THE POOH AY0MA2TS DOLLAR

She Contributes It, ivith the Memory of a Son in Prison, to Save Drunkards. " A Meeting Where Francis Murpbj Tells the Gospel of Temperance to a Large Audience, JIoYed by Fatlios and Enthusiasm. Coming early doos not 'avoid the rush,, at the Seventh Presbyterian Church. Even Francis Mnrphy had some trouble squeezing his way through the audience, last night, to the platform, though his progress w as enlivened by gTeat hand-clapping and homething very like a cheer as he at last reached the staze and put foot upon it. "Let us all stand up and sing' said the apostle of gospel temperance, as he started up his favorite hymn, "Jeans, L,over of my Soul," and the grand old song of comfort was taken up by the great andience, to be enng as such a 6ong should be. . Mr. Murphy then began one of his unique gospel readings: ' 'Tho -wilderness and the solitary place 6hall bo gladx f or them.' (Isaiah xxxv, 1.) There, are a great many bad homes in this city, wanting peace and comfort, and . tho cold winter wirfd of a deep black sorrpw is sweeping all through the house. The desert shall blossom as the rose. It shall bloom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing.' Have you never entered into a bad home! There is no bloom in it for wife or child. All love has been swept out of it and it is a desert place. But the prophet savs the desert shall blossom as tho rose. Thank God for that. The glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it. tho excellency of Carmel and Sharon; they shall see the glory of the Lord and the excellency of our God. Strengthen ve tho weak hands and confirm the feeble knees.' You strong men, you men who are able to leave it alone, come forward and help others to free themselves from this terrible power. Take your neighpledge witn mm, wane to cnurcn witn mm and into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. 'Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not.' Don't be afraid to como on. 'Behold your God will como with vengeance, even God with a recompense; lie will come and save jrou.' This is the Eromise. Then the eyes of the blind shall e opened, and the ears of , the deaf be unstopped.' How many of us who have drunk intoxicating liquor may bo said to have lost our sight. .AdJ. our ears 'are deaf, so we will not hear our wife's entreaties, nor our children's, nor these of our father, nor of onr blessed mother. .1 come te-night to speak to rou, and hope the blessing of Jesus Christ will be upon us." Rev. K. V. Hunter prayed, and Mr. Murphy asrain spoke. Upon the platform were Dr. V. B. Fletcher. Dr. Backus. Dr. Rondthalcr, and near by were Robert P. Duncan, Stephen Gray, Joseph Taggart, -John Langdon, James Martin, and others who have been engaged fn the work in the northern part of the city. It began Sto look as if Francis Mnrphy was about to unite the North and the South Sides, tying them together with a blue ribbon. A few words had been spoken about tho home or sanitarium proposed to bo opened in this city for men who have been betrayed bv drink, when Mr. Murphy came forward, with nn envelope in his hand, addressed to the editor of. one of the daily papers. Ho took therefrom a bit of , paper. , on which was written the following, in a cramped hand: 'I send you $1 for the Francis Murphy Homo. If there was such a place two years ago my only son would not be in prison to-day, and me working and washing for rav living in my old age There was a one-dollar silver certificate in the letter, and as Mr. Murphy read, it was passed around from hand to hand among : the persons upon the stage. The number, of the note, which was noted by several. ' was B 1500IJG30. "I am very glad and thankful," said Mr. Murphy, "for all that our blessed Lord and Master is doing in behalf of this holy gospel that comes, with blessings in its hand9, . to every ono who will partake of this sacrament of love and peace. You have been kind to me in this city, all of .you. Tho clergy, to a-man, have helped Francis Murphy; so has tho press and the people, but the greatest gift of all has come from a poor little woman who writes this letter. Here Mr. 'Mnrphy was bothered with his throat and the symptoms appeared to have extended to the audience and many eyes were moist. "I say," continued the evangelist, "from this littlo woman and her only son in prison to-night. She sends one dollar to start a fund for what they call the Murphy Home, where a man who has been overtaken by this evil habit can be healed in a humane and Christliko way, instead of by denunciation and by telling everybody that he is a drunkard a place where there will be no need for the wife to goto tho lawyer to pt rid of her burden by divorce, 'Xearly all the divorce cases in' your city come "from liquor. I think this por woman who washes for a living must be a sister of the woman that Christ saw on that day ' when tho fashionable people were putting their money iu the treasury. There was a little woman in tho corner, and when the big folks had gone away she came out and slipped her mite into the box, giving such a sweet look np to heaven as she dropped it and walked away. And Christ saw her, . messed uo liis name, and when the contents were added up He found that this poor woman bad piven more than all the rest. So it may be . said of this, her sister, who has not even signed her name to this note, that this is the greatest subscription we shall have for the home if it goes forward." A wave of emotion passed over tho audience, and again .Mr. Murphy started the hymn, "Jesus, lover of my soul.' after saying that he would choose John II. Holliday, who had received this letter, to bo tho treasurer of the fund to be raised. Rev. Dr. Sawyer spoke brielly. "Where?' he said, "is the man who will stand back in this movement if ho has any humanity in his soul? AYhen the prodigal son returned there was no lecture injected into the parable, but the bells rang our and the father rejoiced that gladness had come to his soul. Hero are Christian men and Christian women all around to help those who have stumbled and have fallen, Let them come and sign tho pledge" Mr. Mnrphy then introduced a Chicago business man, who chanced to bo in the city, Mr. Frank Kimball, a member of Rev. Dr. Noble's church, in that city, who signed tho pledge when Mr. , Murphey was there, something over two years ago. Mr. Kimball is a most effective speaker, and told of a business venture in which, when a young man. he had engaged in New York city. He built it up, and then acquired the habit of drink, lost business, money, friends and character. He after wards went to the Black Hills, and, return ing from there, was in Chicago when Mr. Murphy'was carrying on bis meetings. The speaker said he went to the meetintr sober. because he had not money enough to spend in drink. He did not have even a quarter, aud a few days before he had pawned one of his two suits for $8. and that money was gone, no needed whisky, and didn't re quire but one suit of clothes. He said he signed tho pledge with a determination to regain his character, and had done so, though he had not regained his lost fortune, but he was thankful he had lost his 11101103 ns thelos bad brought him to a better lite. 'T want to say." said the Rev. Dr. Rondthaler, that the Sou4h-side people in this reventii i resuvicriai. cnurcn lias iiai a gTeat honor. -We will look back to this night as the beginning of the Murphy home started uy uus com-riuuuon or ono uoiiar. given by an unknown womau.

(Applause, aud cries of Amen, amen.' This home will go forward, and it will honor God. it will Honor tho city of Indianapolis, and will honor Mr. Murphy." "Lt us keen the ball rolling to-night." said Mr. Hunter, strike hands with and free-" "It has started. I will jew and gentile, bond "1 Put the Irish in," suggested Mr. Mnrphy. 1 en,- continued Mr. Hunter, "and the Gennans.too." He then toldau incident with most tragic termination.' He said that Yiieu a very small boy he had as his Sunday-school teacher in Ohio, a young ladv belonging to one of the best families. Slfe married a dashing fellow, who soon took to drink. He dissipated their meausand they became poorer and poorer, until at last they were lodged with their little daughter

in a wretched attic. Ono dav, after a week's carouse, the husband ami father returned a maniac, suffering with delirium tremens. The littlo daughter rushed to meet him as he camo into the room, when he clutched her by the throat and threw her out of the window to be crushed to a life-

less mass upon the stones of the street below. This picture from real life sent a tremor through the audience. Mr. Mnrphy was asked to speak again, but he slid no; that the time had come for signers to the pledge. Many came forward and nearly everyone in tho audience appeared to have the Murphy decoration. A shout was heard at the door, and several young ladies and young gentlemen in piocession were 6een coining up the nislo to the table in front of the staee. Thev had captured a tall policeman, .John T. Wayt. of the Metropolitan force, and as the triumphal procession moved on there was great clapping of hands, with some cheering. Mr. Vayt put his name to the pledge card,- half a dozen young ladies shared tb honor of tying on the ribbon, and thn, escorted to the door, he proceed: td to hi duty. A gei.tleman in the audience, who refused to give his name for publication, subscribed $25 to the Murphy home. Dr. Fletcher made a fow remarks exhorting men and women to sign the pledge. " Tho overllow meeting at the Sixth Christian Church was addressed by Win. J. Murphy, blacksmith King and several others, Stephen Gray, Joseph Taggart, JamesMartin and several other blue-ribbon men assisting. The meetings at the Seventh Church will continue each night this week, and if the attendance is too great for the capacity of the house, the overflow will go to the Sixth Christian Church. STATE REFORM SCHOOL FOR R0S. Counties That Have Juvenile Representatives at Flainfield Work of the Year. State Treasurer Lemcke yesterday received from Superintendent Charlton, of the Reform School for Boys, at Plaiufield, the semi-annual report of the amounts due from various counties of the State for onehalf the expenses for maintaining and instructing tne bo; -s sent by such counties to the school. The institution is carried on by theState direct, an appropriation of $Cti,000 cers and teachers, maintenance of the buildings and the food and clothing of the boys. Twice a year, however, the superintendent makes a report t' the State Treasurer of the number of boys under his chargo from each county, and half the expense of maintaining such boys, which is reckoned , at $120 ' a year, for each one sent, is charged up to the counties sending them. Thus each county pa3rs $G0 per annum for each boy it has in the institution and theState pays theother $G0, the half paid by the counties being collected with otirer county payments and going into the general fund from which the whole appropriation for the school is drawn. The amount due from the counties at this time, ns shown by the report, is flS.037.2T, which covers a period of six moifthslast past, and shows that thy yearly contribution of the counties represented is in the neighborhood of 20,000. During tbotlast six months there were 51V4 boys in the school, and all the counties wero represented, with the exception of Franklin, Jasper, Marshall, Mewton, Ohio, Orange, Parke, Kipley, Scott, Starke an.1 Union. Tho largest representation comes, as might bo expected from counties having the largest populations. Marion leads with 101 boys; Vigo has 41; Decatur, 2; Allen. 20; Cass, 17; Boone, 1C; Knox, 14, and the others represented range from 12 to 1 in tho list reported. A meeting of the board of trustees, con sisting of Judge Lewis Jordan of this city. Lu A. liaruett of Danville, and Col. A. 1). Vanosdol of Madison, will be held next Saturday, and the annual report to the Govemor.which will bo made at that time, is likely to show the past year to have been the most successful in tho history of the school. Tho last Legislature made an ap propriation for tho erection of a steam 'plant which, besides heating thebuildings, ! 1 A JL' f uas eiveu opportunities lor mversuying the industries of tho school, and more trades have been taught than in any preceding year. The institution has no debts, the general health Las been good, the farm and garden have yielded bountiful crops, and the year ends as satisfactorily as the friends of the institution hoped it would. MR. BECKTOLD'S MAP-DRAWING. Gigantic Villages of Indiana as Depicted in the Elementary Geographies. Tho magnitude of some of the most ordi nary j institutions in various communities of this Stao are likely to be indelibly impressed on the minds of children of thi3 Commonwealth by Bocktold's contributions to school literature. Pupils in the public schools at Irvington have recently devoted a good deal of attention to map-drawing, and attained considerable proficiency therein. On page seven of the elementary geography named is a map of a village and surrounding country, which is to bo drawn by pupils in a village school, and the cut is furnished as a model for this class .of work. Two streets intersecting each other are shown; a winding creek gureles peacefully along the confines of the village until interrupted by a dam and lake in the suburbs, and a factory, mill, school, church, hotel and court-houso are interspersed at intervals on the landscape It is a verv peaceful scene, and not at all calculated to awaken awo or apprehension until the size of the objects conies to be measured by tho rule which Mr. Becktold furnishes. The map says very plainly on its margin. "Scale, one inch to tho mile." and measured by this scale, the creek swells into a swollen Amazon, the lake becomes a heaving ocean, and the buildings on tho shores expand into majestic structures beside which St. Peters would lower its inefiectualdome and Westminster Hall would shrink into a pigpen. iy uciuui uieusureiueut witn xnat 6cale. the school of this wonderful Beck1 A. iil- . 1 A told villago covers fifty acres; the hotel requires thirty acres to serve as a foundation tor its generous hospitality; tho church ex tends over one Hundred and fafty acres, and tho villago church-yard or cemetery, where the rude forefathers of the hamlet are supposed to sleep, is guarded against any possible over-crowding by including an area of something over two hundred acres. There is no opportunity for measuring perpendiculars, but if the proportions are preserved the dam is a good deal higher than the one at Niagara Jails, and tho spire of the church is a good deal loftier than the Kitfel tower. Tho pupils are asked to cut slips of paper as long as the scale and uso them to find how far- apart places are. According to this reasonable request, it is ascertained that it is one-third of a mile from the front door to the back door of the church, aud that the outhouses in the rear of the school building are more thau half a mile away. Tho streets of the village are over 400 feet wide, and there is ample room for base-ball on the village green, which covers a little less than 500 acres. Altogether, tho settlement depicted by Mr. Becktold surpasses anything discovered! by Gulliver in his travels through Brobdmnag. and cannot fail to lift the pupil considerably iu his views of villago life and scenery. One of Sullivan's Victims. Schwarz, Democratic treasurer of Brightwood, who acquired considerable notoiiety during last year's campaign by his public declarations, and who also became involved in a financial difficulty with County Clerk Sullivan, is gradually regaining the ground he lost in the latter instance. Prior to the election of President Harrison he assisted in circulating the dollar-a-d.iy lie in his locality. Some months before his activity in politics he bad deposited for 6afe keeping neai lj $1,800, it is said, in the hands of John K. Sullivan, who was then clerk. The monej belonged to the town of Brightwood, and went into tho general fund which Sullivan appropriated to his own use. but Mr. Schwarz assumed the loss as his own. He borrowed a sufficient amount of money from Sample Loftin, then county treasurer, to meet the debt, and the full amount has been paid into the Brightwood treasury.

THE! SPEAK OF WHAT THEY KNOW.

Interviews in Paragraphs from Observing Men Whom Reporters Chance to Meet, Walter T. Cox, who attends to the claims brought against the Big Four road, for many years had a personal connection with Cincinnati politics. He has passed through campaign after campaign, shouting and working from Turkey Bottom to Sedamsville, and from the suspension bridge to Glendale, in the interest of Republican candidates. "I am very much encouraged." said he, yesterday, on nis return from Cincinnati, "at the conditions promisiug Re publican success in Hamilton county. A bitter tight has been made against Gov. Foraker, so mnch so that the Democrats have been hopeful of carrying Cincinnati and the county. They placed great stress upon the Hamilton county delegation giving them control of the Legislature, but during the past ten days affairs have changed remarkably, and the Republicans have recovered lost ground. m They will elect from one-half to two-thirds of the Hamilton county delegation, if not all, ann carry me county iickci mrougii wnu tho usual majorities. Foraker will be elected, as the Western Reserve and southeastern counties, where big Republican majorities can be relied upon, aro responding with their customary enthusiasm. The only danger is in the loss that may attend an off-year election. Oft years, you know, in Ohio are always counted on by the Democrats to give them the one chance they have in tho State. But the last days of the campaign are so fruitful in cood indications that the interest appears to bo more like that we have in national elections. Not only do I think Foraker will be elected, but ho will have a Republican legislative majority to support him and elect a United States Senator." According to ex-Senator Graham, of Noblesvilie, the gas field which takes its name from that town has a supply sufficient to keep Indiana warm for years to come. "Last spring," said he yesterday, "I was a little apprehensive that the gas was being reduced too rapidly and unnecessarily. The two Indianapolis companies were drawing from a limited area aud the wells were too near each other. This reduced the pressure so much that water rushed in and destroyed some of tho best flows of gas. That has been remedied by the companies enlarging their area thi3 year. The Trust is' covering a district of about eight miles, with tho "wells so distributed that there is no danger of one affecting another. About twenty new wells have been contracted for by that company, and of the thirteen completed ten are among the best that have been opened in the Noblesvilie region. Tho Indianapolis company has also sunk new wells, with results just as good. You will have plenty of gas hero this winter, as far as present indications go." The ex-Senator was the first subscriber to'stock in the Noblesvilie company, and has been studying natural gas from the day it was first discovered in Indiana. The Republicans in Vermillion and Parke comities; said State Senator Robert B. Sears yesterday, are enjoying life and expressing satisfaction with the way the world is moving. "We have no discontented politicians Vind are ready for the next campaign," continued the Senator. "Itis true some of us would like to have had appointments our way, but recognize that whilo there are many offices there are many more Republicans willing to fill them. There is no break in our line, because we are all Republicans and strong supporters of Harrison's administration. The President's course is right and we will stand by him." A NOVEL UNDERTAKING. Ladies Will Urge a Sentiment Against Leaving a Child Alone with a Horse and Buggy, A number of ladies on the North Side are preparing to form an organization the object of which is at once novel and commendable. It is to insure protection to young children thoughtlessly left by their A I ll. parents in carriages on xue mam business thoroughfares of the city. One of the mov ers in the undertaking, in conversation with a reporter, partially explained the plan that will probably bo adopted in the near future. "This has been contemplated for some time," 6he said, "and we hope to accomplish something by our efforts. Wo are moved by pity for the little ones, aud the end in view is a laudable one. You may go along Washington street at any hour in the day, especially in tht milder season of tho year, and it will be no uncommon s'ghttoseea mother drive up in a buggy with a little child by her side. She steps out to dd a littlo shopping, per haps, and leaves tho child alone in tho buggy. Of conrso she has perfect conhy deuce in the horse sho drives, for, she will tell you. it needs no hitching and will not 8care.at any object whatever. That is the verv thimr against which we are coiner to fight. A horse, no matter what may be its nature, is apt to scare, especially in a city where the streets are crowded: and a help less child, alone in a buggy, would bo subjected to almost certain death if a runaway should occur. It is a practice that seems to be growing into favor, and we hope to discourage it. if possible." "What method do yon propose to adot?'' "We shall try to educate the mothers in Indianapolis by the creation of a strong public sentiment, and not by compulsion. Of course; the latter would bo absurd, but the former, we believe, is not. We intend to organize and hold regular meetings, at which the matter will be discussed. We hope the papers of the city will notice those discussions, for in that way the organization and its objects will become pretty genA PAFCET AS A WEAPON. Violence of an Insane Man Keeps the StationHouse Ofiicers at Bay for an Hour. About 6ix weeks ago there came to the city with the Lew and Lottie Waters Com edy Company an actor, Frank II. DeLarranga. He is a frenchman, and had been drinking heavily, and to overcome the effects of his dissipation had recourse to mi drugs, mis causeu mm to bo men tally unbalanced, and he was ad mitted to St. Vincent's Hospital. Yesteruo: morning ue juarranga became so vio lent that the hospital people notified the police, and tho man was removed to a cell at police headquarters. Last nicht about 10 o'clock De La r ran pa asked for a drink of water, and while drinking at the faucet in the cell-room suddenly seized it and wrenched it loose. Brandishing the faucet about his head, he threatened to brain the officers, who, he imagined, were about to shoot him. V ater was in tho meanwhile Hooding the cells, and the whole supply had to be cut otr. ;so amount of coaxing could cause Uelarrauga to give up the faucet, and as the heavy piece of metal in the hands of the crazy man proved a dau gerous weapon, it was at first proposed to chloroform him. After an hour of violent action he became quiet, and wanting an other drink of water permitted the faucet to be taken from him. Caught in Chicago. Captain Campbell last night received notification from Superintendent Hubbard, of the Chicago police, that the latter had under arrest a man named Evans, who re fused" to furnish them with further identincatiou. ivans nad in nis possession a sorrel mare with a white star in the forehead, and a spring top buggy manufactured by a firm in this city. It is thought by the police at Chicago that the prisoner had stolen them. A Dead N ational Song. Boston Courier. A gentleman who was in Pari9 dnrins the snramer just . past remarks that one of the things which. struck him most forcibly and unpleasantly was the singing of the Marseillaise" by three thousand' Frenchmen chosen from tho lending choral societies of the city. They assembled in the open air and lifted up their voices together in the song which lor the last century has made every Frenchman's heart thrill when it has sounded in his ears. Aud the song rose on tho air beautifully turn:. UnULed and elegant, but utterly lack-

inginfire. Of old. when it was forbidden to 6ing the "Marseillaise," a dozen mon roaring it in an obscure cabaret would mllame the entire quartier, and in the fiery days of tho revolution a siuprle voice would raise a neighborhood to deeds of blood simply bysinging the inspiring words. Now it is without force. It was correct, but all enthusiasm had died out of it "Aud what is France," some one asked, "when it is possible to sing the 'Marseillaise' in her streets without raising the paving-stones?"

TEETH COME CHEAP. It Is Hardly Worth While to Bother to Keep Tour Natnral Ones Now. Xew York Fnn. "There would bo no uso doing business if I couldn't sell forty sets a weik." said the Newark inventor of a new way ot making false teeth. "Pshall make a hundred sets a week inside of a year, or I'll find something else to do." Then the inventor took out his upper jaw, and, cleansing it with his pocket handkerchief, ollered his latest invention for inspection. Pretty nearly every family in the country has a set of faiso teeth to smile upon a isitor, aud the Sun man who talked with the neighboring dentist was told that tho number is increasing all the time.1 He didn't think human teeth were any worse than they were tweuty-five years ago. but ascribed the more general uso of false teeth to th5 improvements made in the artificial sets and the use of laughing-gas in extracting troublesome teeth. A man who would Htump along and live on spoon victuals twenty-live years ago will now have artificial teeth. The decrease in cost is also a great inducement. There are dentists who oiler to make a set of teeth for tho upper jaw for $5. The average price paid is in tho neighborhood of '20. and when an inventor, discovers a new method of constructing plates, his first problem is how to produce them for less than $12 to the dentist. These are luxuries for the rich, but no real advantage is obtained when the price exceeds &X. although n"-iy pay far greater sums to fashionable demists. "How long does a set lastFsked the Sun man of the dentist. "Anywhere from one year to twenty-five years. It all depends on the treatment thes plate receives. After every bathing season we get a little rush of business, lne number of sets of false teeth lviug at the bot tom of the ocean is enough to supply the trade for a year. A big wave comes along in a crowd of, bathers, and away goes the artificial sets of teeth. Sets aro lost in other ways, of course, aod a good many are broken. You see. they aro cleaned on a marble basin as a rule, and slip out of the hand and fall so that they get cracked. You know the old chestnut of losing a watch and finding it inside tho fish, you catch? Well, that has occurred with false teeth, and I've got the affidavit of a brother-in-law of the man who saw it. The man who recovered his teeth had to get anew set, however. He complained that roast beef, chicken, and ice-cream all tasted like fith. "It is curious how many prejudices get hold of folks. There, is more trouble to dentists in the idea of some people that false teeth cause consumption than you would imagine. I suppose that consump tives who have bad false teeth have felt a temporary relief by removing the teeth, and imagination has done the rest. Most old people remove their teeth on retiring. but when a vouug person wears a set ho doesn't bother and he is much better off in consequence. Ihe thing to do when you nnd your own teeth going fast is to get an artificial set immediately. Don't wait until the gums are shrunken irregularly. Besides, it saves. lots of pain. A Columbus man told me once that if Judge Thurman had had false teeth when he was a young man he would have been spared tic doulou reux, and would have been twico the man ho was. Just imagine what twice a Thurman would be!" A tfiean Trick. Eoraervllle Journal. Griggs What is tho matter between yon and Diggs? I thought you used to bo sworn friends.

1 Pure Mineral Spring Water from the New-Denison Hotel Well, Indianapolis, Infl..

Tho elegant Bath-house at the New-Denison is now complete. These i7i ore equal to any mineral bath in (he world. Gentlemen's Baths, 3o cents; Ladies' Baths, twelve for $5. The rooms are open from 7 o'clock a. m. to 10 o'cloek p. ni., anil on Sundays from 7 a. m. to 3 p. m. The water for drinking may be obtained on application at the Bath-house. 1 As a CATHARTIC, DIURETIC and ALTERATIVE, it is superior to all, either imported or domestic water. It is a sure remedy for CONSTIPATION, DYSPEPSIA, TORPID LIVER, Kidney disease and all skin diseases. As a CATHARTIC, drink one glass before breakfast. As an ALTERATIVE, take a small glass now and then during the day. ANALYSIS A careful analysis of this water by T)r. J. N. Hurty. shows that each pint contains OS cralns Clor We of bodiuni, 21 Hi grains Chloride of rotasslum, 14 sraiiis Chloride of Magnesium, Ah grains Chloride of Calcium, 22 grains Carbonate of Calcium, 3?i prain Carbonate of Mncneslum, 1 prnin Sulphido of Calcium, prain Sulphide ot Potassium, 1 grain Carbonate of Sodium, ricn In Carbonia Acid and Sulphuretcd Hydrogen Gases. A trial of these Baths will convince any intelligent citizen of Indiana that they are equal, if not superior, to Hot Springs, Mt. Clements, Clifton Springs, West Baden, -Martinsville, or apy other mineral bath in this country. We challenge a trial and comparison.
