The Belgian Hare.
ro the Editor of The Jourmil. As this latest addition to our domestic mimals is rapidly spreading all over he United States, and has already ained a strong footing in our midst, I hought your readers would like some nformation on the subject which, however, is too extensive to give in a single rticle without encroaching too much your valuable space. I will, thereore, give a few leading points now, folowing with other articles later. Everyone will be more or less interested in he hare, as it will not only soon appear our stores and meat shops as food, ut also, as Secretary Hulet informs e, the fair directors are studying the ubject with a view to giving premiums tour next county fair.
There are two phases, the fancy and he food questions. Prizes are given— some quite large—mostly on points of "eauty of shape, color, etc. Lesser arizes for weight as food producers. But the end will probably be after a :ew years that few will raise except for he market or homo consumption. It is aid to be superior in food quality to my, the meat being rich, delicately lavored above any domestic animal or !owl.
At present the demand far exceeds jhe supply for thoroughbreds. An nternational registry association has een formed with headquarters at Kansas City. When one purchases a edigreed hare he gets a certificate ivith its pedigree back to some celearated hares which have taken the champion prizes in England at the tnnual national shows at the Crystal oalace. Such champions are valued at £1,000 or more.
No one need fear to go into this payng industry, as aside from high prices nd premiums for fancy stock, they will ae in great demand for food always. Armour, of Chicago, has already told us
We sell the JEWEL line and other first class makes and our prices? are right. We can suit you if you want a,good stove of any kind.

he will take five hundred a day for packing purposes. In this locality we are away behind in this. Further west and in California as well as down east, it seems that everyone who has any love at all for animals are going into the business. To those having had no experience, thinking of going into it, I would recommend that they go rather slow, and begin on cheap stock, so if they have to experiment a little in feeding and caring for them, they will not run the chance of suffering so large a loss if any should die. In my next article I will speak of the origin, nature, development, etc., of the Belgian hare. Although I, or rather my wife, is just starting, I feel pretty well posted, having made a fad of pet rabbits when a boy, but I am again a student. T.

MARRIED AT DANVILLE.
Miss Susie Adams, of This City, Weds Frederick Cole Wednesday Noon,
The following clipping from the Danville, 111., Commercial will interest Miss Susie Adams'many friends here: "Fred Burton Cole, manager of the Danville Western Union oflice, and Miss Mary Susan Adams, head trimmer of the Meis Bros. Co., were united in marriage to-day at noon at the First M. E. parsonage, Rev. E. B. Randle performing the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. B. II. Collius were witnesses. They will have apartments at the house of Mrs. Lallin, Oak street."
Miss Adams has been employed at Danville since early in the fall and her marriage is a complete surprise to her friends here, none of whom knew of it until it had occurred. Miss Adams is a beautiful young lady who has lived all her life in this city, and her friends here extend to her their heartiest good wishes for her future. Mr. Cole is to be congratulated upon having won so charming a bride for his life companion. Mrs. Cole will arrive in this city shortly for a visit.
Speaking of the Cole-Adams wedding the Danville I'rcw says: "Miss Adams came to Danville from Crawfordsville and has been identified for some months with the Meis Bros, establishment. During her stay in Danville she has made an unusual number of friends arid is popular in social circles. The groom is highly respected in business circles. He is a college graduate and a young man of ability. He came to this city from Lincoln. 111., and holds a lucrative position as manager of the Western Union telegraph company."
PENSIONS, $142,000,000.
An Increase of More Than Four Million Dollars—Many Frauds Practiced.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of the interior says of the pension question for the following year: "The pension roll for the coming year will call for the expenditure of about $142,000,000. as against about $13S,000,000 for the year just closing. There are a little less than 1,000,000 names on the roll now, aud these are being added to by recent legislation. Under the old law, soldiers' widows not wholly dependent on their own labor for their support were not entitled to draw a pension. A recent law made it legal for a widow receiving not above $250 a year to receive a pension. This and certain amendments bearing on the construction of the disabitity of veteran applicants, have added several thousand names to the roll. No country in the world is so liberal with its pensions as this government, and th's fact has prompted dishonest men to take every sort of mean advantage of the government. No doubt there are many fraudulent pensioners on the rolls to-day, but as fast as trickery is discovered, the proper measures are taken to check it.*'
Has Been Assisting Dr. Leech. 777 Terre Haute Exprcsi Evangelist Frank W. Gee has just returned from a meeting at Morgantown, W. Va., where he has been assisting the Rev. S. V. Leech, D. D., who was formerly pastor of Centenary M. E. church of this city.

Morgantown is a beautiful little city near the mountains of West Virginia, the seat of the State University.
Dr. Leech will be remembered as having been the pastor of the First M. E. church of this city several years ago.

Meredith Nicholson Says There Is No Reason Why Crawfordsville .... Should Not Be ns Famous as Cambridge.
Indianapolis yarn: Meredith Nicholson, formerly on the editorial stall' of the J\acs, now a resident of Denver, has been in the city a few days. He left last evening for Old Point Comfort, a., where he will remain two or three weeks for the restoration of his'liealth, impaired by continuous work in the high altitude of Denver. lie was asked how he came to write his recent book, "The lloosiers," wli ich is attracting so much attention,
l'I
wrote it," was the replv, "on invitation and suggestion of Professor Woodberry, of ('ohunbia college, who is the editor of the Macmillan series of national studios in American letters. 1 felt that it was uecessary to say some things for Indiana that had never been said before. It is indicative of the widespread interest in Indiana as a litQiiary center that in a series of this kind issued by a leading publishing house, the Hoosier state has been included and, more than that, has the third volume of the sories, the precoeding two being 'Uld Cambridge,' by Col. Iligginson, and 'Brook Farm,' by Lindsey Swift. 1 appreciate that it is highly complimentary to come third in such a series. "Of course, wo Hoosiers know that our writers are all very high grade,but in talking of them to the general public we must be critical and conservative. I felt Ithat it was important to give something, at'least, of the antecedents and environmentof our Hoosier people. This had to be done lightly, so that I suggested a good deal which it would have been a pleasure to have pursued more fully. "There is no reason why Crawfordsville, which is my native town, by the way, should not be as famous as Cambridge though Wabash college can not, as it appears,play foot ball much better than Harvard. There are somo neglected figures in Indiana history, as, for instance, Caleb Mills, of Wabash college, who was unquestionably one of the most useful of Indiana's educators.''
DEATHS [N INDIANA.
iie State Board of Health for the First Time Gives a Correct Mortality List.
The state board of health requests the publication of the following: Under the new health law of l^'.i'.i correct mortality statistics are this year for the first time in Indiana, collected and tabulated.
The absolute need of correct vital statistics to civilized states and their great practical usefullness is too apparent to call for discussion.
The total number of deaths reported for the year ended September .'10, 1000, was 35,488, an annual death rate in each 1,000 of 14.09.
The deaths from preventable diseases numbered 12,400. This makes a long funeral procession which might have been considerably shortened.Pulmonary tuberculosis, caused by breathing foul, once used air caused the greatest number of deaths. This disease is epedemic and not much feared. Its deaths number .'1,164.
Pneumonia comes next and caused 2,(344 deaths. Diarrhoeal diseases caused mostly by bad food and water, caused 2,047 deaths, mostly among children. Fuller information among the people, how to properly select, preserve and prepare foods, would greatly lessen the disease.
Typhoid fever, the disgraceful filth disease, caused 1,431 deaths and there were nearly 20,000 cases. When we learn to drink only pure water, typhoid fever will depart and we will experience a mighty increase in wealth and happiness.
Diphtheria, occurring mostly among children, caused (ifjti deaths, and tho cases numbered over 10,000.
Whooping cough caused 287 measles, 85 scarlet fever, 102 cerebro spinal meningitis, 377 smallpox, 18. Viokncc caused the death of 1,50(5 persons.
