A PROP of GO degrees in the mercury at Burlington, Iowa, was the greatest fall reached Friday. It was sufficient here, however.

THE amount of Indiana's taxes for the year are $18 891,581.47, but include the delinquent taxes and it swells the amount to $22,008,331.56. That means about $11.00 taxes for each and every man, woman and child in the state. It is an enormous sum, and avray out of proportion to what it should be.

BRAZIL wants a woman member of the School Board, but they require so many qualifications that it looks like the men will hold this job a good while. They want the woman to be perfect in face and form, a modern Diana, a sweet faced Cleopatra, with a Trilby foot and a Joan of Arc nerve, and no other need apply, as the Times says the freckled, fat and booty are barred out. employed in the public priating office at Washington wrote home to an Arkansas paper and over his own signature advocated free silver coinage and referred to Cleveland as "a grand old rascal" and said "he is as full of perfidy as a snow ball is of water." That young Arkansan is now looking for a job. He was given the* grand bounce and other office holders cr people wanting pie must bow at the feiirine of the great "G. C." or he will know the reason why.

THE United States Leather company, well known as the Leather Trust, has raised the price of leather, and if it should be kept up it would raise the price of shoes, especially the cheaper grades. The Trust claims it is on account of a scarcity of hides but that claim will be knocked out like the claim of the Beef Trust that the high price of beef was caused by a scarcity of cattle. There are stringent anti trust laws but the trusts thrive and control prices just the same, as Attorney General Olney is a trust lawyer and evidently stands in. The people however have stood the 'stand and deliver business as long as they care to and propose to cut off any political party that does not enforce the laws against trusts.

JUDGE THOMPSON discharged Fulton Gordon at Louisville last week who was before the Court charged with killing his wife and her paramour, Archie D. Brown on of Gov. Young Brown, of Kentucky, with the following closing remark: "I discharge Mr. Gordon that it may be a warning to other adulterers." Gordon now a free man, except the pangs of remorse and conscience. Thursday another Kentuckian, Bert Hall, of Lexington, after a terrific struggle, shot and instantly Killed Volney Baird,the seducer of his wife and destroyer of his home. Once more justice has been summarily dealt out to a scoundrel who wrecked a family. It seems to be the only way to reach these unhung scoundrels.

ALL the daily papers this week had an account of the way the Morgan-Roth-,child syndicate was preparing to do the American people again. They are buying up all the gold produced in this country by giving a premium on it, in some cases running to a cent and a half, and as soon as they have the yellow metal well cornered they will pull the strings and the U. S. treasury gold reserve, which now amounts to $93,000,000, will disnppear very quickly. The bond syndicate now have a contract with Cleveland and Carlisle whereby they are to have any bonds issued before October 1st at the rate they last sold at. The syndicate made $9,000,000 off of the last purchase. When an ordinary syndicate holds a man up and takes his money it is called robbery, but when a syndicate holds the government up it is called financiering. One goes to the penitentiary if caught, and the other just keeps on robbing. The American people, however, will not much onger put people in charge of the govment who either have not the capacity or nclination to ward off these highwaymen and blood-suckers, or else they stand in with them. It will be remembered that it was Cleveland's former law partner, Stetson, that did much of the negotiating whereby the syndicate scooped $9,000,000 off the government. How was the swag divided? It is an interesting question.

THE TRIPLET DIFFICULTY. The Chicago Inter Ocean is getting off some of the finest political cartoons ever issued by a paper in this country. Thac in Fridays issue was called "The Triplet Difficulty" and represented "Uncle Sam" laying three howling infants with cavernous mouths wide spread before the President who is busy writing. Uncle Sam exclaims "look here Grover, can't you do something for me?

Grover, "I have already announced that in such cases I can do nothing more than write a courteous letter. Uncle Sam looks miserable. The babies are labeled Deficit, Doubt and Depression and are pulling vigorously at his hair and whisker. Just over Grover's head on the wall hangs a motto "In Gold We Trust.".

ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATED

Til AT HANCOCK COUNTY NEEDS ANEW COURT HOUSE.

Tlie Present House Entirely Too SmallCourt Room Presents a Dismal Appearance To Strangers.

Tlie REPUBLICAN has repeatedly called attention to the fact that Hancock county's court house is entirely too small is poorly ventilated,is very ancient, has no conveniences and presents a very siiabby appearance to a stranger.

It is entirely too small for a trial which creates much interest, as for instance, the celebrated "Dr." Haiens trial, or the present Binforcl divorce suit. It will be remembered that during tlie Haines trial, hundreds of people were refused admittance on account of no room. The present divorce trial is bringing hundreds of people from Blueriver township, besides from other places and it is impossible for one-third of the crowd to be seated or to even gain admission to the room. These are not the only instances we call to mind. Take auy public gathering which is of much interest to citizens over the county and the room is uncomfortably filled even to suffocation in the summer time.

It is very ancient having been built in 1854, when the county was veryspaisely settled, wh'.n Grcenfitld wai nothing but a country town auii when built it was consideied a large and commodious building adequate for all the demands of a court house at that time. But Hancock county and Greenfield have grown until they now rank among the leading counties.and.cities in the State, and to be up todate with other counties and cities, we must haye a new court house that will be in keeping with our other improvements.

It has very few conveinences, as any of the county officials will tell you. In all the offices there are records and papers which, if stroyed by fire and had to be replaced, would cost the county more than double the cost of a new court house even if thay could be restored at all. In fact, we have frequently heard an exofficial state that there was not half enough room in the present clerks office for important records, and that there were a large number of books stored in empty rooms at the county jail.

It presents a very shabby appearance to a stranger who has business to transact at any of the offices. When he enters the court house he generally sees a very dirty hall, and when he goes into an office he finds books and papers all over the counters, and things cluttered up generally. This condition is not especially the fault of any of the officers, but it is thus because they have no place in which to keep the books and papers. In going into the court room the first thing a stranger sees is a very discolored ceiling, especially in the southeast corner nearly over the judges desk. This discoloring is caused by a leak in the ceiling which for some reason, can not be repaired.

The above are some of the reasons why Hancock county should have a new court house, but there are many others which are very obvious to a fair minded man. This county and city have made vast strides in the past few years, and we think it is time that we wake up to the fact that we are no longer in swaddling clothes, but have put on full grown clothes in everything except our court house.

To show that the time is ripe for building a new court house, and that Hancock county is amply able to build one, we called on Auditor Boring and got these facts. The entire indebtedness of Hancock county at the present time is $6,500, in bridge bonds, which debt is not due until the fall of 1896. By that time the regular routine of taxes will more than pay these bonds. Thus it will be seen that this countv is practically out of debt and can well afford to build a new court house. There are many instances which we could cite that would show that other counties, not nearly as well off as this county, which have built new court houses. One of these is Fulton county. That county with a much larger debt than our county, issued $65,000 worth of bonds, and sold those bonds for $71,000. This is a large premium on the bonds, and no doubt Hancock county could secure a larger promium, as she is out of debt. Auditor Boring informs us that there is hardly a mail comes but what he gets letters asking if we are going to build anew court house, and that if we are, they want to bid on the bonds. It will be no trouble for Hancock county to get a large premium on what bonds she desires to issue.

We mentioned the subject to Aquilla Grist one of our commissioners and he la heartily in favor of a new court bouse, and will probably bring the subject before the text Commissioners' court which convenes in June. Now as the county is out of debt and has a good chance to sell bonds, we ask, why not take the necessary steps to build a new court house. Of course, there are some people who will make a kick, but Auditor Boring says that there is hardly a day passes but what some one comes in his office who says that the county needs anew building and they are some of our largest tax payers, too.

By all means let the Commissioners start the ball at their next meeting and decide to build a house that will keep pace with other counties and one that will help to give this county the reputation to which she is entitled. ,, &

THE BIIX DRAWN CARELESSLY.

Mr. Moores Thinks New County Superintendents' Law Constitutional. Assistant Attorney-general Moores believes that the law changing the time of electing county superintendents is constitutional. A score or more of inquiries have been received at the Attorney-gener-al's office, and all have been referred to Mr. Moores. He has looked up the law on the subject, and found that the Supreme Court has decided that where the purpose of the Legislature is stated in the title the act is valid, although some technical mistake may have been made in the bill. Mr. Moores says the county superintendents' bill was carelessly drawn. The Legislature amended Section 33, disregarding another amendment made in 1873. He says the Legislature stated its intention in the title of the bill, and that is sufficient. He advises those county trustees who are in doubt whether to meet in June or September to meet in the latter month and obey the new law. Those Democratic trustees who meet in June and elect county superindents, he says, will act contrary to the law.—Indianapolis Journal.

The law may lead to some complication, as some Democrats may seek to be elected and hold over, contrary to the new law. Such a move will not be popular with the people, however, as they believe when a set-of men are knocked out at the polls and elected to stay at home that that is what they should do.

Flag And Tower Men Will Be Expected to Do Double Duty on the Big Four. Since the electric bells for danger signals have proven a failure for the Big Four here, it is announced that the Ninth street bell is to stay, but it is to be operated on the order of ringing a dinner bell. A wire is to be run from the Ninth street bell to the eighth street flagman's post and when he sees a train coming he is to wave the white flag with one hand and pull the wire with the other.

At the junction of the Big Four and Pan Handle roads, where a watch tower and interlocking switches and signals are to be put in, the warchman will be required to operate the wires for the electric bells at the crossing of the Big Four and Pan Handle at Columbus and Ohio avenues.—Anderson Bulletin.

The Council will no doubt see that our people are properly protected at the crossings. The electric signal bell is a dead failure as can be proven by any one who will watch its operation for a short time.

When a fast train conies along there is not time for a loaded wagon to pass over the crossing from the time the electric bell begins ringing until the train reaches the spot. Yesterday it was just eleven seconds from ths time the alarm bell began to ring until the fast train went thundering by. That would not have done a thing to a man and team starting ac oss as the bell began to ring and when it was too late to stop except knock them into kingdom come in jiffy. Our people are not so anxious to "pass on," so let them be properly protected.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only OLe way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect heariug, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inllamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed -condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

HINTS TO FATHERS.

MADISON C. PETERS' ADVICE FOR TRAINING BOYS.

Teach Them to Be Honest, Modest and

Truthful—Consideration For the Feelings of Others—Decision of Character. Victory Comes to tlie Persevering.

The tender twig is bent in childhood, the spirit is then shaped, the principles are theu implanted and the whole character formed. What to teach a boy is an important question. Divine wisdom, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" harmonizes with the proverb, "As the twig is bent the tree inclines.

Accuracy.

The great want of Americans is accuracy. Some men live in a kind of mental telescope, through whose magnifying medium every anthill is turned into a mountain. Geueral Pope was renowned among his soldiers for his exaggerated rhetoric. In one of the engagements a private was mortally wounded. A chaplain knelt beside him, and opening his Bible at random read about Samson's slaughter of the Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. Ho had not quite finished when the poor fellow interrupted him by saying: "Hold on, chaplain, don't deceive a dying man. Isn't the name of John Pope signed to that?" If a man is to be accurate, he must be taught to be accurate in his childhood. Let your boy with the first lispings of speech be taught to speak accurately on all subjects, be they trivial or important, and your boy when he becomes a man will scorn a lie. Teach your boy to be sober, honest, modest and truthful in his observations. By example show him the strict letter of the fact and do not deal in the marvelous. If your boy has committed a fault or carelessly broken anything and takes the full blame upon himself and makes no excuses about it, that boy will make every inch a man. Encourage him to tell the truth. Don't whip him because, like a little man, he tells the truth. Whip him—ho may lie the next time to escape the whipping.

Consideration For the Feelings of Others. Teach him to have coi.isiderat*m for the feelings of others, to say not a word, to give not a look, that would cn.uso unnecessary pain. We can understand how that a boy who had never been taught better might carry torpedoes in his pocket and delight in throwing them at the feet of pas&crsbj, but we cannot understand how a man who was well instructed as a boy could do such a thing. And yet there are men who carry torpedoes all their lives and tako great pleasure in tossing them at peoplo and enjoy a fiend: sh delight in seeing them jump.

Decision of Character.

Early instill into your boy's mind decision of character. Undocided, purposeless boys make namby pamby men, useless to themselves and everybody else. They are tossed to and fro, carried about by every wind of doctrine. As Dryden puts it: "Everything by starts and nothing long."

Teach your boy to havo an object in view, the backbone to go after it and then stick. How many men slumber in nameless graves or wander through a life more than wasted because they had not a worthy purpose, a patient energy for its accomplishment, a resolution that never flinches, nevor flies tho track.

There is nothing that improves a boy's character so much as putting him on his honor. I havo little hope for the boy who is dead to tho feeling of honor. The boy who needs to bo continually looked after is on the road to ruin. If treating your boy as a gentleman does not make him a gentleman,, nothing else will.

Independence.

Let your boy wait upon himself as much as possible. The more he has to depend upon himself the more manly a little fellow he will show himself. Self dependence will call out his energies, bring into exercise his talents. Pythagoras says, "Ability and necessity dwell near each other." It is not in the hothouse, but on tho rugged Alpine cliffs, where tho storms beat most violentiy, that the toughest plants grow. So is it with man. The wisest charity is to help a boy to help himself. Let him never hear any language but this, "You have your own way to make, and it depends on your own exertion whether you starve or live."

Perseverance.

Lucky for the boy who can say, "In the bright lexicon of youth there is 110 such word as fail.'' Out upon weathercock men, who change with every wind! Give us men like mountains, who ohange the winds. You cannot at one dash fly into eminence. You must hammer it out by steady and rugged blows. A man oan get what he wants if he pays the price—persistent, plodding, perseverance. Never doubt the result. Victory will be yours. Thero may be ways to fortune shorter than the old, dusty highway, but the stanoh men in the oomniuuity all go on this road. If you want to do anything, don't stand back shivering and thinking of the cold. Jump in and scramble through. Push and pull.

Courtesy to Children.

Many parents are wanting in courtesy to their children. They speak to them roughly, violently and insultingly, and BO inflict painful wounds on their self respect Do not needlessly refer to their faults and follies. Be considerate. Never allude to the personal defects, to which they are already keenly sensitive. Do not needlessly interfere with their plans and impose on them unreasonable and fruitless sacrifices. Find as little fault with your children as possible and praise ihefca as muoh as you can.

I have been afflicted for twenty years with stomach trouble of tlie severest nature. Would have seasons of the severest suffering from one to two months at a time. Between these times of suffering was never longer than three months. There was never any time that I was entirely free from misery more or less. These spells of great suffering would sometimes come on with sickness and vomiting, and other times would come on in form of rheumatism, but would finally center itself in my stomach. I have doctored with a great many physicians, but none of them could tell me what the trouble was. I was unable to get relief until I got LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. It is now sixty days since I began taking this medicine, and am now for the first time in twenty years free from pain and misery. I am compelled to say it is a blessing to a poor man.
