are worth exactly what the bullion in them is worth. A silver dollar under free coinage would buy what the silver in it is worth, and that would be just half of what it buys now. That court house crowd of shouters refuse to realize this and the democratic speakers refuse to touch that question. The leaders know what we have said above are tacts, but they seek to delude the masses. The Mexican dollar is an argument against free silver that is a thorn in the side of the Chicago platform followers.

Third party and free silver men outside of the democratic party should not be fooled by auv such schemes. Putnam democrats never divide otlices.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat presents a phase of “the paramount issue” in a striking manner in say mg: “The majority of farmers do not raise wheat, but the}' should go iurther and explain how consumers of Hour, numbering a hundred to one compared with wheat growers, are to get a smell of the silver mil lennium.”

In opening his vice presidential candidacy in Atlanta yesterday Hon. Thomas E. Watson made some good points. One in particular we believe is to the point. He said in speaking of democrats: “They want to sail in our sliip. but they want to expel our crew. They want to run our train, but they want to kick out our engineer. They say they want fusion, but it is the fusion of the earthquake with the eity it engulfs. Mr. Watson lias the case right. 'The local democrats want to gain the populistic vote hut so far have offered nothing in return. What hope have populists in Putnam county at the hands of democracy. Four years ago the local democratic newspapers bitterly fought the pop ulists. Now they have stolen the financial ideas ot populists and want populists to fuse on demo cratic terms.

If the democrats had had the iMtt expectation that they could beat Mr. Henry for congress they would not have endorsed his Populist opponent.— — Imlianditolix Journal. It is about the same in this district, only the democrats did the nominating first in the hopes of getting populistic endorsement. It is that way in every district where the democrats do not hope to win. A Tekke Haute woman attacked a saloon yesterday and with an ax chopped up screens and furniture, demolishing the interior. Her husband had become intoxicated at the place and she thus sought revenge. When threatened with ar rest she laconically replied that “she would as soon go jail as to the poor house.” There was considerable more sound sense than poetry in that remark and the woman was released from custody.

In its issue today the Courier Journal has a four column letter from Henry Watterson which shows some lessons from sad experience, and states the true interest of the south lies in money of the highest value and in loyal tie votion to the national credit. Mr. Watterson concludes that another convention platform and ticket is the one hope ot the democratic party in the future.

Beta OfToriMl on McKinley Indianapolis. Aug., 6, 18911. To the Commercial Tr bum*. I am (and have been for thirty years) a democrat; but will now bet $20,000 to $10,000 that McKinley will get every one of the northern and western States. I will bet $10,000 to $5,000 that Me Kinley will take Indiana by 00,000. I will bet $5,000 to $500 that McKinley will get seven of the southern stated. I will bet $20,000 to $10,000 that McKinlev will he elected ; and I will make a bet of $5,000 to $2,500 that Rryim won’t get as large a vote as Greeley. These will hold good until Sept mberl. Yours truly.

A'litnani for IwsMb Id the Indiana Farm Products bulletin for 1896 just issued by State Statistician Thompson, Put nam county has the following figures as compiled from reports nf township assessors: Wheat acreage, average per acre 7 busheL: wheat product 182 INK bu; corn 47.8X4 bn; oats 7,882 bn. Oilier acreages are «- lollows: Itye 2147, barley 2. potatoes 507, timothy meadow 18.005, clover meadow 12,050, timothy seed 152, clover seed 0590, tobacco 1. The live stock shows up as follows: Pigs 24.458, hogs 30,229. hogs died 7922, sheep 11.191. lambs 5724, wool 65.- , 721 pounds, -beep killed by dogs 324, “beep died of disease 657. Horses 10.9X2. horses died 340, mnles 1197. mules died 34, milk cows 5692, all other cattle 13.047.

Fret* Sliver League The Greencastle Free Silver league finally completed its organization last night after two attempts. Otlicers were elected as follows: Dr. G. VV. Bence president, J. L. Randael vice president. R. 1’ Carpenter and Bailev Hawkins secretaries, W. L. Denman treasurer. Louis Steeg sergeant at arms. Y r iee presidents will be named from each precinct. The committee on enrollment reported that 350 had signed the muster, but it is more than likely that township and boundary lines'haven’t been closely drawn in the canvass and it is probable that a great share of Putnam county silver democrats have signed the article. There was a great deal of spontaneous combi:* tion yelling during the evening so much so that it interfered somewhat with the proceedings. The yells came whether or no, nothing to yell about, but the main idea seemed merely to yell.

Political conventions. Fifth Hist. Populist convention, G.-eencastle.... .August 14 Putnam County Populist convention. Greencastle August 14.

Thomas B. Reed was nominated yesterday hy acclamation for congress for the tenth time. Mr. Reed spoke and gave some A. B. C. talks on finances that were loudly cheered. Boukke Coceran is tiie same old time democrat he lias always been. He refuses to take up the Chicago screed, called a democratic platform, and therefore displeases the committee’s hand bill. Mr. Cochran is for sound money. The democratic committee’s hand bill is evidently too busy to answer the center shot given it on Tuesday by a “German American” citizen of Greencastle. The hand bill can call our German friends asses but its simple declaration fails decidedly in making them such. Germans arc usually a sound sensible lot and are tborougLy posted on politics. Democrats, populists and prohibitionists in Park county have issued a call for a county convention to nominate a joint free silver ticket for county ollices, dividing the offices. In Putnam county the democrats are moving heaven and earth to elect a free silver ticket but they want all the free silver men to unite and elect a lot of democratic officers who were nominated by a court bouse ring.

On September 10, 1893, the Democrat of this city, which is now ed iting a daily hand bill edition in the interests of the democratic cen-

tral committee said:

“A blank discharge from a Krupp gun’' aptly describes the big noise Mr. Stewart is making in the senate. However, he differs from the gteat German gun-inaker’s terrible weapons in the fact that he is perfectly harmless even w hen charged with the heaviest projectile in his arsenal. In attacking President Cleveland he is waisting his time as thoroughly as if engaged in shoveling sand or pluckling sage brush on the

deserts of Ins state.

Mr. Stewart is now making a great deal of noise and President Cleveland is sawing wood. The Democrat has Hopped and will not now defend Cleveland. Grover is the same old methodical honest money democrat he was in 1893, that the Democrat swore by. That crowd last night that was howling for free silver did so with the full knowledge that Mexican dollars are selling right in our midst for 55 cents. Those shouters did not take into consideration the fact that the Mexican dollars have five grains more of silver than the American dollars and they sell for half as much. They did not think that a Mexican dollar passes for only as much as the silver in it is worth. The United States dollar passes for double its real value because it is redeemable in gold. It is like the paper dollar which while not worth as much is equally re deemable because it is backed by gold. If that yelling audience could adopt free coinage they would destroy the backing of the silver dollar and it would buy less than the Mexican dollars whic now have such a suspicious look to the voter. Gold has free coinage and its coins

Sour Stomach, sometimes called waterbrash, and burning pain, distress, nausea, dyspepsia, are cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. This it accomplishes because with its wonderful power as a blood purifier, Hood’s Sarsaparilla gently tones and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, invigorates the liver, creates an appetite, gives refreshing sleep, and raises flic health tone. In cases of dyspepsia and indigestion it seems to have “a magic touch.” “ For over 12 years I suffered from sour Stomach with severe pains across my shoulders, and great distress. I had violent nausea which would leave me very weak and faint, difficult to get my breath. These spells came oftener and more severe. I did not receive any lasting benefit from physicians, but found such happy effects from a trial of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, that I took several bottles and mean to always keep it In the house. I am now able to do all my own work, which for six years I have been unable to do. My husband and son have also been greatly benefited hy Hood’s Sarsaparilla — for pains In the back, and after the grip. I gladly recommend this grand blood medicine.” Mrs. Petkb Bcbby, Leominster, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. $i.

Don't think that your liver needs treating if you are bilious. It don’t. It’s your stomach. That is, your stomach is really what causes the biliousness. It ha.- put your liver out of order. See what’s the matter with your

stomach.

Sick stomach poisons liver and then there's trouble. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures stomach and then all's well* That’s the case in a nutshell. Shaker Digestive Cordial is no secret. Formula’s on every bottle. But it’s the simple honest way it’s made, the honest Shaker herbs and other ingredients of which it’s composed, that make it so

efficacious.

Any real case indigestion and biliousness can be t ured with a few bottles of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Try it. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to

$1.00 per bottle.

Rowing races.

Nluteeutli Annual liegatta.

Ottawa Beach. Aug. 7.—The first senej of races held under the auspices of the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing association, at their 19fh annual regatta, took place yesterday on Black

lake.

The weather and course were perfect for the occasion, a light southwest breeze proving sufficient to temper the sun’s warm rays, but not enough to prove troublesome to the contestants. The crews of the competing clubs were all in fine condition and the various events were highly interesting and furnish.si considerable excitement to the crowds assembled to view ths

races.

DKRAUW UNIVERSITY

THE BEST NE A/S OF OUR GREAT AND GROWING INSTITUTION.

I lie Student*’ Itotna*—Their Collette and Soria I Life Their Gue»t»—Inetdeuta and Note* ol the Itrltfhl Liven of Mail)' Vnillig Tien and W omen Told by Special Keporler. The Western Christian Advocate savs: Rev. H. J. Talbott, pre tding elder of the West Indianapolis district, sends out the following word to all his preachers: “Dear Broth er—DePauw university furnishes unexceptionable opportunities for young men and young women who desire to receive an education. It is the university ot the common people. Students are valued here for what they are rather than for what they happen to have or to wear. It is peculiarly the place fir students of small means, and for those who must make tljeir own way. Two hundred ami fifty dol lars will easily put one through tor a year. Some live on much less. This is distinctively a church insti tutiou. It has good moral and re ligious surroundings. The faculty is composed of hard working, con s. ientious, and most capable teachers. There work will bear comparison with any work done in the most famous institutions in the land. Do not hesitate to recommend our people to seud their sons and daughters there. Du not hesi tate to strongly urge our young people to go. This university is doing a great work. It is dependent upon our people for support. It has lost heavily in hard times. It needs help, and deserves it. It needs your help. Our fathers in the ministry gloried in self-denials for it. Methodist preachers, more than any others, have made it what it is. Use your influence for it. Present its claims with enthusiasm. Urge our people to give to it—the prosperous to give much, and the poor as they can. Above all things, don’t neglect it—don’t

neglect it.

commercial department. Mr. Edward Horn, formerly instructor in Clark university. Atlants, Ga., will enter DePauw this fall with the view of completing the classical course and also to do some advanced work in post gradua-te study. As a means of support for himself and sister who will accompany him, Mr. Horn has obtained the permission of the faculty to organize private classes tn commercial branches. From the character of the very handsome circular prepared aud circulated by Mr. Horn we would infer that he is is a gen tleman of high ability in organtza lion us well as in teaching. We would not be surprised if the com mercial department thus started will speedily grow into such merit and proportion as wili justify its adoption into the university. A very large proportion of the students who are attending the various normal schools of the state are induced to attend by the facilities off red in the commercial studies. It I* probable that Mr. Horn will make such arrangements with Mr. J. R. Waltz of the Western Union telegraph office as will enable him to organize a class in telegraphy, with a room in West college suit ably equipped for teaching this art. Any arrangement which will bring an increased attendance of studious young people to our city will he considered an important movement on the part of the uni versity authorities.
