Trpkold F«T*r. Typhoid it now admitted by all aclentlata to be caased by a venom microbe that awarma by the million in the tlasuet Of the amall inteatinea, producing fever, delirium, extreme prostration, petrifaction and death. The medical profeasion has earnestly sought a reliable antidote for this mortal plague and found none. Hence it is a bold, an almost startling claim, (a claim never before dared to be made for any remedy,) that Braiilian Balm, alone, will positively cure Typhoid TYPHOID SACILLDS. Fever in any stage. This great discovery was the result of a woman’s faith. Mrs. L. B. Bradway, of Wilmington, Del., believed the Balm would do almost anything. Hence she gave it in 6 drop doses, every three to five minutes, tc a young ladv in the last stage of Typhoid. Bhe had teen given up by the doctor, who said she could not live half an hour. To the surprise of all she quickVy revived and recovered. Since then it has been used by laymen, nurses and physicians with uniform success. How It cures was then a mystery*; but it is now fully settled that it promptly deetro3 s every Typhoid bacillus in the nystem. It stouuches the hemorrhage, he.'3 the whole alimentary track, and, iajtead of the slow, tedious convalescence, restores to health and strength vn.h surprising rapidity. In short, it fills cverj’ condition of a perfect antidote for Typhoid. Treitrnent: Give 10 drops every 15 minutes while the fever rages, p.rd one: on hour when the fever is off, nr.d give nothing else. During con- • alescenca give 3 or i times a day. To -'"ent Tvohoid give every hour. Painesville, O., druggists sty nothing hst been offered in that town for yi,ars which it so popular and gives such universal sstisfsction ss Brazilian Balm. Nearly 400 bottle# have been aold there la the last two months.

Lakayette is rising to the dignity of Mexico, Texas, Hot Springs and New Orleans. Her authorities actually refuse to permit a prize tight within the city limits. Notwithstandieo the efforts to

It is predicted by Hon. I). M. Geeting, Superintendent of Public Instruction, that It will not be manv years until almost every township in the state has a high school that will give a man an education adequate for ordinary walks in liie or sufficient to give him entrance into the universities.

The New York Sun says: “They can make us buy a brake, but they can’t make us use it,” says a member of the anti brake brigade. How often a pouting child has said to its mother: “You can put me to bed, hut I won’t go to sleep.” The similarity of spirit between these remarks seems very striking. The child very soon goes to sleep willingly, and the cyclist who has a brake is always glad to use it in time of peril. He will grab it instinctively as the surest means of safety. That a brake protects the lives of wheelmen just as surely as it docs the lives of people on foot is a fact that most brakeless riders like to ignore. And besidas insuring the rider's safety, a hand brake relieves his legs of the extra exer tion of back pedalling when frequent stops have to be made. Cyclists are not expected to abandon any of their various methods of stopping quickly. Riders who can back pedal are unquestionably safer from danger to themselves and are less to be feared by pedestrians than those who cannot. But since a wheel can be stopped quicker by two methods than by one, it U folly not to employ both. In crowded cities every expedient for promptly checking a bicycle’s speed should be encouraged, and of them ail, the principle illustrated by the old style hand brake is by far the most commendable.

A Good Story. Brazil Times. A good story is told on a prominent politician of this city which bears repeating in the press. In the early days of Clay county politics people with influence were sought to gather in the dilatory voters of their respective communities. A candidate for judge of the district composed of Clay and Putnam counties, had his forces at work, when a farmer who had recently moved to this city, and still resides here, went to this candidate and told him he could wheel the boys of all parties into line to support him if the proper pressure could be brought to bear through this applicant. He was known to have much influence and the candidate readily furnished him with the necessary campaign materials. The worker went out into his old community and labored like a Turk for four long weeks, making political speeches, distributing an inex' haustible supply of promises of otlice and spent quite a little money, until he felt that he had the whole blamed district solid for his man A few days before the election he came in to report to the candidate. His jovial countenance bespoke of the good news he brought and the couple sat down and swapped notes. "Who all did you bring over our way?” asked the pleased candidate. The worker proceeded to enumer ate the long line ot prominent people who had been won over by the worker’s eloquence. ‘By the way” remarked the candidate, “I know a lot of people up in Parke county by those names.” “Why of course, replied the worker, “there’s where I’ve been working all the time, and you bet we’ve got her solid.” "Solid, the devil,” retorted the candidate, “Parke county’s not in this dis tnct.”

The Time fer Hullfling Up the system is at this season. The cold weather has made unusual drains upon the vital forces. The blood has become impoverished and impure, and al! the functions of the liody suffer in consequence. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the great builder, because it is the One True Blood Purifier and nerve tonic. Hood’s Pills become the favorite cathartic with all who use them. All druggists. 25c.

Bryan Cato Not*.. The three liueu handkerchiefs found in the pockets of Scott Jacksen, when arrested iu Cincinnati, were sent to the Bryan family by Chief Dietch Saturday for identification. They arrived here Saturday and were recognized as the handkerchiefs which Mrs. Mary Stanley had given Miss Pearl as a present Christmas. The handkerchiefs had been but little used and the merchant's cost mark was found in the corner of one of them. He also will be asked to identify them before they are sent back to Cin-

cinnati.

L. D. Pooch, the shoe merchant of Newport, whose name has been mentioned in assisting in unraveling the mystery of the Ft. Thomas murder, was in the city Sunday. He was en route to Lafayette to visit his brother and to get away from the excitement, so he said. In speaking to a Banner Times reporter of the Ft. Thomas tragedy he said he did not think there would he any mob violence shown when the prisoneis were taken to Newport. Excitement, he said, was still high and every new clue discovered would for a few moments send excitement up to the highest pitch. ^*- Keeping everlastingly advertising brings success. ff Another Letter. City Marshal Starr on Sunday receiv. d the following letter: Marion, Ind., Feb. 14, 18%.—Dear Sir:—I learn from the papers that the detectives have not been able to find where Pearl Bryan was the 29th and 30th. There is a lady living here whose parents reside this side of Cincinnati. She went 111 company with her father on the morning train Friday, which leaves here about 4:30. About fifteen minutes before time there was a yonng lady accompanied by three men. came to the depot but did not come iu but stood outside. It was very light around so she could see plainly. Two of them had very slouch hats that partly concealed their faces. One of them wore a moustache. The lady and one of the men got on the train. She did not see the other two any more; does not know whether they went or not. If they did they went in another car. • She thought that they acted strangely and called her father’s attention to it. She says when she saw the pictures of Pearl Bryan and Jackson that they are the two that got on the tram that morning; they sat and talked together. She heard the man ask the girl if she got his letter: she said she did. This ladv and her father got oft' before the train reached the city; the two were on then. I thought that these facts might be of some benefit in the way of getting a clew to what is wanted in the case. This lady docs not want to lie a witness; she does not know that anyone would write anything about it. She has lived here for several months, is a woman of good character and I believe reliable. I will not give tier name at present. Without it is important I prefer that she will not be a witness. As 1 lived in G. for a few year* there are many who knowme, 1'tide Solomon, Wal’er Workman and many others. Yours Truly, J. II. McMahon.

A Handsome Display. Two handsome coaches, loaded with the choices frruits and wines of Santa Clara county, Col., arrived in the city last night. The cars are sent out from that county to advertise the horticultural industries of that section, and the display of all Kinds of fruits, cereals and wines is one that every one should see. The ladies and gentlemen in charge of the coaches take great pleasure in showing the people the exhibit and invite all interested to call. The cars are stationed at the Vandalia freight depot and will be here today and tomorrow. The apartments are lighted by one hundred incandescent lights and guests are welcomed in the evening from (1:30 until 9 o’clock. Among other wonders iu the fruit line are peats weighing 41 pounds. No admission is charged.

Let us Know It

There are many items of news lost each day by the modesty of j the people, who hesitate to inform a reporter of anything concerning themselves. This is wrong, and is what might be termed false modesty, for by withholding from the newspaperman any item of news, you add to his difficulties in raak ing an interesting paper, besides you have neglected an opportunity to impart information to your neighbors and friends that would ' interest them. If you are going to visit, have visited, or have friends visiting you, have entertained com pany or know of anything that will interest your neighbors, give us the information and we will only be ! too glad to publish it. If, however, you have been guilty of anything mean, don’t mention that, for the other fellow will see we get that.

About Marriage. A noted orator puts ft thin: “He who marries for love gets a wife; marries for position, gets a lady; who marries for fortune, gets a mistress. If you are sick, your wife will nurse you, your lady will visit you, and your mistress will enquire about your health. If you die, your wife will weep for you, your lady will lament, and your mistress wear mourning.

RUSSIA MAKES A COUP. That Nation Said to He ltenponftible For the <'or«*Aii Revolt. London, Feb. 17.—The Times prints a dispatch from Kobe, Japan, today which says: News from Seoul, Corea, proves that Russia made a remarkable coup on the night of Feb. 10. On that night 200 Russian marines, with a field gun, were landed at Chemulpo and marched to Seoul. The king secretly left the palace for the Russian legation, whence ho proclaimed his ministers guilty of treason. Two of the ministers were arrested and executed, and the others fled. The Tai-Won-Kun (the father of the king) is a prisoner at the legation. The anti-Japanese ministry was then formed. A bitter feeling has been aroused in Japan. A cabinet meeting was held, attended by the military officials. It is reported that the Russian minister declares that Russia was not responsible, and that he merely afforded protection at the king’s request. But it is believed that this preludes a Russian protectorate over Corea. Olamworkia Dmtroyed by Fir*.

In one of tbe most serious disputes the United States has had with Great Britain over a bonndaiy question a Virginian bore the most prominent part in preventing British encroachment. We refer to the San Jnan island incident The Virginian was Captain George E. Pickett of tno United States army, afterward General Pickett of the Confederate army. In 1850, during the disagreement auent the northwest boundary, Captain Pickett, with 60 men, was ordered to occupy Ihe island, and Sir James Douglass sent three British warships to eject him from his position. Pickett bade defiance to this show of force, threatening to fire upon any troops that attempted to land from the vessels, and a clash of arms was only prevented by the timely arrival of the British admiral, by whose orders the matter of endeavoring to take possession of the island vi et armis was postponed. Subsequently Pickett was re-enforoed and the danger of hostilities blew over. For his oondnot on this occasion Captain Pickett was highly oomplimented by General Harney, and the legislature of Washington territory passed resolutions of thanks to him.—Richmond Dispatch.
