THE GOLDEN RULE

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER.

Major Charles M. Travis May Secure a Berth In the Pension Department.

The Indianapolis News contains the following item of interest: The death of Thomas Iflinna leaves T.. N. Walker the only Indiana candidate for commissioner of pensions. Persons who are familiar with the situation at Washington expressed the belief to-day that Walker may be appointed in case H. Clay Evans resigns. Recent information fx-om Washington is to the effect that Evans will soon retire from the office to take a place abroad. The impression prevails here that if Walker is not appointed commissioner, Indiana will get the deputy commisslonershlp, and that it will go to Charles M. Travis, of Crawfordsville.

The many friends of Mr. Travis are earnest and sincere in their hope that he will succeed to the position mentioned. It is not thought that Col. Walker will win out and if he does not Major Travis should have the deputyship. He is splendidly qualified for the place and his war record in the rebellion and Spanish war is excellent. Old soldiers would especially be gratified by Ma

Travis' preferment.

Authority on Mules.

Indianapolis Journal: The new at-torney-general's first important duty will be to investigate the neutrality laws bearing on the shipment of mules on British orders from New Orleans to South Africa. It is understood that Mr. Knox is a good corporation lawyer, but it remains to be seen if he is a good mule lawyer.

Anderson Herald: If President McKinley wants a good mule lawyer we suggest Hon. Mike White, of Crawfordsville. He has won two jack suits that puts him far and away in the head as a mule lawyer. His plea in a famous jack case, tried fourteen years ago in Crawfordsville, brought tears to the eyes of the old jack in controversy, though he was several miles away. It would pay Attorney-General Knox to call in ex-Congressman White on the mule question and save the trouble of further investigation.

THE editor of the Fordvllle, Ky., Miscellaneous, writes as a postscript to a business letter, "I was cured of kidney trouble by taking Foley's Kidney Cure." Take nothing else. Nye & Booe.

THK little folks love Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. Pleasant to take perfectly harmless positive cure for coughs colds, bronchitis, asthma.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Climate and Crop Bulletin. The climate and crop service bulletin issued by Observer Wappenhans, for Indiana, for the week ending April 15 contains the following: "Light rains the latter part of the week were beneficial, but prevented plowing and seeding. Cool weather retarded the growth of crops, especially in the northern half of the state. Wheat continued to improve and promisee well. Rye is in very good condition. Young clover, timothy, and oats are coming up nicely. Meadows and pasturage are green and growing. Many tobacco beds are made. Most early potatoes are planted, aad most oats sown. Peas were sown in localities. Barley is being sown. Plum, apricot and peach trees are in bloom. Many gardens are made, especially in the southern half of the state. Farm work, in general, progressed in some some localities the ground was too wet for plowing for corn. Live stock, in general, is in very good condition."

ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY.

Mesdames West and VanCamp bntcrtain for Miss Wicker.

Tuesday afternoon at tho residence of Mrs. Jere West, on east Main street, Mrs. West and Mrs. Ed VanCamp entertained Athens Chapter, O. E. S. in honor of Miss Valeria Wicker, the matron of the chapter, the objeci being to formally announce the engagement of Miss Wicker to Mr. Charles W. Robinson. The rooms were prettily decorated in pink and white. In the parlor were a myriad of pink and white butterilies hovering over vases of pink and white carnations.

NEW COMPULSORY LAW.

The Truant Officers are Acting Under New Rules.

The truant officers are now operating under anew compulsory education law passed by the last legislature

Hereafter all children between the 6th and 14th birthday anniversaries will be compelled to attend school during the whole term. The law is changed from that heretofore in force in the following particulars: Previous to enactment of the new law, if it was necessary for a child to make his own living, if over 12 and under 14 years of age, he was compelled to attend school but sixty days in the years. Now he must attend school anyhow. If he shall not be able to do any work and make a living the state will provide for his support

Another change in the law is with regard to notification by the truant officer. Heretofore the child could miss five days of school and the parents be notified. The child could then attend a day and be absent the same number of days again. Another notice must then be sent and parents could not be prosecuted if the child attended school for one day again. Now but one notice need be sent and prosecution will follow on a second offense.' The fine is not less than $2.00 or more than $25.00, with imprisonment from two to ninety days.

A Dangerous Animal

Last Tuesday Marshal Brothers arrested William Hardin on the request of the sheriff from Frankfort. Hardin came here some days ago and Tuesday got a job with Henry Clements on street work. He was discharged in the afternoon for incompetency, and a little later was arrested. The Frank' fort Times says of his case "Several weeks ago a chicken house belonging to Mr. and Mrs. George L, Kempf was entered in the aeaa nour of night and several choice pullets re moved therefrom. Last night William Hardin, a young man of this city who glories in the striking sobriquet of 'Rabbit,' was jailed on the charge of having been the thief "Soon after the theft was committed the officers became convinced that 'Rabbit' was the individual who had done the job. However, he received a tip that unless he took to tall grass he was a goner, and at once skipped out. Yesterday Sheriff Corns got word that he was in Crawfordsville and went over after him. The Crawfordsville marshal assisted the sheriff and 'Br'er Rabbit' was hunted down. The officers say they have a strong case against him and that ho will be compelled to answer to several other charges also."

At the Jail.

There are now only six prisoners at the county jail, all but one of them awaiting trial for penitentiary offenses. That one is old David Grady, who celebrated his release from the insane hospital by getting on a big drunk. He still seems unbalanced and as his insanity is of the violent order, the authorities are in a quandry as to what disposal should be made of him.

Preparing for the Rummage Sale. The ladies are busy preparing for the hospital fund rummage sale which is to be given very shortlv. The people of the city will do well to look up all such articles as they can contribute and have them in readiness for the sale. A call for them will be mado in a few days.

To accommodate those who are partial to the use of atomizers in applying liquids into the nasal passages for catarrhal troubles, the proprietors prepare Ely'8 Liquid Cream JBalm. Price including the spraying tube is 75 cents. Druggists or by mail. The liquid embodies the medicinal properties of the solid preparation. Cream Balm is quickly absorbed by the membrane and does not dry up the secretions but changes them to a natural and healthy character. Ely J3 street, New York.

New England Women

Have an Abiding Faith in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

ORGANIC INFLAMMATION. DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I was troubled very badly with inflammation of the bladder, was sick in lied with it. I had two doctors, but they did me no good. A friend gave mo Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it helped me. I have now taken three bottles of it, and I am entirely cured. It is a God-send to any woman, and I would recommend it to any one suffering as I was. I think, if most of the women would take more of your medicine instead of going to the doctors, they would bo better oft. The Compound has also cured my husband of kidney trouble."

WORD FROM CARNEGIE.

The Money For the Library Will be Paid Out on the Estimates of the Architect.

Councilman Wert on Wednesday received a letter from the treasurer of Andrew Carnegie stating that the action o? the council in purchasing the site for the new library building was perfectly satisfactory and that the work might be proceeded with at once. The money will be paid out in sums of $5,000 on the estimates of the architect as the work progresses.

The Griffith lot has already been purchased and is now the property of the city. At the council meeting next Monday evening some action will be taken toward securing plans for the building. A set will be adopted as soon as possible and the contract for the construction of the building will bo let

How It Was Done.

Kingman Star: Georgo LaFrance and Lucinda Rodgers came to Kingman Thursday and on Friday the young lady brought paternity charges against LaFrance in order to overcome the objections of the young lady's parents to their marriage. The case was brought before Justice Woody and of course, was compromised by the young man agreeing to secure a license and marry the girl. Tho young people are residents of Danville.

This is the couple who has been trying to get married for a week or more. They were refused a license iu Covington and Crawfordsville, but kept sailing around over the country until the forlorn bride-groom hit upon the above scheme, and then tho rest was easy.

RUNNING sores, ulcers, pimples, boils, etc.. quickly cured by Banner Salve, the most healing salve in the world. A sure cure for piles. Nye & Booe.

SCROFUI.A, salt, rheum, erysipelas and other distressing eruptive diseases yield quickly and permanently to the cleaner.?, purifying power oi Burdock Blood Biitsrs.

After years of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm and steadfast belief that some day others •would recognize in us the truth, good faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genuine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of th« merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings.

Thus stands the Finkliam name in New England, and all over America, and nowhere is the faith in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound greater than in New England, its home. Merit, and merit alone, can gain this.

MRS. MABEL GOOKIN,

BOX 160. Mechanic Falls, Maine. NERVOUS PROSTRATION. "For two years I suffered from nervous prostration, the result of female weakness. I had leucorrlioea very badly, and at time of menstruation would be obliged to go to bed. Also suffered with headaches, pain across back, and in lower part of abdomen. I was so discouraged. I had read of Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound, and concluded to give it a trial. I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received a very nice letter in return. I began at once the use of her Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and am now feeling splendid. I have no more pain at monthly periods, can do my own work, and have gained ten pounds. I would not be without your Vegetable Compound. It is a splendid medicine. I am very thankful for what ithas done for me." MRS. J. W. J., 70 Carolina Ave., Jamaica Plain, Mass.

If Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will cure these women why not you you cannot tell until you try it. If you are ill, and really want to get well, commence its use at once, and do not let any drug clerk persuade you that he has something of his own which is better, for that ia absurd. nim to produce the evidence we do.

PAINFUL PERIODS. I cannot help but feel that it la my duty to do something in regard to recommending your wonderful medicine. I must say it is the grandest .medicine on earth, and have advised

I .a great many sufforing with femala i} troubles to take it.

I tell people I wish I could go on tha [platform and leo» turc on it.

My trouble waa

painful menstrua*

ation. The suffering I endured pen cannot describe. I was treated by one of our most prominent physicians here for five months, and found myself getting worse instead of better. At the end of the fifth month he told me he had done all he could for me, and that I had better go to the hospital.

My sister advised me to try your Vegetable Compound, as it cured her of backache. 1 did so, and took it faithfully, and am now cured of my trouble, and in perfect health, many thanks to your medicine. I cannot praise it enough, and would recommend it to all who suffer from any female weakness."— MRS. H. S. BAIL, 461 Orchard St., New Haven, Conn.

A VANDAL'S ACT.

A Vicious Attempt to Burn the Lumber

Yards of Corbln & Mill.

Wednesday about 3 o'clock a. m. an attempt was mado to burn the lumber piles of Corbin & Hill on their yards just east of the mill. Fortunately the tire was quickly discovered and extinguished.

At the hour stated night watchman Martin, of the mill, discovered the fire just as it was breaking out. He sounded the fire alarm whistle and proceeded to fight the firo. The department responded to the call but when the mill was reached Mr. Martin, with neighbors who ran in, had succeeded In putting the firo out. Tnere is no possible doubt that tho fire was deliberately started by an incendiary. The pile where the fire broke out had been saturated with coal oil and a lot of dry grass and corn cobs had been brought, from a nearby field to serve as kindling.

The owners of the mill are at a loss for some one to suspect. They are conscious of no enemy so criminal and no motive can be assigned for such an act. The police are investigating with a hope of finding tho guilty party.

The lumber firod was the property of J. W. Henry and the loss was merely nominal. As tho wind was from the mill some think the effort made was to burn Mr. Henry's lumber without injuring tho mill.
