THERE is no more responsible position on earth than that of a railroad engineer. On his steady nerves, clear brain, bright eye and perfect self command, depend the safety of the train and the lives of its passengers. Dr. Miles Nervine and other remedies are especially adapted to Keeping the nerves steady, the brain clear and the mental faculties unimpaired. Engineer F. W. McCoy, formerly of 1323 Broadway, Council Bluffs, but now residing at 3411 Humboldt St., Denver, writes that he "suffered for years from constipation, causing sick, nervous and bilious headaches and was fully restored to health by Dr. Miles' Nerve & Liver Tills. I heartily recommend Dr. Miles' Remedies." I! ' Dr. Miles' Remedies!

Grover Cleveland threatens to break into politics again. A dispatch fiom Trenton, New Jersey, states that he will try for a fourth nomination for the presidency. We wonder what convention he will ask to honor him. Indianapolis capitalists who have a controlling interest in the street car line of that city are asking the city for afianchise covering a period of 34 years. For ihis grant they agrre to pay $ 1,500,000 to the city. Thus the public is given some idea of the value of franchises in a city. Those democratic papers that went off at a tangent when Bryan was nominated on a free silver platform are busying themselves at present trying to find an isue for the democratic party. Poor deluded mugwump! The od democratic party has an isu-. It .ill U the issue of jG or agai- im i finally settled. Congressmen Landi .uul Johnson of ii.diiua ha- aiiotlui nu Fr I when some very sh.irp ai.d wit repartee was indulged in. Johnson persists in alluding to Landis the Inditna pigmy and Landi ery good humoredly calls up the fact that some time since Johnson acknowledged himself to be a giant. There is not much afiinity in these two republican congressmen for each other. A Mr. Wood, of Madison. Wis., has discovered a new method of thawing out frozen water pipes bv means of electricity. He attaches a wire to a pipe in the hose at the faucet or meter; another to a hydrant or main in the street ; then runs the wire from these to an electric-light wire, and turns on the current, which is first run through a transformer to reduce it to a voltage which will not melt the pipes. The circuit is established between the two wires, and the ice in the path of the circuit quickly melts. The probabilities are that at the next session of congress the republicans will diminish southern representation in congress and in the electoral college by deducting from the basis of representation that part of the adult male population which is disfranchised by educational or property qualifications. In such states as South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and a few other states, the

Gofheu Justice Blackmails. The grand jury of Elkhart county will be asked 1o investigate charges of crookedness and blackmail which have been made apaiust Justice George W. Battle of Goshen. It is averred that Battle has attempted to levy blackmail upon certain well known and wealthy citizens of the county and county 6eat who have been known to visit houses of ill fame in Goshen. The methods alleged to have been pursued by him are certainly unique and it is indeed surprising that they should ever have been made publK According to published reports he has 6ught and gained information, under duress, from the female habitues ot such places regarding prominent men who make occasional visits ai.d under threat of arrest and exposure collected Ones and costs from the men. Speaking of the discraceful affair the Goshen Democrat says: Justice Battle does not talk much for publication. Be is a reticent individual. But in this instance he defends himself by saying that the charges now made

against him grew out of a mere rumor. It is a fact that he did send one letter. It was addressed to Geo. W.Gardner, a prominent Jefferson towD6hip farmer. What the exact contents are is not known, but Justice Battle says that Marshal Self filed an affidavit against Gardner, that a woman appeared to sup press the case and asked that Gardner be permitted to settle without the public knowing anything about it. A letter was sent to him and he settled, Justice Battle's docket containing the full record. Aside from this one communication, which he insists was perfectly legitimat ?, Justice Battle claims to have sent no more letters. Be scoffs at the charge of blackmail. Be refers to the fact that the officers are familiar with the proceedings in his court and that every act has; been according to the statute. Be says that this is not dishonorable. The findings of the grand jury will be eagerly awaited. On all 6ides there is a cry tor Battle's impeachmeDt if the reports about him are wholly or even partially true. Several ex officers who have had offi cial relations with Justice Battle claim that he beat them out of a large portion of their fees and that they are willing to give such testimony to the grand jury if called upon to do so. There are a number of instances where it is alleged the magistrate took collateral, such as watches and revolvers, as security for tines and costs in his court and by disposing of the articles alter a time absorbed the proceeds. The public seems aroused over the mat ter since the recent disclosures have been made and nothing 6hort of a thor ough investigation will satisfy people interested. A Cliiltl'H Dying Kequest.

Anderson school children are becoming so intellectual that a halt will be called by the school board. It is claimed that they are getting so far advanced at such tender ages that there is danger of their breaking off In the midst of their knowledge. A circus man at Anderson attempted to put up at a boarding house under the guise of being "at work,'' but he is at another hotel now, where he will learn what that word means. Judge C5. W. Cook, Harrison county, has rendered an opinion that section 135 of the fee and salary law 18'J.I, which provides a penalty for not turning over fees according to law, is unconstitutional. It is the result of a suit against the ex-recorder. Bioomington has a beggar girl who goes around once a month with a paper saying that her fatter' house was destroyed by fire and asks for aid. She has followed the practice for 18 months and still makes a living.

II. S. Fräser. General Agent of Big Four

Ilailway Favors Creosoted Wood Pave uient Glans for Paviug Public Street. In last week's Independent were the opinions ol leading citizens of Indiana polis on the best kind of pavement We publish today some opinions of other men whose judgment ought to be worth considering. II. S. Fräser, general agent of the Big Four railway at Indianapolis says: Replying to request for my views on creosoted wood block pavements will say that we have had 10 years exper ience with asphalt and brick in this city. Brick is a back number only laid in alleys. Asphalt when wed laid, has some good features but is hot, dusty and noisv. I regard the creosoted wood pavement the best in the city. I live on Delaware street; the city oflicials want to give us asphalt but iX) per cent of the residents have remonstrated against asphalt and petitioned for the creosoted wood, including such men as ex-President Harrison, ex-Attorney General Miller, John L. Griffiths, John T. Dye. General council D. M. Parryi president Commercial Club, B. P. Was sn and L. S. Ayers, dry goods mer chants, and about GO others who think about this matter much the same as I do. The creosoted wood pavements in this city are all in perfect condition and to me, seem to be the most beautiful pavements I ever saw. I am not an engineer and hence cannot give you any of that information. "A few weeks since there was a meet ing in Indianapolis of civil engineers from different parts of the country Mr. Jeup, city engineer of Indianapolis, read an address regarding the different kinds of pavements, and in bis address he seemed to consider creosoted south ern pine the best. II. M. Smock, assistant adjutant gen eral of the Indiana department, G. A. R., 6ays: "The creosoted pavements that have been put down in this city have not been down long enough to give u fair test, I think something over a year. This was laid diagonally across the street and seemed to wear much better than the blocks that were put straight across. Bow it will last, however, remains to be seen, by saying that for residence streets the asphalt, well put down, is preferrble to either of the others. The brick for residence streets has not proven satisfactory because of the noise it makes. It does well enough for alleys or on the streets where there is traffic. There is another thing about the block pavements, I do not know whether it is so with that which has been creosoted or not, that when there comes a wet season the blocks swell and raise up i ; th streets." Jacob W. Smith, secretary of the Indianapolis board of trade, says; "Only a small portion of our streets thus far have been paved with the creosoted blocks. The streets that I:a7e thus been paved seem to be giving good sitisfaction, but as the blocks have only been down auu' two years we have scarcely had time yet to compare with onck or asphalt. Personally 1 am derided in favor of the creosoted blocks md t ink there is nothing better when roperly laid. Fnee opinions will undoubtedly convince many that the creosoted block is npny a mre careful investigation. Hie Independent has pointed out that trie utmost care should be exercised by he city authorities and by property wnerp in the selection of paving material and it would still urge the people to act wisely. It is cheaper to let other cities do the experimenting. A NOVEL PAVING MATERIAL. Of all tne novel materials which have been utilized for making smoother the rough a id uneven path of the truck driver whose duty compels him to steer through city streets a huge and jolting mass of merchandise, that of which a cleigyrnan, Rev. J. II. Amies, of Atlantic City, N. J., is the inventor, is entitled to Urst place. The material thai Mr. Amies proposes to use for paving city streets is common meadow grass. For his paving material he intends to go to the waste meadows along the sea, where grows the comparatively valueless grass, which when sold as salt hay, the only thing that it has been worth jelling for, barely pays for the cost of cutting. This salt and rank growth Mr. Amies intends to compresu by hydraulic means into square blocks, first curing it by means of a special preparation of oil, tar and other resins blended, this prepa ration making the blocks, according to the claims of the reverend inventor, proof against the invasion of moisture and decay. The finished blocks measure 14 inches by 21 by six, and weigh 40 pounds per cubic feet. The blocks can be laid upon any proper foundation in the same manner as are granite blocks, vitriGed bricks, or other paving material. Besides being the cheapest, Mr. Almes claims that his blocks are the most durable, that such a thing as a rut or hollow will be un-i

rm known on grass paved streets, that in fact the mineral matter which falls up on the grass roadway will only made it smoother and stronger, the seeming paradox of this statement being supported by the claim that the grass blocks are elastic and moisture-proof, aijd therefore incorporate with themselves any mineral matter that comes their way. Mr. Amies says that his paving blocks can be made, by a process of treatment of which be alone possesses the secret, of the consistency of granite, while the slippery surface common to asphalt and wooden paving 13 entirely absent and the noisiness of granite pavement un known, as the resilient surface of the grass blocks oilers a velvety surface to the hoofs of the horses that maKes their tread a quiet and orderly thud. Experiments have been made with the grass pavement in Norfolk and Richmond, Va., and the result, it is claimed, has been very successful. GLASS FOU PAVING TUBLIC STREETS The United States cousul at Lyons, France, John C. Covert, has written to the 6tate department an interesting let ter upon the new uses of glass. In it he tells of pavements of ceramic stone or devitnfied glass which had been laid on principal street thoroughfares in Lyons, and which under heavy and continuous traflic for several months have shown no greater deterioration than mnrks the similar life of stone pavements. He says glass Is being made into a material known as ceramo crystal and is being widely U6ed tor buildings and interior decorations, much as cot stone. The new material possesses all the intrinsic qualities, physical and chemical, of glass except the transparency and at th3 same time is made to resist crushing frost, heavy shocks and to stand usage. A proposition to erect a glass house or lumious palace at the Pans exposition next year will likely be pushed and the building will present completely the possibilities of glass as a structural material.
