Germany to Put a Prohibitive Duty on Cottonseed Oil—Other News. * Washington, Dec. 6. — The senate ■bowed its first signs of animation yesterday and engaged in several brisk debates. Mr. Vest’s efforts to secure a change in the rules of order to expedite senate business was the chief event of the day. The usual dullness of a discussion of rules was offset by the prevalent feeling that a cloture rule would have much to do at this particular time with pending tariff bills affecting coal, iron and sugar. Mr. Vest was formerly opposed to cloture, but yesterday he announced his conversion and said cloture was imperative to maintain the and self-respect .of the senate and»the esteem of the public. Mr. Chandler’s sarcasm at Mr. Vest's conversion enlivened the debate. The question went over, but today Mr. Vest will try to secure a vote instructing the committee to report a cloture rule by the 15th inst. Another feature of the day wagihe sharp debate on the China-Japan questions, .brought out by Mr. Lodge’s resolution calling for information as to the torturing of two Japanese students who were under American protection. Mr. Peffer made the first formal speech of the session in favor of a resolution asking the judiciary committee to inquire into the bonds. It was adopted. His resolution asking the president for information on the use of troops at Chicago was referred. Business In the House. Washington, Dec. 6. — The house adopted a special order setting aside each day after the morning hour for the , i»ngideration of the railroad pooling ran, the order to continue until the bill should be disposed of, but not to interfere with conference reports and appropriation bills. The railroads and shipping interests are greatly interested in this measure and members gave close attention to the opening speech by Mr. Patterson in its behalf. Before the discussion of this bill began the house passed three bills—the printing bill and two bills relating to public lands. HAS HILL LOST NERVE ? The New York Senator About the Capitol but Didn’t Enter the Senate. Washington, Dec. 6.—Nobody knows whether it was modesty or something else, but it is a fact that Senator Hill came to the capitol Monday, remained about the building while the senate was in session, but did not show his face in the senate chamber and left the city that At the capitol he went from committee room to committee room, chatting pleasantly with other senators, but he did not enter the chamber. When night came he -took a train for New York, where he will remain, it is said, until this session is at least a week older. The senator has never been accused until now of a lack of nerve, but something this time made him loth to face the crowded galleries: QUAY’S SUGAR BILL. He Offers an Amendment Striking Out AU Duties on That Article. Washington, Dec. 6. —In the senate yesterday Senator Quay proposed a substitute for the sugar bill now pending in the senate in the shape of an amendment. It strikes out all of the bill afjer the enacting clause and inserts the following: That so much of the act entitled “an act to reduce taxation, to provide revenue for the government and for other purposes,” as provides that upon all sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard in color and upon all sugars which have been discolored there shall be levied and paid a duty of Q of 1 cent per pound in addition to a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem, shall be and the same is hereby repealed.

It is claimed that Armenians were guilty of gross outrages upon Musselmah women. " Voorhees Gratified. Washington, Dec. 6. —Senator Voorhees expresses considerable pleasure that the Muncie Democrats have decided to hold a primary election to determine their choice for postmaster. The senators have recommended the editor of The Herald, but prefer to lie relieved of the responsibility of selecting a postmaster. German Duty on OIL Washington, Dec. o.—Germany has taken the initial step toward curtailing the importation of another American product by enormously increasing the duty on cottonseed oil. The proposition is to increase the present duty from $1 to $2.50, equivalent to a duty of 250 per cent, and the proposition will surely Succeed. Indianian Recognized.

DEDICATED. The names, Washington, Winchester or Decatur are but the memories, in commemoration of the lives of illustrious members of community. As Father Tifne lays his ruthless hand upon great and small alike and breakes tne strongest ties of earthly friendship, we realize how useless is the flight of human aspiration, or how needless the piling up 0 worldly possessions. Upon the granite shaft or marble slab you may read the last act, in life’s uncertaimdrama, of him or her, whose energy left land-marks as a guide to the changing van of human progress, The Dent School. What the significance? This name was doubtless given by a teacher who is said to have taught more than a dozen terms in this district. Dent, the name of Adams county’s first auditor, Decatur’s second mayor, one of Adams county’s clerks of the circuit court, yet, where are now to be found those once influential personages? In 1872 the scholars of the Dent school first enjoyed the comforts experienced in the occupancy of a brick school house—the first or the kind in Adams county. This was an elegant structure for its surroundings, but the farms, dwellings and finances of Root township have greatly changed in a quarter of a eentury. The ever changing demand of the times, still asking for something modern, wanted an equivalent to those school advantages enjoyed by neighboring localities. Township Trustee BhJwn in response to this demand supplanted the little brick building, that served so well its purpose, by an elegant brick and stone structure provided with modern improvements. Facing as it does the west and north, it greets the passer by, and ever reminds the thinker that he is now in a locality of prosperous citizens, and in a township whose management is in the hands of one whose estimation of education is shown by his works. At thtf hour last Saturday all the public school teachers of Root township, the trustee, county superintendent aud a number of patrons and visitors assembled in the new school building in the Dent district, to perform the dedicatory service of the recently completed edifice. The school rendered some interesting exercises, which were supplirnented by vocal music of the teachers present.

The patrons of the district, furnished an excellent dinner, and encouraged the enterprise by their presence. The work of the second township institute program was disposed of by the teachers. After some general remarks and a short speecli by the trustee, the premises were surrendered to the cause of education in the future, and to Mr. J. B. Dutcher, the. teacher for the present term. “At Dinner." Relief In Six Hour*. Distressing Kidney and Bladder diseases relieved in six hours by the “New Great Sooth American Kidney CurE."

A Good Suggestion. Editor Democrat: Recent sad occurances in our city demonstrate the necessity of a hospital for the care of those afflicted with contagious diseases. Safety demands that the first Victim of an infectiousdisease in a familyshould be entirely and without delay separated from other members of the family who are liable to contract the disease. This is only possible where a house is large and where a room distant from the living rooms of the family can be set apart for such purposes, and where one person can give their exclusive time to the care of the patient. It can not be done in a small inconvenient house, and Where the mother has the entire care of the household. Humanity demands, therefore, that provisions be made by the city for emergencies of this kind. There is little doubt that bad the first child in the family—which has been so severly afflicted—been removed to a well ventilated apartment, and placed under proper hygienic surroundings, with a competent nurse, to give it attention that it might have lived and the other children spared the suffering and loss of life which has resulted from neglect of this precaution. No doubt that everything was done that under existing circumstance could be done, but the lesson should not pass unheeded, that a hospital or retreat of some sort should be pro vided for all cases where isolation and proper care cannot be secured at home, and this does not apply to the poor exclusively, for many in good circumstances would of necessity need to avail themselves of such public advantages.

MRS. H. L. PORTER. Tuesday, at 7 o’clock in the evening, at Hotel Francois, Mrs. H. L. Porter, aged 64 years, died of heart disease. Though she had been sick for a week or more there was no sign of death until a few minutes liefore she passed away, and she was conscious until she died. Mrs. Porter was born at Newark, Ohio, in 1831, and was married 18 years later in Decatur, Indiana. Eight years after Mr. and Mrs. Porter moved to Rochester, this state, and that city has since been the family home. Mr. Porter died nine years ago, while spending a week on his farm near Huron, S. D. There were ten children in the family—five boys and five girls. With the exception of a boy who died in childhood the whole family survive their mother and are all grown up. Lulu, the youngest daughter, having finished her education in Indiana a year ago. For the last four years Mrs. Porter has spent the, greater part of her winters with her daughter, Mrs. Francois, by whpm she has always been tenderly cared for. Throughout her life she was of a retiring nature and mixed little with society, which enabled her the better to spend on,her children the motherly devotion by which jier life was characterized, and which was continued to her grandchildred after the members other own, family had found homes of their own. No mother could have lived a life of greater self sacrifice for her children and of thoughtfulness for all who in anyway were related to her, and the benefit of this while she lived, even she reaped in her peaceful contented mind. The funeral will take place to-day at 3 o’clock, from the Hotel Francois, Rev. John Sinclair, of the Presbyterian church, conducting the services. The remains will be interred in this cemetery. It is intended that the remains of Mr. Porter will be removed from Rochester to this cemetery also.—'Redwood (Minn.,) Gazette, Nov. 22, The subject of the above sketch was for a long time a resident of this county.

OBITUARY. Kansas K., daughter of Samuel and Polly Steele, was born Sept. 27,1868, and died Nov. 30, 1894, aged 26 years, 2 months and 3 days. She was baptized by Rev. U. H. Gallant In January 1886 and united with the Pleasant Mills Baptist church of which she has remained a faithful member until called from the church militant to the church triumphant. December 12,1889 she was united in marriage with Charles Yager by Rev. D. B. Reckard. Strong was the love which bound these two hearts together and made them one, but it was not strong enough to prevent the onward march of the Angel of .Death who, we are told, loves a shining mark. One son, Milton, who is now *22 months old was born to them. For years she has fought against that dread disease, consumption, but at last strength gave way and she saw that It was the Lord’s Will that she should go, then like a submissive child she yielded to the Father’s will. As the time she became anxious to go. “Oh let me go home to be with Jesus,” she would say. Dea|h had no terrors for her. Sue made arrangements for her funeral as calmly as If giving directions about the ordinary affairs of life. She could scarcely wait for the Master to come for her. At about 5 o’clock Friday evening she passed peacefully away to the home on high. Three sisters had proceeded her to the better land. Her sorrows and sufferings are over, her trials are past. The race is run, the victory won. She is not dead but sleeps, we believA in Jesus, A sleep in Jeaus is a blessed sleep from which none ever wakes to weep. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church at Pleasant Mills last Sunday morning, the pastor preaching the sermon from John 14:1 and Rev. Freeland assisting in the service. A large number of relatives and friends followed the form of the loved one to its resting place in the Pleasant Mills cemetery. Another of the members of our church has gone. Another home is desolate, but out of the gloom and the darkness we can hear the Master’s voice : ‘ It is 1, be not afraid.” “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also In me.”
