Heginning with the new year, we shall adopt the plan of selling our goods for cash only. The modern plan of a cash business is quite different from that of the average merchant of a few years ago. It now means a general marking down of prices, modern and aggressive methods of conducting business, and the selling of more goods at a closer profit. We have done away with an enormous expense in book-keep-ing, stationary, collector, and collector's expenses, and shall give this money to our customer in reduced prices in goods.

ANTI-LYNCH LAW.
Governor Mount Will Pimh Legifllaturo on the Subject.
Governor Mount and Attorney-Gen-eral Taylor were conferring Monday over the character of the bill, which, if passed by the legislature, is expected to make lynchings unpopular in Indiana. It has been shown to the above officials that mobB composed wholly of the lower element of society lack the moral courage to perpetrate such outrages, and to take human life must be led by men of superior courage and position. In all cases where the identity of perpetrators of lynchings has become known it has been^found that there were always some of the most prominent people of the neighborhood in the party, and that the others who followed in their wake did so, conscious of the fact that the influence of the leaders would be sufficient to secure immunity from prosecution for the act. In many cases sherkfis, knowing who the leaders in the mob* were, felt that it would be as much as their political career was worth to oppose them, and offered but a show of resistance. The state officials also feel that were a law passed which would make it possible to recover for lives and property lost aB a result of mob disorders, the present leaders in such affairs would feel that their interests as taxpayers would be found on the side of law and order, as the payment of any large judgments would directly increase the amount of their taxes.
Hut the governor and attorner-gen eral agree that too stringent a law cannot be passed, governing the liability of counties for all results of such acts of lawlessness committed within their borders.
A Sad Christinas.
For the Journal. For many years the children of Valentine Miller have given a dinner on Christmas day to their father and his and their friends. Last Sunday Win Viers, south and east of ^Vesley gave the dinner it was a good one, and a day well spent.
On Christmas day, 1877, Mr. Miller's wife died, and since then he has been true to her sainted memory, and thus far walks down the rough road of life alone and now on crutches. Christ mas is a Bad day in spite of all that can be done he looks back twenty-one years to one he most loved, but laid to rest at Mt. Zion.
Robert Troutman and wife, Willard Payne and family, Daniel Morris and family, all the above named men married his daughters, were present The friends that were there wereA. Lewis and family, Chas. Lewis and family, Florence Demorett, Walter Thomas and also Frank Miller, a son The turkey was found to weigh 21, pounds when dressed. All the choicest things on a farm that are good to eat were prepared by these four daughters who know how to prepare a meal, should the Prince of Wales sit down to that table he would surely smile. After dinner Miss Florence Demorett presided at the organ, many beautiful songs and hymns being sung. The family then organized permanently with Daniel Morris, president Robert Troutman, secretary. Willard Payne led in prayer. "God Be With You till We Meet Again," was sang. Standing leaning on his crutches, with tears streaming down his cheeks, Uncle Val Baid: "I tell you I feel pretty good.

PROPOSED TEMPERANCE LAW. THE LUNAR ECLIPSE-
Dr. Spurgeon, of tlie State Medical Boar.), lias a Grent Scheino,
Dr. W. T. Gott has received from his fellow members on the 6tate medical board, Dr. W. A. Spurgeon, the following interesting communication: "I desire to submit some of the salient points of a new temperance measure which I hope the coming legslature will pass, either as an amendment to the present temperance law or as a resolution looking to constitutional amendment or both. The measure will provide for the issuance of a liquor license only to such applicants as possess special qualifications based upon experience. No applicant shall be eligible except he has had at least one year's experience a6 a licensed saloonkeeper and has personally conducted a saloon during the year immediately previous to the year for which he makes application. The purpose of this proposed measure is two fold. First, it is to put the saloon business into the hands of the most competent men possible. Second, it is to eventually terminate the business in the state. It will accomplish the first by cutting off future accessions, eliminating beginners. Beginners in the saloon business do more harm than those having an established trade.
They must obtain custom. To do so, the temptation to sell to minors, confirmed inebriates and to dangerous characters and to sell on unlawful days and hours is very great. Besides beginners as a rule are not supposed to know their customers. v":
Under a law of this kind the number of saloons would very rapidly diminish. Many men go out of the business every year by choice. To say the least the business would be limited to this generation. I have interviewed a number of the leading saloon men of this city and without exception these men assure me that my proposed measure would be a good one and remedy very soon much of the evil that now attends the business. I say to them frankly that the purpose .jf this law would lie to terminate the drink traffic with the present generation and they answer without exception that they have no desire to leave their business as a heritage to their sons, and that the business is an undesirable one. They see at once that this plan of deaiiug with the traffic does not deprive them of their investment nor in any way does it interfere with them personally. They see that having paid their money for license and for stock and fixtures that the law would not confiscate their property. The saloon keepers of the state will, in my opinion, largely fivor this measure, for it proposes to treat them fraukly and fairly. The temperance people of the state will, when they come to understand this plan, favor it. Hence the legislature ought not to hesitate to pass it. That the measure would be constitutional as a police law I have been assured by many excellent lawyers. I am anxious to see it tried."
Death of Dr. Sidney Dyer.
Mrs. Mattie Dyer Britts has received the news of the death of her father, Rev. Dr. Sidney Dyer, of Philadelphia. Dr. Dyer was well known all over the country for his work both in prose and poetry. Some of his hymns are in almost every hymn book, and his scientific stories for young people in the school libraries of nearly all the leading citieB, besides having been translated into five languages. Some of them are in our city school library. Dr. Dyer was a minister of national repute, and has a number of times filled the pulpit of the Baptist church in this city while on a visit to his daughter. Coming so soon after the death of Mrs. Nellie Owens, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Britts, makes this affliction doubly hard to bear.

The Spectacle In Fulled )ir Ou Ti Tuesday livening and Is a Great .Success.
The eclipse of the moon laBt Tuesday per schedule time was a very beautiful and interesting spectacle. The shadow began to cross the face of fair Luna shortly after 5 o'clock and at o'clock the eclipse was total and many persons who had forgotten the incident were wondering what was the matter with the electric lights. The sky was slightly cloudy but this did not prevent a sight of the eclipse as the clouds were shifting rapidly. By 7 o'clock tho edge of the moon began to show and at 8 o'clock the shadow was gone and the orb of night shone forth with her usual argentine splendor. Shortly after the moon entered the shadow the eclipse was seen at its best, for through the shadow the orb looked purple, blue and brown at different times.
This iB the sixth eclipse of tho year, the first being the only other one visible in the United States. It was a partial eclipso of the moon Jan. 7. The second eclipse was visible in parts of Africa, India and the Chinese empire and was of the sun. The next was an eclipse of the moon on July i. The fourth—an annular eclipse of the sun —was visible only in the extrome southern end of South America and in New Zealand. The fifth was an eclipse of Bmall magnitude. &The presence of light during the "total eclipse" is explained by the atmosphere of the earth which bends around the light of the sun from both sides lending to Luna's darkened face the peculiar hues commented upon by observers of all classes last Tuesday night.
To Settle With t!:e State. vV
Mi68 Grace Johnson, daughter of county treasurer Johnson, went to Indianapolis on Wednesday to settle for Montgomery county with the state treasurer. This county will have to cough up about §20,000 to square matters with that official and Miss Johnson would make a good catch for a road agent bad she taken that amount of cold cash with her as used to be the custom, but the business will be set tied by a check for the amount and thus all danger is obviated.

SWEENEY'S ADVICE.
'Want* a Game CoiiimlHHloiier Appointed to Stop Violations.
E. T. Sweeney, state fish commissioner, says, in view of the many recent game and fish law violations: "Tho trouble lies in tho fact that Indiana has no game commissioner, and there is no one else whose special duty it is to look after tho matter. As usual, 'what iB everybody's business is nobody's.' "In my forthcoming report you will see that I advise extending the fisheries commissioner's office to fish and game commissioner, and giving him power to appoint fish and game deputies, who shall have power to arrest on sight any persons found violating either fteh or game laws. "Nearly all other states have such a union,and all their deputies have police powers, and all the commissioners testify that they could do nothing without it. My deputies are the only ones thus handicapped. "Ono of two things should be done by the next legislatures—either unite the two positions and make a proper appropriation for enforcing the laws, or abolish the office of commissioner of fisheries."

Crippled by Rheumatism.
Those who have Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed, by the doctors contain mercury and potash, which ultimately intensify the disease by causing the joints to swell and stiffen, producing a severe aching of the bones. S. S. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty years—even the worst cases which seemed almost incurable.
Capt. O. E. Hughes, the popular railroad conductor, of Columbia, S. J„ had an exneri-Uhcuiniui.-iii which convinced film that there is only one mm cure for that painful disease. llesiiys: "I was a great sufferer from musa a is two years. I could net no permanent relief from any medicine prescribed by my physician. I took about a dozen botties of your S. S. S.. and now 1 am as well us I ever was inmy life. Iam sure that your medicine cured me. and 1 would recommend it to any one suffering from any blood disease."
Everybody knows that Rheumatism is a diseased state of tho blood, and only a blood remedy is tho only proper treatment, but a remedy containing potash and mercury only aggravates the trouble.
S.S.S.rfheBlood
being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to the very cause of the disease and a permanent cure always results. It is the only Hood remedy guaranteed to contain no potash, mercury or other dangerous minerals.
