THE TURN OF LIFE WOWS CRITICAL PERIOD Contemplated with Less Fear than of Old. ■ (srwisi to ova lact iiidiu ) There is no period in woman's earthly surer which she approaches with so ■uch anxiety as the “ change of life.” Yet during the past twenty years women hare learned niu>-h from a woman.

RECOROOF THE WEEK INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Gov. Mat thaws Haya H«- Will Not Call un Batra Hes»loii Mischievous Uoya Break Up a Clarksburg Prayer Meat* Ing Conn'® Etuployea Profit. No Batra Hcaaion for Indiana. The probability of uu extra eeMlon of the Legislature to settle the complications (trowing out of tbv recent dwleion of the Supreme Court on the apportionment act wan peremptorily settled by Gov. Matthews, who authorizes the statement that he will not call the General Assembly together, and that hi® resolve iu thia respect Is tiled. In doing so he expressed rhe opinion that the election of the next members of the legislature should be under the law of 1883. “I have decided that I will not call a special session," said Gov. Matthews the other night, "and this la a matter which I alone can decide. The question regarding the eligibility of the hold-ovsr Senators, however, is not within my province, and I give it only as a matter of opinion that their eligibility should not be questioned. I believe, also, that the next la-gtslature should Is- elected under the law of 1883. though 1 cannot say, of course, what may Im- done. In no event, however, will I cull a special ses •ion.” Hit Beacon Smith with a Wad. Sunday evening William Smith, deacon n the Methodist Church at Clarksburg, was praying during services, when Chas. Higgs threw a paper wad, striking him on the head. The deacon prayed that the person who threw the wad might die and go to his torment. He then arose and ordered the sexton to remove Higgs. The demand was not complied with and Smith went out of the church, causing a great disturbance and breaking up the meeting. Smith filed an affidavit against Higgs for assault and he was fined. Higgs filed an affidavit against Smith for disturbing a Uns-ling and he was fined also. Smith iu turn had Higgs tried on a similar charge, but the court ruled that he had already been punished. The young people are jubilant over the outcome and anvils are ired in the exuberance of their joy. Took No Chances. Additional particulars have come to light regarding the elopement to Jeffersonville of Harry Branch and Estella B. Hartwell. Branch is either owner or manager of a theatrical combination with headquarters at Chicago. His bride is a daughter of E. Butler Hartwell, a real estate dealer at Louisville. It is learned that after their marriage the couple returned to Louisville. The bride visited her home, where she managed by the aid of servants, to hare her trunk taken out and sent to the depot. They came to Jeffersonville, and after supper they boarded the first train for Chicago. Branch admitted that he was a widower with two children. Ilia bride is about 19 years old. Their acquaintance, it is said, was of only three weeks' duration. -refits Distributed Among Toilers. The thirteenth annual reception and anniversary given by C. G. Conn, of Elkhart, took place at the Bucklen Opera House Thursday evening. The sum of $9,392 was distributed among 147 employes as their share of profits which had accrued at the baud instrument factory during the last year. This makes nearly SIIO,OOO which has been divided among the employes daring the last five years. Mr. Conn was not present, being detained at Washington upon urgent business. The dividends were not so large this year as in former years, owing to the stringent money market. A fine musical program was ’•endcred before 1,200 people. All Over tbc State. George W. Houze's life was saved bj a Knights of Pythias watch charm Monday night. House was held up in a lonely spot near Muncie by a footpad and in the struggle that followed three shots were fired. One ball would have penetrated House's stomach, but it struck his watdh charm, glancing off. Ho finally secured the revolver and nearly beat the .ife out of his assailant with it. Between First and Second streets, in the north end of Decatur, runs a deep ravine. Along the banks of this, in a secluded spot, hidden by brush and trees, an entrance to a care has been found. It is a novelty and almost a wonder, since it was built by boys whose ages run from 12 to 10 years. In this cave were found sighteen small rifles, with several hundred rounds of cartridges, provisions, various kinds of tobacco and a large supply of cheap novels. As far as can be ascertained there are about twenty members of the gang, and they seem to be bound in secrecy to reveal nothing. No one knows what their object is or how they built tho cave. Some surmise that it is an old Indian cave. The discovery has occasioned much comment. The failure of ex-l’nited Slates Treasurer J. N. Huston came in tho nature of a surprise to citizens of Connersville. When the time for opening the Citizens' Bank arrived Wednesday the curtains were tightly drawn, and a notice was posted to the effect that owing to the severe illness of Mr. Huston, the proprietor, an assignment had been made in favor of the bona tide creditors, and that every dollar of the indebtedness would lie paid in full. The assignee, James M. Mclntosh, states that the indebtedness will amount to about $106,000, while the assets will reach more than $21X1.000. Mr. Huston’s health ims been failing for some time pant, and at this time his condition is quite critical. A reporter was met by Mrs. Huston, who refused to allow any one to see her husband. The ex-L'nited States Treasurer has been badly treated by politicians whore he had reason to expect favors. Mon than two years ago mortgages were recorded against Mr. Huston's property, aggregating ?2r>.(.XM», Those have never been satisfied, it is said he carries life iu surance to the amount of SIOO,OOO. 8. I’. Vanwinkle, a justice of the peace in Crown Point, was notified that be was probably one of four people who ore heirs to an estate in New York valued at $4,000 000. The estate, it is claimed, was first owned by Mr. Vanwinkle’s grandfather. who died about liOO. The family moved from the State and all became separated or died before they could be located The next generation shortly after the estate was settled was lost sight of leaving the estate without claimants for manv years. All this time attorneys have searched the country, and have finally found some of th* present generator

'SENATE AM) HOUSE. WORK OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. A Week'a Procredlniga in the Hull® of Cougreae—lmportant Mt aaurc® DiaciißHvd and Acted Upon Au Impartial l<e®nine of the Uuaineaa, The National Holona. Tho belaied House tariff bill emerged from tho Fiuaueo Committee in the Senate Tuesday, and It bud u free-silver substitute attached, by a majority report of one In committee. No definite action was taken. Minor business was transacted in the House, and the balance of the session was devoted to heated controversy over appropriations for private and sectarian charitable Institutions in the District of Columbia. The Senate spent Wednesday In fruitlean debate upon the tariff silver bill. In the House Delegate Catron i.N. M.) introduced a bill to prevent the pugilistic festival from taking place near El Paso, and tho measure was risalied through without division. The bill makes prize fighting a miadenieiuior, punishable by imprisonment for not les® than one year. Mr. Catron asked for unanimous consent for consideration, but Mr. Knox (Itep., Mass.) objected and tin- bill was referred, but subsequently was taken up and passed. The measure also prohibits bull tights. The House also began its debate on the Senate free-coinage bond bill. The Catron anti-prixe fight bill passed the Senate Thursday. The law becomes ( executive from the moment it is signed by the President, and all (H-rsons must I at their peril take eognizam e of its enactment. The Senate free-coinage subi stitute for the House bond bill was de-l-ntcd five hours in tho House in the afternoon and for three hours at the night session. Nevertheless the pressure from i members for time to present their, views I is so great that it seems possible now j that the debate may continue indefinitely. The House Friday was in an uproar most of the time because of a tilt between Talbert of South Carolina and Barrett of Massachusetts, over the former's defense of secession. A resolution of censure failed of adoption, 200 to 71. The bond bill debate consumed the evening session. The Senate chose Mr. Frye president pro tom. and passed a bill opening the forest reservations of Colorado for the location of mining claims. A resolution offered by j Mr. Stewart was agreed to calling on the ■ Secretary of the Treasury for information I as to the estimated increase in revenue if I the pending tariff bill becomes a law, and I what the duty on wool per pound would ■ lie under the law based on the present | market price of wool. The resolution con- ' templating a reform in handling appropriation bills by distributing them among the several committees was referred, for report next December. Senate adjourned intil Monday. . The House debate Saturday upon the Senate’s free coinage substitute for the bond bill was very spirited. Mr. Towne, a Minnesota Ili-publican. claimed the attention of the House and galleries for over an hour with an eloquent effort on behalf of free coinage. Mr. Hall, a Democrat from Missouri, on the other hand, announced his conversion to "sound money” in a rather sensational speech, in which he charged that eight Senators who voted for free coinage, according to “credible information,” hud privately said that they believed free coinage would bring upon this country national and individual bankruptcy and ruin. He charged them with trying to "feather their nests at home” and declared that the greatest sin of the present age was the cowardice of statesmen. He also declared that a high officer of the administration had said that the silver agitation had already cost the Government s2ti2,o(X>,<JUo in bond issues, and in the course of the next twelve months the bond issues would increase to $1,000,090,<*». Mr. Hall voted for free coinage in the last Congress. The National Game, Bird and Fish Protective Association has prepared a bill, which will soon be introduced in both houses of Congress. Exetqit to appoint definite time for the hearing of several important matters, the Senate did nothing Monday except wrangle over resolutions and amendments concerning the Monroe doctrine. The House continued debate of the bond bill. LAND DEFENSES MOST NEEDED. Admiral Walker Give® Ilia Views to the House Committee. Admiral Walker appeared before the Committee on Coast Defenses in \\ ashington and made an exhaustive statement on the subject of coast defenses from a naval point of view. The admiral stated that while of course he advocates the construction of a thoroughly effective naval force be fully recognizes the absolute necessity of land defenses. He considers one form of defense to be the complement of the other and both as necessary as cavalry and artillery are to an army. He deems the land defenses to be a necessity as a means of protection to the country by leaving the navy free to operate outside, ami affording safe places of refuge in ease of the naval forces being overmatched by a superior licet of an enemy, also to afford the means of repairing damages, and obtaining supplies and coal under the shelter and protection of the forts. He stated that without the land defenses our dockyards could be destroyed and our ships pursued into port and annihilated by a superior fleet. He also advocates the building of battleships rather than harbor defense vessels as being better adapted for general purposes of attack and defense. RATES FOR SLEEPING CARS. Question Up Again Before a Sub-Com-mittee of the House. The question of taking steps toward re ducing the rates charged by sleeping and palace car companies was thrashed oveg by a sub-committee of the national House Committee on Commerce. A bill introduced by Mr. Corliss of Michigan was, before the committee, but after a long de-, bate it was decided to strike out all after the first section of the bill and report that section to the full committee for consideration. The first section proposes to extend the interstate commerce law so as to include sleeping or palace cars operated by common carriers engaged in interstata co tn tn e rce. A large number of insurance men, rep resenting the Western Underwriters' Union, the jurisdiction of which extends west, of Pennsylvania to the Rocky Mountains, met at Buffalo. One of the objects of the meeting is to try to reduce tho excessive commissions naid to agents.

ir. <■ .1 Because ho had palpitation of th» heart, Mr. A. J. Allen determined to quit smoking. He thought the tobacco habit was the cause of hia trouble, but when he ceased smoking the pulsations of the heart were more violent than ever. Mr. Allen is a registered chemist of Lynn, Mass., and at second thought he concluded that, if tobacco wasn't the cause, It must be acute dyspepsia. His knowledge of chemistry, naturally prompted him to take Ripans Tabules, well knowing their efficacy in disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. Quick' relief followed, and now there Is no more distress in the region of his heart. But the remarkable partof Mr. Alien’s experience follows: lie decided to forego smoking anyhow, and discovered that Rlpanp Tabules not only satisfied the longing for tobacco, wh|eh all smokers are familiar with, but at first he actually looked forward with pleasure to the three periods each day when he took the Tabules, Mr. Allen no longer smokes, and has no desire to, nor does be take the Tabules. He Is a well man. and doos not need medicine of auy kind. Mr. Allen believes Rlpaus Tabules will prove a powerful aid to any man who desires to abandon the tobacco habit Rlpani Tabuifw an* sold by <lrngglß»N. nr t»y mall It ttw* Brica (80 (vntß a boi • !• **nt v» The Hipaiw < hew* cal Company.
