The Northwest Indiana conference •which meets hore this week will be of unusual interest and will be largely attended.

The Indianapolis Herald of yeBterday contained transcripts of court cords showing that the father and mother of Aoirhjino Lincoln were legally married in Washington county, Ky., September 23d, 1900. The certificate of the clergyman, the Rev. Jessie Head, is among the documents given. This evidence sets at rest the little doubt as to the marriage of Lincoln's parents.

At the meeting of the executive committee of tiie Morton Monumental Association day before yesterday at In dianapolis, the report of the secretary showed that the statue is to cost $9,500 and that $G,000 of the amount liasal ready been paid to Franklin Simm ons the artist. It was ordered that the statue to be placed in Circle Park in Indianapol:s. This will be the first monument ever raised by the citizens of Indiana in memory of a distinguished citizen.

The Democratic party in Ohio is in a woeful condition. Hoadly, after the exposure of the manner in which he secured the nomination, alienated the Pendleton faction by an effort to strike a peace with McLean, following which he made a foolish declaration in a speech, saying he did not want the vote of any man who favored tlio temperance law, and is now sick and prostrated. The most sanguine Democrats have given up all hopes of carrying the state this fall.

This morning the Express carrier boys will deliver more newspapers to regular subscribers in the city than was ever the case before in the history of the paper. The bundles for the out-of-town agents will also contain more papers than at any previous time. In brief, the circulation of the Express is decidedly on the increase. It is boom ing. It is the largest, either for the city, or general, of any daily paper ever published in Terre Haute.

Queen Victoria's speech in proroguing parliament yesterday referred to the continuance of harmonious reflations with foreign powers and declared that the reorganization of Egypt although slightly retarded by the out break of cholera was progressing rap idly. She reasserts that the occupation of that country is only temporary. She has no doubt the communications with

France regarding occurrences at Madagascar will lead to a satisfactnry resuit. In closing the queen speaks of the improved condition of Ireland.

There is something indescribably funny in the? story started by the Idaho paper of the conspiracy to kid nap the president and the party accompanying liim on his visit to the Yellowstone Park. The description of the scene on the prairie when the ban dits swore by their daggers in the firelight to be true to their cause, reads like a story of the Italian brigands. A half million dollars is the ransom price fixed by the kidnappers, who. if they are wise in their day and generation, will also demand pavment from the Democratic party. "What a boon the stealing of a junketing president would be to the Democracy in next year's campaign. How the* "I told you so's" would enjoy themselves. And Dana, he would be in a heaven of ecstasy.

Down a little further, Michael Moses -. We want you to get on your knees and beg forgiveness for your many trans gressions, and while it is encouraging to see indications of a realizing sense of your depravity, we insist you shall drain the cup of remorse. It will be a sweet dose compared with those you have administered to others. There were many who said you were too oal lous .tP appreciate the contempt in -which you are held by an entire community. But you are not, are you?

You don't want people to think you kicked in two ribs of your divorced wife. It was only the buggy that injured her, of course. Michael Moses, keep on explaining. Just a word though, Michael Moses, before you go. Throw off a little of that brutal style. For instance in your card you say "she followed me to my buggy if she was hurt it was by her own careless act as I drove off." Now that is harsh and one is rather surprised it does not wind up with a string of oaths. Remember, the ]o woman's ribs are brola'n. No .ioni't you regret having, in* in..i:: ui exasperation, allowed the gang to use you and wish you were well out of the scrape. It is hard on you. But there are many hardships in this life. It was trying on loyal men to see traitors running away when their country called for help. You must humble yourself still more. We are glai to hear of your asking for opinions on

your conduct. Keep it up if you don't believe the Express is telling the truth about you and by and by it will begin to dawn on you just what soit of a man you are and you will be thanking instead of prosecuting us for sayiLg what we have said. Be on your guard against the gang, however, for they will had you into the depths of despair, fleece you and then laugh at you.

"Gideons' Army" the Subject of the Sabbath School Lesson for To-day.

i* 1 it hi

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Lesson fur August 26—Subject: Gideon's Army—Judges VII., 1-8.

This lesson is based upon an incident which happened two hundred years after the death of Joshua, the leader of Israel, and it shows that in two centuries this chosen people of God had become not only weak in their faith but also so weak in their physical and moral courage as to be no longer feared by the nomadic tribes in that country, and they were constantly being overrun and plundered of their cattle and the fruits of their labor. In these two centuries the children of Israel had five times forsaken God, and five times had they been delivered over to theii foes, to be afterward delivered therefrom by judges raised up by God for that purpose.

The last oppression was that of the Midianites. The Arabians, Amalekites and Midianites had made common cause against those whom they regarded as common prey and a common enemy, and, crossing the Jordan, had planted their encampments along the hillsides of Manassehand Ephraim. Year by year for seven years, as regularly as the harvests came and the cattle were fattened, these roving tribes swept down upon Canaan and robbed Israel of all they had, and the frightened Israelites, not daring to resist, fled to the mountain fastnesses and witnessed the despoiling of their homes. Israel prayed for deliverance, but still put their faith in the heathen god Baal, who never gave them help. There were a few who remained faithful to God, and for the sake of these the whole race was to be again delivered from their enemies, and for that purpose was raised up Glden to be the leader and judge of the people.

Until his appointment as leader Gideon was little known, except for once having defied the heathen god Baal by overthrowing tha idol. For that the people thought to punish him, but he told them that if their god had power he should avenge himself. He was afterward called Jerubbaal, which means "Let Baal plead." Gideon was a young man, but he had remained faithful to God, and he had the courage for a leader—two very good reasons why he should be chosen to judge and deliver his people. His left his threshirg floor in the cellar of the wine press and went forth to sound the alarm for the people. More than 30,000 men answered to his call for soldiers, and he started out to meet the great army of the Midianites, which numbered more than four times his own army.

Here is one of the strange things in this history. While the army was so small for so numerous a foe, it seems that it was too large for God's purpose, and he gave his leader orders to let any turn back that wished when in front of the foe. One-third of the 30,000 turned coward, and are glad of the permission to return to their homes. Then before going into battle another order is given, which reduces this number to a mere handful. They are commanded to march by a spring, and Gideon is told to take with him into battle only those who dip up the water with their hands and lap it. Only 300 men quench their thirst in this manner and the other 22,000 are sentto their homes. There have been numerous reasons assigned for this, but none of them are satisfactory, except that God wished to show the people that the victory was through him, and not by their own strength. One good reason might have been that a small band of only 300 brave qjen would make a better fight and conduct abetter strategic movement than 30,000 cowards, as the greater part of the Israelites had become. Gideon could not hope to win a victory by fighting upon equal terms with a force four times as large as his own. He must therefore resort to strategy, and for that he wanted cool, courageous and determined men—no rash bravadoes nor skulking cowards. vYith the 300 men chosen Gideon marched to the campof the Midianites, and at night surrounded it. He devided his men into three companies of 100 each, and these were to advance from difl'eient directions. In the warfare of that day the leaders carried torches and trumpets. But to each of his little army Gideon gave a torch and a trumpet. When they, therefore, came upon the camp of tneir enemies the 300 appeared as so many captains of companies, which they were supposed to be, in the darkness behind them, and the Midianites. confounded by the sudden attack of what appeared as a great army, failed to recognize their own men. and they slew each other, while Gideon's men saw their enemies and defeated and cut to pieces by themselves.

It was a great victory, and was won by strategy and the help of God. God gave them the courage and Gideon the wisdom to direct such a maneuver, and that saved Israel a fifth time from her enemies.

We see by this that the battle is not always given to the strong. And this is not the only illustration of this. Moses, the deliverer of Israel, was raised at the Egyptian court Paul sat at the feet of Gemaliel the greatest reformer of the church was educated a monk the most eloquent and effective temperance worker in America and Europe was picked up out of the gutter tlie emancipator of America was born in a slav^ state. The Crucified became the conquerer, and the instrument of death the symbol of religion. Truly, "the last shall be the first, and the first last," has been exemplified in the most important movements in the world's history.

FROM A WANDERER.

The Rev. Mr. J. K. Wheeler Writes tbe Express About the Late Strike.,

The Express is in receipt of a letter from the Rev. J. K. Wheeler, who is now at Austin, Minn., taking his vacation. He says he has been having a delightful time, and expects to return home, Saturday, September 1st, first visiting Et. Charles, 111. He says: "I am more and more in love with the city and with the good people of Terre Haute."

Mr. Wheeler encloses some comments on the late strike, to which the Express gladly gives space:

The telegraphers' strike is ended, and now comes the humilating request and urgent appeal to be reinstated, and the eager scramble for work again.

And now that this long strike of four weeks is over, are there any lessons to be learned by it?

Strikes are no longer strangers among us, but are constantly recurring all over the land in almost every department of organized labor. Let UB see now, what are some of the results of this, perhaps the most general or widely spread strike that has ever been made in this country.

First, it has been a great inconvenience, delay and loss to the public, because, for a time, messages were not received at all, and then, later, when received, could not be promptly dispatched because the working force was so very small.

If telegraphy be a commercial necessity, the general public have been not only greatly inconvenienced, but they have sustained a loss.

Second, The telegraph companies have sustained very great losses directly, because able to .do only a part of their businss. In New York the business of the| company fell off the first week 30 per cent the second week 15. Perhaps it would be safe to Bay that the general business of the telegraph companies has fallen oft 15 or 20 per cent, for the last Jour .weeks. Then, too, this great working force and the system of telegraphy has been disorganized, and new men, inexperienced, unacquainted with the diflerent departments of work, have been employed, and these will need instruction, and will require weeks and months of experience and practice before they can do as correctly and expeditiously the work done by the old operators. The telegraph companies have sustained, both directly and indirectly, a heavy loss.

Third, How about the strikers? Have they lost also? In four weeks in the city in Chicago alone, the brotherhood have estimated their loss at $30,000.

They have lost four weekB work. They have been to great expense in organizing the strike, and in the vain endeavor to keep it on its feet. These four weeks of idleness and excitement have been, in many cases, weeks of excess and indulgence. Money goes faster when a man is idle than when at work.

But still more, the Brotherhood are bound to support those thrown out or not reinstated because of the strike, and in this connection we are sorry to see, that of the women who were induced to join in the strike, very, very few are taken back, perhaps not one in twenty. Many homes have been deprived of tho necessities of life, and debts have been contracted which it will require months of economy and hard work to meet. The strike has proved a failure, and the strikers, after their loud boasts and threats, have been compelled to accept the terms of the telegraph companies, and with humiliation have come back, not as an organization, but as individuals, asking for the old place, to find that they are not wanted or needed or if reinstated, they are required to sign an agreement that they will not join any labor organization while in the employ of the company.

The failure of the strike has only intimidated the brotherhood, making it more dependent than ever it has emboldened the great telegraph monopoly—making it more independent, more exacting than ever.

The poor, helpless, defenceless, lamblike brotherhood have only laid barer their neck to the blood-craving beast.

The great strike has ended. The public have been heavy losers. The telegraph companies have been heavy losers. The strikers and dependent families have been heavy losers.

Labor and capital have pitted themselves against each other more deadly than ever. The breech between them has grown wider, the antagonism fiercer. The battle, when it comes again, must be sharper, bitterer, bloodier.

Labor and capital! One_ of the greatest questions confronting the American people. We Cannot answer it. Let us not sleep let us not think we can push it aside, or evade it it must be answered it is thundering louder and louder at our doors. Do not think the stike is an accident, that it is the result of some whim, some cunning plan, some devised scheme, simply to get more wages for less work.

The strike is not an accident. This trembling of the surface, points to something deeper, and he who will put his ear down can hear a subterraneam rumbling.

The strike is an effect, and the greed and grasp of avoriscious monopoly is one of the prime causes. Tho labor organization is the result of money combination,. Money is combining its strength, marshaling its forces, and the labor organization is an attempt of the weaker to resist the stronger.

We do not believe the strike is the road to victory, but remember this— the strike is not aggressive. It is making no attack. It is only resisting. The strike is def ensive. And so long as "Corners" in bread and meat and clothing and fuel can lift up their mighty defiant heads, opposing and disregarding the great lundamental law of supply and demand, and are deliberately plotting and planning to resist and overturn this fundamental commercial principle so long as monopolies— gigantic in their single strength—combine their giant powers and "pool" their profits, thus seeking to escape the fundamental principle of competition —but another expression of the law of supply and demand so long as Corners and Monopolies are disturbing commercial centers, so long we must expect surface agitation so long as Corners and Monopolies are scheming to undermine and overturn commercial foundations, so long expect the superstructure to tremble. God grant she may not totter and fall.

The strike While capital is lawless and defiant, labor will resist When money tyrannizes, labor will rebel.

Princess Louise has been thoughtful enough to telegraph, "What day should pictures be at Boston for exhibition?" She is very grateful for the warmth with which she was received during her visit there.

A VISIT TO MACON, OA.

Valuable Testimony Well Worth ReadIn*. Special Correspondence Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, nly id, 1883.

A representative of the Constitution spent a portion of last week in Macon, and was accidentally thrown with Mr. J. A. May, an employe of Schofield's extensive iron works, who startled your reporter by remarking to him: "I feel kindly towards everything and everybody that comes from Atlanta, because

I OWE MY LIFE

to'a'firm in your city, and will gladly give you a history of my case. "It was discovered," he said, "when I was three years old, that I had inherited from some of my ancestors a scrofulous blood poison of the worst type. As I grew older the disease continued to grow worse. I had tried in turn a score of the best and most noted physicians, and had taken medicine until it seemed a farce. Before I was twenty I had swallowed, it seems to me, two or three drug stores, and was a living proof that there was no virtue in medicine for my disease. The disease and medicine combined had taxed my system until I was a mere physical wreck. I was sallow, had no appetite, had lost flesh until I was nothing but sores, skin and bones. The sluggish blood which flowed slowly through my veins was full of poison, and was in such fearful condition that even a pin scratch would result in an ulcerated, running sore that would take weeks to heal. I had taken mercury until my joints were stiff, and I suffered so from

MERCURIAL RHEUMATISM

that I was laid up every winter and the mercury had soaked into the marrow of my bones until I was an infallible barometer, and could foretell to a certainty the approach of rain by the aching in my joints. Hearing of Swift's Specific, I determined to try it, but without any faith.

A SPEEDY AND EFFECTIVE CURE. I commenced improving with the first bottle, and in a short time the stiffness had left my joints and the sores had disappeared from my body. I passed througn last winter without a taint of rheumatism, and have had no appearance of the terrible disease since. My general health improved as Swift's Specific drove out the monster which

was eating my life away, and I gained in flesh until I weigh 150 pounds, which is nearly double what it was when I began the use of the Specific. For the first time in years I enjoy my food. As an evidence that Swift's Specific has eliminated all the poison from my system, I cut off one of my fingers a few months ago in the machine, and in less than two weeks it had healed up nicely and a few days ago I mashed my thumb with a hammer, and you can see it is healing up fast. If either of these accidents had happened a vear ago, the chances are that I would have lost my hand. In summing up, I will say that my experience proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Swift's Specific will cure the worst cases of Blood Poison, even when it descends as an inheritance that it will cure Mercurial Rheumatism, and drive the mercury out of the bones, joints and system and that it will build up the general health, and is the best medicine in the world. My case alone is enough to convince anybody but I have known it used in a number of cases, and it has never failed in a single instance."

Mr. May will take pleasure in answering any letters in regard to his case. Y. M. L. A.

HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall

ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigorously, and am convinced that but for the use of your preparation 1

should hare been

entirely bald." J. "W. Bo WEN, proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirtr, says AVEK'S HAIRVIGOB is a most excellent preparation for the hair. 1 speak of It from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes ic glossy and soft. The VIGOR is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not -within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction."

MA. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the celebrated Fairbairn Family" of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Haston, Mass., Feb. 6, 1880: Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which fleeting time procureth, I haTe used AYKR'S HAIR ViaoR, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness—a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact every one who lives in tho eyes of the public."

Mas. O. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 18 Elm St.. Charlesioten, Mass., April 14, 1682, says:

Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. OB using AYKR'S HAIR VIGOR the railing stopped and anew growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the VIOOB, bat now use it occasionally as a dreMlng."

We have hnndreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of AVEB'S HAIB VIGOB. It needs but a trial to convince the most skeptical of its value.

The costumes, all entirely new, were made in Paris, and beyond all comparison the finest ever imported to this country. The unparalleled number of Forty Tableau Floats will be in line, and will be larger and more imposing in construction than ever before known. Some conception of tbe amazing extent of the pageant may begleaned from the fact that upwards of thirteen hundred men, two hundred and thirty horses, six bands, and six hundred carried lights are required to place it upon the streets.
