disputed. I have derived so much benefit from the compound that I am glad to heartily recommend it, hoping others similarly afflicted may be relieved. Any medicine that will relieve suffering humanity is a blessing to the world."

A "hear-say" reputation may do for other remedies Paine's celery compound is best known from the mouths of men and women whom it has made well—they are in every city, town and village in the country.

No one can pass the newspaper bulletins without being reminded by how slight a thread the best men hold on to life. The slight ups and downs in health from which people recover make them forget that there i6 a limitto the body's elasticity and endurance. The habitually exhausted nervous system at last loses its power of recovery and offers no resistance to disease. "Prevent disease," is the watchword of the best medical thought of to-day. Careful men and women do not wait until they are flat on their backs as people once did. The more intelligent part of every community has found out the inpstimable benefit to be derived from 'aine's celery compound, when one is worn out. nerve tired and "out of sorts."

The little ills, the beginning of neuralgia and rheumatism, the "all gone" and tired feelings show the immediate need of purifying the blood and refreshing the nerves. The direct and energetic way Paine's celery compound overcomes sick and nervous headaches, dyspepsia and heart troubles, as it does all other nervous disorders, has compelled the admiration of the medical world from the start.

Headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, lifeless feelings, and debility cannot persist when intelligently met and corrected by this greatest of nerve and brain strengtheners. No remedy ever kept the confidence of so large a body of inquiring men and women. Try it.
