THE Indianapolis Sentinel is booming J. Frank Hanley as the successor of Senator Beveridge. This is tolerably tough on Hanley.
WOOL is about the only farm product that has not advanced in price in the last few months. And even wcol is worth considerably more than in the good old days of free trade.
EDWARD ATKINSON has evolved a system for healtti insurance. Possibly Aguinaldo could be induced to finance the scheme by putting a few of his diamonds up with, if not his ''untie," at, least his "aunty."
SENATOR PLATT, of Connecticut, author of the resolution relating to Cuba, says the essence of the policy is that the Cubans shall recognize the right of the United States to maintain the independence of Cuba and stable government in the island.
THE Arkansas legislature has passed a bill providing that every person who buys a drink of liquor in that state must take out a license as a dram drinker. The annual fee is five dollars and the license must be displayed before the soft eyed bar keeper can dispense the liquid joy.
ATTICA Ledqer: Not so long ago Crawfordsville was considered a "dead town" and without the commercial instinct—such a town as educational centers usually are—without public spirit, and depending entirely upon the students' board money for existence. All that, however, has changed, and to-day there is no more progressive city of its size in the state than Crawfordsville. Its business men work together for its upbuilding and within the past few months have located manufacturing establishments which give employment to hundreds of men and pay out thousands of dollars in wages each week. Its people have caught the right step in the onward march—the only one that will make a thriving and prosperous city.
OUR neighbor. Frankfort, is having an experience with the Bell telephone company. Several years ago when the Bell had things all its own way, high prices prevailed. Later came opposition and then the Bell cut its rates in two. A couple of years ago this opposition was swallowed and again the Bell rates soared skyward. Now opposition is on again and again has the Bell cut its rate. The people up there are getting their eyes opened, however, and the •Newt remarks: "As far as we can learn people are not falling over each other to take advantage of the Bell's large heartedness. Indeed, we have heard a great number of people Bay that they prefer to stay by the new concern and pay the difference, which is twenty-five cents per month. The people of Frankfort helped the Bell people to rake a chestnut out of the fire about two years ago, but this time the chestnut is in no danger of being scorched and they seem inclined to leave it alone."
Death of a Child.
On Tuesday at 4 a. m. the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Disher died at the family residence in Rockville. The body was brought here Tuesday evening and the funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at the home of James Blankenship, 206 east College street. Owing to illness of Mr, Blankenship the funeral was private.
Carrie Will Come.
J. J. Insley has received a letter from Oarrie Nation expressing her willing ness to come on July fourth and be the star feature in the Elks' celebration here. Terms will be made with her at once and it is likely that thousands of people will be attracted to hear her lecture and see how Bhe does the "smash act."

Amisli Sect 111 Trouble With the Tax Assessor.
1 local ur. I lid., April 17. -There are indications of wholesale arrests among the Amisli farmers of Adams county, because they refuse to swear to their tax assessment.

One of them has been arrested and lined for refusing to swear to his as-' sessineiit. and a list of others who refuse to take the oath has been made up. on which the authorities expect to take action soon.
Newspaper Consolidation. Indianapolis. April 17.—With last evening's issue of the Indianapolis Press that paper was published for the Inst time, its publishers giving up an unprofitable struggle of less than two years' duration. The Press is absorbed by the Indianapolis News, which succeeds to the business and good will of the former paper. John H. llolliday and W. J. Richards have consolidated their interests with the owners of the News, Mr. I-Iolliday becoming a member of the News copartnership. Major Richards retires by preference from the newspaper Held. This consolidation is actuated by an apparently conclusive demonstration that there Is room in Indianapolis for only one complete 2-cent afternoon newspaper.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON III, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 21.
THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Text of the Lesson, Luke xxlv, 13-35. Memory Vcrncs, 25-27—Golden Text, Luke xxiv, 32 Commentary Prepared by tlie Rev. IJ. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] 13, 14. Two diseiplcs, one of whom was named Cleopns (verse IS), walk out into the country to Eimiiaus, some seven or eight miles from Jerusalem, anil as they walk they talk of all these thiugs which had happened, or, iu other words, they talk of Ilini. for lie was the center of all recent happenings in Jerusalem. But IIo is not there ntiy more, for He was crucified as a malefactor two days before, and the hearts of those who trusted in Him are sad, for what tlie.v expected Him to do has not been done, anil the unexpected and uniooked for has taken place. lu-17. "Jesus Himself drew near and went with them." Ilis eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth for the benefit of all who are truly His. tie has a book for all who think upon Him (II
Chron. xvi, Mai. iii. 10). lie felt sorry for these two unbelieving disciples and drew near to conilort them, but they knew llim not. for their eyes were holden. But why? Was it their unbelief? Possibly. Mark xvi. l'J, says He appeared iu another form. Some day wo shall know what that means, for our resurrection bodies shall lie like His (Phil, iii, UO, LM), anl what lie did we shall do, if necessary, as we reign with Him. lN-LM. They ask llim if He is a stranger. since He does not seeiu to know the things that had come to pass, and when lie asks, What things? they say, Concern in.i Jesus of Naxareth, a mighty prophet in deed and word before God and man whom the chief priests aud rulers had criH-ilied, hut they had expected that lie would have redeemed Israel. Three days had passed, or this was Lhe third liiiv, since He had been crucified, aud they were utterly in the dark. Oh, what a bright day this third day would have been to them if they had only believed His words! It is not believing a part of His words, but all that He lias said which nives peace aud comfort. They were right in expecting the redemption of Israel, for John and Jesus and the disciples had all preached that tic kingdom of which the prophets had spoken was at hand. But as the days passed aud Johfi was rejected and the rulers decided to kill Jesus. He plainly told His disciples what would happen. 2'J-iM. The very thins that should have rejoiced them most aud would if they had believed Ilis words was the thins that most perplexed them—au empty tomb, ami angels who said He was alive, but Him they saw not. It would seem that these men had not heard that Mary
Magdalene had seen and also talked with Him. or. it' tliey had heard it, they probably looked upon it as a woman's fancies, for they would scarcely believe that He would thus honor Mary. They were sad and astonished and full of reasonings, when if they had only been believing they would have had great joy. 25, 2C. "O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" The prophets had spoken very plainly concerning the sufferings of the Messiah in such passages as l's. xxii, Isa. liii, Zecl). xiii, besides all tlio typical allusions and foreshadowing.?, but their minds were so full of the glory of the kingdom that they were blind to the sufferings and the humiliation. There are many believers uow who are so occupied with (iethseniane and Calvary that they see nothing Of the glory to be revealed they cannot seem able to endure anything concerning His return and His kingdom ami Israel's glory, but if by His cross they are saved and can have an assurance of reaching heaven, they want nothing further. '. "Begiimiug at Moses and all the prophets, tie expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the thiugs concerning
Himself." The same evening at Jerusalem He said to the disciples that all things must be fulfilled which were written iu the law of Moses and in the proph ets and in the psaluis concerning Him (verse 41). Just what portions of Scripture He expounded we do not know, but we may well imagine He would not fail to go back to Gen. iii, 15, 21 Ex. xii Lev. xvi, etc. We may say, How I would have loved to hear Him open the Scriptures! How I would hang upon Hia words! But He has given us His Spirit to guide us into all truth, and if we are meek and teachable Ho will tell us just what Jesus Himself would (John xiv, 20 xvi, 13, 14). Do you believe all things which are written in the law and iu the prophets? (Acts xxiv, 14.) If you do, many wise people will count you foolish But if you do not our Lord will count you foolish, as He did these men. 2S, 29. "He jveut in to tarry with them." As they drew nigh to the village He made as though He would have gone farther, but they constrained Him to abide with them. He does not thrust Himself where He is not wanted, nor intrude where not invited, but He is easily constrained by such as really desire Him.
If His people, His redeemed ones, feel that they can go through the day's work without llim, whether at home or in business or in church or Sunday school work. He will let them, that they may in due time learn the truth of His wordn, "Without Me ye can do nothing" (John xv, 5). 30, 81. "They knew Him, and He vanished out of their sight." In the margin it says "ceased to be seen of them." It was in the breaking of bread that they recognized Him (verse 35), as they afterward told the disciples at Jerusalem. Perhaps they remembered the way He did as He fed the 5,000 or the 4,000, or it may have been told them how He did at the institution of the supper, or it may have been His special power that just then opened their eyes." 32-35. "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us by the way and while He opened to us the Scriptures?" Now they understood why they had been so intensely interested while the stranger, as they supposed, spake to them as never man had spoken, and opened to them the Scriptures, and they were at once so full of joy and eagerness to tell it that they started back to Jerusalem the same hour and found the disciples ready to greet them with the tidings that Simon had seen the Lord. Then they told their story, and as they sjake. io, Jesus Himself is in their midst and talking to them and showing them His hands and feet, wtth the nail holes plainly seen. Whatever our sorrow or perplexity, the Risen Christ Jesus Himself dispels it nil.
