From the 1st to 21st ofj January the days lengthened one hood and twentyfive minutes. In February they gain otie ihour and twenty-five minutes. The uionth of March adds two hours and thirty-six minutes. May, two hours and twenty minutes, June, but nine minutes.

Died, at bar home, come r of Seventh and Elm streets, in this city hit Sunday afternoon at 9 o’clock. Mrs. Saiah Frank, aged 78 years, 2 months and 19 days. Funeral services were held in the M. R clmrch at 10 o’clock a. m. Tuesday, March Sit, where a large number of loving friends met to pay the lest tribute of respect to one who had lived among them for half a century. Mrs. Frank was boro in Virginia. At the age of five years she removed with her father to Kentucky, when she lived until grown; thence she came to Indiana and settled in Pike county, where she made her home until her death. February 0, 1850, she was marre d to 8. P. Frank (deceased.) Six children of the family survive her, Morris, Madison and McKindrey Frank, Mrs. Iou Gosi n, Mrs. Ettie Smith and George Frank, the last two hang her own children. Sister Frank was brought up in a Clxristian home, be - father being a Methodist preacher, and m a result she was converted when but a little child, and joined the church of her choice. We can truly say Iter life has been spent in the service of Goth For more thm fifty years she has faithfully served the church by her means and her prayers and when unable longer to attend the house >f God because of her infirmity, she never ixwt interest in the church. She leaves a legacy to her children that is mom valuab le than gold, and the halo of her fadeless at d pure life will be more beautiful than ill the adornments of wealth or display, Jler disposition was of that modest,, retiring kind, that shone brightest in her home and in her ministering* among the sick anil poor. For more than two years I have Ken her pastor and during all of that time i be has been afflicted, but she was always tnxious to be Iwlpful to her pastor and to the ihurch and most always asked about the thatch. She has been a subscriber to the V estern Christian Advocate many years an d kept herself posted in the work of the church. She was a Methodist and belie ved in the doctrine of her church and undmtood what they meant, and how to appl r them to her comfort and rest in tlie Lord. Already methinks I hear the Master say “Servant of God well done, receive thy crown of rejoicing, thy robe oi. white and thy palm of victory," \ S- R AXBKI KWf.

Sentenced to the Pen. The three tramps whs> burgiaris 1 the store of Gus Frank one week ago las Sunday night were given a hearing in ti e circuit court last Friday morning before Judge Ely. They gave their nai res as Frank Myers, Jose(>h Collins and lames Mtdlane, and pleiuted guilty Jo the i barge of burglary, admitting that they had taken several overcoats, several pairs of shoes, three suits of clotoes, underwear, darts, h»n<l It fttph ief« and other articles. After hearing their statements the judge sentenced them to the penitentiary for seven years each. The crime of burglary its set fogth in the statute books cj Indiana makes that crime next to murders The crime is a very grave one and justice should be meted out to all who will break in a house at night time. The verdict .should be upheld by every law-abiding citizen in Pike county and show to the midnight prowlers that the laws of the state and of the homes must be upheld and enforce!. Juries of Pike county have become very lenient in fixing setvUmoss of men who commit crimes and our county has 'become known all over the country as one where atrocious crimes are committed, and the party doing the deed is acquitted or given but a short sentence. The laws as laid down in the statute books should be enforced to the letter that our lives and property may be The Grip. An experience in this disease during all its past epidemics, warrants the (told claim that Dr. King’s New Discovery will pt«sitively cure each artrl every case if taken in time, ami patient takes the ordinary care to avoid exposure. Another .thing has been proven, that those who have used Dr. King’s Sew Discovery, escape the many troublesome after results ol this disease. Byall means get a bottle and try it. It is guaranteed, and money will be refunded if no good results follow its use. Sold by J. it. Adams A Son. Slashed With a Knife. Charles Bilimeyer, who has been acting as porter at the Pike hotel fort>everal weeks cut Henry Fletcher, the colored cook, with a knife last Monday evening. Bilimeyer and Fletcher had during the erening quarreled, but nothing was thought of it until Fletcher started for home. While passing through the office of the hotel Bilimeyer rushed at him with a pen-knife and made a slash at Fletcher, c utring him under the left chin. Bilimeyer at once left the hotel and meandered around on the streets for sometime. Drs. Hunter and Basinger were at once called and made an examination, finding that the cut was not dangerous? but had the blade penetrated the sixteenth of an inch deeper the main artery would have been cut. The doctors at once sewed up the wound which wait about four inches long and three-quarters of an inch deep. Btllmevsr wae in town Tuesday morning but the officers did not arrest lum.

From LaGrippe. How Dr. Miles’ Nervine Restored One of Kentncky's Business Men to Health. Tl

No DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepiest nerveless, as LaGrippe. Ur. D. W. Hilton, state scent of the Unt- 1 nal Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: 1 "In 1S8# and HO I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my nervous system with such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of intense mental weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, I commenced using Dr. lines' Restorative Nervino- In two days I began to improve and in one month’s time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who knew of. my condition. I have been in excellent health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends." Louisville, Jan. 22, IMS. D. W. Hilton. Dr. Miles’ Sernas Restores Health.'
