THERE were about three hundred Indiana teachers attended the National Teachers Association which met at Denver.

FARMERS say that the recent rains have spoiled about all the "nubbins." Cows will have to depend on something else next winter.

THE deficit in the treasury for the first twenty-three days of the present fiscal year is $13,231,415,24. A good start is being made for another §45,000,000 short by the end of the year.

ENGLISH capitalists have $91,000,000invested in American breweries which pa^d 9 per cent interest on the investment in gold or $8,100,000. The people who pay

beer bill however, do not complain much. THE outlook seems brighter for the Cuban patriots. If they are able to hold out through October it is thought they will be successful. The insurgents number about 25,000, while the Spaniards 60,000. Most Americans wish the Cubans success.

WHEAT went up 4% cents in Chicago Wednesday, but dropped a little the next day. With the general failure all over the country and the small supply on hand, wheat will probably go to $1 per bushel. The great trouble with Hancock county farmers is, they will not have much of it to sell. "Coix" HARVEY is getting the best of Horr in their Chicago debate. The Indianapolis Journal, which bitterly opposes Coin's proposition, in its headlines this morning said: "Coin pushed the fighting and Horr was badly winded at the close of the exhibition. The sound money talker refuses to be interrupted mid tells his opponent to shut up." At the close of the debate Mr. Horr asked that it be carried over until Saturday. That is the second time he has asked time. Harvey is thoroughly posted, has his facts well in hand and ia up and a coming all the time.

WM. D. BYNUM will not have a large number of converts to his financial views, on account of his recent speeches. One place there were but 50 out to hear him, and at Rushville Thursday night there were only a hundred who listened to his tedious address. How the mighty have fallen! The Republicans never did think much of Bynum's statesmanship, and now with about two-thirds of the Democrats going back on him, it leaves him with a slim following. Bynum, who was a few years ago the popular speaker from Tammany Hall to Denver, Col., and a mighty man with his party, now talks to only a few dozen people right here at home. Whether Bynum changed his views in order to stand in with Cleveland and get an office or not, the people think he did, and as they have no use for that kind of a man, he has lost his grip in Indiana.

THURSDAY City Engineer Will Cleary condemned two car loads of sewer tile which|had been shipped here by contractor James Fry, for Spring street. Without speaking in reference to the merits of Mr. Fry's case, we are indeed glad to know that Greenfield now has a city engineer who has the nerve and the honesty to condemn any and all material that is not A No. 1 and first'class, such as the specifications call for. As a rule too many engineers allow themselves to be improperly influenced and stand in with concractors so that the tax payers are robbed. We have it from the councilmen that Mr. Cleary looks after the interests of the city, and sees that all jobs are done strictly according to the plans and specifications and with the kind and amount of material called for. No substitutes go. He has started out on the right track and by always sticking to that course, he will never want for a job in his line, at the highest prices. Honest, competent men always command the choicest positions and the best salaries.

IN some counties of the State the tax payers of the county have got on to the fact that they are being systematically robbed by some of the bridge companies. The Indianapolis Journal shows the way A In which it is done. It says

The plan of operation involves the division of the State into sections, one of $ fwbifeh is apportioned to each company, with the understanding that it is to have all the contracts for bridge building in the county within that section. An ap,'pearance of competition is made by the other companies filing bids which are purposely and knowingly higher than those of the favored company, which are still high enough to afford a big profit.

By thus dividing the field and practically /stifling competition ,each company gets a good slice of business at its own prices.

No doubt some of the County Comrnissioners are in the deal, but it can be made successful even without their co-opera tion. It is really a trust to prevent competition, to keep up the cost of bridge building and to fleece the people.

The Indiana Bridge Company, of Muncle, has had the cinch in Hancock county. We always wondered how they got about all the contracts, but it is new easily understood.

A WOMAN'S NECK BROKEN.

Mrs. Tlieo Krizeiuline Thrown From a Wagon ami Killed. Yesterday we gave an account of the sad death of Mrs. Brizendine near Eden, but not being able to get direct communication with Eden, we were unable to get all the facts in the case. The facts are as follows: Wednesday, Theodore Brizendine, who is a poultry buyer, came to this place with a l^ad of poultry. After disposing of it. he proceeded to get drunk and started home about 10 o'clock in the evening. His wife and children were at the home of T. J. Roberts, where they intended staying all night. When Brizendine got there he made his wife get out of bed and go home with him. When they were at the cross roads one mile south of Eden, his team, a pony and a two-year old colt, got frightened and he claimes he could not control them. He says that Tom Huey tried to pass him at the cross roads which frightened his horses. His wife, who was instantly killed, was ^thrown through the canvas which covered the wagon. Her child is still in a critical condition and can not ive. The above sad accident was the result of whiskey, which, according to statistics, causes mofe trouble and misery than any other one thing in the world.

And rew Eakes, of Pendleton, was here today. He says he has taken two of the children of his dead sister, Mrs. Brizendine, to raise. Mrs. Wm. Huey is now caring for the baby which was badly hurt, and it will probably recover, although the doctor says it is liable to be a cripple for life, as its spine is injured. From the little 13 year old girl's story it seems that her father was going about as fast as the horses could go when he turned the corner and her mother and the baby were thrown out. Later statements show that Brizendine was very drunk when the accident occurred.

TO STOP THE WASTE OF NATURAL. GAS

Such Enormous Quantities Allowed to Es. cape That the State Gas Inspector Calls a Halt. Special to The Indianapolis News.

KOKOMO, Ind., July 26.—State Natural Gas and Oil Inspector J. C. Leach, of this city, is going after the gas companies and manufacturers in the gas. territory, demanding that the unlawful waste of the precious fuel shall stop. This week Prof. Leach addressed a circular letter to every gas company and manufacturer in the natural gas area, warning them that the gas suppiy was on the decline and that the severest economy must be exercised in its use. Inspector Leach says that many millions of feet of gas is wasted every day through defective pipe lines, some of the tributary lines, leaking at every joint. ''Were I to ignite all the gas I found escaping," said he, "It would illuminate the entire gas territory,making night as light as day." Conforming to Inspector Leach's order, the Indiana Natural Gas Company, that supplies Kokomo and Chicage, has a force of men inspecting its five hundred miles of pipe line, and the other companies will do likewise. Professor Leach does not fear an immediate collapse of the gas supply, but wants, through economical use, to make it last as long as possible.

In many of the lines over Hancock county there are large leaks in fact, one or two years supply has probably been wasted already, but it should be stopped short right now. Hancock county hag a fine supply of gas which has not been so extensively drawn on as the field in other counties, and it therefore bids fair to last longer than the gas does elsewhere. Let it be economized, however, and not wasted.

There will be a grand Masonic picnic or celebration in Cross ley'a beautiful grove near McCordsville on Saturday, Aug. 10, 1895, under the auspices of the Oakland and McCordsville lodges, NOB. 140 and 501, F. & A.

The Warrington Blojrele Races.

The Warrington bicycle races Thursday were not governed by L. A. W. racing rules, but by entirely new rules—the Warrington rules. There were twelve starters, and after all had taken their places there was quite a controversy, as each rider was anxious to find out whether or not there was any limit as to how many he could throw and as many other advantages as he could get.

Ora Starbuck, of New Castle, took the first place, Charles Foley, of Greenfield, second, and a Mr. Newby, of Spiceland, third. Mr. Starbuck has followed racing as a business for the past two years and used a New Castle Speeder machine, starting with the low gear and finishing with the high gear. Mr. Foley crowded him very close for first place with a Clipper maohloe. Ollie 8helby was making a clow will tot third place but was thrown.

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. Schoonmaker of 80X 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

richer blood to make them sound and active, and to keep them so. The nerves and brain need nourishment.

The power of refreshing and reviving every part of the languid body is what makes Paine's celery compound the marvelous strengthener and invigorator of this century. It is this same capacity to recruit the worn-out nervous, system, to rejuvenate 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 jaded nervous energy. It sends new blood coursing through the veins. It makes people well!
