Railroad Engineer Testifies to Benefits Received From Dr. Miles' Remedies.

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 ind the mental faculties unimpaired. Engineer F. W. McCoy, formerly of 1323 Broadway, Council Bluffs, but now residing at 3411 Ilumboldt 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." Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all druggists under a positive Miles guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re-fe Re3t0re jf funded.

Friday, May 26, 1899. General Gomez complains that the three million dollars to be distributed amongst his soldiers are the three nails which crucify him. At that nte it is rather an expensive crucifixion. The latest estimate of the cost of the war with Spain, including the $20,000,000 paid for the Philippines, is $300,000,000, which is scarcely half the amount predicted a year ago. The state department has been informally advised that claims aggregating a considerable amount have been made by British, French and German residents in Cuba during the recent insurrection, and that these will ultimately be pressed against the United States government. General Brooke is equal to the emergency. He has yielded to the Cuban's wish, and there will be no trouble. It is a wrong idea to believe that yielding a position is a show of weakness. Some times it is the greatest manifestation of strength. The truest gentleman can bow the lowest and admit most gracefully that he is wrong. The Michigan legislature has passed an income tax law. It provides for a graded tax and the rate is one-quarter of 1 per cent on incomes between Si, 000 and 82,500; one-half of 1 per cent on incomes between $2,500 and $5,000 and 1 per cent on all incomes over $5,000. This is the first effort of a state to directly tax incomes and it will be regarded with general interest. Baroness Hirsch's charitable bequests are published in the Jewish Chronicle. They amount in all to 46,750,000 francs, or about $9,350,000. The New York Baron Hirsch fund receives 81,200,000, and the Montreal institute Si 20,000; the Jewish Colonization association in London 32,000,000, and the loan fund of the London Board of Guardians S6oo,ooo; the emperor's jubilee foundations in Austria and Galicia 8400,000 and $350,000, respectively, the Hirsch education foundation in Galicia $600,000, the progressive

Jewish religious communities in Vienna, Brunn, Budapest, Brussels, Frankfort, Maintz, si 30,000 among them, and the Vienna magistrates S4o,ooo. The rest ef the money goes to Paris and French charities, the Alliance Israelite and other Jewish bodies having 33,660,000 placed at their tlisiiosal and nonsectarian charities 8300,000. Bishop Gaines, who is said to rank with Booker T. Washington as a "deep thinker among the southern negroes," affirms that the black race must endure hardships. uVe must learn," as he puts it, "not to be ashamed of honest service. If we must work in menial places, let us not be ashamed to work in them. As I see it, it is just as honorable to lay brick for a living as ?t is to practice law just as honorable to wash and iron as to get upon the platform and make speeches for woman suffrage." The appellate court of the second district of Illinois has decided that

cider is intoxicating. In New England the intoxicating qualities of hard cider have been known for a period approaching three centuries. The drunk produced by the fermented juice of the apple was so degraded and durable that in the good old days the wives of hard cider inebriates were accustomed to adjure their lords to procure a portion of rum and expedite operations. A Canadian Episcopal bishop is calling Dr. Talmage to time. He mentions the eccentric American preacher as an uneducated man of smart expressions. Speaks of Talmage's visit to the holy land and of his effrontery in preaching from the same spot where St. Paul preached centuries ago, and characterized his action of baptizing one of his followers in the river Jordan as "blas phemous audacity. AlfoTKACTOll'S LIARILITY. Speaking of a decision in a case sent up from Frankfort, the Indianapolis News says: "An abstractor of titles who makes and certifies to an abstract for a land owner, with the knowledge that he intends to use it in borrowing money from another, giving a mortgage on the land as security, is liable to the lender for losses suffered on account of his negligent failure to make the abstract complete. Especially is this true where the lender is personally assured by the abstractor that the title is good. The appellate court so held in the case of Charles L. Brown against William S. Sims, reversing the judgment of the Clinton cncuit court. Brown had loaned $400, by relying on an abstract furnished by Sims to the borrower and on the personal assurance given by Sims that the borrower had a clear title to the land on which he gave a mortgage as security. Sims had omitted to mention in the abstract a lis pendens notice of a suit, under which the land was taken away from the borrower. As the latter was insolvent. Brown could not get his money and therefore sued the abstractor for damages." A Complete Surprise. A very pleasant event was the party at tbe M E. parsonage Friday. The occasion beiDg a birthday party anniversary of Mrs. L, S. Smith. Her Sun day-school class and the officers of the Sunday school gathered at the home of a neighbor at a given hour and all marched in on the much astonished lady and took possession of the houee for the evening. Social converse, an in strumental and vocal program followed by dainty refreshments made up an enjoyable evening long to be remembered by all present. Obituary. Mrs. Susan Petcher died last Thursday evening. Her funeral was held at the residence of her son Frank Petcher in South Plymouth Sunday. John L. Wince of the Church of God has been engaged to preach the funeral. Mrs. Petcher was one of the old citizens, having moved here in 1854. She was exactly 80 years 4 months aud 8 days old at the time of her death. (iVA Itirth to Triplets, MrB. Hugh Bray, of North Webster, gave birth Wednesday to triplets, one son and two daughters. The combined 'veigbt of the children was fifteen pounds. All appear to be strong and healthy.

A FAIRY TALE.

Concerning An Allt-ged Scheme of Counts' Superintendent!. An ambitious yourjg man from Allen county, whose name was not given, was in Indianapolis recently and gave a reporter a few pointers for a foundation for a sensational article. This young man is an aspirant for tbe honor of superintendent of schools in Allen county, but claims he is the victim of a game of freeze out by county superintendents at the recent teachers' meeting held ia Ft. Wayne. The scheme as set forth by the Indianapolis reporter is as follows: "A sensational rumor of a compact alleged to have entered into by county superintendents at the recent meeting of the Northern Indiana Teichers' Association at Ft. Wayne was set forth at length in the Sentinel recently. According to the story the last legislature paved the way for the compact by passing the law requiring that any person to be eligible to hold the office of county superintendent must hold a three years licenee at the time of election, except ing, however, all present incumbents who are eligible to election without any prescribed qualifications. It is related that at Ft. Wayne the county superintendents held a very secret caucus and entered into a binding agreement not to issue any more thirty six months licenses until after the coming elections of county superintendents in June. It is alleged that the number of outstanding three years licenses is small indeed and by failing to issue any roore,the chances of a reelection of present incumbents because of the sheer lack of other available timber, would be greatly enhanced. A gentleman of Ft. Wayne who represer s himself to be a victim of this alleged freeze out agreement, was in the city today and told the story to the newspapers. "There is not much doubt at all that the county superintendents of the state worked the legislature lor the four year term and thereby made it possible for many of them to grab two years extra service, but it is hardly probable that any such scheme as is set forth above has been entered into by them. But time will tell the story." DEATH AVAS NEAR. Ilemarknble Kncape of J. II. Murry's Three-Year-Old Son. Fireman Wiu. Smith Ir ' Himself a Hero. The little three-year-old eon of J. II. Murry of Culver had a miraculous escape from death Monday. The little fellow was wandering near his father's farm and bad strolled out on the right of way and into the center of the track. While be stood thus, the north bound freight train approached at a good speed which was accelerated on account af the steep grade. The engineer and fireman grasped with fearful excitement the horrible situation. They foresaw in an instant that the heavy train lumbering down with the weight of eighteen cars could not be checked in time to save the child. It was a moment of intense excitement but not of Btupetlcation as has been said. In the cab was a man so nervy and cool that death itself could not unstring him. He was Fireman Wcc. Smith. Not a second did he pause, but swiftly yet cooly made his way to the pilot of the engiue. There he stood; with one hand firmly clinping to the iron work and the other extended in readiness to clasp the innocent. Hut the efforts rf this brave man were doomed to be frustrated. Just as he fancied he could reach the little form it fell and the engine with eighteen cars passed over it. It is true Fireman Smith did touch the child's dress but as is seen, to no avail. The train was stopped as soon as possible and backed to the scene of the accident. What was the surprise of the trainmen and the others to behold the supposed corpse standing and toddling. The little one when exam ined was found to have a broken arm and several other injuries. Its recovery, however, is considered certain. Iog Kill Chicken. Sunday a resident of West Plymouth shot and killed one of a pack of dogs which wtre trying to make an entrance to his chicken coop. On a previous night these same dugs had killed several of his best hens, and but for his timely interference would have made away with the entire coop full. For several weeks this pack, lead.it seems, by two dogs bolder than the rest, have dug under buildings and jumped over fences in order to reach their feathered prey. In most cases their visits have been characterized with as much destruction as so many weasles could have accomplished. Among the coops which have been raided aro those belonging to Schuyler Itosenberry, Daniel Hrown, Wm. McClure and Matt Kyser. M unlet pitl Leitgue, The Indiana municipal league met at Fort Wayne Thursday. The league purposes to get the different police forces of Northern Indiana into closer relations. Each of the cities will have a roague's gallery and identification cards. The crooks and criminals are discussed at the meetings. The city attorneys of the several cities in the leagae were appointed a legislative committee to secure needed legislation. Peru and Noith Manchester were two new towns admitted to membership. The next meeting will be held at Lafayette.
