AN amendment to the pension laws, tacked oil to the appropriations bill bySenator Kawlev, ot' Connec'ricut, increases pension 5 to Sfi a month. All pensioners who are receiving less than $6, wiii nobe required to make a formal application for an increase- They will be paid on regular pay days by the exe cut ion of a newly prepared voucher seut out from the paying agencies. In time the old certificates n.ay be called in and stamped by the proper department showing the increase to $0. Arrears of pension will be paid back to March 2 in each case.

The subscription to the Christian church is coming on in fine style. About §0,000 have been subscribed. The committees raising the subscription are much encouraged of late, but they ask that all desiring to help the church come forward at once in a liberal manner.

FranK J. Murphy, who is here revising the list of R. L. Polk's Indiana State Directory, is much pleaded with Greenfield. This is the first revision since 1892, and Mr. Murphy says there have been fewer business changes iu Greenfield business firms than iu any town of its size in the State lie has visited. That speaks well for their commercial standing and business prosperity.

A large audience greeted Mr. J. C. Lewis and compauy at the indsor Theat re last night, and the quaint sayings and d.lings and the Yankee wit of "Si Plunkard" afforded no end of merriment. Unlike many of these character plays there is a distinct and well defined plot in "Si Plunkard,'-and the different parts being well taken the audience was well pleased.—New York Daily News.

A city minister says he thinks it no more right expect a mi Bister to preach a funeral sermon free of charge than it is to ask the un'ltrtiker to bury the deceased without pay, or to ask the newspapers to publish a half column resolution of respect without remuneration. A funeral sermon is the hardest piece of work many preachers have to do. It is much more difficulty than a marriage ceremony, for which he would receive anywhere from oO cents to $2o.

Si 1*1 iinkarri's Coming.

The great impersonator of Yankee character, J. C. Lewis, supported by a grand double company, is to appear at Masonic Hall, Friday March 29th. This attraction has no connection with the comedy known as "Si Perkins," and has no resemblance thereto, except in the country farmers' band parade. The play is one of the most realistic pictures of country life ever drawn. It has three acts which are brim full of funny situations and comic specialties. The company has a brass band and full orchestra, of which every member is a solo artist.

Prof. .1, W, Jay (Joes to Fortville. Prof. J. W. Jay and J. C. Beard, of McCordsville, were in the city Saturday, and made the REI'UIILICAN a pleasant call. Mr. Jay informed us that he had been offered and accepted the principalship of the public schools at Fortville for the coming school year. Mrs. Jay is also offered a position there which she will take. We congratulaty Fortville on securing such a live, active, progessive, energetic and successful principal as J. W. say. He is a magniflceut school teacher and a Christian gentleman whose influence for good in a community, both as a teacher aud a man of culture and refinement is very beneficial. He has been a power for good in and around McCordsville, and we are sorry that the citizens of McCordsville are to loae the services of Prof. Jay and wife, but their schools are in such excellent condition that they can no doubt secure a good man and their schools continue in their present splendid wo'rk.

SI Plunkard.

The performance of "Si Plunkard" at the opera house on Monday night drew a good house and gave the best of satisfaction. Mr. Lewis is certainly a successful manager and knows how to please the people. He carries a splendid band and their unique parade is very laughable

and a sure cure for the blues. There just enough plot iu the performance to interest the audience. while the specialties are the best and bring out the talent of the performers. The Jew, Old Si, and the Dutchman "caught on iu great shape" and were loudly applauded. Mrs. Lewis, as Dora, was charming, and her singing and dancing was clever. As a whole, the show is one that has something iu it to please everybody who enjoys a good laugh —Detroit (Mich.) Free Press.

STUAIII..

Died March 7, 1895, at the family residence, three miles southwest of Greenfield, Mrs. Nancy Strahl, aged 49 years, 9 months and 3 days. She was born in Illinois, June 4, 1845. Iier maiden name was Nancy Long, and was married to Brewer Strahl, Aug. 3, 1861. Thirteen children were born to them—eleven girls and two boys—five of whom preceded her to the better land. At the age of 14 she united with the Methodist church, and has demonstrated the sincerity of her early christian profession iu her daiiy walk and conversation, her interest in the promotion of all that is pure and good which advanced the cause of her Lord and His kingdom. Her christian virtues were strongly illustrated in her life in times of atlliction as well as in the seasons of-prosperity. She was sorely tried by the death of her beloved children, and long years of ill health, weeks of intense suffering, all of which she endured in a truly christian spirit. A week before her death she called her husband and children to her bedside and told them to be good, and that she was ready to die. We were impressed with the scene the evening she departed. Her husband and children sat around her bed with bowed heads. The golden sun just sinking streamed his mellow light thro' the curtains across her bed, and the deep silence that prevailed while the fleeting breath grew shorter and shorter, she peacefully passed through the pearly gate, which for her stood ajar. She leaves a husband, seven daughters, one son, an aged father, step-mother, four brothers, oue sister and many neighbors to mourn her death and feel their loss. We merely bow iu submission to our Heavenly Father's will, while we know that our loss is her great gain.

.1ACKSON.

Patience (Garris) Jackson, widow of Solomou Jackson late of Vernon township, was born in Iredell County, North Carolina, March 31, 1821, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Wilson, in Buck Creek township on Friday morning, March 8tli, 1895. Aged 73 years. 11 months, 8 days was buried by the side of her husband in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at McCordsville, Sunday March 10th, 1895. The funeral discourse was preached by Elder Wm. H. Curtis, of Maxwell, Ind. When twelve years of age she moved with her family to Rush County, ind., where in August of 1845 she was married to Solomon Jackson, and they immediately came to Hancock Co. and settled in Vernon township on the farm where they continued to reside until his death in Dec. 1876. She has since resided with her children. Eight children were born to them. Uriah 8., Martha E., wife of R. H. Murphy, Sarah E., wife of J. W. Murphy, Benj. F. William Jackson, Jesse S. Quitman, and Patia M., wife of R. H. Wilson. Benj. F. died in 1857 and Sarah E., died in 1882. The others are still living in Hancock Co., except William Jackson who lives in Coldwater, Kansas. When 18 years of age she uuited with the Old Sch .ol Baptists at Flat Rock church, in which faith she continued steadfast until death. She was a faithful wife, a loving and indulgent mother, a kind and obliging neighbor and a consistent christian. Her disease was heart trouble and dropsy and for more than three months she was unable to lie down except on two or three occasions for a few minutes at a time. Through all her long and painful sickness and buffering she was patient and kind. Her numerous^ friends and acquaintances assisted in every way possible to her comfort and relief. Their frequent visits and words of cheer were always appreciated by her and were a great source of pleasure to her in her last days. She lived for her family, her children and her friends. A better ex-

st &,7s it

ample of an unselfish life will rarely be seen. She has justly earned the rest which comes to all the faithful in Christ "Blessed are the dead that die iu the Lord."

Farmer C. .Lewis.

J. C. Lewis, one of the cleverest of comedians, assisted by a company of merit, presented the amusing Yankee drama, "Si Plunkard." to a fine audience in Sliawhan's Opera House last evening, and never was an audience more pleased. Mr. Lewis has surrounded himself with a good company. Sam C. Young, as the German comedian, is a whole team, and he was recalled after nearly every appearance. Mrs. Jeauette Lewis, Miss Rice and W. C. West all found favor with the a idience and were responsible for considerable merriment. As to the comedy itself, ther's just plot enough in itj|ffito biiog out the quaint drolleries of t'l.e Yankee peddler and his coterie of friends, likewise hio enemies. "Si Plunkard" scored a point and will ba greeted by hosts of friends should he return to Tifliu. —Tillin. O., Daily Advertiser, Nov. 8, 1894 Masonic Hull, Friday, March 29:h

St. Louis Wide Open Again. ST. Louis, March 25.—The Parklrarstian crusade against the St. Louis saloons inaugurated some time ago was openly disregarded yesterday, and saloons and barber shops were run wide open. A few test cases will be made by the Sunday Closing association, the results of which will largely influence the crusade.

omuuiii Bnvor is never toucned witn a brush for foar of scratching it. Fine French whiting is moistened with a little water, applied with a chamois rag, and a dry chamois rag is used for polishing. Thero are brushes with chamois tips almost as fine as camel's hair brushes to clean fluted and cut silver, and rough filigree silver is cleaned by applying whiting with a fine brush and rubbing with chamois skin.

How to Wash Dishes.

Dishes should bo arranged for washing and washed in the following order: Glass, silver, cups and saucers and finally plates and dishes. The rule is always to wash the cleanest first and to wash few at a time. Two pans should be used, one for washing and ono for rinsing, and tho water in both should bo changed as BOOH as it becomes cool or dirty. Plates should always bo thoroughly scraped before washing. Thero should be an abundance of towels, and dishcloths should always be washed out afterward in fresh water and boiled once a week and hung in tho sun whenever possible.

How to Make Nut Cake*

Tako 4 tablespoonfuls of flour, 4 tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, a tablespoonful of butter, an egg, a teacup of chopped nuts, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Grease and heat a long biscuit pau, mix all ingredients well and spread thinly on heated pan. It bakes in a few minutes. When done and while warm, run a knife through center of pan lengthwise, then crosswise in strips. Turn pau over, and when cool cakes should be quite crisp.

How to Feed Young Plants. Don't apply any fertilizer to jour plants until they begin to grow. They do not need any until they start into active growth. They are not in a proper oondifion to make good use of it. In fact, they often injuro a plant very much. As soon as growth sets in apply some good plant food, but be careful not to give too much of it at first. Increase tho supply as tho plant becomes itroug and able to assimilate it.
