Results cf the experimental injections of Dr. Brow nSequard's elixir of life are being reported in a way far from pleasing to the patients, the operating physicians and those people who put faith in the new remedy. Several weeks ago the arm of Michael Kiuney of Columbia City was injected with the fluid and within a half
hour the man walked to the depot without his erutche. This fact was telegraphed to newspapers all over the country. Lqual circulation, however, was not given the other fact that a few days after he arrived home Kinney telegraphed for his crutches and has needed them badly ever since. And now the poor fllow expects to go to Mt. Clemens. Mich., for treatment at the springs there. He declares that oon after the elixir had been injected a hard lump appeared on his left wrist where the surf eon I. a 1 made the incision. The spot was inced and nearly a pint of blood was extracted. Kinney is eonlident that the blood in his entire system was poisoned by the strange injection.and the question becomes pertinent how far is a physician justified in thus experDentin; with the health of a patient.

The brakeman, supposing the ear to be far enough on the aide track to admit of the free pauaje of the train, did not signal the engineer to stop, and on approaching it the train came against the ear, throwing it crosswise of the track.

In the spring of 1887 Bailey bought the Humbert farm for ..600 and gave Humbert in payment worthless notes, secured by mortgage on swarup lands in the Northwestern part of the state, which he represented to be good and valuable security.

Humbert is left penniless and in destitute circumstances and the general feeling in the communty is that Bailey's punishment was not commensurate with the crime, which was no fault of the jury but of the law.

Considerable excitement is manifested in Orange county, near 1'aoli, on account of several incendiary fires occurring there during tbe past few nights. It is intimated and believed that White Caps are at the bottom of these outrag"s. On Sunday night four stacks of hay belonging to Thomas Braxton, a wealthy farmer, wre burned, and on the following day Mr. Braxton had a young man named lluddleson anestedon the charge of arson. lluddleson ;ive bail and was released, and on the same tiiht a large straw stack belonging to Mr. Braxton was set on fire and consumed. The White Caps whinped two men in Harrison county Monday night On the 1st of August Mrs. Richard Maddox, with her little daughter, started from Bedford n a visit to her husband's sister at Loogootee. But instead of getting olf the train at Mitchell she kept on to Iniisville. From there all truce of her was lost until a few weeks ago, when her husband received a letter from her, d.sted at Indianapolis, in which she stated she had left him lorever, and by the time he received the letter she woulJ be on her road to California. Later on he received another letter that was mailed on the lionisville fe Knoxviile railroad and sent to Indianapolis under cover for the postmaster to mail to Bedford, since w hich time nothing has been beard from her. .ew Albany ljer. If all the stories told by rjuail hunters were true it would not be long till the country wss depopulated of these birds. One hunter snys he killed eighty-one quails in a two days' hunt; another that he killed seventy-six in a single day, another sixty-four, another fifty-six, another fifty-five, and so on through twenty others whose claims ranged from thirty to fifty. But there are a f?w honest quail hunters. One of the test shots io the city said: "I hunted hard all day with ns good a dog an there is in the state and got thirteen quails. I think very few of the best shots get over twenty in a bard lay's work. I have found quails very scarce, and they are always very wild from the regimental fiiHilade with shot guns on them."

After election TllE SEM1NEL brought forth its biggest, gamiest rooster, and the house walls of every good democrat may be seen decorated with the same. It is said that Tlirt SENTINEL has a sort of pstent right to use the rooster as an emblem 01 victory, as it originated the custom, in at least as far as is confined to the newspaper world. It wns away back in tha forties when Chapman, the editor, was a candidate for Hancock county. As the campaign progressed prospects for success became very bright and an enthusiastic follower wrote a letterin which he used the words: "Crow, Chapman, crow." Consequently, when the news of victory arrived some days later a rooster appeared in The Sf.ntINKl'8 next issue. Chapman crowed.

Very Unbecoming. Lovely tints in tho wrong place sre reft of their charm. A lomon-colorod countenance tha peculiar endowment of our pig-tailed brethren who "hit the pipe" is unbecoming. It suggests bile going astray, and the Inference is correct. Pstn beneath the ribs and shoulder-blades, constipation, dyspepsls, furred tongue and sick hralachrs supplement this indication of tbe billons. For lircr complaint and its multifarious symptoms, Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters is an infallible specific It relaxes tbe bowels sufficiently, but without griping or violence. To the secretion of bile it gives a due impulse, but banishes an excess of that saffron-colored principle front the blood. Sick headaches, sourness of the breath and fur upon the tongue disappear when it is ued. It renews digestion, fortifies the system against malaria, counteracts rhutnatio tendency, and remedies inaction of the kidneys.
