Mr. J. R. Howard, employed at the American clothing store, and living at 309 south Water street, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me of a very severe pain in my back and across my loins. I procured them at Moffett & Morgan's drug store, and before I took half a box the pains left me and have not returned, thanks to that reliable remedy.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1901.

.IN public life there is no sadder sight than that of a man with a sore toe and the inability to keep a rag on it.

MR. BRYAN says that "McLaurin represents the dollar and Tillman the man." Maybe so, but then it's a mighty good dollar and a mighty poor man.

THE Alews-Meview is disposed to knock on the decision of the supreme court in the insular cases. This will be harrowing news for the members of the supreme court.

THE Darlington Echo says the world would be better if people visited graveyards oftener. If some of them on arriving there would stay the world would certainly be much better.

A REPORT from New York is to the effect that there is a famine in the horse market. This is not in accordance with the automobile prophecies of a couple of years ago and the English sparrows should cheer up.

THE glass factories are leaving the gas belt as fast as they can untie themselves from it. When our interurban line brings us in cheap coal from Fountain county we will be in a position to go after one of these factories.

THE governor of South Carolina has refused to accept the resignation of Senators McLaurin and Tillman, and after calling the bluff is evidently prompted to make his historic observation to the governor of North Carolina.

A REPORT comes from New Richmond to the effect that the health officer there has refused to enforce the quarantine and that as a result contagious diseases have spread. If this is true a red hot prosecution should be inaugurated.

PEOPLE are just beginning to notice that every one of the contentions made by Senator Beveridge in the insular debates in the senate was upheld by the supreme court. His party leaders criticised Bome of his holdings and the Democrats derided others, but the supreme court held them all good, so Mr. Beveridge is probably feeling pretty well just at present.

(.. INDIANAPOLIS Journal: It is announced that on July 1 the poatoffice department will be operating free delivery routes at an annual cost of & 000,000. If congress would put an end to the frauds in second-class matter the postoffice department could not only expend double that amount in free rural delivery, but wipe out the postal deficit.

News-Bemew:—How do you like 10 cent McKinley wool, Mr. Farmer? Mr. Farmer:—Well, it's considerably better than the twelve cent Democratic wool I used to raise, and when I consider that the price of nearly everything else I raise is just about double the price of Democratic times I feel that there is no particular kick coming on the McKinley brand of prosperity.

A REPORT just received by the department of state, from the U. S. consul general at St. Petersburg, gives the figures in detail, of the commerce between the U. S. and Russia, for the calendar year 1900. We bought from Russia, mostly raw materials, 81,790,280 worth of goods, and we sold Russia goods to the value of $21,661,515, of which raw cotton was the principal article, its value being $18,413,310.

WATTKRSON SPEAKS OUT. Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who so valiantly supported Bryan during the last campaign, is now in arms against him. In an interview in New York last week he said: "The dispute between Mr. Bryan and myself is inside Democratic alignment, and relates solely to the question of accepting accomplished facts and of lining up in 1904 upon a platform which •shall be constructed to meet the exigencies of the time instead of once again investing our all upon twice beaten platforms, made up largely of discredited theories and dead or dying issues. "You 'will understand that the sum total of my offense is that I urge upon Mr. Bryan, and through him upon the Democratic party, the wisdom of accepting accomplished facts for which we are not responsible, and of address ing ourselves to the altered political situation brought about by those accomplished facts. The Philippines are with us to stay. "He has had his (ling and has failed. He should yield leadership to other hands and devote himself to healing the breaches. It comes with but ill grace for one who has been given his own way and made such poor accounting to denounce discussion as treason and to stigmatize all who do not agree with him as traitors: and, in view of this, the rank and file of the party may well ask themselves whether they may not have in 1904f to [reckon with a dog in the manger." "Is it your opinion, then, that the Democratic party rmust make a new platform in 1904?" "A new platform and a new leader. The old ones are shopworn."

IN reply to a letter from Capt. Hunter, of the Third U. S. Cavalry, now in the Philippines, saying that a number of his men whose terms were about to expire, would re-enlist if assured that they would return to the United States when their troops was ordered home, the following communication was sent from the adjutant-general's office, with the approval of Secretary Root: "Reenlistment does not place the soldiers in the category of long-service men. It is contemplated by the secretary of war, that when the new conditions brought about by the army reorgani zation bill adjust themselves, to announce to the army that it is not the policy of the government to continue officers and men on foreign service for the mere reason that their superior physique ha9 given them immunity from disease. This will mean that officers and men will follow the fortunes of the organization to which ihey may be assigned."

MR. BRYAN declared vociferously last campaign that the Porto Ricans and Filipinos were not fit to be citizens of the United States. It IB difficult to understand then why he should take exceptions to that ruling of the supreme court which bars these people from citizenship. Mr. Bryan, should have waited until after the decision bofore delivering himself, and then possibly he might have found that the people in question were intellectual patriots deprived of their rights by cruel might.

JUSTICE BREWER, one of the dissenting judges in the insular cases, demonstrated his lack of legal knowledge a second time last week by taking out a marriage license in the District of Columbia for his marriage int Vermont. The Vermont minister who performed the ceremony had to tip the law off lo the justice of the supreme court.

NOBLESVILLE Ledger: Hon. Fred Sims, Ninth district chairman, has been appointed chief deputy revenue collector of the Terre Haute district by John R. Bonnell, the new collector. Both Bonnell and Sims are bright, active, Intelligent Republicans, who richly deserve the places that have been given them.

In Memory.

Once again the grim reaper of death has passed over our midst and called from labor to reward another loved one.

Maggie, daughter of J. J. and Amanda Evans, was born Dec. 21, 1879, died May 29, 1901, aged 21 years, 5 months and 8 days. She was married to Harvey Linn April 5, 1900. She joined the Mace M. E. church in 1893 and was a firm believer in the ChrlS' tian religion. One by one the sickle of time oiips the llowersof life, some in bud, some withered with age, some In full bloom. This was one of the blooming flowers of life, cut down just as the real life began. She leaves husband, father, mother, five brothers, one sister and a host of friends to mourn her death. But mourn not for her dear friends, for she has only answered the call of her Master and has gone higher.

The Powers in the noon-time will wither, The treasures we cherish decay And our loved ones, on earth we'd have linger

Forever, are passing away.

Maggie sleeps alone in her beauty, So still and white 'ncatb the sod But clad in the robes of the angels, ,•

Her spirit Is resting with God. A FRIEND.

A Fine Horse.

Prank Britton, the liveryman's trotting stallion, "Reflector," took the first premium for light harness Saturday at the Linden horse show.

HIS RESIGNATION.

Mr. Alexander Formally Tenders His Res' Ignatlon as Pastor of Center Church.

A desire was expressed by members and officers of the church to have the statement appear in THE JOURNAL The statement follows as read, but it was prefaced by remarks in which the pastor assured his people 'that he had not been in haste to leave them. He had more than once discouraged calls fully as flattening as the one which now came to him. Reference was made to the consideration shown by the congregation toward one who, when he came to Crawfordsville had had only two and a half years of experience. He said that his work here had been in part that of an apprentice. Mr. Alexander then spoke briefly of the opportunity afforded by the Cleveland field and of the reasons which led him to believe that he ought to accept. The resignation waB as follows: "I tender to you my resignation as your pastor to take effect after Sunday, June 23rd. I ask the members of this church and congregation to hold a meeting on Wednesday evening of this week to act upon this resignation and to appoint commissioners who shall join with me in requesting Presbytery to dissolve the relations subsisting between us. "My people, in returning to you the call which you placed in my hands more than five years ago I am conscious of a feeling of deep and real pain. You are not a demonstrative people. I am not a demonstrative man. By common consent we have minimized mere personalities here. Bat as we have looked into one another's faces from week to week with that earnestness which befits the sanctuary, as I have come to know you socially, and as I have been privileged in your homes to sympathize with you in your hours of sorrow and in your hours of joy, I have learned to entertain that sort of regard for you which is the only basis of sincere and lasting affection. On the other hand some recent expressions on your part embolden me to believe that these five years have given to me and to those dear to me a place in your regards from which neither time nor distance shall be able wholly to expell us. As our paths diverge may He, whose wo are and whom we serve, guide us and youjwherever we are and by whichever road we travel, may all our hearts and faces be toward the eternal city. The very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be- preserved blameless unto the-coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

A Border Warfare.

Rose Wyant, residing near Bowers, this county, was arrested last Thursday morning by the officers of Boone county, charged with assault and battery with intent to murder. It is alleged that she shot at Mrs. Eva Lawler as the latter came out of Austin Woodard's house, the Wyant woman being in a buggy, driving along the road at the time. When the shot was fired the Wyant woman is alleged to have remarked: "Now I've got you." The 8hot went wild. Mrs. Lawler claims she saved herself and the child that was in her arms, by falling to the ground. Rosa Wyant, it is said, attempted to fire a second time but Austin Woodard, who was at hand, prevented. She was arrested and taken to Thorntown, where she gave bond in sum of $200 for her appearance in a jus tlce of the peace court next Wednesday.

Rosa Wyant declares she never fired a shot, although she had a revolver which she claims she carried on advice of her lawyer. She further says that the entire Woodard family and Mrs. Lawler were [concealed behind some shrubbery awaiting an opportunity to assault her as she passed by, and says that Austinl Woodard flourished his revolver and threatened to shoot hef.

The present trouble Is said to have been the result of bad blood between the WoodardB and Wyants, which has existed for some time.

The former company has refused the Midland use of Big Four switches at Muncie. The Big Four has completed its new yards in thiB city to the point where the tracks cross the Midland.
