Dr. Miles Nervine Restores Health. ÜNCLE EZEKIEL OBEAR, assessor and tax collector, Beverly, Mass., who has passed the 80th lifo mile stone, says: "Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine has done a great deal of good. I suffered foryears 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 f : 'eud recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine, .' n.l I purchased a bottle under protest as I l.jt J tried so many remedies unsuccessful-, I thought it no uso. But it gave me r .-. ful sleep, a good appetite and restored im-s to energetic health.

It is suggested that Spain might get partially even with the United States by protesting against the atrocities in Geoigia as we did regarding Weylerism in Cuba. The Tenth Legion of the United Society of Christian Endeavor is an enrollment of all Christians that make it a practice to give to religious work one-tenth of their incomes. The enrollment last week reached 13,932. All members of the order of the Sons of the Revolution who fought in the late war with Spain are to be honored with mexlals made from Spanish cannon captured during the war. This is recognizing patriotic services and also putting old metal to good use. A suit to test the law regulating the fees and salaries of county officers in this state has reached the supreme court and a decision may be expected soon. Some of the best legal talent in the state is engaged on the case which comes up from Madison county, where the recorder refused to be governed by the legislative acts of 1S91 and 1S95, claiming that they are unconstitutional. Complete returns from the town election at Rochester, Ind., show that the republicans elected one of their candidates, Smith, by a majority of 51. The other three successful (democratic) candidates received respectively, 7S, 10 and 37 majority. The total vote was about 900. The Sentinel, speaking of the result, says: 4It was a democratic victory. The independent voter simply named his men." Mr. I.0 vet t on TruittH. Culver, Ind., May C Hon. J. W. Lovett, of Anderson, delivered an addreBB last night to tbe cadets of the Culver Militär) Academy on the subject of "The Modern Trust." The speaker reviewed briefly the growth of American manufacturing during the present century, treating it under three beads : First, the period of the work shop, when tbe methods of hand man ufacture were in vogue and each mechanic worked as an individual, and when leuor unions and great aggrega tions cf capital were unknown; second, the period of the factory, when large enterprises were carried on under cor porate powers, .whe,n the workingmen were divided into groups or classes, and
when the individual mechanic was governed by the rules of the union or class to which he belonged; third, the period of trusts (present time), when gigantic corporations, with immense aggregation of capital, seek to control the manufacture and sale of almost every Btaple commodity. Under the last head the manner of forming these organizations, their methods of doiDg business and the means employed to control the markets were explained, with some suggestions as to the duty of the state in relation to capital and labor.

Mrs. Koswell liailey, who lives in the country near Trinity church, was badly bruised in a runaway which took place Saturday. She was driving a mare, while a colt followed. When the car nage drew near Ned Marsh's barn, a horse tied therein, by some strange chance became infuriated and breaking halter and bars, rushed from the premises and made for the little colt. The colt's mother, which Mrs. Koswell drove, dashed forward to protect its offspring and resist the invader. The result was a terrific battle between the two horses, which however, was stopped by two men who happened to be walking along the road. Their interference was timely, but did not prevent Mre. lloswell from being thrown from the buggy when one of the lines snapped. In her efforts to aid in parting the two horses she fell in under the one she had been driving and was badly bruised. She has been confined to the bed since the accident but is convalescing. Farmern Caught by a Fraud. Wabash county has been flooded with letters from the Universal Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, offering 50 a month for agents who are to remain at home and do no canvassing. Several farmers, favored with the proposition, decided to give up agriculture and devote themselves to (he service of the publishing company, one man offering his place for sale. The banks have been investigating, through their Philadelphia correspondents, and they rtport that there is no such concern. A large number ot would be employes, bowever, in that county sent on 50 cents each for particulars, and are bewailing the loss of their investment Stoltecker-Martth Marriage. Mary E. Marsh, daughter of Geo. A. Marsh, a prominent farmer of West township left for Chicago last week, where she visited several days.

LETTEK FROM MANILA.
Hurrv Dawes Writes a Graphic Description of III Ocean Voyage antl Artventures of Capt. John Capron. Beginning with his oceaD voyage, he says: You talk about your sick boys down south: they were not in it. Whichever way J would turn my head, some fellowwould be down on his knees with his head run in a pail, shouting uNew York"; another would have his head out of one of the port holes, feeding the fishes to a finish. I will have to plead guilty to the same charge myself, for my three trips across the Atlantic previous to this one did not help me out any, as it made me wish I could g;t off and walk at meal times. When 1 would be passing the grub around, the two men that sat at the ends of the tables would have to hold me there to keep me from rolling away. The ship rocked worse than a cradle. Our course across the Atlantic to Gibraltar was a little south of the Azure islands, which we saw on the 27th. When taps sounded on the night of Jan. 31, every man was on deck "rubber-ceckiug" at the lights that were shining oil the coaft of Spain and Africa. It took us till 12 o'clock, Feb. 1, to get through the Strait of Gibraltar and drop anchor in the harbor on the west sida of the Hock of Gibraltar, which is one of the finest plaees 1 ever saw in my life. The rock is not quite as high as Lookout mountain, but the scenery is beautiful. The enlisted men were not allowed to go on shore, but our ollicers and families went at every 6top we made. After coaling up and getting fresh supplies, we sailed out of Gibraltar at 3 o'clock on the evening of the 4th for Port Said, Egypt. Our voyage through the Mediterranean eea was a pleasant one, as there was scarcely a ripple on the water. We had the pleasure of seeing land most of the way to Port Said, which we reached at 12 o'clock, Feb. 11, and anchored right at the mouth of the Suez canal and about 50 yards from shore. A dispatch came aboard about the fight that broke out in Manila on the morning of the 5th. When leaving the Gulf of Suez to go into the lied sea, we had the pleasure of seeing Mount Sinia, where the ten commandments were written and where Moses crossed the lied sea into Egypt. Our voyage through the Indian ocean and Arabian sea was a pleasant one. On Feb. 22, Washington's birthday, we had a swell dinner. We anived at Singapore at 7 o'clock on tbe night of March 4, and sailed for Manila at 5 o'clock on the morning of the 5th. We had it a little rough in the China sea, but nothing to speak of taking everything into consideration. We had a fine voyage of 12,000 miles in all by water, which took us 52 days. We dropped anchor in front of Admiral Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, at 10 o'clock, March 10. The battalion of the 17th went ashore the same day to help hold a position on the left of the firing line, but our regiment did not go ashore till the 11th. Before we left the ship Admiral Dewey came aboard but did not stay long. When we got out of the lighters and stepped ashore we had one hour's rest before we commenced our march of two miles to our camping ground, but it made me more tired than any march I was ever in before. We pitched our st.elter tents and went to bed for that night. On the 12th we moved into Boine Spanish cavalry barracks which guard the suspension bridge over the Pasig river. It is nothing to see a dead nigger come floating down this river. What I have seen of Manila in the short time I have been here I think it will be a nice place when the boys in blue get through with it. Every thing around town is getting put in American style by the prisoners that have been captured. Our company has been doing provost guard around what they call Chinatown, and any man seen on the streets after 7 o'clock at night, unless it is an American soldier, is liaable to turn up his tots. We have to keep a strict guard or the first thing we know the whole town would be on fire. I could not begin to count the fires that have been around the town since we have been here. Two privates out of 14th U. S. infantry hud to use their guns on two Filipinos the other night. After they had ßhot at them they walked over to see what they were up to. One had a box of matches in his hand and tne other one was in the act of setting fire to a house. If they had succeeded in setting that house ou tire it would have burned the whole of the bamboo settlement. I have not heard any news from the firing line today, but the Filipinos believe in Sunday fighting, but there is likely to be a little mix up before moving. Our troops are not doing much charging; at present they are laying in the intrenchments and keeping them out of town till the f ther transports land that are now on their way over here. When they all get here I guess there will be a hot time for a little while Every thing around here is cheap. You can buy the best cigar that is made for 2 cents, but I guess many of the men will quit chewing tobacco for we can not get aay. We are all living fine; in fact I would not wish for anything better than the food we are getting now. Fresh beef is tan out every day to the boys that are on the firing line. We get
