OBKBN FIELD INDIANA

OUR delightful New York financial sorrespondent informs us, this week, that "Realizable progress is the denand of the hour." You bet it. is. Cf we should have to endure some progress that we couldn't realize it might go hard with us.

POSTMASTER SAIIM, of Indianapolis, had 1,242 applications for places it his disposal when he took office a few days ago, with only twelve positions outside of the classified service to bestovjr. The hungry patriots of the capital city evidently think their oew P. M. is "Uncle Sa(h)m" himself.

THE great storm that swept eastward over Indiana Feb. 12 reached New York the following day. The frost work that followed upon all the trees and forests surrounding New York is described as something almost miraculous. The trees of Central Park were especially brilliant in trimmings that resembled the finest spun glass, which glistened in the *unlight with almost unearthly radiance. _________

FRANCE is also struggling with a tariff question. Popular feeling in that country is said to demand an increase of the duty on corn, which is extremely distasteful to Russia, the latter power having even gone go far as to send a note of protest to the government at Paris. The French Ministry have replied that the duty will be made as low as possible. A rupture of existing treaties between the two countries is a possible outcome of the dispute.

A FORTUNE awaits the man who can perfect anew brand of chewing gum that will knock out tho§e now in demand. The market is brisk, and har$ times have not lessened the voiume of trade in this commodity in the least. One brand now on the market is said to have cleared $2,000,000 for the manufacturers in this country alone. The habit is spreading and is no longer confined to giggling girls and small boys. The gum has a rccognized place and an assured future. It is as staple as flour, but it is hardly classed as yet as a necessary of life.

TIIE annexation of Canada to the United States has been a question that has long received attention in certain quarters. While it has been known that there was a. sentiment among a certain class in Canada favorable to the movement, it htld not been generally believed that the idea had taken any strong hold on the mass of Canadian people. Recent developments, however, tend to show that the British government is by no means indifferent to the matter, it having beeu clearly shown that John Bull has emissaries both in Canada and in New York city whose sole business is to keep the British ministry fully informed on all points having a bearing on the question of Canadian annexation to the United States, and especially to ascertain if a sentiment in favor of ftuch a movement is gaining ground in tho Provinces of Quebec and Ontario.

THE stories that continue to come to us from Austria, France, Spain and Russia of Anarchist plots and red flag conspiracies, exploding bombs and foul assassinations, with an occasional outbreak in the United States of a similar character, are not particularly pleasant reading and are still less comfortingto those who "hope for and believa in the advancement and welfare of the human race. Reisdents of our peaceful rural districts can not fully realize the conditions that have brought about these unhappv manifestations of a deep-rooted evil that is sapping the life of all real progress, nor can they realize their own superior condition and happy lot in contrast with the darkened lives and miserable mental condition of those who hold themselves a ready sacrifice in order that they may strike a venomous biow at all existing governments and rulers, or inflict diabolical injuries upon innocent victims who by no possible process of reasoning can be held accountable for tho wrongs of which they complain.

Wo Ooglit to L&ugh More.

There ought to be societies formed for the encouragement of the laugh. A real laugh is not common. If he laughed heartily and oftener man would be better morally and physically. There is nothing like habitual laughter for promoting good appetites arid good digestion. The m-in who laughs honestly has no heart for avarice, cruelty and dissimulation. A man may smirk and guffaw and be a villian still: bui one who laughs habitually and with his whole being can be nothing of the sort. Therefore, brethren and sisters, upeed the cause of laughter if you can.

Lilicokalanl Ta'ki of ller Cause an«l the Condition of Her Teaple,

The New York Herald prints an interview with ex-Qneen Liluokalani. granted to its correspondent at Honolulu, February 28. The ex-Queen wished it distinctly denied that her interest in the restoration of the monarchy was wholly personal. "Of course/' she continued, "we havo naturally a deep personal interest at stake, but you may say that we are deeply sorry on account of our patient native people, many of whom have lost employment by the overthrow If anything grieves us sorely, more sorely than our own annoyance, it is their own distress. Their devotion has been so marked during nun trouble that we are most grateful. They are. of course, very anxious about their liberties, for I assure you that th: Iiawaiians love th ur country. I may say that I believe they arc .as patriotic as any other people in tho world. Our subjects are probably more patient than any other people in the world, and for that matter we have counselled to be peaceful and await results." She said she loved the American people and American jvernment, but believed that there was as much liberty in Hawaii under mon» archy as in the United States.

Hoostor Hunters Find Treasure Trove and Ancteut Relics.

A report comes from New Harmony that while George Elder, Charles Wheatcraft and Percy Bennett were hunting on the Wabash river, near lioman's Rend, in a boat, their attention was attracted by a phosphorescentlighton the hillside, which thoy investigated. There hal been for years traditions of buried treasure on the hillside, and it was fairly honeycombed with excavations, save at this particular point. Digging down several feet they unearthed a rusty box. strongly clamped, which they carried to the boat and opened. Amass of yellow coin was disclosed, tho collection embracing doubloons, Spanish pieces of eight, and other money, besides which there was a portrait of a beautiful girl, apparently twenty-one years old, on the corner of which was inscribed in Spanish, "Donna Lucille." The finders are said to have, communicated with the Government at Washington relatjve to their discovery, and if r.o heirs can be found they will claim it as their own. There is a tradition extant at Vincennes that when that place was still an Indian trading post, three men, pursued by Indians, were compelled,to abandon their canoe at Roman's Rend, and, after burying an iron box filled with treasure, they tried to escape overland. They were pursued and massacred. Tho box was never recovered, unless it is tho one now said to have been found by the trio of New Harmony hunt* ers.

Stories of the winnings of men a1 faro and baccarat at the gambling houses of Saratoga and Long Branch aro very ranch exaggerated by the time they get to New York, says the New York Sun. Not long since it happened that tho writer was in Daly's place at Long Branch, when a mac who bears a well known name among the 4U0 of New York, came in and lai{| a $20 bill on the table. Ho won, pulled up chair, and played half an hour, and quit the game a little over $1,40C •ahead. This amount ho counted carefully while at supper wilh the writer jf this paragraph. As tho father ol the player is of considerable prominence in New York, ho was careful say nothing about the incident. This amount jumped to the extraordinary figure of $18,001) in the Society Weekly, •which was issued last Thursday, and by the time it gets back from a soriet of peripatetic journeys through th« western press it will in all likelihood reach six figures. And the amiable young son of a New York millionaire will be quoted as one of the most during and hazardous gambling sharps it the country. In point of tho fact, he has not played faro more than half I dozen times in his life.

was no known specific for kidney disease, which is so prevalent, and ia. many cases so fatal. He determined, therefore, to devote his talents to the study and discovery of the means not. only to relieve, cure and restore these all important organs to health when they were diseased, but to strengthen and stimulate them so that they should properly perform their necessary functions. The result of his exhaustive investigation and experiments tested in every-day practice, resulted in the discovery of the compound now known as Dr. Kilmer a Swamp-Root. Thephenomenal success of this great remedy has demonstrated the fact beyond a doubt that it is is now the true sp&» ciiic, not on!y for Kidney and Bladder difficulties, but seldom fails to cur» that much dreaded Bright'* Disease-

S. ANDRAL KILMER, M.

ihem in volume after volume: but the one who is greatest and noble-t of them all—who is the leading benefactor of mankind—the great physician, labcr.i on mcdestly in his grand work I of saving life and relieving pain and distress, and is content to do without biogc. phoi-s. and leaves his praiso to su::g by the grateful patients he has cured. What grander, nobler, or holier career can there be than that c-f ministering to the tick and suffering.

To say that Dr. Kilmer is the leading physician to day, among the many skillful men in the medical profession, is true if a man's success and achievements are counted in the scale. For over foity yca.-s he has dovoted his life and talents—of which nature has most richly on-lowed him—to the study of disea and its successful treatment. During that timj ho has personally examined, pre cribed frr and successfully treale 1 nearly a half million patients, in addition to those who are now under his professional care at his magnificent Sanitarium which he has lecantly established for the benefit of such cases as require his personal supervision.

D., BINGHAMTON, N. Y. which after all is nothing but ad kidney disease.

We say now, if Dr. Kilmer has done nothing else to make his name immortal tho discovery of this one great remedy alone has given him a reputation that w.ll continue as long as the world stands. D/. Edward Jenncr died in 182.'t, but his discovery of vaccination still exists throughout the civilized unive:so: Dr. William Thomas Green Morton has long been dead, and yet he lives to-day thr nigh his wonderful discovery of anvsthetics, and long after our distinguished Dr. Killmer has passed from earth his name will bo familiar as the discoverer of Swamp-Root, the greatest remedy of this nineteenth centuiy.

It has become an axiom that a man is a benefactor who succeeds in making* two blades of gra-s grow where only one has grown before then what shall wo say of tho man who is able to increase the average duration of human life? This, we freely concede, has been, accomplished by S. Andral Kilmer, M. D,, through the discovery of his famousremedy Swamp Root, and we say it without fear of successful contradiction. Its wonderful cures, and its power over tho kidneys have done and are doing more to increase the average duration-of human life than all physicians and medicino3 known.

HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.

Growing Popularity of the Oxford Sewing Machines. There is nothing more truly a household treasure than a good sewing machine. 1o be without it is to be willfully deprived of the immense advantage ,of one of the zivatest of all inventions. A machine once bought is a perpetual treasure. It ilemands no wages, occasions no e\pun.-.o or trouble and is always ready without :i moment's notice, to render tin work of the laborious housewife tenfold more elh-L-ient and exoeditions. Somo machines combine the best ideas and suggestions which have been so abundantly introduced in this r.-markable mochanism.

A machine which exhibits in liberal combination all the best features introduced is the Oxford Improved Sewing Machine, made by the Oxford Manufacturing Company, Chicago, description ami cut of which can be seen in the adwrtiain^ columns of this paper. They make high and low arm machines, with lock-stitchshuttlc.ruuuing iisht mid quiet. These machines have the following imnortant features: Cheapness (ranging from SU).r.O upward perfcct, almost self-adjusting and graduated tension are under control of the operator, ami are always positive In their working. Tliev are entirely selfthreading in all points, including thv shuttle. The needle is self-setting, and the attachments are quickly and easily placed and fastened. The shuttle has an easy oscillating motion, causing it to keep its proper 11 ice against the race. Theiif Oxford, Home and Columbia Machines, with attachments, were awarded the medal premium at the World's Columbian* Exposition, Chic:igo:
