Tippecanoe county canceled its Inst court house bond last week. The postoffice department scandal is growing. Now Superintendent of Free Rural Delivery Maffien has been arrested, charged with accepting thousands of dollars in bribes. Machen is an Ohio product. We notice that the tax-ferrets are getting after the widows and orphans over in Benton. These cases are unusually easy picking for the ferrets, for the reason that t lie party who could, were he living, in most cases easily prove an ‘ Hlibi,” is not to be reckoned with. The National Union American Society of Equity, a cooperative association of farmers, has issued a bulletin setting forth that the minimum equitable price for w heat of the crop of 1903, should be *I.OO per bushel on the Chicago market, and urging farmers to hold their wheat for a price based thereou.

An election is ordered in White Post tp., Pulaski county for June 15th, to vote on the proposition of building twelve mileß of gravel and stone roads in that township. White Post tp., joins Jasper county, and some of the proposed ' roads run up to our county line. The estimated cost of the twelve miles of road is $26,000. Another Indiana man has been hit by the postoffice scandal. Daniel V. Miller of Terre Haute, is accused of conspiracy against 4 lie government, in accepting a big bribe, has had his official head chopped off and is now under arrest. Miller was assistant attorney in the office of the attorney general for the postoffice department. A typical sample of the special legislation which characterizes every Congress has just come to the attention of our Washington correspondent. One Thomas J. Morman of Columbus, Ga., enlisted for the Mexican war September 1,1847. In December he became involved in a scrape, was tried by court martial in January (1848) and found guilty of being accessory to murder, sentenced to various penalties including dishonorable dismissal at the close of war. He subsequently deserted and was absent during January and February 1848. After the war he deserted his wife and ran away with another woman, to whom he ,was never married. Since that time, Mormon and his wife have both died, but the woman with whom he ran away has secured the passage by Congress of a bill (Private No. 473) correcting Mormon’s record so as to make it appear that he was honorably discharged. Now the woman referred to has applied for a pension and it is feared will secure it. It is more than likely that if the Pension Commissioner refuses the pension, m he will if possible, Congress will pass a spe-

cial pension bill allowing it. The prevalence of this type of legislation is well known to every person familiar with Congress and is creating a drain on the Government funds which is appalling.

LET US COUNT THE COST.

Indianapolis News: We think that it is time for the American people to begin to count the cost of their little experiment in the direction of imperialism. The so-called insurrection in the Philippines began February 4, 1899. Between that date and April 30, 1902, whon the insurrection was practically at an end, sixty-nine of our officers and 936 of our enlisted men had been killed, or had died of wounds received in battle. Of the officers forty-seven, and of the enlisted men 2,535 have died of disease, and including deaths from accident, murder, drowning, etc, we had lost 139 officers and 4,016 enlisted men. There were 190 officers and 2,707 enlisted men wounded. Thuß the total casualties directly traceable to the war were, up to April, 1902, 329 officers and 6,723 enlisted men. Many have been killed and w funded since April of last year. We have been fighting with the Moros, ladronism still continues, and above all, the deadly climate is still ruining the health of our soldiers. We make no argument now, but simply call attention to one factor of the problem which the President and those who agree with him seem prone to push into the background. It is always well to look at both sides of the question. Possibly in this connection we may be permitted to mention the fact that thousands of Fillipinos have lost their lives either in battle or by disease and starvation consequent to the war. Nor should it be forgotten that we paid Spain $20,000,000 for the islands, and that the war up to April, 1902, had cost this nation $170,326,586 in gold. In other words, we have paid more than 7,000 lives of brave Americans, over $200,000,000 in money, and thousands of Filipino lives on account of our experiment in the Philippines. As we say, we make no argument. Our only purpose is to give the people the facts that are necessary to the formation of a sound opinion on this important question. All we ask is that sensible men should think of what the Philippine experience has cost us in precious liveaJand in money. Surely human life is worth something. Even in these prosperous times money is not so easy to get that men can afford to throw it away. Yet the President talks as though there were nothing in this question except the establishment of American sovereignty in the Philippines and other distant regions, for he says we belong to the expanding nations —and never says one word about the dreadful cost.

A Startling Test

To save a life. Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa., made a startling test result* ing in a wonderful cure. He writes, “a patient was attacked with violent hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. I had often found Blectric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them. The patient Rained from the first, and bas not had an attack in 14 months.” Electric Bitters are positively guaranteed for Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Constipation and Kidney troubles.

MRS. BOWEN UNDER FIRE.

Mrs. Bowen, wife of Herbert W. Bowen, United States minister to Venezuela, who is acting as Venegneis*B commissioner, was before she Was married a Galveston girL Their Wedding took place in Caracas, and soon a&orwturd, it is said, a revolutionary army and a government army met by chance on a mountain behind the United States legation, which is located in the environs of paraoae. When the Mausers began to pop and the flash of the rifles showed red on the verdant hillside, Mrs. Bowen rushed out to the piasta, where Mr. Bowen, long before inured to warfare of the caliber continuously served up in Venezuela, was unooncernedly puffing a cigar. "Why, what is the matter?” she askea and glanoed apprehensively toward the sound of firing. “Oh, only a bettk,” Mr. Bowen replied. “But are we not in danger?* Mr. Bowen assured her of the mild nature of the battles, and, although it wee the first time she had beenvSmder fire,” she returned oomplacently to her needlework and never after allowed the scares about Venezuelan “wars” and “battles” to perturb her.

Superstitious Anxiety.

The advent of the year 1903 has aroused a certain amount of anxiety among the superstitious in the French capital, no inconsiderable number, for the Parisian is much given to occultism and kindred “sciences,” as the professors of these arts proudly term them. For it has been noted that the first and last figures of the date 1903 form the dreaded thirteen, and that, worse still, if the figures be added together the terrible total is again reached. Then it has been discovered that there are no less than three Fridays that fall on the 13th of the month, a combination that oan only spell disaster. A number of oocultists have been eonsafced by the enterprising Parisws reporter, and they nave done their beet to reassure the public mind Ip Stating that the influence of the •amber 13 must not be exaggerate end that the only occasion on talfieb it undoubtedly exercises an unfavorable influence is when peoph down thirteen to table.—Golden Penny.

Seven Diseases Caused by Measles* Dr. Miles* Restore* tive Tonic and Nervine Cured After Thirty-one Years. "I was a perfectly healthy young man up to February 1865. when my regiment was in Camp Randall X was taken sick with the measles and I did as* enjoy good health up to the time I used Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Totrie in 1856. Doctors have told me it came from Inactivity of the liver. I cannot say how many physicians did treat me but have had all kinds. Dieting has never helped me. Btlkmsncsa, attacks of headache, rheumatism, nasal cataxh, hay fever, asthma, and chronic diarrhoea; have au taken their turn with me. Thanks to the Nervine and Tonic I am completely restored to health. I have also used Dr. Miles' AntiPain Pills with good results and I think that the Dr. Miles Remedies are perfect”—Rev. Hiram Bender, Sparta. Wis. “I want to say a few good words for Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. I have been troubled very much with insomnia since I made the change to the new paper and on account of this have tried various remedies without relief. I was finally induced by a wholesale druggist, a personal friend of mine, to try Nervine. I can assure you it has done me a lot of good. Ido not find it necessary to use it regularly now but occasionally when I find that I am excessively nervous and restless I again take it up as I always keep a supply on hand. It has never failed to give me the desired relief.”—A. Huegin, Publisher “Daily* Free-Press" Milwaukee, Wis. All druggist* sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles’ Remedies.
