HAVE YOU GOT TROUBLES

Of Your Own?—If Not, Listen to Oth' crs' Troubles—If You Have, See If Y6ur Trouble is Like Oth^ er People's Troubles.

There are some kinds of trouble that are unavoidable. Then, again, there is trouble thai is easily avoided if you know how to do it. Here is a true statement of Mrs. M. Langton, of 2021 Hanna street, Logansport, Ind., telling of her trouble and how she got entirely over it. She says, "I am well aware everyone has trouble without listening to mine, but I hope by telling mine I shall instruct others how to avoid theirs. For ten years at least, I have had more trouble with my back than can well be expressed on paper. It began with kidney backache. I paid little attention to it at first, but 1 see now where I made the mistake The trouble increased and urinary disturbances followed. The urine was excessive in quantity, highly colored, of a strong odor and contained so much uric acid as to cause a burning sensation in its passage. Then 1 had sharp, Bhooting pains and swelling of the limbs which became very painful. For the past five or six years several dsctors have treated me for my trouble without arresting the progress of the disease. They knew what the trouble was and pronounced it kidney complaint. One doctor said ho could do nothing for me and advised me to make my "will." When I arrived at this stage I became very anxious and tried any and everything I could hear of. Some time ago I read about and tried Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. The recommends were so high that I procured and used them strictly according to directions. After the first box was used I grew less nervous and I rested well at night, which is something I had not experienced for six months. I am now on the third box and the help has been so great that I am glad to continue using them believing that a have found a genuine cure. With all indications I shall soon be well. I deBire my friends to write to me and learn more about the wonderful remedy, Morrow's Kid-ne-oids."

This statement is convincing enough for the worst skeptic in Crawfordsfordsville. Write to Mrs. Langton and see for yourself. Kid-ne-oids are Yellow Tablets (not pills) and are sold by all first clasB druggists and at Geo. W. Steele's drug store at 50 cents a box. Accept no remedy "just as good" for there is none.

Oak Hill. THEBE is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far aB we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

FROM WALTER ROSEBRO-

He Tells of Soldier Life as It in Manila.

He Finds

Hon. W. H. Ragan, of Greencastle, has received a letter from Walter Rosebro, written at Manila early in January. Walter writes in part: "The different regiments in Manila are located in various parts of the city. Some are in large warehouses, some in the residence of the ex-governor general, some in the barracks previously occupied by the Spanish troops, and a few of the latest arrivals have to content themselves with tents. All of them have canvaB or bamboo cots to sleep on and each cot is provided with a canopy of mosquito netting, without which sleep would be impossible, the little pests being

bad. The mos

quitoes are no larger than the Hoosier variety, but they are more numerous and very much more vicious. Then, too, their bite seems to be more poisonous, often causing painful

Bores.

"The quarters are swept out twice a day and scrubbed well once a week regularly. Everything must be clean and tidy no paper or litter allowed scattered about the floor, clothes folded neatly and laid on a shelf, and guns kept in racks made for that purpose. One must not spit on the floor, wear his shoes while lying on his bunk, engage in noisy conduct or wear his hat while in quarters under penalty of arrest and a term in the guard house. All eating must be done out of doors on tables erected under some trees near our kitchen. "There is a bath house with forty shower and four large cement tubs with water running night and day. The men bathe often and if one neglects this very important matter he is reminded of his remissness by one of his officers. There iare, in a backyard, three zinc lined troughs each about fifty feet long, where you may do your own laundrying. However, you can get your washing done for five cents a piece, or for a month for from fifty cents to one dollar and a half, but you must run the risk of occasionally having a garment lost. Very little of the laundrying is done by the Chinese, the natives having almost a monopoly of the business. Most of the work is done by the women, though the men quite often help at it, too. As a rule, the work is quite satisfactory and so far as I know the people are strictly honest in their dealings with the soldiers, returning everything found in pockets, etc.

In our quarters there are quite a number of banana trees that have formed fine backgrounds for the different companies when they have had their photographs taken. Bananas are the one fruit that predominates, and they are the finest that I ever tasted. There are many varieties, many that I never saw before. The prices are ridiculously low, too, the best never Belling for more than one cent apiece, and more frequently for one-half cent. You have seen banana trees, but you cannot imagine the many uses to which they can be put. The fruit sustains life and the fibre makeB a very fair quality of cloth. A corner of the leaf forms ^a very satis factory cigar holder, a larger piece makes a fair musical instrument in the hands, or rather at the lips, of a per son who understands how to use it by the twist of the wrist a cup is formed capable of holding water for an indefinite period. In the market goods are often wrapped in banana leaves for purchasers, and finally, I have

natives use the whole leaf as an um breila for protection from either the sun or rain. "Speaking of rain reminds me that I have told you nothing of the weather. It rained right along after our ar rival up to and through November and hard at timeB, too. According to pub liBhed reports the dry season should have commenced in September or by the first of October at the latest. In fact we even had a few showers during December. We have had some very hot weather, that is it seemed hot and oppressive but it was in reality not the heat but the humidity of the atmosphere that made it so oppressive The mercury has never yet to my knowledge reached ninety degrees in the shade, and for the most part it was from two to four degrees lower than that. We usually have a !good breeze from the sea but when that fails it is quite oppressive during the hours of midday. "Just now we are having delightful weather, it being the coolest season of the year, a great deal like it is in Indiana in Maycor June. From 10 a. m. until 3 p, m. it is very warm in the sun but at night it is cool and pleasant, in fact about a week ago it was so cool at night that one blanket was not enough to keep one warm, the first time since I was two nights out of San

Francisco. The hottest season of the year is March, April, May and June, when we may expect things to fairly boil."

GEN. WALLACE AS A PROPHET.

He Peers Into the Twentieth Century and Tells What the Political and Literary Conditions Will Be.

A recent number of the Ram's Uorti contains an interview with General Lew Wallace, a part of which we reproduce below: "Longing to learn the famous writer's views in respect to some of the great men, books and battles of the past, I asked: 'Who is your favorite novelist?' 'Sir Walter Scott,' he answered at once. 'What is your favorite novel?' 'Ivanhoe,' said he. 'And your favorite poem?' 'Idylls of the King.' 'What do you consider the sub* limest poetry in the world, General Wallace?' 'You will find it in the Psalms and Job, in Homer, in Milton and in Shakespeare.' 'Who, in your judgment, are the three greatest warriors the world has produced?' 'Alexander, Ciuaar, Napoleon.' 'What were some of the greatest battles in the world's history?'

The battle of Thermopylae, which saved Greece from being overthrown by Persia. The battle of Tours, which Baved Europe from being overpowered by the Mohammedans. The battle of Waterloo, resulting in the defeat of Napoleon, who was seeking a universal dominion. Lastly, I would name Gettysburg, which saved the union upon which everything pertinent to the western hemisphere depends, not to speak of the overthrow of slavery.' "'Who, in your opinion, General, were the greatest American statesmen?' I asked in conclusion. 'George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Alexander Hamilton is, in my judgment, the father of the American constitution. But that constitution would never have been adopted save for the support given it by the great name of George Washington.' "Amazed at the penetration of the sage before whom I sat with increasing admiration, I thanked him most heartily for his answers. However, one final favor I craved and at last obtained. I requested this marvelous leader, who has been at the forefront of life's battle for half a century and has won his spurs on fields of such diverse character, to peer into the mysterious future and tell our readers what visions met his gaze. I asked first for a forecast of the£literature of the twentieth century, with especial regard to the novel.

General Wallace paced back and forth over the cement floor in silence for several moments. Finally he said: 'To begin with, the novel of the next century will reflect the life of that age, unless the society

ren and devoid of interest that writers will be compelled to seek material in former eras. Certain authors will always follow the latter course, but an increasing number will ground their narrativ6B in the activities of the day.' 'What, then, are the elements that will play leading parts in the drama of the future? Labor is one,' said he with emphasis. 'The American workingman will have things his own way, but there is no cause for alarm, for he i3 to be the volt that will save our country. Our great middle classes, those neither rich nor poor, are no longer ignorant. The public schools have given them a founded education. These intelligent, wide-awake people are to-day the strength and the hope of the nation. The dangerous classes are to be found in English-aping millionaires, who spend the greater part of their time on the water in their yachts, who have summer palaces in Newport, who belong to the fashionable 'four hundred' or the 'faat set.' These are the TorieB of to-day. On the other hand, who are the leaders in the strikes and labor troubles? Ignorant foreigners, almost without exception.

I repeat it: the American workman will pilot our nation through '.the storms of the next century, nd his government will be good.' 'Another important factor in mold ing life will be better education in all departments of activity. Another influence rapidly gaining in power is journalism while Christianity will be the leaven that will leaven the whole lump.' 'I would advise the writer who wishes to achieve the largest success in portraying current conditions, to go down, live among the laboring classes, and get his material at first hand.' 'And what of the poetry of the future?' I asked. 'Modern poetry,' he replied, 'I am in the habit of calling the poetry of adjectives. The abnormal predominance of thi6 form of speech in the poetry of to-day I consider its chief curse. It renders the thought obscure and hazy. In Browning, we see the climax of this fad. The finest poetry every written is found in the books of

Job, and you will notice that it contains very few adjectives.' "So saying, Gen. Wallace walked over to his study table, opened a large Bible lying thereon, and turning the Psalms, read several verses.

did so. The effect was most ludicrous. The sublimity of the sentiment was degraded into Bounding brass, while I was led to perceive as never before the true grandeur of the thought and skill found in the word of God. 'Another fault of modern poetry is its monotonousness. It isjall pitched in the same key. This is opposed to the entire course of nature, and it soon wearies the reader. The working up of a climax is well nigh unknown. As there are mountains and plains, as the wind blows soft and fierce, so the poet should sometimes pausebefore a sweeping passage of eloquence. The secret of grand poetry lies in this single line: great thoughts expressed in simple words.'".

Were Fined.

Last Saturday in 'Squire Stilwell'B court Joseph Smith andEd McMullen, of Pawnee, were fined for fighting. The fight occurred last December and the men were then arrested and taken before a squire in the south end of the county. They each gave thisv dignitary a dollar, however, and* so squared the matter with him.£3 When they were arreBted and summoned for trial in Stil well's court they went to the speculative squire of the south end and he very obligingly refunded their money.

This Looks Like Prosperity.

It may be a matter of interest to some people to know that there is now on deposit in the threefbanks of Crawfordsville considerably over one million dollars subiect to check. How much more there is in the community no one can tell, as many people never bank their money. The deposits in the other eight banks of the county are also very large. Yet two years ago we were told that there was not enough money in the country to do the business.

Buried at Siiiartgburq

Samuel McFeeley, who died on last Wednesday at Colfax, was buried at the Smartsburg cemetery Friday, The deceased was 55 years of age and was iwell known in this county.
