NO CAUSE FOR ALARM PRESIDENT MAY SEND A MONETARY MESSAGE TO CONGRESS. John Russell Yoang l aki h < tiarge of th;* Congressional Library—Senator Tiiuraton’s Anti-Tiast Bill—Rockhill to be i Minister toGrei ce—lndiana Postmasters, i Washington, July 2.—The Bannock Indian trouble in Idaho appears to have been greatly ex: ggcrated by the settlers. I Dispatches received indicate that the I number of Indians off the reservation is I 1 much less than was stated; that there I was little basis for general alarm, and the object of the Indians who did leave j ( the reservation was solely to secure a food luxury in the fci'A>. of camass root, a blue flowered bulb whose sweet taste ;is much coveted by the Indians. Lieu- . tenant Irwin, the agent at the Fort Hall ( I reservation, wires that the situation was I i not as serious as reported. Agent Harper of the Umatilla reserva- | I tion, whose Indian charges were said to : . have joined the Fort Hall Indians, teleI graphs that his Indians are all at home I and are preparing to celebrate the Fourth I of July. MONET A ICY COM MI SSION. President Strongly Inclined to Send a Message to Congress Next Week. Washington, July 3. —The question whether the president will send a special message to congress recommending the creation of a currency commission will be definitely decided next week. The president is strongly inclined at this*time to send a special currency message to congress, regarding himself as in a considerable measure pledged to this course. In fact it was semi-offidaily announced at the white house late yesterday that such a message would bo | sent to congress mext week, but some of the president’s most influential advisers : on financial questions are opposed to a ! i message as impolitic at this time owing ( , to hostility to a commission on the part I of congress and the final determination, | I as stated, will not be reached until Mr. : ■ I McKinley’s return from Canton. — TOURISTS’ CLOTHING. : I What They Bring Into the Country i ■ Amounts to #4,000,000 Yearly. . i Washington, July- 6.—The treasury I I department officials have been making an investigation during the past week to ( ascertain the value of the goods brought | ( into this country annually from Europe I I by American tourists, which are classi- I . i fled by them under the heading of wear- i i ing apparel, and upon which no duty is ( ( paid. From the facts collected Assistant ! ;' Secretary Howell estimates that the i ■ ( clothes purchased by Americans abroad I : every year and brought back to the ( ( United States free of duty will aggre-1 I gate in value $4,000,000. Secretary How- | | ell is ’strongly in favor of the house pro- - ‘ ( vision m the tariff bill to tax all cloth1 ing brought from abroad in excess of ! . SIOO. NEW LIBRARIAN. • ' l John Russell Young Takes Charge of the Congressional Library. ■ Washington, July 5. —Mr. John Rus- : sell Young, the new librarian, filed his I ( bond, received his commission, and took j ( office on Saturday. In conversation i ' i with a reporter Mr. Young said that he ( j accepted the office in the hope of mak- ( . I ing the library the greatest in the | , J world. The government had built a ; I palace, the finest library building in ex- I 1 I istence, and the American people could | ' easily make it the first of all national j r I libraries. Mr. Spoffard, who Mr. Young- , succeeds, will be retained. i | Indiana Postmasters. 1 Washington, July 3. —Indiana postj masters were appointed yesterday as ’ ' follows: Bentonville, Ella Knapp; j Stanley, M. E. Greer; Waveland, F. W. i 1 j Kritz. The president has sent to the senate the following nominations:- Andrew A. Laird, Frankfort; Lucullus G. 1 Knight, Montpelier. Washington, July s.—lndiana postmasters have been appointed, as follows: Mauckport, D. C. Gwartney; Westfield, Charles Smith. H. L. Kramer was ap- ’ ( pointed postmaster at Indiana Mineral j Springs on July 1 by reason of the rele--1 ( gation of the office to the fourthclass on I that date. I Thurston Introduces an Anti-Trust Bill. ( Washington, July 3. —Senator Thursj ton yesl erday introduced as a bill the ( ; ( provision prepared as an amendment to i the tariff bill by the judiciary committee jto prohibit trusts. It was expected that I it would be introduced as an amend- ( ment to the tariff bill,' but the finance , committee suggested the inadvisability of saddling the trust question upon the ( tariff, saying it would be preferable to I have tne two questions treated independently of each other. Rockhill to Be Minister to Greece. Washington, July 2. —It is understood that the president has selected W. W. Rockhill, late assistant secretary of state, for the post of United States minister to Greece. Mr. Rockhill’s appointment will not be a party one in any sense, but will be based entirely upon his experience as a diplomat and his excellent work while in the department of state. He entered the diplomatic service as far back as 1884. Public Debt Statement. Washington, July 2.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business June 30, the debt, less cash in 1 he treasury, amounted to $986,656,086, a decrease for the month of $10,027,966, which is accounted for by a corresponding increase in the amount of cash on hand. The dept independent of the cash was reduced $4,152. 1 Paying the Sugar Bounty. W ashington, July 2. —The treasury ; 1 department has issued 493 warrants representing $1,085,155 in payment of the i bounty on sugar produced in the United |; States during the year 1894. for which . appropriation was made during the present session of congress.

There Was No Dang'er. In the Brazilian hotels m p n are employed to do the chamber work, and they are prone to rush into the bedrooms of the guests when occasion requires without knocking. A prim little Yankee “sehoolmarm’’ visiting Rio de Janeiro was much annoyed at this custom and, after mildly protesting several times without effect, she said severely to the boy who did the work in her room: “Juau, be good enough to und rstaud that I will not allow you to open the door of my room without knocking. If you do it again, I shall certainly report you at the office. Why, 1 might be dressing. ” “Nodangerof that, senora,'” responded Juau in his best English. “Before X come iu 1 always look me through the keyhole.”—Argonaut. A Declaration of Love. “I love you!” exclaimed the count, and a look of deep affection welled up in his aristocratic face. “I love you,” be repeated. They were alone in the elegantly appointed drawing room of Boodlegreat, Sr. “I love you,” he protested for the third time, and, taking up Boodlegreat’s checkbook, which had been left on the table, the count warmly pressed it to his breast. —Pittsburg Chronicle. Uncle Allen’s Objection. “I liked the music at church this morning very well for the most part,” said Uncle Allen Sparks, in speaking of it afterward, “but it seemed to me the bass singers in the choir marred the effect of one selection when they sang it in this style, ‘Let all the nations know, to earth’s remotest bow-wow-wownd. ’ ” —Chicago Tribune.

IS IT OF INTEREST? We noticed in last Friday’s issue of the daily paper published bv our contemporary, that Dr. J. B Caseheer of Indianapolis, visited Decatur representing the Fort Wayne branch of the Banning Institute of Willonghbly, Ohio, and that they have made a great record during the past year in the cure of Spinal Disease am! Paralysis—curing several cases that were regarded as incurable, both by the profession and laity, as well as the cuung of a great number of Hernias — RUPTURES. We too. have met the doctor and as he is highly endorsed by some of our leading citizens Abo have been personally acquainted with him and know his record as a physician and surgeon, we invite him to a further expression of his object in visiting Decatur. He says as it has been decided to make the Fort Wayne branch a permanent institute and it is proper that the people of Decatur and vicinity should know of its mission, its work, its successes and its tailures. For tl is purpose they have sent Dr. Casebeer as one of their associate physicians to this place to not only explain to physicians and patients who may be interested enough in bis work co call on him; but if any one wishes to be cured to put their theories to a practical test in the cure ot such cases, that all may have an object lesson on the merits or demerits of their wonderful discoveries and in ventions. . He speaks of Dr. Banning, their medical director, as a physician of unusual abiflty, learning success in all cases of

PARALYSIS, 1 Spinal Diseases and Rupture, and is regarded by physicians as well as the people (except some who may feel jealous) as beinj; remarkably successful in bis proper diagnosis and successful treatment of these terible diseases. The doctor invites the worst cases to I come and test the vaiue of their remei dies and if curable will accept your I ease and if not curable will tell you so. If you are skeptical you are invited when at Wayne to talk with the people there and especially with their patients and call at the institute and see for yourself what they are doing, or if yon will not visit there soon, if vou will call on the doctor at the Burt House be will give you the names of patients cured that vou may write to them aud learn of their experience. Dr Caseheer will again visit Decatur on Tuesday, July 13th and invites all who feel an active interest in being cured to meet him on that date. De lays are dangerous, tbeiefore come at unce. He especially invites those women who have been suffering in silence from any form of Hernia or ' from those female troubles which are (still worse on account of Visceral weight pressing upon those tender Pelvic Organs causing Displacements, Flexims. Inflation of Ovaries, Bladder, &c., &c. Children who suffer from any form of SPINAL DISEASE or weakness should come and be cured before they get bad aud to avoid going through life handicapped by those weaknesses and deformities that are sure to result from neglect- while tbey are young. Even those who are older and are the subjects of Spinal Curva Hire or other defromities, can often be greatly benefitted If not entirely corrected. Older people are also invited to come and be relieved of the distress and se- I cure the comforts their age deserves so I that you can say my last days are my ■ best.
