THE rain last Siturday NIG^T ^was a magnificeut^oiie for the corn. The rains of the last fe^v days-have made Hancock county certaia'for a fine corn crop^which will bring hundreds of thousands Jars into the county. The rains, however, spoiled a large number 'of small potatoes, which will not be regretted.
Ix Shelby county some citizens seem to be seeking to take the law in| their own hands. In Liberty, Shelby and Hanover townships, white cap notices are being pasted and threats made Hgainst people, js there anything the matter with" the Shelby county courts? If thj courts are lax in their administration of justice the people are sometimes compelled to resort to question ible measures to teach lawless person.- :i lesson. If the white cappei'S are pe ecuticg innocent parties, the courts shoul speedily let them feel the •weight of th.-) law.
Ex-CoxGKESSMAK .JOSEPH B. CHEADLE, of Frankfort, who is an ardent silver advocate and one of tfie best posted men in the State po'itica'ly, challenged "V\ D. Bynum for a joint discussion of the silver question at Rockville, but Mr. £Bynum promptly declined. That showed.better judgment than one would ex ect from Bynum. Hi". Cheadle would be altogether too strong for Bynum and would have a big majority of the people 011 his side *!oth at the opening and closing, espeeiai.y the latter.
IT is hinted that the "Sound Currency" committee of the New York Reform Club is paying W. D. Bynum £50 a night for his so-called sound money or gold bug speeches in this State. There may be a few simple-minded Hoosiers, but a man who made five congressional campaigns «,s a free silver man as did Bynum, can not hoodwink many, even of that class. is flop was too sudden and too complete S his speeches to be very convincing. veryone knows somebody is behind Byii im pulliug the striDg, and that he is out for Bynum's personal interest and not the goo of the people.

People who wear bloomers do not wear them because they are short of clothes.— Auburn Advertiser.
A Topcka newspaper alleges that preparations are making in that town for a wedding at which the bride will wear bloomers. She is said to be an exceedingly emancipated type of the new woman.
It is hardly necessary to say that the Boston girl who is riding around the world on a bicycle, and who during her tour has received 500 proposals of marriago, does not wear bloomers.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
With her usual audacity Chicago has decided that woman can wear bloomers if she wants to. As women have known this for some years, however, the Chicago decision isn't likely to immediately revolutionize the prevailing style of women's dress.— Philadelphia Inquirer.
It took a colored woman to brave the somewhat brusque public opinion of Tucson, A. T., in being the introducer of bicycle bloomers in that town. Her white sisters had the bloomers, but not tho courage, as was proved by their following the colored wheelwoman's example the very next day.

0KNAMENT THE TOWN
BEAUTY A GREAT FACTOR IN GROWTH AND WEALTH.
One can travel 30 miles without crossing a railroad or swing bridge. Such is the popular appreciation of this drive and so great are its benefits to these towns and to real estate owners that the proposal to extend it to Milwaukee, 85 miles from Chicago, is strongly favored by the Merchants' association of Milwaukee.
The Honesdale Improvement association, organized less than four years ago and made up of women, but admitting
men as honorary members, is the model
(1547.04) society of J. sylvania. It started

Communities That Have Profited by Tree Planting and Paved Streets—How Children May Help—Sanitation and Sewerage—Evanston's Splendid Drive.
The good work accomplished by village improvement societies in awakening public spirit and arousing town pride forms the subject of an aiticlo in The Foruin by B. G. Northrop, who has made an exhaustive study of the matter and who has traveled extensively in search of information by personal observation. The following is an extract from his article:
Nebraska and Nebraska City owe more to Mr. J. Sterling Morton, now secretary of agriculture, than to any other citizen. So remarkable have been the results of Arbor day in Nebraska that as its originator he is gratefully recognized as the benefactor of the state. Proofs of such public appreciation I have found wherever I have been in Nebraska, which leads all the states in tree planting. Mr. Morton's residence, Arbor Lodge, was the birthplace of Arbor day, as well as an object lesson in village improvement to Nebraska City, which now contains 12,000 inhabitants and has waterworks, gas and electric lights, six miles of sewers, three and a half miles of street railways, four miles of paved streets, a public library and a hospital. The Park association made the city park a fine specimen of landscape gardening. Morton park, a well wooded and beautiful tract of land of about 25 acres, was purchased by Mr. Morton for $4, GOO, and, after being laid out with drives and walks, prettily embellished with hundreds of evergreens and provided with a pavilion for music and public meetings, was presented to the city. In honor of their distinguished fellow citizen the Old Settlers' association of the county has erected in Morton park a log cabin—a reproduction of his first home in Nebraska and a fit place for the reunion of the pioneers every summer. It is constructed of legs grown by the pioneers themselves since the settlement of Nebraska in 185-1.
Evanston is the most progressive and prosperous of the many beautiful suburban towns around Chicago. It has all the modern improvements, such as gas, electricity, sewers and street cars, with broad, well shaded streets. It is the seat of the Northwestern university, situated in the center of a native forest, a campus of 43 acres, bordering 011 Lake Michigan. It is a city of elegant homes, mostly owned by the occupants. Thirteen years ago I was happily impressed by it, and since then its population has quadrupled.
The movement for tho Sheridan drive was originated in Evanston. After repeated meetings of public spirited citizens at the house of Mr. Volney W. Foster, the Sheridan Road association was formed, with Mr. Foster as president. That organization has proved a most effective village improvement society and has awakened great interest in a spore of villages along the shore of Lake Michigan. Beginning with the Lake Shore drive in Chicago, a part of its boulevard and park system, it already extends north for 28 miles with a few short breaks and wTill soon be completed to Waukegan, a distance of 8G miles. Its width ranges from 50 to 100 feet. The longest continuous stretch of the drive of 100 feet, breadth is in Evanston, which has been the foremost of these lake shore towns to further this enterprise. The drivo affords good views of the lake at nearly all points. By permission of the United States officials, the road crosses the beautiful grounds of Fort Sheridan. At some places a landI scape gardener has happily utilized ravines and bluffs with picturesque effect.
Vlg-
orously with 250 paying members. Its
officers are influential women who have already shown great tact and zeal in awakening town pride and public spirit. The citizens and the local papers, irrespective of political parties, heartily support them. The Yoiuig People's Auxiliary society, including the school children, is enlisted in protecting flower beds and shrubbery and in gathering waste paper scraps into the neatly painted boxes suitably labeled and placed about the town. From the outset the society advocated sanitation and improved sewerage even more than adornment. Its last official report enumerates many recent improvements and says: "Our society has worked its way into public recognition and favor, and its influence is felt and respected. We did not overestimate the public spirit of our townspeople and their hearty co-opera-tion in our endeavors. This is notably the attitude of our town council in every appeal we have made to them. Our society is steadily growing and promises still better results in the future. Our streets now challenge admiration for their cleanness."
Though Honesdale is the largest coal storing station in the world, the flower beds in the parks, even those near the large canal basin, are free from trespass. The crowds of boatmen evidently value and admire them. The town council could not have achieved what these women have with these great corporations. It was due to their -tact and persistence that the Delaware and Hudson Canal company removed nuisances and Unsightly buildings and that the telerraph and electric companies have paintod all their poles in the town, haviug Lrst removed advertisements. 1

"For four years I was a sufferer from nervous debility. During that time I took a great many remodies without getting an}T help until I tried Paine's celery compound. I took six bottles of that remedy aud was cured. I cheerfully recommend Paine's celery compound."
So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker of SO.1-.,' Jane street, New York City. Too many women needlessly suffer from nervous troubles, not only in the cities, but everywhere.
Their whole world too frequently lies inside the four walls of their homes. Think of the many persons, men as well as women, who speud most of their lives barricaded within the narrow confines of their dwellings. Summer finds them pale and tired out. Their store of nervous vitality has been slowly brought down by vitiated air and sedentary life. Their whole system needs a thorough replenishing. The nerves want nourishment, the tissues are not half supplied vi ith material for the repair of their parts, and the great vital organs must have

The power of refreshing :iud reviving every part of the languid body is what makes Paine's celery compound the marvelous strengthener and invigorator of this century. It is tbis same capacity to recruit the worn out nervous system, to rejuveuat9 the blood that has enabled this remarkable remedy to help so many debilitated persons and to restore them again to firm health.
Rheumatism, neuralgia, pain in the region of the heart, debility- and nervous weakness, showing itself in any of its myriad forms, are dispelled by Paine's celery compound. It feeds enervated tissues all over the body. It gives fresh vigor to the entire nervous tract, the brain, the large nerve centers in the spinal cord and the nerve3 themselves to their minutest ramification.
