A POOR GO OVER.

The action of the Wabash river pilots and masters, who hold license from the federal goverment, looking to the enforcement of the law against the Big Four Railroad company for failure to put a draw in its bridge over the river at this point, is likely to arouse interest in a movement that had been already started to secure appropriations for the improvements of the upper Wabash. The steamboatmen who went before United States Commissioner Higgins yesterday will submit their complaint to the secretary of war. Under the federal laws the secretary of war has full power over navigable streams, and there are heavy penalties for violation of the laws. In such a case as the one here there is a fine of $5,000, and a cumulative penalty if the obstructtion is not removed. The Big Four’s bridge that went down with a freight train last February had a draw in the second spin from the wYst bank. One pier on which it rested was undermined by ,the current. The company’s engineer decided that this pier should be abandoned, and that a steel 224 feet in length be thrown from the bank to the second pier. This is what is now being done and which deprives the bridge of a draw. The steam boatmen say that even in the lowest stage of water the boats will not bo able to pass under the bridge. The Vnndaliu bridge is down stream from the Big Four and the national road Wilgon bridge is below the .Vandaliol Both the latter have draws, but the one in the - wagon bridge is no longer over the channel and is useless. From the wagon bridge to the bridge at Vincennes there is no wagon bridge- over the river. Some months ago a petition was circulated in Sullivan county asking congress to pass a law permitting the construction of a bridge over the river from a point in that county to the Illinois shore. There is a railroad bridge in Sullivan county, that of the old Indiana & Illinois Southern, now a division of the Illinois Central, running from Switz City to Effingham, and it is the only bridge between Terre Haute and Vincennes. Since 1881 the appropriations for the river above Vincennes have been small and not regular, so that only a little work in snagging has been done. In his annual report just made, General Wilson, of the engineer corps of the war department says: "The original project of 1872 contemplated special improvements at twelve designated points, and a general improvement of (he river from its mouth to LaFayette, by means of A light draft boats and dredges, and until 1881 appropriations were applicable to this whole stretch of river. The act of congress in 1881 separated the river into two sections, with Vincennes as the dividing point.” The Ohio Valley Improvement association, which was organized a few years ago to promote a comprehensive plan of improvement of the Ohio and its navigable tributaries, will endeavor to awaken interest in the territory of the-Wabash valley up to this city at least, to the end that pressure may be brought to bear on the respective congressmen. The association’s scheme is to construct dams and locks, such as have been constructed in the Ohio at Wheeling and Pittsburg. The Wabash, as the most important northern tributary of the Ohio, is included in the scheme.

LaFayette people were very much concerned and dissatisfied with the census bureau’s figures as

If there have been omissions to that number here, who shall say that a similar number have not been added to the lists in other places? There is really more inducement to pad the lists than to overlook three thousand names. The effect and value of what has been learned here is that the census of 1900 is far from reliable. It makes one skeptical of the whole work of the department. It is a shabby thing, shabbily done, and of little real value. And the hateful thing of it all is that the published result will have to be accepted by the people, and will stand as record truth for the rest of the nation’s history.’’

HOW TO CURE CROUP.

PENINSULAR

Mr. R. Gray, who lived near Amenin, Dutchess county, N. Y., says: “Chamberlain’s Cough remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a fine children’s remedy for croup and never fails to cure.’ When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croup cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. This should bo borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough Reun ly kept at hand ready for instant use ns soon soon as these symptom appear. For sale by J, W. Holli'.i & Coi, druggists.

of the ponce ia the state of Indiana to issue a warrant when the proper affidavit is tiled, authorizing the constable or officer of the fish and game commission to search any house, cold storage plant or place where any kind of game is supposed to be kept when the possession of such game is prohibited by the law. Provision is also made for fishing.

LESS LAW

What the Wardens Want the Coming Legislature to Prescribe.

It is over n month until the legislature meets, but already several proposed changes in the road and dog laws have appeared. These two subjects are the salvation of the plug legislator. In the first place, the people are used to having new laws on these subjects every time the legislature meets. And then we've had such bad dog and road laws that there is hardly any possibility of our getting any worse ones. If a man is so fortunate as to get into the legislature, he feels that it is up to him to get some kind of a law enrolled on the statute book. If he has the seeds of wisdom in him, he realizes after a few years that the best service he can render his constituents is to be present at roll-call on every bill and always vote “no.” There are exceptions, but this is a most excellent rule. Lecky, or some other learned man, says that the chief triumphs of modern reform have been in the repeal of injust laws. The Indiana legislature could put in the sixty days allowed it very profitably in repealing laws. We may need a few more laws, but we have lived so far without them, and we can live two more years. Let us have a whole session of judicious repeal.—Ex.

E. E. Earle, deputy fish and game warden of Indiana, says a meeting of the prominent sportsmen of the state will be held in a few days to recommend amendments to the fish and game laws of the state. He favors the following bill:

AN EDITOR’S KICK.

For eight lotig years we have made it our business to furnish the people of this part of the country with the news of the day. During this time we have consistently endeavored to publish nothing in any way offensive to religion or good morals. Never once in the course of our editorship have we stooped to accept the bribe of the politician, or lent our influence for money. And what has been our compensation for such meritorious service? During the time we have published this paper we have been obliged to accept, in payment of subscriptions, every known article which can be raised in or upon the soil of this county—from a stack of fodder to a pint of beans. We have seen as many as two barrels of apples, three bushels of potatoes, two quarts of dried apples, a pig, two chickens, three dozen eggs and a duck in our office at one time, all presented to us by wellmeaning patrons in lieu of their subscriptions. Of these things we never made complaint, but when we, a bachelor, are repuested by an impecunious subscriber to accept infant apparel, including bib and bottle, we believe it is time to register our objections, and therefore we must insist that hereafter only bona fide legal tender be offered to us by our subscribers in payment of theirsubscriptions to the Chronicle.— Sunsvilla Chronicle.

Nerves Wear Out

The Supreme Court has decided that shade trees are private property although located on public streets and if injured by linemen of telephone, telegraph or electric light companies the owner is entitled to damages. This will probably result in a number of suits where many fine trees are slowly dying from hap-hazzard trimming and the limbs coming in contact with live wires.

And grow weak and exhausted when not properly nourished, just as an engine loses its power when the fuel runs low. The loss of nervous power is seen in the failing health and the wasting form. It is felt in the aching head, the throbbing heart, the irritability, indigestion, restlessness and loss of sleep. Rebuild the worn-out nerves, rest the tired brain and add new fuel to the vital fires with the best of all tonics, Dr, Miles’- Nervine.

Tlie carp fish with which several ponds in this locality were stocked several years ago are proving a nuisance here as in many other parts of the state. The carp got into the streams. They multiplied rapidly and are very destructive to other and better fish. The carp is not relished by many people. It is barely possible that the present Belgian hare craze may result in injury rather than gain in the end, but the craze is raging good and strong just now. A small child wonders how his sister and her beau can find anything to talk about so many evenings in a month.

“I never had anything do me so much good as Dr Miles’ Nervine. I had been suffering from blind piles for some time and had lost so much blood that my nerves were in a very bad condition. I bought a bottle of the Nervine on trial and it did me so much good that I have since taken two more. The result is my health has been wonderfully improved and I am very thankful that I gave it a trial.” J. B. Henslee, Ringgold, Ga.
