A Shattered Hervous System. FINALLY HEART TROUBLE.

Restored to Health by Dr. Miles' Nervine. MB. EDWARD UAiiui . tnejony manager of Shcpnard Co's. ?rcat store at Braceville. 111., writes: "I had never been sick a day in my life until in 1S90. I got so bad with nervous prostration that I had to give up and commence to doctor. I tried our local physicians and one in Juliet, but none gave me any relief and I thought I was going to die. I became despondent and suffered untold a?ony. I could not eat, sleep nor rest, and it seemed as if I could not exist. At the end cf six months I was reduced to but a h:;iow of myself, and at last my heart became ailected and I was truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles of Dr. Miles Nervine. It gave me relief from the start, and at la-t a cure, the preatest blessin Dr. Miles' are sold by guarantee, first bottle .NGHVinO rxnptits or monev re- P3rrae funded.

When the railways, the greatest wage payers in the country, begin to feel the pinch of the trusts in decreasing freight receipts, then see a a war on the trusts that will send them tumbling into ruin. Shelbyville Republican. Dreyfus, it is said, will come to America, after his trial, at which, it is said by a prominent Frenchman,no evidence will be introduced against him. The dime museum that get him will utterly destroy all the aggregations that have merely twoheaded men and human-faced snakes. A recent special from Manila states that Gen. Otis has received a letter from native women, declaring that if ail the men were killed the women would still keep up the fight against the Americans. If it comes to this, the gallantry of the American boys will be put to a severe test. The New York World says: Attorney General Monnett of Ohio, has driven the Standard Oil company from the staU He used no elaborate anti-trust statute. He simply went to court and under the old fundamental common sense "quo warranto" proceedings asked that the trust be compelled t show why its charter should not be revoked, because it had been acting contrary to public policy. When the trust saw that he was in earnest it began to make its preparations for decamping. The fact that it has selected this state for its new home is hardly a compliment to our attorney-general." Governor Roosevelt says this country stands more in need of brains than wealthy men. He says: "Our country could better afford to lose all of the men who have amassed millions than to lose onehalf of its college bred men. We can get along without men of enormous wealth, but not without men of brains." A college educa tior, however, does not signify that the man who possesses it also possesses brains. Yet, few men who complete a college course, can do so without becoming better men. It broadens their views, gives them a keener perception end enables them to take a more comprehensive view of affairs which concern mankind and the public welfare. MIO ItOOHT FOIl DKI'Al'W. Rev. Dr. W. II. Hickman, now chancellor of Del'auw university, at Greencastle, h what would be termed in business parlance a hustler. He has succeeded in the past year or two, that he has been engaged in

the work, of raising a great many dollars for that big college, but he wants more and has set his stakes very high for the coming year as a 20th century movement feature. He wants a round million dollars subscribed all from members of the Methodist Episcopal church in Indiana, nine-tenths of which is to go to DePauw, that being a Methodist school.

The three conferences in the state have pledged $550,000 as a new endowment fund for the college and the rest of the million is to be raised by private contributions. There are about 200,000 Methodists in Indiana and the raising of a million dollars will require 5 from each one. In the entire United States it is proposed to raise $20,000,000 among Methodists in the 20th century movement for educational purposes. The church must have considerable faith in its Indiana membership to put so large a share of the burden upon this state, yet Dr. Hickman thinks the sum can be secured without any serious difficulty. He will see that it is done. A CONVKNTION 1UI.LKTIN. Circular I .sued ly Kpwortti l.':tgu Comlnittff. A four page circular has been issued by the executive committee of the Epworth Leap ue international convention, containing information of interest, to those who expf :t to go to Indianapolis. It ia known as the "otticial bulletin " and all those who intend going to the convention are advised to write at once to Rev. C. E. Bacon, at the Denison hotel, in recrard to the accommodations. The bulletin announces that the souvenir program will be in readiDeßs early in July and will be sold at 25 cents a copy or 30 cents by mail. The book will contain a map of Indianapolis and much general information regarding the city. A number of 6tate delegations have applied for headquarters and have been assigned to churches as nearly in the neighborhood of the convention headquarters as possible. It is announced V at a band concert has been arranged for the entertainment of delegates to take place on Friday afternoon, July 21st, at the fair grounds. n admission fee of 25 cents will be charged to the grounds On Friday night three patriotic meetings will be held, at which an admission fee of 25 cents will be collected. Bishop Fowler will speak at one of these meetings, Gen. John 1J. Gordon at another and at a third Dr. John I'ottB, general secretary of education for the Methodist cburch of Canada, will speak. The committee has adopted an oflicial badge for the convention, which will be copyrighted. These badges will be sold at 10 cents each and will admit the wearer to all the 6ervices of the convention. TKLKPIIONK SF.KVICK FOIC FARMERS. The Central I'nion Telephone Company Saitl to le Looking in That Direction. "It is understood that the Central Union Telephone company is considering the feasibility of making a test of country service in one or two Indiana counties," says the Logansport Reporter. "It gives farmers the same privileges the people in the city have, md would be of great benefit to the country people. There are several plans by which the farmers may be able to ßecure telephone service. They may organize a company of their own, build their own lines and employ their own hoemen to keep it in working order, and the Central Union company will rent them the long distance instruments for $5 a year each. The plan would be to make a house centrally located among the group of subscribers the central otlicein the country. For this rental of $5 a year the central Union company also allows each sub scriber in the country so many connections with the city per month, and if they talk more than the number of times allowed they pay 5 cents extra for oach connection. If the farmers do not care to organize their own company and would rather have the Central Union company build the plant and rent the instruments directly from the Central Union company, the latter will agree to that. The cost in the latter case to each subscriber would, of course, be owing to the distance over which the line would have to be constructed." SMALL-TOX AT VA I, IM IC A ISO. Authorities Mut Ohey OrtlcrH or Ouaraiillne Will lie Or.lrl. The secretary of the fctate board of health Friday heard from Dr. Brayton of Indianapolis and Dr. Spaulding of Chicago who went to Valparaiso at the instances of thu tat board of health to inquire into the small pox situation there. They report seven devel oped cases of small pox. The board authorized Dr. lirayton to take whatever stpB h j considered necensary and declared that if he were not obeyed to the letter the entire town would be quarantined. The two gentlemen went to Shipshewaoa yesterday to ascertain the situation there. At Valparaiso the 2,200 pupils of the normal school have been exposed to small-pox and all will be vaccinated. Don't Do It. No business man should carry his business troubles home with him. When the books are put away, and the key is turned in the lock, business for that day should end right there. This thing of carrying your business troubles home

with you aud preaching "hard time8 to your wife is not right. At home she, perhaps, has just as much to bother and worry her as you have at the store. She don't preach to you about her daily trials, but tries to cheer you up with her bright smiles and cheering manner, and for you to add your burden to hers is anything but fair. Let business alone for the time, and together try and get some of the enjoyment of tnis life. Go to the opera, out in society, anywhere, you will both be better for it, and you will both be better able to cope with the trials of the coming day. This life don't contain a great deal of happiness, even when you get it all, and to neglect what few pleasures do come your way, simply on account of business, you simply add to your own unhappines3 and to that of others, who? perhaps, are depending on you for their happiness. Break away from business after business hours, and enjoy life yourself while helping othere to enjoy it. South I3end Times.

Novelty Items. Geo. II. Thayer, jrM has returned from the East where he and Geo. W. Marble attended the meetings of the members of the American Bicycle com pany, a Dew organization which will own and operate p!ant9 that produce 75 to 80 per cent of the bicycles made in this country. The Indiana Novelty Manufacturing company is the only wood rim factory in this association. Mr. Marble is still in the East where he is engaged in work in connection with the committee on manufacturing, of which he is a member. He will prob ably return about the middle or latter part of this week. Flymouth is to be congratulated on this substantial recognition of the position in the trade occupied by this institution, which is the largest wood rim factory in the world. "The Wheel," which is the bicycle paper published in New York and which probably stands at the head of the list of bicycle trade papers, has the following among its notices of members of the American Bicycle company: Indiana Novelty Mfg. Co. II. G. Thayer represents this great wood-rim concern. They can make a million rims for the trust. A ruddy-faced man, hovering about the forty-five mark, with physique; heavily shod with eye-glasses; a worker, a thicker, and one who quietly got there. Happy now; satisfied." Point and Pointer. S. E. Nicholson, of temperance fame, is an avowed candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Nicholson will be done up brown. Because Aguinaldc could not be found in the woods someone started the rumor that he was dead. It takes but a little change in habits 1o become a danger to one's reputation. Emperor William will not agree to an universal arbitration tribunal. AH the happiness of life would be gone from this ruler if be could not have "a scrap" with someone now and then. It is given out authoritatively that Hon. Hugh Dougherty will again ask the democrats of Indiana to name him as their candidate for treasurer of state. Mr. Dougherty is a good man. American manufacturers exported products worth S183,000,000 in 18Ü5 and 330,000,000 worth in 1888. Within a decade or two this will be a billion dollar country in supplying the world with manufactured articles. Gen. Otis has just received a re-enforcement of 1,800 men by the Sherman, and the Grant will arrive next week with 1,731 more. Troops are going forward as fast as transports can be provided, and on the return are bringing home the volunteers. A regular train making the overland run between Montreal and Vancouver in less than 100 hours is creditable to the Canadian Pacific, but it requires American locomotives to accomplish the feat. Of course our own transcontmental lines will surpass it. Counsel for Mrs. Addie Barrow, one 0 the three conspirators who kidnapped little Marlon Clark, will put in a plea that their client is insane. Her insanity is of that kind the best known remedy for which is 20 years at hard labor on a lean diet in prison. A recent publication of the American Bible Society says the Chinese emperor is a Christian. From the way the Christian kings of Christian Europe are grabbing and gobbling chunks of his country it would seem as if his serene Mightiness of China was also something of a martyr. From President McKinley's frequent trips to Massachusetts it rather looks as if he were convinced that it was a good thing to keep the constituents of Senator Hoar on bis side. There is a national convention coming and Massachusetts feels none too friendly toward the policy of the administration. A physician's guarantee company has been organized in Ft. Wayne, for the purpose of protecting physicians who are sued for malpractice. The Columbia City 1'ost says there are a good many people, and among them physicians, who hold to the opinion that there are many physicians who ought to be kept constantly in court for malpractice. The best information obtainable at this time indicates that crops will be fairly good this year all over the world and it is expected that the demand for American grain products will fall oil from the standard of 1898, when it was remarkably heavy. The present outlook is therefore not favorable for very high prices. While the wheat crop in Northern Indiana is to a large degree a failure, the crop throughout the United States gives promise of being about an average

PLANING TO COMBINE-

THE INDIANA NOVELTY WORKS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TRUST.

Tnompson company, Chicago. In all thirtv-six seperate concerns operating forty-one plants are involved, the American Saddle company having six plant?. All the concerns named were represented at the meeting. A Narrow Krimpe. A boy named Firestone of this place, is said to have come near losing his life at the B. & O. water tank Wednesday afternoon. Firestone in company with two other small boys bad crawled between two box cars and were sitting on the bumpers of a west bound freight train, intending to beat their way to Walkerton. The train started rather suddenly and Firestone was thrown to the track. A brakeman who was about to jump on tbe car, saw the boy fall, and by a mere chance caught bim by the arm and dragged him from the track, scarcely a foot from in front of the wheels of the car. Had it not been for the quick action of the brakeman, the boy's body would have been severed by the wheels. Bremen Enquirer. Centenary of Cauip-Meetlnjjs. A writer in the July Ladies' Home Journal calls to mind that one hundred years ago August, 1799 the first camp meeting for religious worship was held in America. The site of this notable gathering is a short distance from Ruseellville, in tbe state of Kentucky. The earlier camp-meetings, it is shown by the Journal's article, were formerly conducted irrespective of denominational lines, but the form of worship soon became, and has since remained, a Methodist institution. Sir. Crenwell Admitted to the liar. John S. Creswell, of this otlice, was admitted to practice law by the circuit court Saturday. L. M. Lauer, Esq., moved for bis admission. Mr. Creswell has been a student of law continuously for more than five years. His otlice is with Messrs. Shunk & Boss, where he will begin the practice of his profession. His connection with this office will continue as heretofore.
