CONNERSVILLE was intending to put in

a

municipal electric light plant, but. bond brokers and the owners of the private plant there prevented them. Thsy threatened to tie the city up on money matters V'" so tight they could not wiggle, and the

city

Wi

succumbed and will continue to be bled.

I TIIE Indianapolis Saloon-keepers Asso1 ciation are after the druggists. Five druggists^have been arrestedjj at their instance for violations of the Nicholson law.

If this law is enforced as it should be it will rid the state of many of the evils of intemperance. It will be enforced if the sentiment of the community is so educated, thai the law_abiding wilP take .it upon~thernselvei to do'their duty and see that the odicers do theirs. Men should not be released on legal guibbles and technicalities on the testimony of dead beats and bums, who are worthy of but little belief.

AT the trial of Theodore Durraut in San Francisjo for the murder of Blanche Lamont, the ?.numberof well dressed women increases

stranger should judge our city alone by what he saw in the Democrat, he I would never desire to come here'to", locate. He wouli think it a city in everyway undesirable in which to live. They claimed for weeks that our water works supplied comparatively no water, that our finances are in a demoralized condition, that taxes wiil be very high, etc etc. The water works here is a new plant and did as well this summer as the majority of plants in adjoining 'cities, as nearly^all were a little short on Jwatsr. There has been no complaint of a scarcity of water for many weeksjjaud we do] not believe there will be again. During Mayor Duncan's .^administration this city 'has -made wonderful ^progress and advancement7~such. as never before' in her history. Water works were completed,§a city buildig erected, a fire company organized and equipped, cement sidewalks constructed, streets and sewers built, one of the handsomest school houses in the

State contracted for, many old frame buildings condemned and removed and their places filled by enterprising citizens with elegant a ad costly brick blocks PW which are an ornament to oar city. All of this has been done despite the croaking and kicking of the Democrat, which •ii'* has gone on continuously and to such a

Zm length that it has disgusted the enterfy prising and progressive business men of gv our city. They feel that all should lend hand in the work of building up Jour ,J§fS city and county aod not everlastingly putting on the brakes and trying to tear down the reputttionof our city which othera are laboring to build up. The improve'Mi ments have been such that oar people point to them with pride when showing a stranger the city and if any man wants fes to go back to the old style, let him stand and say so. The citizens would mark him but they would not be proud of him, 7 no, not a little bit.

I 8100 Reward, 9100. 4 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that sciencejjhas been able]to cure in all its stages and that is .Catarrh.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical frater-

nity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitulHtional 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 natnre 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 1st of Testimonials. Address.

Con-

tiauecfeff(7rt:Tare"made by girls to lionize the'defendant. At a resent sessjou_one infatuated woman, who was entirely un. acquainted with Durrani, went so far as to ru?h"in*jas he was being led'Tfrom the the court-rocm and attempted?,to embrace and kiss him. Such conduct is a disgrace to the sex, but for years many soft hearted and soft headed women have been disposed to make heroes of murderers, and to flood them with flowers and attention. Let other women with jnore sense and better judgment come down on such foolish'conduct in'a manner that will stop it, and if the foolish women* do not have enough pride and self-respect to cause them to conduct]'themselves properly and cease, disgracing their sex,.the judges

the courts.could forbid them

coming to thej court-room. ^^If people have not sense'enough to -behave themselves, they should at least be restrained so that they do not act foolishly..

THE Duncan gang are run close for money. They have now appropriated the cemetery fund to meet their demands. When this gang gets through with the finances of Greenfield we will be in a demoralized state.—Hancock Democrat.

The Democrat, for some reason or another, continues, to assail' the .city government of Greenfield«and attempts to bring it and our city

into

disrepute. If a

little sigh

a weary

"I never get a chance to rest, so awift the mo* ments fly. The summer girls are here so thick, with gallant youths to woo them, It keeps me busy every single hour attending to them.

"I'm overworked, and yet some thoughtless, carping people will complain That engagements oft are broken, that they fail to stand the strain, When any honest critic of my present task will say That I've only time to do it in a superficial way.'' —Washington Star.

Disappointment.

"He comes not." Tho forsaken bride wept amid the gorgeousness of the wedding feast. "He conies not," she wailed.

They tried to tell her that he was unworthy, but she heard them not. "My dreams of wedded bliss"—

Her voice rose to a shriek.

She stood upon the bathing beach, So exquisitely fair That strangers murmured, "She's a peach!"

As they buheld her there.

She stood upon the shining sand, Right in the public eye, And gentle breezes softly fanned

Her as they wandered by.

She stood there, proud as King Canute, And did she never-got Into the waves? Oh, no, her bathing suit

Ho sprinted into town. Back to the office he returned, And sadly did explain How his grandmother's funeral

Upon the Beach.

Was far too fine to wet. —Somerville Journal.

His Objection.

"Nope," said Reginald de Bumme,

"I'll

take my chances most anywhere, but don't steer me agin a New York jail." "Why not?" asked Clarence Fitz Hautbeau. "It's too inhospitable. Ye feel as if ye ain't welcome an datdey're positively glad to git rid of ye."—Washington Star.

The New Woman.

Tedious are those daily rumors, "The new woman wearing bloomers." Pictures of her every morning Page of newspaper adorning. Bathing suits are next recorded In neat phrases, brightly worded. All her follies are related, All her virtues estimated. Chunks of wisdom—lectures solemn 'Peal to her from every column, Cut this fact remains engraven, On the hearts of men and maiden. You may flout her, you may scout her. But you cannot do without her. —New York World.

An Instance.

"There are cases where guesswork is better than practical demonstration," said the prudent man. "Think so?" "Yes. Take, for example, the case of the man who has a curiosity about how far out he can swim at the seaside."— Washington Star.

Office Boy's Explanation.

There came a burst of thunder sound Tho boy—oh, where was he? Out at the city baseball ground,

Where he had slipped in free. The lightning flashed, the thunder rolled, The rain came pouring down. Tho game was called, and wet and or

Was postponed by the rain. —Kansas City Journal.

Lawyer—It has been proved that the stone thrown by my client did hit the plaintiff. That very fact should acquit iier.

Judge—Why? Lawyer—It shows that she couldn't possibly have aimed at the plaintiff.—Philadelphia Record.

At the Seaside.

She's attended by numbers of beaux, When down to the seashore she geaux, Though it isn't her face

"Mary, wo have breakfast at 8o'clock," said Mrs. Post to her now servant girl, Who was already entertaining sevoral friends who had dropped in to see how she liked her new place. "All right, mam," said Mary. "If I ain't up, don't wait for mo."—San Francisco Post.

Musicals.

"I have heard worse playing than that," said he As he ceased, with a cheerful air. And the audience wearily rose to go

And sadly murmured "Where?"

A Similar Conclusion.

Kitty—I understand Mr. Softeigh fell off the dock and it was 15 minutes before he was fished out.

Jane—How did he keep his head above water so long? Kitty—It was the lightest part, I presume.—Detroit Free Press.

Accepted on the Spot.

"I'll let you wear the bloomers, dear," Cried he, "when we are wed." The maiden dropped a gentle tear,

And "Yes" was what she said. —New York World.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

The Mafic Wineglass.

Pour water into a wineglass until it is nearly full and place the palm of your hand squarely over the mouth of

the glass, taking care to bend your fingers at a right angle, as shown in the lower illustration.

Still holding your hand firmly upon the glass, stretch out your fingers suddenly iu a horizontal position, and this will produce a partial vacuum under the palm, which will permit you to lift the glass from the table.

Boy and Robin.

During the extremely severe weather of February, 1895, myriads of birds perished from cold and starvation both in Europe and the United States.- In England this destruction was the more sorrowful perhaps, as the country where the birds winter is more thickly settled than with us, and there were

more to

see their sufferings. But occasionally the British birds found friendly shelter. The London Times published during the cold weather this note from Rodolph Walther, a boy of 12 years, who lives at Tunbridge Wells "I thought perhaps you would allow a schoolboy to tell you how very tame and fearless the cold and hunger have made the wild birds around our house. "Of course we feed them with bread and all sorts of odds and ends, and the ground is simply black with our hungry visitors. Even the suspicious rooks come quite close to the house for their share. 'A little blue tit passes its days in our basement, heedless of sleepy pussy baking herself before the stove. "Most of all I wish to tell you about my strange bedroom companion, a little robin which has taken up its residence in my bedroom, and though I leave the window open he never goes out except to take a short fly. We pass ftie night together, and he makes his bed in one of my football boots. "The other morning he woke me up by singing on a chair at the side of my bed. I suppose he thought I ought to be at my lessons.''

What German Boys Celebrate. In a ^rilitary country like Germany what glurious times the youth must have! They not only celebrate the emperor's birthday, but many military victories besides. Apart from his imperial majesty's anniversary, when all Germany turns out in holiday attire, are the festivities in commemoration of the great battle of Sedan, called Sedansfeiertag. This battle, you know, is the last victory the Germans gained over the French. Sept. 2, 1895, will be the twenty-fifth anniversary, the preparations for which are already being made. In every city,village and hamlet military parades, fireworks, picnics and concerts will be the order of the day. Then will the little German children be sent with helmet, wooden sword and drum, and many a father will present his young son with a whole suit of regimentals.

It is very droll to see a hero of 6 march with conscious dignity or touch his cap with martial salute. In one of the heights that surround a principal town in Germany stands a fort of rude construction that has been made by boys in remote years and has been used by generations of boys ever since upon national holidays. Here the flag is hoisted, the boys divide into two parties, one party mounts the fort and defends the flag, the other endeavors to cross the moat and storm the position. Of course there is plenty of noise and the blast of the never failing horn.—New York Mail, .and Express. .,

Quite Surprising.

Lulu looked bright and rosy when she came, into the. dining room, but she said aa she poured the cream on her oatmeal: "I guess mamma was right about "two pieoes of chocolate cake being too much far tea. Anyway I haven't slept very well. Why, I believe I turned over a thousand times." "Is it possible'/" exclaimed papa, looking very serious. "Let's see! How long were you abed? Ten hours? That Would, be 1Q0 times an hour, or once every 36 seconds. A thousand times! Why, how tired you must be!' '—Youth's Companion.

An Animal Game*

A game called "The Language' of Animals" is so well liked by a family of small children of my acquaintance that it is recommended to those who seek to entertain other small children. Each child chooses the name of an animal, and in turn describes its feelings and actions, the others guessing the name from the description. For instance, the ant says, "I live in a hill I sometimes get into sugar and oake and make tl^em taste very bad.'' The oat says: "I wash my face many times a day. I like :ream find catch mice. "—New York Post.

Well.

"For four years I was a sufferer from nervous debility. During that time I took a great many rem9dies 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."

A New York "Woman Who Suffered "with. Nervous Debility—Paine's Celery Compound Made Her

So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker of

80)4

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

The power of refreshing and reviving every part of the languid body is what makes Paine's celery compound the marvelous strengthener and invigoFator of this century. It is this same capacity to recruit the worn-out nervous system, to rej uvenate 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.

It restores ided nervous energy. It sends new blood coursing through the veins. It makes people well!

A Great Meeting on the Oreatent Track In ttie World—More titan 300 Kntrlea.

All lovers ef real sport will be interested in the great meeting of the Terra 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 which 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 and pacing, and the best horses of the entire country are entered in them. Alive to the conditions that are prevailing 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. This is the only really big meeting at which these popular prices Will prevail, and when it is considered that 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 racing to attend. If you want a prfcgAihme *nd list of entries drop a postal O#rd tp
