No small-pox inßensseiaer. and we believe no caso in the county of Jmper. A thief recently stole an overcoat from a Cincinnati doctor, and along with it got a first class case of smallpox. Kentland News: A man by the name of Clark came to Ren* lard last Thursday and expressed himself as feeling sick and unable to g"t to where his relatives live in the country. It was si spected that no was tak ng smallpox and foi lack of other quarters he was placed in the jail. Dr. Chaffer has charge of him and pro bounces it smallpox. It is thought that the jail is a safe distance from the street and buildingsand if ptopei precaution is taken there is no n« d of the disease spreading.

In view of the fact that smallpox is raging in several localities in thia state wo publish the following as a cure for this loathsome disease. It was furnished the Liverpool Mercury by a well known English phyhsi?iaa. and we would advise those who read it to cut it out and preserve it: “lam willing to risk my reputation as a public man if the worst case of small-pox cannot be cured in three days simply by cream of tartar. Th s is the sure and never-failing remsdy One ounce of cream of tartardissi lved in a pint of boiling water. Drink when cold at short intervals. It can be taken at any time, and is a sure preventive as well as a curative. It is known to have cured thousands of cases without failure. It never leaves a mark never causes blindness, and always prevents tedious lingering.

One of the latest swindling schemes is the following, reported by the Fort Wayne Gazette: “A new swindle upon unsuspecting farmers ha 3 been brought to lipht. Swindler No. 1 calls upon a farmer with a patent wagon tonarue, and Informs him that having made a big thing out of ft, he is on his way home with only this county to sell. He tells the farmer he can have it for two hundred and fifty dollars, and if he wants it to write to him. In a few days patent right man No. 2 comes along. H e has heard that the farmer has the right of the county for t|e patent wagon tongue, and as he made a big thing of it in Nebraska, he wants to buy the right of the county and offers the farmer four hundred dollars, and nays ten dol ars to bind the bargain. The farmer writes to No. 1 and sends him his note for two hundred and fifty dollars. He never hears of either of the two men again, but his noteoomes up for collection in a neighboring bank, and Mr. Farmer is out two hundred and fifty dollars.”

Quite frequently, now a days, we are told that the Southern States are going pell mell into the embrace of the Republican party. Republican organs do not hesitate to put forth interviews with "distinguished South* eru Democrats,” who are made to say that Mahoneism in Virginia—which means lobbery in Virginia—is im mensely popular throughout the South. This game has recently been played by using the name of Senator Coke, of Texas. The distinguished Senator, in the manufactured inter* view, was represented as saying that the Democratic party in Texas was going to pieces of its own weight, and that the press and people of the State were breaking loose from party ties and joining the independent movement. But Senator Coke indig* nantly denies the whole matter, and sayi: "I never heard of the interview until now. It is false from beginning to end. I have not had an interview upon any subject with any newspaper representative, and, moreover, I have never expressed such sentiments and opinions as I understand this socalled interview imputes to me. My candid opinion is, the independent movement in Texas will be defeated ty 75,000 majority.” It is not probable that Mahoneism will at once be adopted in the South. Mahone is not a type of Southern statesmen.

The Boston Journal, a staunch Republican newspaper, believes In the designation of the "Half-Breed” wing as “Garfield Republicans,” and recommends that they act in opposition to the "Stalwart” element. It says: “There are tens of thousands of men in this country who believe in the exalted progressive Republicanism devoted to the interests of the peo* pie to which the “Rock of Ohio” de* voted his life in the contradistinction to that Republicanism whieh is satisfied with the victories of the past, and in the present is engrossed in a scramble for the spoils of office and in securing local appropriations.— Those tens of thousands—fast in creasing—having the right to call themselves Garfield Republicans.” And the New York Post indulges in this prophetical declaration: "It, as is thought by some of President Arthur’s friends as well as some of his opponents, it is his purpose to turn the old third-term or “Stalwart" faction, which now forms only a small minority of the party, into a majority, or to subjugate the majority to it by giving it all tne offices. It re* quired no gift of prophecy to predict that he will wretchedly fail in his purpose and wreck his Administration upon that very point.” The Cincinnati Commercial ox* plains the situation— connecting the “Stalwarts” and “Star Boutors” In opposition to the “Half-Breeds”—

thus: “The same lot of persons—the • name newspapers—that ware abusing Garfield up to the day he was assas-1 sinated, the Star Routers whose es. fort was to stain Garfield with their own dirt—are now abusing Blaine.— They are determined to associate the ex-Secretary of State in every way with the murdered President.” Speaker Keller bus succeeded In b. eking the way to tariff reform for I jo next two years by packing the Ways and Means committee. Only tariff bills that are favorably reports I by the committee stand any ehanse of being adopted by the house. The power cf the Presid. ut to veto a bill seems slight in comparison with that of the Speaker, which has not been vested in him by either the laws or the constitution. The majority can accomplish but little without the divine sanction of the Speaker, and representatives can do but little more than give thlcr votes if not smiled upon by that functionary. They may introduce bills but nothing comes of them. They can hardly make speeches nnless the Speaker is willing. That functionary is sup posed to go by riles, but when an unscrupulous Speaker is determined to sot them aside, rules go for naught.

Chips from Gilliam.

Everything lovely in Gillam except the roads, and they are somewhat rough. ’Beautiful snow* fell on Wednesday but not enough to make the sleigh bells jingle. Quite a number of our young people are attending Prof. Faris and Cop* pea’s writing class. Literary Society at Vernon school house every two weeks. The funeral sermon of Mrs. John Querry was preached at Independence Chapel on last Sabbath afternoon, by the Rev. J. J. Thompson. Miss Lissa Mitchell, who is teach Ing at Pleasant Ridge, north of Rensselaer, spent the holidays with ner friends and relatives at this place. A. K. Hartesty, O. H. Hunt and L. E. Rathfon attended Teachers’ Institute at Winamac last week. All had a pleasant time and report "a good Institutr," Prof {Brown of Valpo was present one day. Prof. L. 8. Mitchell, one of Gillam’s old pedagogues, 1s married to Miss Suo Fagg, of Bradford. Nothing like getting these times,“Be you ever so homely." Tom Randle, of Barkley still goes a "fishing”, up about Independence, where there is a "Seal” that he has been trying to capture forsome time. Spelling school at Union school house Thursday night. Milton Makeover, teacher. The oyster supper at R. Randle’s on Thnrsuay night, proved to be a “firstclass dance." Huffman has full sway. Ah! Charley, you’re left. Yes, Polka and Walts will be down to see the new top buggy. Wonder what made "Grape Island” change his name to "Unde Simon.” Grape Island wants to know whore in the “tyvol” Polka and Walts are. That, we suppose, is equivalent to "Where, In Union township, are Polka and Walts?” We are not any whore near him. Longing to hear from Uncle Simon alias Grape Island, we close. More|by-an<9>y.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence of the Sentinel. WasnmoTOX, Jan. 5,1882. There, I've written 1882 without spoiling a 1 to make a 2—just as easy as Get io—for that’s the proper pro nuneiation—gave Arthur the "Grand Prize" in what one of the Massachusetts Senators, Hoar, calls the "Lottery of Assassination.” To-day at noon meets the 47th Congress once more after a holiday vacation, and begins the trouble of the sixth-rate stalwart Speaker chosen to preside over the House. The author of this political metempsychosis "still lives,” a full match for the government counsel conducting hg prosecution, and as saucy under his "spiritology” and "inspiration” as a man who has completed a contract to remove an obstruction impeding the march of Imperial ambition. Is that plain? I hope it is.

We still hear a great deal about the determination of this administration to puieue remorselessly the Star Route scamps, and In evidence of their sincerity in that the appointment of Benjamin R. Brewster to the Attorney Generalship is triumphantly quoted. Mr. Brewster hag been a lawyer of -distinguished prominence and marked ability. No one cavils at that. But age has its compensations, and Mr. Brewster is no exception to its infirmities. That the “govern meat” will indulge in loud moutbings and encourage its organs in giving large assurances do«s not exactly make it clear that any of these rascals wfil ever be brought to book. -- Wl.a‘ t Dorsey, who corrupted Indiana from its moorings, and Brady, who gave him and his pals the facilities for accomplishing their nefarious work, as well of robbing the treasury debauching the ballot-box and making this administration a possibility, made to pay the penalty of their crimes by their beneficiaries! The idea is preposterous. If it should so happen it would be thiough a miscarriage of the eccentric form of “jus lice* in vogue with the men now autnorized to make and unmake the courts, judges and juries who w|li have jurisdiction of the causes. “Put not your faith” in these, who would be princes, to the extent of believing that they will destroy those witaout whose ready wit, fertility and genera} cuesedness it would be plain Mr. Arthur, kicked out of the New York Custom Hoase “in order that the of flee (Collector of Customs) may be honestly administered.”

The Committee of Ways and Means has been so constituted as to make it next to impossible to have any reform of our miserably disjointed and outrageously unjust and inequitable revenue system. The prompt approval of the Morrill bill by the Senatorial Finance committee, to constitute a finance commiision foreshadows the purpose of the republican represent atives in both Houses. Indeed, Judge Kelley, Chairman of the House committee nas avowed as much. The roving commission favored will protract Its labors until too late to enable legislation on the subject until after the next Presidential election. You remember what a handle was made of tnis issue in 1880. The same game |s to be p ayed over again in 1884, if they hays their own way. This is simply a denial of justice to the mass, es of the people, but what care these political speculators, This leads me to remark that the protectionists, a 8 they falsely style themselves, don’t “point with pride” so much to Prus. sia any more as evidence that thei r financial system is an unmixed blessirg. From reports emanating from the various parts of Bismarck’s dominion, both mining and manufactur. ing interests, despite the high tariff for their “protection,” are in a “state of obstinate stagnation,” and the effect has been “generally ruinous to local industry.” The complaint is common over the Empire, and a loud demand is made for a “return to tho customs policy of 1865, as the only hope for trade.” The words in quo tation marks are extracts from the several boards of trade throughout Germany, and with two solitary exceptions, the testimony is concurrent in declaring the effect in Germany as "disastrous to all kinds es trade and industry.” Speaker Keiffer’s assign men* o committees, under the “inspiration” of ex-Secretary “Secor” Robeson, ha g created a buzt, not confined at all to the minority. On the 53 committees all the chairmen but four are Jepre. sentatives from Northern States, and those four are among the unimportant on the list. But It is less tu this than other causes exception is taken Pennsylvania is rewarded with the lion s share of places of prominence while New York is scarcely considered. If not to-day, yet at an early period a move will be made, 1 :is said, by Republican members, to change the manner of appointment of these committees. You know the practical work of legislation is done by these committees,and the Speaker has practically made a “mess” of it in his assignment of the members upon them. If he doesnot enlarge his field of information and action, Mr. Keiffer will not find the Speakership a bed of roses.

Thf “grand old party” having returned to power Washington will soon be as it was when they before commanded ail the departments of government. The lobby, which was starved out by the miserly economy Of a Democratic House, Is here again in force, and the estimates for appropriations are boiling up and running over to their old proportions. If there is a regret for this it cannot in conscience be said by any intelligent observer that he is surprised. To make their work effective they are preparing to weed out every Democrat upon any pretext to enlarge their now slender and equivocal majority. There are twenty-one contests, not more than one or two of which have any merit, but such a thing as that is never an Impedimetf to “republican” progress. You will have noticed the dead lock in the New York legislature.— Bom Kelley has a following in itg membership large enough to be the balance of power in both Houses, and he is hawking his wares around for a dicker with the highest bidder. Lot OS hopo that the Democrats will not enter into the competition. That the republicans will, goes for the saying, with Mahone, Rlddleberger and Repudiation as illustrations of their ca» pacity to trade for anything from • jewsharp to an anaconda, and the negotiations are pending for greenback alliances In several Southern States H.

died.

BAUMGABDNEB—In Walker twp , Jasper county, Indiana, January 5, 1882, after a severe illness of about six weeks, Jacob H. Baumgabdnxb, aged 81 years, 2 months and 18 daysFather Baumgardner was well known in the northern part of Jas per county, and also in the Town of Rensselaer where he lived for several years previous to bis death. A short time before he was taken siok he came to visit his daughter, Mrs, Wenriok, in this Walker township. Father Baumgardner was born in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, Oct, 20th, 1800. and in the year 1833 was converted, and united wita the M. E. church. He then erected in his house a family alter, which he ever after kept up until his death. In the year 1855 he removed with his family to Ohio, and in 1861 came to Jasper county, Indiana, where he resided until his death.

The zeal of Father Baumgardner in the work of Christianity wherever and whenever opportunity offered, is well known by all who knew him. In speaking, publishing and sowing beside all waters, the readers of Ths Sentinel, an I also those of Ths Republican, will bear witness of bis efforts in the cause of religion. The writer of this notice remembers when he was Superintendent of two Sab. bath Schools, which were about four miles apart, holding one in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon, making the journey on foot most of the time, and carrying with him the library of the schools. Those works no doubt have had their effect in edifying and building up the household of faith. He loved the Bible—the Book of Books—and made it his constant study, bringing things, old and new, out of its hidden treasure house. During an acquaintance of twentyfive years 1 have found him always the same thing—an earnest contender, for the faith be espoused in the State of his nativity. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Hie theme iu cont ersation was his hope of sooner or later being ushered into the presence of his-God, where he would receive a Crown of Righteousness as bis reward. He kept the faith, and was able to say to the writer, a few days before his death, tnat he had always set a good exam . pie before his family, and with the hope of a triumphant enhance into the everlasting Kiagdom of God, he gave up the ghost.

Ha leaves four children, and a number of grand and great-grandebild ren as well as numerous friends to mourn their loss. In his death the children have lost a kind father, and the church a faithful worker. But they mourn not as those that have no hope. Words of comfort to the bereaved and the friends were spoken by Rev. Mr. Thompson, pastor of the Medaryville circuit. J. F. Spmiggs. (Republican please oopy )

Mr. John B. Alden, who organized the “Literary Revolution,” which has given the people best of book at such wonderfully low prices, does not give up the fight with the failure of "The American Book Exchange,” which failure, he claims, was in no respect the result of selling books too cheaply, but was caused by the combination of publshers and booksellers against the enterprise; infamous and baseless slander being scattered broadcast culminated in a "panic” among the creditors of the institution, causing a "run” which resulted in rhe failure Of the company, just as it has often caused the failure of banks or other institutions perfectly solvent under ordinary conditions. He and other friends of the enterprise have organized “The Useful Knowledge Publsh. ing Company,” and a literary Rebel lion which proposes to carry on-the fight. The first work published by the new company is a beantiful edition of Macaulay’s “Life of Frederick the Great,” which they sell for the marvellously low price of 20 cents, neatly bound in cloth. The company proposes to begin immediately tne publication of a series of cyclopaedias one of hivtdry, one e! biography, otfe of scienoe, one of choice prose literature, one of poetry, and one of religious literature each of which cyclopsed ias will be in several large octavo volumes of over 1000 pages each at the price of $1.25 per volume, in cloth binding, and will also be published in numbers, at only two cents per number, being considerably below even the “revolution” prices! They will send specimen pages and catalogues free, and friends of choice literature at low prices will be sure to shower them with postal-cards, at least.

1881. 1881. The Indiana WEEKLY SENTINEL Has been enlarged and improved until it is now the Larsest and the Very Best paper published in the West. The Weekly Sentinel is in all regards a superior eight page 56-column paper. The merits of the Sentinel as a general newspaper are so well known, that commendation of it is superfluous. We will add, however, that the management has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical vine to its patrons for the money. In its news, its editorials, its literary, and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading—it shail not be surpassed by any paper circulated in the State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. No jading, thinking man in the State can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cosh at which it is furnished. Ths Sentinel will continue to be the same earnest advocate of true American Democracy in the future that it has been in the past; indeed, it proposes to battle more vigorously than ever agaiust the party of centralization and corruption.— Vast monopolies own and control the Republican party, and in the future, as in the prist, it can pot do otherwise than foster class legislation, thereby trampling upon the interests of the producing masses. The motto of the Sentinel is, ‘‘Hold fast to the Democratic faith and battle on,” and as certainly as God reigns vicory will ultimately be with the peopleThe Republican party cun not survive its* crimes. Its monumental iniquities cast their shadows athwart the land.— Just men of ah political opinions are horrified at i's colossal crimes Its ambition is for plunder and Imperial power. Its downward progress, from the days when Grant’s thieves organized the Whisky Ring to raise a corruption fund, to Guiteau’s tragedy, lias been marked by infamy at every step. From the days when John .Sherman barteied Federal offices for perjuries to sent Hayes, crimes have followed each other in rapid succession. The flood-tide of thievery has flowed grandly. There have been Star Route thieves, Treasury thieves, Navy Department thieves, War Department thieves and Signal Service thieves, and Indiana has had Dorsey, the notorious Star Route thief, and Secretary of the Republican National Cocamittee, in the State, organizing crime to carry the State against the will of the people. The Sentinel will invite the people of Indiana to contemplate these Republican methods to obtain and maintain power. It will keep its readers informed with regard to Republican fights for spoils, the mutual denunciations of its factions, their criminations and recriminations, their mutual hates which culminated m the assassina- ' tion of the President, thereby capping the climax of horrors and completing the work of infamy, With this record of crime, the Republican party asks for a new lease of power, and it will be the high ambition of the Sentinel to defeat its purposes and emancipate the. conn try from its debauching grasp. The Sentinel, in addition to its superiority, is, moreover r au Indiana paper, devoted to and specially represents Indiana’s interests, political and otherwise, as no foreign paper can or will do, and ought, therefore to have preference over the Dapcrs of otber States, and we ask Democrats to bear this in mind, and select Your Own State Paper when you come to take subscriptions and make up clubs.
