GREENCASTLE, IND., NOV. 3, 1894.

CITY AND COUNTY The much needed rain fell the first of the week. Dr. Neale has returned from a visit to relatives in Canada. Pay your tanes on cr before next Monday, and save penalty, etc. Benjamin H. Blaydes and Nettie E. Moody have been licensed to marry. License to marry has been issued to John H. Epperson and Mary A. Dickerson. Mrs. P. O. Colliver and children have been visiting relatives at Crawfordsville. We do job printing in the best manner and far cheaper than you can get it done elsewhere. William Breeden returned from Windsor, Mo., on Saturday, where he had been visiti Jg his parents for a week or more. The foot ball game at Indianapolis, Saturday, between the Artillery and DePauw elevens, resulted in the defeat of DePauw by a score of 46 to 4. Oh, my! The latest divorce suit docketed in the Putnam Circuit Court is entitled Agnes M. Dorsett vs. Abijah Dorsett. The complaint states that they were married in 1878; that since that time they had lived on the farm of the plaintiff: that the defendant deserted said plaintiff in August last and went to live with his sons, etc., hence the prayer for divorce. Q. C. Moore is attorney for the plaintiff. One of the Republican candidates residing in this county is reported to have told his brother Republicans in Montgomery county, last w T eek, that the Republicans of this county were “fiued'’ to buy a sufficient number of votes to elect part of the Republican county ticket. Of course he prevaricated, or his judgment was warped, but the truth remains that they are willing to descend to corruption and bribery to accomplish their desires. The second volume of the new Standard Dictionary, published by Funk & Wagnalls Co., New York City, is just out. Tne work is a great one, from any point of view —nearly 250 have been engaged in editing the w r ork for the past five years; a host of engravers, printers, pressmen, binders, etc., have been employed in its publication, and the completed book is superior to its predecessors in most respects. Its sale has been phenomenal. The publishers have a mathematician who has figured out that if the copies required to fill the advance orders were laid one on top of the other, the stack would be over three miles high, and laid end to end would make a path over fifteen miles in length. A General Agent startled the publishers of the new Standard Dictionary by an order for two car loads 43,000 pounds of dictionaries, to be sent as soon as Volume II is ready. Those Meet ings. The meeting at Bainbridge, on Friday night, addressed by Greene Smith, w T as one of the best of the campaign. About two hundred Democrats went from here on the special train, and the turn out of people from Bainbridge and neighborhood alone would have filled Ader’s Hall, were the meeting was held, full to overflowing. Major Cullen presided and Mr. Smith’s speech was listened to with attention that demonstrated that the masterly array of facts and pointed way of starting them was appreciated by the audience. On Saturday night at the Court House, a very large audience was out to hear Hon. H. M. Rsndel discuss the issues of the campaign, and notwithstanding the fact that ho has been on the stump almost continuously for a month and hence, pretty thoroughly worn out, he made a speech that instructed and entertained his audience from start to finish. Mr. Randel confined his attention to state and county issues principally, and demonstrated that the best local government and the best laws were the direct results of Democratic supremacy. The work of such speakers is bound to result in good for the cause.

Dues to the Devil.

Regardless ot the ciiarneter of the new 1 ariff Bill, its passage has brought relief to the Treasure situation. Two weeks ago, or for that matter one week ago, the outlook was gloomy. Tne former gold reserve of $100,000,000 had been cut nearly in half. (>aiy a little more tab i $>2,000,000 of gold was left in the Treasury to bea- the weight ot over half a billion of paper money. Tne exports of gold to Europe persistently continued, though tne tin.e had passed at which gold imports usuady set in. The revenue, from custom's duties had fallen away aia mingiyIt was a race for the Treasmy against time. The passage of the bin has changed all this, imported goods have been orde -ed from bond. Gold exports have ceased. Sterling exchange in a day declined almost to the importing point. The Treasury is safe. The gold reserve has been

relieved.

The best thing in the new bill "•om the people’s standpoint is Tree woo 1 and cheaper woolen clothing. The eductions on woolen goods will make a marked difference in the cost of woolen clothing, shawls, yarns, blankets and flannels. The McKinley Bill taxed woolen yarns something like 271) per cent, of their value; the new bill taxes them about 30 per cent. Woolen shawls are cut fiom about 150 per cent, to 35 per centand other woolen goods in about the same proportion.

Speaking of the new tariff law, Senator Cullom says: “We the Republicans i voted according to our principles. What protection featuers there are in the bill are due to the etlorts of the Repuclican members.” The country will not forget the responsibility of the Republicans in this respect, but it does not propose to hold them alone responsible There are a few self-styled Democrats who must be remembered on the day of reckoning, and when they are awarded their just dues, Senator Cullom and his party colleagues will be welcome to all that is left.

The action of tin* federal government in setting apart certain large tracts of the public forest lands In the west as “reserves" was outlined recently in these columns. Likewise, the value

of these vast forests was referred to in | silver, the product of American mines, their relation to the great irrigating | ;lt the old ratio of 16 of silver to i of systems of the west and their utility in i i • .1 1 1 • ^ supplying future timber demands. As ls the only solution of and therein remarked, the mere creating of I remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-tlu-s,- reserves was but an incomplete factory condition of trade, manufacmeasure, unless some permanent svs- , , , • - , tem of federal forestry was also soon tur ' general business of thecounadopted. At present the reserves are try. The surreptitious act of 1873, under the control of the land office of j divorcing silver and gold in our monethe department of the interior, subject . ■ ,, only to such limited care as its agents ir ' system, was a crime of untold can bestow, which is slight. magnitude. It was the rankest kind

Last summer the army was sought by the secretary of the interior for details to protect from depredations some of j the reserves. The acting judge advo cate gave an opinion that it was not lawful to employ troops upon such duty unless expressly directed by congress. Under this decision it seems that the details that have hitherto guarded, except during the winter months, the Yellowstone, Yoscmite, Sequoia and Gen. Grant parks will be withheld

this year.

A bill now before congress in reference to the public forests authorizes the secretary of war to furnish details of troops upon requisition of the secretary of the interior to protect these reservations. But why not carry the subject a step further, as has been suggested by forest advocates, and reach the heart of the question? Substitute a bill placing the public forests that arc withdrawn from public entry by settlers absolutely under the control of the army. Commence* at the beginning and make forestry a department at West Point, with a portion of the conveniently situated highlands as an experimental station. Provide for assigning a portion of the graduates of the academy each year to command a specially enlisted forestry guard to carry out a system of scientific and practical forestry upon these reservations. It is ventured to predict, the more this plan is considered, the more one will find in it a simple and logical solution of a pending vital question. It furnishes a new field of activity to the army; it insures fidelity to the national interests. It would give permanency and capability at once to the forestry

system.

They Are Meted Out to a Faithless Wife Near Shelby, Miss. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 28.—News has just reached here of a tragedy near Shelby, Miss., in which John Thomas slew his faithless wife and probably her paramour also. Thomas lives on the R. II. Smith plantation. Some time ago the affections of his wife were alienated and she took up her abode with one Donald Hill. Thomas swore vengeance, but was in no hurry to secure it. Sunday he drew all the money coming to him, armed himself with a Winchester and lay in wait for his wife and paramour when they came from church. When they approached his hiding place he opened fire. The woman fell dejd at the first shot. The paramour lied precipitately, but another bullet fired at him hit the mark, though it did not stop his flight. Ho left a trail of blood for some distance, but at last disappeared. It is believed he has died in the swamp Thomas made liis escape and has not been seen since.

MUD BATHS.

The Novel Treatment Undergone hy In-

valids in Italy.

There is nothing particularly enticing in the sound of “mud baths,” and those who have tried them at Homburg and other places find them not agreeable as experiences, however efficacious they may be as a treat Aent. At most spas the process is simply that of pouring mud into one's bath, but at some Italian baths to which the fashionably sick are turning, a traveler, who has taken them, finds that they are quite different. The mud, in a very hot and almost dry form, much of the consistence of brick clay, is applied locally to those parts of the body which are affected. The patient lies on a straw bed, on which is placed a sheet. The attendant having ascertained the suffering parts, daubs them to the thickness of several inches with the mud. The invalid, covered with a hot sheet or blankets, lies for half an hour, perspiring freely, then gets into a hot sulphur bath, is thoroughly cleansed, rubbed dry, and returns to a bed artificially warmed, where the perspiration continues for an hour of so longer. This treatment is repeated almost

of class legislation in favor of the wealthy against the producers of wealth, and hostile to the prosperity of the United States. It was an act >f treason because done at the instance of a European syndicate and for bribe money, “giving aid and comfort to our country’s enemies.” To shield the guilty parties, the well authenticated facts, often published, have been

vigorously denied.

A doctors profession requires him. if he seeks convenience^and comfort, to have two telephones—one in his office and one in his bedroom. As anyone who hasdo pay tribute to the telephone knows, says the Pittsburgh Telegraph. their charges hardly represent the progress that has been made in other lines in the world in cheapening commodities. But necessity is the mother of invention, and a doctor in the East End found a way to have the convenience of two telephones and yet only pay for one. He has his telephone hung m>on luniks in ’his office, the connections being made by the telephone coming in contact with an electric board which he has had constructed. He also has wires run to his bedroom, where another electric board has been placed. The doctor may lie said to take his telephone to bed with him every night, lie takes it from the hooks in his office, carries it under his arm up to his bedroom, and places it upon the hooks there. Should any calls come during the night, he can answer them without leaving his room, thereby getting the use of two

telcnhones for the price of one.
