He writes: • **I wish to tell what your valuable medicine has done for mo. For four years I had ‘heart disease of the very worst kind. Several physicians I consulted, said It was ' Rheumatism of the Heart ,

It was almost unendurable; with shortness ' of .breath, palpitations, severe pains, unable to sleep, especially on the toft side. No pen can describe my sufferpartlcularly luring' the last iths of those scrlb fcduri PP’nioiit

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29,1895. The Pike county coal fields are the best in the state, and for that matter the best in the West. Petersburg is one of the best locations in southern Indiana for factories of all kinds, tyhy ? Cheapest fuel in this region. John Wanamaker has but recently riald off^a $19,000 boodle debt contracted by the Hoosier republican committee in the campaign of 1892 |rhe question will naturally arise why did not Benjamin Harrison take part of one of his big fees for legal services and settle this long standing debt made In his behalf.

The Evansville Courier has changed hauds. Samuel N1 Look is at the head of a syndicate composed of prominent Evansville and Indiana* polis parties, who will assume control. For the past thirty years the paper has beeu under the same editorial control and has become a power to democracy in Indiana. Success to the old and new. The democrats made big gains at the November elections as is shown by the following table. Only in two of the states have the republicans made gains: 1884. 1885. Kentucky....885R 12,030 11.165 R G New Jersey .:...48,478 26,960 21,5181)0 Maryland.. 2,696 19,701 17,005 R (4 Pennsylvania. 241,897 169,951 71,446 D G Ohio .187,087 100,000 37,078 D G New York.159,108 66,035 89,173 D G Massachusetts. 65,377 63,000 2,377 D U Iowa.... .79.396 70.000 9,396 D G With natural advantages equal to any town in the southwestern part of the state, we see no reason why Petersburg should not become one of the principal manufacturing points in the cdal fields. We hope to see some of our public spiritod, enterprising citizens make a move in this direction at ail early date. Organize a commercial Or public improvement club and encourage manufacturers of all kinds to locate here. This'would add greatly to the population of our town and hnhauce the value of property. Who Will make a move in this direction? The New York World says “next years election will not be decided till next year comes." This is a sensible And pertinent observation in view of the very premature celebration of next year'8 election, as much as ihough it had taken place, in the ^oltl&ns of our Republican conteraporAries. Revolutions are rapid in this Republic, and. revolts against Plattism, Quayism and a possible repetition of congressional Czarlsm may parallel the political woodera of the last two or three years and safely land a democrat in the White House for four years. We advise our demo, cratib friends not bo to despondent, 1»ut to remember that it is always darkest before dawn.

Ia a Nutshell. One of the realty great living Americans is William S. Holman Even In the satire which his political opponents have meant to be conveyed in characterizing him as “The Great Objector” there is an element of respect and confidence which has not escaped the attention of the people If he had not been governed by motives of sincere integrity his efforts as au economist in the public expenditures might have been made objects of derision, bnt no man in any country has ever giveu so many years of service to its. public aflairs and come out of the ordeal with cleaner hands. Not one breath of dtshouor has ever been raised against William S. Holman in the forty years during which time he has been almost without interruption in a place of public attention and criticism. The New Vork World publishes an interview with Judge Holman which occurred the other day iu Washington. He **uid: “There has been nothing in the legislation since the Fifty-first cougress to excite public dissatisfaction or cause distress. The misfortunes of the Pemocrats began with the mistake iu the Hawaiian matter. The administration was entirely wrong iu dealing with that question. The attempt to restore the queen was an unpopular error and it was an affront to the sensibilities of the American people to have the "Stars and Stripes pulled down by the agent of the administration. ' .MMv individual opinion is that the course to pursue in order to regain what has been lost is to unite and earnestly fight for lower taxe«. More economical expenditures and a larger stable volume of money. Belligerent rights should he granted to Cuba immediately. We have been leuient and considerate of Spain, far beyond what was required of us.

“There is no use disguising the fact that the administration is unpopular with the people. The method of dealing with the bond business was a great political mistake.”—Evausville Courier. Treatment of Corn Smut. Pundue University Agricultural Experiment! Station. Newspaper Bulletin, No. 16, November 22, 1895. Tile 6nmt ini corn differs in several important particulars from the common smuts of$ the; smaller cereals, wheat, oats, rye and barley. In no respect Is the difference more marked than in its mode of attacking the plant, and in^ this fact he valuable hints to y»e cultivator. It has been assumed that because the smut of wheat and oats can be prevented by immersing the 6eed in hot water or a solitude of some fungicide, the same method is applicable to corn. But it is not true, aud for the reasou that the method by which the corn smut attacks the plauVis very unlike that of most of the other cereal smuts. It has been found out at the Indiana experiment station that the smut does not attack the plaut through the seed, but like wheat rust it starts in the leaves and stems, wherever the sporei are carried by the wiud and find lodgment and sufficient moisture to etiabl# them to germinate. The spores will grow as soon as ripe, that is as soon as the mass containing them turns black, and they will also retain their vitality for a year or two in case conditions for growth are not favorable. It isi evident from this that neither

the time of planting nor the previous conditions or treatment of the 6eed will have any effect upon the amount of srniit in the crop; and experiments already carried out substantiate this deduction. It is equally evident that meteorological conditions will have decide^ influence. Cut the farmer cannoticoutrol the weather. Two things cau be done to decrease smut ia corn. The growing crop can be sprayed with a suitable fungicide and the entrance of the smut into the plant prevented. That this can be made effective is shown by experiments at the Indiana station. But it is an expensive and .troublesome method. The other, more convenient but less thorough, method, is to gather and destroy the smut, and thus eventually rid the fields of it. The best time to gather the smut is just before the ears silk, when the fields should be gone through and every signs ot smut removed, being careful not to scatter it upon the ground,, or in any w^y let the spores get free. The gatherings must be burned or deeply buried to certainly destroy the smut. One or more later gatherings should also be made. This may be called clean culture, and if persisted in for a tew; years would reduce the annual production of smut to au inconspicuous and harmless ampunt. J. C. Arthur, Botanist.

Washington Letter. Prom our Regular Correspondent Washington, Not. 25,1895. With few exceptions democrats are agreed that it is the duty of the demo* cratic senators to retain the control of the senate until they are forced'to give it up. There will be no occasion to fill the vacancy in the office of president pro tern of the senate so long as Vice*President Stevenson is on hand every day to preside over the senate, and he cau be counted upon to be on hand unless prevented by serious illness. It is understood that the democratic steering committee of the senate will recommend following this line of policy; also, that everr measure which comes before the senate shall be fullv debated bv the democrats, in order that the position of the party may be thoroughly understood by the country. The republican senators can, ot course obtain coutrol of the senate at once with the assistance of the populists and without their aid if Dupont is seated from Delaware when the Utah

senators take their seats, which will probably be early in the coming year, if they can agree among themselves, but up to this time they are a long ways from agreeing, and by harmonious and skillful tactics the democrats may remain in coutrol during the entire session. As the annual reports of the heads of the various branches of the government service are made it is easy to see that democratic ideas of economy in public expenditures have been put into effect wherever possible. The grand aggregate of all, the saving effected may be lound in the footings of the ordinary expenditure column of the 4J. S. treasurer’s annual report. Those footings show that for tho fiscal year ending June 30, last^tlie government spent tor ordinary purposes $11,329,981 less ihau was spent during the previous year. Few people in Washington take any stock in the story that comes from New York to the effect that Mr. Harrison has made a combination which is to place Ex-Senator Warner Miller on the tail of the llarrisou ticket. Washington people know Mr. Harrison for one of the shrewdest politicians the country has ever had, notwithstanding the impression of some people that he is too diguified to get down to the level from which political wires have to be pulled, and knowing that tjiey cannot believe that f»e has made any deal with such a has-been as Miller. If he could get Gov. Morton to enter a combination for the nomination of the old-’88-tic&et he’d jump at it, but Morton has not love enough for Mr. Harrison to do so, even if he desired to again become a candidate for vice president, he remembers ’92. Failing to make a deal with Mr. Morton, Mr. Harrison has made one with Senator Allison, it is said, for the express purpose of opposing both lleed aud McKinley. Incidentally they have agreed that if at any time during the convention their combined strength will nominate either, it shall be given to the one controlling the largest number of votes, llarrisou next to getting the nomination for himself wants to keep both Heed aud McKinley out of it. Some people have queer ideas of wh$t is good taste. Forinstauce, JIou. John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, who was for years in the employ of one of the Pacific railroads, ouly resigned within the last ten days, although his salary as senator begau March 4, last

—aud who is said to owe his election to the U. S. senate to the influence of that corporation, proposes to inaugu* rate his senatorial career by introduc* iug a bill providing for a settlement of the debts due the government from the Central and Uuiou Pacific rail* roads. He says that while his bill differs in details from the settlement recommended by the government directors of those roads its result will be the same. This may be true, but when his past relations with these corporations are remembered suspic* ion will naturally arise that he is merely continuing to do their bidding by introducing this bill. Seuator Hill has started much gossip by renting a large house iu Washington and reports as to his intentions over every imaginable thing from getting married to opening a political club house for the starting of ^ new boom for the presidential nomination. It is probable that his personal convenience was his only reason for setting up housekeeping. The Grip. An experience in this disease during all its past epidemios, warrants the bold claim that Dr. King’s New Discovery will positively cure each and every case if taken in time, and patient takes the ordinary care to avoid exposure. Another thing has been proven, that those who have used Dr. King’s New Disoovery, escape the many troublesome after results of this disease. By all means get a bottle and try it. It is guaranteed, and money will be refunded if no good results follow its use. Sold by7 J. K.Adams*Son. • *»« o

Correction. Owing to an oversight in making up the premium list tor the farmers institute, instead of offering premiums aggregating $20 they are found to amount to $30 which on account of other expenses of the institute we will not be able to pay, Therefore there will be no seco«id premium paid on any article. All other premiums will be paid at close of institute. M. L. Hkathman, Chairman. c —- Buck leu’s Arnica Salve.
