THE SEARCH STOPS.

The Right Thing Has Been FouhdA Crawfordsville Citizen Shows the Way.

Once more we are indebted to a Crawfordsville citizen for a public statement that throws more light on a subject of ever-increasing interest. People have been deceived by false misrepresentations from time immemorial. No wonder they are skeptical of all claims endorsed by strangers, residing in far distant parts of the union. It is no longer necessary to accept such endorsements. for local citizens arc. giving their testimony, and 'tis an easy matter for any reader to investigate the correctness of such evidence as the following:

Mr. B. O. Bailey, of 208 Perry street, says: ''I suffered'day and night with severe backacho. 1 was so lame and sore 1 could not bend without holding on to something to steady myself. I had dizzy spells, when everything looked blurred and streaky before my eyes. The kidney secretions became irregular, and unnatural, greatly disturbing my rest at night by their frequent action. I tried a groat many remedies but without obtaining relief. As soon as I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, sold at MoiTett it Morgan's drug store. 1 commenced to improve. After taking two boxes the backache and dizziness disappeared and the kidney secretions were regulated and became normal."

Doan's Kidney Pills for sale by all druggists, price f0 cents per box. Doan's Ointment is a specific for all itching skin diseases, piles, eczema, chilblains, chafing, any irritation and all itchiness of the skin. Gives instant relief.

FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1900.

AN excess of $50,000,000 a month in exports over imports is a pretty good favorable trade balance to carry on our national ledger.

POKTO Rico is not very large, but the politicians in the Democratic party are hoping it is big enough to serve as a grave for free silver.

THE Republicans intend to make even a better showing in the county election than they made in the city election. Now is the time to climb gracefully on the band wagon.

IMPORTS of foreign goods, admitted into this country free of duty, were 50 per cent, greater in value in March, 1900, than in March, 1898. This increase, however, is chiefly in material ifor manufacturers which we do not now produce at home. Hence, this increased importation means increased activity on the part of our manufacturers and their employes.

THE News-lieview accuses THE JOURNAL, of damning the resolutions passed by the Democratic convention last Satday. THE JOURNAL did nothing of the kind unless a statement of what those resolutions incorporated be damning them. THE JOURNAL was well pleased •with the mass of noisy absurdity which the committee labeled "resolutions" and but for its appalling proportions we should gladly publish the gull as a Republican campaign document.

BRUNSWICK, Maine, a place of about 7,000 inhabitants, is probably the first municipality in the United States to undertake forest planting on a large scale, or what is practically the old world institution of a town forest. The town owns a tract of about 1,000 acres of what was once pine land, but long since given over to fire and huckleberries. At a recent meeting of the coun cil $100 was appropriated to improve this land by planting it to white pine. Seed will be purchased and a nursery established to raise the young trees. At the right age they will be transplanted in rows and set out in the positions they will finally occupy, and will then require little more care except protection from fire.

The land at present is absolutely unproductive. If the new plan is successful it will not only be ornamental but profitable. Town forests are common in Europe and often furnish a large part of the municipal revenue.

The planting will be under the direct supervi&ion of Austin Cary. but the uivision of forestry will assist in organizing and carrying out the work.

Washington, May 2:—-Other places have their attractions for American tourists at this season of the year, but during this particular month Washington, especially when a long session of congress is on, is the mecca of the migratory. They choose well who come to Washington in May, for the beauty of the national capital is in its verdure, at no other time so fresh and so fragrant as wjien its omnipresent parks and gardens, in the first flush of springtime, are bright with the color of the most varigated flora known in any city on the continent. Now, of all times in the year, the freshness and cleanliness of Washington stand out in vivid contrast to the dirt and gloom of almost every other large city in the country.

So, just at present, the tourist is like the verdure, omnipresent. He conies sometimes singly, more often in paij£Land stiHoftener in droves, like a Cook's excursion party.

In discussing the account of the strange adventures of#L. P. Mitchell in the labyrinths of the treasury, which recently appeared in this eorespondence. Indiana treasury officials have revived a story concerning "Bob" Tracewell. which, it is well to say in advance, he denounces as a campaign roorback. It is said that during the progress of the Spanish-American war, he visited Fort Monroe with a party of Indianians, under the cliaperonage of a naval officer. He became separated from his companions, and was doing a little inspecting for himself, when halted and placed under arrest by a determined looking marine. At this particular time the comptroller wore a beard of piratical cut, which even his best friends declared made him look like the Alcade of Santiago de Cuba, and It Is not considered strange that he was supected of being a Spanish spy, hauled before the proper authority, and searched, ln spite of certain protestations which did not sound like Spanish. Nothing more suspicious was found than a copy of Mr. Tracewell's home paper from Corydon, and his friends arriving about thi» time,

the ruffled treasury official was released with proper apologies. It was because of this incident, it is claimed, that the comptroller cut off his piratical beard.

In his speech on the postofflce appropriation bill last week, Mr. Zenoi stated that on the question of increasing our postal facilities, he was "an enthusiastic expansionist." In his judgment, die said, the success of the experimental rural free delivery service had given it a permanent place In our postal system. Mr. Zenoi quoted in full the speech of Hon. Francis M. Dice, of Crawfordsville, special agent in charge of the central division of rural free delivery, delivered at the Iowa Good Roads convention last October. The postofflce appropriation bill gives $1,750,000 for the extension and maintenance of the rural free delivery service, an increase of $1,450,00 over the largest sum ever devoted to this purpose heretofore. Mr. Zenor pointed out the fact that the establishment of rural free delivery routes had caused an increase from 50 to 75 per cent in the postal receipts from the territory served, and predicted that in the end the system would bo more than self-supporting.

In the course of a recent speech on the naval apropriation bill, having special reference to the Naval Observatory, Senator Chandler gave a list of observatories arid the telescopes above four inches in diameter in this country. He named only one in Indiana—that at McKim observatory, DePauw university, which is said to command the finest horizon between the coasts, excepting only the Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay, Wisconsin. The telescope In the McKim observatory, which has an aperture of 9.5 incues. is the thirty-third in size in this country, the largest being that at the Yerkes observatory, which has an

Indiana seems to be falling into the renomination habit so far as mem bers of congress are concerned, and those who know how large a factoi is experience in the success of a representative, are pleased at the disappearance of the old and dangerous tra dltlon that two terms in the house was enough for any man. There has been a great deal of talk by Indiana correspondents of the Washington papers to the effect that several members of the Indiana del^gar.m. would bo defeated for renomination. but in every case, unless we except that of Mr. Faris, the opposition has vanished into thin air when it came to a show down. The last illustration of this was the renomination of Mr. Robinson. Students of
