THE Supreme Court handed down two popular decisions Saturday—the first in regard to making p&id-up building and loan stock taxable, and the second, upholding the action of the legislature against the Uoby racing association. There can now be but three race meetings there in a year. Not more than two• can be held in any period of 60 days, and one shall not last longer than fifteen days. This will break up the institution, as it cannot be made to pay unless it is xun lawlessly.

SATURDAY the Indiana Supreme Court decided that paid-up building and load stock was taxaMe. The decision is a good one. as it will place a large amount on the tax duplicate that heretofore has not borne its proper share of taxation. There will probably be $100,000 added in Hancock Co., and as the assessor can £go back several years and list stock that was not paid on, the amount will be swelled to still greater proportions. It is just and right that money which, as paid-up building and loan stock, has been paying a larger interest than any other invested money, should pay its fair share of the taxe3. Money paid in by borrowers weefely'is not subject to taxation. Building and loan organizations were originally intended to benefit poor people and to assist them in building a home. They have, however, in many cases been

CLEVELAND'S administration is not of the people. He is closely guarded at the White House and during his drives over Washington by government detectives. Last week as he went to Gray Cables he rode part of the way in a railway magnate's private car and the rest of the way in the yacht of E. C. Benedict, a Wail street broker. Secretary Lamont and a party of friends are touring the West in a couple of palace cars ostensibly to inspect forts. Secretary Herbert, of the Navy Herbert, has a number of friends and a fine government vessel steaming np and down the Atlantic coast. Carlisle is giving a series of lectures over the country, telling the people what Grover and England wants them to do. The other secretaries are putting in their time somewhat similarly to the above, while Uncle Sam foots the bills. "Jeffersonian Simplicity" is not in it with this administration and had best not be mentioned any more. The people, however, will bury the Cleveland administration, which has, in its tariff, foreign and financial policies, been so completely under the influence of England, so deep that it nor its like will not soon arise to harass and worry the American people.

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 Juntil about the first -of December when your special agent Mr. T. D. Cotton called on me and insisted that I give vour Liver and KidDey Cure a trial. I had taken in these many ^years everything I could hear of and received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cared of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms} of my trouble since. 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 say 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. -1 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 have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

There is more catarrh in this section of the ceuntry than Jail other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease jand perscribed^local remedies, and byj 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 Catarrh 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

Another Engagement in the Province of Santa Clara.

AN INSURGENT LEADER KILLED.

Several Others Meet a Like Fato in the Engagement and the Flight A Cuban Patriot in New York ATter High Explosives to Destroy the Spanish I'ovts.

itlra. Marti Arrives. HAV\NA, June 25.—An important engagement has taken place on the plantation of San Jose, near Placetas, province of Santa Clara. The insurgent leader, as alas, has been killed, and his body has been identified. The insurgents lost two more killed, had four wounded, and the troops captured 10 saddle horses.

It is reported from Remedios, province of Santa Clara, that the insurgent leader, Zayas, has been killed.

Seven insurgents have surrendered to the authorities at Plactas. The insurgent General Borrera has been killed during an engagement with the Spanish troops.

The report that Major Calnnja was wounded during the engagement recently fought at Altagraoia, near Puerto Principe, is confirmed.

La Discussion "and La Lucha (newspapers) are to be prosecuted by the government.

AFTER HIGH EXPLOSIVES.

Rifles and Gunpowder Too Tame For the Cuban War. NEW YORK, June 25.—The World says Lieutenant Jose Roderidguez, a distinguished engineer and Cuban patriot, is now in New York making a scientific investigation of the latest discoveries in the use of high explosives. He said to a reporter: "I am an expert chemist and electrical engineer from Puerto Principe. The object of my mission to America is to learn all that is new in explosives. "When I get perfected in every detail I shall return to Cuba and with a corps of competent engineers begin operations on the Spanish forts and cities. I need make no secret of this matter. The resources at our command are so terrible that we know pretty well what we can do. "We will begin with Havana and give the Spanish a few lessons, a finishing touch, I may say, in the art of modern warfare that will not only surprise those who escape destruction but Europe will be surprised. We find that rifles and revolvers and ordinary gunpowder are too tame for our enemies."

MRS. MARTI ARRIVES.

The Widow of the Cuban Revolutionary Leader Reaches New York. NEW YOKK, June 25.—Carniel Layas Bazau de Marti, the widow of Jose Marti, the Cuban revolutionary leader, arrived in New York yesterday on the stearuer City of Washington. She was accompanied by her son, Jose, 16 years old. Only six or seven of her American friends knew of her arrival.

Mrs. Marti applied for a passport for herself and son to leave Cuba. This was granted and she quietly left the island. As soon as she arrived here she went to the home of Enrique Trujillo, publisher of El Porvenir, where she will stay for some time. Mrs. Marti was too exhausted by her voyage to see any one, but she sent out word that her message to the Cubans in New York was one of good cheer.

Mrs. Marti has not made any plans for the future.

SHOT TWO SISTERS.

Horrible Crime in the Heart of the llaburii Couuty Mountains in Georgia. ATLANTA, June 25.—Lillie and Laura Moore, sisters, daughters of a farmer in the mountains of Raburn county, Ga., were killed Sunday by their cousin, Seymour Keener. Four years ago Keener fell in love with his cousin Lillie Moore. The girlrebuked Keener's advances. For two years he endeavored to pay her attentions, but finally she made him desist. Ever since he has been threatening her life.

Sunday afternoon the two sisters, now young ladies of 19 and 17 respectively, started from their home in the valley to visit a neighbor, who lives a few miles away. They drove past Keener's home going, and Keener saw them. Shortly after he loaded two pistols, took $200 which he had in the house, bade his sisters goodby and started off.

Half way between his home and that of the neighbor whom his cousins were Visiting Keener hid in some bushes by the mountain road. In the course of an hour the ladies approached, returning to their home. Keener rushed out on them with both revolvers drawn. Miss Laura, perceiving her sister's danger, rushed between her and Keener.

She pleaded for her sister's life, and throwing her arms about Lillie's body, declared that she would die befor Lillie should be harmed. Keener tried to tear Laura away, but failing in this, placed the muzzle of a pistol to the brave girl's head and shot her dead. Then he turned his weapon on the older sister, Lillie, and sent seven bullets into her body.

The firing attracted the attention of persons living near. They soon found the bodies and pursuit was quickly jmade. Keener was soon overtaken. His cartridges were exhausted, but he fought desperately with a knife, and cut James Dickerson seriously. Keener says that he shot Laura by accident. He is now in jail at Clayton, in the heart of the mountains of Raburn county.

A Guard Uses His Gun.

Within a few steps of the intersection of two of the busiest through fares in Chicago, if not in the entire country, is a store through the portal of which more people pass in the course of a day than enter into and depart from any other establishment of its size in the West. Men and women whose facts bear the stamp of intelligence and culture: women who lead in society, art, and letters men who are prominent it the professions: lawyers, physicians, artists, judges,• "and journalists. The exterior of the place gives immediate evidence of its character, which is that of a center of current news and information. It is the news and periodical depot of Charles MacDonald at 55 Washington street, who waites the following letter: ^CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 1S95—Messrs.

gan to feel at first a sort of languor and listlessness, to disguise which I was compelled to bring into play all the strength of will I could command. The feeling grew upon me, however, and in a short time it took such possession of me that it affected my appetite aud cuii-ed insomnia. I approached my meals with a feeling amounting almost to nausea, and my bed without horror at the re.-tless night that I was nearly certain was before me. It was only «by the strongest efforts that I was enabled to hide the chaDge from people who came into my place of business, but my intimate acquaintances were quicker to notice it. I had arrived at a point where 1 could no longer keep silent upon the subject, and speaking of it to one of my friends one day he suggested that I try Paine's celery compound. I purchased a bottle, and before I had taken a dozen doses I knew that the suggestion was a good one, for I felt an improvement. I continued to use it. and feel entirely restored. My appetite is good. I sleep well, and. instead of an irksome grind, my business has again become apleasure to me. You may put me down as a strng advocate of Paine's celery compound.

Yours respectfully, CHAS. MACDONALD.
