AYER'S The only SARSAPARILLA Admitted at the WORLD'S FAIR CHICAGO 1893. Why Was It that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, out of the great number of similar preparations manufactured throughout the world, was the only medicine of the kind admitted at the World’s, Fair, Chicago? And why was it that, in spite of the united efforts of the manufacturers of other preparations, the decision, of the World’s Fair Directors was not reversed? BECAUSE According to Rule 15 — “Articles that are in any way dangerous or offensive, also patent medicines, nostrums, and empirical preparations, whose ingredients are concealed, will not be admitted to the Exposition,” and, therefore— Because Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is not a patent medicine, not a nostrum, and not a secret preparation.! Beeauee its proprietors had nothing to conceal when questioned as to the formula from which it is compounded. O < Because it is all that it is claimed to be o —a Compound Concentrated Extract of O Sarsaparilla, and in every sense, worthy q the Indorsement of this most important o committee, called together for passing © upon the manufactured products of the 2 entire world. o Ayer’s i Admitted for Exhibition © AT THE WORLD'S FAIR 2

Something New. The Saturday Evening Post, fc of Philadelphia, Duw in its 74th year of publication, enjoys the proud distinction of being the oldest family and literary paper in America, -if not in the world. It was the original cradle in which all our great novelists and poets were rocked into fame. Since 1821 there is hardly a writer famous in the world of letters whose works have not adorned its j ages. Poe, Ar-, thur, Willis, Griswold, Stephens, Duganne, Buntline, Bryant, Halleck, Southworth, Robinson, Ben* nett, and hundreds of others, have been among its cont ibutors. And just as it from its earliest days led the country in age, writers and excellence of matter, so it claims the same proud pre-eminence today. It has always kept in sight what was the Highest, Purest, Most Entertaining, in a word, the Best in literatuie. And these principles will its future. The oest writers wJI continue among its contributors, and, if such a thing is possible, The post will be made better than ever. Its pages will be perfectly from the degrading and polluting trash which characterizes m my other so called literary and family papers. I.’he Post is now issue-* in a new so-m of 24 instead of 1G pages. It is also trimmed and neatly bound, giving it for reading pn--. poses, all the advantages of a book.

A NEW BANK ORGANIZED. A new State Bank under the name the Commercial State Bank is in process of organization at this place at the present time. It will be ready for business on April 2d The stock-holders are as follows: Hon. E. P. Hammond, Addison Parkison, Hon. Simon P. Thompson, Jas, T. Rnndle, George H Brown. Sr , Hon. Marion L. Spitler, Emmet L. Hollingsworth, Capt. John M. Wasson, George E. Murrav. and Geo. K.

Hollingsworth, J. M Wasson. The respohsibility of these stockhold, ers will foot up at least a halfamillion dollars, and makes the new bank sound beyond question. It will for the present occupy the room of the Ctizens’ State Bank, which is goins out of business, but probably within a short time it will remove to a permanent location in the room now occupied by Porter & Yeoman’s dry goods stgte, w ich will be fitted up especially for its use.

A neat story is told oi a Roman Catholic priest in Victoria, whos < sermons are usually of a practical kind. On entering th j pulpit one Sunday he took with him a walnut to illustrate the character of the various Christian churches. He told the people the shell was tasteless and valueless—that was the Wesleyan church. The skin was nauseous, disagreeable and wor' saless —that was the Presbyterian church. He then said be would show them the Holy Roman Apostolic church. He crackod the nut for the kernel and—found it rotten. Then his reverence covghed violently and pronounced the benediction. How Fast Do You Live? Tht pace at which Americans live is ad" mitted to be quite the reverse of tortoiselike, —indeed, has become so rapid that an important question at the present time is, “How Long Can This Pace Last?"— This question is answered by such wellknown authorities as Edwin Gould, Chas. Dana Gibson, Judge J. F. Daly, William Wetmore Story, Prof. Edwin"Cheokley, an Dr. Mary Walker, Magazine for March, and everyone should read what they say. A decidedly “sweet" article, “Sugar Time Amons therapies,” will appeal to all lovers of the deTOotable amber syrup, tw n with the buckwheat cake. The illustrations with this are esp oially fine, and also those with a humorous article. “Some Color Sketches,"whio treats of negro types indigenous to our Si ithern States. “How to Play the Piano 1A ithout a Teacher" is another of those elpful articles conveying instruction, foi which Demorest’s is noted. The story matter is bright and timely. "Sanatarian 'treats of 'How Food Affects Temperament,” and it would pay many people to read it, and perhaps Induce them to mend theii yays in the matter of food. Boys will be inter.sted in howto make “A Spinning Kite, ” which will rise higher, fly farther, ana be more fun than any ever m*>de.— Every department is full to overflowin? with good thinge.—in fact, this is a typical number of the ideal family magazine published by W. Jennings Demorest, at 15 East 14th St.,New York, for only $2 a year.

Andrew Jackson has won both state and national fame by exposing the Republican hypocrisy on thtf temperance question. Last Tuesday had been set for the discussion of the Nicholson bill and he galle ies of the house were filled by the friends of the bill from all parts of the state. As one amendment after another was offered by the leaders of the party to shape the bill to suit the liqu r league, Mr. Jackson let loose a bomb shell that exploded with deadly effoot. He arcse and paralyzed the house by charging that there was a barrel of whiskey in the cellar of the oapito . placed there by the state liquor league for the free use of members of the legislature, and that they were subsidized by it. Then says an eye witness, < ame a scene of wild confusion. - Dozens of members tried to speak at once. Some rushed at Andrew Jackson as if they intended to do him bodilv injury. The sereeant-at-arms was culled for. The galleries seemed to be with Jackson, and the ch drman threatened to have them cleared. At len srth quiet was restored and a demand was made for an nvestigation, bdt it wxs ruled out of order by the chair, in order to give the custodian of the booze an opportunity to remove it fro the capitol The representative from Carroll is a strong partisan, but an honest man.— He is always on one side or the otner of eve v question and having views i« never afraid to express them. Of course Andrew will be disciplined by his partv leaders and will probably be divested of his ellow jacket and three-eyed peacock feather, nt he will never withdraw the i charge that the liquor league hi d free whiskev in the state house cellar to bribe his colleagues.—Carro l County Citizen.

The People Will Compare Records. After adjourn ent of the present egisi lature the people of the state will have an opportunity to compare records. The Democratic legislature, placed upon, the ' st tute books all the reform laws of recent years. So far the Republican legislature | has been wrangling over the question of . who shall control the patronage of the benevolent and reformatory institute ns of the state. The only reform measure introduced so far is the Nicholson temperance bill and the Republican leaders made an agreement before the eleotion with the Liquor league that no radical temperance laws should be pass d. The Democratic party gave the people the new ballot law, the new tax Uw, the fee and salary law, the n w school book law and all the laws favorable to the laboring people of the state What is the Republican legislature going to give the people? An infamous legislative gerrymander and the withdrawal of the apI pointing power from the governor, th >t the I "lean and hungry ghosts” may be provided for. i Unless it be the Nicholson bill, no re- , f orm meosure of any kind has thus far been , submitted to the legislature.

“A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

A Prominent Traveling Salesman. Indianapolis, May 10,1894. Lyon Medicine Compares Gentlemen—I began taking LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS some time since for a very bad case of nervous dyspepsia and insomnia, and I am glad to state that it is doing for me what all other remedies tried by me failed to do—cure me. I have about finished my third box and I am more than pleased with its results, and I can cheerfully recommend it to all suffering with nervous dyspepsia as a first-class medicine, and one that has merit. You are at liberty to use this letter in any manner you may see fit, as I am anxious indeed to have every one know who suffers with this dreadful disease how to get well, Very truly yours, G. R. Rhoades. 885 North Mississippi Street, City.

Something everybody wants, something all can get by securing a oopv of Vick’s Floral Guide for 1895, a work of art, printed in 17 different tinted inks, with beautiful colored plates. Full list, with description and prices, of everything one could wish for vegetable, fruit or flower garden. Many pages of new novelties, encased in a chaste cover of silver and old. ' Unusual and astonishing offers, such as Sweet Peas for 40 cents a pound, $300 for a name for a New Double Sweet Pea, etc. If at all interested in seeds or plants send 10 cents at once for a copy of Vick’s Floral Guide, which amount may be deducted from first order, to James Vick’s Sons, Rochester, N. Y., and learn the many bargains this firm is offering. Sound Advice. ’ If the leaders want to keep the Democratic party intact," says the LaPorte Argus, "they should keep it clear of entangling alliances with the Popul'sts, or any of the other prevailing ites or isms of the day. Nearly every idea the Populists have is socialistic or paternalistic in its conception and intent, and Demooratic leaders ought to know better than to suppose the intelligent believers in the Dem. ocratio theory of government will ever follow a course directly opposite to the one of all their traditions and beliefs.— Most Democrats are Democrats from principle and not for spoils, and suoh men can never be led far away from the landmarks of the party as laid down by the Jeffersons and Jacksons of the organization.— They do not be'ieve in socialism, and are instinctively opposed to the tendency to absorb the individual citizen into a mass swayed by a centralized power, and they will not follow in that direction. It Is very plain that any attempt to lead far in that direction would result in a split in the party organization, and the adherence of true Democrats to fundamental Democratic principles which are the same today, and just as necessary to the welfare of the government as they were in the eaily days of the Republic.”

The Gold Flower. This flower, so fittingly called Gold Flower, was produced bv M. Moser, of Versailles, France, and introduced In Europe last season, the plants selling at a very high figure, only a few plants coming to America. The plants are two to three inches across, of a bright, shining; golden yellow and bearing numerous handsome stamens. The plant is of low, spreading, branching growth, with handsome leaves, the upper side much darker than the lower. It is perfectly hardy, forms an excellent border, or is grand for bedding, while as a single pot plant it is charming with its clean, bright green foliage as a background for the flowers, great, shiny yellow disks, brilliant in their reflections as burnished gold. This year an enterprising firm is offering it at the price of ordinary plants, viz., 25 cents a plant. By sending 10 cents to James Vick’s Sons, Rochester, N. Y., for Vick’s Floral Guide, (which amount may be deducted from first order), you will learn all about this beautiful plant Hypericum Moserianlum, and al so regarding their offer of $300 cash for a name for the New Double Sweet Pea.

The present national administration has been beset with all kinds of difficulties, for which it is in no way responsible. It found every law. pertaining to taxation and to the finances, of Republican origin.— The panic overshadowed the country before Cleveland became president Notwithstanding unfortunate conditions, the worst is over, and we predict that before the present administration goes out of power. there will be a revival of prosperA bill introduced in the State senate “by request, ” if it becomes a law abolishes all the remaining distinctions which the law makes between the white and negro race, the purpose of the bill being to remove the legal obstacles to marriages between whites and blacks.

Safeguards Against Catarrh. Both from the obstructions occasioned by incipient catarrh, and from habit, young children breathe through the mouth. If parents would make it an axiom of the nursery and the playground, ‘Breathe through your nose only," the cure would be well begun. Let tne lesson be repeated, enforced, and insisted upon, until it becomes second nature with t e child. Let it be more familiar than the daily routine of exercises, and as necessary as the meals. Het it as a part of the pu-rils education that he shall walk a certain number of roi uds of the play ground at a rapid rate with his lips tight!v closed. Make the opening of them during the round a demerit, and the completion of the task in aoonunos with directions, a merit. Increase the distance and the speed daily.— When a boy or girl can walk, at a rapid pace, or, better, run, three hundred'yar. s, breathing only through the note, and repeat the performance thrice during the day, there need be small fear of chronic n"sal catarrh. Even when the disease has'become seat, ed in a young person it may be eradicated by persistence in this exeioise. which, as everyone knows, increases the lung powei and benefits the circulatory system at the same time. It is a very simple remeefir, but, persevered in, it is a perfect one. In persons of any age, a very efficacious remedy, often curative, if used regularly, is salt water, snuffed Into the nostrils ninht and morning. A strong solation of seasalt (or even common table salt) in water should be kept in a bottle, and when needed a sufficient quantity diluted with warn water so that the liquid will have only a sli htly salt taste. A large glassful is sufficient, and the salted water should be used at blood heat. It can be used at any time, though it is best to take it jwst before retiring, and immediately upon rising in the morning; but i ever before going out-of-doors.—From “Sanitarium," in Demorest's Magazine for February. Demorest's Family Magazine, for Feb ruary, has been rece ved, and is brimfull of entertaing, instructive and valuable reading. No household should be without without it. Could Be Sold at a Profit. Cleveland, Jan. 15.—A woolen mill in this city is now employing 300 persons day and night and the proprietors attribute the increase of orders to the free rdmlssion of wool which they say was the hardest blow France and Engl and ever received commercially from this country, two English experts whv examined the products and prices of this mill say the cloth could be sold at a profit in Bradford, England.

A Credit to His State. Western Christian Advocate. Governor Matthews, of Indiana, is 6 credit to his State. His recent message rings clear on all questions of good morals. The glaring iniquity of the Roby Fair As- > ociation, not inaptly styled Indiana’s MotrteDarlo almost impregnably intrenched behind law, he recommends th? Legislature to make impossible. He iske nly sensitive to the d sgraee of prize fighting, and asks its clearer definition, with a view to its absolute prohibition. He asks that the Governor be empowered to suspend sheriffs or other executive officers who neglect or refuse, to enforce the law in case of riots, etc., so that all possibility of anaiohy may be removed; and to clinch his authority for good order, he asks power to bring action against railroads and other common carriers to restrain them win carrying passengers to engage in unlawful enterprises, and making such carrying a cause for forfeiture of their franchises When suoh a man is elected to the presidency, even his political opponents can but be proud of him.

Twenty-four years ago electricity as a mechanical power was unknown. Now $900,000,000 is invested in various kiuda of electrical machinery. Doctors are among the most self-sacri-ficing men in the world. They often put themselves in danger while in attendance upon those afflicted with infectious or contagious diseases. One can always find a ooctor who will take any ease, however dangerous it may be to himself. Many a doctor risks his life in the practice of his profession. Many a one has fallen a martyr to duty. Two years ago, when cholera threatened this country, scores upon scores of doctors and medical students hastened to otter their services in the hospitals. Let plague come upon any plaoe, and there is rarely ever a lack of doctors to contend with it. If few of them were desifous of attending the Chinese leper who recently died in New York, it was because his case was hopeless from the first, and because the disease might be spread by any one who ctme in contact with him; yet this leper was not left without medical care. The community honors the medical profession, so many members of which sacrifice their lives for the sake of the community.

There is no use walking the floor with a felan. Wra» a cloth loosely around the felon, leaving the end open. Pcur gun jowder in the end and shake it down until he end is covered, then keep it wet with camphor. In two hours the pain will be re'ieved and perfect cure will follow quickly. There is a peculiar sameness about the deaths of Governor Gr-.y |and General Manson. They died in the same month. General Manson was carried from a Monon train at Frankfort unconscious and died shortly aftsr being taken to a hotel. Gove nor Gray was found unconscious in a Pullman sleencr when he reached the Mexican capital and was conveyed to a hospital where he died before regaining conseiousness. But two weeks intervened between the dates of their deaths. In life they were closely associated together. General Manson was elected lieutenant governor in 1884 when Governc r Gray was chosen governor. A little more than a month ago they were together at the Jackson day banquet at Indianapolis,

Warren Knowles, by his attorney, D. H Chase, was about to bring suit against Nick Fries, the Northside saloon keeper, demanding damages in |the sum of SSOO, when a compromise was effected. Fries pays Knowles $250, the latter’s doctor s6i>, his attorney SSO and the sister of St. Joseph’s hospital $26. The action was based upon the tact of Fries having sold liquor to Harry Warden, who shot Knowles.— Logansport Pharos. The result of the meeting of the Populist convention at Kansas City is a fight between the Omaha platform element and the Populist national committee headed by Taubeneck.

Senator Turpie could have done nothing which would please his constituency better than when ho made uls speech in the senate on the resolution to elect senators by the direct voice of the people. Among other things speaking on this resolution, he eaid; “ When we rec 11 the harsh criminations, the gross charges of pecuniary oonuption and of fraudulent combination of intrigue, disgraceful and dishonorable to the whole body, with which a prolonged Senatorial conte»t is accompanied, whether in party conference or in the open assembly, the removal of such a procreant evil should be deemed a prime political necessity. It has therefore been said that the Grand Central railway has. chosen n Senator in a certain state; that the Graud Central Bank has chosen another elsewhere, and that the Central Association of Mining and Manufactures has defeated or elected a third. Nothing is intended to be assumed here concerning the truth or falsity of these assertion* or accusations. jßut these malfeasance ohaiges have an exists ce. The way of this riddance is plain: If the choice of the constituent members o this body w#s left ,o the mass of voters ip the State these perilous criminations would be infinitely lessened. They would altogether disappear. No rea onable grounds could be given for their support."

Taxing Greenbacks. Correspondent in Indianapolis News. Township Assessor (under the old way) —How much money on hand April 1? Person Beln; Assessed—My money is all in greenbacks, and they are not taxable. See? Under the new way. Assessor—How much money on hand April Ist? Person Being Assessed- My money is yet all in greenbacks, see? Assessor—No; I don'i see. Assessor (rising to bis feet)- My fellow countryman, and toyou tax-dodgers: For years and for years you people have been favored with a law placed upon our statute books exempting greenbacks from taxation. Why thia should have been done I am not aware. The greenback dollar has always gone for 100 cents on the dollar when you wantod to pay a debt, but yet it was not taxable, You. no doubt, lavi appreciated this, and now wonder why I arise and address you thus. Mr. Tax Dodger, greenbacks are uow taxable. Have time, and discontinue your old practices of goingjtc the count/treasurer's office and asking the treasurer to save for you the greenbacks taken in that day for taxes, that you may luild up yonr pile. Also going to the banks ana asking the same favor that yeu may convert your entire means into greenbacks in order to escape a just taxation. The person being addressed now raises his eyes and asks. “Is there no eseape, and who is responoible for this changed state of affairs?"

The Assessor continuing: ‘My Dear Sir —ln the Fifth Congressional district in the great State of Indiana, there lives a man by th • name of George W Cooper who has had the honor of representing his district in the Lower House of Congress for more than one term, and by and throughhis efforts he caused abill to pass both branches of Congress that secured the signature of the President, which made it a law, making greenbacks taxable. I am proud to say that the people of Indiana appreciated Mr. Cooper for his more than did his people of his own district By the enactment of this law thousands of dollars will be added to the taxable property of every county In Indiana (Bartholomew county not excepted), that has heietof ore gone untaxed. A * imilar bill was introduced and passed both t ranches of our State Legislature at the present session, and received the Governor’! sigurture Saturday, February 23d, 1895, and now the poor man with a humble cottage and a small lot of household goods, who has had to bear the burden of taxation, can rise up and say to Mr. Cooper, “May the Lord bless you." Equal taxation is not unjust taxation.

It is said that Champ Clark, congressman from Missouri, who is considered one of the most scholarly and eloquent nun in congress, as well as a wit and humorist, ill take the lecture field after congress adjourns. One of his lectures, “Richer than Golconda,” is a lea l * ture cn the bible in answer to Bob Ingersoll, which it is said is bound to attract universal attention. It would be easy to make many columns out of the good things Mr. Clark has said. As a sample of his style we give bis reply to a Protectionist democrat who stated he would rather be right in hell thanwrong in heaven. Mr. Clark replied as follows: “The gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr Beltzhouver],borrowed from Pagan Bob Ingersoll a statement that he would rather be right in Hell, from which 1 infer he meint the Republican camp; than wrong in Heaven, which by the same token is the Democratic camp. That utterance was not original with Ingersoll. He stole it bodily fromjthe devil. It is a quotation —much disfigured in the quoting—from the celebrated speech put into Satan's mouth by glorious John Milton m “Paradise Lost” after “Old Homie” had been hurled from the battlements of Heaven into the burning lake, wh. n he said: Better to reign in Hell than eerve la Heaven. 1 want to read you another extract from that speech. in taking leave of the Demos cratic side (according to the gen' tieman’s metaphor),he said: Farewell! happy field*, where Jov forever dwell*!

Andke thus apostrophised his sulphurous abode: Hail, horror* I That is the Republican side, if the gentleman from Pennsylvania is correct — Hall, horrors! Hail, infernal world! And thon, profound#** Hell, reoeivethy now possessor! If the gentleman from Pennsylvania wants to impersonate Old Nick, tha f is his privilege. He can go to the protection inferno, more gruesome than that described by Dante, if be oho >ses, but he shall not take the Democratic party with him “The primrose path to the eternal bonfire” is proverbially broad and easy. Politically speaking, here are the directions tor reaching it: Walk through the big doors of the Hall of Representatives, down the main isle, turn to the right and there you are. . My Democratic friedfi from Pennsylvania had better qutk quoting Republican Bob Ingersoll, and Col. Ingersoll would be laying up treasures in Heaven by leaving off stealing the la guage and theology of the Father of Lies. The two local A. P. A. lodges which bolted the republican ticket at the last election and had their charters revoked because of their independent action have been taken back into the fold.
