Neighborhood Gas. Another gas well will be drilled at Petersburg, a new company haring been formed for that purpose.—H uutingburg Independent. ,

Petersburg is putting on airs with her gas well. It is said the flow of gas is much stronger than at first expected. Two more wells will be drilled.—Huntingburg News. There has been several towns caught the “gas fever” from Petersburg in the last month. We think if they would take about a $10,000 dose of “drilling” it would help them.—Rock port Era. The natural gas fever has spread to English, caused by the “strike” at Petersburg, and a company is being formed to bore a well, with instrnctions to the driller to “strike gas or tap China.”—Washington Advertiser. It does our soul good to see our bright co-temporaries, the Petersburg Press and Democrat humping themselves for their lucky little city. They ought to be happy. We would be. Here's to you gentlemen. English is in the procession.—English Democrat. * —o— The gas well at Petersburg was tested last Saturday afternoon, and the test proved more successful than was expected. It is the opinion of a number of our citisens that it would pay Huntingburg to bore for gas, and the Independent thinks 90 too.—Huntingburg Independent, —o— Gas wells are being sunk in the southern part of Harrison county by Tree** Bros, of Elizabeth. They have sunk a number of wells, and in every instance have found a sufficient pressure of gas for fuel and lighting purposes for the farm houses near by. All the wells sunk by them two years ago are giving a latter pressure than when first put down.—New Albany Tribune. — -o— Over at Petersburg the newsboys have already begun training—“Morning Democrat!’’ “Evening News!” All about the freaks of great Jumbo and the great stockmarket rush!”—Rockport Era. Petersburg is the great gas city of the south and in the course of a few months Petersburg will have a daily paper sure enough. At the present the able weekly issues of the papers handle the news in a highly satisfactory manner.

On Wednesday evening a committee representing the Business Men’s association of Boonville, held a conference with Mr. Jnbez Wooley, in reference to boring for gas in Boonville. Arrangements were completed and Mr. Wooley will begin operations here within the next 30 days. The committee has not tailed the necessary funds, lacking $300, but they closed the matter with Mr. Wooley by pledging the money as individuals and it is hoped .that other citizens that have signed nothing will do their part immediately. With gas in Boonville, pn**perity, good times aud a big business liooin is ussured.—Boonville Enquirer. A town which drills for and successfully procure* natural gas is certainly in possession of a factor which will do more toward developing it than any other siugle thing. T « glance at Kokomo, M uueie, Anderson, aud scores of other cities in the gas belt shows what a great thing it is. But now we have a southern gas city. Petersburg by euduriug perseverance has secured a liountiful supply of natural gas. This shows beyond a doubt that gas exists in large quantities in our part of the state Indeed the exjierts who examined the well at the '‘Southern Gas City** say that the pressure there is the strongest and the quality of the gas the U-st they have ever seen. It behooves us to keep up with the times. A number of our neighboring towns are going to drill for gas at once. There is not one of them but which will strike it if they go deep enough. We are certainly in the gas belt aud we need the gas. Inter-1 views with our leading business men show they are to a unit in favor of drilling. We need some one to take the lead and call a meet mg.—Montgomery Monitor. The board of public works. Mayor Akin. City Attorney Givens and the council committee on streets and alleys met in the hoard of works office yesterday afternoon to consider the petition of the J. Woolley coal company for a franchise, granting the right to lay gas pipes under the street* and alleys of the city. The company intends if the franchise is granted, to begin at once boring for gas within a short distance of the city. If not successful in that they will pipe gw here froth Petersburg. Mayor Akin presided at yesterday's meeting ami read the proposition of the Woolley cniu{>aiiy after which Mr. Woolley made a few explanatory remarks. Mayor Akiu stated that he did not believe it would be welt to act hurriedly in the raster and advised that copies of ordinances from other cittre covering the subject be examined. This opinion leas supported by tlie city attorney aud others present. Mr. Woolley explained that the eonipauy bad the men already engaged to do the work and that they were at a great expense4, but he stated that lie did not wish u) hurry the officials, aud would be willing to have the matter go over until the meetiugof the board Saturday afternoon,— Kvanevitle Courier.

Ssgar Beet Teste in Indiana. (Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, Newspaper Bulletin No. 45. April 27, 1887.)

Early in April the Indiana agricultural experiment station received a quantity of sugar beet seed sent to it by the United States department of agriculture for distribution in this state. By arrangement with the government, this seed was to be distributed to persons in Indiana who would agree to grows certain specified area of beets under the direction of the station, and at the proper time would harvest the roots and send samples to the station for exam1 nation for sugar content. This seed has now been distributed to the proper parties in Indiana, and the station will be unable to send out more this season. This statement is made for the benefit of those contemplating writing for seed, and as explanatory to those who have written for seed that has not been sent them. A great deal is being said and written at the present time concerning sugar beet culture in the United States. Beet sugai factories are being built at several point', and farmers are planting sugar beet seedin many states this spring. It will interest the readers of this journal to know that the Indiana experiment station for nine consecutive years has been engaged in growing sugar beets and studying the adaptability of this state to profitable sugar beet culture. In February, 1881, a bulletin was issued by the station containing information on seed, climate, soil, planting, cultivation and harvesting of sugar beets, with results of sugar tests of beets grown in different counties of the state under the direction of the station or the United States department of agriculture. In April, 1892, another bulletin contained additional information along the same line, with lesults of examination of many beets grown uuder station direction in different counties in 1891, was published. This bulletin also contained an account of a new disease of sugar beets. In 1892 beet seeds were sent to 250 points in 92 counties in Indiana by the station, and a bulletin in March, 1898, contained a report of this work. In the spring of 1898 seed was sent to 167 sub-stations. In March, 1894, a 28page illustrated bulletin ou sugar beets, containing much information with many more Indiana tests was published. In March, 1895, another bulletin contained

I lion and with all the ilk flowing from, the i uncertainty of business men. It is an easy matter to see in the impossible proposals of the republicans a deter scheme to shift the responsibility for business suspense from tbeir own shoulders to those of the democrats and thus force democratic consent to the iniquities of the Dingley bill. The republicans were warned against disturbing business by attempting a complete revision of the tariff, but they plunged into it for the benefit of their political backers, knowing the condition of decent legislation. Now they try to escape these conditions by railroading an abomination through and because the democrats refuse to cousent to the railroading scheme, they howl about ruinous delay. Business is unquestionably suffering from taaiff tinkering, but the responsibility rests with the men who started the tinkering and not with the men who insist that the work of Congress shall be done decently and in irder and that a lot of jobs shall not be rushed through without examination or lebate.—St. Louis Republic,

Unfortunate People Are they who while suffering from kidney diseases are prejudiced against all advertised remedies. They should know that Foley’s Kidney Cure is not a quack remedy, but an honest guaranteed medicine for kidney and bladder troubles. Bergen & Oliphant. m State Medical Board. The state board of medical examiners held its first meeting last week. The members arc J. II. Webster, Lafayette; James N. Dinnen, Fort Wayne; William Gott, Crawfordsville; William F.Cnrryer, Indianapolis, and W. A. Spurgeon, Muncie. The bnsiness before this meeting was the election of a president, secret ary and treasurer and the appointmeut of a chirk, who wili receive a salary of $1,000 a year. The next regular meeting will be in July, when the issuance of licenses to physicians will be begun. While the new law has been very generally circulated, many physicians throughout the state apparently do not understand its provisions, for all the state officers have been receiving letters of inquiry. The law provides that all physicians | now practicing medieiue, surgery and ob- ; stetrics in the state, and desiring to con

considerable data along the same line, with analysises of beets grtfwft in 28 different counties of the state in 1894. In Ixith 1895 and 1896 beet experiments were continued, and the same may be said for 1897, on a better scale than ever before. ^ This station has demonst rated that Indiana is in the beet sugar producing belt, though the work of 1897, it is hoped, will j add much to our data on the subject. The station will be glad to assist all persons in the state who may desire information j in future on the sugar beet question. C. S. Pi/t'MR, Director. Condensed Testimony. Charles B.

Free trial bottles at J. K. Adams & Son’s drug j store. A Republican Trick. Because the democratic members of the j Senate finance committee decline, in ad- j vauce of any opportunity to inspect the j work of the republican members on the I i a riff bill, to fix a date when they will per-1 mit the bill to be reported, the republicans j charge them with an intention to delay ] legislation ami keep business in suspense. The purpose of the charge is apparent, and in order to lay a foundation for it the republicans made a preposterous proposition to the democratic Senators. They proposed that the bill be reported without iaspectlOU of ttie democratic member* of the coiuon^e, but that it be examined after it was laid before the Senate. When the democrats declined to accede to these uu-bearu-of terras, the republicans insisted on knowing when the inspect ion would be completed and on naming a day tor ike report of the measure. Not knowing bow much work they would have to do on the bill, the democrats declined to say when they would let the bill be reported and they stand charged with the intention to block legisia

tinue in the practice, shall within the next ninety days, obtain a certificate from the state board, by presenting to the board the license possessed by them at the time of the passage of the law, together with an affidavit that they are' the legal possessors of it. The state board will, upon receipt of this information and $1, issue to the applicant a certificate, whieh, when presented to the county clerk of the proper county, will entitle the holder to a license to practice in the state. Every , person desiring to begin the practice will, under the law, be required to secure a license from the state board, which he may do by submitting his diploma and #6. If the board is not satisfied with the diploma, the applicant may submit to an examination as to his qualifications. It will cost him $25 to take the examination. The board expects to have a great deal of business hefore it at the .July meeting. It is tjtketi for granted that all the practicing physicians in the state a ill have scut their licenses by that time. The members of the board talk as if they intended to enforce the new law to the letter. Any person who engages in the practice of medicine without a license, issued under the provisions of the law, may be lined in auv sum from $25 to $200. * _ To AtlauU From L<»ni>ville Without Change.
