way for a newspaper to
build up a circulation is to do it by hard, patient and industrious work and not expect to step into prominence by the aid of a com-

MODELS MAULED. Their Coffee was Cooled in Great Style Wednesday. The Models crossed huts with the victorious Belle Union team Wednesday afternoon at McKean park to the sorrow of the Models. The visitors played a fair game of bad throughout and their field work was all that could be expected of anynmatuer team. This is how they won: The game was called by the umpire, there was a sharp crack from a hat used by one of the Belle Unions, a slide, a cloud of dust and when the wise men from the east weie through calculating the score was 32 to 11 in favor of the visitors. Some lav the loss of the game to Carey Alston as he did not show up till this morning; others say lie has lost his umbrella. We suppose be was out looking for sound money. Some say that Henry Taylor couldn't catch a circus balloon with a cable tied to it, but he was not alone. Collins was warm but he could not get faded so he burnt powder on bis face and threw the ball away. Roscsc was or. firs’, with Ins trilbys, but to no avail. Japanese juglers were not in it with the Models yesterday. The Silver Leaf was out but they tirought no victory. Jack Cain says it is hard 10 down gold; there were two gold bugs on the B. U. team. The game was too one-sided to be interesting but a fair crowd enjoyed it just the same.
1 he republican and democratic central cemmittees of Mon.*oe county have agreed on alternate Saturdays for political meetings. This is a good plan and avoids much unpleasantness, besides gives each
party equal opportunity.

Another democratic bugaboo exploded. For weeks it has been persistently rumored that certain members of the large llillis family were “otf” In politics and that they would vote for free silver. One of the family called on the Banker' Times yesterday and asked this! paper to say in the strongest terms that there was nothing in the! rumor, and gave us the authority to use the names of George B., Henry H., John L., A. T. and G H. Hilljs. The rumors circulated by democrats about republicans flopping to the free silver craze, when confronted by truth, are in variably proven to be false. The above is a sample of some of the wild rumors set afloat by democracy.

Yesterday a man, either from Terre Haute or Greeneastle, was meandering our streets, gnuking'in at the display windows amt taking in the sights of a metropolitan city. When asked where he was from, 1 e said to one who interrupted him that he was from Terre Haute, and to another, Greeneastle. He wended his way from the water works tak ing in the sights, and wt ci be nr rived in front of Shultz's drug store he saw the new thermometer dial and thought it was a watch. He pulled out Ins old bulls eye and endeavored to get the correct time, but observing no minute or second
|band, was at a loss just how to
proceed. He did not hesitate to ask a bystander bow the old thing worked and when he found that it was only a thermometer he pocketed the old time keeper and went west to grow up w ith the country.

On September 2, 1893, the Itemocrut said : “As soon as the repeal of the Sherman purchase law by the house was announced wheat corn and stocks went up.” If it was essential to stop the coinage of silyer in 1893 and it is true that so doing raised the price of wheat, corn and stocks, why would the unlimited coinage of silver now iu 189B raise the price of wheat, corn and stocks?

According to the Bloomington World, which sheet can stretch a point i-r two in favor of democracy, Col. Matson had a warm reception yesterday in Monroe count}’. It
savs t >day :
“From out of the billy woods, the ravines anil gulleys and hills came the unterrified democracy to hear the political issues ably and faithfully presented by Col. C. C. Matson assisted by an able array of speakers at Cutright’s bridge in Salt Creek township yesterday. It was by far thi largest crowd ever assembled on like occasion at this historical spot wherein the past the people of that section loved to congregate and drink in the truths from the fountain of pure democracy. The same courtly gentle man was again addressing them as he lias during every political campaign for many years. Col. Matson was at his best and wielded sledge hammer blows in favor ofdemoc-
racy and silver.”

Scrofula Infests the blood of humanity. It appears in varied forms, but is forced to yield to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which purifies and vitalizes the blood and cures all such diseases. Bead this: “ In September, 1894,1 made a misstep and injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards, A Sore two inches across formed and Irt walking to favor it I sprained my ankle. The sore became worse; I could not put my boot on and I thought I should havwto give up at every step. I could not get any relief and had to stop work. I read of a cure of a similar case by Hood’s SarsapariHa and concluded to try it. Before I had taken all of two bottles the sore bad healed and
the swelling had gone down. My Foot

We have about three silyer cranks here hut we are used to them and they are harmless. J. Burnside tells a big potato story. He says he furnished James Brumfield fifteen pounds of the Rose of Erin potatoes for sesd, Brumfield to grow them and dig them for the half of the yield, but Brumfield was to come out ahead he having a family of seven. They ate two messes out of the peek of potatoes and planted what was left and the third of this month Burnside went to see the patch. The potatoes were dug that morning and although they grew in four rows about 100 feet long he has eight bushels of potatoes and Brumfield over one bushel. This makes a yield of 26 to 1 or 36 pounds of potatoes for every one pound planted, counting that all had been planted. Who can beat the yield. Then Burnside agrees to j furnish one bushel out of them and not
