Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and certain cure for Fever aud Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fover. Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, arc only premonitions ol severer symptoms which terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high lever and profuse perspiration.

It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic, and other poisonous minerals form the basis of most of the Fever and Ague Preparations," "Specifics," "Syrups," and Tonics," in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although tlicy are palatable, aud may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drag poison in the svstem, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, aud other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. AVEK'S AGUE CURE thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always euros the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate patient: and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to euro, is that it leaves the system as free from disease a3 before the attack.

For Liver Complaints,"AYER'S AGUE CUKE, by direct action on the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons which produce these complaints, and stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition.

Wo warrant it when taken according to directions. h»

Miss Phcebe Cousins, the well known advocate of female suffrage, wants to be appointed one of the five Utah commissioners.

The democratic members of congress are opposed to the admission of Dakota as a state because they fear it would be a republican gain^

This is abnr' the quietest campaign ever known in tL 3 history of the state. The only persons who seemingly take a deep interest in it are the candidates.

Louis Fiokbiner will be elected because he is a man who has had an extensive business experience, and has demonstrated to the taxpayere his ability to conduct their affairs in the most satisfactory manner.

The Chicago socialists are going to hold a mass meeting to sympathize with the Irish and denounce Minister Lowell. Heaven knows the Irish have enough to bear without this latest infliction upon them.

The Mormons want the Utah commissioners selected from persona outside the territory They seem to have a holy horror of the gentiles who resides among them, and who have suffered much at their hands.

In voting for the republican candidate for trustee the taxpayers of Harrison township know they are electing a man who will manage public affairs in a strictly business manner, and just as he would conduct his own.

Is there any sane man who believes the affairs of this township would be better managed under a democratic-trustee than they have been under Mr. Finkbiner? If not he should be elected by a large majority, and we firmly believe he will.

The population of France is decreasing. The censuB of 1880 places the population at 37,295,458, a gain since 1876 of only 389,670. Of this gain 337,000 is found in Paris, which city is' given a population of 2,747,000, againBt 1,888,748 in 1S76.

CHABITT ORGANIZATION SOCIBTY. The meeting to-night to form a society under the above title ia a movement which results from a long series of discussions and experiments. .It is not a hastily contrived society to introduce new and unnecessary machinery into our social life. Those who have thooght on the "subject and who have studied the problems of city life know that there are great dangers ahead of tw which are not met by alms-giving. This year will be one* of the mobt important in the history of Terre Haute. Several new and splendid charities will be for the first time given to the public, most of them the gifts of Mr.

Roee. The Polytechnic School, the Orphanage, the Dispensory will be added to tb£ magnificent legacies which are already enjoyed. The public library will also be opened to the city. Will this all result in good? Thst depends on the manner in which they are used. Many of our most careful citizens are discussing the question whether some of these gifts may not corrupt the poor and make many permanent pauper*. The experience of older cities has driven them, after most calamitous error?, to the very course which is now about to be inaugurated with the very beat prospects of success. Practical workers among the poor know that nothing so degrades a family as the habit* ual acceptance of alms whsther given by public or private charity. Temporary relief is a necessity and always will be. But when otca a man has endured the shock of asking for help and has leaned on the arm of another he has lost something of that fine tone of honor and independence which id so large an element in what we call manliness. When the actual statistics which are now being collected aro published, they wilJ reveal PO large a population of dependents that many will bestirred to look for improvement. It will be one of the first missions of this society to gather such information as will locate the pauperism of our county and city, and trace it to its causes.

Separate organizations, as churches, trustee and aid society working apart and independent of each other and without any common understanding, can never successfully grapple with the problem which poverty presents to this city. We are no longer a village. Crime of all grades can hide and haunt in obscure lairs even in a city of this size. Already there are whole families growing up to be permanent charges on the city. They have lost those impulses which spur men to manly work, and the children are growing up in the atmosphere of homes which do not feel the contact of higher natures with the lower. Under the present wsnt of system there is no proeptct that these nestaof vice and misery will b3 broken up. Innocent children are growing up in saloons and brothels with parents who will entail curses on their offspring. The society is not intended to interfere with church work, but to make it more effective. In all past years the pastors of this city have shown a disposition to work together for common humane purposes. It is not likely that they will act in any other manner now. Sectarianism is not likely in these churches, as in some places in the past, to stand in the way of a work which cannot meet its largest eucceB3 without common help. With such organization not a corner of the city, not a single dependent or vicious family will escape the influence and observation of the better classes of the community.

All who are sincere in their professions of desire to advance the cause of true temperance will not fail to discover in this movement one of great promise, for it suggests the hope that ieten^erance will be checked at its fountain, the vile home.

All who desire an economical and at the same lime useful distribution of money devoted from the public treasury for the poor must be interested in a so» ciety which in other places has reduced the poor rate, not by refusing needed help, but by Felting the poor to work themeelves. Thus every class is interested in this meeting where the aims and methods of the new system will be fully discufeed.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1882. The American Newspaper Directory, which will be issued next month by Geo. P. Eowell & Co., of New York, will contain the names of 10,611 periodicals in the United States and territories, which is a gain of 844 in the year just passed. The number of daily papers has increased in a somewhat larger proportion, and is now represented by a total of 996, against 921 in 1881. The largest increase has been in New York—10 dailies, 29 of all sorts. Illinois and Missouri show a percentage of gain which i9 even greater, while Colorado leads all others in the percentage of increase, both of daily and weekly issues.

California, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and West Virginia have fallen behind 1881 in the total number of periodicals issued. In Georgia, Maine and Massachusetts the suspensions have exactly counterbalanced the new ventures. In every Slate not mentioned above, and in the territories, there has been an increase.

An old lady named Leacock died in Buffalo, N. Y., the other tlay at the 8ge of 106 years. She was a native of Ireland,'and had ten children. Of these three died in infancy, one at the age of sixty-two, and the remainder survive ber —three brothers and three sisters. She had thirty-three grand children and twenty-eight great grand children. She never had a days' sickness, and never took a dose of medicine in her life.

Last year there were 252 fatal accidents on the streets of London, the largest num ber ever reported. Notwithstanding the magnitude of th6 figures it was only one in 19,000 inhabitants, and of the total number 146 were caused by vehicles of various descriptions, and thirteen by horse*.

A man who can cut down the poor ex penses of the township twenty-six per cent, per annum^without any complaint on the part of the needy, is too good an officer to be discharged, and this fact wll'

THE ELECTION.

The township elections will be held next Monday. All the toffnships in this county have fall republicsn tickets in the field. The "county has a-.fair republican majority, and it should be icaintained. To do this there must be no carelessness or negligence". The majorities should be made as strong as possible as a forerunner of the elections to follow this year. The nominations in all the townships are good ones. No republican need hesitate a moment to support his own ticket in full. Scratching should be .Louored in the breach instead of the observance. __ The candidates have been well chosen Chauncej^ ..and are entitled to the heartiest support of the whole party. In this townthip the tieket is headed by a man who has filled-the c-fSC9 to wbieh he again aspires with honor to himself and profit to the township. A. vote for Mr.

Finkbiaer is vote for economy and honest government. He has bien tried and found equal to the duties developing upon him, while his opponent would fly to duties he knows not of. Every man on the republican ticket is worthy his parly's support, and instead of -remaining at home and djing nothing, every republican should turn out- and perform his whole duty. A full vote will be a sweep ing victory for tba republicans not only htre but throughout the entire state.

Mr. Finkbiner'a knowledge of the German language haa been quite an advantage to him in discharging his duties as township trustee, as he frequently has to deal with Germans whose knowledge of English is very imperfect. His German training in thrift and economy have also had much to do with the successful manner in which be has conducted the affairs of hia office, enabling bim lo distinguish and discriminate between reckless waste and unavoidable misfortune.

At least §2,000,000,000 have been produced in the mining regions of this country since the discovery of gold in California. Much cf that aum was silver, in ttie production of which Colorado is expected to lead the world. In 1876 her mines produced $5,000,000, and in 1880 they produced $28,000,000, which far exceeded the production of any other state or territory.

Those who are acquainted wilh Lawrence Burgfet, the republicr.n candidate for township afsessor, know him to be honest and qualified. He is a worthy citizen who fought in defense of his country aB long as his services were required, and who now aaks his fellow citizens to elect bim to a small office. He should have a rousing majority.

Lafayette has a medical war growing out of the code of ethics. An neally as the Courier can make out it is proposed to deal with Dr. Vinnedge bocausc he recommended a physician who has had the temerity to put up a cough mixture and sell It with the formula written

English instead of Latin. The Courier thinks this is too too. Dr. Myers, of Hilleboro, accidentally shot a boy by the name of Rice on Monday. The boy was passing the Doctor's office, when the latter pointed what he supposed to be an unloaded pistol at the boy, and said: 'Lookout! I will shoot you." The pistol wont off, the ball passing through tbe boy's side, just beneath the lower rib, inflictiug a painful, though, it is thought, not dangerous wound.

Mr. Lowell's Smoky Joke-

New York Special. A London letter says: "Mr. Lowell, at the London banquet commemorating the Smoke Abatement Exhibition, made an amusing suggestion for improving the atmosphere in this city. He ssid that he remembered a.little story he heard of neighbor of his who invented something for increasing the draught of his chimney, which he put on to the flue of his breakfast-room, but he did not remain in the room while machine was being applied. He looked, however, through a crack in the door, and the first object he eaw was his revered mother-in-law, and then hia beloved wife mounting the flue, like witches on broomsticks, and then he saw the f&miiy oat drawn backward across the carpet, vainly clinging with her fore (Saws, and disputing every inch of ground when he turned and fled. He could not help thinking that if they were to build chimneys high enough, and put his neighbor's invention on top, it might have some effect on the smoke of Lendon."

Hew Pension Bill*

Washington Special. To obviate the palpable inequality and injustice from which a class of totally and permanently helpless pensioners are suffering under existing laws, the Senate Committee on Pensions reported a new bill to-day, and in its report the committee says: "A class of pensioners have been pensioned since July 16,1880, at the rate of $50 per month for total and permanent helplessness such as to require the regular personal aid and attention of another person. An act passed June 16,1880, increased the pension for such disability from $50 to $72 per month, but wss not prospective in its terms, applying only to those who were then enjoying a pension of $50 per month under act June 18,1874. Consequently the pensions since granted have been at $50 per month, while those granted prior to the act are increased to $72."

To obviate this difficulty the committee report and recommend the passage of a general act.

The Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin relatee the story of a Norwich town man and his dog. The dog has been a pet, but was old and it was deemed best to put him to a painless death. The family •oted in favor of chloroform. Tbe deadly liqnid was obtained and was applied to tbe animal's nose as he lay on tbe hearth late one evening. The dog quietly inhaled it and jeacefully parsed to a comatose state. The master, as he bore the limp form to tbe wood shed,remarked, "Poor Dick, I will bury him in the morning." In the morning he went to the shed to act the part of a grave digger, when the dog, with the Bponge still tied to his nose, welcomed his master with a ftmiliar bark, and appeared aa grateful as if he had been the recipient ot a favcr. It has been decided to let the dog die a natural death.
