PLEASURE TRIPS,

Numerous Excursions the Coming Summer at Reasonable Kates. Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States or the ^Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the

Take region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond sS^the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost $^ps for railroad fare this year. There will be t|lf&low rates to Baltimore over the PennsylJJfSfevania Lines in May, account the Ameri-

#g|li?can

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirable opportunity to visit, the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will als be accorded Boston excursionists, enabliug them to visit Niagara Falls, Montreil, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by stea oer on Long Island Sound, after sight-se ing at Newport.

It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be priv1 ileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season 13 some weeks away, arrangements iu detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements than the 7liberal concessions in rates aud privileges that, maybe enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these

S lines, or by addressing F. VAN DUSEN, Chief Assistant Gen. Pass. A.gt., Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t.s tf

There is more catarrh in this section of the ceuntry than all other diseases put togethar, and until the last few years was supposed to be iBcurablu. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and perscribed local remedies, and jby constantly!{failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Hall's Catarih Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testinonials. Address

GALLAUDET, Ind., Marion Co., April 30, 1895. DEAR SIR:—I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war. At times unable to follow my vocation, that of a farmer. Last fall I was so bad with my old trouble that I became very weak which continued until about the first -of December when your special agent Mr. T. D. Cotton called on me and insisted that I give your Liver and Kidney Cure atrial. I had taken in these many years every thing I could hear of and received no beuefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms] of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bladder trouble of which I was also a sufferer and at present believe I am entirely cured. I can heartily recommend your Acme Kidney and Liver Cure to like sufferers. Yours Truly.

G. D. CUMMINS.

ACTON, Ind., Marion County, April 28th, 1895. S. A. D. BECKNER Greenfield, Ind.

Dear Sir: I want to s»y to you that I believe you have the best Kidney and Liver cure on earth. I was troubled for 16 years with Kidney and Liver disease, was unable to work a great deal of my time on account of chronic diarrhoea. I had tried several good physicians and could get no cure. About Jan. 19th, 1895, I was induced by your agent, Mr. T. D. Cotton to buy your Acme Kidney and Liver cure and after using the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I continued the use and find myself entirely cured. In fact havo had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

Captain Hernando, with 200 troops, after half an hour's firing, routed the band of Jose Maceo* in Rio tieeo. Hotly pursuing them he obliged them to retire to the mountains of Santa Cruz. The rebels left many wounded. A guerilla lieutenant, Blanco, was seriously wounded.

A suspicious 3-masted schooner has been observed near Cacunayagua, which went back to the high seas, having seen some troops on shore. It was undoubtedly one of the expeditions in aid of the insurgents.

It is rumored that a small expedition has effected a landing at Caibarien Keys.

Marine General Delgado Parejo lias arrived here from Spain and has assumed command of the naval forces. He will give severe instructions to the commanders of the warships.

Manuel Toledo with nine other persons raised a band of insurgents in Sancti Espiritus. In passing the overflowed river Seasa, three of them were drowned and the rest entered Camaguay. I11 Maguero they raised four bands.

At Ramon Salano 12 insurgents surprised the detachment of the civil guards and fired, killing one and wounding two.

Gabriel Forcade, Roderiguez Tirso, Enrique Junco and several neighbors in Guayara and Navajas are supposed to have raised a band of insurgents.

The guards on a farm at Lacueha have taken four horses, and the infantry and guerillas have gone in pursuit.

Many country families are emigrating to the city. Six rebels erf Zaya's band have surrendered at RTlnendion.

One lieutenant of volunteers and his two sons havo deserted to the insurgents at Velta Reniedion.

There has been an uprising by a small band at Calatazar and at Yaguajay, three men have joined the insurgents.

In Cienfuegos three persons havo been imprisoned, it being reported that they were going to raise a band of insurgents "svitli i-1 others and occupy the town. Correspondence and instruments taken serve to verify them.

TELL A DIFFERENT STORY.

Two Young Cubans of the Revolutionary Party Kcach the United States. FERNANDINA, Fla., June 18.—Gonzalo Albertini and Henry Masso, two young Cubans of the revolutionary party, have arrived here on their way to New York. They were landed somewhere 011 the east coast of Florida several days ago. Masso is a kinsman of the general of that name. Gomez, he says, has 3,000 armed men. One thousand of them are cavalry.

Masso had read reports of the American newspapers and was annoyed at the reports cabled from Havana. "If the Spaniards are going about conquering on all occasions, why is Campos asking for men?" he said. "The fact of the matter is the Cubans are gradually pushing their way westward, and win more engagements than they lose."

FIGHTING FOREST FIRES. The Town of Kunhcqua, PH., Threatened With Total Destruction.

BRADFORD, Pa., June 18.—A terrible forest fire is raging in the Kinsua valley. A telephone message from Mount Jewett stated that a special train h: just left that place for Kushequa with more than 100 men and all the hose that the town could spare.

About 400 men are throwing up embankments, and making every effort to. saving the town. The lire is advancing toward the village, and nothing, it seems, can be done to stop its progress.

Gaffney's chemical factory' is in the direct course of the great sea of flanles, and its destruction is almost inevitable.

The fire is reported to be the worst that has yet threatened the town.

Strike at a Salt Plant.

CLEVELAND, June 18.—Two hundred strikers at the United salt works went co the plant late Sunday night armed with clubs and compelled those at work to quit. The strikers demanded an increase in wages of 50 cents per day. One hundred and fifty men reported for duty yesterday morning, but the company decided not to attempt to start up at present. The works are now being guarded by the police, and any attempt to put new men to work will likely cause serious trouble.

FAYKTTK, MO., June 18.—There was a tremendous rainfall here yesterday, and as a result the creeks and rivers are out of their banks. Much damage was done by farming land being washed into the .streams. The rain was accompanied by a heavy wind, which caused additional damage by blowing wheat just ready for the cycle. Corn was also blown down, but will doubtless straighten up when the sun shines again. Last night's fall of rain was the heaviest 011 record iu this part of the state for years.
