MURRAY. . .. . .—• iTwie question dow seems to be will Mr. Dingley know bis tariff bill when It has “met the senate and It is theirs.” It is now stated that Will Wood — he of Pearl Bryan tragedy notoriety, has enlisted in the marine service. He ought to have enlisted several years ago. There are two things, which before she accomplishes, Elkhart will be several summers older. These two things are the annexation of Goshen,, and ownership of the waterworks and electric light plants. It has been given out that the administration will look closely to the enforcement of the neutrality laws, which has put more than the usual amount of energy into the filibustering business, it seems. What Nappanee needs now, and what it must come to sooner or later, is an ordinadce fixing uniform rates for electric lighting for dwellings and business houses. This is just as essential as the fixing of water rates. PitChfork Tillman’s 1 'visit to McKinley may improve the South Carolina senator’s temper for business, as well as socially, for it is said that it was the first time he has visited the white bouse in eight years. — ~ Sometimes it so happens that a congressman will point out the iniquity of the civil service law and demand its repeal—that, is the time when bjtS is playing to the galleries, figuratively speaking, where sits bis constituency. The much talked of and advertised false prophet, Geo. Jacob Schwclnfurth, of Rockford, 111., has met with financial reverses, it seems, for his “heaven” is mortgaged for 812,000. It is supposed to cover all George JaeobVparapfaertrallß. . ~ Special telegraphic information sent out from Washington last week indicated that there was nothing in the original report that Bliss in the new cabinet would make things run smoothly; that there is nothing in a name is evidenced report of Bliss having a quarrel with his superior. ’ - It is estimated that about 400 interlocking switches will be putin by the trunk roads in this State as per the requirement of anew law by the last legislature. The estimated cost of the interlocking plants is written down as being from 82,000 to 815,000. Strange to say the railroads did not oppose the enactment of the law. * Most everybody having been heard from on the subject of the recent pugilistic encounter of Bob and Jim, there is an uncertain feeling about closing the without adding the opinion of Jim’s first spouss, for fear something of Importance may bo omitted as regards his claim “for public sympathyr--— lll^l3^ —VULLUI'---l"l J..LL -. I The Churubusco Truth editors have concluded not to run a financial department. Avery wise conclusion,, to say least. The county publisher who undertook to ryn a financial departiuent with any kind of marked success, is now dead. Country Journalism and glory are first cousins, but “finance” is only a relative by marriage—an evil born of necessity. There is a disposition in certain quarters for political crowing oyer small things—so much is written upon trifling matters constantly occurring and re.-occurring in political circles that it makes people weary. Here is an example for editorial comment: For instance, the new President has disposed of the body-guard, or a portion of the detective force, employed by Mr. Cleveland, whereupon the good people of this great country arc informed of the superior wisdom of President McKinley in this particular. These paragraphers in this instance, failed, to remember, that, neither the lamented Garfield nor yet the illustrious Lincoln, employed men to project their persons from cranks. Female Loveliness May be obtained by intelligent women. A well regulated system must of necessity show its fruit in the face. To regulate the system and keep it in perfect condition there is nothing so good as Dr.- Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin—constipation add indigestion absolutely cured. 10 doses 10c Largo size 50c and 91, '4t J.

Tra®** considerable tadk about tariff down around Washington, and we seem to have forgotten, don’t you koow, just what was to be done with tills Cuban question wbeo there was a change of administration! After all, perhaps it was the filibusters who were to receive undivided attention. The Elkhart common, council, and their constituency for that matter, arc now taking their* milk straight. After both a legal and scientific wrestle over" a “milk ordinance” before the council, the “matter has been finally disposed of by a repeal of the ordinance that was supposed to corral all disease germg peddled about the city by the milk wagons. It bas been Qgured out by a test nowise uncertain that tbe recent big prize fight was of more interest to the people than the returns from a presidential election. This has been discovered by the increase in tbe sales of metropolitan newspapers containing tbe “fight news” over sales made during election times. This is not altogether a brilliant tbing to say of tbe American people who set themselves against any nation on earth as moral reformers; and yet there seems nothing to indicate cause for alarm. Tbe steady readers of newspapers are those who make this great world’s machine turn around in the right direction. The increase in newspaper sales at times like, those mentioned comes from spasmodic readers who merely have a morbid curiosity at times to see and to read things excitable—and numerically, they are many thousands. Amono the ambiguous acts passed at the late session of tbe Indiana legislature, which Is giving the lawyers and officials cause for speculation, is the one requiring the board of commissioners to audit the township trustees’ accounts. Tbe pay of tbe commissioners is fixed at 83.50 each per day and the trustees at 82 each per day. to the new law, it is said, the couDty boards should come together next Tuesday for the purpose indicated. However, County Attorney* Yail has been informed by the attorney-general that this law was disturbing uotonly himself and Mr. Yatl but every township trustee and county commissioner in Indiana. The State’s official even ventured a semi-official statement thut, perhaps, tbe only man in Indiana who understood what the new law meant, was Senator Duncan who wrote it. This reply of AttorneyGen. Kctcham’s is a sort of doublebarreled affair, for it really suggests the inexcusable carelessness in tbe manner of arriving at clearness of expressing thought, supposed to be embraced in the average legislative enactment. If no one but tbe writer of a bill under consideration by the leglslatuYffls to know what it means, then what becomes of the intelligence of a vote which places such ambiguous acts upon the statutes? People will soon begin to suspicion that the Indiana legislature (as a law-making body) will have to appoint a guardian for itself, according to the Information of the attorneygeneral. Still After The Thieves. A dispatch from Waterloo a few days ago says the DeKalb county grand jury is engaged iu investigating, ottilcial crookedness. The expert who haH been engaged to examine the records of the county has made his first report, showing 830,000 of fraudulent orders. Coffinberry, the deceased exauditor, it is alleged, raised 86,000 worth of orders. During the term of Auditor Borst, nowin the penitentiary; over 83,000 of over drafts or unauthorized orders were found against him. Ex-Deputy Auditor Frank Dills is under arrest on three Indictments for forgery. Ex-Surveyor Hook has beeu arrested on two indictments, and the expert’s report shows he has defrauded the county 0f84,000. Friends of cx-Treasurer Fair now believe he will plead guilty and receive sentenco rather than staud trial. Falt’s shortage is 812,000. Ex-Treasurer Sawvel was short over 84,000. With Moody, Borst and Sawvel in the penitentiary and Coffinberry dead, it is expected at least five others, if not more, will go to the penitentiary for demanding the county. • * V..

This has also resulted in fewer complaints of locomotives being stalled with their trains on grades. 4

When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in tbe back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. ’ Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and etery part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beqr, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being tfompelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of SwampRoot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you seed * medicine you should haye the best.
