A very annoying error, for which the printer is entirely responsible was made in the advertisement of the Boston Store in our last issue. It should have read “$1. 50 for $1.00,” but the printer made it read $1.50 for $1.50—an expression without sense or point. The Boston Store makes the point that you could and can get at this business house $1.50 worth of goods for $1.00. To use the language •Of the proprietor, the Boston Store “is always to the front, to save money for customers always the cheapest for good, honest goods.” We much regret that the error was made and desire our readers to fully understand that we are solely to blame and wish this to be taken for correction

of the error.

A newspaper has 5,000 readers for every 1,000 subscribers. A merchant who puts out 1,000 handbills gets possibly 300 to 500 people to read them that is, if the boy who is trusted to distribute them, does not chuck them under a side walk. The handbill costs as much as a half column advertisement in the home newpaper. All the women and girls, and half the men and boys read the advertisements. Results the merchant who uses the newspaper has 3,500 more readers to each 1,000 ofits paper readers. There is no estimating the amount of business that advertising does bring to the merchant, but each dollar invested in advertising brings to the investor from $10 to $50 worth of business, there can be no doubt.

Felix Albin has moved into the residence recently vacated by B. F.

Bruner.

Grant Newton and Milt. Crawley were before the Cadi as plain drunks, on Saturday. Mr. E. A. Hamilton expects to build a new residence, on Bloomingstreet, this season. A fine building lot in a good neighborhood, very cheap. For particulars call at this office. Fred Catherwood was here from Indianapolis, the first of the week, visiting his mother. One of our young business men is booked for marriage in the near future—we are requested to mention no names. Mrs. Sarah Eliza Hayden, colored, died on April 7, of paralysis, in the 58 th year of her age. The remains were taken to Lebanon, Ky., for

burial.

A young man named Cox, residing east of this city, came to town “a ttyin’,” Friday evening he had a fish bone in his throat and he wanted Dr. Bence to snare it out. Walter Albaugh went to Marion, Indiana, to attend the marriage of Frank Cole, son of Rev. L. F. Cole, formerly of this city. The marriage took place on Tuesday last. The latest divorce suit docketed in Putnam Circuit Court is George Dyer, Jr. vs. Nellie Dyer. He charges cruel treatment. The parties live at Bainbridge and w T ere married in 1884. We are pleased to note the fact that Mr. E. E. Posey has been appointed General Passenger Agent of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad; he is a wide-awake railroad man, thoroughly conversant with the passenger business, alive to the interests of M. & O. R. R., and the appointment is a most fitting one we extend congratulations.

J. W. Hodge, of Warren township, has returned from Idaho. Mrs. Calvert returns to Charleston, Ills., to make it her residence. Miss Flora Coffman, of Bainbridge, has returned from Chicago, after an absence of nearly a year. Strong Catherwood, who has been spending the winter in Mexico and Texas, for the benefit of his health, is reported to be much better. President John and Dean Gobin have been attending the meetings of of the Northeast Indiana Conference, at Bluffton. H. S. Renick and M. J. Beckett went to Buchanan, Mich., on Tuesday, to look after the Rocker Folding Bed business. “A curious thinR," said Tommy Kajoncs, “I notice it day alter day. I pet so awfully tired of work, but never pet tired of play.” Mrs. E. A. Hamilton gave a farewell reception on Friday evening, in honor of Miss Watts, who goes to South America, as a missionary. Tho residence of John T. Craig, at Indianapolis, was broken into by theives, on Saturday night, and he was robbed of $49.62 in hard cash. The Terre Haute Mail says: Another fool girl has set the scandal lovers’ tongues wagging by eloping with a man old enough to be her grandfather. Bessie Katt, the pretty eighteen year old daughter of a north Ninth street resident, skipped out Wednesday night with Zachariah Evans, a butcher at Third and Walnut streets, who is flfty-flveyears old, and married him at Greeneastle. Some day the fool-killer will break loose in this community and there will be such a loss of life that the undertakers will be taxed to their utmost to bury the dead. He ought to make his appearance before any more silly girls have a chance to

elope.

The Bedford Mail says: Col. C. C. Matson and F. M. Trissel have been sparring at intervals since court convened. Trissell represents the Breyfogle and Winstandley interests, and Col. Matson some of their antagonists. The colonel has been trying to get an order of the court for the sale of the property of the Bedford Quarries Co., to satisfy a judgment for $<i000 in favor of the widow of James McCain, who was killed while in the employ ot the company. His efforts are likely to prove successful. Of course the company will n^t allow its property to be sold, but an order will force it to raise the amount of the judgment, which is quite aserious undertaking at these times.

OUR MINISTER S WIFE. Same Things Which She Knows

and'Tells.

The posftion occupied by the minister's wife enables her to hear many things of great interest, and people are always curious to talk with lier. As she is sure to relate facts just as they are, it makes her conversation all the more important. Mrs. Rev. W. B. Worthing, of West Berlin, Vt., is a most charming and estimable lady. She has lately been besieged to such an extent regarding a certaint incident, that she writes the following letter for the public

benefit:

“Last March I had the grippe which left my stomach in such a condition that it would not digest anything, I could noteat even baby food without the greatest distress. My nerves were in a fearfully weak condition, and 1 could sleep but little. I was also full of rheumatism from head to foot, and ached awfully night and day. 1 was in a terrible state and feared I should never get well. 1 tried physicians and medicines but got no better. Having heard the most astonishing reports of the good done by Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try that this time instead of physicians.

DEFECTS IN CAR TRUCKS. One Serlou® Dtfllrulty 1® Found Where the

Track® Are Curved.

“The degree of perfection attained in mechanical production is wonderful,” said a mechanic to a writer for the Pittsburgh Dispatch. “In almost every line of medianical inventions you see faults and difficulties overcome which make it seem nearly impossible to advance further. Viewed in this light, the imperfections in the construction of our railroad car trucks are strangely inconsistent, for they are palpably at variance with our higli attainment in mechanical construction. I refer to the custom, which has never been improved upon since railroading began, of using wheels securely fastened to rigid axles. It would seem that, on such an all-important matter as this, some improvements would be made, but there has been none. The running gear of cars, as now constructed, is only adapted for use on straight tracks. But, as there must be curves on roads, the trucks are simply forced around them. It is said that

Part of this Mammoth Stock has been shipped to Greencastle, Ind., and placed in the’large store room on Indiana st., in the old Banner Times Building, and will bo sold to the people of Putnam county, as directed by the Insurance Company, at less than appraised value. This great Fire Sale of Men’s, Boys’, Ladies’, Misses' ami Children’s Shoes will commence Thursday, April 19, and will continue until Saturday, April 28 inclusive, making this the greatest ten day sale ever inaugurated in Greehcastle, Ind.

He's Not O. K. On Sunday morning about two o’clock, as report has it, a party of young men were “skylarking” in and about DePauw University grounds, when O. K. Jones, a student, hailing from Connersville, fell and fractured his left thigh, in attempting to jump over the net on one of the tenis courts. The fracture is about midway between the knee and the hip joint. Dr. G. C. Smythe was called in to give the necessary surgical at tention.

SIRS. REV. W. B. WORTHING. “I commeui e 1 ts u and am happy to say that the results most pleasantly surprised me. I received help from the first dose in the digestion of my food. This I know surely, for 1 left it off for one meal and plainly noti^ed the difference. “After taking three bottles my digestion was even better than before I had the grippe, and my nerves were entire ly restored to their normal condition. My rheumatism left me and I had no more pains at all. I was entirely cured of all ray troubles, and all through the aid of Dr. Greene s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It is a wonderful medicine, and 1 advise everyone who is sick or suffering from any cause to take it. It cured me and I am confident it will cure others.” W hat a remarkable inducement to take this medicine. It is the most certain cure known for weakness, nervousness, indigestion, constipation and all blood and nerve diseases. It is the best thing for kidney and liver complaints. Take it now, in the spring, when you can be cured quickest. Your blood de m&nds a spring medicine, and Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the best because it is purely vegetable and harmless and always cures. It is the discovery of our most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 34 Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He charges nothing for consultation, either personally or by letter. If you live too far to call, write him.

H E best investment in real estate is to keep build* ings well painted. Paint protects the house and saves repairs. You sometimes want to sell—many a good house has remained unsold for want of paint. The rule should be, though, “the best paint or

none.” That means Strictly Pure White Lead

You cannot afford to use cheap paints. To be sure of getting Strictly Pure White Lead, look at the brand ; any of these are safe: “Anchor,” “Southern,” “ Eckstein,” “ Red Seal,” “Kentucky,” “Collier.” For Colors.—National Lead Co.’s Pure White Lead Tinting Colors.

is due to the strain to which the wheels , are subjected. In making a curve the outside track is longer than the inside j one. Now, with a wheel on each track | and fastened immovably to the axle, | both wheels must make the same num- I ber of revolutions. In rounding a | curve how is the inside wheel, which has a much shorter distance to travel, ! to make an equal number of revolu- | tions with the outside wheel? It is ! done in this way: The inside wheel j slips upon the inner or shorter rail, while the outside one covers the long- , er distance. At the same time the in- j clination of the track required in mak- j ing curves throws most of the load j upon the wheel that is slipping, caus- i ing a great strain upon both wheel and axle. It has been computed that | this strain is equal to double that of j the rolling pressure on a straight track. To meet this the axle is made much thicker between the wheels than at the journals, where all the weight of the car and load is carried. Though it lias been long coming I think the day will finally dawn when these defects in car trucks will be overcome.”

Restoring Silver.

From the New York Recorder.

This is important news which comes from London in regard to the silver question. The Chamber of Commerce of the British metropolis, at the request of the merchants and others engaged in the East India and China trade, has called the attention of the government to the urgent necessity of taking steps toward reconvening the International Mone-

During the Day* of Kinff lllrhard II., llf'iiry Y1I. and 1'harle® II. As far hack as the reign of Richard II., says the London Spectator, wc find an act for "the punishment of them which cause corruption near a city or great town to corrupt the air” (12 Rich. II., c. 18, A. D. 1388), the preamble of which notes that so much filth “be east and put in ditches and other waters, and also within many other places, » * * that the air there is greatly corrupt and infect, and many maladies and other diseases do daily happen.” This is essentially sanitary legislation. A century later we find an act under tho heading: "Butchers shall kill no beasts within any walled town or Cambridge" (4 Henry VII., c. 8, A. D. 1487). The preamble of this speaks of the “corruptions engendered * * * by reason of the slaughter of beasts and scalding of swine,” the “unclean, corrupt and putrifled waters,” and goes on to the remarkable statement that "in few noble cities and towns, or none within Christendom, * * * the common slaughter house of beasts should be kept * * * within the walls of the same, lest it might engender sickness, unto the destruction of the peo-

ple.”

Under Charles II. the “act for rebuilding the city of London" (19 Charles II. c. 3, A. D. 1067) provides for the "cleansing and scouring of vaults, sinks and common sewers,” and a few

adoption of a plan which shall put an end to the fluctuations in the price of silver that are now bringing so much disaster on the Eastern trade. The meaning of this is that England is beginning to realize that her monometallic policy the banishment of silver from its rightful place as one of the money metals—means the destruction of the vast trade with the great Eastern countries. This condition of affairs was predicted long ago in these columns, but we hardly expected that it would come so soon. The gold Shyloeks, however, have been so merciless in their exactions, they have been so eager in the acquisition of profits which did not justly belong to them, that they have almost forced their victims to the wail of something like bankruptcy. Hence the appeal for the re-assem-bling of the International Conference. The China and East India trade must bo saved from the plague of goldbugs, who are eating out its heart and life. The same causes that are operating to ruin the trade of Eng-

streets and sewers in and about the city of London” (23 and 23 Charles II.

c. 17, A. D. 1670).

We must be just to our ancestors, though they undoubtedly had not much science (and did not use long words ending in “ation"), the idea of health us a matter of public concernment was not foreign to their minds. The difference is that what were sanitary instincts in them have developed into sanitary methods with us.
