Do You Want to Stop Tobacco? Yen Can Be Cubed While Using It. The habit of using tobacoo grows on a; man until grave diseased conditions are produced. Tobacco causes canterof the mouth and stomach; dyspepsia; loss of memory; nervou- affections; congestion of the retina, and wasting of tl e optic nerve, resulting in impairment of vision, even to the extent of blindness; dizziness, or vertigo; tobaoco asthma; nightly suffocation; dull pain in region of the heart, followed later by sharp pains, palpitation and weakened pulse, resulting in fatal heart disease. It also causes loss of vitality. QUIT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. To quit suddenly is to j severe a shock to the system, as tobacce—to an inveterate user, becomes a stimulant that his system continually craves. “BACO-OiJRO” is a scientific and reliable vegetable remedy, guaranteed to be perfectly harmless, and which has been in use for the last 23 years, having cured thousands of habitual tobaoco users—smokers, chewers, and snuff, aii'pers. You can use all the Tobacco you want, while taking “Baco-Curo,” it will notify you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to peimanently cureTany cas' with three boxes, or refund he money with 10 percent, interest. “Baco-Curo" is not a substitute, but a reliable and sci< ntific cure—which absolutely destroys the craving for tobaoco without the aid of wil, power, ahd with no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure ai d free from nicotine, as the day you toob your first chew or smoke.

The Business Man's Statement. LaFatetts, Im, May 2,1894. Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, ItuL: Gentlemen —lt is with pleasure that I can conscientiously eay a good word for LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. For more than a year I was troubled with indigestion and stomach disorders. Various remedies which I tried gave me no relief, until one day last summer I was told by a brother drummer of the virtues of LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. I concluded to try it, and am happy to say one box, costing only one dollar, entirely cured me. To those who suffer as I did I would strongly advise them to use LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS. Yours truly, John R. Spencer, State Agent Royal Baking Powder Company.

CLOSING SERVICES. In accordance with announce! ment the Presbyterian congregation of Rensselaer held its last service in the old church edifice Sunday evening, Jun * 30th, 1895. There w«s a good attendance, and after song sirvice, player,, readin g appropriate Soriptute lesson, the pastor announced that a historical rrview of the Church "d its progress during its ocCudancy of the old building, and announced Wm. B. Austin as the first on the list. Mr. Austin said: It has been said that railroads are' the forerunners of civilization. That this is true is undisputed, but speaking from the standpoint of a somewhat aged resident of this town I believe we would still have been in;heathen darkness bad we waited on railroads to enlighton us The ohurch, came here in 1847,the railroad tin 1877—T thirty years later. Like th_t of the Puritans nadPilgrimj/ of old, the history of the church at this place haj not been altogether roseate. Nine persons, headed by James VanRensselaer, —the father of the town formed the nuolens from whic has been evolved the ohurch society of to-day.— There were times when the church had apparent prosperi y, but on the other hand, for-long stretches of years- at one time from 1866 to 1883— not one rny of light came, 'i hat the organization did not entirely disband was due altogether to the efforts of a, few faithful ones inn, aintaining the Sunday school land in sowing seeds which in later years has ripened and been harvest d, and to-day|form the lulwark of the church at this place. Man is of a peculiar nature, he is not always satisfied with his lot. A minister of the Gospel is but a man, has a man’s wants and inclinations consequently if he is not paid for bis services 1 e cannot be expected to continue his employment . and hence it is that this straggling congregation In its early distorv had four pnstors in that many years, i The first minutes of the church society read as follows:

Rensselaer, Ind.,Feb. 20th, 1847. At a meeting of persons friendly to the organization of a Presbyterian Church in Jasper connty, Hev. E. W. Wright wan called to the chair. After prayer it was resolved to prooeed to constitute a church and Rev. Jesse Edwards and Z. Sheets, Elder, from the church at Monticello wete invited as a session to judge of the testimonials of membership. The following persons were eceived on certiti cate: James Vanßensselaer,|Snsan Vanßensselaer, Susan C. Weston, Ezra Wright, Martha Wright, Lucinda MahafHe Henry Barkley, Iri Allen, Lois B. Allen. Resolved that we new proceed to the election of two elders, and the vote being oounted Ezra Wright and Henry Barkley were deolared duly elected, and it was agreed that t e«e brethren be ordained on tome rrow at three o’clock p. m. i Resolved. That this Chnrch bo denominated the Presbyterian Chnrch of Ri ns-j selaer. Whereupon the meeting adjourned. EDWARD WRIGHT, Chairman, j Rev Edward Wright was a supply fcr| the new organization, which met when- j ever convenient, until 1848, when Rev. Thomas M Chestnut was duly installed as pastor, and continued as ’such until 1852. Mr. Chestnut was hefath rofonr good sisters and friends. Mrs. Fletcher Monmtt and Mrs. Sharp. The minutes of Jane 2d, 1850, are as follows: bession met and was opened with prayer, Rev. T. M. Chestnut, moderator.— Elders pre cot—Henry Barkley and Ezra Wright. The following persons were received on certificate from the Chnrch of Coal Cteek: John Coen, a rnling Elder, and Asaneth Coen his wife, as members of this Church.” The pioneers of our church, like the pilgrims of old, were very striri in discipline, and although the old-time Calvinigtic doctyine of election even in that (biy received manv assaults, yet the session stood manfully by the Confession and at one time declined to grant but a modified lettei ts dismissal to James J. Porter who to some extent questioned the strict Calvinistio interpretation (f this dootrine’of election.

A somewhat amusing inoident to older I members, was the church trial of Dr. Joshua Clark for alleged slandering of the Laiies Sewing So*isty. The trial commenced April 7th, 1852, and occupied about fifty pages of the minute book. It seems that Dr. Clark had taken exception to certain exercises whioh occurred at the Sewing Society whioh met at Col. Work's residence, on the farm now oocnpied b Mr. Win. Matheisen, and wrote and oiroulated a piper the substano# of which is as follows: "Whereas tbe present Sewing Society was principally gotten up for the purpose of procuring funds for the completion of the Presbyterian Church: And whereas. Certaiu gymnastio axer oises are to a certain and proper extent to be desired, and arc promoters of the health of the members; And, whereas, In the oonduot of tbe*e exercises certain Rtuall improprieties have of late orept out to the just scandal of the good name and fair fan eof said Society ; And, whereas, It is apprehended that unless these indiscretions are oorreoted soma of the strictest may be disposed to withdraw their connection aud support from us, whioh must materially hinder our success; Therefore, be it llesolvod, By the Ladies Hewing Society of Rensselaer, tbit hereafter, in t e exera sen of the meeting, there shall not bo more than one polka danoe of an evening, and in s<ich danoe no member shall raise her loot more than so high, etc.” The evidence shows t at a lady member had edified the Sooiety with a polka step a danoe whioh was then new, and had sung the song ‘Ben Bolt.’ The ev.denot does not show that Unole John Coen or a y ther gentleman indulged in the dance, but it is presumed that some one did. Rev. Thomas Whallonßwas pastor in 1855 to 1859, and ltev. H. A. Mayhewfront 1859 to 1866, then occurred one year pastorates of Revs L. D. Wells, J. B. Patterson, Wm. A Patton aud Mr. Goodsson. Then for a long period of seventeen years the churoh wns without a pastor nnd struggling for life. During this time came the trouble involving Cloero H. Tatmrn, Ezra Wright aud Gen. It. H. Milroy; and John Keller, Stephen Donaldson and Fletoher Monnett moved away. During this period the spiritual life aud corporate existence of this sooiety rested entirely on the two Miss Smiths and Elder John Coen. Within the memory of the speaker Mr. Coen has carried wood from his residence on the outskirts of town to warm tip churoh for Sunday School on cold Sunday mornings. As one of the younger generation I say, "All hail to theso spirits who, through the chaos actendant upon the olosi g of the war and other troubles, oarrjed our churoh ship through and 1 nded her safely in the harbor ”

Who will doubt that a charitable Jehovnh watched over the struggling congregation with a pitying glanoe! In 1883 Rev. Gilbort Small oame, and after him Rev. Aug. Taylor. And from then many students • amo to us from the McCormiok Seminary whioh terminated in ns installing Rev. M. L. Tressler as pastor in 1889. 'The ohurch began to buijff up in 1880, and is now on a fair footing spiritually aud financially.: plThls building was ereoUd in 1851-2 at a oost of SI2OO nnd was without inoident except that the ohurch was sued for the seats and judgment entered, which was ■pon paid. Thorn is to some extent a foeltng of buoyancy within rrs at the tKOnaffittrf-the we yll) rienoe many nanga-er rtgfet at "the thoT of ioaxlhg forever this house that has ■ffibtoct d during infancy, ohtlahood ml manhood. nqftre was the cradle of Presbyterianism in this county, Hore have been baptised as in t ants and adults representatives of almost every family in the town and surrounding country; and from this altar have b'-eu carried the remains of many of those who have goneao that undiscovered ooun■* try from whose bourne no traveler returns. It is meet that we should on this ouoasion dwell upon the past—for as past links us to present, so present links us to the future. We of the present generation can but return to those pioneers our heartfelt gratitude, and our hope is that we o-m in our fteble way carry forward in a worthy manner the work **VLhave begun. f l his old chu ch MSUpass fromQntsighL\ but not from our memory. T A Tit yjfttj J or some of the fondest and sweetest meuS ori s of childhood and youth are entwined with this Old building. The childish Sunday School Bongs, “Come to Jesus,’’ “Climbing Up Zion's Hill,” and many others, were first taught us w thin those walls. Tne Songs, the Sunday School, the Christmas entertainments, the festivals, tho harvest homes, the choir practices, the installations., 1 have engraven themselves upon my mind so that the lapse of years will not eradicate them, and 1 doubt not but many oan testify to the same experience.

hail to the old church; all hail to its bell and pulpit; and the fact that it is supplanted by a grander edifice does not detract one whit from om honor ana reverence for the old building. It is but one way which God has provided .hat His cause goes marching on that we sho tld pull down our old churoh and build a grander, larger one. We know not the ways of God; they are past finding out, but we believe that when Gabriel, with one foot on land and one on seu,s hall pioclaim that time is ne more, and t e Lord shall give due credit to the instruments undo use of by Him in making up His jewels, that the old Presbyterian Church of Rensselaer will have itK doe credit in the Lamb’s Book of Life/Z is reason for all this. All re(L gion, all science, all law, all wisdom of history, and al< noble present energies are centered upon the future, not upon the past. Pietv, patriotism, and progress are not so much concerned about the “From whence?” as with the 'Wbcreunto?' of the world, and the people thereof. and progress is a perpetual pioneer. On and upward btc her impel ative commands, and hare been from the lay man turned from the barred gates of Eden, until he shall come again redeemed and rejoioing through the wide open ; gates of the Eternal City. We welcome the naw churoh with open i arms; w<- will be proud o it, its modern seats, pulpit, windows, towers, conveniences, and its magnificent pipe organ | (for we doubt not we will hav- one). We ! willbe proud to show it to our friends as the offspring of the present generation, and it will prove a blessing to the town and county. I The above sketch does not bring the churoh up to date, but an effort will be made to have it more full and complete in time for placing witlr other matters of record in the corner stone of the new ! building.

Ihe remarks of Messrs. M. F. Chiloote and Fletcher Monnett were appropri ite and well received by the audienoe. After singing “Am I a Soldier of the Cross,” the benediction by the ; astor closed the last servioe. Presbyterian Sabbath school in the old ohurch building Sunday.

Coming to Their Senses.

■'-Jjfoting tne faot th-it Germany is exporting iron ores from the mines near Lake Champlain for use in the basioFprocess of manufacturing iron wares, because they contain great quantities of phosphorous, the Indianapolis Journal says: The Champlain ores cannot be produced as cheaply as the Lake Superior, but so cheaply, it appears, that they can command a foreign m rket, as reports indicate that there will be a very 1 *rge demand for that class of ores, both ou the continent and in England. While it may ot be the most sat* isfactory condition to furnish Europe with raw material, yet when it is considered that it is due to the fact that our supply is exhausLess, and can be produced cheaper than those nearer homo the situation is anyth np but discouraging. It indicates that the United States have the control of the iron trade of tin world if the matter \u wisely m»n-

NUMBER 26

aged. If American ores can be shipped to Europe and made into the finished product and then transported to the markets of the world, it seems that American iron and steel may be profitably manufactured and sold direot. The country which has an exhaustless supply of the best iron in the world will always be a potent factor in the world’s affairs. Tbis sounds strange, coming as it does from the chief organ ot protection iniindiana. It is strong proof of what the low tariff advocates claim, viz: that the United States should lead the world in ths production of iron wares and that a high tariff is jt no be efit whatever to the iron industry unless the iron manufacturers are satisfied to confine their output of goods to the home market exclusively The Journal should note, too, that notwithstanding the great tariff reductions made in the iron schedule under the Wilson tariff, the activity in the iron industry was never greater than now.

It is now given out that Germany will call a meeting of the great commercial powers to consider the question of an international agreement concerning the use of silver. If an agreement could be reached whereby all the gr at commercial nations should use both gold and silver at a fixed ratio in business transactions, the world would be greatly oouvenienoed, toKsay the least. If by agreement a certain quantity of ooined gold orfsilver oould be made t pass .current among all tho nations entering into such an agreement, trade between nations would be greatly stimulated and there would be no fluctuation in money values. The caused of international bimetallism is unquestionably growingand will continue to grow aB the trade relations between governments become closer. If another internat’oual oonferenoe is held next Oc* tober,. something tangible may /row out of it. Germany and Franco are favorable to the adoption of a bimetallic standard. Tne sentiment iu favor of an interna* tio ial agreement is growing in In England, and the advocates of free coinage of silver in the United States look hopefully to an international agreeme.it for a solution of the silver problem.

Bread Cooked in a Stovepipe.

Some cooks are making crusty bread In sections of stovepipe. These utensils are cut In the required length at the tinsmith’s and the edges turned over so tfce hands will not be Injured. The dough, made Into a loaf somewhat shorter than the pipe, Is placed In It From this apparently crude affair comes crusty bread of excellent quality, if the cook knows her business.— Hardware.

American Camels.

The herd of camels that ranges between the Gila and Colorado Rivers, in the plains below the Eagle Tall Mountains of Arizona, is said to bo Increasing rapidly. It numbers upward of 300, despite the fact that many are killed and sold to miners for beef, and others are captured for circus troupes. This herd now forms the main supply for the showmen.
