S" THE gratuitous distribution of various kinds of seeds through the U. S. mail by & division of the agricultural department will be discontinued after October 1st.

It was pimply one way of keeping a force of clerks employed and spending Uncle Sams money as it never did any good. State experiment stations cover that line effectively and do a good work, but the free distribution of seeds by congressmen was all buncombe

Now that the business situation shows .signs of aenewed prosperity, the tide of immigration is setting in once more. It ha« increased very rapidly in recent months anrl is to be deprecated. America can take in and assiminate all of the better class of immigrants who come, but the horde of ignorant, debased and lawless immigiauts should be excluded. So many come here not to become American citizens or build up homes and form ties and associations that will last for life, but simply to make a few dollars and then return to their own country. Such an element have a lower order of taste and living, have a tendency to lower aud degrade ages and labor and are in no way desirable citizens. Let them be shut out. America lias no use for the vicious, the flawless and the pauper classes of Europe.

THK Nicholson lawappears to be served in Greenfield. The drug stores only deal our liquor upon the proper presciption and according to law. A druggist who heretofore would take his chances of paying a fine for unlawful sales does not now care fer the sake of the reputation of himself and family, to take the chances of being put in jail for violation of the liquor law. Formerly a small share of the profits could be devoted to paying fines. Now the second conviction means a jail sentence as wf-11 as a fine, mid a druggist never could tell when some spy was setting up a scheme on him. The only safs way is to track the law. The saloon men in Greenfield generajly seem disposed to obey the law and the exceptions should be taught such a severe lesson thot they would hereafter be law abiding citizens rather than lawless ones. Laws are made to be obeyed. A continuous evasion or breaking of law means destroying the foundation principles of government. By a proper enforcement of law, officers teach all people the difference between civilization, where laws are made for the geaeral good and barbarism where every man is a law unto himself. Enforcing the law takes away the liberties of no man, either saloon keeper or their patrons, but it does preserve the liberties and rights of families and homes. The Greenfield officers do their duty, therefore they should be encouraged and commended. This adminstration is a good one.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that isv Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitulational treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken [internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they Offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address.

Eighteen Examined.

Eighteen applicants for teachers license presented themselves before County Supt. Jackson last Saturday. The questions are said to have been quite hard. One fell by the wayside, before noon and seventeen finished.

Sunday Irma Barnett, in jumping over a fence at Mayor Geo. W. Duncan's, tripped and fell striking her head and face on the cement side walk. The blow was a hard one and rendered heir unconscious for a considerable time. Dr. C. K. Bruner was called1 and after an ex-, amination he said she would get along all right,but it was a very close call both for a fracture of the skull and co ncussion of the brain. ,.

The Greenfield Ice factory, under the management of George Morehead, is establishing a fine reputation on the purity and lasting qualities of its ice. Large sales are being made to alljthe surrounding towns, although they pay a little higher for it here. They say that in the long run this ice is the cheapest and much better. Last week Morristown bought g'x tons here, and other towns in proportion.

THE EAGLE NKST RAIDED.

Two Women Arrested and Lodged in Jail.

Mrs. Cassie M. Headley, who is said to have been running a house of evil resort, known as the "Eagle's Nest" on account of its high location and surrounding hills, in Blueriver township, was arrested Saturday night by Greenfield officers. Mrs. Seth Thornburg was also brought in and landed in jail with Mrs. Headley. Some of the officers are of the opinion that the inmates of the resort had been warned of their coming and that many of them had taken to the woods before their arrival. The officers, not knowing all about the house, were not as succassfulas they might eave been had they been perfectly informed in the matter. There was one woman aud perhaps three men who got out of the house and away through openings that the officers knew nothing about. The people who live in the neighborhood of this resort have been much annoyed by the conduct of persons who frequent the place. The trouble about arresting these people and breaking up such resorts, is that iere are so many frequenters and sympathizers that it is hard to catch the parties before they are warned. The cases came up before Justice Spencer this iaorning. J. H. Biuford appeared for the defendants ond asked for a continuaace until Thursday ou account of the absence of witnessae and the sickness of the Ihornbnrg woman. The Headley woman gave bond of $100 for her appearance Thursday morning, and the Thornburg woman's bond was fixed at $50 for her appearance at the same time. R. A. Black, who is away at present, will perhaps assist Mr. Binford in the defense.

EXTERMINATE THE AVEEDS.

Property Owners and the City Should Move Simultaneously.

If one wants to raise a fine crop of corn, potatoes, wheat, oats or any of the other desirable products of a farm it takes careful and persistent work. The ground first has to be prepared, then seeded, diligently cultivated and last of all gathered before one can reap the benefits of his summers work. With weeds it is entirely different. It is no trouble at all to raise weeds. Just sit on the front porch and rest and give the weeds a chance, they will do the rest. In one year you can get your own farm or lot tolerably well seeded and the wind will carry many seed to your neighbors land. It is not the thing, however, to let this jate of aff urs exist The weeds should be exterminated. The laws of Indiana provide a penalty for road supervisors and also for farmers and other land owners who a1 low Canada thistles to" ripen and scatter seed. There is another weed which is said to be a worse pest than the Canada thistle, viz., the wild lettuce plant. It is now growing extensively on some of the vacant lots about the city and even in the gutters of some of the streets near the limits of the corporation. Where weeds are on vacaDt lots the City Council should compel the owners to cut them or have it done by the street commissioner at the lot ownej's expense. The street commissioner should see that all weeds in the street are cut. The Canada thistle and wild lettuce are great crop destroyers. Mrs G. W. Souders, southwest of the city' has a meadow that has been ruined by the latter. Ordinary pride should cause all property owners to keep all pestiferous weeds and noxious vegetation down on their premises, but if they do not, let the laws be enforced at once. Let no weed seed be scattered over Hancock county this year.

Good Form In Bicycling.

The "form" of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback. It is probably only a question of a short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure a situation. On the road the woman who wishes to ride a la mode has to know a number of little things that are overlooked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as inexorable as that they should not eat with their knives or put sugar on oysters. Society insists on an upright position, with of course no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell—that will do for the vulgar herjl who delight in noise. The well infornred wheelwoman keeps eye and ear aleyt and touches her bell rarely. She dresses daintily and inconspicuously—effaces herself, in fact, as much in this exercise as she does in all publiq places.—New York Times.

More English Agony.

In the United States, which used to be called the paradise of women, they are not just now having a very good time. They are suffering from the persecution of both sexes. In the state of Albany a law against ladies wearing tall hats in theaters was recently proposed in the legislature, while a bill has been laid before the board of aldermen at Chicago, at the instigation of the Women's Reform society, to forbid women from wearing leggings or skirts that are above a certain number of inches from the ground. The men want their attire to be cut off at one end and the women to have it lengthened at the other. What would the fair fashionables who disport themselves in Battersea park on their two wheeled steeds say to such sartorial edicts? The new woman boasts of the freedom permitted to her sex in America, but even there, it seems, they want to trample on her, or at least upon her skirts.—Illustrated London News.

A Slander.

A clever woman, in the New Orleans Picayune, says that it has been whispered to her that there will be a room in the Woman's building, at the Atlanta fair, where any of the sex so minded may steal away and smuke cigarettes, and she follows up the story with a talk against the evils of the weed for the feminine gender

That such a story should exist at all is probably due to the ingenious brain of some newspaper space writer, and it has never occurred to the women interested in the Woman's building that there were women who might be addicted to the noxious weed. From the very inception of the enterprise the general trend of ideas for every department has been to make it thoroughly refined and womanly, and indeed the mere suggestion of cigarette smoking among women would horrify most of the members of the board beyond expression.—Atlanta Letter.

Miss Burta Grace Boyd.

The Eastport (Me.) Sentinel notes, as an honored visitor to that place, a young lady of brave fame—Miss Burta Grace Boyd, known as the Grace Darling of the St. Croix, who has charge of the Ledge light, located about six miles below St. Stephen, and who won her worthy title 12 years ago by saving, alone and unaided, two young sailors from certain death, a deed of bravery recognized by the Dominion government, which presented her with a handsome, well equipped lifeboat and a beautiful gold watch. Miss Boyd is the daughter of Captain John Boyd, for years keeper of the light. Since his death Miss Boyd has faithfully performed the keeper's duties. She is described as a petite body, whom one would never credit with sufficient physical prowess for the deeds she has done, but the great things are achieved by the great spirit so often found in small frames.

The Club Movement.

Mrs. Lillian C. Streeter gives some interesting statistics of the growth of the women's club movement after the organization of the general federation.

We'know," says Mrs. Streeter in the Boston Herald, "of only four clubs organized prior to 1870. Between 1870 and 1880 we have a record of 39 more, the centennial year giving birth among others to the famous Chicago Woman's club, whose record is in many respects the most remarkable of all. Between 1880 and 1890 only 140 clubs were organized, while during the five years which have elapsed since 1890,. the year in which the general federation was organized, more than 250 clubs have come into being and joined the federation, while many more are still waiting to be allied to it." gf.

A Philanthropic Coantese.

The Countess Schimmelmann, formerly a lady in waiting at the court of Berlin, addressed the workingmen of Copenhagen the *other day and announced that she intended to sell her large villanear the Danish capital and devojtjB the proqecds to the poor. She bad lived she said, in the palace of an em^eror and in the huts of fishermen, ana she had become convinced that the poor sire happier than the millionaire.

for Red Arms.

Hough, red arms area source of much annoyance to many women, especially to those who are given to wearing short sleeves. They should be washed every night in very hot water and scrubbed vigorously until quite red with a coarse turkish towel. Before drying rub in a little lemon juice mixed with an equal amount of lime water.

A Woman Customs Inspector.

The best inspector in the French custom house is a woman. She is in the Havre office, and she has a nose that can detect dutiable goods without opening a look. She is* naturally amiable and slow to anger, but woe to the foreigner or countryman who provokes her ire.—

Well.

"For four years I was a sufferer from nervous debility. During that time I took a great many remedies without getting any help until I tried Paine's celery compound. I took six bottles of that remedy and was cured. I cheerfully recommend Paine's celery compound."

So writes Mrs. M. S. Schooumaker of 80% 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 spend 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 with material for the repair of their parts, and the great vital organs must have

TKRKK HAUTE FAIR RACES.

A Great Meeting on the Greatest Track In. the World—More than 300 Entries.

All lovers at real sport will be interested in the great meeting of the Terre Haute Fair Races, at the world-famous. Terre Haute track' August 5th. 6th, 7th8th and 9th' at which purses aggregating $30,000 are offered. The programe comprise 21 races, in 14 of whic^ there are nearly 300 entries, and there are seven others to close in a few days, which will swell the grand total to about 400 entries. These races embrace all the classes of trotting aud paciag, and the best horses of the entire country are entered in them. Alive to the conditions that are prcy&iliog at present the directors have decided upon a step that should go a great way toward making these races the most successful yet given. It is no less A thing than reducing the price of admission to 50 cents, placing it within the reach of all. TJiis is the only really big meeting at which these popular prices will prevail, and when it is considered tbatu the races here will equal in sport and interest those of the biggest high priced meetings of the year, it is seemed that the attendance should be something phenomenal.

All the railroads entering Terre Haute have made half fare rates for this meeting, which will make it possible for all lovers of raciug to attend. If you want ft prrcgamme and list of entries drop a pos-
