A8 promised, we caught oa the Ay a few moments with the Hon. George W. Cromer, and >n those f aW moments be told us that he tion for congress in the eighth district. That he was a candidate of his p*rty as a free and American citizen who believed in the equality of man. One who believed and practiced the political teach ings of party men, whom everyone, regardless of party lines, were glad to revere. That the rules adopted by the district organization -were not only unfair, but they reeked with political corruption, and that A} felt confident the leaders of his pirty and the state committee would not only not indorse them, but would rebuke th«m in terms befitting this day of political decency. says that contrary to the Jour nal announcement,he is a candidate for congress; a full fledged, aspiring candidate, and that on the third day of Aprd, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred six, ho expjets the honor of another nomination as the candidate of his pirty. After hearing the above spoken in clear and precise English, we conclude that Congressman Cromer is still in the ring. To improve the English course as taught in the high schools of Indiana at this time by more unity among the instructors, is the primary purpose of a movement started at Andersen by M. E. Haggerty, o' the local high s h >ol; E. O. Holland, of the department of edu cation Indiana university; O. B. Sperlin of Shelbyville; Kemper C. McComb of Manual Training high school and Charles S. Toomas of Shcrtndge nign school I dianupjlis, and Miss Christania Thompson, of Frankfort. At a conference Saturday aternoon last, they organized the Central English Round Tabla Others will bo promoted throughout the st te. and the originator of the movement think they will soon have practically all the English instructors of Indiana interested in the work of revising the English Course for improving the method. used in teaching. Professor Hol land of the Cerftral Round Table, 1 will arrange for another meeting of English teachers soon and an effort will be made to get the suggestions of recommendations included in a report that will be submitted to the State Teacher’s association. Proeesor Haggerty, who conceived the plan for getting the English instructors together, submitted a report at the Saturday meeting of high school courses in several states. He attracted considerable attention recently by an argument when several students in writing used slang phrases and undertook to justify them by asserting they appeared in 1 >oil newspapers and were in common use.— 31 off son Banner.

A marriage license has been issued to Elizabeth Buuek and Christian Nahrwald, the latter of Jefferson township. Eggs have not reached such a low mark in February for several years. Dealers say that the unusually open winter has caused this condition and the year is an exception, but the range was up ward. In February. last year, eggs were quoted at 28 to 32 cents —twice the price they are now bringing Taey were soaroa at that. When egg storing time came around last April eggs were low, and many speculators thought they saw a chance to make money in eggs. Thousand-* of dollars worth of eggs were bought at from 14 cents to 18 cents a dozen and have kept the shippers supplied with fresh eggs practially ail winter. The stored eggs as a result have not been in demand. It has, in fact, been difficult to find a market for them and it is estimated that fully $20,000 has been lost, this season, by speculators in eggs. Monroe, Indiana. — Washington’s birthday was observed by the Adams county oranch of the N. R. L. C. A., by a social meeting which was held at this place. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a. m. by M. J. Butler president cf the association. Prayer was offered by the Rev. J A. Sprague pastor cf the Monroe M. E. church. Mr. J. H. B.atty of Blue Creek township was the first on the program and spike at some length of the benefits the farmers derived from the rural free delivery system and the kind feeling of the patrons for the “boys in the wagons," The Hon George VV. Cromer followed with a glowing tribute to the man in whose honor this day is held sacred by the American people. Cromer’s address teemed with patri Aism from begin ning to end. and was heartily re ceived by his hearers. Rev. J. A. Sprague spoke on “The Educational and Religions Advantages to be derived from Rural Free Delivery, and in bis usual genial way per ‘rayed the advantages the rural idhabitants had ovei the forefathers. He spoke of the small remuneration the carriers were receiving for their service and hoped to soon see the time when they would receive better pay. Rev. Sprague is a staunch friend of the boys and his father is a rural free delivery car rier, being one of the first in the state. Mr. Jopes of Blue Creek township, told the boys how he showed his appreciation of their faithful service by leaving gifts in his mail box for the carrier, and the boys will all try and have their route changed to go by his home. Asa whole this was one of the best social meetings the association has ever enjoyed and was attended by almost twenty carriers and many of their friends.

A FAMOUS SOCIETYWliert* London'* Famous I’reach era and Teachers Gathered. The closing decades of the last con tur.v comprehended the palmy period of a distinguished little society in London which might have been described as a club for the teachers and preachers of their age, secular or religious. Such indeed was the Metaphysical society. Its organizing spirit had perhaps been James Knowles. If Its most famous member were found in W E. Gladstone Its leading spirits, who took the most active part in its discussions, were Cardinal Manning and Richard Holl Hutton, the editor of the Spectator. James Martineau. Matthew Arnold and William George Ward, the erewhiie mathematical tutor of Baliol, as well as the poet Browning, may sometimes hat e been of the company, but the chief figures were those already mentioned. La his earlier days Hutton, like so many reflective men o/ nis day, was the disciple of I". D. Maurice. Then among his associates were J. M. Lua low and Thomas Hughes, the author of “Tom Brown’s School Days.” After ward It. H. Hutton’s mental master would have been recognized bv him st> bis brother member of the Metapbvs leal society. James Martineau. The great incidents in its proceedings at this time were the high s; /'dilative arguments wherein different sides were taken bv teachers of their generation so mutually opposed and so individually distinguished as Manning and Marti n.eau, upon very rare occasions, it may oe, by Gladstone, Browning and, 1 rather think, once or twice by Tenny son himself. The extraordinary magnetism exercised by Martineau over hit personal following was perceptible in his manner with casual acquaintances. As such, it was realized very many years ago by the present writer when, as an exceedingly young man fresh from college, he was concerned in preparing some examination questions, in t.liich his venerable seniors, Mauries t.mj Martineau, with one of two more, were to have a voice.—T. 11.

"Ob, I shouldn't mind her,” sai l the other woman easily. "If you warn revenge just look at her with one o' those short waisted, pudgy daughters on either side at the assembly and uni a man on the horizon.” “M-m!” said the aggrieved one “Yes, she does look funny; but, my dear, did you realize you said 'on either side’ instead of ‘on each side: Os course if they were on either side they'd—well, they couldn't be, you scI knew you wouldn't mind having me speak of it. for I've noticed you in I t that little error occasionally, ami ?.» so easy to form a habit." Shocked the Quren. The queen of Denmark once paid a visit to the Dam-li colony of Iceland where the good old bishop exerted him seif to the utmost to shew her everything that was worth seeing. Tht queen paid many comidimen’s to h r host, ■ nd having learned 'hat he was a family man graciously inquired ho-v many children he had. It happens tiist tJ»e Danish word for "children’’ Is al most identical in sound with the Icelandic word for "sheep,” so that the worthy bishop, whose knowledge of Danish was not so complete as 11 might have been, understood her mm esty to ask how many sheep he owned and promptly answered: “Two hundred.” “Two hundred children!” cried the queen, astounded. “How cr-.n you pos sibly maintain such a number?” “Easily enough, please your majesty,” replied the prelate, with a cheerful smile. "In the summer I turn them out upon the bills to grass, and when winter comes I kill and eat them!” oust an r.ipi-riment. "If I were to ask yon to marry me what would you say?” “Why, Mr. Brownby,” she faltered, "really this is so sudden." •T thought so.” Jm answered. “That's about what they al! say. Much obliged.” And then he said it was time for bit” to go For the Rainy Day. “This awful extravagance of yourz must stop. You've saved absolutely nothing for a rainy day." "■Oh. yes. I have, dear. I’ve saved a sorely blue rainy day skirt."

THE ISLE OF WIGHT. IT GLEAMS LIKE A DIAMOND ON THE BREAST OF THE SEA. Tbe Bt'itiiti's of Cowos, the Fashionable ing Ever Gets Dirty—What One Ma. See on the Historic Island. The Isle of Wight is shaped like a diamond, and like a diamond it gleams and flashes on the breast of the sea Like a diamcmj, too, it is the luxury ci the rich. As your steamer approaches the road stead of Cowi-s j >u might well suppost the little town to be a fashionable liam let far inland on the bank of a river The esplanade looks as near to tin water as a towuatb, and the greet woods that rise behind the whin bouses are as thickly bunched and as brightly verdant as the unsalted tieet of Pangbourne. The coarse beamed dark sailed smack of the sea fisbenua? Is a rare sight on those social waters Everywhere you behold among hover big gulls ai d rocking buoys the craft of pleasure and the shipping of d<* light. White yachts, with sails a» whltd as summer clouds, ride their with the grace of swans, and whit* 6 ream yachts, with brasswork flash Ing blindly in he sun. rest royally a’ anchor off that little shore. Nothing ever gets dirty at Cowes The tamarisk wl.nh lifts its line feat! ers above r ails at the sea's edge is a* clean as the sails of the yachts. Th< roads of red gravei make neither muc aor dust and 41e a; smoothly as gar den paths. The Virginia creepers which swarm up the pillars of whithouses, ov<-; “read the tiers of ba conies and aln .- t cover the dark re; tiles of the rods, are every whit a green and eve ,-y tittle as radiant or the shaven law: s beside the esplanade Flowers there- are at every point o view—red get .."minis. golden cal*"*o'ar »s, blue lobe’:. crimson hysso,., chad dar pinks, rases of every hue and fern' of every so: n- trowing in neat flowe: bods, lifting tr.Jr bright colors above garden walls and swaying gently ir baskets hung irc-.m balcony and siil. The windows of the shops are as polished as a lady’s mirror and shim ! n the sun. P rosperity waits behind those counters of plenty and puts itself completely and genially at the com tnand of the wealthy. The butcher ans the greengrocer announce to the pass erby that French and German are spoken in their establishments. The yacht of the most necessitous million aire can obtain in those narrow, clean streets all that s desires. Royal war rants, as big almost as the shops them selves, gleam over shop fronts, and ar tistic signboards obtrude from tb< smart little doorways. The shine o. the sweet windows is a magic induce ’neat to buy. On the esplanade, where is a tai white flagstaff at every few paces, and waiting at the little granite stairs washed by green waters, yov meet n< burly and rough clad fish ;* nen, but only the white capped, blue jerseyed hands from the crews of yachts In the roadstead. Fresh faced, well groomed girls walk there with indulgent papas and jolly schoolboys in flannels, carrj Ing paper bags of green gooseberries and red cherries, stroll down to thdingey at the stairs, munching as the; go. There is no haste and no exertio: at Cowes. At half past 12 on a loveli morning I heard in my hotel tiie voice of the manageress giving an order t< one of the maids. "Her ladyship says." she cried, "that she must half a hip bath in her room immediately, or else she won’t be down for luncheon.” Foolish aud lazy little ladyship tv lie abed on such a good morning in sc fair a place as this diamond cf tl’.f sea! For it is not only the esplanade, the bright shops end the pleasure of s saunter to Egypt point which are within the rea-.h of the visitor tn Cowes. The whole Wight is within a drive of tie Medina. You must go tc Newport, and, paying the tax which was demanded of me, not requested, for entering the church, you may set the myely memorial which Queen Vie totfa set there to the poor little Frin cess Elizabeth, who died of a 'broket Heart, beside an open Bible for love oi Charles I. You may also go to Carlsbrooke and enter the splendid erst It where that poor little princess died snd where her unhappy father was Imprisoned. You may see the donkej Jacob summoned by a word from grassnibbling under fig trees to enter the big wheel of the well and draw up nine gallons of water from the invisible spring at which those royal prisonen* quenched their thirst. But you, if wise, will quench your thirst with tea under the spreading trees of the Eight Bells pleasure gardens in the village below listening there to the comments of en chusiastic Americans and watching the elderly gentlemen playing bowls on a smooth lawn, as King Charles played that ancient game in the castls an the hill.—London Mail.

is Disease a crh

Hot so very long ago. a popular mi.gazlne published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal. Certain it, is, that much of the sickness and suffering of I mankind is due to the violation of certain of Nature’s laws, which. understood and implicitly followed, would i result in the prevention of much of the j sickness and suffering of humanity. I But to say that ail sick.no-■ should be regarded as criminal, must, on a little j sober reflection, appeal to every rea- . sonable and intelligent individual as radically wrong. Thousands suffer from cons-, rio-s; -mt infectious diseases most innoe ntly ani unconsciously contracted. Other thousands suffer and die of cancerous ; -- tions, the catise of which no medical man has yet been wise enough to for- 1 ret cut and determine, and which can not. therefore, tie avoided. Then too, many times stress of circumstances compel people to expose themsdvi-.-- to I various disease-producing agencies, stiffi as malaria, bad air in overheated factories, coal mines, and many other situations, i and surely those who suffer therefrom should not be branded as criminals. In-so-far as disease is contracted or brought on one’s self from harmful excesses. over-eating, intemperance and other like Indulgencies and debauchery, we think, with our editor friend, that 'it should be regarded as little less than criminal. On the other hand, we think it would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, J over-worked housewife who sinks under i the heavy load of household cares and | burdens which she is obliged to >truggle ; along under until she succumbs to the | strain and over-exertion, and suffers from : weaknesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangements i peculiar to her sex. The too frequent bearing of children, ■ with its exacting demands upon the sys- ■ tern, coupled with the care, worry and . labor of rearing a large family, is often the cause of weakness, derangements s and debility which the mother has to bear ! and which are aggravated by the many i household cares, and the hard, and never- I ending work which she is called upon to j perform. Dr. Pierce, the maker of that ' world-famed remedy for women’s peculiar \ ills-—Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription— 1 says that one ->f the greatest obstacles to . the cure of this class of mah'di; s is the fact that the poor, overworked housewife . can not get the needed rest from her ; many household cares and labor to enable ; her to secure from the use of his "Prescription ” its full brnetits. It is a matter of frequent experience, lie. says, in his extensive practice in these . :u -t with those in which his J-;::iwnt fails by reason of the patient's inability t > abstain from hard work long enough to he cured. With those suffering from prolapsus, ante-version and retro-version of the uterus or other displacement ■ of the womanly organs, it is very neees-' sary that, in addition to taking his "Fa- I vorite Prescription” they abstain from I being very much, or for Ion" period---. >n ; their feet. All heavy lifting or straining j of any kind should also be avoided. As i much out-door air as possibl;. with moderate. light exercise is also very import- I ant. It is Dr. Pierce’s observation that many I housewives suffer much in a weakened j condition of their system from too close | confinement in-doors. Often the kitchen. ! where they spend most of their time, is illy ventilated and the bad air and overheating therextf act most unfavorably upon the woman's strength, until she finds hers“lf suffering from various weak-. nesses attended by backache, bearingdown pains, ordragging-down sensations that are extremely hard to bear. A ca- ’ tarrhal, pelvic drain, of most debilitating and disagreeable nature, is a common symptom of the congested or inflamed I
