■ ■—— [ noticed in last week's Democrat of a man dying that was living in the west part of the state by the name of Win Hoagland in a tew days after that Wm Hoagland of Decatur recieved a memorial card statnig his death March 22 I was much surprised to read my own obituary./ They stated if the friends wishecl to keed the card send fifteen cents, they just made a slight mistake Mr. Wm. Hoagland of Adams county is still on deck yet L don't want it published that I died drunk this is the second time they had me dead a few years ago I was hit on the bead by a limb of a tree I was i pretty bad used up for a while, when I got able to go to town B. H. Dent said to me? it was a good thing you looked up to heaven you did. That was just what savedrbay life. A man said to me in Wabash I saw in the | Cincinnati Enquirer of the death of • Hoagland of Adams county. They | were misinformed that was all I am still here as a tiller of the soil. You I are commanded to sow whether you , reap or not. very little have I reap of ■ my sowing the last few years. Wlien j we look at the past we see quite a contrast. a few years after we came to j Adams county we raised four hundred bushels of wheat on ten acres now if we get four hundred bushels on 40 acres we are doing a big tiling, spending all the crop is .worth in fertilizing, the only thing that is in my favor is yvhen tfier- is a good fruiferop.

INDIANA STATE. SOLDIEHN HOMIE. A Description of the Home by n Member and Former Resident of Decatur. The Soldiers Home is located on the west side of the Wabash river, three and or.e-baif miles from, midway between La Fayette and the battle ground. The land on which the Home is located is on the eminence of a hill surrounded by all the beautv nature couJd possibly plan, overlooking deep ravines, the Wabash river and affords a picturesque birds-eye view of Ln Fayette and the beautiful coufitry for miles around. The home is nofsurpassed tor its beauty and surroundings by any in the United States. Driving to the Home from LaFayette is over a smooth gravel road entirely perfect. Just before reaching the home you come to Tecumsah.’s Trail, a pleasure ground. A steep winding road leads to the top of tbe hill two hundred yards from the Wabash river There von will find the Indiana State Soldiers Home. There is about 256 acres of land belonging to the home and stveh large buildings. The first one you see on reaching the grounds is the quarter master’s building now used as headquarters. One hundred yards from this building is the eommisary where all the rations are kept, this building has an ice plant connected with it and can freeze BUM pounds of ifie daily it required. Comrade. Win Bulrv. of LaFayette has charge of the eommisary department an comrade Porter Chainbertain. of Ft Wayne, attends to the freezing of the ice 'The next, and largest building, is the ‘‘old folks’’ building tor men and their wives. This building is in charge of Sarg’t. B. F. Quinn, of Brazil, Indiana. The building contains 33 rooms and accomodations for that many married couples. The rooms are all heated by steam and furnished first-class. Tbe rooms are 12x16 in dimensions and contain a substantial iron bedstead with good springs a good wool matress. nicely laundned linen and plenty of good bed clothes, a center table, bureau, mirror, large rocking chair, one straight back chair, wash stand, bowl and pitcher, 'everything that is required to make one comfortable. The building is lighted bv electricity and has four iirst-cla-s bath looms, hot and cold water at ail hours of the day and night. There is also a dining room, kitchen and pantry. There is 200. members in- the home and the last three rooms are used as sleeping apartments, the home being crowded ' ' Another short waikliririt’s yon to the : widows bifiiding. This is one of the ■finest bhiliiings-in tim home. Ou the second floor are twenty-five nicely furnished -ingle looms. The first fioWo* • tins building is the dnmg.room where | the widows and al.l the occupants of ! the cottages dike their meals Tiife | dining ball seats .W people three rows ol tallies seating ten each A kitchen bakery and pantry are corivieuentlv arranged. Wm. Lenord, a first-class took. | from a soldiers home in Dakota, has charge of the cooking department We have three good meals per day. Breakfast at 7. Dinner at 12 and supper at 6. We have coffee for breakfast and dinner and tea for supper Tim meals are all substantial, no fine meals. The dinnerconsists of meats. vegitabTes and desert. Friday We have boiled or fried eggs for breakfast and salt fish for dinner Two hundred yards west from the widows home is tbe power house. Here is where our laundary work is done. Some 3000 pieces are washed weekly. This building is also where the power is furnished for the electric lights. The grounds are illuminated with about -50 incandesent lights. The management of this building and the heating of all the buildings in the home is done by comrade Geo. W. Reed, whom many 'of your readers knew when he, was a resident of Decatur. ' On what is called Prospect Point near the south end of the grounds is the hospital, it has accommodations for 50 patients At each end of the building are large wards for lady and gentleman .patients, twelve beds in each ward. Several seperate rooms are also provided. At the present time there are 9 patients there for treatment. 2 women' and 7 men Dr. W, P. Yonkey, of LaFayette, is the head surgeon and Dr. T. F. Sargent is assistant surgeon. He spends his entire time at the Home. The second floor is his living apartment. There are good.bath' rooms, dissecting rooms. Linnet rooms, drugstore doctors office and a well furnished parlol* also dining room, kitchen and pantry. Mr. and Mrs, Green are the cooks Com rade Norris who had experience in the rebellion, is tbe careful watch of the day, while Mrs. Peterdorf, of LaFayette also an experienced nurse has charge at night. ' Ten cottages are completed and occupied and live more are in course of erection. .- r l'he-cottages are bein&buiit by the. different counties' in the state. The commissioners of 30 counties have been here and selected sites for these cottages. I have not seen the commissioners as your gqod county her© yet. Some of the counties are erecting very

large cottages. Foiir costing each were commenced this week owned bv, Warren, Fountain, Vigo and Tippecanoe counties. Every cottage will have the name of the county that built and donated it painted in large letters so that any one visiting the Home will have no trouble to find their own county's cottage. The Home will be formerly opened on the 4th day of July. with one of the largest celebrations ever known in the history of tbe state. By that time we will have one if not two electric railways completed ami running between LaFayette and the home Govorner Matthews, Gen. Lew Wallace, Gen I. V Walker.-Gen James- R. Carnahan, president of the Home, have promised to be here and Gen. Benjamin Harrison says if possible he will be with üB. We would I'ke to see every county well represented on that day. They can then see what a comfortable home the good state has made and given to those who risked their lives and ruined their constitutions from 1861 to J 865 in defence of that glorious old flag tbe “Star Spangled Banner.” The officers in charge of the home are: Col. McGrew’, he was Captain in the llth Zouaves Gen. Wallace's famous recimeut. and Adj't W. T. Havens Quartermaster in the 17th Ind. Infantry. To their good management and care is dlie the successful way in which things are operated on the grounds. '~r H. I. G. “What Is liiapiralion.”Another large audience greeted Rev. Gregg Sunday evening to listen to the sermon on “What is Inspiration. Before beginning the sermon he read an editorial from the New York Sun, on "God in our Constitution” This sermon in point of logical deductions was far beyond that delivered a week ago. and shows deep study ott the part of Ms. Gregg He said that “inspiration” meant in-breathing, ami in thg-sense in which we speak of men being! inspired, it meant the motive forqe’or power which impelled men and women to act in certain lines That it. was produced by contact with outside influences and especially was it the touch of the infinite power, with the spiritual nature of man. finding its best expression in sculptors,, paintings, deeds of chivalry. in oratory and literature. His subject for next Sunday evening will be “The Inspiration of the Bible. " rte will read an editorial on “Shull Indiana have a Centennial Celebration in 1900.” ~ ; ■ Mr. D. I’.

Want of I'orethoiight. { I was not married long before I discovered that my wife was blessed with the ordinary amount of woman's efiriosity. One day, while 1 was out sheembraced the opportunity to pick the lock of my trunk. Ido not know what she expected to find, but 1 think she must have been disappointed to discover that it was full of nothing but biscuits. When 1 came home in the evening, she said..” G'*irge what is the meaning of all those biscuits that I savv in your trunktodaj?" 1 replied: “Well, we’re married now, so I may is well ’ell you tbe truth. When we were courting, whenever I told you a lie, which was sometimes necessary. 1 made a mental note of it. And when I went home 1 would throw a biscuit into my trunk. One biscuit per lie. If during the day or during the evening I told you half a dozen lies, 1 threw in a half a dozen biscuits. So these -biscuits simply represent the number of lies 1 have told you during our courtship " She said: “ Well my goodness! If 1 had only had your lorelh night and pul aside a little bit of cheese for every one that I told you. we should have had enough biscuits and chees - to last us for life.” —London Tit Bits. We all know that any tired muscle cun be restored by rest. Yoiir stomach isa muscle. Dyspepsia is its niaimei'of saying. "1 am tired. Give me rest.” To rest the stomach you must do its work outside of the body. This is the Shaker's method of curing indigestion, and its s-,i -cess is best,attested by the fact that these people are practically tree from wliat is without dmjbf the most prevalent of all diseases. The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains digested food which is promptly absorbed without taxing the tired digestive organs, but it is likewise an aid tb the digestion of otlier foods in tile stomach.
