FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1809.

NOT a man died from disease duriDg the passage of the 16th infantry, 1,000 strong, across the Pacific. It has not taken Uncle Sam long to master the science of transporting troops by sea.

IK 1898 Canada's purchases from the United States amounted to $80,587,000 and its saleB to 835,460,000. Oanada is a good customer, but then the United StateB is the place to get one's money's worth.

SOME of the American soldiers in Luzon have fought Indians with the mercury at 40 below. On the whole they prefer their present job, though the treachery to contend with is about the same.

FOUB or five thousand Cuban Boldiers have received the gratuity of ?75 from the United States, and it is said this is but a fourth of the number who will come forward. Even then the Cuban army would dwindle to 20,000 under the actual count.

IT is admirable in Gen. Leonard Wood to turn his back on the offer of a Washington concern to pay him a princely salary for his services becaube he is needed at Santiago, but he must find life very lonesome if he depends on the fellows in public service for sympathetic and congenial friends.

CUBA would be foolish to choose a government on the Hayti plan. The representatives of Hayti are in New York-trying to raise 85,000 at 9 per cant interest, secured by custom house receipts. The lack of-confidence shown in Hayti would be even more marked in regard to a Cuban independent government.

MICHIGAN'S new anti-trust law, in addition to other civil and criminal penalties, provides that any person injured in his business by the operation of a trust shall recover a judgment for twice the damages sustained. At this rate the profits of the trust business so far aB Michigan is concerned bid fair to be reaped mainly from the outside.

If preacher Hinshaw, who iB serving a life sentence in the Michigan City penitentiary for the murder of his wife, is not gnilty, he muBt be a favorite of the Lord, who is chastening him to the uttermost degree. Two years •go a convict confessed that he and two others killed the woman, but the condemned husband WBB not released. ,jUfr ftow a second one of the trio has confessed.

FBANK 0. PINQBEE, brother of the governor of Michigan, and active manager of the shoe factory in which the governor of Michigan ia the principal owner, is reported as saying, concerning the lockout in the establishment: "We have stood a good deal from the unions on account of Governor Pingree's position in politics." Governor Pingree's brother seems to be engaged in letting the cat out of the bag. He could hardly have made it plainer that the head of the house has been playing the demagogue for the last six or eight years simply to win the friendship of the laboring classes. When his firm is asked to practice what the senior partner preaches there iB a complaint. Might it not be more properly called a squeal?

THAT INDIANA DECISION. Toledo Blade: The anti-trust deci sion of the Indiana supreme court is of importance, because it Bets forth definitely that state courts may annul the charter of any corporation created Tinder that state's laws, if it abuses itB privileges by seeking to prevent competition, or by discriminating against any individuals. It holds that the equity powers of the courts are ample to do this, even in the absence of specific legislation.

The decision was rendered in the case of two gas companies which consolidated in order to prevent competition. An 'agreement between them was made whereby they charged the same rates for gas, and each refused to sell gas to a consumer who quit the other company. Suit was brought to annnl their charters, on the ground that they were abusing the corporate rights conferred by the state by combining against consumers.

The decision of the court lays down *he principle that "whatever act destroys competition, or even relaxes it, upon the part of those who sustain relations to the public, is regarded by the law as injurious to public interests, and is therefore deemed to be un­

lawful on the grounds of public policy." There is now away open in any state to proceed against such combinations. All that is necessary is to go into the courts, and bring proof of combination for the purpose of checking or abolishing competition. For it is not to be doubted that what is equity in Indiana is equity in any other state.

SUNATOR BEVERIDGE. Indiana's junior senator has caused newspaper comment from one end of the country to the other by hiB trip to the Philippines, showing his determination to be thoroughly posted on what is destined to be the leading issue in 1900—expansion. The Army and Navyl Journal recently said: "Much was said at the time of the recent election of United States Senaator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, of his unwillingness to approach the discussion of any momentous theme without a thorough preparation. This trait he is showing by making extensive travels in the Philippine Islands. He will doubtless be able to give to the discussion of our policy in the Philippines at the next session of congress opinionsfthat will be worth serious consideration. While other statesmen] are fleeing to the seashore and to (Europe, Senator Beveridge is.«putting himself in personal touch with the most important situation this country has had to face in a generation and which demands more accurate information than the average congressman is likely to possess when his turn comes next December to open upon the defenders of the flag the full might of his lungs, which in power are too often in inverse ratio to the intelligence«behind them."

The Brockton, Mass.,\Times sajs: "Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, will have a material advantage over his collogues when he enters upon his duties at Washington next winter. While the other members of the upper chamber of congress have been passing their vacation season in various ways on this side of the world, he has been busy in the Philippines, studying conditions there and preparing himself for the intelligent discussion of Oriental problems. He has just returned to Manila from a trip among the southern islands, which are likely to prove of increased interest at any time in the future. It will be much to have a senator fresh from Mindanao and Negros on hand in the capitol to consult if a formidable insurrection breaks out there or if a system of insular government is proposed. Mr. Beveridge now

goeB

to make a tour of

China, seeing that our dealings with that country are bound to be augmented in the future. He is our youngest senator, but there are not many with longer heads or a more satisfactory conception of the duty they owe the public."

There is every reason to believe that Beveridge will immediately take a high rank in public life and before many years become one of the commanding figures of the nation.

THE Japanese diet has passed a measure providing for the state ownership and operation of all the railroads in the country, the government remaining neutral in the discussion and none of the ministers being present when the vote was taken. A committee is now considering the sum to be paid the present holders, which is likely to be on the basis of from twenty to twenty-five times the present annual net profits, aggregating from 870,000,000 to 885,000,000. Japan will henceforward own and manage her entire railway system, probably to the improvement rather than to the detriment of her finances, and to the utilities in peace and war of the service. France, Germany, Italy and Russia have afforded her the example, which she haB taken in her customary pliant oriental manner and improved upon.

IT IS BIGHT

For an Editor to Becommend Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. 0.: It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of Buffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and

uBed

this medicine in our

family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many caBes the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.

Probably On the Bank* of the Wabash In Good Old Indiana.

By the first national census, taken in 1790 when the population of the country was not much greater than of New York city to-day, the center of population was twenty-three mileB east of Baltimore. It was still in the neighborhood of Baltimore, though to the west of that city, in 1800. In 1810 it was near Washington, in 1820 it was at Woodstock, Va and in 1830, 1840 and 1850 in the present state of West Virginia. In 1860 it was a little to the Bouth of Chillicothe, O., this being the first official appearence of Ohio as the center of the population, though it haB remained the political center of population steadily ever since.

In 1870 the center of the population was on a line in Ohio between Chillicothe and Cincinnati in 1880 it was in the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and in 1890, the year of the laBt national census, it was in Decatur county, Indiana, and on a line between Cincinnati and Indianapolis. The government estimate of the present population of the United States, exclusive of countries over which its sovereignty has been extended, was 75,000,000 on June 1, and all sections of the country have participated, though not equally, in the growth of population since 1890, when it was 62,600,000.

By the coming census the Ohio and Mississippi valley states will probably be shown to have gained less from direct foreign immigration than in any previous decade, while the citizens of the Middle and New Eogland states have, relatively, gained uiore. There has been a substantial increase in population, larger, probably, than in any period since the close of the civil war, in the southern and south border states, and a much larger increase those of the southwest, most notably in Texas, the total vote of which increased from 230,000 in 1880 to 340,000 in 1890 and 550,000 in 1896. The population of Texas (2,200,000 in 1890) is probably near 3,600,000.

A state census taken of Kansas in. 1895, on the other hand, showed the population of the state to be less than in 1890, while in the same period the population of New Jersey had increased 16 per cent. Between 1890 and 1895 the population of Florida increased from 390,000 to 405,000, while the population of South Dakota (328,000 in 1890) was returned as 330,000 five years later.

The growth of population in American states between 1890 and 1900 will be in accordance with the increase of the urban population in each rather than with the gain in agriculture districts. As a majority of the cities are in the north, it appears likely that the "center of population" in 1900 will be on or near the banks of the Wabash in the state of Indiana, at some point northwesterly from the present center and nearer the Illinois than the Ohio state line.

LINDEN.

The ladies of the Christian church at their supper two weeks ago in the old drug store building cleared something over 840.

The basement for the foundation of the new Christian church was dug last week and the brick masons will soon begin work.

Brily Douglass and wife took dinner at Joe Rickey's last Sunday and C. T. Lee and wife Sundayed with friends at Indianapolis.

Our town gave the Marsden Company a ten years release from taxes a few days ago. Is the Marsden Cellulose Company better than our freehold citizene?

The remonstrance against another man getting a licen6b to run a saloon in Linden was successful. The best building in town should not be used for a saloon.

The prospec for workingmen here seem to be good and from present indications work will be plentiful. Then we will 6ee if those claiming to want work are in earnest.

James DeLong, of Indianapolis, was with our merchants on last Monday and drove from here to New Richmond, Wingate, Newtown, Mellott, Stone Bluff, Rob Roy and Attica.

Jesse Goben & Son, it is said, will turn the old Christian church into a livery and feed barn. It is on Vine street, east of Hotel Linden, in a good location and will draw some patronage.

Doctor Dingman has something on the back of his neck. Who knows but what it is pole evil, for it comes very close to the top of the head. Anyway it gives the Dofetor lots of achea and pains. It is said to be some kind of erysipelas.

The healthy men that do not belong to some of the secret orders in our town are not very numerous, yet there are a few that do not nor never have belonged to any order and eome that think more of them than they do of the churches.

The wheat.harvest was slim in these parts. ^Many farmers had none to cut. Most of it was plowed up and either put in oats or plowed under, making

NOTICED THIS BEFORE.

You Probably Have and May Have Spoken About It.

The reader of this newspaper, if he takeB the time and trouble to look carefully through itB columns, will probably find half a dozen statements tacked on to the foot of reading notices about medicinal preparations. Note thiB fact. In each and every caGe, aB far as Crawfordsville is concerned, aB far as the reader's knowledge is concerned, he might just aB well live in the moon. Make another note of this. The only remedy on the market which gives testimony at home, local proof in every town in the union to back up itB claims, is Doan's Kidney Pills. They all try it, but they cannot do it. Why they are unable to do it can safely be left to the reader to draw his own conclusions. Here is Crawfordsville proof for OrawfordBville readers:

Miss A. Atkinson, of 904 west Market street, says: "I had a weak back all my life caused by disordered kidneys. At times I bad sucb pains in my loins that I was almost laid up. The last of June, 1897, I had one of those bad spells and it was at that time I first learned about Doan's Kidney Pills. I went to Moffett & Morgan's drug store and got a box, taking them according to directions. I soon felt better by the time I had used the last pill I was entirely relieved, and have not been troubled since. I have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to a number of my friends and shall continue to do so."

Doan's Kidney PillB are for sale by all dealers price 50 cents a box. Mailed on receipt of price by FosterMilburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

Remember the name—Doan's—and take no other.

united in marriage at her home by Rev. T. C. Shanklin. The bride and groom will remain with the widow of C. W. White and they will be company for the old lady.

The colored folks held meetings last Sunday in White's Grove. A large crowd attended as the singing and speaking was good. But a good crowd of people went to the children's day exercises just the same as. though there had been no meeting.

The assistant general superintendent of the Marsden Company has been here for some days and the office is in fine condition for the civil engineer to occupy. The old junction house will be moved away or torn down and the ground made level with the railroad track.

The citizens spent the gloriouB Fourth ic many ways and in as many different places. Some went to Meharry's Grove, some to the Star City, and some were visiting on half fare rates. For our part we are glad when the fire crackers have all been Bhot off, for the boys never grow tired of shooting them.

The Modern Woodmen of America and the Maccabees are on the boom in our town, as well as the I. O. O. F. and F. and A. M. All seem to be in good working order. There is} talk of organizing a K. of P. lodge here. Do the people know when they overdo the secret order business? Not until it is too late.

The I. O O. F. members of Linden Lodge conferred the second degree on two members on last Saturday night and other business which held them until a late hour. The installation of the new officers will take place on Saturday night and two members will take the third degree and likely some old members will ba reinstated.

The time is near at hand when laboring men can have all the work they can do, as the Marsden company are preparing to commence work leveling the ground and erecting buildings. Linden is Burely in it and a big boom will come. Let it come, we are ready.

Will Keeney has bought a lot in Kelaey's addition and is having his cellar walls made of rock, also the foundation walls built of nigger heads and will have the largest foundation in the west part of Linden. Hope Thewlis has his dwelling ready to occupy. Mrs. Ed Pixley's house iB complete. Ed Layton has hiB house ready to plaster. Kirt Thewlis has his dwelling ready to lath and plaster.
