Hon T. E. Ballard, of Crawfordsville, who is an able and earnest advocate of the free coinage of gold and diver at the ratio of 16 to 1, addressed very large crowd at the Court House, last Saturday afternoon. He h id hoped that one of Putnam county’s “present gold standard” advocates would appear, as invited, and discuss the currency question with him, but his hope was in vain; not one of them dared face him on he rostum. Mr. Ballard’s speech was quite lengthy; it bristled with [facts plainly and entertainingly jjstated, and was received with evi-

ent approval and applause.

On Saturday came word from Covgton, Ky., as follows: The mother f Scott Jackson, the condemned urderer of Pearl Bryan, was denied mission ofthe Covington jail Thursly afternoon to see her son. It was sitor’s day, and the jail officials efer that Jackson and Walling ceive their callers when there is lot a crowd at the bastile. Mrs. ackson pleaded in vain to see her >on. Turnkey Maurer and Jailer Weighaus told her to return Friday $fternoon. Mrs. Jackson called again at the jail Friday at one o’clock. She was admitted to the cell corridor and ker son was allowed to walk out of his cell. The mother and condemned eon embraced and wept. Three jchairs were placed in the corridor, tone was for Mrs. Jackson, one for Scott Jaekson and the other for {jailer McKnight, who remained with Ityie couple all the time that they were together. Thus no private conversation could be carried on. Mrs. Jackpon remainejl for an hour, the officials having decided to make an exception to the ten-minute rule in her case.

Mrs. Shubrick, of Atlanta, Ga., who was visiting her sister, Mrs. H. B. Longden, has gone to Greenwood to visit her mother. Some one stole a silk umbrella from the veranda of R. L. O’Hair, on Sunday night—it was a decidedly useful article just at that time. On Saturday Ed. Black, of South Greencastle, was stricken with “falling sickness,” and in the fall the blade of an open knife which he held in his hand, penetrated his eye—it is feared that he loose the sight of the injured eye. By the-way, the B.-T. does not publish the report of the grand jury, made a few days ago, in which Sheriff Glidewell and County Asylum Superintendent Mark are credited with careful, energetic and commendable work in the care of the jail and county asylum and the unfortunate inmates thereof. Give the people all the local news, Mr. B.-T.; don’t play small, e’en in a partisan way. Rumor has it that Warner Miller, the Republican gold bug from New York, who is so unpopular and well understood at home that he could not be elected dog pelter, refused to ride behind the Silver Leaf Band, from the hotel to the Opera House, because the members ofthe band are negroes. The fact is that the band went to the hotel to escort Miller to the place of speaking, and returned without him, riding down to the hall in a carriage a few minutes afterwards. It seems, after all, that the Republicans are friends of tho negro only to capture their votes, and that they have no other use for them. We Would Like to See Free silver coinage, at the ratio of 16 to 1 triumphant. A boom in business and increased prosperity for all. More sociability and less back-bit-ing midst our people. More independence among, and more reading done by our people, that they may decide political issues on their real merits, and not upon what the political manager lays down as wisdom and truth. Less gossip and more charity amongst the people. Large delegations of voters come in from the out townships to hear Hon. B. F. Shivley, our candidate for Governor. Some of our Greencastle bachelors spruce up a little and secure wives. Farmers get 50 cts. for corn and $1 for wheat, and they will get it when free coinage of silver and gold is secured at tho ratio of 16 to 1.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says: A petition signed by 600 soldiers and sailors of the late war was presented to the Marion county republican legislative convention to put ex-Lieut-enant-Governor Thomas Hanna on the ticket. The petition was ignored and Mr. Hanna was left out in tho cold of a bleak September day. He was a Fairbanks man, too. Hon. M. E. Foley, of Crawfordsville, made a free coinage address, on Friday night, to an audience that completely filled the Court House, and he talked so eloquently, so entertainingly, and so instructively, that he hold tho undivided attention of all for over two hours. In the course of his address he traced and pictured out the different steps ofthe Republican plotters in aceomplishing the demonetization of silver in 1873, and made the facts so plain that all could understand, and his points were so well and so frequently made that he received much applause. Tho first meeting of the Woman’s Club for the year of 1896-97 was held on last Saturday afternoon, at the residence of Dr. John. Mrs. Baker, the new President of the Club, read a well prepared and most excellent paper entitled “A Study on Child Life.” Dainty refreshments were then served, after which toasts were responded to as follows: “Our President” by Mrs. Mansfield; “The Club, As It Was and Is,” by Mrs. Ridpath; “Tho Club As It Will Be,” by Mrs. Alpheus Birch; “Our Ancestry,” by Mrs. Stephenson; “Our Progeny,” by Mrs. Miller. The parlors were handsomely garnished with flowers, and the meeting was a most charming one, jtv'ged from both intellectual and social standpoints. Jay H. Neff, formerly of this city, and a son of Col. Neff, former proprietor of the Greencastle Times, is tho Republican candidate for Congressman in tho Kansas City, Mo., district, but tho indications are that he has no chance of election. In Kansas City, on Monday, says a special, tho Industrial Council, adopted resolutions denouncing J. II. Neff, the Republican nominee for Congress, for his antagonism to union labor. The adoption of the resolution created consternation among the Republicans. It is conceded that it means that the solid vote of organized labor in the Fift District will be cast solidly against Neff, and that exMayor Cowherd’s election is a foregone conclusion. Horace Greeley once said: "The way to resume is to resume," speakidg of again putting gohl into circulation after the war.

"I had chronic diarrhoea for ten years," says L. W. Kichlein, a justice of the peace at South Easton, Pa. "No remedy afforded me real relief until I was induced by Chas. T.

Rev. E. J. Miller, of Albion, N. Y,, the eminent divine, who represents the Boston Tremont Temple Society as missionary to India, who was broken down with overwork, liver trouble and malaria, and is now on vacation’ in soarch of health, has found both health and strength in the use oi Dr. Greene's Ner-

vura. He says:

I returned to America broken in health, with a bad catarrh, neuralgia anil stomach and liver trouble. The whole top of my head felt numb, so that at times I was rob bed of my thinking powers, and could not do any work with case. Having consulted a number of doctors and teken their medicines, I received no relief whatever. “I was induced to try Dr. Greene's Nervura, which worked like a charm and produced the long-for results. My head and whole system is now clean from citarrh, neuralgia and fever. I can now study and dj my work with satisfaction. It fact, I feel

like a new man in health ami strength. ‘‘I therefore feel it my duty and great pleasure to recommend this excellent remedy, Dr. Greene’s Nervura. which certainly has done so much for me." Rev. F. H. Buffman, of Winchester, N. H., who is Grand Army Captain for Mew Hampshire, says: ‘•The remedial effect of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nervous prostration of my wife, was so positive and speedy that we can heartily testify to its undoubted merits.” Presiding Eider Rev. J. W. Walker, of Fort Dodge, Iowa; Rev. C. D. R. Meacham, pastor Baptist Qhurch, Townaeud, Vt.; Rev. G. L. Wells, of Hardwick, Vt.; Rev. Henry Langford, of Weston, W.

Dr. Greene also can be consulted free, personally or by letter, in regard to

any case.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness, if you want to get well and stay well. Most likely its indigestion. The irritating pois ons of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stomachache, nausea, irritability, and all the other well-known symptoms of indigestion. They also cause many pains and disorders which are ofton laid to other causes and hence are not easily cured. But as soon as the poisons are removed, all these systems and disorders disappear, because there is nothing left to cause them Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive C ordial, because it prevents the undigested food from fermenting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest its food. s ' by druggists, price 10 cents ti (I per bottle.
