Dr. Miles' Nervine Restores Health. UNCLE EZEKIEL OBEAR. assessor and tax collector, Beverly. Mass., who has passed t be 80th life mile stone, says: "Dr. Miles' R.-storative Nervine has done a great deal of good. I suffered foi-years from sleeplessness and nervous heart trouble. Would feel weary and used up in the morning, had no ambition and my work seemed a burden. A friend recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine, and I purchased a bottle under protest as I bad tried so many remedies unsuccessful; I thought it no use. But it gave me r( 1 sleep, a good appetite and restored r . o energetic health. It is a grand pood medicine, and I will gladly write anyone inquiring, full particularsof my sat isfactory experience."

VIEWS OX ELECTION KESIT.TS. The Independent herewith sub mits the views of leading democrats upon the election results and the effect upon the issues of 1900: WIHiani Jenningt Bryau. In an extended review of the late campaign the democratic presidential nominee of 1896 said: "It was not a trial upon the issues now before the people, but a successful plea for a continuance of the case. The people have not accepted the gold standard ; they have not fallen in love with the plan to give the banks 1 monopoly of the issue of paper mone) ; they have not surrendered to the trusts. "These questions were forced into the background by the declaration of war, but they must be faced again as soon as peace is restored. The Chicago platform presents for public consideration certain vital economic questions. The platform has not been abandoned by those who indorsed it in 1S96. It will be reaffirmed in 1890 because it give expression to the hopes and aspirations of a large majority of the party." Senator .lamp K. Jonen. This gentleman, chairman of the democratic national committee, expresses satisfaction over the defeat of the democratic ticket in the state of New York, on account of the refusal to endorse the Chicago platform. He says if Van Wyck had been elected governor, the probabilities are that the New York democracy would have exerted such an influence in national affairs as to hae made it possible for them to prevent the re-atlirmation of the platform of 1896 by the nex democratic national convention. Ex-Oov. John IV Aufeld. Replying to Richard Croker's declaration that free silver is practically dead, Mr. Altgeld vigorously declares: "There is not a single honest friend of free silver today but believes that the cause is stronger to day than ever before. Once in a while we hear of some fellow, who never was with us, saying the issue is a dead one, but he does not know what he is talking about. They cannot understand that with us it is a question between manhood and money. Thfly carry elections where money n .rols and we lose. The

tight against that crowd will continue until the people crush it to the earth. Croker and Harrison may form all the combinations thev want to. We will have the delegates of every state that stood for silver two years ago, with Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and Delaware added. We will also have a part of Pennsylvania but will not need them." Mr. James Kerr, secretary of the congressional committee, makes the statement that a change of 300 votes would have given the democrats control of the next house of representatives. There are eight republican members-elect who have very narrow majorities. Representative Pugh of Kentuckv, for instance, pulls through by a majority of twelve votes over his democratic opponent. Representative Cochran of New York has been defeated by a democrat by one vote, but several soldiers are yet to be heard from in Honolulu, who are counted upon to insure his re-election. The eight men referred to bv Seoetarv Kerr, if supplanted by democrats, would give that party a majority of about

three. The Alabama congressional Jelegation has decided to put forward John H. Uankhead for the demo cratic leadership of the next house. This means that the contest for the complimentary vote foi speaker to be given by the democrats would be between Mr. Hankhead and Mi. Bailey of Texas. Mr. Bank head's friends say he will get the votes of all the eastern democrats and a majority of those from the South Atlantic and Gull states. The election has sown the seed for a good crop of republican candidates for governor of Indiana two years hence. Congressman Watson has long been regarded as a candidate. C. B. Landis of Delphi is casting his eyes toward the state house, and it is anticipated that Congressman Overstreet may announce himself later on as a candidate for governor. John L. Griffiths of Indianapolis is also talked of again, Some of the South Bend friends of Congressman-elect Brick think he would make as good a governor as Indiana could furnish. In one of the townships in Cass county the democrats put up a candidate for trustee and he received something over 2,000 votes. The republicans made no nomination, asserting that there was no vacancy. There is a republican in office by appointment, and the republicans assert that he is entitled to hold ever. The democrats will try to get possession of the office through the courts. The grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Indiana has taken preliminary steps to change its constitution so that its annual meetings may be held elsewhere in the state than Indianapolis. Other towns of Indiana are putting themselves in shape to accommodate large gatherings and Indianapolis will some day be cognizant of the fact that she is not the only convention town in I Ioosierdom. A $10 '!' NTEK Y EIT. DuftlMM Hill Turns Up In Indiana Towns. A dangerous counterfeit has turned up in several towns, and from Indications Indianapolis has been selected as the place to work oH the issue. The counterfeit is of the ten dollar silver certificate. Hendnck's portrait and chck letter "li." The general appearance of the bill is bad, but in a measure it is relieved y crumpling the bill, 8oak ing it in water or by some other process, giving it the appearance of a used Di'l. The genuine in the lower left hand corner has the stamp of the Hureau of Kngraving and Printing, but in the counterfeit this is omitted. The silk threads and other marks are in the counterfeit, and, with the exception of the differen ces noted, it can scarcely be told from the genuine. Mortunry. Mrs. .loshua Long died Saturday at Longcliff after a serious ailment of months standing. She was brought to Plymouth at 10 p. m. Saturday and was buried Sunday. Mr. Long went to Logansport Saturday morning to accompany the body back,

HE WANTED l.mio Chunilueo Hank Clerk Who C laim d He Wh Kol)1)P(l Mrtks I onfrstion.

The mystery which has surrom.ded ! William Slagel, the Chart) buico hank clerk, who last Friday was sent to Columbia City with two checl's agprnjja ting 82,200 to obtain currency and silver and who failed to return until Sunday and then with only 81.000, is a; last dispelled by a confession made In Mr. (randy, the banker by whom Slatrel is employed . When Slagel came back Sunday he told a pitiful tale of how he had I een invited to drive home from Columbia City by two nice looking strangers and on the way was induced to drink several times; that he lost consciousness and did not know where he was until informed that he was in Wabash, f, rty miles from his destination, with his whiskers shaved off, dazed, helpless and with more than half his money gone. Slagel clung to this story until Thursday when he was informed that no more noneense would be tolerated and that he must either confess and return the money or suffer arrest. Under pressure Slagel broke down. He eaid that when he had cashed the checks at Columbia City he resolved to keep part of it, buried it in a place which he promises to reveal, and thence went to Warsaw, coming down to Wabash on the Big Four. There he hired a buggy and drove to North Manchester, reaching Churubusco Sunday night with his story ready for delivery. Previous to arriving at Wabash he had his beard shaved off to give some effect to his story. The fact that the alleged rob bers left part of the money on him discredited his whole story and it was sur mised he would yield if oressed to tell the truth. He has not teen arrested, nor will he be if he re' urns the money, which he promises faithfully to do. OGLE8BY8 CLEAR FIELO. He Will I'robably be Elected Secretary of tire Senate. J. W. Egnew, deputy state statisti can, Friday announced that he would not be a candidate for secretary of the senate this winter. Mr. Kgnew's withdrawal leaves the field practically clear for Mr. K. B. Oglesbee, of Plymouth, who was secretary of the senate in 1895. Robert Mansfield has been suggested as a candidate, and at one time announced himself, but it is not believed he will push his canvas in view of Maj. Steeled candidacy for the senate from his district. H. L. Hutson, of Angola, is a candidate. He was a clerk in the last legislature. An Interesting Princes. One of the most interesting figures in Kuropean society today is Princess Mathilde l.onaparte, who is now nearly 80 years of age. She is the only surviving niece of the great Napoleon, her father having been Jerome Honaparte, King ( f Westphalia, who married first Miss Patterson, of JJaltimore. Thus the princess is an aunt of Colonel Hon aparte, of Washington. Princess Mathilde has been three times married, the first time having been sold by her reprobate father to that very disreputable person, Anatole Oemidoff, Prince of San Danato, who, at t ü time, was the richest man in all Russia: Her husband's brutality forced her to appeal to the Emperor Nicholas l.,who commanded a separation of the pair and charged the estate of Demidoff with an annual allowance of 50,000. This has been regularly paid to the Princess for one-half a century. The Princess first became the leader of a salon under Louis Philippe. Today she has tbe only real salon in Paris, and gathers round her ell who are clever and brilliant. Her present husband, to whom she is morganatically married, is rarely seen or heard, as he is kept in the background. He is called "Porquette," which, being interpreted, means "Little Hf." Met with I'aiiiful AMÜWt The three year-old son of Fdward I)ogan, living eight miles northeast of firemen, was the victim of a horrible accident Thursday while playing in the orchard. The little fellow stumbled and fell onto a large limb of a tree, a twig nearly two inches in length enter ing his left nostril. The child ran into the house and was so weakened that he fell to the floor and it was some time before any aseistunce was given him as his parents knew nothing of the accident Th wound bled profusely and it was feared that the child would become unconscious. Neighbors heard the screams and hastened to the house to render all pot-sible assistance. His face and clothing were covered with blood and as the twig was about to be removed he insisted on throwing himself and only a portion of it was extracted causing the moBt intense pair.. The parents became alarmed and a physician was summoned, arriving nearly an hour and a half after the accident. As the n DM was so frightfully swollen and the child suffering untold agony he thought it best to use chloroform. The remaining piece was carefully extracted and the wound dressed. 11-11 of CatholicH. The Catholic clergy at Fort Wayne has, for the first time in ten years, begun a careful census of the ( 'at holies in that city and will commence an enumeration of the members of the

church throughout the diocese. Tt,e 1 work is to be very carefully done, and to Fort Wayne alone will consume severa! months. The census will uodonbt- I edly show a larije increase in ten ears, j

two new congregations having heen established and three new churches built The CrinlVreuie. Conference opened Thursday night with a full attendance. Rev. Zilmer made the address of welcome and Brother Woodward responded heartily. Brother Austin delivered the discourse which was in harmony with the occasion and embodied an explanation of the purpose of the conference. The morning and afternoon of Friday furnished interesting sermons, one by. J. L. Wince and another by If. A. Woodward. Last Sunday evening the conference at the Church of Cod closed with an eloquent sermon from Mr.M. A. Woodward, Large audiences attended the speaking Saturday evening and Sunday morning. The building was filled to its capacity Sunday evening, even the aisles were filled with chairs. Many residents of the surrounding towns and county were present. Two new converts were baptized. Although the conference is adjourned the meetings are continued and will be continued until Wednesday in the form of Ministerial meetings. Subjects relative to different methods of teaching the gospel were discussed this afternoon. There wili be a good sermon tonighi . Sneak Thieve on a Itainpage. The number of small thefts in this city and surrounding country which have been committed within the past few days is alarming. John Palmer had a refrigerator robbed of its contents last night. llarley Logan's cellar was looted. Chas. Vink's refrigerator was looted. Wm. Craig'.s bee hives were stripped of their best honey. Some one broke into Turner's slaughter house and took half of a recently slaughtered beef. Geo. Marsh living in the country two miles southeast suffered the loss of six turkeys. S. F. Cummings two miles south had eight of the same fowl taken from him These depredatious were committed in one night. A much larger list might be adduced were we to go into the history of the week. Obituary. The funeral of Delbert Shirland who was killed while riding a race horse in Nashville. Tenu., was held at Lapaz Sunday at 10 a. m. A. H. Zilmer of the Church of God will officiate. Delbert Shirland is twenty years old and had a bright career in his profession before him. Two years ago he was permitted to follow the races in the capacity of riding jockey and had successfully held his position since. .t the time of the unfortunate accident he was riding Red Monk. He was first thrown by that horse and then trampled under foot by several following her. A mother and two brothers survive him. They have the sympathy of the community. I'arkhurrtt Meeting. The address Friday afternoon was one of the most comprehensive, biblical and spiritual sermons on the "Higher Life" ever delivered in this city. The lecture in the evening was attended by about 400 persons, was instructive from a literary standpoint, entertaining in its methods and strong and convincing in the ethical culmination of its argument. The entire service has been full ot spiritual force and insight, a genuine feaBt for every student of the scriptures who heard him. The Doctor seems utterly fearless in his presentation of the word of God. t .-.- What Shall Be Done FOR THE DELICATE QIRL You have tried iron and other tonics. But she keeps pale and thin. Her sallow complexion worries you. Perhaps she has a little hacking cough also. Her head aches ; and she cannot study. Give her $ scon's Emulsion i !

Never say you cannot take cod-liver oil until you have tried Scott's Emulsion. You will be obliged to change your opinion at once.
