By a new law, suits against county commissioners may be brought any time within six years; heretofore the limit has been thirty days. The Buffalo Commercial says: “Winter never dared to linger in the lap of spring in this shameless- ■ z persistent and public manner under a republican administration.”

A CLUE!

The Monticello Herald says that “The search for Mrs. Hariey, of 1 )elphi, who has been missing for the past month, has been partially rewarded. On Tuesday a hair switch was found in Deer Creek, having caught on a snag. This it is said has been identified as the one worn by Mrs. Harley. The conclusion is irresistable that she met her death by drowning and the search is now confined to the .water course in the hope of finding the remains. It is a sad fate to which this estimable woman consigned herself, and the family continue to have the sympathy of the public.

Opinions.

The “kid” of the Republican says: “The Indiana Legislature adj ourned last Monday. It has been, on the whole, a wasteful, dilatory, dishonest, rabidly partisan and incapable body;” * * * . The old war horse, Gen. Manson, in his valedictory to the Senate, said: * * * “Your work has been criticised a good deal by the publio press of the "State, but when the people of the State see your w< rk they wi !1 be better satisfied w’lh the work of this Senate than iixcy Lave been with that of any Legislature that has met in the State of Indiana for twenty years.” * * * And Speaker Jewett, in his valedictory to the House, said: * * “I believe that the published volume of the acts of 1885 will, in a largo measure, repel the disposition to c iticise the action of this Aouse, which is most indulged in. by those, who have THE LEAST INFORMATION OU the subject.” * * *

The New Medical Bill.

The new medical law does not go into effect until the law's, are distributed, which probably will be in July. It is intended to regulate the practice of medicine in this State. We give an abstract of its provisions. Section 1 makes it unlawful for any person to practice medicine, surgery or obstetrics ( midwives exempted) without first obtaining a license. SectionJ2 prescribes that any person desiring to practice must first file with the county clerk an affidavit stating that such applicant is a regular graduate in some reputable medical college, and shall exhibit such diploma; or in the absence thereof, the affidavit must state that said applicant has practiced continuously for ten years immediately preceding the taking effect of the act; or, again, that such applicant has practiced continuously for three years, and prior thereto had attended one full course of lectures in some reputable medical college, such application to. be recorded and a license to be issued Upon payment of $1.50. Section 3 provides a penalty for the clerk who shall issue a license to a person lacking the above qualifications, and imposes a fine ranging from $lO to S2OO upon any practitioner violating the provisions of the act. Section 5 provides that a physician cannot recover for medical services if he fails to be licensed, and the con-

c luding section gives the form of license to be issued by the clerk. Al. J. Kitt, of the Goodland Herald, dropped into Logansport during the week. AL is a tip-top good fellow and will no doubt be postmaster of his town before long. —Logansport Chronicle. Kentland Gazetto: A Kentland constable now knows what not to do when he attempts to arrest a railroad conductor. Thursday evening last, a Kentland constable had a warrant for the arrest of a certain freight conductor charged with obstructing a street crossing with his train. He served the warrant, and the conductor then invited him into his caboose, and when aboard the engineer opened wide the throttle, and all were soon over the state line in Illinois. The constable came back without the prisoner. At Idaville, White county, Ind., Rudolph Kepfer, aged about 70 or or 75 years, on Monday last committed suicide, shooting himself with a pistol.

A small brass rivet which had been driven into the body of Jas. H. Denton, of Farmland, by a bullet which struck his cartridge box during the war, has been removed from under his armpit after a lodgment of more than twenty years. Denton was a member of the Nineteenth Indiana Infantry. The Jolly Cowboys.—A gang consisting, of six cowboys boarded the Albert Lea train at Minneapolis the other day for Chicago.— Things moved along smoothly until the conductor put his head thro’ the door and yelled: “Joliet!” “Jolly yet?/ howled back one of the cowboys. “Waal, I shud say we wuz; es yer don’t believe it, jest look er that!” And a ball from the cowboy’s revolver knocked the ticket punch out of the conductor’s hand. —Peoria Transcript. At a New York fire on Sunday Officer Coogan valiantly dashed up stairs, and seeing a little goldenhaired form in one of the rooms, quickly wrapped about it, and said soothingly: “Don’t be scared, dear; I’ll take care of you.” Then he made his way back to the street, and heard little Emily Pebau exclaim joyfully: “O that good policeman has saved my big wax doll!” Coogan took a look at the goldenhaired form, resigned it to its owner, and hasten’d to the station house to file an application for a night off. Tuning-forks and grindstones are now made of glass. Rails and sleepers are manufactured from the same transparent material.The new process is a simple one, and produces hard-glass castings at a cost of $1 32 a hundredweight. If iron does not reform its oxy dizing habit it may be replaced by this temperate and attractive rival. A young negro of Pittsboro, N. C., recently drew a likeness of Grover Cleveland and sent it to the President. The young artist has just received a picture of the white house, with an autograph signature of the distinguished democrat attached as an acknowledgment.

W. C. T. U. DEPARTMENT. THE CHURCH VS. WHISKY!

A Ringing Article Upon the Shortcomings of the Church. A CHURCH NOT JUSTIFIED IN UPHOLDING LIQUOR DEALERS —THE WEALTH OF THE TRAFFIC DOES MAKE IT RIG Ilf. S' M- D9UGLAS3. Christia prohibiton <>f the liquor traffic is the vital question of this age, On its wise and just solutions depead a mult.tude of issues of momentous character —issues of honor or dishonor, of victory of defeat to the church - issues of life or death to myraids us our fellowmen in the empire state of New York as we[l as m the thirty-eight states of our union and her territories. Christian prohibition should teach that the liquor traffic is notjonly an eviL hut more—it is a sin of the blackest dye. and as such, the church should denounce it in terms that cannot be misunderstood, constantly and fearlessly. Christian prohibition should faithfully rebuke all who

engage in the liquor traffic, and those who excuse or defend it. Is it cbrixtianity to establish churches whose members are distillers, brewers, saloon Keepers, hop producers, and the men that supply toe grain and rent the rooms or buildings for the traffic? Wo’d an individual church, comprised exclus* iyely ot the above class, receive Christian fellowship? Yet when they a r e mixed with ibe churches cf our land they are toierajed. It is idle, nay more, it is wickedness to denounce the saloou keeper, aud justify the distillers, and approve of the men who supply it with grain; or to wink at those who furnish barley ana bops for the brewery, and fellowship Christian men and women who rent their buildings or room ;for tne liquor traffic, as a very wealthy church is reported io do ia the great city of hiew York. The churches of our land need ta be purified to some extent with Christian prohibition. What would be thought of a church that would seek to justify a house for the reception of stolen goods by the plea that it is onlv supplying a demand already existing! Are grog sh ps to be tolerated as more respectable than the crimes they engender? If the church tolerates one crime why should it not all ? It crime is to be prohibited by the church, should it not begin at the fountain head, which is the liquor traffic, for beverage purposes, and ttierefore should there not be church prohibition of crime? Aty church that accepts the support of the distillery, the brewery, the saloon, or the aider and abbetor of the liquor traffic, is that moment shorn of her right tolprotest against crime. She thereby becomes a part er in the sin. and her lips are henceforth pledged to a guilty s : lence. The mission of the church is to teach the piohibition of sin in all forms, and preach the gospel to everv creature, and exemplify it in their own life as a body ot regenerate persons, and how can tins be done when the partners es the pin of liquordom rule the church ? The time has come to call tbiags by their right names, and to demand consistency in the church over state. Why treat the receiver of stolen goods as a criminal, and the destroyers of human happiness and life as exemplary Christians, if they have acquired wealth by the liquor traffic? The time has come when the 200,* 000 saloons which are warring against Christianity should be prohibited, and this be demanded bv the SO.OoO pulpits of America. ‘For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God-’ —Ist Peter, 4t- 17. According to the late statistics we have seen there are 21,665,062 church members in the United States. Estimating one-fourth to be of masculine gender, we have 5,416,265 male church members. Allowing one-third of this numborto anivc at the age of maturity we have 1,805*421 chur h members that are voters. Is not the church responsible in a great measure, for the intemperance existing in the land, because it does not advocate chnstian|prohibitiou? , IFben we consider that church property represents a capital of over sßot 000,fOO, that she possesses schools, acad. emies. seminaries, colleges and universities with 90.00 n ministers, and multiplied thousands of teachers and professors in these educational institutions, and about 500 church papers and periodicals, havng a circulation of many mil'ions of copies, penetrating every neighborhood in the United States, it does appear, if Christian prohibition were properly taught, it might prevail against -he dram shops of the nation. The Christian Temperance Women of New York say when they engaged in the crusade, ‘they were surprised to find alcohol so strongly entrenched in the cnurch. In many instances, respectable men and women drank liquors, leased, thfir buildings for the sale of liquors, and in some cases, were engaged in tho manufacture and sale of the same, and were pillars of the church. As long as the American church remains in such a condition, so long will the American dram shop remain to blast and destroy the best interests of mankind. The revolution of the church should be the watchword of the hour.’ 1. The church must cease the worship of Bacchus and return t» the worship of God. 2. Those who see and possess the light mu-4 cry alotid a d mare not. 3. Bread and butt-r must not control the church because Bro. A. has an immense distillery on Blood street; Bro. B. has I’a gigantic and coilosal brewery on Murder street Bro. G. has an immense saloon on the Broad wav of Ruin, Bro. D produces bops for Bro B’s brewery on Murder street; while Bro. E raises barley for the sariie; Sister F., a little more modest, only rents her property *o Bro. 0 . so that her son may go on the Broad j way of Ruin, . The church should treat the liquor traffic as a sin Because the distiller, brewer, saloon keener, etc., support the church by contributing their money, should the lips of the minister be sealed to not protest against the sina What will become of your church, it you anger and drive awayjthe Holy spirit? ‘For the time has come, that judgment must begin at the house of God ’ •Yes, Christian paohibition must be realized, and the seal on the minister' lips broken to proclaim againstthe Monstrous Liquor Traffic. Shakespeare told a profound truth in that oft-quoted ve-se-’ ‘•Vice is a mons er of nuch hideous mein, That to be hated needs but to be see ; But seen too o t familiar with its face. We first endure! then pity!! then embrace!!! Let the voice of warning be heard from the pulpit, that the Christian may obey Christ at the ballot box, as well as at His table—in political caucus as truly as at the prayer meeting. That the voter must vote in die fear of God- That a prohibition ballot is of as much importance, yea, more than a prohibition prayer against the sin of intoxicants. ‘For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God.’—lst Peter, iv 17.

THE “NEW DEAL” is lighter in draft and more easily handled than a hand plow, and cuts a more uniform furrow. THE “ NEW DEAL ” is lighter in draft, lighter in weight, and lighter in price than a sulky plow, and will do all its work. THE “ NEW DEAL ” Gang cuts 24 inches with the draft of al6 inch hand plow—a saving of 50 per cent, in labor. Does all the work of a fourhorse riding gang with one less horse and little more than half the cost. THE “NEW DEAL” Plows are 41.1 STEEL, insuring greatest strength with lightest weight. This is no untried and rickety experiment, and these claims are not blade recklessly to attract attention. This system is the outgrowth of careful observation and experiment reaching over a period of years, with a rational view of the requirements of the times. They are superior to any plows ever offered, and the most economical plows ever placed in the market. Send for circular. DEERE & CO., Mfrs., Moline, 111.
