How Indiana Wai Bought. Washington, 1). C., April 38.-7 Some friends of Brady and others, aefitted of connection with the Star Route scandal, io-dav that the accused are going’to'flght: that Brady will show he sent money to carry Indiana for Garfield Oast year, at the laU ter s request, and that the money was raised for the mail contractors, and thp, President knew it. Also that the articles attacking the Phesrdvnt in con* nectiou with his service at thejhouse of the Appropriation fomtrottee will be published. Whether Brady authorized this declaration of war is not known, but it is being made by some of his friends. ■ JJarnuui is again in. trouble. The. rwiPe oric tMs time -is a suit against him for. $50,000 by Fo.repaugh, his competitor in the show business. • The alleged ground of suit is that Barnum said T'ojtep.iugh ...had bought a lot oi stuffed snakes and monkeys of him. and was selling them up as a first class show. Barnum being unable to give the bail required, is reported to have gone to h’ojepaugh and asked him to go hislniil, but this Jj'orepuugli refused, to do. Being asked by a reporter if this were so, Barnum said it was, and that he thought Adam's refusal, under the circumstances. was a mean thing for a showman to do. Ib e thtuk so too. — Ft. iT'iyac 'Sentinel. — There is talk about dividing Texas into four or five Stales. It rises out of provision agreed upon at the time , Texes was admitted into the I nion,: that no more than five States should 1 ever be made .opt thq Territory, but we do not believe tho Stato will I ever be divided. People lik& to oolong to a big State, and no one wishes to lessen the power of the political organization of which he is a member. They may talk of cutting up the State, but they will finally prefer to keep it I all together, and make it the biggest, most populous, and the most impor- , tant commonwealth in the Union. — MILL PROPERTY FOR SALE: The undersigaed etoeirfcs to sell Ins flouring mH property, located on the ! tiack of the Cincinnati, Richmond &..Fort | Wayne railroad, at Decatur, Adams county.

Notice is hereby given, that at the March, 1881, session of the Board of Commissioners of the County of Adams, State of In-1 diana, a petition was presented by Franklin Bony ft al, praying the Board to establish the following described ditch in said County of Adams, the commence ment, direction, and termimvion being described in said petition, which is on file in the Auditor s office of said county. Said ditch is located on the following route, viz : Commencing 80 rods east of the northwest coiner of the southeast quarter of; section eighteen (IS), township twentyseven (27) north, range fourteen (ll)etst, in Adams county, Indiana, running thence east 150 rods, thenee south 50 degrees east G 6 rods, thence south 80 degrees east 30 rods, thence south 70 degrees east GO rods, thence oast to where said ditch witljntersect Bonham's Run, 80 rods north of a point 90 rods west of the southeast corner of section seventeen (17), township and range aforesaid, and there to terminate. Said petitioners representing “that a large, portion of the lands through which said ditch will pass are totally unproductive for want of proper drainage; that the construction of a ditch will not only be conducive of public health, convenience or welfare, but the same will be of pnblic I benefit and utility, and that such drain- | age cannot be obtained without entering upon and passing through the lauds adjoining, tbeowners of a portion of which are unwilling to engage in the enterprise of improvement. The Board being sa’isfied that the petitioners had, io all respect., complied w ith the aet approved March 9. 1875, entitled “An act to enable owners of wet lands to drain and reclaim them,’ etc, granted the prayer of said petitioners; and appointed G. F.

To She Farmers of JMetrns ami a ~ vJ’lj .IdJoining ComUies. T wiU c>ill year attention to a inat.l ter that eemtefn* you as well as myself. The culture of flax is very imperfectly 1 understood by a latdffi majority of our ■-. fanners.< 1 desire to call your attent I tion to a few very important pointsand fI ff proper Consideration is given my ! views I have no doubt but that peeuniI ary benefits will accrue to those who j may see proper to follow my instructions. As a general rule our famn<«rs do not properly prepare the soil lor flax seed. The next evil is theic ‘.sowing, which is generally succeeded with a crop’of w’eeds und fox-tails instead .of lint and seed. Two peck's of seed to the aero may produce an average crop if the season is very favorable, but three pecks to the acre is more certain | taking everything into consideration. : The best soil for to sow flax on is sod : ground, and next best to that is good I ' clean corn stubble. The ground should be well prepared, well ploughed and I harrowed fine. Get a field roller and ; make your ground snioothe and fine, j then sow ywnr seed and brush it in with a brush, and put no less- than j three pecks to an acre of ground. ' Our farmers let th*- seed get too ripe I before harvesting ; the result is shrink- ; I age in seed and a very unprofitable ar- I tide to the crusher or manutaeturer. ' Pon’t let your flax get ripe before cut- ! j ting) it is necessary, but wrong, tsoiue ' think seed ought to have n brown coli or before it is fit to cut. This is a mis- i take. When seed is fairly formed tn the boll, and.begins to harden a little, I cut down your flax and let it ripen in i the swath. It will jnature in 8 or 10 i I days. You Will tlienliaye a quality vs i seed that will be "desirable. Seed saved I I in this way will weigh six pounds more ; to the stroked bushel than seed that ; i has ripened while standirg. Try it once j j and vou will be convinced The next matter of importance is I taking care of the straw so it will real i ize for vOu the highest market price. I The farmers of Huntington and adjoining counties are rotting their straw before bringing it into the market and they are well pleased with the arrange-ment.-us the cost of rotting amounts to but very little to the farmers as they are provided with ever facility. This idea of rotting may not meet with much favor: but I have no fears. After the first experiment has been tried you will never want to sell given straw after wards when you can get from 82 to $3 per ton more for rotted than for unrolled. For your information I wiil say that one man can spread out f<fui tons per day. and this amount should cover one acre of ground as near as possible. | It must be shook out and spread very ' light so the grass underneath can be I seen. There is one great advantage in i light spreading: it rots and drys quick ' ly. It will not rot evenly if it is laid down in bunches, as the inside receives material benefit while the exposed ‘ parts will be properly rotted. There : I need be no misunderstanding. hen | ; farmers come to market their straw and if 1 should find fault, say.’ Well. I spread it out and did as you directed,” I I can tell how it has been treated. I j i sometimes get straw that is rotted . enough before the seed is taken off. I also get some that is about half rotted, i These two qualities I can use by . i mixing with well rotted stock. The average price for different qualities will be : For long, clean and well rotted Straw. |8: green and unrotted, ?3. i The cost of rotting will not exceed GO cents per ton to those who own the ground and have cheap labor. Farmers hayipg straw of last years crop wiil find a market for it. If further information is wanted by any par- i ties they wilj find me at the factory. Farmers’ wanting to buy seed for sowing can be accommodated by calling on Niblick. Crawford & sons. T. F. Ntlott. Decatur, Ind., Mar. 17, 1881. Malice to Fathers.

1 —is— YOUR DISEASE ? The doctor nays “I’iics. Yes. Now I read carefully the following (symptoms, and rt ‘ you can tell what your trouble is. It is [ not all files that affect the Reetiun. There is nut one symptom by which the sufferer - i cau. lei> posiuvoly that piles is the malady, F. I nod tliqs is pr.Arflsion from the rectum v Bleeding is no evidence of piles, unless . : protrusion accompanies it. lou have piles 1 w hen there is protrusion from the rectum ; ‘ ' bleeding also multiplies ihe evidence. I’ro--1 ' cideutia also protrudes, but goes back at i once without pressure, aud Joes not bleed. Fissure in Aho. This often bleeds freely at stonl, when the uppev ea I of ihe fissure, which is a ’ crack in the lower end of the rectum and : anal men*brane, opens into R vien. Bleeding aLine is no evidence of fissure, but when at. or after stool, a severe, *ch- ; ing, throbbing pain is set op in lower end i of the rectum, making the person suffer ail < over, sometimes being a continuous and st other times lasting from one to six hours ; then you can rely on having a fissure in ano. It is not piles. Rectal Ulcer a Fearful Malady. Now rsad casEruti-v 1 In this malady is Death's habvest! The eymptoms, at I different" stages of the disease, are verydifferent. Stihiy ths WEki The malady ‘ is a very common .and dreadful one tn its ; results, and often, unless w’ltehfwl. it will ' not be noticed seriously until too late to [be cured. For this reason it is a dreadful i malady. Like a serpent, it has you before I you think seriously of it. The symptoms change as the disease advances. I will try and follow them from the first to last: Bleeding at stool and often morning diar- ' I rhiea, resembling coffee-grounds: constipation; very slow, hard stools; desire to I remain long at stool; very lame bacx and Urns; pain' in the abdomen: poor stom- I ach; dyspepsia; heart affection; loss or | I memory ; paininbise of brain and neck : : liver trouble; severe cough, more from stomach than lungs; asu-coloreo com- ! vlexion : wrinkled outer corners ot eye®; I [discharges of mucus like white of egg: : lower end of stool hard and lumpy ; small. [ [ hard and painful lumps, one or more, just oiKside the rectum; presence of fissure; 1 fistula; week, lame knees and thighs; back and hips get sore in bed; painful i burning in soles of feet; kidney and uri • nary troubles; numbness of legs: sore I nerves, muscles and joints, called rheum*- [ i tism: very annoifirig itehinff abeut the anv«, I I always caused by rectal ulcer; and, finally. ! entire destraction of sphincters and anal membrane —wrecked manhood and womanhood—poor, feeble, weakly, broken-down bodies and minds. Again, very constant diarrhea, up often at night, diabetics, paralysis of limbs and brain: “softening ot brain:' acute inflammation of bowels and stomach : severe ' hemorrhages of bowels: mstnity; tired of life; no pleasure in life. Then comes death and ends all after a wasted life fiom ruined health. This milady takes thousands of young men and women from us I have bad oases at sizieen as well as at eighty. It is, in diseases, as the lion is amongst beasts, the monster to be dreaded. This malady is commonly called by the j profession “Blind Piles. There is noth- . ing like piles abont it. lam fully satisfied that this malady is no respecter of age or | persons. It comes, generally, from injury to the mucus membrane from hard, sharp, [ passing substances with the stool, such as [ fish and other small bones, fruit seeds. | pieces of oyster shells, splinters, of beef i bones, etc. After the injury inflamtn itfon occurs, an 1 an abcess or sore is started : passing fsjees poison and irritate ii; it I finally inflames the whole Hinone mem ; brane and nervous system deceive the pro [ . tession wonderfully as to womb and vaginal troubles—“female weakness and other I ills to which it may be changed. I have I a number of cases that will tear me out I in the above statement. Persons often say to say to me, “my 1 suffeiing is not in ihe rectum, but in my : back, kidneys, stomaeh, limbs, bead etc. | So I tell yon in my circulars. A sm ill sore on the toe or finger will often produce a kernel in the groin or under the arm Would it not he folly to doctor the kevnal | instead of the toe or tinner Remove the I cause, and the kernal wilt disappear. And [ yet when persons so say to me. as stated ; itbive. when their attention is directed tr> , thetaci they will say, “Yes. 1 am eonsti- ‘ paled, but take pills to keep my bowels open: Imratnuzii long la the closet.’ This is all the eaidenee you want to prove : I the presence of an ulcer. I'hen you have the “kernels" all through your system, 1 too. What more doyoswaat? Without | ! congestion and inflatnumtion in your rec- ] turn, whv become costive ! That dries up the fluids and produces your constipation. Only reason a little and you will soon ; trace effects back to causes. The Electii:r. The rectum is the lower end of the large [ I bowel. In length it varies owing toilie'i I build of its possessor—but, in general, is I from three to sis inches long. It differs [ i from the colon in this, viz: in position it t : is nearly erect, anl so kept, from its con- I . nection ’ with the tis-ue between it and j spinal column. If an nicer should eat : j through the wall of the colon the opening wotl’d be Into the abdoptinal Curiiy. So. too, is the case, if its I .cation islatteral or ' anterior, which, forttinately, l» seldom the i case—in the rectum. Nearly always do we find the ulcer in the posterior j art of ' rectum; but in time, ft often eats latterly I and, semntmes entirely around the wall. 1 Toward the spinal column it cau barrow deeply! Into such cavity, when produced, enters, at stool, porti.tis of the passing fteceß, until, in time, the cavity becomes solidly filled, and the wall of the ulcer dMi tended so that the impaction is greatly . larger than the orifice through which it entered! In this condition'the pressure : upon the nerves and tirsue be omes very severe and trying and the former becomes ‘ paartially, and sometimes, entirely parlyzed! This impaction must be removed, ;or death will soon result! In this impac- , tion is written the words "Heart Dit'a*-,"’ I very often, tr*t«l -on I This impac- j ‘ tion, filling the cavity and forcing tbe tissue and membrane into a globular form. i pressing it uard against ihe opposite w*B.-i or side and almost closing tbe canal, is one : * of the important causes of “tibiien-e baped | stools, and also, oue »f the chief cause* of Bar.: v - - ’ | The office of the reethm is a very import- j ant one. It is severely tested, and very | little care taken of it. It becomes injured j Iby passing small hones, sharp oyster . I sheila, seeds of fruit und p iris of ludigest- i i ed appie cores, and by various other hard j ! substances, it becomes lacerated and i 1 bruised—is seldom cleaned by injections of pure water after stool, as it should be—the laceration and injuries become sores there, rßou(aide —severe foiiows. in i death Js the result.

Dr. Brinkerhoff says; *‘l have become fully convinced, from my practice and experience, that a vast majority of cases , called consumption are produced by, or are simply dbees of, rectal ulceration.
