It is said that Governor Durbin favors the establishment of a central purchasing board for the state institutions, separate boards now purchase the supplies for our institutions and no complaint has been made. If it is feared that one or more of these boards may at some time become corrupt what assurance would we have that a similar disaster might not overtake us iwith a central board? As it is not easy to reckon on the human Equation we shall probably best serve ourselves by refusing to entrust all our eggs to one basket.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the legislature which convenes Thursday will be celebrated in the history of the state for the sanity of what it does rather than for the amount of legislation it foists upon the people. Although there has been a strongly voiced and general demand for\a minimum of lawmaking, it is said that the usual deluge of bills will be poured upon the assembly. Fortunately the smothering power of the committees is great, so here's hoping that it will be liberally exercised.^ ^.'1..'
Possibly the anthracite miners would have retained conBiderablc of the sympathy they lost about Christmas time had they not taken a holiday lay-off of several days last week, their action radically increasing the distress of the coal famine a-nd adding materially to the suffering of the poor in the eastern cities. After a vacation of months last summer it might be reasonably supposed that the miners would have been satisfied with quitting work on Christmas Iday alone.
El wood man who lost his fortune at poker playing is now suing the successful gamblers for a return of the money. While the law recognizes the claim of the welcher, society does not and places a low estimate on the man who losing in a game at which he seeks to gaiu the money of others, whines in the courts for its return. Gambling is disreputable but there should be about it an honor which should stand even though rooted in dishonor.
Judging from the press dispatches the Kev. R. V. Hunter has lost nothing in i.lie Way of strenuksity of speech as the years have come'upbtt hini'.' While Mr. Hunber may not conform to the popular ideal of a pastor no one ever charged that he was prosy or uninteresting. Somnolence was never extensively practiced by his congregations in Terre Haute or elsewhere.
The world need scarcely be surprised that mobs rule in Sullivan county when even the courts there defy the state in sustaining lawlessness.' There is nothing which so threatens popular government as the contempt .of law and when judges upon the bench trample under foot tiie statutes they have sworn to uphold there is Hinall wonder that hoodlums feel licensed.
The price of coal is raised in Terre Haute not because the coal men have been making only a small profit, but because the people can't help themselves. If the buccaneers, who once made life interesting on the Spanish main, could now come to life in* this good day of Christian grace they would learn some new tricks in their old trade.
Governor Durbin has declared with considerable righteous indignation that he does not propose to stand for prize fights disguised as boxing matches and has served notice on certain gas belt towns that this iniquity must cease. The governor seems to have lost sight of the fact that Terre Haute is under his jurisdiction.
The almost daily apprehension of grave robbers in Indianapolis suggests the possibility of a speedily approaching demand for the enlargement of the Marion county jail. It should
have been at the start made conveniently large enough to ax:sj commodate the major portion of the population.

THE WIDE WORLDHOUND. asm
Another Jubilee.
The Vatican is preparing for another jubilee, beginning January 19, 1904, which will mark the half century of the Holy Father's cardinalate. Thus is is now the firm belief of Catholics in Rome that Leo XIII will live to celebrate all possible jubilees as priest, bishop, cardinal and pope, a circumstance without a parallel. Although it is estimated that this year's pilgrimage will not number more tjian 30,000, as against 80,000 during the Holy year, the financial results will be proportionately greater, because at the pope's wish few gifts have been given, money being more acceptable. In the Holy year the pope received 10,000,000 lire in personal contributions from pilgrims. This year the amount will probably not fall much behind this sum. The audiences in which every pilgrim brings his offering in a closed white envelope, are amoung the most characteristic. Spanish pilgrims are the most generous and enthusiastic. On one occasion, so great was the rush to get at the holy father and present their envelopes to him that they almost upset the Sedia Gestatoria, which was shaking ominously when the Swiss guards forced back the enthusiasts. It is a very curious circumstance that Irish pilgrimages, which are always notable for their generous offerings, never receive a single line of mention in any of the papers published under the auspiccs of the Vatican.
Making Egypt Fertile,
On a map of Egypt the fertile lands might be represented as a green ribbon, a mete fringe bordering upon *the river Nile. All the rest would be colored brown, the hot and rainless desert. The alluvial lands comprising an area of 10,500 square miles suppbrff a population ^nearly ten millions of people, more dense than that of any part of Europe. Three hundred and ninety thousand square miles ore a barren and unproductive waste, the abode of neither man or beast. Natural irrigation has been obtained by the inundation of the low lands at the time of high water in the river. During the season of agricultural activity the overflow of the Nile would be excluded from the farming lands by means of dykes and earthen dams. Primitive machinery of crude construction has also been employed for elevating the water from the stream by the use of buckets and by manual labor. The Assouan dam will impound waters, forming a reservoir 140 miles long, extending south towards the tropical sources of the Nile. With a suitable system of irrigating canals it i9 estimated that 2,500 square miles will be added to the productive area of the country, and that the value of the newly formed agricultural lands will be $100,000,000.
Two Russian War Ships.
Two large ships have lately been launched for the Russian navy, the first the Kniaz Suvaroy, a battleship of the Borodino type, which was laid down last year. She carries a battery of four twelve-inch guns in two turrets, and twelve sixinch guns in six turrets, these latter being so arranged that eight-inch guns will fire ahead or astern. She will be followed on the stocks by a battleship of a new and far more formidable type, the displacement of which is reported to be about 16,000 tons, and which will carry as her secondary armament the eight-inch quick firer. The Suvarov will form part of the Baltic fleet the other Russian ship launched, the Otcliavok, of the Black sea fleet. The Otchavok is a replica of the Bogatyr, whose fine qualifications have often been noticed. Though of only 6,000 tons displacement, she is to steam twenty-three knots, carries a battery more powerful than that of the British Hyacinth class, and has considerable armor protection in addition, heT funnels being cased with two-inch steel to the level of the upper deck, and eight of her six-inch guns mounted behind four-inch plate.
The Duty To a Name.
A man was asked to invest some money in an insurance compa'njr. He saw in the list of directors such names as Chauncey M. Depew, John Jacob Astor, Benjamin F. Tracy, Levi P. Morton. He invested $60,000. The insurance company is nov dead. He has lost his money and is suing the directors to recover it. Several prominent men have already paid him $2,000 each, realizing tha,t they were duped in allowing the use of their names. •.

'"If *'Sb-and-So" has investigated the enterprise it must be "all right," but the chances are that he has not. There have been cases where the name of a prominent man has been used without authority as a lure for others. Every business man owes it to the community to allow his name to be associated with nothing he has not thoroughly and personally examined.

•IX II
The Terre Haute city council held its first meeting for the year 1003 at the council chamber last night and all members were present except Councilman Einecke. IW session was remarkable for sweet harmony, and every measure offered, save two went through by a unanimous vote. Salaries were increased, in a measure which will add more than $4,000 to the city's expenses annually. After a long and determined fight, Fire Chief Daugherty's friends succeeded in getting his salary advanced. The firemen in the ranks were raised at a five per cent rate.
There was nothing much doing until appropriations were called for and then the real business of .the evening began. The start was made by reading a petition from the-board of public works, asking that their salaries be increased from $1,200 to $1,500 a year. This matter was referred to the committee on fees and salaries. After an ordinance was passed, allowing Fire Chief Daugherty 15160 for clerk hire from September 1, 1902 to January 1, 1903 The ordinance giving him a regular -increase in salary of $10 a month was introduced. The committee had reported favorably and after an explanation and short discussion, the measure was passed without a desenting voice for either its engrossment or passage. It was understood that a compromise had been agreed on by which the firemen should receive a raise, and the special ordinance was waiting.. When this ordinance was introduced Councilman Blood arose and moved that the police force be included in the order for an advance. The motion to amend met with no opposition and was passed. Then the ordinance as amended passed without opposition. The increase dates from September 1, of last year, and all the police and firemen will have an extra $10 bill in their envelope when they draw their next pay.
The salary of County Treasurer Clark for handling the city's money was fixed at $500 a year in accordance with the statutes, and a special ordinance appropriating the money was passed. There was a communication from Mr. Clark stating that the amount was not sufficient remuneration for the work, as he would be compelled to employ an extra man to attend to it and that the amount would not pay the salary. He reminded the council that before the transfer was made a treasurer and two deputies were required to attend to the work.
The matter of buying the park at Fourteenth and Main street was closed and a bond issue of $25,000 was ordered. The bonds are to bear 4 per cent, and redeemable in twenty years, though the city is to reserve the right to call them in at the end of ten years. The sale is to take place on January 24, and the bonds are to date from Jan. 26.
On motion of Councilman Briggs, the school board was instructed to make some inquiries regarding the establishment of an industrial school. It was argued that such an institution was badly needed in this city, and could be easily run in connection with the other schools. It was suggested that the sum of $25,000 be appropriated for this purpose.
When an appropriation ordinance was offered, appropriating $858 to pay for the Cherry
streek,
improvement, in front
of the. government building Councilman Briggs objected on the ground that the government should pay for improvement the same as other abutting property own ers. City Attorney Foley stated that he had made investigations and did not believe that the government would pay the amounts, that attempts had previously been made in other cities as well as in Terre Haute, and that all had been unsuccessful. The ordinance was held up until the next meeting and the city attorney was instructed to investigate the matter further. He said however he had gone the limit and did not have hope of getting the government to pay for the street improvement-
County Auditor Soules was allowed $100 for attending to the city's tax duplicates from September 1 to December 31, 1902. This is in accordance with the provisions of the city charter,
City Comptroller Frank Buckingham was instructed to prepare an ordinance appropriating ,$200 to be paid as the city's share toward the annual expense of the'Home for the Friendless, conducted by the Society of Organized Charity, the ordinance to be presented at the next meeting. «,
City Lacks Funds*
When the question of having additional lights in various parts of the city was brought up by Frey and Briggs, it was stated that a lack of fund.? would prevent the lights from being placed where they are so badly needed. Mayor Steeg suggested that the council pass on ordinance compelling the railroads to place lights at all crossings. Briggs replied by asking if it "would be enforced. Frey advocated having the city build an electric light plant of its own when the present contract wi^h the Terre Haute Electric company expires in about
two years.

FIRST STAGE0FCATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thousands Are Making
The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it pay be so slight as to not binder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly onehalf of the people have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he ehould at once begin the use of Parana

Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease.
Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 87 Bassett street, Albany, N. Y„ writes: I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liability to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through my entire system, which It would tj»*.e weeks to drive away. I am thankful say that since 1 have taken PERUNA I do not have any reason to dread tti4s anymore. If 1 have been at all exposed to the damp, wet or cold weather, 1 take a dose or two of PER.JNA, and it throws out any hint of sickness from my system."—'Miss Elizabeth Uber.
Mrs. M. J. Brink, No. 820 Michigan avenue, St. Joseph, Mich., writes: "This past winter during the wet and cold weather I caught a sudden and severe cold, which developed a catarrhal condition through my entire system, and so affected my general health that I was completely broken down, and became nervous and hysterical and unfit to supervise my home. My physician prescribed for me,but somehow his medicine did me no good. Reading of PERUNA I decided to try it. After I had taken but three kottles I found myself in fine health." —Mrs. M. J. Brink.
