It is stated that the Illinois Central road, over its southern division, is taking more people into JSTew Orleans than either the Louisville & .Nashville or the Crescent and New Orleans routes. Commencing March 1, the wages of men employed in the Vandalia shops at Terre Haute •were cut from 5 to 25 cents per day, as the genial superintendent says “to even up per cents.” ftthe bridge carpenters, section men and agents •Along the line also suffer a slight reduction.

A Valuable Railroad Property. “The stock of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis. St. Dotiis & Chicago road has gone up to seventy -and will certainly be up to par before the 'year closes,” remarked an old financier and _ xailroader, yesterday. Parties who are conversant with the financial affairs of tbe road, know its physical condition, and also well understand the future prospects of the road, express the belief that the G, 1., St L. & C- is one of the beet railroad properties in Indiana, Illinois or Ohio, all things considered. Its geographical position Is such that it3 interchanging of traffic, outside of its local business, is simply marvelous. During the depressed times the traffic of this road lias been in excess of that of ■any other road in this section. Kvery indication is that with what would be termed a good business year with railroads, the -traffic of the C., 1., St. L. & C. will only bo limited by cars and locomotive power to haul the .freights. The building of tbe Kankakee and .'Seneca division was unquestionably a grand pmove for the road. President Ingalls was laughed at even by several of the directors. Wh on he first proposed building this 43 miles of road, yet he pushed it to completion, and it is not an unusual thing for the intercharge of traffic foetwoon the C., 1., St. L. A: C. and the Chicago Kock Islank to reach 123 to 130 loaded cars rper day, and an official of the Chicago & Kock Island road on Monday evening re .marked to the ' railroad reporter of •tfce Journal that he would not be surprised to see tlio interchange of traffic between these two roads reach 300 cars per day. The Illinois Central, the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw, now the Wabash, art all. as well, valuable feeders to the C., 1., Bt. L. 0. Some idea of the immediate •prospective business of the 0., 1., St. Ix. & C. may be formed from the cars that have been called for in the last forty eight hours by shippers over the western division, and also the xaot of it* value a3 a connection to several of the roads leading east from Indianapolis. On Monday the lice line was asked to furnish 100 Whitc-lme cars for Buffalo business, the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, eastern division, for 230 Midland cars, the C., St. L. &P. for 100 Union lino and 100 Erie & Pacific Dispatch cars, .and the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indianapolis was asked to .furnish 200 <J rcat Western Dispatch cars to load for points on the Erie road. Meantime the 0., S-, St. L. <£ C. is loading all tho Continental line •cars for tho Baltimore Ohio it can get hold of, And for the Chesapeake <fe Ohio road, as well. The above statement, which is not in the least .exaggerated, certainly gives good grounds for <ih© remark of tho railroad official above quoted. yiu-lHing Experience of a Train Dispatcher. i A few da>> since the railroad reporter of tho £ao Francisco ( all dropped iu at one of tho train fiispatchers’ offices, and, noticing that tho fcair of ono of the operators was very gray for ao young a man, questioned him as to the reason diioreforo. He answered that there was a thrill dug experience connected therewith. Said he: tf 1 A few years ago I was a night operator on tho GNorthom Pacific road. I had been out to a pioaric one day and came home very tired, but wentjon .duty as usual. Well, I struggled along until About 3 o’clock, when I was aroused from a light (dose by tbe ticking of tny instrument i dragged pjn.vseU over to where it stood and received the dispatch: ‘To Operator, Kimberly: sliohl all west-bound trains. Bridge No. 0 is gashed away.’ “Bridge No. 6 was several miles west of my Cnn. and spanned a small stream in which wore floated down from the pineries. I had

heard that day of a big “jam” near there, and now realized that it had broken and swept the bridge away. The section men had reported it to the next station west of me and my order was the result Still, I was in that somnolent state when nothing seems of immediate importance, nnd after mechanically lighting my signal lantern, laid down again on the table from which I had risen, neglecting to hang the lantern out I don’t know how long I had slept, when I was suddenly conscious that a train was nearing the station, at the same time being unable to move or awaken myself. I knew that I was asleep, realized the necessity of stopping the train, and that it would not stop at Kimberly if no signal was displayed. Yet I was powerless to save them from the inevitable destruction which awaited them if they were not warned of the carrying away of the’bridge. I shall never forget the agony those thoughts brought me. I struggled to break the chains of sleep which held me. The effort was accompanied by a most peculiar sensation. I felt the train draw nearer and nearer. It was like the approach of fate. If it passed I was a murderer. Again and again I struggled, with th® same result—l could not wake. It must have been but a few moments, yet I endured what seemed hours of torture. I think the jar and rumble of the train as it sped by must have awakened me. I jumped to ray feet, siezed the lantern, which was still burning beside by chair, and dashed out through the open window. The rear coach was just passing the west end of the platform. I screamed, and in my frenzy rushed after the departing train. Tho noise and speed mocked toe. Recollecting myself, I swung my lantern across the track—the usual signal of danger. There was no one in sight. Just as the train swept around a curve a brakeman appeared on the rear platform. A moment later I heard what I always considered the most welcome sound that ever reached my ears —a shriek from the engine and the rattle of air-brakes. As I realized that the train was saved, a’ reaction came over nee and I fell on the track unconscious. “It was six weeks before I recovered from the brain fever which followed. Fortunately, the trainmen were old friends of mine, and the true cause of my illness never reached headquarters. Upon recovery I resigned my position at Kimberly and came West.’’

The L, B. & XV. to Abandon the St. Louis Division. The Journal has the best of authority for stating that the Indiana, Bloomington & Western people have decided to turn the St Louis division over to the trustees of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield railroad company, of which H. B. Hammond is president. To-day was the date set for such action, but yesterday afternoon telegrams were received to the effect that the trustees, who are Eastern men, could not be hero to take *the property until Friday or Saturday. The L, D. &S. company owns from Decatur, 111., to Indianapolis, Ind,, 333 miles. This company is successor to the Indiana & Illinois Central railroad, sold in foreclosure April 26, 1875. In December, 1881, it was leased to the Indiana. Bloomington & Western for fifty years, at 30 per cent, of gross earnings, with the provision that, should 30 per cent of the gross earnings fall short of $200,000 per year such deficiency should be made up by the L, B. &W. company. The latter claim that in operating the road under this lease they have lost $42,000 per annum, hence they wish to unload the elephant. In addition to the road-bed there are 18 locomotives, 0 passenger coaches, 5 baggage, mail and express cars. 2 combination cars, some 400 freight cars and the fine shops west of the city, which are supplied with the best and most modern machinery. The officials of the I. B. & W., state that the equipment is now in better order than when they leased the road. It is stated that the general freight agency of the road has been offered -to M. Doherty, commissioner of the Indiauapolis east-bound pool. This move on the part of the 1., B. & W. people is leading to much speculation and unfavorable commont In short, the belief prevails that it is a scheme to further wreck the road, if possible. It is alleged that for two years past tffe 1., B. & W. people have failed to make any effort to build up business on the road, taking off, of late, the best paying trains. The 1., B. & W. people have used in common the 1., D. & 8. rolling stock, 50 per cent, of their locomotives having been in service on other divisions than the St. Louis division. The L, B. & W. people need the yard room and the commodious and conveniently located shops, and the more the matter is investigated the more shrounded in mystery is their present policy, unless, as some predict, they expect the 1., D. & S. company is £in such shape, financially, that the road will be at an early day thrown into tho hands of a receiver then sold at foreclosure sale and be gathered in by the Corbin syndicate at a trival sum.

The Boourge Os our race. When digestion 1s bad every part of the human system necessarily suffers. The entire structure of tho body becomes affected, oven the mind itself showing the effect of it in the low spirits of the patient. Indigestion is tbe parent of a thousand indescribable miseries, and piepares a foundation for disorders that cannot be easily shaken off. The premonitory symptoms of dyspepsia are known to every person. It is a disease that fastens itself alike upon the old and tho young, and both fall victims to its destroying powor when the proper remedy is neglected or rejected. It is for this reason that thousands endure a living death as tho natural penalty of delay. Those who have suffered the pangs of this scourgo of the human race do not need to be told that it is an ailment which interferes with all the enjoyments of this life, spreading gloom and despondency over the mind, and steadily, wearing out the vital principle of life itself. And other complaints, such as biliousness, general debility, diseases of the bowels, stomach, liver and kidneys frequently result from it, and often terminate fatally. Have you superinduced dyspepsia by a violation of the hygienic laws which are laid down for your government, and which are observed by animals not gifted with reason? If so do not flatter yourself that by now paying that attention to them their importance demands you can drive out the evil; something else is required. Mere diet and regimen will not restore you to perfect health. Consider tho present condition of your stomach. What is its tone? What can you accomplish by simple diet towards bringing it back to its normal healthful state? Absolutely nothing: less than nothing. The first step to be taken is towards increasing the activity and vigor of tlio stomach. And how can this be done? The only tonic ever yet discovered upon which you may confidently rely for the accomplishment of this great purpose is Mishler’s Herb Bjtters, which will speedily, certainly, effectually and permanently produce the change in your system you so much require. There are more sufferers from dyspepsia in the United States to-day than from any other one disease. It is the product of a variety of causes, and whatever these causes may be, nevertheless the ono remedy named will answer for all —a sound, healthy stomach is indispensablo to sound health. If the stomach is right, all is right Misbler’s Herb Bitters will prevent dyspepsia as well as radically euro it It is a preventive as well as a curative, and “an ounce of prevention is always to be preferred to a pound of cure,” and hence a timely resort to this powerful and efficacious medicine will fortify your physique against the attacks of this scourge of our race, and if its seeds have found a lodgment iu your system, this same stimulating medicine will utterly destroy them. It cannot make any difference how long a person has suffered from dyspepsia, in what form it has made its ance, the united testimony of thousands prove that it must at ouce yield bolero the steady, irresistible work of this famous stomachic. Whether its type is hereditary and constitutional, or otherwise, the effect of the bitters is always the same. The victim is at once relieved from misery, and a cure —absolute and perma nent—quickly effected. Them is nothing injurious among the ingredients of Mishler’s Herb Bitters, nothing that will irritato the stomach, fire the brain, or unduly stimulate the heart It is tho one thing needful in these days of general complaint from dyspepsia. Os its wholesome efficacy, thousands have testified who were rescued by it from the power of dyspepsia, and saved from its attendant evils. Has the disease intrenched itself in your system? If so, act wisely, and use the great household remedy which will successfully combat and utterly destroy the disease, and fortify you against any subsequent attack of it.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MAROH 4, 1885.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Terre Haute Normal School. To the Editor of the Indisnauolifl Journal; There appears tq®bo a bill before the State Legislature appropriating $25,090 out of the common school fund for the use of the State Normal School at Terre Haute. Permit the writer, through your columns, to call attention to certain facts in connection with this bill: 1. It is indirect violation of the State Con stitution of Indiana. Article VIII, sec. 3, of this instrument, says; “The principal of the common-school fund’ shall remain a perpetual fund which may be increased, but shall never be diminished; and the income thereof shall be inviolably appropriated to the support of common schools, and to no other purpose whatever.” The State Normal School is not a “common school” in any sense, and the legislator who votes to take this money from the children of our State will be held to a strict accountability by his constituency. 2. The school terms of this State now average only about five months; some counties having only four months’ school. The couuty superintendents, the State superintendent and the township trustees have been working hard to get the means to lengthen the school term. Bnt this bill, in violation of the oaths of the legislators tft obey the Constitution, proposes at one stroke to take at least 13,000 school days from the pupils. It cannot be said that the very schools this will hurt most will ultimately be benefited, because no graduate of the State Normal School will teach in a four or five-months’ country school. The bill is a clear violation of law and pf right, and should not pass. We do not say this, Mr. Editor, in any spirit of hostility to the State Normal School. The writer can bear testimony, from personal observation, that it has first-class men in its faculty, and is doing work that deserves both recognition and a handsome support from the Legislature. But the appropriation for it should come from the same funds as those for the State Uni; versity, and for Purdue University, as it belongs to the same system of higher education. Certainly our State is not in so bankrupt a condition that its Legislature will prefer to rob its children rather than boldly to support a deserving State institution. Terre Haute, March 3, 1885.

Trouble Among the Knox County Democrats. To tlie Kditnr of the ImllauupoliM Journal: There is trouble in the Democratic ranks here, right on the eve of the inauguration of a Democratic President. Ever since the November election the candidates for the postolfico have been innumerable, among them the most prominently mentioned being] Wm. S. Stoddard, a prominent citizen, who has been the local agent of J. & S. Sitnpkinson's wholesale boot and shoe house, of Cincinnati. Another fighting candidate was Mayor Shouse. Stoddard, however, had the inside track, so said by the political wiseacres, and he engaged ex Sheriff Kackley to take his petition around and secure signers. Kackley has enjoyed a good deal of tho pap of the Democratic party here, and he willingly went to work heart and soul for Mr. Stoddard, secured many scores of names to Stoddard's petition, and the whole matter was supposed to be settled. Several weeks ago Cobb, the king of the Democratic party here, sent word to his organ, the Sun. that he would positively control all the political patronage of the Second congressional district, and this fact was therefore heralded • broadcast as an official proclamation to all whom it might concern. Everything seemed peaceful until a day or two ago. when tho editor of the Sun, who is a candidate for tho postoffice, cried out, in hi# sheet, with the greatest agony against all the aspirants but himself, asking who had done more than ho lor his party. It has since leaked out that Congressman Cobb sent a bombshell to this community in a communication which declared that, for the sake of peace and harmony, Mr. Kackley would be the next postmaster—that this decision was final. Os course Cobb's letter createdv consternation among the Democratic office-seekers, and Mr. Stoddard, Mr. Shouse, and Mr. Purcell, of the Sun. are especially grieved and hurt. It is particularly galling to Mr. Stoddard, inasmuch as he has been a life long Democrat, and that Mr. Kackley outwitted him after having circulated his petition. The affair is tho talk of the town, and some lively developments are expected. Mr. Cobb’s action hurts his warmest supporters, and lie has really stepped into a lively hornet’s nest. He has also been very premature in his disposition of tho office, ns though he controlled Cleveland and the entire United States government. The present postmaster, Captain Lewis, is very serene. His time is not out until next spring. There is plenty of time for a big row among the Democrats bes >re that. Vincennes, March 2, 1885.

Diversity of Products. To the Editor of tb9 Imliauupoiia Journal: With tho low prices for grain tbe pa3t year, the Indiana acreage of wheat, at least, has been reduced. Many farmers may look upon the prospect as all but encouraging, as it may be said that many farms are not adapted for pasture, and it may be said of others that are that the price of land is too high for that use, and what seems the only alternative, stock-raising, cannot be profitably gone into. But, luckily, there are other sources of income, if they are only taken advantage of. Let the farmer, next time he goes into a grocery store, notice the many articles there for sale from abroad that he could produce just as well as not if he only would. For an instance. the past year the common white bean has brought a largo price, and the supply has come from a distance. Now, of all things, this can be raised almost anywhere and at the lowest price, profitably, and it will bear shipping any distance, or can be held several years, if necessary, for the best price. And so there are scoiWcf articles that can likewise bo furnished by our fanners for the trade, among which are pears, onions, vinegar, mincemeat, fruit butter, preserves, canned fruits, sweet corn and canned vegetables generally, etc. Not that tbe ordinary farmor should* make a special ty ot auv ono thing, and try to compete with city canners, but that ho should have something to sell of all these. There will be no trouble in finding at any grocery a ready market for all that is homemade, in preference to city articles of the same kind. Let him not let opportunities go unimproved. Let every maple tree be tapped and in the season of the year when he can do little else, let him be making syrup, crumb sugar or sugar cakes. Also, let him not bo‘Timid about bringing any surplus not needed for his table, to town. New demands can be created. Even buttermilk sells in towns readily. There is an increasing demand for bops, a culture it will pay to give some attention to. If a farmer’s land is not suited to grass, ho can largely raise stock, especially for milk, upon root crops. A way to increase tho receipts of the farm is to have its products go off of it in the most concentrated and valuablo form. For instance, if any pork ia raised, not to rush it off alive, and at a low price because tbe supply of grain has given out, or it i6 too high priced, but slaughter it on the farm, and smoke and cure the meat, ana when the demand is best, have ham and bacon to sell at fancy prices, instead of lowpriced porkers. An Indianian. Makoh 2. THE ARMY KING. Secretary of War Lincoln and His Relations to the Swaim Case. Gath’s Letter in ( incinnati Enquirer. Reforriug to Mr. Lincoln, who is about to step out of the War Department, a person well qualified to speak said to ine: “Lincoln is a victim of the sentimentality of our country. If he had entered the Legislature of Illinois, like his father, and stayed there a number of years, and bad then run for Congress in his district, and seen congressional life and experience, and had finally been sent to the Senate from his State, his promotion to a Cabinet office would have been natural. But merely because his name was Lincoln he was taken out of obscure private life aud put at the bead of a department. Consequently he will go out of this office with not much political capital. His last act concerning Swaim seems to have given general offense. Tho Democrats do not defend him, and those Republicans who have defended him are merely of the army class who are standing by their regular army men on the court-martial, lie has unquestionably offended the very sentimentality in his party ho was selected for to be

a Cabinet officer. The man who made Garfield his home, and whom Garfield appointed, or had appointed, lias been insulted, and yet not much injured. He has been suspended for twelve years, but the money which Swann so much loved is continued at least in half pay. The whole proceeding is a botch, showing that the Cabinet of Arthur has more small individuality than it has prudence. The State of Ohio, one of the bulwarks of the Republican party, is deeply offended, and that feeliug of injury extends to Michigan and some other Western States. In short, as Arthur came into power by stepping on Garfield's dead body, he goes out of power stepping on Garfield’s nearest friend. This conclusion is believed, if not by the wisest minds, by sufficient minds at least to permanently divide public opinion, to have been a concession to the petty social sentiment of Washington which has been nursed by Mr. Arthur and his dinners and sociables until it has believed itself the government of the United States. Swaim was not a man of the social circle. He was a (Quaker, very anxious to improve his personal condition. Ho did not believe in fine houses, though ho built Garfield's house. He did not lead any social set. He was a sort of lost quantity here, and the military snobs who haunt the War Department hated him as if he had been a parvenu. Only Thirty-Bix Per Cent. Os those who die from consumption inherit the disease. In all other cases it must either be contracted through carelessness, or, according to the new theory of tubercular parasites, received directly from others as an infectious diseaso. But, in either case, Dr. Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery” is a positive remedy for the disease in its early stAgeg. It is delay that is dangerous. If you are troubled with shortness of breath, spitting of blood, niglit-sweats or a lingering cough, do not hesitate to procure this sovereign remedy at once. .

THE JOURNAL-1885 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is recognized# very whoro as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper exponse will bo spared ia the future to maintain this undisputed excellence and to increase the value and interest of thepaper. THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements for the collection of the news of the day are more complete than ever, and we are adding some special features for 1835 which must enhance the popularity of the paper. THE JOURNAL ia the only paper in Indiana that prints regularly the full reports of tho Western Associated Press, which are now more comprehensive than ever, covering tho whole world. These dispatches aro supplemented by tho work of special correspondents at all the principal cities and towns of tho State and of the country at large. We have a special residont representative at Washington City, who looks after the nows of the national capital with vigilance, paying particular attention to that which most nearly concerns THIS JOURNAL’S constituency. The national administration will soon pass into the control of tho Democratic party, and the fullest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. The new State administration takes charg# of • affairs with the beginning of the new year. Tho Democratic Legislature will be in session. Tho Journal will pay unusual attention to tho daily presentation of such a report of its doings that any citizen of the State may know all that is going on affecting the public interests, accompanied w ith such comment as may be needed to explain tho possible political, social and economic effects of the proposed legislation.

Editorially TIIE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles aud general policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party organship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of TflK JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment, and strictures as will command his respect if they do not meet hi3 approval. It may also be said that TIIE JOURNAL is published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It recognizes that the women and the children are to be instructed and entertained. They will always find in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will bo so conducted as to pro\o a welcome visitor in the household. Tho news will be presented in such shape as to minimize the evil, and its editorial and local column# will be kept free from moral taint. Tho Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in tho country. SPECIAL FEATURES. By a special arrangement with the authors, the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL begins with the new year tho publication of a serial of original stories from tho pens of the most noted .writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells* J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. B. Aldrich, Franlfcß. Stockton, Mrs. Holen Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett, and others of equal celebrity. In order to reach all our readers, these stories will be printed in the Saturday edition of the Journal The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Talr.iage, of tho Brooklyn Tabernacle, preaehed the previous day —which sermon is not published in other papers of the State until tho following Sunday. This is only one feature showing the excellence of the Journal's arrangements for tho prompt publication of news.

TIIE SUNDAY JOURNAL. Wo have been compelled to yield to the demand, and henceforth the SUNDAY JOURNAL will be enlarged to Twelve Pages and will be sold for Five Cents, and will be sent to every town and city in the State of Indiana and surrounding territory. The circulation of the Sunday edition is the largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made itself the People's Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNAL is without competitor in the State in the character and variety of matter it presents its readers. The best writers in the State and the country freely contribute to its columns. In its enlarged and improved form it will be absolutely without a rival or peer. TIIE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL. (weekly edition) Is the host secular paper published in the State. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special foatures of late aud trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In these respects THE WEEKLY JOURNAL u superior to any mere agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by any special cjaaa publication. SPECIAL TERMS Are made to agents and canvassers, and for clubbing with other papers. For all details address the publishers. RATES OF SUBSCRIPTION.
