The Indiana National Bank of Elkhart, has gone republican. Inability to realize on securities is said to be the cause of the failure. Huntington county is preparing to build a new 1250,000 court house. The people over there ban get a few pointers on increasing its cost from “Honest Abe et al of this county. The Indiana mortgage exempion law is valid. The supreme court so decided some time since, bnt the case was appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court, and that tribunal has dismissed the case holding that it had no jurisdiction. This leaves the decision of the Indiana supreme court in full force. The world do move. At the meeting of the Methodist Bishops at Omaha, Neb., a few days ago the appropriation for the religious education of the colored man was reduced after a lively political debate on the question as to whether the politicians care for the negro on any but election day. Dr. H. A. Monroe of New York and Dr. Leonard declared they do not. Anent the discussion of admitting Reed Smoot, the Mormon republican United States senator from Utah and an Apostle in the Mormon church, to a seat in the senate, The Democrat is much concerned about “Cholly” Landis, the wind-bag congressman from the Ninth Indiana district. It will be remembered that “Cholly” nearly tore his shirt off a few years ago in protesting against the admission of Mormon Roberts, democrat. We have not heard of “ChollyV* rending any linen over the seating of Mormon Smoot.

The Democrat is pleased to see that parental objections is playing havoc with football in many of the high schools in Indiana and neighboring states. This move, we believe, marks the decadence of football, and it will not long be popular for high school professors to advocate and urge their male pupils to indule in this deadly sport. Parents should certainly have something to say in this matter of football. The school boys who are led into it are still being fed, clothed and sent to school at the expense of the parents in most cases, and in many instances at a cost of much self-denial on the part of the latter. They do not want to have their boy killed nor do they want him to be maimed or crippled for life because of this deadly sport. The Democrat wants the boys to get all the enjoyment and legitimate sport possible out of the few years they have before the more serious matters of life must occupy their attention, but there should be other sports less dangerous to life and limb than football. We believe the game should be discouraged, and by legislation if necessary.

Starke County Democrat: It would be amneing if it were not sq nauseating to read theattempta of high school and college papers to establish the belief that the game of football ia mild, hlrmless and valuable as a means of exercise. Alleged insurance statistics are invoked in the effort and mnch is made of the fact that football accidents are not often fatal. The young enthusiasts who undertake the difficult task of proving a good character for football are not to be blamed too harshly. Usually they have not reached the age of discretion, and somebody else is earning the money that feeds, clothes and schools them. A dozen or twenty years from now, when they have had some of the self satisfied assurance knocked ont of them by personal contact with the serious affairs of life, they will not be able to ignore, in arriving at a conclusion as to the merits and demerits of football, such evidence as is afforded by the fact, familiar to every reader, that in far more than half the snappy games played one or more men are carried off the field with broken collar bones, arms, legs or faces. It is not necessary that injuries be fatal to make them serious and worthy of consideration. The fact that skillful players pad themselves on every exposed part until it is difficult to determine whether they are human beings or animals of some other sort is evidence of itself that they recognize the game as dangerous and brutal. A few days ago Jeffries, the champion heavyweight prize fighter of the world, was importuned to take part in the game of football. He persistently declined, and after watching it declared that it was too rough and dangerous a game for him. When a heavyweight prize fighter esteems it too brutal for him, it would appear time for young men and boys who are supposed to be striving for mental as well as physical improvement to consider the matter seriously.

The Bungle of Irregularity If you advertise only when you get good and ■ready don’t blame the newspaper if your advertising doesn’t pay. The world isn’t going to drag its hawser of Patience along the beach of Time to get a chance to hitch it to your interest when ever you take a notion to pause. You must make advertising of interest to the people; the public interest in Jasper County has been enducated to the companionship to The Democrat. Better be on the steps when The Democrat rings the bell.

TAX FERRET CONTRACT.

The case of S. P. Thompson against the tax-ferrets, to recover the amounts he alleges has been over-paid the ferrets, will come up for hearing on demur to the complaint before Judge Nye of Winamac next Monday at 1 o’clock p. m. As we understand the complaint, Mr. Thompson claims that under the law and the contract the county commissioners could legally pay out only one-half of the sums collected by the ferrets which actually belonged to the county. This is, supposing the county’s share of each dollar collected by or through the ferrets was 25 cents, the ferrets could only be paid 12$ cents. They have been paid 50 cents on each dollar collected, and pay to the state and other corporations their share of the dollar collected by the ferrets, the county has had to dig up from its other funds several thousand dollars. Readers of The Democrat have heard more or less about Abe’B famous contract with the tax-fer-rets, under the provisions of which the wealthy tax-dodgers were to cough up enough to pay for that also famous new court house, and the county would have money to burn besides. The contract was divided into three and published in three editions, as a sort of trinity, and proclaimed as a get-rich-quick bonanza for the taxpayers; the county was to get onehalf and the ferrets one-half, etc.,

and Abe declared it an “indiapensible necessity” and a great jubilee for the poor down-trodden tax-payer. \ f■' first contract was to apply to all outstanding sums due the county from any source, but as this might catch some delinquent official —a la Workman—another edition was proclaimed a little later which would exclude all save domestic credits secured of reoord. Soon after the system was confined to recorded credits, anotM* contract was made to make the 50 per cent “divy” apply to sobee-, qnent assessments, and no doubt the “investigation” will be made a permanent go-as-you-please, extending over all the future years of Abe’s reign, if he has bis way, taking from the county treasury about $3.50 for every dollar taken in. Abe and his cohorts call this public economy. The scheme appears, however, to be more in the nature of a boom and spite combination—to boom his friends into office and to spite their foes. In the meantime the tax-payers have been paying the freight Off highpriced methods for bamboozling the people. The committee appointed to investigate the Hammond school board, consisting of G. W, Bel-, man, cashier of the First National Bank; John O. Bowers, referee in bankruptcy; and Horace E. James a former resident of Rensselaer, have made their, report, finding gross extravagance in the expenditure of the public money and that the supplies purchased of Charles Crumpacker of Valparaiso, amounting to thousands of dollars, have cost the tax-payers from 50 to 800 per cent more than their market value at the time they were purchased. Prohibitionists and the foes of the party have reached a compromise. Under it the saloons in Texas will remain open until Jan, 1, and then prohibition is to be-

come effective throughout the state. This marks the end of a bitter fight. In the last few months more than 200 counties have “gone dry,” among them Rush county which the antis selected in which to make a test fight. Judge Truman H. Palmer died at his home in Frandfort Tuesday evening of blood poisoning. Last Saturday he noticed a small sore on one finger, and in a short time bis arm began swelling and he grew worse rapidly. He was one of the best-known Democratic politicians in that section, serving in the legislature in 1869, besides holding other offices of trust. He was seventy-six years of age, and was born in Henry county, Kentucky. At the time of his death he was the oldest member of the Clinton county bar. The Indianapolis News is keeptab on the corn shredder accidents, and has got up to No. 14. Suppose it had numbered the football accidents also?

Miss Ida. M. Snyder, Treasurer of Use Brooklyn East End Art Club. “If women would pay more attention to their health we would have more happy wives, mothers and daughters, and if they would observe results they woald find that the doctors’ prescriptions do not perform the many cures they art given credit for. “ Is consulting with my druggist he advised McElree’s Wine of Cardui and Thedford** Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and it only took three months to cure me." Wine of Cardni is a regulator of the menstrual functions and is a most astonishing tonic for women. It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood, during pregnancy, after childbirth and in change of life. It frequently brings a dear baby to homes 'that have beoi barren for years. All druggists have SI.OO bottles of Wine of Cardni. ' WINEo'CARDUI
