ARTMAN NOT A CANDIDATE.
Lebanon Man Says He Assume* Land is Will Be Renominated for Congress,
The Indianapolis Sentinel says: "Representative Artman, of Lebanon, one of the strongest Republican members of the last house, was in the city yesterday. His friends have been insisting that he would make a good candidate for congress in the Ninth district. 'I assume,'said Mr. Artman, 'that Mr. Landis will be renominated. In all events I shall not be a candidate.'"
KIGHT AND THE FARMERS.
An Insurance Agent Sues Two Montgomery County Men.
Indianapolis Journal: Yesterday morning John F. Kight, an agent of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, filed a complaiot in the superior court against William A. Buchanan and John Martz, two Montgomery county farmers, and the State Life Insurance company, of this cltv, demanding a return by the insurance company of certain premiums that had been paid by the Montgomery county farmers on policies that they had assigned to Kight. A little later in the day each of the Montgomery county farmers filed suit in th'i circuit court against Kijrht and the Eqj'.tablti fe Assurance s'ojlety, alleging a conspiracy tu defraud thtsrn and demanding the cancellation of certain policies in tbe defendant society and the return of money paid to Kight as its agent. In the first cooiplaint it is alleged by Mr. Kight that each of the Montgomery county men mentioned held a $5,000 policy in tbe State Life Insurance company, and that later these policies were assigned to him. He also alleges that these policies were issued by the State Life Insurance company before its reorganization, last February, under^he new law passed by the last legislature, authorizing the incorporation of legal reserve life insurance companies in this state, and that „since the reincorporation of the company the old company is unable to carry out its contracts Because of this alleged inability to fulfill its contracts, Mr. Kight demanded the return of the premiums paid by Buchanan and Martz, amounting to $414 65.
The other two complaints put an entirely different light on the matter. William A. Buchanan and John Martz are brothers-in-law and farmers, living near Darlington, Montgomery county. Their complaints charge that John F. Kight came to them as a representative of the Equitable Life Assurance Society and said "that a great many suits had been brought by different persons against the State Life Insurance company, that judgments had been recovered thereon, that in a short time the company would be compelled to go out of business, that the State Life Insurance company had no valid deposit of securities with the auditor of state, as required by law, that its financial condition ,and standing were such that it did not dare to litigate or fight or in any manner refuse to pay and refund the policy holders the unearned premium upon policies when presented and siich payment demanded." The complaints further state that other representations of the insolvent and irresponsible condition
No Torture Equal to the Itching anil Burning ot This Fearful Disease.
of the State Life Insurance company were made by Kight, and that because they believed these statements made by Kight they were induced by him to surrender to him their policies in the State Life Insuranca company and make application for insurance in the Equitable Life Assurance society. Tbe consideration for these new policies was the surrender to Kight of the old ones and a cash payment made by each of the two men. The complaints further allege that the State Life Insurance company is perfectly solvent and able to fulfill its contracts, and declare that none of the representations made by Kight in regard "to its irresponsible condition i6 true. Be% cause of these facts the plaintiff in each of theBe two suits demands that the Equitable Life Assurance society be compelled to accept the cancellation of its policy and that Kight return the policy held by him under assignment, and also the money paid to him as premium for the Equitable society. The plaintiff also asks judgment against both the defendants for such an amount of damages as will compensate him for the wrongs described and the expenses incurred because of them.
These suits have caused considerable talk among the insurance men and attorneys. It is said that when the trials come there will be developments of a sensational nature.
SNAP SHOTS OF TRENCHES.
Private O'R-elllj-'s Contempt For Filipino Marksmanship.
RAW AS BEEF FROM ECZEMA!
"Tell mother not to worry, for the niggsrs r.I vrys s/root high." In tb?s cnusoPni' i:i!-him 15. f!. O'Reilly. a private in Oi-ipuiiy ot" the Fourth United infantry, wrote on St. Patrick's rlnv last to liis father, who received the letter the other day at his home in Chicago. In spite of the assnrance Mrs. O'Reilly continues to worry, for she believes that a habit that her son has of taking photographic views of the Filipino trenches at short range is not conducive to safety, and she has written to the young .soldier begging him to restrain his enthusiastic zeal in this direction.
In his letter Private O'Reilly says: "We came into the bay on the 10th and, passing in, saw tbe wrecks of the Spanish fleet at Cavite. We were towed up the Pas.ig river anjl landed on a dock near Luneta. Then we inarched down this fashionable boulevard past the old walled city, and after dinner Companies and etarted for the firing lino. We marched through the center of the city, and it was a sight to see. There is a sort of reign of terror here, and no soldier is allowed to anywhere without a six shooter and a rifle. The city is full of Filipinos, and there is some kind of an outbreak every night. After leaving the city we began to see what war was like, and we passed mile after mile where there was not a house left standing—all ashes and desolation. We were marched into what used to be the little town of Caloocan and camped about half a mile back of the firing line. C. and I were at once put on guard at headquarters, which is a large church. Many bullets struck the church during the night, but none came very near us. The nest day we were relieved and got permission from the captain to go cn the firing line, which is held by the Twentieth Kansas, reputed to be the bravest regiment here. They are the finest looking lot of soldiers I have seen.
"We staid at this camp, and as we went to the trenches every day I made friends of many of the boys. One of theiri made me a very valuable present —a piece of a flag captured by the Filipinos from the Spaniards and then taken from the Filipinos by the Kansas boys. I have been wearing it as a necktie, but I will send it home. I got a fine
Not much attention is often paid to the first symptoms of Eczema, but it is not long before the little redness begins to itch ana burn. This is but the beginning, and will lead to suffering and torture almost unendurable. It is a common mistake to regaad. a roughness and ,redness of the skin as merely a local irritation it is but an indication of a humor in the blood—of terrible
Eczema—which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local applications of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself, the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through the blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersville, Ind., writes: "I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke into a running.sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to tak^ S. S. S., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. 8. 8., the sore healed up entirely, the skin becamo clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly."
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic. Swift's Specific—
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—Is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan not reach. It goes to the bpttom—to the cause of the disease—and will cure the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It ia the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Sbrofula, Contagious Blood1 Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, etc. Insift upon S. 8. 8. nothing can tato its place. -J

I'm thinking some of poetry it's such an easy thing To find some words that rhyme a bit, as string and bring and sing. And put them down on paper, with some other ones, you know. And fix them round in order while you watch the poem grow. They tell you of the fellows, though, who get them all sent back With little printed nonces, "Enclosed does merit lack." But they will treat me different—they will scan the paying rate When I go down and tell them I'm a college graduate.
1 don't think much of business, though—there is too small a sphere, And then they always start you ovt and pay you year by year. You do not get the chance, you know—the chance you might, have had If you iiad waited longer or perhaps gone in with dad.
