GOLDEN RULE.

THE ANCIENT FIDDLERS'

They Hold High Carnival at Aluaic llall and irnruisli Much Amusement for. .. a Large Audience.

The old fiddlers' contest was held at Mueic Hall Tuesday evening and was a gigantic success in every way. Something over two hundred people were turned away from the doors. Fiddlers were present frotn all the adjoining counties and Yeddo had an especially large delegation as did Fountain county. Balhinch sent in some old timers who also played "by ear" only and when the curtain went up on about fifty fiddlers all playing different airs, the house rose as one body and yelled till pandemonium reigned supremeAll the old time tusaes such as "Weevily Wheat," "Pop Goes the Weasel," "Arkansaw Traveler," "Devil's Hornpipe," "sally Went to the Mill," "Five Miles Out," and other ancient and time honored airs were played in all the variations imaginable and to the accompaniment of stamping feet and nodding heads. One of the fiddlers advancing to the footlights called to his sister to come upon the stage and show the people how to dance one of the old time hoe downs. After some persuasion on the part of Manager Townsley the lady in question was induced to come up and she gave an exhibition of the terpsichorean art that made the gallery gods go daft with delight. She was encored until she was almost overcome with nervous prostration in her efforts to please the fickle public. The entertainment was a magnificent success and the only discomfiting feature of the show to the manager, who hails from HillBboro, was that the revenue officer, who happened in town, made him take out a license at a cost of 84.20 to give the contests for the rest of the season.

Deatli of Thomas M, Raney.

Died, at Ottowa, Minn,, on Monday, Jan. 23, 1899, Thomas M, Raney, aged 73 years, 5 months and 6 days. He was born at Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 16, 1825, and was nearly 74 years of age at the time of his death. He was married Oct. 30, 1851, to Susanna Watson, now deceased, of this city. Their union was blessed with fourteen children, twelve of whom, four sons and eight daughters, are

liviDg.

He went

to Minnesota in May, 1855, settling on the homestead where the family now reside, and for years endured the hardships and privations incident to pioneer life in those days. He enlisted during the civil war in Co. B, 1st Reg. Minn. Vols., and served one year and was honorably discharged on account of illness. He was also among the number who went to New Ulm, Minn., dur ing the Indian outbreak and took part in quelling the disturbance. He was a member of the G. A. R. He was a man of sterling worth, strict integrity of character, a good citizen, a kind father, ever ready to answer a call for charity and to assist the needy. His departure will be felt by many. The funeral service were conducted by Rev. Harris and the Masonic order of Ottowa, of which he was a member and the remains were interred in the Ottowa cemetery. Mr. Ramey will be remembered by many of the older residents of this city and county.

An Kdltor's Life Saved by Chambgrlaln'B Cough Kennedy.

During the early part of October 189C, I contracted a bad cold", which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to ex pel something which I could not I became alarmed, and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the result was immediate improvement and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.—B.

AT THE POOR FARM.

Tlie Couuty Commissioners Visit the l'oor Farm Monday and Take an Inventory of Kvery thing

On Hand,

The county commissioners visited the county poor farm Monday and took dinner with Superintendent Myers and family. They found everything in first-class shape and after dinner took an inventory of the contents of the institution from a grubbing hoe to a self-binder. The invoice is an

Extensive

affair aud will be kept

as a matter of record. It includes among other things the following farm products:

1,500

200

bushels of corn,

bushels of oats,

300

bushels of

wheat, 10 tons of timothy hay, 0 tons of clover hay,

stock hogs,

sows,

one boar, one bull, two fat hogs, nine milk cows, four calves,

125

potatoes, and

bushels of

tubs of lard. Among

the household furniture are noted:

single beds and mattresses,

The pledge of the Democratic state platform, which the misrepresenta lives of the Democratic partv in the house have deliberately broken, was submitted to the leaders of the Damocracy of Indiana—to such men as Senator Turpie, the late Governor Matthews and others of that class—before its introduction in the platform committee. It was by them cordially approved. It was adopted by the committee without a dissenting vote. Not a voice was raised in the convention against it. The platform as a whole (and this plank especially) was warmly indorsed by the Democratic press of the state. Similar declarations were incorporated in many Democratic county platforms. And now the men whom the Democratic party sent to t.he legislature to fight the battles of the people, and promote the cause of good government, turn their backs upon these pledges, join forces with a brazen and corrupt lobby of tax eators jobbers, and the Sentinel

and refuses to be a party to this miserable confidence game.

Death

Mrs, Mary C. Cox.

Mrs. Mary C. Cox was born in Payette county, Ky., Jan. 16,1833. Wben five years old her parentB moved to Montgomery county, Indiana. For the past three months she has been aftlicted with some disorder of the brain and last Tuesday week was sent to the asylum at Indianapolis for treatment. Her chance for recovery was thought to be favorable, but Monday morning she suddenly passed away. Mrs. Cox was married to B. P. Cox on Jan. 25, 1855. Soon afterwards they moved to 213 west Pike street, which place has been their home ever since. Here she brought up her family of six children, only two of whom survive her, Mrs. J. A. Stanford and Mrs. J. V. Carter. In 1880 Mr. Cox died, leaving Mrs. Cox alone with the family and business cares. With what motherly solicitude and business tact she has shown in the performance of this trust her neighbors and friends can testify. She united with the Christian church at the age of 22 years, being at the time of her death one of the few now left who were connected with the church in its earlier years

The funeral services were conducted at the home at 1:30 p. Wednesday. Rev. Wallace Tharp, assisted by Rev. W. H. Kerr, officiated.

A Sad Accident.

The email son of John Ware, who lives east of Alamo, was the victim of a terrible accident at his home Sunday.

The Sentinel's l'OMlliou.

rtieeduurini ia the Indianapolis Seiitincl Tuesday concerning the position of E.ctioru aud the Democratic minority in reference to the reform bills is fine. It will raise that paper much in the estimation of the people regardless of party. We reproduce the best part of the editorial:

We are neither pained uor surprised to know that a number of Democrats in the house of representatives, who nave formally repudiated the platform and broken the pledges of their party regarding county ana township reform, do not approve the course of the Sentinel upon this question. Of course they don't. But, on that point, honors ar easy. The Sentinel does not approve of the course which these gentlemen under narrow and short-sighted lead ership, have pursued on this question. The Sentinel is a Democrat. It stands on Democratic platforms. It believes in the sacredness of party pledges. It preaches the same doctrines after election as before election. It is on the side of the tax payers ana of good government all the time. It regards with amazement the course which a majority of the Democrats of the house have pursued touching this matter. The record they have made is, the Sentinel frankly says, absolutely indefensible. So far as the Sentinel is concerned it will never attempt to defend it. The contract would be too heavy, even for this newspaper, with its great circulation and influence, to undertake.

COMFORTING WORDS TO WOMEN.

Heed. Mrs. Pinkham's Advice.

Woman's modesty is natural it is charming. To many women a full statement of their troubles to a male physician is almost impossible. The whole truth may be told to Mrs. l'inkharu because Shd is a woman, and her advice is freely offered to all women sufferers.

DEAII MRS.Pinkuam:—I wrote to you some time ago, telling you of my ills, but now I write to thank you for the good your remedies have done me. I have used two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, three packages of Sanative Wash, and ono box of Liver Pills, and to-day I call myself a well woman. I suffered with backache, constant headache, whites, sick' stomach, no appetite, could not sleep, and was very nervous. At time of menstruation was in terrible pain. Your medicine is worth its weight in gold. I never can say enough in praise of it. I have recommended it to many friends. If only all suffering women would try it. there would be more happy homes and healthy women. I thank you for the change your medicine has made in me.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Some of the Heirs Live llere.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice, have saved thousands of women from hospital operations. The lives of women are hard whether at home with a ceaseless round of domestic duties or working at some regular employment, their daily tasks make constant war on health. If all women understood themselves fully and knew how exactly and soothingly Lydia 13. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound acts on the female organs, there would be less suffering. Lydia E.

A Close Call.

Joe Galey, the milkman, had a close call for his life at the Walnut street crossing of the Big Four recently and he has not quit shaking yet. He was driving up the street and as the wagon was closed and making considerable racket he did not hear the approach of the train. Several persons saw his danger and endeavored to warn him but he did not perceive his danger until he was right upon the track. He had time to jerk the horses' beads back from in front of the engine, but the collar on the animal nearest the locomotive was scraped off and the harness badly damaged.

Will Have to He Examined.

The embalmers of the city have received letters stating that they will have to take an examination in order to ship the body of a person who had died of a contagious disease.

The examining board will convene in Indianapolis, Logansport and Washington and the day set for the examination is March 15.
