AMERICAN farmer: It is estimated that over 250,000,000 tons of cornstalks are produced in this country, and that 160,600,000 tons of them are wasted. For the purpose of making cellulose, the market price of come talks is about 86 per ton, that is, where there is a factory and a demand. Accordingly, the wasted cornstalk product would have a possible value of $900,000,000 annually, or thereabouts. But this sort of figuring, which we find in an agricultural contemporary, reminds us of the old comparison between the value of a pound of steel in bars and its value in watch springs. It does not take much Bteel to make all the watch springs the world uses, and to line all the battleships in the world with cellulose would Btill leave a large part of the crop of cornstalks to be "wasted" or returned to the soil where it IB not wastedtbyany meanB.
THE
New York Times calls attention
to the fact that "the enlistments for the newest regiments to be sent to the Phillipines are most rapid in Missouri and Massachusetts," and adds that this 6ugge6ts, in the states named, "an ignorance of or indifference to anti-ex-pansion agitation." This is a circumstance, which is certainly calculated to disturb the expansionists. As a consequence none of them are referring to the big contributions which Missouri, in which Bland's district is situated, and Massachusetts, in which Atkinson and Garrison reside, are making to the forces which are preparing to subvert Aguinaldo.
THE action of Secretary Root in sending General Theodore Schwan, who, in addition to having a reputation as one of the best executive officers in the army is also a good lawyer, to the Philippines as chief of staff and principal assistant to the military governor, means that General Otis, who has also been given a number of additional staff officers, is to have more time to devote to the purely military movements of the coming campaign. It should also put a stop to the constantly reiterated Btories intimating an intention either to relieve General Otis or to put some other officer in command of the fighting. There has never been any intention on the part of tbe President or Secretary Root to do either.
previous high records probably
will be broken by the corn crop pro' duction of the United States of 1899. A canvass of the eight states which raise the balk of the corn of the United States warrants an estimate above that of 1896, which heretofore has been the record, and there is much in the advices received to justify a prediction that the crop will approximate 2,500,000,000 bushels.
The first corn crop of the country to reach in round numbers 2,000,000,000 bushels was that of 1885. Including the crop now to be harvested, only nine crops of 2,000,000,000 bushels or over have been produced. The crop for the four great corn states is thus estimated: Kansas -.840,000,000 Nebraska ..810,000,000 Iowa., 260,000,000 Illinois 230,000,000
If these figures are to be changed it is likely they will be enlarged.
AN article in the Indianapolis Seriti nel some days ago, says that Col. Hen ry S. Lane never made a speech in congress while be was a member of that body. The Sentinel's memory 1B greatly at fault. Oliver H. Smith, in his "Reminiscences" sajs of Senator Lane: "While in congress he made many characteristic speeches, well re membered by those who Berved with him. Among them wan one in reply to the attack of Judge Dean, of Ohio, on General Harrison, which I have not been able to find." Mr. Smith then quotes a large part of a very noted speech delivered by Colonel Lane in criticism of Tyler'B administration, which shows in a striking manner the characteristics of Colonel Lane's ora' tory. It is full of sarcasm, eloquence, and indicates reasoning power of a high order. It was in this speech that Qolonel Lane so severely criticized Daniel Webster for remaining in Tyler's cabinet after all the other mem' bars had resigned. It is much to be regretted that most of the thrilling speeches delivered by Colonel Lane, both in and out of congress. *re lest to the present and future generations. He took no pride in preserving his printed speeches.

THE END OF THE WORLD.
A Synopsis of the Interesting Sermon Delivered By Dr. Tbarp, of the Christain Chnrch, Sunday
Evening.
Dr. Tharp delivered hiB sermon on The End of the World" Sunday evening at the Christian church. The great congregation that assembled to hear it was attestation of the interest of the people. Besides hundreds from Crawfordsville there were delegations present from the adjoining towns and many who sought to gain admission were unable to do so. The following is a synopsis of the address: "I will take as a starting point and pre-text Matt. 24: 14-16, and will read in apparent contradiction tbe words found in the 36th verse of the same chapter. I greet a great congregation to-night. May our convocation be pleasing to God and helpful to us. Permit me one word of 'special, personal pleading:' I do not believe I am a fanatic or a frothy, syllajjub of a zealot. I know I am not a fool. What did I mean, then, by selecting such a theme, and laying a chronical limit to the duration of the regime of Jesus under the present conditions? Furthermore, I am not a Sabbatarian, or a Seventh Day Adventist, as some have seen fit to charge. Please be assured of this. You may rate me a fanatic, or a fool if you will, but excuse me, please, from being a Sabbatarian. The making of this sermon to-night is no choice of mine. In the course of an argument and in the presentation of gospel motives I had occasion twice since I have been here to make the statement that in my opinion we are
approaching the end of the gcBpel dis-' pensation, and the introduction of the millenium and placed the date of this wonderful and startling event to be synchronous with the second coming .of Jesus—and that this would be within the period between A. D. 1910 and 1915. This statement of mine, was reported in the local and state papers, and copied into others of the leading papers of the country. I was immediately beBieged by letters and personal appeals to make a sermon in which I should give the data upon which I based my opinion. This I accepted to do, notwithstanding that I understood perfectly well that I should be subjected to the possibility of being charged with being a Sabbatarian or a religiouB crank. I had thought, however, that my 'daily walk and conversation' since I have lived in your city would have protected me against the charge of dishonesty or sinister scheming. I am happy, however, that thus far I have escaped being affected to any appreciable degree by any of these comments or criticisms. My commission is from the hand of Je6us and I call no other Lord or Master. If I please him to-night I shall be satisfied. If I shall be able to fix a serious thought in your hearts and cause you to pause and ponder, I shall have done well and God will say 'well done I wish to affirm, in the first place, that Jesus will come again sometime.
Upon thiB I entertain no shadow of a doubt. To those who accept the Bible as God's revealed will to man, especially to those who accept the New Testament, the following passages put the question forever at rest: Acts 1: 9-19, Matt. 24: 30, I Thess. 4: 16, Rev. 1:7. These, with numberless other references in both of the Testaments, forever fix the faith of the child of God in Jesus' second coming. I am not more profoundly convinced of the truth concerning any fact in the world's history than I am upon the prophecy of the second coming of our Lord. And when He comes some unutterably glorious things will accompany that coming, and will attend up on and ensue it. I name them: First, There will be the sounding of the laBt trumpet, which will awaken the dead and start the angelic orchestra in the wildest extravaganza ears ever heard. Read I Cor. 15: 52, I These. 4: 16. Second, there will be the raising of the dead I Cor. 15: 52. Third, a great mystery will be discovered I Cor. 15:

51-52, Fourth, Satan will be bound and sin driven from the earth Rev. 20:1-5. Fifth, the holy city will descend Rev. 21: 2. Sixth, the millenium will be introduced Rev. 20: 2, 5. How absolutely impossible is it for the mind of man to conceive, much" less the tongue of a man to describe, the transcendental glories and wonders of such a scene.
We are HOW ready to approach the question of 'when?' When will all this occur? And full in the face of any effort to locate the time, we have the statement of jTesus in Matt. 24: 36, 'But of that day and hour knoweth no man no, not the angels of heaven, but my father only.' Indeed, the day or hour 1B known to no man or angel. Yet, in another place, this same Jesus says: Matt. 16: 1-3, 'Obi ye hypocrites, you can dissern the face of the sky but can ye not discern the signs of timeB?' There are to be some signs, and certain things were to take place before JeBus should come. I maintain that some of these signs and some of these things are now and shortly have been, and that they point* to an early return of the son of God. Let us notice some of these things, things that are to take place before the coming of Jesus. First of all, I note that there are to be Bigna in the heavenly region, on the earth, and on the sea. Read Luke 21:25-28 Matt. 24:6-14. Second, there are to be national irregularities, Rom. 11: 25-26. Here Jews and the Gentiles are considered. A pertinent sign also 1B the great Jewish movement now being agitated and meeting with BO much favor with this race, of getting back to Palestine, andiof rehabilitating Jerusa-
lem and restoring it its ancient grandeur and magnificence. Then in Matt. 24:7, and in confirmation of this passage I read in a cablegram from Cairo that the river Nile is at the lowest point ever recorded and still falling, This recalls that India is suffering from long-continued drouth, and that famine prevails because of crop failures in Russia. Also reports state that while heavy rains have fallen in the provinces of Central India, the Statist says that in Madras, Bombay, Rajpu tana, much of the Punjaub, and the western portions of the northwest provinces and of the Ouderain is greatly needed to save the standing crops. Even if good showers fell the latter part of September, of which there has been no mention, the season must be a bad one, and if there is not suffering there will not be much for export The lailure of the monsoon warned the country that drouth waB impend ing, and it is feared the government will have trouble in collecting
itB
rev'
enues. However, this is nothing in comparison to the famine which is
Bald
to be impending. With a famine in Russia and famines threatened in jSgypt and India the Old World is drinking deep of the cup of woe that attends these old civilizations. Drouth along the Nile valley will produce great suffering and the Indian outlook is no better. This statement has been made in all the great metropolitan newspapers. And in this connection it will be noted that Irl Hicks, one of tbe world's greatest astronomical gen iuses, has predicted that in 1900 will begin a drouth which will last two years and that will be far-reaching in its influence. This, if true, will be sign not to be lightly disregarded by thinking people. Third, there was to be a great increase of knowledge, and facility for travel, Dan. 12:4. These, things are now on us. Steam and electricity are eliminating time and space. Everybody is traveling to and fro and all the great companies are posting notices that baggage will not be delivered on time because of the unprecedented flood of travel. The universal question is, 'Where are you going?' The year of 1900 will see hundreds of thousands of people traveling to Europe, and I myself have made my arrangements to make a trip to Palestine. When tbe air ship is completed then will begin the beginning of the end and who can say how soon the mystery of aerial flight will be solved
by the fertile brain of man? The increase of knowl^lge along all lines Is wonderful and the caoGie is on the last wild flicker of light. Fourth, there will be a completion of the world wide evangelism, Matt. 24:14, and I firmly believe that within the next decade there will not be a child even that has not heard of the gospel and the witness of the Holy Spirit. Millions are being given for missions and $he increase in donations for this cause is little short of marvelous. Fifth, Daniel's prophecy on dayBBeems to reach tn fullness in 1910, to which I place a ntbrgin of four years for difference in chronology, Daniel 12:8. Here Daniel seems to be overcome with the sights discovered to his prophetic vision and asks of Jehovah: 'O, my Lord, when shall these things end?' He gets for his answer a sealed figure, wrapped up in the following awfully significant words: 'And he said, go thy way, Daniel for the words are closed up and sealed till the .time of the end. Many shall be purified and made white, and tried but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand. And from the time that tbe daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate Bet up, there shall be a thousand twohundredand sixty days," Dan. 12:9-11. Now if we could indisputably fix what 'taking away of the daily sacrifice' and 'the abominations that maketh desolate', are, and fix the date of them, the work of locating the 'time of the end' would be very easy indeed. It is conceded by the majority of eminent Bible chronologists that the edict of Justlnan making the pope of Rome the supreme head of the church and state, Is tbe fulfillment of the 'taking away of the sacrifice' and 'the Betting up of the abomination of desolation.' We ail know what an abomination the papal hierarchy has proved to be and how many homes it has made desolate. Now this edict ofJustinan was madeA, D. 530. Adding to this date the 1,260 days, or years, (for the prophetic day is one year) we have 1790 A. D. as the time of the 'beginning of the end.' When the Noachian flood was preached by Noah, there was a period of one hundred and twenty years of preparation so I also add to this 1790 this preparation period of one hundred and twenty years, and this brings us to 1910 A. D,, as the time fixed for the end. And to thiB I also add four years for different counts in chronology, and this brings us to 1914 A. D., which continues to the date by which I am of the opinion Jesus will come again. And this, too, a little more than closes the third two thousand years of the world's history since man has been on the scene. And, since the flood closed the first two thousand, the birth of JBBUB Christ the second two thousand, reasoning analogically, the third two thousand will bring the last and greatest of all the epochal changes,— the coming of Jesus Christ tpr the second and last time. I will answer some objections that have been made to this line of reasoning. It has been objected that, although the first two great epochs of the world's history came by double milleniumB that,since they were only preparatory, the third period will be longer. I answer that the first two thousand yeara were preparatory also, but the second period lasted only the two thousand years and, if this waB true of the first, why make it different for the last? Let him who assumes it to be so, prove it. On him rests the onus probandi. Again, it has been objected that man has just now reached a period when he knows how to live, and has about conquered the world, and having conquered it, he will live on it to improve and enjoy it. I an swer, that individuals die just when they are best qualified by knowledge and experience for greater living and that it is not the experience of nations in the past that they did better in the ratio of their knowing better, or that they were morally and spiritually elevated in the ratio of the expansion of their territory. Indeed, the very reverse is true. It Is true of the Chaldean, Medo-Perslan, Grecian, and Roman empires, that when they grew to know most they also grew more wicked, and then they fell. Again, it haB been objected that because Jesus said 'Of that day and hour knoweth no man, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only," that therefore no man can tell when He will come. I apswer that you will please to note that I have not attempted to fix the 'day' or the 'hour'. I have not even fixed the year I have only fixed a period which I have made flexible.
And now, my friends, I leave these reflections with you. Accept them or reject them. To me the thought of the coming of Jesus is filled with the wildest pleasure. If I could only be living when He comes I should he rejoiced. Oh 1 to think of seeing that heavenly lightning flaming from east to weBt around the world, filling all space with the brightness of God. Oh! to think of hearing the notes of that silvery trumpet whose toneB shall waken the sleeping dead! Only the one who is not prepared to meet Him dreads that day. Get you ready, friend, and so live that when He comes you may extend your hands to Him and say, 'Even BO come, Lord Jesus.'"

The test that tells the tale of merit is the test of friends and neighbors. Crawfordsville people endorse Doan's Kidney Pills.
Can you ask for better evidence? Read this case: Mr. Frank Buffington, of 109 west Chestnut street, plasterer, says: "In my case Doan's Kidney Pills effected a cure and I believe them to be a most worthy remedy. I had kidney complaint for about a year before I got them at Moffett & Morgan's drug store and I suffered a great deal from baekache, especially when at my work, aB I often have to stand in a stooped position for along time. The kidney secretions were scalding and discolored and contained a brick- dust sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills took right hold from the start and I kept steadily improving. When I had finished the box I was pleased to note that they had banished the kidney complaint. Backache and the trouble with the kidney secretions were things of the past and have not had a touch of them since."
Doan's Kidney Pills for sale by all dealers price 50 cents a box. Mailed on receipt of price by Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.
