It has been several months since I have used it for that purpose, and I know it is permanently cured. We use the ointment for burns sore hands and every thing that au Ointment might be used for, and always with the same re-

INDIANAPOLIS is investigating a number of her sewer aud street, contractors. The testimony of both contractors and workmen show that specifications and eontracts cut but little figure in the work. The chief object being to comiilete a job and secure its acceptance before the inspectors, councilmeii or Board of Public \Y orks caught on. That is uot alone the case at Indianapolis. Greenfield has been afflicted with some contractors of the same character. lu the matter of the lire cistern at the Water Works station, the bids for putting that in proper shape were $1450. Now If said work had been properly constructed such an outlay would not have been necessary. Last summer a contractor remarked that where a man made his money was in slighting a contract. We are glad to say said contractor does not live in Greenfield. What Greeufield should do is to see that all public work hereafter is done strictly according to plans and specifications, or no pay.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment, Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, actiug directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, aud giving the patient strength by building up the constitution aud assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. -Send for list of testimonials.

GREENFIELD, IND., June 26, 1894. I believe the Acme Ointment is a CURE for piles. I (know I have been afflicted with them for 25 years, at times severely, and 1 used about oue-half a box and I believe lam free from them in fact, I think I was well after the first weeks' application. The species was itching and protruding piles. I should be disappointed to hear of a single person failing to be benefited by its use. D. H. GOBLE,

I have tried everything advertised and recommended and all to no good. I will be safe in saying 1 have spent $50 for medicines for this one ailment. Your Acme Ointment is a sure cure for itching piles and I can heartily recommend it.

VOICES OF THE HUMAN HEART.

I felt the breath of the expiring year Puss in the moaning breeze, and to my eight Glistened each star, as 'twere a frozen tear

Upon the mute and lonesome fact of night. Time, in our breasts, that slumbers not nor sleeps,

Marks the faint murmur of eternity As ever round with rhythmic impulse 6weeps Sweet little eddy of the life to be.

We look, and, lol afar doth .stretch the deep With ebb and flow amid the storm and calm, Raisin? its thunderous praises to heaven's steep

Or chanting to the shore a lowly psalm, While in the ears that hear, from little hearts That shrink and swell as with imprisoned love, Steal o'er the silence of their inmost parts

The nearer echoes of a voice above. —Thomas Harkness in Chambers' Journal.

THE NUMBER THREE.

Some Curious Superstitions Regarding It In the Popular Mind.

Thoro is a superstitious regard for the number three in the popular mind, and the third repetition of anything is generally looked upon as a crisis. Thus an articlo may twice bo lost and recovered, but tho third time that it is lost it is gono for good. Twice a man may pass through some great danger in safety, but tho third time ho loses his life. If, however, the mystic third can be successfully passed, all is well. Threo was called by Pythagoras tho perfect number, and wo frequently find its use symbolical of Deity. Thus wo might mention the trident of Neptune, the threo forked lightning of Jove and threo headed dog of Pluto. The idea of trinity is not confined to Christianity, but occurs in soveral religions.

tho log}' also we find threo fates,

three furies and three graces, and, coming nearer to our own times, Shakespeare introduces his three witches. Iu public house signs throe seems to play an important part, for wo frequently meet with "Threo Cups," "ThreeJolly Sailors, "Three Bells, "Three Tuns, "Three Feathers"—in fact, the number of almost anything of which a fertilo imagination can conceive a trio. In nursery rhymes and tales this number is not unknown, and if wo look back to tho days of our childhood most of us will call to mind tho threo wiso men of Gotham who took a sea voyage in a bowl, not to mention tho three blind mice that had their tails cut off by the farmer's wife. Perhaps there is some occult power in the number which governs tho division of novels into threo volumes and induces doctors to order their medicino to be taken thrice daily. It is said that somo tribes of savages cannot count beyond three. But, although they may liavo no words to express higher numbers, perhaps wo should be scarcely justified in assuming that they aro incapable of appreciating the value of tho latter.—New York Advertiser.

in iitiio doubt that an immense

number of persons habitually sleep on tne left side, and thoso who do so can never, it is said, bo strictly healthy. It is the most prolific cause of nightmare, and also of tho unpleasant taste in tho mouth on arising in the morning. All food enters and leaves tho stomach on tho right side, and hence sleeping on tho leftside soon after eating involves a sort of pumping operation which is anything but conducive to sound roposo. The action of tho heart is also soriousiy interfered with and tho lungs unduly compressed. Hence it is best to cultivato the habit of always sleeping on tho right side, although Sandow and other strong men are said to invariably sleep on their backs.—Philadelphia Times.

EEVOTJES AND STATE DEBT.

Domestic Troubles—The Columbian Athletic Club—Coal Miners' Strike and the Use of Troops—Railroad Strike at Hammond—Pay of Troops—Winter Racing.

Public Schools and the State Educational Institutions—Penal and Benevolent Institutions—Prison Reform

Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives: Once again you are assembled, the chosen representatives of an intelligent and progressive people, to consider measures which concern and may promote the general welfare of the people, and-enact such laws as may advance the interests of your state.

I trust you may realize to the fullest extent the grave responsibilities which rest upon you. Our legislatures have done much in recent years to place Indiana in the front rank of states in adoption of great reform measures, by keeping step with the advancing march of a more perfect civilization, and meeting the increasing demands of a people growing rapidly in wealth, in general prosperity and enlightenment. It is to be hoped that the work of the fiftyninth general assembly may not fall short of those that have passed.

It becomes my duty under the constitution to give you such information touching the condition of the state, and recommend such measures as shall be judged to be expedient.

Of the financial condition of the state —the management of its public institutions, and of the several state offices during the past two years, it will not bo expected that I should in this paper go into fullest details, and I would, therefore, refer you for this more extended information to the several reports which will be submitted to you.

Finances.

It affords me unqualified satisfaction to announce that the finances of the state are in a sound and healthy condition. Notwithstanding the fact that the last general jvssembly reduced the levy 2l£ cents, a greater revenue was dorived than under the old levy. This was largely due to the assessment of property under the tax law of 1891. I am of the opinion that a still further reduction can be safely made—at least of 2 cents in the school tax levy. The state institutions have been generously provided for under their judicious and economical management there has not been the annual deficit. It has not been necessary to borrow money to meet the annual interest upon the state debt but, on the other hand, during the past two years, demands upon the treasury have been promptly honored, interest met, and the sum of §1)10,000 already paid upon the state debt, and the further sum of §•400,000 called in and will be cancelled, in a few days, making a total paid on the state debt of $1,310,000.

In the creation of a state debt sinking fund by a 3-cent levy, means have been provided for the sure and gradual extinction of the state debt. The sum produced by this levy of 3 cents, together with what may reasonably be expected to be available from the general fund, unless there should be a heavier I reduction in the reassessment of propertv in 189.1 than is probable, will annually reduce the debt nearly, if not I quite §500,000. As this debt was, in a great measure, incurred for purposes from which those coming after us will derive au equal benefit, it is but just that they should assist in liquidating it.

Therefore, I do not recommend au inI crease in the levy for the sinking fund, but it should remain at its present rate. 1 Iu a tabulated statement the governor shows the total foreign and domestic debt to be $7,920,(515.12, less $400,000 to be paid on the 14th inst, and says the annual interest charges are $257,725.

He points out also that $1,485,000 of the debt wrill become due this year, and on this he adds:

I would recommend that you provide for the refunding of this debt, and that it be for the extension of the option to a longer period than is now permitted, believing that a lower rate of interest may be secured. This extension of time can well be granted, for the amounts upon which options are enforceable, and the debt maturing in 189G, 1897 and 1899 will be as much if not more than can bo cared for without unduly increasing the sinking fund levy for several years to come.

Domestic Troubles.

I It is with sincere regret that I have to I report that during my two years of administration our state has not been free from domestic troubles, through attempts by organized bodies of men from an adjoining state to openly and defiantly violate our laws. At several times and places the public peace has been seriously threatened by bodies of men attempting to correct real or fancied wrongs, independent of the peaceful means provided by law, aud in defiance of constituted authority. This, to such an extent, that it became necessary for the state to exercise its power in quelling these disturbances.

Columbian Athletic Club.

Since the last adjournment of the general assembly, and claiming the right un-vdr the act of March 3, 1893, the Columbian Athletic Club was organized. A large building or amphitheater capable of seating several thousand spectators was expected by this club in Lake county, near the town of Roby, and began operation by advertising what, although thinly disguised, were known or currently believed to be prizefights. Not being of the opinion that the act of March 3, 1893, under which the Columbian Athletic club was incorporated, authorized that association to conduct prizefights at Roby, or at any other place in the state, and that this act did not repeal the law wliioh makes prizefighting a criminal offense, I immediately entered into correspondence with the authorities of Lake county, seeking to devise some means to prevent or suppress those meetings. Several exhibitions were given in the building of this club which clearly revealed the purpose of the association and the character of its sport.

The authorities of Lake county seemed to be powerless to prevent the operations of the club, and I, therefore, caused a suit to be commenced in tho Lake. Circuit jcourt for an injunction and for the appcjintm«ut of a receiver. A receiver

was appointed,

order

appeal was At once taken to the supreme court, where the case still remains undecided. Owing to the vast

crowds,

from fLvfi to eight thousand gathering on the grounds of this club, largely of a rough and

desperate character, and on

account of the construction of the building, so arranged that it was difficult and dangerous to obtain access to the center or ring, for the purpose of making arrests, and the large number of employes of the association guarding the entrance, the authorities felt powerless to contend or make an arrest. I, therefore, on the 4th day of September, 1893, a contest being advertised for that evening, dispatched Adjutant General Bobbins with 13 companies from the Second, Third and Fourth regiments of the Indiana Legion to put the receiver in possession of the property, and make arrests of the principals, the seconds, aiders and abbettors of the prizefights, and as many of the spectators as possible. The association, becoming advised of the presence of the state troops in the vicinity, declared the meeting off, and no arrests could be made and the receiver was peaceably installed.

This has ended "the prizefighting at Roby up to this date, and the property of the club abandoned. Indictments were found in the Lake circuit court against some of the participants in previous contests trial was had, resulting in the conviction of one wTho is now a fugitive from justice. The expense incurred in sending the state troops to the scene of trouble was paid out of the military contingent fund, ^allotted to the governor of $2,000 per annum, consuming nearly all of this fund for the years 1893 and 1894.

I would here earnestly urge upon you the importance of enacting a more stringent law upon prizefighting, making it a felony to those who may participate, aither as principals or seconds. It should also be more clearly defined as what may be considered prizefighting, and what exhibition contests in places of amusement. The advertisement of a prizefight should be made unlawful and punishable with fine.

Coal Miners' Strike.

During the spring of 1894 the coal miners of the state were idle during the pendancy of a disagreement between operators and miners as to wages for mining coal. The strike in the coal fields was extensive throughout the country, as well as iu Indiana, and of long duration. This caused no little suffering to the miners and their families, and in many cases actual want. This suffering and enforced idleness was bravely and patiently endured, awaiting a peaceable settlement of differences, arousing widespread symathy for their distress, for the great majority of the minors of the state are an intelligent and law-abiding class of citizens. However, some of the more restless and hotheaded, growing impatient in the delay of reaching an agreement as to scale of wages to be paid, began to commit depredations, destroying property, endangering life, and interfering with the conduct of bn.-uno.ss by other citizens of the state. Such violations of law could not be countenanced, and the local authorities were unable to cope with lawlessness indulged in.

In consequence of this, June 1, 1894, I was notified by the proper officials of Daviess county, that a large body of men had collected at Caunelsburg, in that county, and were violently obstructing the passage of trains, destroying property, defying the authority of the sheriff and refusing to be served with any notice, writ of order of the courts. I ordered Adjutant General Robbins, with nine companies of the Indiana legion, to the seat of trouble. On his arrival the mob violations of law had ceased and the crowd had dispersed. Tho troops remained in camp there several days, patroling the country and aiding the civil authorities in making arrests. The main body of troops were withdrawn in a short time, leaving a small detachment in command of Major Rockwood, who, after three days, having restored peace aud quiet, withdrew the remainder of the troops, leaving matters in the hands of the local authorities.

In the meantime, similar disturbances, but of a more serious nature, arose in Sullivan county. To this point I ordered six companies of the First regiment, under command of Brigadier General McKee, several of the companies withdrawn from Daviess county afterward joining his forces, as it became evident from the number of points affected, and the extent of the country to be covered, it became necessary for a considerable division of his forces. It became necessary for the troops to remain this field for 20 days before order was fully restored. Neither in Sullivan nor in Daviess counties did a collision occur between the troops and the citizens. Tho presence of the militia, through the firmness of the officers and the soldierly bearing of the men, being sufficient to accomplish the purpose. At no time was there any serious outbreak, yet all the time there was imminent danger, and only avoided by the presence of the troops. The large force of armed soldiers deterred an attack, which a smaller number might have invited, leading to possibly serious loss of life. I deemed it wise to send a large, effective force, believing the state could better afford to bear the slight additional cost rather that he sacrifice of lives.

The governor then reviews the use of troops during the Pullman strike, relating the incidents thereof, and says of the expense thereof: The total expense incurred, $."2,807.00 payrolls (per diem of soldiers), $41,917.-19 railway transportation, $5,547.08 subsistence, telegraph, express, camp and minor expenses, $5,341.83 total $52,807.00. Of this amount I have caused to be paid out of the regular military fund, $5,341.83, leaving an unpaid balance of $47,405.17, to which should be added interest upon money borrowed with which to pay troops. The sum as stilted paid out of the regular fund, was with the belief that as no annual camp of instruction was held, it would be proper, as the cost of subsistence of such camp would probably have amounted to this sum. Vouchers, certified bills and payrolls are on file in the adjutant general's ^office, to which I invite your attention. V,'

Paying tho Troops.

There was no fund upon which I could draw for the payment of the troops, for their active service in the field.

The Indiana legion promptly responded to the call to duty and rendered cheerful, obedient, effective service. Many of them rendering service at great personal sacrifice, leaving their occupations and employments, wages or salaries stopped, while in the service of the (statu, and could illy afford to wait the ent niiti: o. 3.a page.
