Catarrh Kot a Blood Disease. Kasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections of.' the head are not diseases of the blood, and it is a serious mistake to treat them as such.- No conscientious physician ever hopes or attempts to do so, Tet patients are sometimes misled into purchasiii? and using certain adverted sarsaparillas or other so-called blood medicines ia the persuasion that to purify the blood ia to cure catarrh. As a matter of course they are always disappointed, and become more than ever despondent of ever getting; well. Catarrh is an inflammation of the lining membrane oi the nasal air passages. Dr. r. Logan, of Knoxvilie, Tenn., president Ol the American Khinological Association, says: In all diseases of the nasal mucus membrane the remedy used must be non irritating. The medical profession has been slow to learn this, Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders, syringes, astringents or any similar application, because they are all irritatir?, do not thoroughly reach tue affected surfacestand .should be abandoned as worse than failures This being true, and blood medicines being also useless, to what conclusion are we driven ? Simply to this: That the successful remedy for Basal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy ot application, and one that will, by its own action, reach all the remote sores and ulcerated suilaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh durIne the past few years obliges ns to admit that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cieau Balm, a preparation widely known. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered Catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both 5taysicians and patients ireely concede this fact, he more distressing symptoms quickly yield to it, and a multitude of persons who have for years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can inflict testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by it. Ely's Cream Balm is perfectly soothing and agreeable; excites no dread, dissolves tae hardened accumulations, lessens the extreme sensibilities of the nerve centers to cold and all external irritants, and is followed by no reaction.

It begins to appear that the leaders of the Irish party in Parliament are spoiling lor a fight. Base-call ia surely the national game, for even the inter state commerce law fails to discourage it. Bishop, the mind-reader, says he read3 with his mind and not with his muscles. Bishop should, therefore, be an actor, that he might fill a long-felt waat in many theaters. Tin Republican press is finding fault With General Black, Commissioner of Tensions, because he is substituting Democrati for republicans in the pension service. Meantime his fellow Democrats throughout the country are disposed to adore hiru. The Sentinel is receiving many inquiries regarding the Neal stock law passed by the last Legislature. All annals found runnlrg at large, which are not authorized by the County Coamisiioners, must be taken up by the road supervisor, to be impounded and disposed of a3 required by the provisions of chapter eleven of the Ilevised Statutes of 1 M. It is the dqty or the supervisor to impound animate upon information or sight, acd if he neglects his duty the penalty is a fine of not less than $1 or more than for each offense, and the Township T'.r.tee is required to retain the fines from any f-nm due the supervisor. The act is now ia force and no stock i3 exempt un'cs so ordered by the County Commissioners. Gs has been struck at Pendleton, Madison County,- twenty-eight miles northeast of Indianapolis. Anderson, in the same county, where one of the most abundant wells in the Slate is spouting, is thirty two miles away. There is another well at Kob!esville, which i3 only twenty-two miles distant. It is, therefore, evident that Indianapolis is within easy reach of the gas bait. This week will tell whether or not we are actually in iL Madison County ia the next county northeast of Marion. Gas ' has been found already at three points in that county. The fact that Pendleton is between Anderson and Indianapolis, on an air-line, is very en couraging to prospectors in Marion County. It ia scarcely to be doubted that the fluid will be found at various points. The day that gas shall be found near Indianapolis will be, it is needless to say, a red letter day In the history of the city. Then Fill there be a tinkling of cymrah md thp noise of dancing La the streets. In anticipation of the event, the Sentinel would suggest that while prices of real estate will rise they will not rise forever, and we do not isow a better thing for the average citizen to do than to p-aruse the chapter of the city'a history whic a tells of the ' real estate boom of fourteen years ago. The study of that chapter, in a spirit of earnest and prayerful meditation, may save seme eager individual from going oil hia , feet entirely. But the finding of a copious How will be of incalculable benefit. There wouid be no end to the city's development and prosperity. We could see In the event the hand of Providence, who had prepared the city for It by previously making it the local point of fourteen railroads. It is, indeed, time for the coal scale to think of relenting and repenting, for the gas meter to confess the error of its way and to turn Its hand to better things, and for the defective flue to prepare to go oat of business. The aged hlstorlaa, Mr. Bancroft, la on fclj W7 SWtt to Tl3lt Mxs, Folk, the yen-

erable widow of ex-President James K. Polk. Mr. Bancroft 8topped in Louisville Saturday, and to a reporter, who asked him if his life work was at an end, he replied: Oh, yes, indeed. A man who Is in sight of ninety can promise the world nothing. I have left mortal affairs behind me. All my thoughts are on eternity. But, however usetul my life has been, and, without pride, I think I can sty that I have done my share of good, it has at least been one of hard work. If, as some people have said, I am or was a genius, my genius which, by the way. Is a word of vague suggestionslay wholly In my unremitting Industry and application. And, my boy, I will tell yon, though there many hard workers who are not geniues, there never was a genius who wasn't a hard worker.

IRISH RIGHTS. One does not care to preface a reference to the conflict between Irish right and English authority with the well-worn text touching "freedom's battle" often baffled but finally won, as it descends from "bleeding sire to son," because repetition has worn the sentiment out of it ; but if ever a . poetical inspiration was a prophetic inspiration, too, it is the giaour's utterance for Greece applied to Ireland. For 2CO years, since the revolution of 1033, the condition of Ireland has been partly the suffering of a helpless victim and partly the protest of a struggling victim of English domination, in which but a single gleam of light appeared 100 years ago and proved, as Moore says of the "day at the pole" : "A light amid darkDess too brilliant to ttay " when Grattan saw his opportunity and used it to accomplish for Ireland the good that the villainy of Castlereagh lost her. There has been an incessant change from one form of abuse to another, a9 popular force has driven oppressive prejudice from one resort to another, and the tendency has been necessarily toward an enlargement of Irish nationality. But all that has been accomplished has done no more than provide a chance of help and a hope of strength in a contest for an absolute and immovable position of self-government. That has been done, and the National vote in Parliament is conspicuous proof, but it is all in process nothing in finality. With all that Ireland has gained in Catholic emancipation, In Parliamentary reform, in the disestablishment of the Irish church, in, the extension of suffrage, in the amelioration of the land law9. there is so big anarrearof unsatisfied national feeling for legislation still to conciliate that one can't say of the battle that, though it has been often baffled, it is won even now. We speak of the situation as it was before the introduction of the Balfour bill. At that time the National movement had gained more promise than fact for Irish home rule, but the chance of improvement was good, and the better for its identification with the movement again ät the Tory and factious Liberal combination. Now, it is none the worse, probably, but its strength is close upon a "crucial" test that it might have escaped if its antag mists had been less successful in finding ground for common standing room. But Hirtington and Chamberlain and Bright an 1 Balfour and Churchill and Smith and Salisbury can all fall into line on a measure of coercion, and present to the Irish and their friends one more hostile array in the long list of conflicts bequeathed from the sires of the day of EarsSeld to the sons of the day of Parnell. Except that the Irish are stronger both in general sympathy and self assertion, there is little diSerence between the contest now and those before it back to the first attempt at domestic self-government. There is the same earnestness of patriotism on one side, and the same obstinacy of prejudice on the other, that have marked every Irish contest for 200 years. "All the changes of sentiment worked by the development of civilization in that period have been unable to efface a single trace of the enmity that has mastered English legislation for Ireland whenever the national feeling of one has been found a provocation by the otber. The conflict to-day on the Balfour bill is not changed in any estential quality from that of O'Connell's day or that of Grattan's. The English sentiment trusts nothing to Irish honor or manliness, and Insists on iron-bound laws to protect the interests it champions; and Irish sentiment aa Inevitably concedes to England no more sense of justice than would suffice to turn every Irish tenant into the highway, and ship every needy family off to some foreign land beyond all chance of return. This state of mutual distrust and irritation is English work mainly, for the initiative of conciliation has been with England always, and has always been neglected or abused. It will be not altogether without interest, now that the Irish contest grows so close and warm, to note the points of coucesion demanded in the first measure of Irish home rule ever adopted, that of 17H2. Mr. Grattan, in his speech on the lGth of April, a.;ys: "Connected by freedom as well as by allegiance, the two nations, Great Britain and Ireland, form a constitutional confederacy as well as empire. The crown is one link, the constitution another, and in my mind the most powerful. You can get a king anywhere, but England is the oniy country with which you can get and participate a Ire constitution. This makes England 3 our natural connection, and her king your natural as well as your legal sovereign. This is a connection, not as Lord Coke has idly said, not as Judge Blackstone has foolishly said, not as other Judges have ignorantly said, by conquest, but as Molyneux has said, and as I now say, by compact that compact is a free constitution. Suffer me to now state some of the things essential to that free constitution. They are as follows: The independency ot the Irish Parliament the exclusion of the British Parliamen t from any authority in this realm the restoration of the Irish judicature and the exclusion of that of Great Britain." We fancy that Mr. raraell or Mr Davitt would not make up a longer or stronger list of concessions ot Irish right than was made by Grattan 103 years ago. In the conclusion of his Bpeech he restates his terms of Irish co-operation in this compact ander a free constitution: "(1) The repeal of the perpetual mutiny bill, and the dependency of the Irish army on the Irish " Parliament. (2) The abolition of the legislative powers of the council. (3) The abrogation of the claim

of England to make law f jr Ire and; the exclusion of the English House of Peers and of the English King's Bench from any judicial authority in this realm; the restoration of the Irish teers to their final judicature; the independency of the Irish Parliament in its sole and exclusive legislation these are my terms." The British Parliament was in sore distress about this time, for the American revolution had practically robbed the kingdom of all the colonies worth keeping, and the ministry was weakening under its disastrous failure. So the Irish concession was made lest worse should come, and it held till the Irish, with their long fatal tendency to faction, lost it by intimidation partlyjmd partly by corruption.

THE FAITH-AND-OIL CURE. Pvev. George Barnes, "the Mountain Evangelist," whose sovereign specific for the disease of the flesh was faith and oil, has been ill for the first time in six years. What he did to secure relief may well subject him to the scoffs of the world. He did not, as one might very naturally have expected, put aside the prescription of the physician, against the necessity of whose art he has bo long protested, but he put a mustard plaster upon his back and took into his system both castor oil and quinine. "I was not driven to It," he "by the urgency of the case, but deliberately tried the remedies recommended because I wanted to settle as best I could the question that has puzzled more than one faithful soul, wishing, on the one band, to trust the Lord fully, and yet, on the other, shrinking from fanaticism that seems to turn its back upon the experience of ages." This is all very ingenuous, but we have to note, from his own confession, that the good brother promptly resorted to the long disparaged doctor the moment he himself felt the approach of physical disease. It is indeed singular that he did not seek to prove the efficiency of his own remedy at this, the first opportunity he had had of ascertaining its value. Now, what was the result ot the applications? They performed their perfect work and presently Brother Barnes was a well man again. He can not refrain from acknowledging that, although the mustard plaster persecuted the flesh ("as if unnumbered legions of the acarus scabiei had made a raid upon my epidermous,") and although the castor oil was most nauseous, and although the quinine "set bees to buzzing" in his poor head, they drove the malaria from his system and put him upon his pinsT Yet he withholds their full meed of praise. He is simply convinced that the doctor's advice was good and that remedies applied were . efficacious, but he maintains that his own way is, after all, the wiser way that faith in the heart and a drop of oil on the brow of a euflerer, according to his own preaching and practice, where others are concerned, are infinitely better. It is rather a lame conclusion, despite Brother Barnes' assurances. He should have tried his faith-and-oil cure first, for he is a brave physician who tests new remedies upon himself before prescribing for others. We are prone to think that the doctors, whose art Brother Barnes has inveighed against so persistently, will be inclined to laugh in their sleeves when they hear that he has flown in the face of his own doctrine. They will make rasping jests at his expense, and make all manner of cruel comment. Speaker Sayre has the faculty of backsight more largely developed than any other living man. He appeared before an assembly of Republicans at Lebanon, Saturday night, and stated that if he hd it to do over again he would be very r igorous with Democrats of the Legislature, intimating that he would declare war, etc. Now Speaker Say re is one of the most conspicuous examples of the political coward known in the history of Indiana politics. He was one of the men whom the Journal lashed so unmercifully for permitting the agreement to be made whereby the Democrats elected a United States Senator. All through the session Mr. Sayre was continually saying, after each mistake he made, that if he had the thing to do over again he would do differently. He was constantly showing the white feather, constantly committing a party error, and constantly apologizing to his party friends. But now that the Legislature has adjourned, and he is no longer facing the men who defeated him and his adherents on a fair field, he goes bloviating about the country like a small FalstafT, extolling himself and declaring with great flourish that, should he be able to gej. at the Democrats of the Legislature again, he would.'make mince 'meat of them. Well, the gentleman will never have the opportunity; but, if he should, it is a wager of a tanyard to a shoestring that he would continue to show the crawfish. Mr. Speaker Sayre is a very brave man when there ia nobody to fight within range of his voice. The Kansas City Times has the following remarks to make relative to the effect of the female vote in the Leavenworth election: They marsed like sheep when a hungry wolf is about, and they voted like so many stoughteo bottles. If Garrigues had been a mudturtle from a lake the women howlers would have voted for it, jurt so across the shell on Its back there was carved the word Republican. Instead of purifying they have added 50 per cent, to the debauchery of municipal politics, and proved to the whole world that if they had the power they would make a varitable hell upon earth out of any form of government that denied authority to moral lepers, and put a Lit in the mouth of every garrulous fanatic who wanted to preach a crusade. Let us here in Indiana pray that the women shall be kept out of politics, that they may not be subjected to comments of this character. The Times is very severe in its strictures on Mrs. Gougar, denouncing her In unmeasured terms, finding no epithet too vile to apply to her.

THE INDIANA BUDGET.

A Yoarg Kxn Eillei in Knox County Unintentionally bj a Compwioa. Death of a 1'romlnent Attorney of Greene County The Vlfictnnes Presbytery A Canning Industry Convict Killed. Vincenne-s April 15. Last night at Oaktown, a village north of Vincennes, Benjamin Wise, son oi Chris Wise, and a coterie of young men were engaged iu the harmless amusement of charivaring Mr. and Mrs. Eimer iollowell, a newly-marr'ed couple. The discharge of a gun startled the crowd and checked the discordant noise, and on Investigation it was learned that young Wise had been shot in the back of the head with a gun wad. His friends gathered around him, but he quickly assured them that he was not hurt, to go on with the music. The horrid din was resumed, Wise entering into the festivities with rcore fervor than ever. The crowd was invited into the house, aid when the time came for them to depart Wise was loo 111 to accompany them. He was made as comfortable as possible at the home of his newly-married friends, and despite medical attention died this morning of the wound which at first seemed so harmless. It is not known who fired the fatal shot, but that the killing was accidental and done by a friend of yountr Wise there seems to be no doubt. Defending Bliss Uudelson. RrsHviixE, April 15. The editor of the Jacksoman comes this week chivalrously to the defense of -Miss Jennie Hudelson, the late ma tron of the Orphans' Home of this county. After reviewing the evidence adduced at the investigation, the editor concludes as follows: That the Commissioners did not consider the home management bad is evident from the fact that tbey went and asked her to hold the posi tion till the 1st of May, till they could make ar rangements, which she consented to do, like the lady she is, though she bad a house rented and was re ady to go in an hour, and intended to do sa from the time the investigation revealed to her the cruel prejudice against her and the unkind feeling for her by those prosecuting her. But as an honorable lady, she could not tender her resignation under the charges against her, for that would be admitting them true, and the evidence and the finding of the Commissioners prove them false." A Large Canning Industry Established. Evasm ii.i.f:, April 15. Last night at the St. George Hotel in this city the Indiana Canning Company was brought to a successful organiza tion. The establishing of such a concern will greatly benefit the farmers, as 10.0C0 bushels of tomatoes will be required daily during the season. Ten thousand dollars was subscribed on the spot, and to-day the remaining liO.000 more of stock was subscribed. The Board of Directors, composed of the best men financially in the city, was organized this afternoon and a committee was appointed to select a location for a factory and then visit the farmers and have them begin planting tomatoes immediately. To-night seed was ordered from New Jer sey by tbe company to be furnished the farmers free of charge. After the tomatoe season is over the company intend to can different kinds of f:uit and corn. The buildins of the factory will commence immediately. One Convict Mortally Wounds Another. LorisviLi.E, Ky., April 13. -At the Indiana State Prison at Jeffersonville this afternoon Macy Warner, a convict serving a sentence rl twenty-one years (or manslaughter, cut and mortally wounded Frank Harris, another con vict, sent ut for three years for grand larceny. Both men worked in the shoe-Fhop, and Harriwas looked upon as one of the best and most iuotlenive men In the penitentiary. Warner has been much trouble to the prison authorities, !eing naturally of a mean disposition. He sharpened a knife with which he was working, and walking up to Harris, who was busy and engaged, without a word of warning, plunged it into his neck, severing the jugular vein. Warner declared tliat Harris had iied offensive language toward him, but his statement is not believed. He can not be tried, unless he is pardcued, until his term expires. Death of a l'rorainent Attorney. Wop.TMixGTON, April 15. Captain Kühn E. Rose, one of the leadirsf attorneys of this State, died in BloomfieM yesterday. The Captain had been unwell for some weeks, but lately his friends thought him so much improved that his rttovery was expected soon. A sudden relapse, however, set In aud he soon expired. He will be greatly missed by the Blooinfleldbar, having been one of its leading attorneys and always commanUDg a laige practice in this county and elsewhere. He was the Kuior partner of the firm of Rose & Short He lraves a widow and several children to mourn his loss. Vincennes" Ilote), Residence, Etc., Iturned. Vincennes, April 15. Fire originated this afternoon In a stable In the rear of the residence of Isaac Joseph on Third street, and from thence it spread east and west, partially de. stroying the beautiful residence of Mr. Joseph nnd the Central House, on Second 6treet, owned by George W. Fields and conducted by Mrs. Shepard. A number of out houses were destroyed and Mr. Joseph' tuffered the lossota fine hcrse and buggy. The damage on buildiDgs is estimated at from S5.000 to l G.C00 and on household goods at (2,000, oa all of which are held policies of 1,000 A Perlons Kpldetntc at Valparaiso. Chh'AMi, April 13. An Interöcean spscul fioni Wabash, Ind., says: A serious epideml3 is rHging among the students of the Normal College at Valparaiso. A few days since the body of Charles Purdy, an estimable young roan from this county, was brought home from the Normal School for burial. He had died from cercbro spiLal meningitis. Thirteen of the students at the college are now down with the scourge, and the closing of the school seems Inevitable. Mr. Lincoln Gwynn, a well-known educator, is among the number critically 111. Twenty Shots Were Fired. Shelby V11.1.E, April 13. Ivory Cutelnger, a dissipated young man of Edinburg, son of Samuel Cutsinger, proprietor of the starch-works at Edinburg and Franklin, was shot and severely hurt at Edinburg last night, while assaulting W. J. Parrish, who keeps a livery stablj there. Cutsinger was assisted by Harry Williams and another man, and some twenty shots were fired In all. but one of which, from Parrlsh's gun, took ettect. The row was over the hard driving of a tera be'ongin? to Panlsh by Wilhams and Cutsinger. - , slaved Ills Lire Hut Lost Ills Home. r.MON City, April 13.

Solomon LewiP, a wealthy farnor, aged sixty-eight, residinj at Warren, twi Mty miles outheast of this city, mourns the loss of 12,000 in hard cath, huiH he gave up to confidence operators to-day. A smooth-tongued st.anger called on Lewis early this morning Ia regard to the purchase of LenW (arm of 24j acres, which lies a short dieuu e from Warreu. A bargain was truek, acd the two started for to n to clinch the trade. Two allesei strau jers weie met on the road, who, in reality, werei confederate of swindler number one. The last two stopped Lewis anl his com- . Fusion, aü j 5?; u;a u utui ra

game. The four men sat down ia a little hollow, an Lewis was allowed to win $10 at the little game. Being convinced that he could make a big stake, Lewis left the crowd and went to Warren and borrowed 82,000 from the Citizens' Bank. He returned with the money, staked and lost, when the swindlers decamped. The trio turned up at Marlon, where they took the train for Goshen, and later were traced to Clay pool.where they boarded a Nickel-Plate tria for Chicago. One of the men is name! Davis, acd ail are well dressed. A warrant has been issued for their arrest The Warren bank hes offered a reward for their capture. Dropped Dead. jErn-.Rsosvn.LE, April ir,. The titizjnswere

shocked this morning to hear ot tiie bulden death of the venerable Mr. William Gorham, who has been guard at the Prison South for the last twenty-eight years, and is known to almost everj- person iu town. Mr. Gorham resigned about ten days ao aud was getting ready to move to Louisville to live with his daughter, Mrs. William Heese r. Vesteiday he was uwn the streets as usual. In rppareut good health, and he rose this morning and began the work of loading his things upon wagons to move them to Louisville. While stooping down to 6hift a heavy box he was noticed to drop his head luddenly, lurch forward heavily and fall. He was Immediately lifted up and taken Into the house. Dr. Touts was called, but lite was Irrevocably extinct. Mr. Gorham was seventy-four years old, but s-till hale aud nmriy. iu was an Odd Fellow and bi loused to a Terre Haute tode, out vva -u charge ot Jtntrtou J-odge, of thin city. He ra -ried a policy of SI, 000 in the Odd Fednwv M -tnal Ail. He leaves a wiaow aad one laiu-hte1-. The deceased was highly repccted by all, being a man of sterling qualities. Strange Treatment of a Wife and Child. Veedersbceg, April 13. Mr. Mary E. Stepl:ton, of Delphos, Ohio, and ton, twelve years o', the wile and son cf John Stepletoa, whose leg was crushed by a pile-driver and afterward amputated, arrived here tLi morning, deeply affected by the misfortune that had befallen the husband and father. Oa arriving at his boarding-house they were pained to find that the father refused to recognize either of them, the boy sajing, "Pa, don't you know me." They were coolly turned away. The wile was treated In a still more inhuman manner. Mrs. Stepleton fays she knows of no cause for such treatment, and says she has come to render all assistance in her power. She tendered him the last dollar In her possession if It would contribute to his comfort. The wife seems almost heart-broken at the slight given her by her husband and the little boy Is very despondent. The G. A. R. Post here have contributed to his comfort in every way possible, but Stepleton has showu himself unworthy of the love of his wife and child aud the kindness shown him by others. CHICAGO'S GRAIN STORAGE. All the Hegnlar booses .lammed to OverMowing Corn and Provisions Dall. Special to the Sentinel. Chjcaoo, April 16. For the first time sinre the famous Keen wheat deal of nearly a decade ago, Chicago's grain storage room is all occupied. All the regular houses are jammed to overflowing, and now traders who have sold for May delivery, with the expectation of bringing the wheat forward from the interior, are in a state of great anxiety. The grain must he in a "regular" elevator to make the receipts deliverable. This grain blockade is the reason that May wheat "afloat" that is In vessels oa the river Is selling Vjc below the May option. "Shorts"' are making all sorts of extravagant oilers for storage room now occupied by corn, but are gettiug very little satisfaction from elevator men. Each must take his turn. The biggest shorts a re banking chieiiy on the known fact that the present Board of Directors is bearishly inclined. Over a month ago they tried to down the clique by an extravagant call for margins and afterward by substituting the June for the May option on the quotation dial. Now it is natural to suppose that they will take any action which may be necessary to make it possible for a seller who actually brings wheat here to make his "delivery." Cnder ODe view of the case it seems but simple justice that no warehouse rule shculd prevent a seller who is prepared to deliver his property from making his contract gcod, but already several elevators have been made "regular" which are tot on the river, and whose receipts are therefore practically worthless except to fill "short" sales. The weather is not receiving as much attention as it did last week. Local rains are reported in different parts of the West and Southwest, but the weight of testimony is that the winter wheat country s a whole has not yet been greatly benefited by the descent of moisture. 8U11, Cincinnati appears to be the head-center of the crop-killing bureaus, which fact tends to throw discredit upon the news, as that city Is the headquarters of the great Standard Oil bull clique, and they naturally wish to have the winter wheat destroyed with as little delay as possible. Then, too, the trade is beginning to realize that rain in the West will not fill May contracts any better than wind. The Maydeal in its present phases is a mere guess; values depending entirely upon clique actions or gossip as to their plank. So far the syndicate's brokers Kershaw & Co. and Irwin, Green & Co. seem desirious of keeping prices down, rather than advancing them. This seems evidence against the theory that the combination proi-oses to pus.h the market up as high as possible and then break for tall timber before the grain can be delivered to them. Corn rules dull and heavy. Norm, Beam fc Partridge are tne leading "shorts" and declare tbey will not cover under 05c. The chief hope of the bulls is that wheat may be boosted skyward and the corn market sympathize. The lack of demand for the corn property and the f'.. carrying charge are the worst features of tbe deal. Provisions remain lilelessand nearly nominal. Caught tbe Gas Fever at Jasper. J aster, April 15.-The gas fever is oa us, and we have it "bad." A large gathering of the citizens Ot thisplare occurred at the court-house to-night to consult about the propriety of boring for gas and oil. The meeting was presided over by Hon. W. A. Trajlor, who presented in a brief address the feasibility of iakiug the effort Several persons gave their views on the subject, and from the general opinions and evidences it does appear that if gas can be found In Southern Indiana it ouRht to be struck In this vicinity. Shares were put at f J3, and 51,000 worth ot 6tock was subscribed for on the spot. A committee was appointed to solicit stock, and when t5.C(0 are subscribed work will begin. As Jasper is a manufacturing town, gas would be an untold beDf tit if found. We will be caught trying for it at any rate. Large Keal Eatate Transactions at Muncle. Ml st if., April 15. Transactions In real estate to-day were enormous. Ex-State Auditor Rice and William Harris bought the Chapman farm. A big glass works will be located on it. The old Gallagher homestead of 210 acres was sold to a Cincinnati syndicate. The Volney, Wilson and other large farms have all been sold.
