Which Half is theBetterHalF

The housewife's duties are harder than men realize. Cleaning alone is a constant tax on her strength, a never-ended task. More than half the work of cleaning she can have done for her, if she will, and the expense -will be next to nothing.

Harrington Twll* tho story ol 111* I ft# With. H*?r and It Read* Like J%* Ac'dount of the Destruction of the Spanish Fleet.

George Harrington came into the circuit courtWednesday and after rubbing a big lump on the back of his head for a few minutes he filed suit for divorce from hiB wife, Ola Harrington. If the allegations in that complaint are true Ola is more to be dreaded than a rapid fire gun. To be candid she is a whole battery and fires all sorts of ammunition. She usually begins an engagement will-, a fti-Hady n' J»mv ry English aod as she gradually :vpaj«Js to the work she drops into the caiup of the terrified enemy tlit irou.n, isVove wood, cms, dishes and other sifshtructive and armor piercingprej-.otiies. Georure has been playing enemy for the last tour years and ho is mighty sick of. Mm job O .i\t Saturday he sneaked out uf his intrench ments and now ni Jii'lirc West1* court of international arbitration he hues foT peace, lie a5te^c-t.- mat during bis lift? with G.a fciitj halt bteu uutr&gcou^iy or,n 1 and has spared no opportunity for making him trouble, She as stronger physically than he. and ha?, frequently demonstrated the fact to the satisfaction of the neighborhood. She has repeatedly beaten him and on one occasion knocked him down with the rolling pin. At another time us ho lied precipitately from the house she bent after him a stick of stove wood, which struck him on the shoulder and almost dislocated that member. Not only did she beat him, but she cursed him constantly and accused him of infidelity to herself, greatly to his distress and sorrow. She frequently threatened to poison him and George never knew when he ate ona of her two-pound biscuits but that at least half a pound of the weighty mass was

Rough on Rats. He finally concluded that she was planning to celebrate the Fourth by putting him out of the way, so he concluded to quit and be did. George has had a sad, sad life, and the gaining of a decree of absolute divorce would be aecouutea by him as mighty little 6hort of gaining a crown in the hereafter. t-,.

The School Apportionment. The semi-annual apportionment of the school funds collected in the different counties was announced Tuesday by the board of public instruction. The report shows a slight decrease in collections of taxes, reducing the per capita amount for each pupil from SI.43 to S141. The total amount collected from all counties was SI,002,299 91. There was in the treaeury a balance over the last apportionment of 824,24S SI. making a total on hand of 81,OSO,54S.S1. The amount allotted for distribution at this time was 31,064,472.45, leaving, after paying the apportionment, a balance in the treasury of S22,070.27.

Montgomery county paid into the state treasury 8L3,505, but as she shows only 8 54(5 school children she gets out only Si2,04'J ,•

She -Celebrated.

Julia O.-iborii, one of the diniug room girls at the Ramsey, eelebrated the Fourth to her sorrow, she purchteed a large siza cannon lire crackers under the impression that t'uey were Raman candles. She lit the first one of the paekage and was waving it in gentle curves over her head when it went oif. Her hand was terribly lacerated and it will be some time before she can go to work.

News:

Admiral Brown

and General McGinnis went to the Shades of Death yesterday to spend the Fourth quietly as the guests of Dr. H. Moore, of the Garland Dell House. Some old soldiers, who were celebrating, and others, who were picnicking, however, learned of their presence, and insisted in their taking part in the celebrations of the day, and in making speeches. General McGinnis read some vorses on the war with Spain, and Admiral Brown, moved to enthusiasm by the great naval news, spoke with unusual emotion of the nuvy. lie said that he had been for several years with the navy, and knew the quality of its ofiieers and men, and what, to expect of them. Ho knew Dewey and Sampson, and had the greatest confidence from the start that they wf-how the qualities which have now become kuown'to the world in ir-Ti'ia!.

He then stood on the hotel veranda and read aloud to larfre gathering of people the news of the great naval victory, which was received with enthusiasm. writ' a^it:kicans win*.

Admiral Brown returned to the city at 10:40 a. m.'to-day. "I was at the Shades of Death, near Bloomingdale," said the admiral, "and cut short my stay beeiuse 1 could not hear $hat was going on at Santiago. I am now reading the details of Sampson's destruction of the Spanish lleet." "How do you account for our great naval superiority over the Spanish?" he was asked.

Every ship in commi&Mon in the United States navy is completely ready for action every hour of the day or night, in peace as well as in war. Everything except the actual firing of the guns is gone through with daily. There is target practice every month. Once a week one of the regular drills is to clear ship for action, just as though we were going into a fight. The decks are cleared of every incumbrance and all things are got in as complete readiness as though the enemy were before us. "Our gunnerB are selected by reason of their intelligence, and peculiar fitness. They are instructed from the first by graduates of the Naval Acedemy. Our guns are not superior to those that Spain is suposed to have on her ships. The Spanish naval.equip ment is modern. The fault lies in the men and in the offictirs more than in the guus and ships. The Spanish blood is hot. The oflicers and men do not keep cool heads in time of action. "A hot head interferes with a good aim. The Spanish officers are not educated in their profession. They are scions of,noble end rich families, and receive appointment and rapid promotion not on merit, but by the influence of friends. They arc*, taught to believe that all Spaniards are good sailors and good soldiers, that they are born so and do not require discipline and drill. H'hiie they have a daily routine oa Spanish ships, it is not thorough, a.- in our navy. "The men of their navy are imorfv ted or drafted into service from fifciwag towus and villages. Their hearts are not ia their work. They are mere machines, and very poor machines at that. The Spaniards are poor in constructive ability, and lack ingenuity. If a piece of machinery breaks down, if anything happens in the engine room or about the guns, they have few resources to fall back upon. They are*helpless to make repairs that an American mechanic v.'ould find means to make readily. The Spanish are never roady for an emergency that requires rapid action and mechanical skill. "Then again our ammunition of all Vinds is prepared or manufactured 'inder the ciosa inspection of a line officer of tne navy, and nothing is left '.o chance. It has been said more than once that Spanish officials never fail

I to accept a bribe when one is offered, and may thus bB induced to accept im-

perfect.material." .• "Do yea think, admiral, that our vessels will enter Santiago harbor?"

The Spanish lleet sailed out because Cervera knew where the submarine mines are planted and passed around them. Our ships can not pass in until the mines are removed. The mere silencing of the forts will not be sufficient. The mines there, as in other Cuban harbors, are, I understand, contact mines and not electric mines."

To the members of the Twentieth Century Club, Crawfordsville Ind.,— Dear Friends.—Had Robert Spratt succeeded in getting a picture of the one hundred and nine boys of Company M, 158th Ind., Vols, it might have in a measure conveyed to you some idea of how the reception of your "Christmas boxes" were appreciated. But they came in after night and the rare light of a camp candle was insufficient for the pictures, but the cheers that rent the Georgia air, the glad response as their names were called told the. story as the picture would have told it. To a man they have asked that you bo thanked for the remembrance and to tell you tnat these courtesies give inspiration to do and dare and bring home tp you .something of victory aud honor. Yours respectfully,

J»oob MiUer wat. born in IContueiiy July 25, SIT and died in Craw fordsviile July being eighty earis, elevun moutns and six days oM. He. was t.hu sui of William MIPPI wtio built the first log cabin in what ia now'. Crawfords-vilic, when

I'nelo Jake

was but five years old. The deceased had resided iu and about C-rawfordt-ville all his life, being perhaps the oldest living resident of the city and county. He was by nature of a quiot disposition, loved and honored by all with whom he came in contact! He always took a deep interest in the growth and development of the city.

He saw the growth from the one log cabin of his father'6,(which stood about one hundred and thirty feet no'th of the old Brown A Watkins mill lot) to a city numbering its thousands. He saw the growth from the paths through the primeval forests to the broad streets aud beautiful avenues for which our city its noted. He was a pioneer of pioneers who came up through all the privations, toil aud struggles incident to such.life.of which the present generation knows but little, but now enjoy the luxuries which were brought about by the toil and unflinching characters of these noble and true hearted men and women of which "Uncle Jake" was one. Such a life has not been spent in vain and should be honored by those who are left to reap the harvest of theii toil. Such a person cannot but leave an impress on all those with whom he associated. He had three brothers and three sisters of whom two sisters and one brother sur vive him. Those living are Mrs Shevlin of this city, who was the first white female child born in Montgomery county. Lida Raymond, of California, and Henry Miller of this city. Ho was married to Martha Jane Edwards October 89, 18'Ki She survives him., To them were born three cliildreo, Henry C., Mattie and'lilizu, allof whom preceeded him to that home where parting will bo no more. Ho had been a member of the M. E church for more than thirty years and had lived a consistent Christian life and es old age and infirmities crept on him his hopes of an immortality beyond the grave grew bright and ho said on his death bed that he was satisfied and ready to go when the master should call.

Wuekly Crop linllflln.

Exceedingly favorable weather for harvest prevailed, warm, dry and much sunshine, until Sunday night, when local rains were very beneficial to corn, oats, potatoes and other growing crops. The wheat harvest progressed uninterruptedly: in the more southern counties the harvest is ended, wheat is in shock and threshing has begun: in the more northern counties the harvest is ICKS advanced, and, in Ailen and Porter counties, it has not yet begun the yield is very good, both as to quality and quantity the heads are well filled, the gram plump aud the straw long: in only a few localities did the fly and rust do injury enough to diminish the yield. A good crop of rye is harvested in all portions. Haying continued under most favorable weather conditions immenso crops of fine quality have been cured and housed the hay seems to bo of a better quality than usual. An excellent crop of clover has been secured, and the cutting of a superior crop of timothy has be^un. Oats are ripening rapidly and turning yellow in the extreme southern portion the harvest has begun tho yield will apparently be better than last year the heads are large aod well filled, but the straw is short, and the crop will be difficult to cut in some fields. Corn is in fine growing condition, being of a fresh, green color, and it stands well in cultivated and clean fields most of it is "laid by." Early potatoes yield well, and they are of superior quality late potatoes grow well, but need rain. Field beans have been planted and are coming up nicely peas promise a heavy crop.

Tomatoes promise an abundant yield for canning purposes. Field vego tables, mulous and gardogtt truck ar» in good conditio !. Livestock i» thriving on good pastur.iaV, Honey bees are very buiy.

Governor A^knl t6 Scud l.SMionarftttvt. Amoti£ the iSohilers,

Governor Mount is in receipt of a. letter from William E. Dodge, of Nevr York, calling his attention to a federal law passed in 18G1, by the provisions of which the governor of every state is entitled to recommend to the President two men from his state who will act as a committee to work among the soldiers of his own state with a viewto providing for their families at home. The plan is to socuro from each man an authorization to forward a certain amount of la is pay through a sight draft issued bytthe government to any. member of his. family who may be dependent on him for support. During the civil war the plan was tried and worked with great success, the report sent out from New York being that 85,000,000 was sent to that city by means of the plan during the first year of its adoption. Governor Mount has decided to.take tho matter up for consideration, being favorably impressed with the value of the work in this di-» rection. If it is found to bo practice abie at this tune and there is any disposition on tho part of other state executives to do iiliewiso he will name two Cadianians to go among the soldiers from this state and put the plan into practice. The offices are not stipendiary ones. ne governor modestly remarked that during the years ho was a soldier he sent home S!0 every month. "I was able to do that when I was receiving 813 a month." said ho, "and when I was made a sergeant, and my pay wa6 increased, I sent a little more.

At the. close of the war 1 had saved S500, and it was of great service tome. My experience as a soldier convinces mo that men are bettor off if they refrain from spending their money with the camp sutlers but with few exceptions the things sold by the sutlers are harmful to the soldiers. Many of the Indiana soldiors at the front left behind families, or dependent relatives, and under tho law of 18t51, they could easily have a considerable part of their pay sent homo to the ones in need of it. Mr. Dodge and other men in the east, who have examined into tho subject, feel confident that the law of 1801 is still in force, and I shall see what can be done to forward its observance. I am ready at any time to suggest two commissioners representing Indiana, who shall visit the troops and learn their wishes as to their pay."

From WHHliiiigtou State.

Mrs. Robinson, of south Walnut street, has received a number of boxes of cherries sent her by Will Insley, of Washington state. Tho fruit is of a very superior quality, both as regards color and flavor. Some of the cherries, which are as largo as piums, are as black as coal.

Deuth of Julia Corrif^jin, A. B, Anderson last Wednesday received a message from Hutchinson, Kansas, announcing the death of his sister, Mrs. Julia Corrigan. Iler death was quite unexpected.

TIME TO ACT.

When the Body is Not at Its Best Look to the Kidneys.

The Discovery of John Morrow HUB Placed the ALoitim of KustoruiK llcitlih iu lA«rj Ijcuij'ts I'uu i.-r.

When human body is eutirely free from pain and the nerves are strong and the senses keen,'when severe muscular exertion is a joy and the individual labors hopefully to achieve the success in life that ambition ur^e,^ nim toward—then it is certain that the kidneys are working properly and healthfully and the wnoio body fceis the good results. When the reverse of these conditions exist it is time to give careful attention to the health.

The kidneys are like a keystone iu an arch. Their function is to keep all parts of the body in the harmony of good health. But when the kidneu yet out of order every part suffers First, usually, there is a pain in the small of the back. Headaches, nervousness and pain in urinuting follow, and the system is all run down.

To chock kidney diseases in these earliest stages or to cure cases of many years' standing, there is nothing better known to the medical world than Morrow's Kidneoids. The remedy discovered by John Morrow, the yreat American Chemist, is put up in little yellow tablets, which, despite the small size, have great power over the kidueys.

A grateful letter from a well known grocer, of Springfield. Ohio. Mr. F. A. Lewis, tells how the Kidneoids act. Mr. Lewis writes: "I have taken two boxes of Morrow's Kidneoids and have been wonderfully benefitted. From the burning sensation and the retention of urine, 1 was positive that I was suffering from kidney trouble. I had taken many remedies without success, and finally decided to try Morrow's Kidneoids. The effect was almost instantaneous, ano I am thankful that I was able to discover such a cure. To thof-o wishing relief I can reeomvat'ud this remedy."

Morrow's Ividnojids are now OQ sale crer'AraUv. If not to ht» had jOf your dealer, they will be postpaid upon receipt of no cents per box, or six, bo:pw f-T so. hv *h'! Herb Mtdiciue Co., Sjiricg-field, Ohio.
