Better Cheaper.; fj THE ROYAL/BAKING POWDER is more economical than other brands because of its greater leavening strength, as shown by both the U. S. and Canadian Goyernment Reports. I The other baking powders contain from 20 to 80 per cent, less • leavening gas than the ROYAL. So the ROYAL, even should ‘ it cost more than the others, would be much the cheaper. In addition to this the superior flavor, sweetness, wholesomeness and delicacy of the food raised by ROYAL BAKING ' - POWDEIt would make any difference in cost insignificant Highest of all in leavening strength.— « Latest U. S. Government Food Report. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. (?

The National Furniture Co., of Albany, are quite anxious to move their factory to thip city. They, however, wish ground and buildingThe land will be furnished by A. T.

It will only cost about $12,000 to put up the building required, they are now ’running about or 30 __haudß and, $ Aw. -- - f suits, side boards, tables, uhds 1 and clothes presses. They *ve a very good sale m this line, /a they sell all they make at Chicago, thus showing that their wares are such as commaiid the attention of the jobbers of the country. This should be investigated, and if the same can be made to improve our city, then there should be an effort on pu‘r paftTo bring the plant to this place. More manufactures is what we need to improve our city, and such are the .kind that we should look after. The fuel in the most of factories is a large item in the expense account, but when the waste will furnish the fuel then it cuts but a small figure, so that we must depend on factories that furnish their own fuel. While we z have no Board of Trade,. we have citizens with enough enterprise to investigate the same.

Our new brick street is doing very well, but that tine is not sufficient to supply the demand of our fine growing city. Other, streets will be bricked in another year or two so that it will be but a short time until all our streets will be built of brick, while the crushed stone that has been put on the streets will be used as a foundation on which to build the brick streets, the ebst being the only reason that a petition has not been filed asking for one to be built the coming season. The cost can be greatly reduced by the manufacturing of the brick here as was suggested last year by the Democrat. There is no question about the material here out of which to make the brick, and but a short time will pass until the same will be done, and to the right -parties there will be money in the making ol such brick. So let the work be commenced at an early day.

The Democrat party will celebrate January by a meeting at Inidanapolis for the purpose of arranging for the future policy of the party in the State of I ndiana. A number of the leading politicians will be present

Now that all the Republican Senators but three have voted against a change in the bounty to the sugar trust, and all the Democratic, Senators but three have voted to remove it, our Republican brethern may profitably close their mouths as to the sugar trust. Although there is a wide difference of opinion as to the proper remedies, there is a practical agreement that our present currency system, or conglomeration of tystems, is insufferably bad. It is also universally conceeded that the present condition of the currency is entirely the result of Republican legislation.

One of the underlying principles of Democracy is its opposition to rings, cliques, combines, trusts and all different combinations for the purpose of robbing the the tax payer of his hard-earned money, but time you will find such within .the party, where they Sourish tor a while or so long as they can rob the tax-payers, and they do not rebel, and at times they have the people so completely in their grasp that they can scarcely get away from the combines that arb robbing them, but the time will come when they can’t be tooled any •longer.

Indiana Supreme Court Changes. Indianapolis, Dec. 21. —The present supreme court met this morning for the last time. When it convenes again in January, two of its members will have gone, and two new judges will have taken their places. Judge J. S. Dailey and Judge S. D. Coffey will retire, their places will be taken, respectively, by Judge L. J. Monks,of Winchester,and Judge J. H. Jordan, of Martinsville, judge Dailey will return to Bluffton, and Judge Coftev to Brazil. The Neals Both Indicted. A Portland, Ind., Dec. 20. —The grand jury, which is now in session, has returned an indictment against Wallace and Burton Neal, proprietors of the suspended Centennial mills, charging them with embezzlement. The indictment has six counts. The Neals are still in jail, being unable to give bond in SIOOO, the amount required. u MILL BURNED. The splendid grist mill of John A. Sprunger, of Berne, burned to the ground last night. The mill was full of gfain and was a total loss, except a few bushels of wheat and a few sacks of flour. The fire originated in the garret and was caused by the heating of a journal. The loss at this time is unknown, but will exceed $12,000. We have been unable to learn the amount of the insurance

An Opera House next summer will be one of the improvements of our city. It will be a good one for tor the size of, this city and one that we may be proud of to help out.

Dun’s RepertforWeek Ending, Bee. 22. But for the large exports of gold and uncertainty about financial legislation, the indications would be more encouraging. Some increase is seen in orders given to manufacturing works, though until the year ends the force actually at work naturally diminishes. The holiday trade has been rather poor at most points, partly owing to mild weather. There is distinctly more confidence shown about the future demand for industrial products, though prices are not better. Domestic exports increase a little, though exportable staples are not better in price. In November the exww of merchandise exports over imports was $29,573,891, besides *2,931,031 silver, and December returns indicate as large an excess. For this very reason the Exports $5,382,071 in gold since last Friday, and the withdrawals of about five times as much gold from the Treasury, are the more noticed. Money continues to accumulate here, and there is no enlargement in the legitimate de tnand for commercial loans, though some offerings of paper, apparently to prepare for yearly settlements, have excited remark.

Prices of agricultural products do not improve. Wheat is unchanged for the week, although Western receipts have fallen to 2,304,925 bushels, against 2,594,061 for the same week last year, and it does not count for much that the Atlantic exports were 936,645 against 744547 last year. The visible supply still grows, and is now 88,173,000 bushels. Corn fell 4 cents for the week, though Western receipts were only 1,522,636 busheles, against 3,582,204 last year, and Atlantic exports more than a third smaller. Government estimates do not seem to affect actual transactions, Cotton has declined a sixteenth to 5.69 cts. and receipts front} plantations continue larger for December than m 1091, when the crop was over 9,000,000 bales. The theory that producers will not market at current prices does not yet fit the fact?. • 9 It is apparently the intention ot the Republicans in Congress to block all legislation of importance at this session. By the failure of the cloture rule, and their combination with the untrue Democrats in the Senate, they will probably be to effect their purpose.

How to Wet to Rochester. How to get to Rochester, without gong through mud half hub deep, is the question that at the present time, and for the last six weeks has been troubling the people living on the Wabash and Peru roads. We come in our free gravel roads until strike the east end of Perry street, in the corporation of Rochester. There we jump off in a mud hole that extends half a mile west to Main street, without any change except some places the mud is deeper than in others. Now, in my mind, I have a scheme to remedy this unnecessary evil, which We have been talking up some, out our way, and with yonr assistance, and,tbe help of the enterpring citizens of Rochester, we can accomplish, so that this will be the last winter we with, have to drag through the mud to get to From the end of the gravel road west on Perry street to Main street is about half a mile. Perry street is already fairly graded. Eight hundred yards of gravel will put nearly a yard of gravel on every three feet of the wav, making a first-class road over to M ain street. The gravel will cost not to exceed 10 cents per jard at the pit Shovelers can be had for $1 per day. A superintendent at $1 80 per day. Now let us see. The gravel will cost SBO, the shovelers $65, superintendent 825, a total of $l7O. The gravel can be hauled from Krautzer’s gravel pit on the L. E. & W. railroad in one hundred and thirty-four days hauling at $2 per day. Value of haulipg $268. We have been talking the matter over in this neighborhood and I feel confident that if the citizens, business men, or corporation will furnish the gravel and pay the shovelers, superintendent, etc., the people who have already donated enough hauling build five miles of free gravel road on the Wabash, and over three mites on the Peru road, will donate the hauling to gravel Perry street. It will only require 67 men two days each to accomplish the work. And as the location of the Normal School building is now a, fixed fact, the graveling of some street leading is only a question of time. So let us have done with the strife between the country and town, all work together to secure the greatest good to the greatest number of individuals and by helping ourselves. If the proper steps are taken the wprk can be accomplished before the first of next April. Hoping to hear the views of others I will close thisalready too long article. —A. G. Sinks, in Peru Republican.

A PRESCRIPTION. The parties who work when honest people sleep gave Dr, Thomas a call on Wednesday night'. Mrs.' Thomas hearing a noise, awoke him, but he attempted to quiet her by saying it was the horse in the barn; but she was sure she heard a strange noise and began to investigate, when she found a window open which the night hawks had broken own with a chisel but were scared awtfy by her calling him. A few doses of shot is the best prescription for such people.
