An eighty-two degree thermometer isn’t a very nice thing to have around in March, hut we have it.

Foreign complications and war spor»o are appearing at several points, and there is general uneasine a s over the fact that there is such a weak-kneed excuse in the secretary ol state's ofiice.

The Napoleon and Lincoln articles in the Banner Times are attracting wide attention. Get the entire series for the small sum of ten cents per week. See what the Greencastle authors have to say about these two great characters in history. The ma\’or of Columbus has had the ministers of that city summoned before the grand jury to tell what they know about gambling and lawlessness. The ministers denounced the mayor from their pulpits last Sunday charging that the ma^or was in collusion with law breakers. The mayor has done right If the ministers know of uch tilings it is their duty like other men to inform a grand jury. Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, has many imitators but few of them as a rule go into an investigation with the success he lias achieved, fur it

requires a nerve not possessed by the average man, minister or layman.

In a card in a per a Mr. Sam

Bloomington naJones says “Our court house is worth four of that at Greencastle.” From the above sentence one would judge that the Bloomington court house wasn’t a very good article. A town or a man that boasts of a court house that is nothing more than four times as good as Greencastle’s hasn’t much to brag of.

When the frost is on the counters. and the cobwebs on the shelf, and there’s seldom anybody in the store beside yourself, and your stock is getting shelf worn, and the groceries are stale, and bills enough are coming due to make a banker pale; oh, then’s the time a feller’s kind o’ blue, and is puzzled with the proper thing to do. But in such a situation one sure remedy applies, if you want to get the customers you’ve got to advertise.

The reduction in the tariff on carpets under the Gorman law resulted in imports at New \ r ork of 200,002 square yards during the five months ending January 31, 1895, as compared with imports of only 81,338 yards during the corresponding five months a year earlier. This was an increase of nearly 150 per cent, in the quantity of foreign carpets imported. The government went right ahead losing money, however, as the receipts did not equal the expenditures. The difference between 81,000 and and 200,000 yards is thus all at the expense of the American carpet weavers.

The Democrat under the caption “Republican Hypocrisy” prints an article which appeared in the Banner Times of March 20, and was reproduced in the Indianapolis Journal of the 21st. After a lapse of ten days the Democrat caught the spirit of progress and printed the article in what it terms a paper of wide circulation. It adds that comment would spoil it. We believe tiie esteemed Democrat has done well >n reproducing the article, as it shows in taking it up after it has been all over the state that the Democrat is simply getting in the Banner Times procession. The comment feature is not surprising, for there are a whole lot of things that appear in the Saturday papers taken from the Banner Times colutnnsi that are reproduced without an}' sign of “comment.” I n Make I’ure Itloud There is no medicine before t’.ie people equal to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It is t'.e standard spring medicine and blood purifier and it possesses peculiar merit which others try in vain to reach. It really makes the weak strong. Do not neglect to purify your blood ibis spring. Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla now. Hood’s Pills become the favorite cathartic with every one who tries thcin.

How We Are to Fare in the Month of SuiiMlune and Sliowem. April promises to open caol and fair generally. About the 2d and 3d will turn very warm and numerous storms will develop, after which a dasli of cool polar air will be felt. Unless the moon’s peri gree on the 6th is a more potent ! stor i breeder than full moon, the greatest disturbance during the period, 7th to 11th, will center on and next to the 9th. Heavy April showers and storms will lie natural at this time. A cool wave with frost in northerly directions need not surprise in the rear of the storms. For three or tour days I cool weather and high barometer j will prevail. About the 15th and 16th reactionary changes will take place.! and the Mercury equinox, central | on the 20th, will help to usher in | a period of cloudiness, storm and i rain that will likely continue with little abatement until after the new moon on the 2fth. The opposition of Saturn on the 23d will disturb many days. The heaviest storms are apt to occur from the 22d to 24th. If it is quite warm, with south winds and low barometer— which facts are most likely—dangerous storms are probable. Y'our barometer and a close watch on the clouds will give ample warning of all approaching danger. The question is—have you made preparations to escape danger, should it come! Can you think of any sure place of refuge for yourself and family in case of the approach of a tornado? Would you not feel more at ease to know that such a refuge was within easy reach of your loved ones who look to you for pro tection? Why not turn to the task and construct such a refuge without further delay? A sharp change to cooler will result about the 24th or 25th, and there will be danger of frost for two or three nights following. The 27th and 28th will bring a change to warmer, with much tentency to storminess and general showers. April promises to end fair and cool. Easter Sunday is on the 14th, throwing it quite late in the year—which fact, according to tradition and the belief of many intelligent people, indicates that much cold and unseasonable weather will be the order up to the middle of April. There is no doubt but a very cool, and often cold spell, occurs about Easter Sunday. The fact is easy accounted for: There is generally a change to cooler after the full moon—especially a full moon near the equinox of the earth. As a rule, Easter falls near the full moon in March, and hence the weather is unsettled up to the equinox, and is sure to be quite cold about that time. We do not see that a late Easter need necessarily bring a late season. Plow and plant as early this year as the soil will permit, especially in all the southern parts of the country. Saturn’s opposition will cause heavy storms, but not cold neces-

sarily.

r | Spring

Cleaning

Is such a trial that men say “ Let the house take care j dangerous if allowed to continue. What even’ man of itself.” But the conscientious ivife feels bound to and woman needs in the Spring is Hoods Sarsaparisk health and strength in this annual struggle withjrUla. It keeps the blood vitalized and enriched, and dust and dirt. She is altogether too liable thus sustains the nerves and holds all the however, to let her bodily house, most im- T bodily functions in strength and regular ^ portant of all, “ take care of itself.” The action. With its help you will not feel consequence of her feverish anxiety over that intense exhaustion, and your natural Jv extra work is depletion of the blood, the sourej of all I fatigue at the close of the day will give way to fresh aclife and strength, manifested in that weak, tired, ner- tivity in the morning. Therefore we say, besides cleanvous condition too prevalent at tins season and very | iug your house, be sure to take Hood's Sarsaparilla to Cleanse Your Blood 1

With Hood’s We’ll Conquer “Now that house cleaning Is upon us, I know that with Hood’s Sarsaparilla to help, we’U pasa through that trial all right.” Mrs. Helen Hiscbrd, Tully, New York. “I take Hood’s Sarsaparilla every spring, and It la the only medicine I use through the year. It enables me to do my house cleaning and farm work ell through the summer. It helped me very much for palpitation of the heart. I think Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the medicine for everyone, and all who take It will never be without it. hav< also used Hood’s Pills and they are the best I over tried.” Mrs. F. H. Andrews, South Woodstosk, Conn.

Makes the Weak Strong

“ Last spring I had to give up work, being unable to walk to my place of employment, a distance of only half a mile. I suffered almost incessantly from sick headache. I had racking pains all over my body. The least exertion would tire me out. Going up one fi'.,'ht of stairs would make my heart beat at a terrible rate. I was induced to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and now, after taking less than two bottles, the pains and aches have all left me. I have only had a slight headache once since. Hood’s Sarsaparilla gave me a good appetite, and I can now do a hard day’s work.” Miss Elsie Jenkins, Queensbury, New York.

Mr?;. CurtiHFt* Funeral. Columbus Republican. March 29. A large concourse of friends attended the funeral of Mrs. Mary Gurtiss at the M. E. church this afternoon. Rev.

“ My nerves were In such a condition the closing ot a door was sufficient to throw me into a spell of trembling which would last for hours. This was after a severe attack of the grip, which shattered my health. I could not sleep, my food distressed me, and I had darting pains through my shoulders and back. At the suggestion ot a friend I tried Hood’s Sarsaparilla. After taking one bottle, my food no longer distressed me, and my nerves were quieted. Have taken three bottles and I am cured. The asthma trouble, from which I have not been free for years, has entirely disappeared. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done wonders for me, and I am glad to recommed It highly." Mrs. Lucinda Kustkll, North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.

“My health has been poor for a good many yeara before I began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Finally I decided to take Hood’s and can houtstly say that It has done me more good than any and all other treatments. I waa troubled with dyspepsia, food distressed me, and I had but little appetite, was weak and nervoua. In fact my trouble bordered on nervous prostration, from which I had previously suffered. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla last summer and it did me ever so much good. It does not seem as though I am the same person. My appetite is greatly improved, I am less nervous, have more strength and a can eat heartily without distress. Such a condition was unknown to me before taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” Mrs. Q. C. Clat, Barre, Vt. Get Hood’s

‘‘The Train WreckerH.’* Chicago Times. A large audience witnessed the production of “The Train Wreckers” last night at the Windsor theatre. The play seems built for the purpose of allowing each individual member ol the company to display their special abilities to the best advantage, and as a result the stronger portions of the entertainment were received with an applause that was at times at the highest pitch of enthusiasm. The play was staged > with close attention to detail, showing more magnificent scenery and mechanical effects. One of the most perfect pieces of character acting seen at this theatre was that of the tramp, “Baldy Trask.” as portrayed by Lawrence Holmes. In make-up, costume, walk and swagger Baldy was the personification of the worthless, swaggering knight of the road so familiar to the average housekeeper; and Mr. Holmes is to be congratulated upon his careful research and study of this character. Frank Holland, a naturally adapted leading man, essayed the part of Frank Berry with manly bearing. Wm Marble gave an excellent performance of the sneaking villain Craft, which can also he sam oi Mr. Wolford and Mr. O’Leary in their respective roles. Miss Mamie Sheridan made a most excellent impression and Miss Rosina Holmes was very clever. Among; tlu* ChtircheR. LOCUST. STREET M. E. CHURCH In the absence of the pastor Dr. T. G.

practiced faithfully all the year, and as a result of careful study under the direction of Miss Fernie have reached a remarkable degree of perfection. Their choruses, which were grave and gav, classical and modern, were sung with most careful attention to minutest details. Miss Fernie certainly has marked talent for directing a chorus. The solos were choice and brought out many of the talented students of the music school. The house should have been crowded. We are very sure when the second annual concert is given all who were there last evening will he there again, and we trust many

more.
