The judge was at the theatre one night, and the lady sitting next to him nearly gouged his eyes out in raising her opera glasses to her eyes. The next day Judge Mack invented ! a handle for such glasses, and he has been successful in a number of suits where infringements were made on his rights. One was yesterday decided in the United States supreme court whereby he was awarded $(3500 damages.

The Toledo Bee suggests free
grindage for wheat instead of free
coinage for silver on the ground that free grindage would do the farmer some good. It says: For instance, make milling a governmental monopoly. Let no body make flour but Uncle Sam. Let the farmer bring in his wheat and have it made into flour free of charge. Arbitrarily flx the price of flour that can be made from fifty cents worth of wheat at one dollar. Then the farmer can walk in the
government mill with fifty cents
worth of wheat and walk out again

numerous expressions of approval concerning its criticism of the arbitrary rule of the Greeneastle Water Works company. A Greeneastle lady states her feelings in a card today. The rule has stirred up more comment than any imposed upon a community in years. It affects everybody and every line of business. Citizens should protest and in no uncertain way. They should refuse to contract for water in any such limited hours. A little nerve displayed in this matter, it is believed, will cause the company to abolish the rule. If no other way will accomplish the purpose, legal steps should be taken at
once.
suit the company and it would suit a great many citizens about as well as the present prescribed hours do. There is one sentence in that section that says the company maj* provide rules for their convenience and also for the convenience of the public. The public convenience in a matter of that kind is just as important as the company’s convenience. There is no way of forcing anj- two American citizens to sprinkle lawns or streets at the same time. Smith doesn't care when Brown sprinkles and Jones wants to sprinkle when he pleases. Thus it goes. For centuries men haven't seen things in the same light and it will require a wiser corporation than a water works company to get everybody in the same notion. A citizen is entitled to four hours of hose privdege a day and he should take it any time he sees fit.
The Women Protest. Editor Banner Times: I was glad to hear your protest against the extortion of the Water Works company in last evening’s paper. We are a proverbially patient people, but it surely is time to rebel against an absolute despotism. The sprinkling of flowers and plants, as well as lawns, often devolves upon the women of the house and the hours our autocrat assigns us are the most inconvenient and really impossible ones in the da}for the busy housewife. As you sa}-, let there be concerted action in the matter, as a few here and there can accomplish nothing. Reader.
One Suit. Terre Haute Tribune, There has been one suit for damages against the Vandalia growing out of the Coatesville wreck, and all others except this passenger who suffered loss or injury by that accident will undoubtedly say that no one with a just claim for damages should find it necessary to go into the courts. The company settled all claims except this one in a manner entirely satisfactory to the sufferers and losers, anti in such a generous manner that they are singing the praises of the management. The suit referred to was brought by a Pittsburg commercial traveler by the name of Rapp. The company offered to settle with him for $250, but lie refused the amount. He says lie lias suffered from nervous prostration and that his system is permanently weakened by the shock of the accident. He asks for $10,000, but the amount set forth in the complaint in a damage suit is a formal proceeding. The ease is in the United States court at Indianapolis.
Purdue's Wrrkly Itulletin. The weekly report of the weather bureau, issued Tuesday at Purdue, is as follows: “Dry-, warm, fair weather, with badlj- distributed local rains on two days; were very favorable for farm work and also for crops, but rain is needed much, especially for wheat and grass. Winter wheat, in general, is promising a good harvest, especially that on loose bottom lands; on uplands uot fertilized and in clay ground it is less promising, standing thin and spotted in some fields. The continuous dry weather, relieved at long intervals only by light showers, retarded the growth of wheat. In the central and northern portions it is not stooling out well, but with more rain in future the prospect for a good crop is enhanced. Oats is sprouting slowly. Rye is in good condition. Clover and timothy, in general, stand well, but pasture is short find but little live stock on it in many counties. Plowing for corn progressed rapidly and is nearly ended, and planting has begun in most counties, less so in the northern portion. In the southern and central portions apple, plum, pear and some cherry trees are in full bloom, and in the northern portion they are beginning to bloom, but peach bloom is very scarce. Cut worms and army worms are doing some injury in a few counties in the southern portion, and the small green insect is injuring blossoms in some counties in the central portion.”
Danville has struck a well of pure water flowing sixty gallons in three-qua-ters of a minute. 1 his will, it is thought, subdue the old familiar war cry of Hendricks county—“More water for the Danville delegation.’

The American Jersey Cattle club recently requested nineteen columns of free advertising in the Banner Times. They have made the same request at other points it seems. This from the Muncie yen'*: The American Jersey Cattle club is tin organization of importers and breeders of Jersey cattle. They do not import gall as it is bred in the bone, at least the evidence points that way. They send to the Time* sixteen printed notices that would average a column each in the Times. Some of the copy is figure work, or double cost for composi tion. They ask to have this printed as a matter of news. The rates for this work roughly estimated would be $1(30.00, and without some arrangements to pay the cost the Times would have to say “Good bye, John.”

A Humorous Fact About Hood's Sarsaparilla—it expels bad humor and creates good humor. A battle for blood is what Hood’s Sarsaparilla vigorously fights, and it is always victorious in expelling foul taints and giving the vital fluid the quality and quantity of perfect health. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, boils and other blood diseases. Hood's Dills act easily, yet promptly and etttc teiitly on the bowels and liver. •Jii cents.
rim 5000 Host Rooks. When a woman sends her subscription to The Ladies' Home Journal special privileges seem to go with it, besides getting her full money’s worth in the magazine. She can take the fullest advantage of a perfect educational plan by which she can educate her daughters or sons at the best colleges in the country free of charge, and now the Journal has arranged it so that she can buy her books—even a single book at a time—at prices heretofore obtained only by large buyers. There comes to us from this magazine a very artistically-gotten-up illustrated booklet of over 250 pages, called “5000 Books,” which serves as an eas}- guide to the best books in any department of reading. This guide is very well done. The best literary experts of New York, Boston and Philadelphia were engaged by the Journal to select the five thousand books which it presents as the most desirable for a home library, and their work has been admirably done. Very clear, explanatory com ments are given by these men of books, and besides there are given not less than 160 portraits of leading authors. No book will, perhaps, do so much to extend good reading as this guide, so carefully gotten up, so beautifully printed, ami so generously offered, free of any charge, by the publishers of The Ladies' Home Journal. “5000 Books” is unquestionably the best and easiest guide to a wise selection of books that lists been issued for a long time.

Indicate as surely as any physical symptom shows anything, that the organs and tissues of the body are not satisfied with their nourishment. They draw their sustenance from the blood, and if the blood is thin, impure nr insufficient, they are in a state of revolt . Their compiaints are made to the brain, the king of the body, through the nervous system, and the result of the general dissatisfaction is what we call Nervousness. This is a concise, reasonable explanation of the whole matter. The cure for Nervousness, then, is simple. Purify and enrich your blood by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and the nerves, tissues and organs will have the healthful nourishment they crave. Nervousness and Weakness will then give way to strength and health. That this is not theory but fart is proven by the voluntary statements of thousands cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Read the next column.

\ Surgeon’s Epilepsy heretofore has been considered almost exclusively a medical disease and almost incurable, about five per cent, being amenable to treatment ot tliat kind, but for the last few years the surgeons have succeeded in curing many’ cases, and especially is this true where the disease is reflex, that is, caused by some disease not seated in the brain, but from peripheral irritation of the nervous system. Out of seven eases operated upon in the last few years by one of our local physicians, five have recovered.

MORTON. Mr. Ferguson and family, of Rockville, spent Sunday at B. I). Carver's. Tuesday night, April 29, being N. F. Wood’s fifty-second birthday, his wife planned a quiet surprise on him which worked to perfection, be not suspecting anything till the parlor was occupied by about seventeen of his friends that Mrs. Wood invited. When they were inside the parlor they commenced to sing “Jesus. Lover of my Soul,” then Nelson heard them and thought it was angels singing, the time iM-iug about eight p. m., bus ke was mistaken. The friends spent a very pleasant evening, enjoying the surprise of Nelson, also the light refreshments which were served. Wishing him a long life they bid him good night. Epworth League Sunday night at Union Chapel was well attended, the topic being “Job's Alfiictions.” but are sorry to say some one acted very rude in talking out during services. This ought not to happen again. Boys don’t do it again. A word to the wise is sufficient. Mr. Osborne, a student of DePauw. spent Sunday here with friends. Alex Breckenridge and wife visited their daughter, Mrs. Ollie Allen, at Fmeastle last Sunday. Miss Maud Clodfelter, of Portland Mills, spent last week here with friends.
