THE Allison presidential boom is growing. VERMILLION county has thirty-six divorce cases in the coming term of court.

PRESIDENT J. P. D. John will lecture in English's opera house, Indianapolis, TTriday night, Oct. 4, on the subject, Did man make God, or did God make man? The address will be a criticism of Ingersoll, the deicide.

TIIE Globe Democrat says: This administration has added $162,000,000 to the bonde.1 debt, and it may have to increase this urn $50,000,000 or $100,000,000. No party in this country which increases the d. bt in time of peace can win the next election.

IT was cold again this morning but cold weather terrors are lessoned by the knowledge that Greenfield's gas companies are prepared better than ever this year to take cave of their patrons in the best possible shape. They have each brought in rouie new weils and have an abundance of gas.

GEN. Beuj. Harrison is not out of the presidential race by a large majority. The nominee will probably be Benjamin Harrison if he desires it-, and if not Wm. B. Allison, of Iowa. Both ere able, honest, conservative Western men. The people will elect either one of them in preference to an Eastern gold bug Democrat, ot the Cleveland, Whitney class.

THE Republican State Committee has reopened its headquarters at No. 17 Journal Building, Indianapolis, and Chairman, ^Gowdy and Secretary, Seeds, willgbe found there daily from now on. Republicans and those expecting to affiliate with them are invited to call, when in the Capital City and are assured of a hearty welcome.

THE Odd Fellows Grand lodge at their recent meeting, closed the door of subordinate lodges against saloon'keepers by a vote of 147 to 32. It took 13o votes to carry it. The same questions had come up every year for the past 5 years, but this time it was carried and settled. There is a growing sentiment all over the country against the saloon business. It drags too many men down to degredat'on and ruin.

GREENFKLI) has been lortunate in not having any serious epidemic of sickness for a number of years. There have been mumps, measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria in the city at various times, but the prompt and effective action of the Board of Health has always confined the cases to a limited number. Now that a few cases of diphtheria have appeared the Board have very promptly instituted a strict quarantine, and we believe the disease will not spread. All citizens quarantined should obey the law to the letter, as it will lessen the danger of the disease spreading. We congratulate the city on its excellent Health Board. They will enforce quarantines if it takes a police officer to do it and that is the proper idea. The lives of other children should not be put in jeopardly by the careless, thoughtless conduct of those who unfortunately have dangerous diseases. Let all good citizens back the Board in their good work.

AT a recent meeting of a number of representative businessmen, steps were taken to secure some fact relative to the railroad interests of our city. It can easily be demonstrated that a cross railroad would pay here and pay big. It is a clear case of mutual benefit. The owners and opperators of the road would make big money and it would be of vast advantage to our city in a business point of view. Cheaper freight rates and a more direct route to the lakes for grain would be secured and itjwould elevate the price of wheat and corn from one to two cents a bushel which would be a big thing for the farmers. The business men of Greenfield are unanimous in their desire for this road and propose putting forth an earnest effort and concerted action. It will bring a cross railroad to Greenfield in the year 1896 «ure. Let there be no let up in this matter but let everybody do their level best. Greenfield's star is in the ascendent! May it continue to rise higher and higher.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the lastfovv year3 was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed IOCBI remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven cattarrh to be a constitutional treatment disease and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the -only constitional cure on the market. It taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful, It acts directly on the Ispssblood and mucous surface of the system. fcpfThey offer one hundred dollars for any it fails to cure.

OBITUARY.

Solomon E. Jackson, son of Uriah S. and Mary J. Jackson, was born in Vernon township, Hancock county, Indiana September 14, 1867, died at the residence of his parents in Greenfield, Indiana, September the 25, If 95, aged 28 years and 11 days. He acquired a good education in the common schools of Vernon township and Fortville and afterward attended the Greenfield High school. He began teaching in 1885 at the age of 18 years and taught for 4 successive years, one year being in the Isew Palestine schools. During his vacation he read law, and after successfully passing the required examination in June 1888, was upon arriving at his majority, admitted to the Bar in September of that year. In 1889 was admitted to the practice in the Supreme Court of Indiana and in 1893, was admitted to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States in Washington D. C.

On March 8, ''889 he left Greenfield, in search of a location to practice his chosen profession, going first to Fort Smith Ar kansas. He remained there but a short time, going to Muscogee, Indian Territory, where he opened an office and entered the practice, commanding a good business at once. In July 18b0, a new Court being established at Ardmore, I. T., he removed to that place and was present at the organization of the Court, having opened the first law office in that place. From the beginning he commanded a large and lucrative general practice and in addition was attorney for the following railroad companies:

Atchinsou, Topeka and Sante Fee Gulf, Colorado and Sante Fee Rock Island, 6t. Louis and San Francisco also for the Western Union Telegraph Co. and for the Chickasaw Nation. He had accumulated quite an amount of property, most of which is in real-estate in Ardmore I. T., some being located at Perry and Wynne wood, I. T.

He was married in July 1894, to Alma Edmiston of Gainsville, Texas. He has since continued to reside at Ardmore.

He was a member of the M. E. church and before his failing health deprived him of the privilege, was an active member of the Sunday school, being the teacher of the Bible class, and the organizer of the "Band of Hope" in this city. He WAS a member of the order of Knights of Pythias and I. O. O. F.

In politics he was an active member of the Democratic party and made a number of speeches in Hancock county and also Rush county during the campaign of 1888. Soon after taking up his residence in Ardmore, I. T. he was recognized as a leader of the party, issuing the call for an organization of the party in the five civilized tribes.

He was chosen delegate to the National convention at Chicago, in 1893, and was Secretary of the Committee on Creddentials. He was made a member of the Committee to inform Cleveland and Stephenson of their nominations for the offices of President and Vice-President, and went to New York, where with the other members of the committee the formal notification was made. He represented the Territory on the committee to receive the President and his wife at the inauguration in March 1898. He was strongly endorsed by the Bar and leadiL citizens of the Territory and of his native State for the office of United States District Attorney for Indian Territory, and had it not been for personal relations which had a controlling influence, would have been appointed to the position. Judge Stewart and the deceased were chosen to present to Congress the necessity of dividing the Indian Territory into three judical circuits instead of one, and to their labors was due the success of the measure.

His strongest trait of character was probably his great ability to make* and keep desirable friends. He was approachable at all times and his congenial and buoyant nature drew to him a large circle of admiring associates and acquaintances. This faculty enabled him to make a very valuable acquaintance throughout almost the entire Southwestern United States.

His career measured by time was short, bnt his achievements were such as to be reckoned a great success had he been many years in their accomplishment.

He leaves a wife, father, mother, two brothers and two sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mouru his departure.

The funeral services were conducted at the residence of his parents on State street on Saturday, Sept. 28th, at 10:30 a. m., the Rev. Nethercut of the 1st U. E. church, assisted by the Rev. R. W. Thompson of the Baptist church, officiating. The funeral was in charge of the Knights of Pythias and there was a good representation from the neighboring lodges of Knightstown, Fortville and New Palestine.

E. W. FELT„ V, W. C. DUDDING,

Secretary. President,

Dr. Brown's Advice About Catarrh. Severe colds in the head followed by attacks of catarrh are apt to be common during the early fall months of the year. Constant changes in atmosphere, brisk winds and wet feet are followed by symptoms that indicate a prevalence of this disease. Great care should be taken often these attacks result in pneumonia. I have always felt that an "ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure" In medicine, and that it was wise to heed these warnings. Don't take cold, but if you do, on the first symptoms, obtain from your nearest druggist a jar of Pretzinger's Catarrh Balm and apply it free.ly to the nostrils several times each day, especially before retiring at night. This invaluable preparation I have prescribed for a number of years and have invariably found it most efficacious. The camphors which it carries in large quantities are especially healing for the inflamed and diseased organs of the head. In my general practice I have never known a case of catarrh, no matter of how long standing that this preparation would not cure.

The Price of Gas Raised in Some Cities. The citizens of Portland are raising a howl in consequence of the gas companies advancing the price of gas. The prices has been raised about 33 per cent. The people there are very indignant, as the service is not very good in the winter. Elwood citizens are also kicking on account of a raise in the price of gas. The new rates there are: cook stove $1.65 heaters 84 cents gas jets 15 cents each. These rates are the highest ever known there and there is great discontent. From the above it will be seen that our people are enjoying one of nature's greatest gifts at a very moderate cost. We also have the best of service.

TREMENDOUS CROWDS.

A Rush, A Jam, A Crash.

So many people came to Lee C. Thayer's big sale of Cincinnati bankrupt stock that the doors had to be locked at 10:30 a. m. and thos« in the store waited on before others were let in. There is a tremendous stock of goods and the prices very low. A large number of additional clerks were on and yet no one had time to go to dinner. The sale continues right along.

From the rock-ribbed coast of New England to the vineclad slopes of the Pacific and nowhere else in Hancock county will you find such a stock of first-class Groceries as at the

J^otcss Grocery

We are very careful in our purchases and aim to get only the best goods, such as you can rely on to be strictly pure and wholesome. Do not forget this important factor when in search of first-class Groceries.
