THE GOLDEN RULE.

A COLD TIME IS COMING-

Weeds, Corn Husk?, and Woodchucka All •foretell a Severe Winter.

Lafayette Call: It is going to be a cold winter for man and beast. Look at the ragweed closer. How tall it is! Divinely tall, the birds murmur in their own language. When the ragweed gets as tall as it is growing now it is as pretty a sight to a non-migra-tory bird as a full hand is to a loser in a consolation pot. Tha't tallness means something. It means that there's going to be the deepest kind of a snowfal^ around the neck of woods where the ragweed has reared its inviting head. It meauB that old Madam Nature is taking care of her own by providing a class of food which will refuse to be snowed under. Now will you go buy that sanitary wool suit-.'

You won't? All right. Lock closer. Here's more evidence See the corn husk. Did you ever see a huskier, heavier husk? Of course you didn't or you'd be in the exhibiting business. That heaviness tells the chosen interpreters that there'6 cold tiino coming.

Proof plus proof. There'6 the woodchuck. His fur's thicker than the speech of a joyouly jagged spellbinder. That fur has a language ail its own. It says as plainly as a phonograph, "There'll be a cold time in the old town to-night." A woodchuck is as good a barometer as anybody need wish for. Get a woodchuck and train him up in the way he should go and you will use no other weather warning.

It would seem from these conclusive evidences that the proper thing to do is to get out and corner the woolen goods

now, so you ought to have little, if any, competition. Oil your skates, brush the moth balls out of your sweater, and dig up your fur-lined overcoat.

j: A Remedy for Hog Cholera.

A. special from Lafayette says that "Dr. Bitting, of the Purdue experiment station, has been notified that he will receive a consignment of serum for treating hog cholera somo time this week. This is the new goverment remedy, which is proving successful, and it is the first lot to be tried in this state. The disease prevails in almost every county, and is causing immense losses. From the reports received, it is estimated that fully 750,000 hogs, valued at 84,000,000, will be lost this fall. Everything on the market has been tried without success, and the results of experiments with the new serum will be watched with interest."

Buncli- Harks.

Last Thursday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Bunch, seven miles east of Attica, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Eva, to J. F. Marks, ofOdell. The bride was attired* in a beautiful white satin dress trimmed in chiffon lace and peral and wore bride's roses. Eva is a graduate of the Attica high school. Her sweet disposition and lovable nature has made her many friends. Mr. Marks is a son of a wealthy farmer living near Odell. He is a graduate of DePauw University and is a Mason and has many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Marks will reside near Odell in the future.

Huskers in Demand.

Corn huskers are said to be in great demand among the farmers ju6t now. The yield this year is an enormous one, and now that the cribbing season has arrived, farm hands who are nimble with husking pegs can make 81.50 per day from dawn till sundown, and then enjoy two hours by the warm fire after supper in making finger stalls for the next day's engagement with the down row and the nimble nubbins.

DIES IN CALIFORNIA.

Henry Hulet it Former Citizen ofCrawfordsville, Dies Tuesday at San Jose.

Walter Quiet has received word from San Jose that his brother, Henry Hulet, had died in that city Tuesday morning. Mr. Hulet was fifty-three years old and left Crawfordsville in 1882 because of ill health. He^was well known in this city and was a man of many splendid qualities and his friends in this city will be pained to hear of his demise, lie mairied a daughter of John Ratney in this city ann she survives him. There were no children. Mr. Hulet has been engaged in tho real estate business in Sail Jose and had recently returned from Klondike, where he bad been on ti prospecting tour for si'Vi'1'fl.i months. It is thought t.bat this trip had weakened him and was partly responsible for his death.

INDIGENT CHILDREN.

The Charities Hoard Will Ank t'.jruiiln .creased A piiropriat ion.

In the annual report of the state board of charities it will be asked that the legislature increase the appropriation far the care of indigent children by giving Mr. Streeter, the state agent for the work, an assistant. This assistant will be a woman, as it is believed a woman can be useful in many parts of the work to a greater degree than a man.

During the past year Mr. Streeter found homes for 162 children and Secretary Butler, of the state board, be-

increased by the addition of an assistant to Mr. Streeter. With the exception of this change the secretary of the board says no change will be asked from the legislature from present conditions, so far as the state board is concerned.

Curious Facts.

There are some curious facts about our calendar. No century can begin on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The same calendar can'be used every twenty years October ^always begins on the same day of the week as January, April and July September as December February March^andiNovember begins on the same days. May, June and August always begin on different days from each other andievery other month in the year. The first and last days of the year are always the same. These ruleB do not apply to leap year, when comparison is made between days before and after February 29th.

The Best and Cheapest.

The New York Independent, the leading weekfy newspaper of the world, and one whose pages exercise the widest influence, is entering §upon its fiftieth year of publication. The Independent emphasizes its fiftieth year by changing its form to that of a magazine, and by reducing its annual subscription price from 83.00J to 82.00 single copies from 10 to Sj-cents. The Independent in its new form will print 3,640 pages of reading matter per year at a cost to subscribers of 82.00, while the prominent magazines, which sell for 84 00 a year, print onlyjabout 8,000 pages. The subscriber to the Independent gets 82 per cent more of equally good reading matter at one-half the cost. It is not only the leading family weekly newspaper but by far the best and cheapest. A free specimen copy may be had by addressing the Independent, 130 Fulton street, New York.

Flags of Indiana Kegiuients.

The war department has notified Lieutenant-Colonel May, the mustering officer for this state, that the flags of the Indiana regiments and batteries that did service in the Spanish war may be retained in the possession of the state. The flags will be turned over to the state librarian for safe keeping.

Death of Mrs. Andrew Owens.

Mrs. Andrew Owens died Wednesing at her home in the east end of the city, after a 6hort illness. She was hurt internally several days ago by her child running against her accidentally. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Britts and was a very estimable lady.

Doctors Agree.

Dr. W. H. Ristine and Dr. Paul J. Barcus have formed a partnership in the practice of medicine and will office in the Green street apartments which Dr. Ristine has been occupying for some time. The new firm will prove a deservedly popular one.

Presented a Flag.

Attica Ledger: In behalf of Hon. Charles B. Landis the elegant silk flag was presented to the battery last night by Capt. Schanz. He made a very appropriate speech, after which the battery marched on the street led by martial music

DISINTERRED.

The Body of Jacob Stein, the Suicide, is Taken Up Wednesday and Was Taken to Chicago.

Lazarus Cooper, representing the United Hebrew Charities of Chicago, arrived in the city Tuesday in pursuance to a message sent him by Joseph Goldberg, of this city in regard to the death of Jacob Stein in this city by suicide on last Friday. This society allows no body of a Hebrew to be buried in a pauper's grave, and Mr. Cooper

waB

here to see whether the body was that of a Jew or not. The body was disinterred on Wednesday and proven to have belonged to this nationality and was taken to th9 undertaking establishment of Mr. Barnhill and was taken to Chicago on Wednesday night by Mr. Cooper, who is an undertaker in Chicago. He said the society that he represented did not know Jstein, but the fact that he was a Jew was all that was necessary for them to know in order to give him a burial in one of their cemeteries, and though the expense was considerable in this case the society would pay it cheerfully.

Monday was the last day for paying county taxes and the business at the treasurer's office has been large Treasurer Johnson reports that the receipts for the laBt four days pre ceding Monday averaged about $10,000 per day, and that while they were not through checking it up he thought that there was about the usual amount of delinquent taxes of the second installment remaining unpaid He said that the run had been very good and would make a very satisfactory showing when the money is all checked off. This is a task of mam moth dimensions and the people little recognize the amount of work connect ed with this important office. There is still considerable money coming in by mail yet, however, and this will not all be in probably for several days

R. V. HUNTER AGAIN-

He Asserts That the Christians of This Country Are Entirely Too Inactive.

Before the meeting of Indianapolis pastors Monday morning, with about fifty ministers present, the Rev. R. V. Hunter, of the Seventh Presbyterian church, read a paper on "A Christian Hiatus—Causes and Cures." Mr. Hunter said that by "Christian Hiatus" he meant a letting down in Christian power, aggressiveness and purpose.

The genuine Christian in this country, ho said, must be a temperance man. The genuine religious test, he thought, rose and fell in parallel lines with the temperance sentiment. Judging by this, he considered that the religious life of our city and country is at a low ebb. "The Baloon seems to have its own way in this city," he said, with both political parties at the present tiino." Another feature that worked against temperance was that some of the greatest monthlies devoted much space to the glorification of whiskies.

In our city," he continued, "the Nicholson law is a dead letter." Ho said at different times, noticeably at the time of the Knights of Pythias encampment, the city was known to be wide open, and yet nothing was done to change the existing condition of affairs. He said that neither party at the time of the last city election gave promise that if it obtained power it would give the city a better condition of things. Ho said the police commissioners of Terre Haute were appointed by the governor of the state, and yet the people of that city Ba'd that Terre

Haute was never wider open than it is now. The Nicholson law was not observed there, and gambling at times had been open and shameless.

He asked, also, what had become of the Good Citizenship League when the voice of Christian people was heard crying out against the violation of the law. "The Christian conscience slumbers," said Mr. Hunter, "and civic virtue is on a decline. "Sunday baseball is another evidence of a deteriorating public sentiment. The fact that a judge can be elected who will pander so far to a corrupt sentiment as to make Sunday ball possible by a court ruling is a sad commentary on our judiciary."

Sunday desecration, the speaker said, was becomming more and more common. "Church people are content to sit at home, reading the Sunday papers, or to go to church and sing 'Nearer, My God, to Thee,' while the public is bedamned. If we may judge from the sermons published in our city papers, with the exoeptlon of the sermon recently by Dr. Villers, the ministry prefers to discuss 'the beautiful and the awful loveliness of the gospel,' or the peace suggestion from across the seas, or the limitations of the Infinite.'"

Mr. Hunter further said that the church was carrying people that were habitual drinkers, and members that
