My foot and limbs were badly swollen, and I was indeed in a serious eon when a gentleman directed my attention to Dr. Miles’New Heart l ure, and said that Ids sister, who had been attiicted with heart disease, had been cured by the remedy, and was again a strong, healthy woman. I purchased a Dottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than an hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided improvement in thecircuiation of my blood. When I had taken three doses l could move my ankles, something I had not done fur months,and my limbs had been swollen so long that they seemed almost putritied.

SPANISH TREASURE TROVE.

Native* Who Know Where It f§ Eager to Tell Their Secrets. The inhabitants of Stonehaven, Enp., have been not a little excited of late by the receipt of communications from benevolent Spaniards offering to point out the spot where a larjfe amount of buried treasure is to be found. The last of these letters, which is signed “Cesar de l ordoba,” and dated Barcelona, is really a remarkable document. Cesar offers to reward the "troubles'* of ihe gentleman addressed -a bailie of Stonehaven— with “the third portion of the money hided ' on certain conditions. To begin with, he must "never make to nobody the least revelation concerning' the secret which 1 am trusting you." Secondly, “you must come to Spain to take my daughter and a respectable lady, who ought to accompany her till your country, where my daughter will give you a topographic plane of the spot where the money is hided." The payment of traveling expenses for the daughter and duenna is insisted upon as a preliminary, as Cesar is not in a position to carry Ids philanthropy to such a pitch. In fact, his position seems to be somewhat peculiar, for he adds: "I cannot receive your letters directly because I am too watched, you must have the goodness to answer me at the address of a friend of mine whom 1 fully trust.” The writer adds that the treasure amounts to 840,000 pesetas (£33,000) in gold money and French hank notes. We cannot honestly say that the offer sounds altogether reassuring. It amounts practically to fids: That the speculator has to plant down some 4'"00 on the chance of clearing £11,000, aud take u journey into Spain into the bargain. The investment might possibly appeal to those sanguine amateurs who plunge into theatrical management. \

Emperor William Devlacs a Scheme of Protection Against Hnmb Throwere. There are fashions in everything, including the protection of prominent persons when they are on parade. The most recent regulation 'concerning the protection of life in Europe, says the New York Sun, is that of Kaiser William. Some time ago there was a good deal of socialistic agitation in Berlin, and it was claimed that the anarchists would attempt to throw a bomb at the emperor as he drove through the city on ids way to a review. The route of the carriage was lined with policemen, and hack of them was the customary mob of sightseers on either side of the way. The kaiser gave orders that as the royal coach approached the police, who had heretofore always stood with their hacks to the crowd, so as to salute the celebrities as they passed, should turn their backs to the street, face the mob and step buck two paces from the front line of the crowd. It was further ordered that the crowd should be kept on tlie sidewalks, so that the carriage would be at some distance from the line of sightseers on either side. These orders were carried out, and they appealed so strongly to the Russian ambassador that lie communicated them to St. Petersburg and they have now been adopted by the Russian police. By keeping the crowd well back from the carriage considerable motion was made necessary on the part of an anarchist to throw a liomb successfully, and. as the police were numerous, his actions would be seen by one of the guards if those functionaries were at all wide awake. The Russian police, in addition to adopting these measures, absolutely surround the carriage of the emperor with horsemen.

A BENEVOLENT BARON.

HU Hlg Winnings on the Turf Distributed

Among the Poor.

Rather more than a year since, says the London Telegraph, we gave a list of the charitable donations bestowed by Baron de Hirsch in 18M upon the hospitals, homes and benevolent institutions which he had selected ns recipients of the large sums of money won

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

S. T. McConnkll, of the law firm of McConnell & Jenkins, of Logansport, one of the best-known attorneys in northern Indiana, fell from a stone wall at his residence in that city and broke his leg. besides being badly bruised. He had just returned from Nantucket, Mass., where he spent the

by him upon the turf in public stakes summer with his family.

in 1891 and 1893. In the first of these years the baron won about S3.">,000 and in the second year about 8175.000, ineluding such small items as moneys paid to the second in selling races and the prizes attaching to second aud third places in general races. Altogether the sum amounted to about 3210,000, and this munificent gift represented the baron's gross winnings in public stakes, from which no deduction was made for the expense of training a large stud of horses, for traveling charges, forfeits, stakes, jockey’s fees and other items comprised in the large and swollen bills with which owners of race horses are but too familiar. It was universally admitted that the fortunate owner of the famous mare La Fleche, by whom the greater portion of the above named large sum was won, had displayed great generosity in giving away all his winnings for charitable purposes without subtracting his expenses. What is to be said, however, when, as in the present instance, the example set by the baron in 1893 is not only followed but duplicated in 1894? During the racing season ich close in November last Baron do Ilirseh’s horses won in public stakes about $37,500. This seemed to him, and to the kindly almoner through whom in both cases the baron's bounty has flowed, to be but a small sum for distribution in comparison with the noble contribution to London charities made in the previous year. Under these circumstances the baron remarked that, without establishing a precedent, he had made up his mind to double the sum that hisgross winnings amounted to in 1893, and accordingly he drew a check for 375,000. which he handed to his friend for distribution. It was his wish that this sum should be divided among London hospitals and charitable institutions, and 306,500 was thus disposed of, the balance remaining having been reserved for sundry

smaller calls.

A Man Who Once Thought He Would Be Brave In t* Train liold-L'p. “I used to think that it was a marvelous exhibition of cowardice for a train load of passengers to quietly submit to being held up by one or two train robbers, and 1 used almost to hope for the chance of showing what I would do if the command ‘hands up!’ should be given on a coach in which I was traveling,” said a Louisville drummer. recently. “The chance came, and my ideas underwent a rapid change. It was a Little (took <K: Fort Smith train. It was near Ozark, I think, when a man appeared at the door and sang out: ‘Hold up your hands, everybody!’ Before I had time to do what I thought 1 would do two shots were fired almost simultaneously. The first came from the pistol of the conductor, John Kane, of Little Rock, a brave man, who drew and filed the moment he realized what tlie trouble was. The second shot was fired by the train robber, and Kane fell dead. The brakeman then fired, and a second later he fell with a bullet through his loins, which crippled him for life. Since that experience I think a man ia a fool instead of a coward who docs not promptly throw up his hands under such circumstances. Provided all the passengers were armed, one or two robbers could not fight the whole lot, but as a rule only a few are armed, and even the first man to take hostile action would probably bite the dust. One of the robbers was wounded by either Kane or the brakeman aud his companions were captured by the trail of blood. I was happy to attend their hanging at Clarksville, Ark., a few months latei’.”—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Nearly Half a Million In Money—Many Precautions Taken Against Lightning. St. Paul's cathedral is insured, says "Spare Moments.” Out of the total proceeds of the fabric fund, for keeping the building in repairs, about 36,00'.! a year -31,250 is expended on a policy of insurance against lire. The church is insured to the extent of $495,000. So fur as human precautions are of avail, the cathedral is secure against lightning on a scientific plan which was suggested by the Royal society, as tar back us 1769. The seven iron scrolls which support the ball and cross, are connect! d with other rods, used as conductors, which unite them with several large iron bars descending obliquely to the stonework of the lantern, and connected by an iron ring, with four other iron bars to the leaden covering of the jrreat cupola, a distance of fifty feet. Thence the communication is continued downward by the rainwater pipes to the lead-covered roof, and thence again by leaden water pipes which pass down into the earth, partly through iron, and partly through lead. On the clock tower, looking down Ludgate Hill, a bar of iron connects the pineapple ornamentation at the top with the iron staircase which leads up to it inside, and thence to the lead on the roof of the church. The boll tower at the northwest angle is similarly protected. By these means the metal used in the building is made available for the work of conductors, the metal itself being employed merely for that purpose, being exceedingly small in quantity when compared with tlie bulk of the fabric which it serves to secure.

AN ARMLESS NIMROD.

Hag* Mor« Cam© Tima Any Other Ilnnter In the Same County. An armless Nimrod is the wonder of the people and the envy' of the sportsmen of Bucks county, says tlie Philadelphia Record. He is John Simon, of l^ion Hill, ami his prowess is sumothing marvelous. Simon’s arms were ground off above the elbows in machinery a few years ago, but his love of hunting spurred his ingenuity, and he overcame his seeming insurmountable obstacle. He straps his single-bar-rel, breech-loading hammerless gun to his right arm, and when ho sights game lie swings the piece over the stump of his left arm. takes quick aim and tires, generally with telling effect. His mode of loading is as uniqe as his shooting. Hi: carries the shells in his hut, and when he wants one bows low, drops his hat on the ground, pulls out the empty shell with his teeth and in a similar manner loads, then pushing his head into his hat to rc-cover his head. Despite his affliction, Simon has done some of the liest shooting in Bucks county the past year, his record standing: Sixteen opossums, five pheasants, five dozen blackbirds, thirtyseven rabbits and twenty-one quail.

A Fflrociollt Bird. The enormous strength of the condor is only equaled by his voracity and boldness. This immense bird often (iounceb upon small animuis, but, irom the shape and bluntness of his claws, he is unable to carry anything very heavy, so he contents himself with fixing it against the ground with one of his claws, while with tlie other aud his powerful beak he rends it to pieces. Gorged with food, tlie bird then becomes incapable of flight and may be approached, but any attempt at cap ture is furiously resisted.

Tramping: for » Purpose.

An amusing story is told of the late Prof. Henry Morley. Some years ago when the "slumming" boom was oeenpying general attention he was accosted one day by a peculiarly emaciated and ragged individual, who solicited aid in moving terms. Prof. Morley, who was never proof against such petitions. responded with a silver coin. “Thank you, Prof. Morley; Pm much obliged,” said the man. “You know

The Hamilton county teachers' institute held its session at Noblesville. Judge Ellison, of Anderson, lectured the other night and Dr. Rice, of New York, entertained the teachers the next

night.

Oliver Miller and Fanny Tyne, deaf mutes, eloped to Anderson from Stout and were married by Elder Clifford. The ceremony was of an hour's length, in writing, and was witnessed by a number of people. About 300 representatives of the religious societies of the state met at Indianapolis and organized tlie Good Citizenship League of Indiana. A STRAN'CER borrowed a bicycle from a Goshen man, the other day, to use for a "few minutes.” The guileless lender is still waiting. Elkhart is rapidly becoming famous for tlie numerous baby cabs that throng the streets. Tm: Kokomo ball team carries a little Negro mascot dressed in a red suit of clothes. Silas Martin committed suicide by shooting hyiself at Jeffersonville. Ki» nancial reverses. A young man of Walkertown claims to have killed twelve rattlesnakes in ten minutes the other day.

At Jeffersonville, while boarding a passenger train, James Rose, aged 14, fell under the wheels, and lost both legs and his right arm. The Kosciusko County Teachers’institute held its annual session at Warsaw. Pfof. C. H. Gurney, of Hillsdale college, Michigan; Hon. L. W. Royse, of Warsaw. Prof. L. W. Fairchild, of Angola, were the lecturers. The enrollment of the Lawrence county institute, conducted by County Superintendent G. M. Homan, has reached nearly two hundred. The instructors are Craig, of INirduc, and Mrs. Kate Durow-Gilbert, of N. I. N. college, of this place. While attending the M. E. Sunday school picnic at Brook's lake, near Winchester. Jintson Caffey, aged thirteen. went into the lake to bathe and was drowned. At Ft. Wayne, Henry Vodde, a tif-teen-year-old lad, was almost instantly killed the other evening by falling under a Wabash passenger train while trying to run across ahead of the locomotive. The other day a resident of Lafayette kiad another man arrested fur provoke, and then paid the tine himself. When a Franklin minister called for converts two eminent thugs went forward on a wager of one dollar. They acted very unruly and were led out. A Goshen man has a sand hill crane on exhibition, and calls it a "raio

Anderson is anxious to have a superior court. At Indianapolis Mrs. Ida Spring was stung by a tarantula concealed in a bunch of bananas. She will recover. A South Bend man recently shot a buzzard that measured eight feet from tip to tip. The New Albany militia company was paid 31,360 for services during tlie miners’ strike in Sullivan county. Hon. Delano E. Williamson, of Greeneastle, was nominated for joint representative by the democrats for the district composed of Clay, Montgomery and Putnam counties. Diphtheria prevails in Waterloo. There are twenty-six Jewish families in Anderson. A Richmond druggist advertises his soda as “colder than charity.” Grandma He.ndkh.rbon,' of Vincennes, waltzed at the celebration of her ninetieth birthday anniversary. At Muncie Charles Rutherford, aged 10, fell 75 feet from abridge into White river without injury. Edinburg has already organized a football team. Shell workers got in their work at the old settlers' picnic at Burlington.
