TO COLLECT INCOME TAX. The appropriations committe received Thursday afternoon from the Treasury the estimates of the money required to carry the income tax provision of the tariff bill into effect ; for the remainder of the present fiscal year; beginning January 1, 1895. The estimate for the collection of the tax until July 1, 1895, will aggregate nearly to $245,095. The appropriation to provide forjthe collection of the income tax will be incorporated in an urgent deficiency bill, the consideration of which will be begun on Monday and which will be immediately passed. The people paecipitate the first general political skirmish of the session,The eastern members, irrespective of party, will, as a rule, oppose the appropriation, and the debate will probably bristle with acrimony. Never before did a Congress meet on whose action for welfare of a great political party depended more completely than the present one. It can do much to help the Democratic party. It can do much to injure it. Its plain duties are to pass bills for free coal, free iron and the removal of the differential” duty on refiend sugar; to provide for 9 paper currency which will be elastic and at the same time safe; to provide, if possible, some peaceable method for the settlement of labor troubles. That there is diversity of opinion on all these sub jects is well known, and the people await with anxiety to she whether personal interests can again triumph over considerations of public welfare. In spite of the imprecations being showered upon the head of Hoke Smith and the pension department of our government the deserving veterans seem to be getting their rewards bountifully, and we have cases tending to prove this fact in Bagrange county. Under the Harrison regime, C. W. Rodman, of Wolcottville, applied tor - an increase of pension and was denied the same by Commissioner Raum. With his usual zeal for his clients’ interests, Pension Agent Kromer appealed the case to the head of the interior department—the much-damned Hoke —and as a result an order has just been made allowing the increase asked for. • The pension department of this administration is as loyal to the old veteran as any of its prececessors.

Dun’s Report for the Week Ending, Dec. 8, 1894. It is difficult to detect any change in current business. Propects for business after January 1, are quite generally considered more hopeful, m some branches there are larger orders, and the West bound shipments of merchandise are a little larger. But the working force naturally diminishes near the end of the year, and the holidy traffic brings just now a temporary activity which is not of much general significance. The meeting of Congress, and the announcement of the new currency plan and of various bills proposed, have not affected the situation perceptbly. Payments for bonds have been completed without disturbance, but do not prevent the shipment of Some gold to Europe to-day. On the whole, agricultural prodefcts are scarcely stronger, and the wages of labor do not advance, but there is reason to expect the employment of somewhat larger working force after the holidays. V Portland Millers Out of Jail. Wallace and Button Neal, of the suspended Centennial Mills, who have been in jail for two weeks for embezzlement, gave bond at noon yesterday. They were immediately re-arrested on another charge and taken back to jail. Several more warrants were not served.

A Feast. The Odd Fellows and their families met around the festal board last Monday evening. After the regular business of the evening was attended to, the Daughters of Rebecca, with a few of the Male Becks, invited the members of the subordinate lodge to the banquet hall of the lodge room, where a fine spread was awaiting them. Being so situated we could not be there and thereby missed a chance of our lifetime and it may be the last chance for a good square meal, but the brothers that were there say that it was beyond description, that is the way some of them filled tbomselves up, but the good sisters and the ones having the arrangements in charge, had got a plenty when getting so that all were satisfied. This was one of the many pleasant gatherings that the lodge had, thereby uniting in a more social bond that fraternal tie that unites all members of the order in one family of brothers. Tub Republican Senators have, notified the Democrats that they I will oppose any amendments to the tariff law unless the whole subject is opened. This gives the Democrats a great opportunity for a winning fight on the pop-gun bills. Let them begin with the bill for the repeal of the differential tax on refined sugar, and force the fighting- - , Take advantage of the reduced prices on Photos during Holidays at Moser’s Studio. d212-tfw39-l

FREE HOME TREATMENT, f Catarrh Cured by Thousands by Dr. Hartman. The symptoms of chronic catarrh vary according to the stage and exact location of the disease. The first stage of catarrh of the nose and bead produces discharge from the nose, sneezing, pain in the eyes and forehead, weak, and sometimes watery eyes, occasionally loss of memory. In the last stage the discharge ceases, and dry, offensive scabs form in the nose; polypi growths sometimes form in one or both nostrils, and the pain in tho head and eyes is much less- Unless something is done to prevent, the catarrh will follow the mucous membrane into the lungs, where it will be followed by cough, night sweats, rapid loss of flesh, and the other dread symptoms of consumption. To all such people Dr. Hartman’s treatment comes as a great boon. It is only necessary to send name and address to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O. and* complete directions for first month’s treatment will be sent free Not only is it more successful in curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists,, but it is in the reach of every person in thia land.

Sent free to anv address. 5 Last Thursday eve. in ourcity adistinguished company of guests were entertained at dinner in an ellegant manner. The board of Mr. and Mrs. Hensley was graced by shades of grand dames and gents, who in former years adorned and added dignity to the stately rooms of the White House. They were mod’ ern in appearance and had appreciative appetites and strangely enough they resembled certain well-know citizens of Decatur so closely that the most painstaking observer was deceived Persons living in the vicinity of the Hensley residence hearing lunusual sounds of merriment satisfied a perfect ly natural curiosity by bringing field glasses to bear upon the company and, I found them engaged in the very I mundane endeavor to decide - ‘What to take on a trip to Europe,” and “What it is.” These same curious persons declare that it was only a humdrum gathering of such every day persons as J. D. Hale, and wife. Arthur Fisher and wife, J. Q. Neptune and wife, John Peterson and wife, Will Keubler and wife, Mesdames McMillen,Gregg, Moffett, Miss Orvis, Mrs. Kapp, of Bluftton, and W. T. Alverson, of Spencer. For Sale—Nine head of shoats; good stock, will weigh about 100 pounds. Cail on Jonathan Merrvman, Washington township, seven miles southwest of Decatur. 39-1

ELIZABETH FONNEfc Upon the 6th of Sept. 1838, near Decatur, Ind., Elizabeth Pillars was born, at Decatur, upon the 26th day of Nov. 1894, she quietly passed away to join the “‘choir invisible” Fifty-six years, two months and twenty days were consumed in the passage through this world. Fully cognizant that this was not rest, but merely her pilgrimage. Her whole life was lived with an eternal abiding place in view. Early in life she united with the M. E. Church and her first consistency was born of eternal steadfastness. In 1836, Jan.!)lb, she married John Fonner, who finished the pilgrimage a number of years ago. Five came to gladden their hearts, four* daughters and one son. All survive save one daughter alone, Lizzie, who scarce more than a year ago passed on to view more dlosely “The beauty of the Lord our God?’ .In storm is the vessel tested, in deep sorrow does the soul show its true self. Through the long sickness of the daughter the mother waited, watched and prayed and a g she passed away caught a glimpse oi the eternal city. Then the same dire malady began its insidious work upon mother, patiently she waited and suffered until the mansion prepared for her was completed and a heavenly host came and gently bore her away to everlasting rest. She was an ideal mother, whose life will have its influence for good upon all who knew her. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. E. T. Gregg, assisted by Rev. W. I. Alexander, pf the Presbyterian church at the home, from which she was borne to Maplewood where she was laid to rest. How to Be Popular. Don’t find fault.
