Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Roy*! ABSOLUTELY PURE

CITY AND COUNTY Miss Grace Ricketts is home from Chicago. Miss Edith Waltz has returned from Ladoga. Mrs. Shuttleworth and Miss Ollie Shuttleworth are visiting at Muncie. It is worthy of remark that the members of the present legislature are trying to see how many bills they can introduce; on almost every subject. If there is e' er a time in a man’s life when he makes a fool of himself it is when he gets in the legislature. The men who introduce the fewest bills as a rule serve their constituency best. One of DePauw’s most exquisite Sophomores, who is noted for his curly locks, his immaculate linen, his lovely neck ties and his pointed toed shoes, as well as for his popularity with the fair sex, was badly stricken with Cupid’s dart a few months ago; he popped and was accepted, and at holiday time he made a diamond ring presented to his sweetheart do the double duty of Chtistmas present and engagement ring. Since that time a coolness and lack of reciprocal love sprang up between the two; there was no more billing and cooing, but instead they greeted each other as Mr. or Miss , but the diamond ring held its place on the fair one’s finger. The days passed and the lover’s quarrel waxed warmer the coolness between them grew more pronounced, and the Sophie grew desperate; he wrote to the young lady demanding the return of his notes, letters and the ring, at the same time returning her epistles; she promptly answered, stating she took great pleasure in returning his notes and letters, as they were of no inter eat or value to her, but she writes: “The ring I will keep in part payment for the coal burnt and the ker osene consumed while entertaining you in times past. Adieu!” He’s sorry that he was a party to that waste of coal, kerosene and diamond

ring.

Charles Kiefer returned from Germany to this country, some years ago, on the Elbe, which was wrecked last week he says the wrecking of the vessel was quite a shock to him, because of this fact. The vocal recital given by pupils of Miss Fernie, at Music Hall, Friday night, was a charming affair, the different numbers being rendered in that praiseworthy manner that de notes natural aptitude and careful

training.

A few days ago, near the Vandalia depot, was seen a well defined specimen of a man half drunk and half sober, at that stage where he is very innocent and very silly, a mixture of wisdom and insanity, a conglomeration of man and monkey, half a clown and two thirds a fool. He sang and hummed, talked and winked, so conspicuously as to be the center of attraction.

The following comes to us from Washington township, and the story is told of a neighbor farmer who resides in Clay county. He called at a neighbor’s house recently. “Sit down; sit down;” said the neighbor. “I don’t know as I ought,” replied the farmer, bat nevertheless he sat down. After some talk about the crops and the value of an adjoining piece of land, the farmer said slowly: “I don’t know as I ought to he sitting here. I came over to see if I could get a ladder; our house is afire.”

The detectives (?) who have been arresting different persons and charging them with the Belleville fhnrder, seem to be of the sort that seek to secure reward even if it necessary to convict tho innocent to n^compl'sh the desired end. They first arrested an innocent tramp, next they arrested Bun Nichols of this county, and acknowledged afterwards that they had not a particle (St evidence against him, and then they arrested Rev. Henshaw for the murder of his wife, and when it came to the pinch they had no evidence of any sort against him. These detectives (?) should be given a dose of their own medicine; punishment should be measured out to them. It is no trifling matter for the victims of these arrests on a false charge, with no criminating circumstances shown against then., and those who arrested them should be

held accountable.

tone and slfect on the cornet than Hutchins.'’ In both orchestra and band, Mr. Hutchins is diutinctively a lader. and next to Sousa, undoubtedly occupies to-day the most prominent position in this country As a mucicitn and teacher he stands unrivalled. In a recent interview at his home, UU Charles St., Providence, K. I., Mr. Hutchins said: “It is generally known that when my wife came here she was very poorly off with nervous prostration. To-day she is the picture of health, and I must say we owe it to that splendid medicine, Dr. Greene's Nerve blood and nerve remedy. “1 know of several others who have been cured within a short time by Dr. Greene’s Nerve blood and nerve remedy, and the quicker people affected with any nervous difficulty commence to take this great medicine, the quicker will be cured. “But let my wife tell her experience, which everyone, who knows her, knows is true in every particular.” Mrs. Hutchins said; “I consider it my duty to state that I was permanently cured of nervous prostration by using three bottles of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I doctored for two years or more with several eminent physicians without receiving any permanent bene-

fit.

“My husband insisted that I should stop employing a physician at once, and com-

mence taking the Nervura.

“It improved my health at once. It quieted my nerves; I slept well; began to have an appetite; gradually grew stronger,

sin, constipation, female complaints, and liver and kidney disease. It builds up the blood, invigorates the tired brain, strengthens the week and shattered nerves. In fact, it makes those who use it well and strong. Why waste time in trying uncertain and untried remedies, when here is a physician's

Prophecies For 18(15. Mrs. Kelly Hartman of Lynn, Mass., has either been impressed or resolved out of her own head to make a series of prophecies for this year. Some of her predictions anybody withontoccalt power coaid foresee—as, for instance, that there will be great rowing in congress, with “unusnal excitement and discord. ” Unusual excitement in congress has boon the usual thing for so long that wo are well used to it now and don’t mind it. Furthermore, sho says that at least three prominent politicians will die. Heaven give them happy release! If tho smaller politicians (aud a good many of them) would follow suit, the country would have a happy release and a rest

as well.

Royalties aud rulers are going to have a bad time. Queen S’ictoria will be very ill and maybe die, and President Cleveland will not feel very well himself. The Prince of Wales will have much trouble, and there will be sickness in his family. Americans are sorry for this, for Wales is beginning to show that ho possesses some of the good hard sense and not a little of tho kindly heart of his father, Prince Albert. There will bo two deaths in the British royal family in 1895, says Mrs. Hartman, and in oar own reigning house little Princess Rath Cleveland will have an illness.

So much for royalties.

Bloated capitalists and millionaires may look a little out, for they will not have a good time. They will sustain great financial losses, and the death of one of them will cause considerable excitement. We doubt that. Tho death of oven a hundredfold millionaire never yet has caused any great exeitement in this country. We are too much accus-

tomed to millionaires.

Three great men are to die by violence, and an unusual number of prominent people are to quit this life also, quietly in their beds. Let us all take tho

best of care of ourselves.

There are going to bo in 1895 enough excitement and stir to have lasted tho good old times a generation. The labor agitation will continue more fiercely tlirtn over, and at the end of tho year working people will find themselves decidedly better off than they are now. Well, they can stand it. Two very influential men will be of great benefit to the cause of labor. Thousands of men who read this prophecy will thereupon ask: Is it I? It will be a bad year because of train robbing and crime, especially in tho west There will be a dreadful earthquake or two in the southwestern United States. Whether politics in Texas has anything to do with these tho prophet sayeth not. Besides the earthquakes the seer tells us there will bo unusual storms oil land, such as we had in 1894, aud a tremendous great ouo at sea. Three huge buildings will fall, probably some of the skyscrapiug hotels aud apartment houses built on the new plan of economizing ground rents. A big steamer will be burned at sea, and there will bo constant heresy trials and theological agitation in tho

church denominations.

Tho year 1895 will, however, bo a wonderful one for the advancement of science, invention and labor reform, wo are told. That lets us down a little easy and gives us some small ground for hope. Mrs. Hartman says, further, that tho powers of darkness are going to pull al! together and make one intense, all around effort to crush out spiritualism aud tho spiritualists, but that they can’t do if, and after a time '‘all will be

bright and beautiful. ”

if half the things this seer predicts come true, 1895 will be a jolly rongh old year to most of us, and wo shall not
