AKTEJI denouncing U. S. bonds and those who issued them for 20 or oO years, it is amusing to see the Kentucky Democrats indorse a bond issue of £162,000,000 in a time of profound peace and the Cleveland-Morgau-Belmout Rothchilds bond syndicate.

ILLINOIS is the first State to adopt the Torrens system of land transfers, under which the chauge of ownership in real estate can he be made as readily as in stock certificates. Any person may present his abstract and other evidence of title to the recorder and obtain a certificate of ownership, a duplicate thereof being placed on record: and at. each jsubsequant sale the existing certificate will be surrendered and another one issued to the new owner. It is optional with the counties to adopt the system, and also with individuals to bring their land within its operation.

GOVERNOR CLAUDE MATTHEWS, of Indiaua, is now in New York with his family. Ostensibly he is on a pleasure trip, but has a weather eve out for his presidential boom, which was sprung recently. Just now it looks like he is the coming man in the Democratic party. If.the tendencies do not change by next year the presidential candidates will be Benjamin Harrison for the Republicans and Claude Matthews for the Democrats. It would be a big card tor Indiana, as she would then have another president sure. Unless there is a political revolution, though, in the next 10 months Harrison would win hands down.

THE grain gamblers of Chicago are now running the price of wheat down. A few weeks ago reports were sent out claiming that there was no old wheat in the country and that this year's crop was almost a total failure. The price rose rapidly and thousands of suckers through the country bought July wheat at high prices and are stili holding it. Now the gamblers have another purpose in view. They desire that wheat sell lower and they are announcing that winter wheat will make an average crop and that the spring wheat is unusually good. This has made prices lower and the Chicago speculators are reaping a harvest. Cannot laws be passed whereby people could not be robbed in thi& wholesales manner? It won't do to say the country peopl«» ought not to invest in margins. They will do it. One might excuse hovse stealing on the grounds that every man who did not lock h's bar a aad then keep

There is more catarrh in this section of the country 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 by) constantly'.{failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti6utional 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 ^ircnlars and testinonials. Address

A WELL at Stamford, Conn., from which a milkman used water, is responsible for 500 cases of typhoid fever, from which 24 deaths resulted. The typhoid season of the year is again approaching and every precaution should be taken to guard against it. In a majority of the cases the disease is caused by contaminated water, and such being the case it can be largely prevented. Let Greenfield's Board of Health be especially vigilant to see that our city is in the best possible sanitary condition. Some people and some papers are in the habit of ridiculing and attempting to belittle the proper efforts of our City Board of Health to bring about better sanitation. Such a course is detrimental to the best interests of our city. The Board of Health should be assisted and encouraged in the good work of makiug our city healthier and a more desirable place in which to live. It is good now, in fact, far outranking the majority of cities in the State, but it can be made better, as no one ever heard of a city becoming too healthy. Let every one look after their own premises very carefully.

GALLAUDET, Ind., Marion Co., April 30, 1895. DEAR SIB:—I have been a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea ever since the war. At times unable to follow my vocation, that of a farmer. La3t 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 your Liver and Kidney Cure a trial. I had taken in these many years every thing I could hear of and received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I found myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms] ot' mj* 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.

ACTON. Ind., Marion County, April 28 th, 1805. S. A. D. BECKNEI: Greenfield,.Ind.

Dear Sir: I want to say to you that I believe you have the best Kidney and Liver cure on earcli. I was troubled for 10 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. Iu fact have had no trouble since taking the first bottle. This is for the benefit of suffering humanity. with great respect,

SAN FRANCISCO FIRE

Over a Million Dollars' Worth of Property Destroyed.

SCORES OF BUILDINGS BURNED.

Over a Hundred Families Rendered Homeleas, Losing AH Their Possessions—One Woman Burned to Heath—Six Iirave

Firemen Killed at aFire in Minneapolis.

Several Others Badly Injured. SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.—The most disastrous fire iu many years broke out here about 6 o'clock yesterday evening in a box factory at the corner of Fifth and Bryant streets. A strong south wind was blowing and the flames spread rapidly.

The entire fire department was immediately called out, and for four hours the firemen had such a battle with lire as seldom falls to their lot. They could no nothing to stop the progress of the conflagration, and only timely change in the wind, which swept the flames back over the burned district, saved the entire district south of Market street from destruction.

Although many scores of buildings were burned the monetary loss was not large, as the tire was kept away from the richly stored warehouses in the district, and only cheap frame structures, occupied by poor laboring people and small manufacturers, were damaged. The loss will probably be over $1,000,000, with very little insurance, as the insurance companies have long avoided taking risks in that section.

During the first two hours of the fire there was not much excitement in the city, but when it grew dark and the sky became a mass of flames, the people from all parts of the city rushed to the scene. The police could do nothing with the mob which swept through the fire lines and the only impression made was when an engine came tearing along the street when the mass of humanity would part, lighting and struggling to get out of the way.

Among tho residents of the fire district there was a panic. Hundreds of families tried to save their property, and in many instances had to be diiven away by the firemen. Laclimau & Company's huge winery was one of the buildings that stopped the progress of the fire, and when it was seen that even that brick structure was on fire, a groan went up from the crowd. Tho flames caught at one corner of the building and crept gradually along, The liremen deserted, everything else and concentrated their efforts on this building. If that went nothing could save the railroad yards and freigthouses. Finally the wind changed and that, with the efforts of the firemen, saved the wine cellars, and tho worst of the fight was over. it was the worst fire scare that San Francisco has had in many a day, and the most alarming reports of the progress and magnitude of the lire were current throughout the city. As it was, the flames wiped out one entire fcible is square and made holes in surrounding jj0ie ju blocks. Probably 100 poor families have been made homeless, besides losing all their possessions. Another hundred or more of small manufacturing establishments, such as the furniture factory, machine shops, etc., have been destroyed.

One fatality has been reported—Miss Gilroy was covered with burning oil and perished.

Mucii annoyance was experienced from the trolley wires. The intense heat warped tiio iron posts and the wires wore dropped to the ground. The firemen were afraid to go near them and the crowd gave them a wide berth.

At midnight the fire was still burning, but the danger was over and tho crowd went home.

Following is a partial list of ihe losses: Belmont hotel, !j7,000 Belmont boiler works. .$5,000 Pacific iron works, §15,000 San Juan Lumber coinpanj*, $io,000 Calatornia Casting company, p:5,000 Stanford House, $1,000 Eulor furniture factory. $8,000 Snyder & Kolily, $5,000: Kualer machine shop, $5,000 Fuller furniture fiictory and The San Francisco box factory, §15,000 Scott & Van Arsdale lumberyards, 000 St. Rose church, $20,00u".

Other losses in small amounts are divided among hundreds of small manufacturing shops, stores and tenement houses.

FATAL FIRE IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Six Firemen Killed and Several Others Seriously Injured.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 28.—The most disastrous fire which ever visited Minneapolis accomplished its work of destruction and death last night. Within an hour after the alarm rang in at 11 o'clock, six firemen paid the penalty of death for their faithfulness in trying to save the property of others. The dead are:

Joseph Hay, truck No. 2, Walter Richardson, hose No. 0. Frank Ruhune, lieutenant of hose company No. G.

John Horner, truck No. J. Bert Thomas, hose No. 10, died on the wav to the hospital.

Ijnideiitilied, new member of engine company No. 14. Several others were seriously injured, and it is thought that there may still be more dead who have not been extricateu from under the ruins of the walls, which fell and crushed them.

The seriously injured so far as known are: Ed Thielen, lieutenant of hook and ladder company No. 2.

Captain Cadwell, engine company No. (i. The property loss consisted of the entire demolition of the building occupied by McDonald Brothers, dealers in crockery, elnnaware, glassware, silverware and gas fixtures.

The building was of four stories, brick walls and wooden interior frame work and \^as well stocked. The fire ignited in the boxes and packing stored in the rear of the building and was beyond the power of the fire department to control. At a few minutes before midnight the walls fell, one side wall falling in and the other falling out into the alley where the firemen were at work. The total loss will aggregate over $200,000 insurance unknown.

-ADVICE FOR THE SUMMER.

Some Excellent Notions on an Old but Timely Subject. Abstain from tea and coffee, even coco% and chocolate, if the sacrifice is not too great. Drink plenty of milk, with the addition of a little lime water, if your digestion has been impaired. Cream is still better, as it brings back plumpness and smoothes the wrinkles that winter has made. A raw lemon or a glass of sour lemonade every morning will bring the color back to your cheeks.

If fruit can be had in large quantities, medicine will not be needed to clear the complexion and blood. Fruit, a cereal and a graham cracker or two, make a good breakfast menu. Oatmeal is a little too heavy for spring rice, cracked or whole hominy, or yellow cornmeal. should be substituted. Luncheons should consist of entire wheat bread and butter, cream or cheese, graham or oatmeal crackers, soft boiled eggs, a salad and more fruit. For dinner soup is good if you like it, a very little bit of chop or toast if you must have meat. More salad, made of fresh greens, vegetables as you like them, and still more fruit.

No sweets, except stewed fruit, brown sugar, or pure maple sugar nothing else, unless it bo watercress. No blood medicine can equal the cress when fresh and sprinkled with lenaon juice. Its effect upon the complexion is wonderfuL

The more exercise you take the better. The amount of exercise, though, must be regulated by the period of rest that can follow it. As to bathing, twice a day is not too often. Take a cold sponge in the morning and a good rub with a thick towel and a few moments of exercise. This will make you feel more like working th:m you have felt for months. The bath at night with warm water and soap will make you sleep like a weary baby and wake like a happy child—that is, if your room was well ventilated. If you are very thin, rub yourself with cocoanut or olive oil every night, and use bay rum in tho water that you bathe your face and hands and feet in. Do not read, write or study until you are quite warm again, and in all things be moderate.—Cincinnati Tribune.

A Boiler Frilling Machine. A most ingenious device has been described before one of the societies of mechanical engineers, England—viz, a machine for boiler drilling with speed and precision. In this mochanism the multiple drilling heads for the circular seam are described as being mounted upon a cross slide carried by two uprights, as in a planing machine, this cross slide being raided or lowered by hand or power to suit the varying heights of rings. The drills on the cross slide are five in number, and can be set to varying pitches and angles, and six drills for the butt seams are arranged upon a vertical column on the opposite side of the circular driving table. This an annular ring with a large the center, and is carried on friction rollers only. In the central hole stands a strong upright, sliding on an independent bed below the table, so that it can bo advanced or withrawn by a screw actuated from the outside of the boiler shell, and be brought up against the inside of the shell opposite to the drilling spindles, thus forming a rigid support for the work, being available for supporting tho shell when drilling the butt seams by being set in tho opposite direction. The arrangement is such that all tho drills can be quickly set to varying pitches and at tho same time

the boiler, without disturbing the action of the machine. Tho drills can also bo advanced or withdrawn by the workman standing in one position and actuating a single lever only. Independent adjustment of each drill is provided.—New York Sun.

Curious and Valuable Pocketknives.

The American manufacturers of table and pocket cutlery have turned out some splendid work in the curious and artistic line, but have never succeeded in rivaling the wonderful work of the Sheffield (England) cutlers. One trophy exhibited by the president of one of the big Sheffield concerns is only fiveeighths of an inch in length by twotenths of the same measurement in width, yet it is a perfect knife of brass, steel and ivory and has 20 blades. Another, only an inch in length when closed, has 70 blades, each of a different shape, illustrating every known form given to kmfe blades. Another, somewhat larger, of course, has 230 blades, each exquisitely etched with portraits of British celebrities, scenery, etc.

As far as the number of blades is concerned, the most wonderful knife ever mado (one of regular pocket size) Wiis exhibited by tho Sheffield Manufacturers' union at their exposition in the fall of 1893. It was made of the very finest steel, brass, gold and pearl, and had 1,840 perfect blades 1 Each of these blades had its rivet and spring, and closed into the handle like any other knife blade. This curious specimen of cutlery is valued at a sum equal to §500 either of the others mentioned could be bought for $100. In the year past the Shoilield cutler's triumph was a 100 blade knife made for George IV, which is still present at Windsor castle.—St. Louis Republic.

The Aggravating Shoe Lacing. The low shoe and the dangling lace are as common as field daisies in summer, and yet comparatively few persons avail themselves of the numerous patent devices for making taut and secure the tops of these strings. Among the latest contrivances aro two tiny clasps which are said to be infallible in their continuous grip.—Shoe and Leather Reporter.

Bleeding Gratis.

The following medical advertisement appears in an old Stamford newspaper: "Whereas, the majority of Apothecaries in Boston have agreed to pull down the price of Bleeding to Sixpence, let these certifle t'« it Mr. Richard Clarke, Apothecary, will bleed anybody at his shop, Gratis." —Chambers' Journal.

Among all the structures thatjmake up the human body, the nerves have bean until recently the least understood.

The role of the nerves in the digestion and assimilation of food is a highly important one. The question whether the food shall nourish or become a mere load npon the system is a question of nerve force.

Neglect to satisfy the demands made by the nervous system carries heavy penalties. When this nervous force is exhausted the disgestlve processes are obstructed, the body is weakened and pains of neuralgia, indigestion, rheumatism, invade its parts. During repose the nerves and great nerve centers feed upon the nutritive matarial that is stored in the blood and tissues. It is when this supply of nourishment is prompt and abundant tha*. the nerveus system is able to recuperate, but whew the system lias become too tired to appropriate sulllcient nourishment and the nerves loo shaky to gel the the rest they need, that best of all blood purifiers, nerve foods, and nerve regulators, Paine's celery compound, should be given at once.
