ervices at the Presbyterian •jhur h next Sunday. Rev. C. D. Jeffr es, pastor. A cordial invita ion xte ded to al! There is no t etter county fair in Indiana than that of Tippeca noe. The oflieials report that exhibits ia the various deparmonts will be exceptionally complete. Come to think of it, didn’t Bill McKinley make the wheat grow with his little tariff? The late rain'lias prac'ically saved the corn crop in many places in Indiana. McKinley and Ding-, ley Bill are “great fellers.” The late upward tendency of wheat may help many farmers, but it helped thepreat flour trust vast lv more. Pillsbury and otheis increased their profits many mil > lions.

McKinley signs the Dir-gley bil and there follows a shortage in the wheat yield in Europe, a big sur plus here, and the price goes up, bring.ng prosperity to Pillsbury, Leiter and other Board of - Trade men A wonderful fellow is Mo’ Kinley!

With appropriations amounting to more than $500,000,000 a year it does not seem probable that the Dingley law will vield the Gov eminent any surplus, in sac. the the surplus will counton the wrong side. We shall either have to spend less or submit to more taxes, created by a different method than that now on. Prohibitory and high duties -do not usually stimulate importations and increase revenues.

Wheat reached the dollar mark the other day on the boards of trade, boomed up by advices from Europe. If it sho'd take no downward drop, it will be a good thing for farmers having plenty of wheat to dispose of. But to the many, whose wages have not increased, and ths thousands who have no steady employment, the increased cost of bread,and the increrjed cost of other necessaries, caused by the tariff, it will be a serious, very rious embarrassment, A trained kitten, belonging to a Portland family greets the carrier every morning and carries the paper in to the family .—Boston Her aid.

Mysterious Submarine Current*. Little Shuswap lake la stated te *wre a flat bottom, with a depth varytag from fifty-eight to seventy-four fewt, measured from the mean high water Boarfc. The deepest water found In the Great Shuswap was 555 feet, about etx miles northward from Olnnemouswn •arrows, In Seymour arm, though the Whole lake is notably deep. Adarnfti lake, however, exceeds either *t the Bburwapa, ae its average depth for twenty miles Is upward of 1,100 feet, and at one point a depth of 1,600 feet was recorded. In the northwest corner at this lake, at a depth of 1,118 feet, the purpose of the scientific explorers wes defeated by the presence of mysterious currents, which played with the sounding line Ufee some giant fish, and prevented any measurement being taken. It la a complete mystery how the currents could have been created at this depth, and acientlflv curiosity will ns doubt Impel either public or private enterprise to send a second expedition to the scene this summer to endeavor to solve the riddle. As the height of the surface of this lake Is 1,880 feet above the sea level. Its present bed, therefore, Is only l®o feet above the see, although <Msta> 800 miles from the nearest part of the ocean. Dr. Dawson and his associates believe that the beds of some of the mountain lakes In the region are many feet lower than ths sea isvsL—VaneouYea JJ’orid. « I s— ■ -■ Farm Loans.
