Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains soaje very Interesting facts about Major's Cement. Tue multitudes who use this standard article know that It is many hundred per cent. better thin other cements for which similar claiais are made, but a treat rnanv do not know why. Tr.e simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best materials ever discovered and othei manufacturers do not use them, lecLUe they are too expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound, and another costs $2.65 a gallon, while alanreshnre of t he so called cements and liquid jrlue upon the market are nothing more than slxteen-ceut plue. dissolved la water or citric acid, and. in some cases, filtered slightly in co'or and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend uion It that his only object is to make larger profit. The profit on Major's cement Is as much as any dealer ouht to make on any cement. And this is doubly true in view of the fart that each dealer gets bis share of the benefits of Mr. Major's advertising, which amounts to over $5.0o a mouth, throughout the country. Established in 1976. Insist on having Major's. Don't accept any off-hand advice from a Umbist. If ynu are at all handy (and you will be likely to find that you are a kh1 deal more so than you imagine) you can repair your rubber boots and family shoes, and any other rubber and leathe articles, with Major's Kubber Cement and Major's Leather Cement. And you will be surprised at how many dollars a year you will tins save. If your druggist cr.n't supply you. it will be forwarded by mall; either kind.

THERE ARE DIVERS STYLES OF WRAPS. Yes! We might say so much so that they confuse, the minds of the public. Then, in connection with this, unfair merchants blind you to your hurt by saying that Yinnedge's wraps are all out of style and that people are foolish if they buy of him when, in fact, there are very few, if any, of the very latest wraps in town. In fact, a few of the most particular ladies have sent off for wraps in order to get the latest.

AMENDMENTS NOT CAKKIEI).

Oovernor .Mount Annuiinin Hit Derision in .Matter. Governor Mount announced Monday that he had decided that the two constitutional amendments before the people at the recent election have not carried within the meaning of the liw. The governor holds that as the highest vote received by either amendment is only 311,000, which is less than half of the total vote cast at the election, the amendments have failed. In speaking of the matter the governor said: "The constitution plainly says that an amendment must receive a majority of the votes of all the electors. The secretary of state has given me a certitied statement of the votes cast for and against the amendmente. According to that statement and what the constitution says I cannot declare the amendments carried " When asked what action would likely be taken in the matter Attorney General Taylor declined to talk, saying he had not consulted with the governor and therefore was not in a position to make a statement. He said, however, that it was likely an entire reorganiza tion of the supreme court would be necessary. Itatl Opinion of Sugar IteetH. "Some of the farmers of this neighborhood who are receiving returns from their crops of sugar beets are considerably disappointed at not getting as much as they had expected," Bays the North Judson News, "and most of them are agreed that the plan of raising beets for thipment is quite a bothersome and unprofitable experience. They can see, however, how raising beets for a home factory would change matters, and are able to measure the benefits which would arise from such an undertaking. Firet, they know that beets testing from 16 to IS percent sugar and from 90 to 92 purity, such as have been produced here the past season, are worth more than 84 per ton. Second a local factory would mean, inevitably, the establishment of a system of good roads, whereby a farmer living live miles away could haul two tons at a load and make two trips a day, returning home ea:h time with a ton of beet pulp for stock feed, for which a factory makes little or no charge. They could then personally supervise the weighing and taring of their beets, sutler no loss from shrinke oud occasion no delay in unloading. This season there has been great trouble in procuring cars and frequently farmers have been set back two or three days and caused to s utter much disadvantage and inconvenience. It is easy to figure the enhanced conditions a home factory would afford: Good roads, a proper price for high testing beets, free feed for stock and perfect facilities for marketing the crop quickly and with little expense. All this, coupled with the knowledge gained by the experience of the past season, will make sugar beet culture in Northern ludiana a source of great pleasure and profit." From another source comes the statement that the crop did not pay expenses in other localities. Obituary. George W. Marsh was born in Hamilton, Uutler county, Ohio, Feb. 12, 1835. Died Nov. 20, l'JOO, aged Ü5 years, U months and 11 days. lie was married to Mary Ann Pleak, Oct. 29, 1853. In 1857, be with his wife, moved to St, Joe county, where they reSided until 1802 when they moved to this county, where his wife died in 1871. In 1872 he was again married to Mirian A.

Interment at Oak Hill cemetery. Stand Well at logHimport. ' J. E. Gibson, of Logansport, alleged to be involved in the attempt to bribe the governor of Mississippi, has been a resident of Logansport for twenty years and is a man of standing in the business world. He is associated with J. A. Iledmond in contract work, in which the firm has been extensively engaged. In 1884 they constructed the Northern Indiana hospital for insane at LongclilT, and they also built the courthouses at Winamac, Jn Pulaski county, and Rochester, Fulton county, elaborate and expensive county buildings. Both are men of means, and Mr. Gibson is unmarried. He left Logansport on Wednesday to look after the state capitol work at Jackson, Miss., the contract which his tirm was trying to secure. Are After Sheriff' FerquUlteft. The privilege that Indiana sheriffs have enjoyed in the feeding of prisoners will be stopped, if the law recommended by the fee and salary commission goes through, which provides that sheriffs shall make an estimate of the cont of feeding prisoners, and the county council shall get a chance at it

before the appropriation is made. The

number of constables ie cut down, and the salary of those in townsbips having cities or parts of cities of 10,000 population or more is praded from 8500 to 81,000 a year, with an additional five percent of fees collected. They Start Next Week. The legislative comniieeion appointed recently by Governor Mount to vieit the various 6tate penal and benevolent institutions, with i view to reporting on their needs to the new legislature this winter, will begin its work next week The commission was formally organized at Indianapolis Tuesday, with Senator Good wine as president. The two other members are Representatives James, Putnam county, and Artman, of Boone county. The meeting waB an important one, from the fact that Governor Mount, as the retiring governor, instructed the commission thoroughly as to the method of its investigations and as to a few particularly urgent needs of the state institutions. One of the principal recommendations of the governor was on the provision for the care of the criminal insane of the state. Itemeinber the Poor.

At the coming session of the legislature a bill will be introduced providing for the establishment of a state laboratory, with a corps of expert chemists. The object of this measure is to add to the etlicient service rendered the state by the state board of health, in its labors for the prevention of disease and the promotion of the public health. The chief work of such a laboratory would be the examination of various food products exposed for sale in the state and the water which might be suspected of impurity. Death nf Mm. Amelia Harte.

The Manufacturers' company is engaged in furnishing gas to various manufacturing plants in Delaware county and brought this suit to enjoin the Indiana company from piping the gas from the state and thus reducing the general supply.
