AGAINST THE CARNIVAL

I tniKTt: MINISTERS M) UIIHIH PKOPLi: STIRRED TO EXCITEMENT. irW of Prinon Iiefrm ommiasion (iaa Meters In Mnneie Parlors General Indiana ewi. Special to the Indianapolis Jourr.a.' LAPOKTL. Ind.. Aig. lv The ministers of the city are excited over the announce ment that Laporte is to have a street fair and carnival Sept. 7-12. Mayor Darrow made a contract with an amusement company to put in a carnival, the city to receive a certain percentage which would go to ward the park fund and for the purpose of erecting a new bandstand. It is estimated that the city's share of the receipts will be several thousand dollars. Although a number of business men were seen before the contract was signed and they appeared favorable to the undertaking, the people in general knew nothing of the deal until it was practically closed. There was then a howl of disapproval from the church people and objections from merchants, who sald the carnival company would take more money out of the town than would be left he by strangers. The claim was also made that the carnival would hurt the county fair and race meeting, which comes the week previous. Cndaunted. however, by this opposition Mayor Darrow is going ahead arranging for th- eventful week. Jt remained for ÜM RaT. Geo. W. Switzer, past Or of the Firt Methodist episcopal church, one of the most fashionable in the city, to openly attack the carnival. His text Sunday tYUtag was. "He that is not with me is against me. :tnl ha that gathereth not scattereth abroad." The speaker said it was a rebuke to the spirit of liber alism that tried to obliterate all distinctions between the right and the wrong. Men try t bo liberal, but have to omit the very deepest truths that Christ gave to the world. It was urg-d that every life tnat wUdied to be with Christ must be against the things that make for vice and the down fall of char.M l. r. The coming street lajr brings with it sin and leave moral wrecks behind. It was stated that every city that has had a street fair knows that with them there is vice inseparably connected. A carnival can promise clean entertainments, but the record has always been that the promise is not kept. Dissolute characters. wide open saloons, gambling of every de scription in and out of saloons, enticements for young men that will tempt them as they have never been tempted before, vul garities, laws broken, officials who are per jurers by violating the oaths of their offices all are left in the wreck. It is easy to see where the protit la Not to the legiti mate business of the city. Not to the eleva tion of the intellectual or moral or social life. Not to the manhood or womanhood of a community. There is nothing but loss to these. The gambler, the saloon keeper, the sport, the immoral, these profit in their respective lines. It might have been prayed for God to spare Laporte the curse ot a carnival. Whatever is not for Christ is against Him. Whatever tends to increase drunkenness, gambling, evil associations. lawlessness, is not with Christ. I have yet to hear of a carnival that had not left :i corrupting influence behind. Let the people of Laporte be on their guard and ready to defend the city from corruption and lawlessness." It is possible that the ministers and church people may take some steps in an effort, if possible, to prevent the holding of the carnival. VALI ABI.E HORSKS Hl RVKD.

My heart was so weak I could not sleep nights ior smothering spells. I was out of sorts all over and could eat nothing. I grew so weak that I could not walk without staggering like a drunken man and my home doctor said be could do nothing for me. I was in so mm rt pain I was almost wild. I could not take morphine nor opium as they made me worse. So I got to thinking about Dr. Mdei' Heart Cure and Nervine and the more I thought about it the more I wanted to try them. I wrote to tbe Dr. Miles Medical Co. for advice which I followed to the letter. 1 can say today that I am glad I did as I am a we'd woman now; can work and can walk two three miles and not mind it. 1 can also use my arm again as weil as ever.
