FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1901.

THE good people of Texas have quit peppering Republicans from the north for a season and have gone to shooting oil wells. Variety is the spice of life, even in Texas.

THE Omaha Bee says that William Jennings Bryan will run for governor of Nebraska in ]902 and that, "he will be hard to beat." That is what they said of him when he ran for President of the United States, but the election returns didn't show it.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL KNOX will endeavor to obtain 8750,000 located in several banks as belonging to Captain O. M. Carter, who is now in prison for defrauding the government in connection with the improvement of the harbor of Savannah, Ga., of which he was in charge.

THE Cubans as well as the Filipinos are falling over themselves to accept the terms and praise the liberality of the government at Washington. This is rather rough on the Democratic editorial writers and Winslow and o&er Boston baked beans, but it meets the approval of the American people.

THE Republican administration at Indianapolis announces that the state debt will be reduced another $300,000 by July first. There has been a steady and rapid decrease in our debt since the Republicans took control in Indiana in 1894. Previous to that time the debt had been steadily and rapidly increasing. By the way, since the Republicans have been in control In Montgomery county the same gratifying decrease in the public indebtedness has been noted. There is something more than a coincidence in this.

THEjvisit of the Cuban committee to Washington has not only been pleasant to all concerned, but it has been productive jof much good. The doubts .., which the Cubans said they and their fellow."members of the constitutional convention had as to the construction of that [clause of the Piatt amendment in which the right was reserved by this government, to intervene whenever in its judgment it might become i. necessary to preserve order in Cuba was all cleared away by the explanations made by President McKinley and

Secretary (Root, and they now see the establishing of naval and coaling stations in JCuba by the U. S. in a much more favorable light than they did when thejmatter was discussed in the

iCs convention. Those two clauses of the PlattJJamendment are the only ones that were seriously opposed by the convention, Members of the committee have said privately that they would recommend to the convention when they return, which will be at once, that the Platt amendment be accepted, and have expressed the opinion that the recommendation will be favorably acted upon. TheECubans did a great deal of talkingjabout the general desire of the people I of|the island to obtain reduc tions in our tariff on sugar and tobacco, even after they were made to fully understand that the [tariff was a question that congress only could deal with 11» PresidentJ'McKinley, (however, told them that after the Cuban government had been organized he would be pleased to appointj-commissioners to nego-

tiate with' its representative a commercial reciprocity treaty.

ET TU, SIXTO!

New York 'Tribune: Truly, Liberty is betrayed in the house of its friends! The disheartening announcement is made—from Springfield,Mass., too,of all places!—that'Senor Sixto Lopez is going home to theJPhilippines, to join Aguinaldo iniaccepting American sovereignty and in working"for a universal acceptance thereof by his countrymen. Surely, if freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell, she must ghave thrown at least thirteen consecutive and tumultuous fits when that ill news was heard. Sixto Lopez fcrecreanti-to the sacred cause of Tagal headchopping! Why, he has been supposed tojbe 'carrying the very palladium of iliberty about in his trousers Ipocket. Delgado might yield, and Aguinaldc'himself bow the knee to the invader, but Sixto Lopez would remain faithfuljamong the faithless, and from the exposed and perilous outposts of Springfield and the Black Bay would continue to hurl documentary defiance at the foes of freedom. VV

And now he takes a train for the Pacific coast, on his way home, and stops off at Springfield between trains to announce to his friends his desertion

of the sacred cause—quite as one might happen in to remark casually that the sun had ceased to shine. In fact, the sun must have ceased to shine in Springfield, and over a part of the Black Bay. And the fervor of the Aladdin oven is abated, and the sound of the garrisonian lyre is stilled. Et tu, Sixto! This was the most unkindest cut of all. Now let Erving Winslow seek solace in Ibsen, and Ernest Crosby turn to Tolstoi for surcease from sorrow. Alas! Likewise, alack! Also, eheu! Moreover, woe is me! By the same token, well-a-day! Let us flee unto the mountains of Hepsidam, where roarcth and the whangdoodle mourneth for her firstborn.

But as for Sixto Lopez, like his friend Aguinaldo, he seems to be after all amenable to reason and able to see a great light when it shines upon him. Wherefore he is to be congratulated on getting out of the anti-imperialist galley.

FREEDOM IN MEDICAL PRACTICE. Judge Philips, of Kansas City, in imposing heavy fines on Weltmer, of "absent treatment" fame, spoke earnestly of frauds in the medical profession and exploded the claim that a man has a right to practice or be practiced upon according to his alleged belief. His words commend themselves to a number of people in Crawfordsville. In closing he said: "No man has aright to set up his individual opinion against common sense and the average intelligence of the public as expressed in the statutes. The claim has been made in a similar case to this, that no crime is committed when there is no wrong intent that a man does no wrong when he believes that what he does is for the public good. That will strike the common sense of the public as absurd. The same plea might have been made in behalf of Guiteau when he slew President Garfield. It would apply also to the Hindoo mother who throws her babe into the Ganges or the Mormons and their belief in polygamy. The adulterer could invoke the same defense and there would be no protection to society. "All these might claim liberty of conscience under this theory. It is as anarchistic as for a citizen to claim to be a law unto himself."

Distribution of Acts.

Union B. Hunt, secretavv of state, says that the acts of 1901 will probably go into effect sorro time next week. Copies of the acts have been shipped to the clerks of the several counties as rapidly as they have come from the bindery. They will not be in effect until the governor has issued a proclamation, after he has been notified officially that they have reached the clerks of every county in the state. In order to have no hitch in the arrangement, the secretary of state had printed three separate receipts which have to be signed by the clerks as soon as they receive the acts. The receipts all have to be sent to Indianapolis, one to the governor and two to the secretary of state, one by express and one by registered letter.

Trouble In Ripley.

Last Tuesday Mrs. Alice Kritchlow, of Ripley township, came into court and swore out a warrant for the arrest of a young man named Kyle, charging him with trespass. Mrs. Kritchlow states that her father, Matthias Elmore, deeded a farm to her, retaining there in a life interest. Sometime ago with his consent this farm was rented to her brother-in-law, Mr. Miller. Later still, she alleges, her brother, James B. Elmore, the popular poet, induced the old man to rent the place to Kyle. It is Mrs. Kritchlcw's contention that as her father had already consented to the renting of the place to Miller that Kyle comes in as a trespasser. It seems from Mrs. Kritchlow's statement that all is not lovely in the family of the poet. She arraigns him severely and laughs him to bitter scorn. It is very lamentable that this is true.

The Great Scourge

Of modern times Is consumption. Many cures and discoveries from time to time are published but Foley's Honey and Tar does truthfully claim to cure all cases in the early stages and always affords comfort and relief in the very worst cases. Take no substitutes.

"I HAD a running, itching sore on my leg. Suffered tortures. Doan's Ointment took away the burning and itching instantly, and quickly effected permanent cure." C. W. Lenhart, Bowling Green,O.

FAKIRS PUNISHED.

The Weltmer School of "Absent Treatment". Gets a Dose of the Law.

The many suckers in Crawfordsville and Montgomery county, who for several years past have been bled by the Weltmer school of absent treatment, will be interested in the following from the Kansas GRty Star, and also in learning that the fakirs were landed by a government postofiice inspector who resides in Crawfordsville: "Stephen A. Weltmer and Joseph H. Kelly, who operated the 'American School of Magnetic Healing'at Nevada, Mo., were fined $1,500 each in the federal court this morning. There were three indictments against each defendant, cach indictment including three counts. The charge was using the UnitedJStates mails for the purpose of fraud, by promising for a consideration to cure persons of poverty and all known bodily ills through absent treatment and mental suggestion. "Last Tuesday afternoon John O'Grady, of this city, and J. Ralph Burton, United States senator from Kansas, attorneys for Weltmer and Kelly, went before Judge Philips and entered a plea of guilty. They urged that the business of their clients was in the nature of a belief similar to Chris tian Science and that they were sincere in it. They believed that they could do what was promised. "Senator Burton placed himself in the position of (Supporting the claims of Weltmer and Kelly and of taking a sly slap at regular practitioners who, he said, frequently gave 'sugar' pills and let the mental effect on their patients do the rest. On the plea of sincerity and assurance that the law would hereafter be respected, the court was asked to make the penalty as light as possible. JudgeJPhilips took the case under advisement. This morning when court convened, the defendants were called to the bar and each were fined $500 on each of the three indictments against him. "In announcing the sentence the court made a vigorous thrust at 'absent treatment,' 'mental processes' and kindered systems of healing sickness. The views of .Judge Philips were decidedly pessimistic as to the ability of anyone to improve the physical, financial or mental conditions of this ixfe by suggestion or by the concentration of thought on the patient or sufferer."

Against a Soldier Bold.

Julia Burk has filed suit for divorce from Clarence Burk. She alleges in her complaint that "false, fleeting, perjured Clarence" enlisted in the army and went marching away without making any provision whatever for her support. The complaint further avers that Clarence is now making about sixty dollars a month but sends no part of it to Julia. She therefore asks a divorce from him, and when Clarence comes marching home the probabilities are that no one will fall on his neck.

Wiping Out the Debt.

State Auditor Hart announced Tuesday that the state debt of Indiana will be reduced $300,000 by the first of July. It will be the largest thai, has been made for some time, although the debt has been reduced steadily in the last fe«r years. Auditor Hart Tuesday paid $8,725 in interest on the 3£ per cent school refunding bonds of the series of 1895, which are not due until 1915, the state having no option to pay them off before that time. It was the semi-annual interest payment.

Modern Woodmen at Mace. Forty members of the local camp of Modern Woodmen of America went to Mace Tuesday evening at invitation of Mace camp and exemplified the initiatory work of the order upon five candidates. The visiting Woodmen were royally entertained by the Mace camp and after the work refreshments were served all present. The local drill corps gave a drill earlier in the even ing and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

Presents Offered.

The Elks committee is receiving a number of handsome presents to be given to the lucky couple who get married at the fair grounds on July Fourth. The New York store at Ladoga gives the bride's trosseau,G. W. Graham an elegant pair of curtains, A. S. Miller a $15 lady's bicycle and other articles to correspond from others.

Last Day for Mortgage Exemptions. Tuesday was the last day for filing mortgage exemptions and quite a large pile of applications are now on file in the auditor's office. While the number filed is large it is at least fifty short of last year.

Stole Chickens.

James W. Hibbs wa3 arrested at Waveland last Monday and is now in jail. He is charged with stealing chickens from William H. Thorne, who swore out the complaint.

THOMAS MAPLE, Birkbeck. 111., writes: "I had a very bad case of kidney trouble and my back pained me so I could not straighten up. The doctor's treatment did me no good. Saw Foley's Kidney Cure advertised and took one bottle which cured me and I have not been affected since. I gladly recommend this remedv."
