A Sample of Trusts. The following' from Edinburg, this state, to the St. Louis lie public is a sample of what the organization of trusts will do to manufacturing towns: What trusts will dp can be seen by comparing the once prosperous Edinburg with the now stricken town. In 1>01, the National starch manufacturing company was formed and began to absorb plants in Indiana, Ohio and other states. The factory in Edinburg was taken in at $170,000, when it wajs really .worth but 'l'12‘>,000. It wal promptly closed down, throwing -sev-enty-live men out of employment and ruining the merchants of $000 a week. Families moved away, the price of starch went up 20 per cent, while corn

decreased 25 per cent, and real estate depreciated. Farmers took their corn elsewhere, and likewise spent their money in other towns where a better price could be had. The factory buildings, which were comparatively new,' are rotting down. Madison, ('olumbus and Franklin are other places that were affected by this one trust, although they have not been so badly : hurt as the little town of Edinburg'. A Kansas Minister. " 1 lev. L. S. Coulton of t ircleville, Kansas, says: “Dr. Warner—Your White Wine of Tar Syrup has been in my family and found to be all and even more than you claim for it. It is a j speedy cure for all throat and lungdiseases. Sold by Paul Bros. i ' i ' J

A Preacher on Trusts. The Rev. Frank G. Smith, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church at Paoli, Illinois, on Sunday. June 25, preached on trusts, and among other things said: “It is a modern devil tish. a devil tlsh of business life stretching out its barbed and poisonous arms in all directions and gathering into them nation’s labor and a nation's capital, to build its palaces and summer resorts and endow its pet institutions with the latter, and to color the sea of human happiness with the former. The artisan utters a low cry of anguish.the traveling man turns pale, the small dealer looks with furrowed brow and the millions pf common people cry out in alarm. •God help us to see that the blood upon the hands of men who compel their underpaid employes to hazard their lives in a thousand ways to advance their interests looks as red as upon the hands of the murderer. After enumerating the trusts and their immense capital and working machinery, Mr. Smith said: “Within the last thirty years 95 per cent of the anthracite coal regions have been absorbed by trusts formed from those who own the railroads that tap these regions; the history of the ma nner in which the corporations came into possession of these lands reads like the story of a gigantic hold up. And still unsatisfied this monstrous devil tish of our modern civilization is reaching out with the express purpose of eventually coming into possession of all our most valuable coal and timber lands that lie upon their pathJ “The history of the oil trus t is a history of the most gigantic steal of the century under the guise of business. The danger of the trust dots not lie in the principle upon which it is based, but in the power that it places in the hands of*a few often unprincipled men." Cured Bronchial Trouble. Charles E. Davis, 1074 West Congress street, Chicago, writes: “1 have suffered for years with bronchial trouble and have tried many kinds of medicines without relief until I began taking Foley’s Honey and Tar, which cured me. It saved me doctor bills this winter. 25 cents. J. R. Adams & Son. _ 3 Joe Patterson has rented the Arlington Hotel and has refurnished it from top to bottom.

j During the next few years many of the large, industries of Northern Indiana gas towns will seek the coal fields of Southern Indiana. While they are : seeking new locations they should not overlook the fact that Pike county has coal and natural gas. Of the former article this section is well supplied with an_jnexhaustible supply. J Of the latter article the supply is un- | known, the'territory not being develI oped. It can be said, however, that j the Jumbo natural gas well with ; its enormous pressure of 575 pounds is | the biggest in the world. Gas for 1 fuel and lighting has been used in this ! city for the past two years and the ■ well shows no signs of diminishing whatever. It has a larger volume than when first drilled in two years ago last April. Petersburg and Pike county towns are favorably situated for manufacturers and when the Black j Diamond railroad is built will have exceptionally good transportation facilities. The best of soft water can be procured for steam purposes, and in all there are many advantages in this locality. Petersburg and Pike county extends a hearty welcome to all industries. . Rev. C. D.

Creeds of Christendom Young man, you can select your wife Tight on the main streets most any day or evening, by the way she walks. The girl with chest high, head thrown back and chin pressed into her collar will be proud, self-willed—especially so if her step is swinging and swift, and she will always consider that she is for an ornament and not for usefulness. The girl whose chest is not quite so prominent ahd whose head droops a little and her step not so high will be affectionate, gentle, intelligent, sensitive and modest, and will stay at home long enough to dust the rooms, make the beds and serve you warm meals. The girl who carries her head on one side, steps unevenly and won't stay at home long enough

to eat a square meal* j% a-flirt, will fall in love with apy thing.that wears pants or breathes through a hot cigarette, and will attend the$j§june races” if she' gets a chance. ^The girl whose chest is. modest and whose belt is : prominent, may be inclined to coarseness. but she will be true and motherly, good-hearted and affectionate and - will fight for home, friends and native land. A donkey stepped into a store one day and asked for th<e proprietor, who walked out of hi* 'private office to meet him. but was surprised to » ee a donkey in his store. “Why are you here:” he asked. “You know that this is ho place for a donkey. ” -. y "l am here." said the donkey, “because I saw -yhpradvertisement on the fence that surrounds my' pasture. 1 knew that you must be a donkey, or you wou^^ave placed the advertisement" m ||pYe newspaper where it would be read by people, not donkeys.

The fact that it constantly assails a rival is proof of jealousy, which is generally caused by the sttcce&of the assailed. If anv one seeks the standing of a newspaper he has only to see if it is in the category of assailed. If in the former it has few ||aders. and, seeks by constant barking at its successful rival to get itselfy&to notice. The newspaper—the ^tper that people like to read has very little space to devote to the abuse of rival concerns. It uses its columns for news; all that is worth printing. pySTewspaperdom. —----ytn-. The Indiana Bulletin of charities and correction for the six months ending April 30, 1800, has been issued. It deals in particular with out-door poor relief, containing several opinions of the attqjpey general, which have been previously made public, and a treatise on the care of dependent children of the state. The bulletin shows that fpr the six months ending with April 30 of this year the grand net total expenditures for the maintenance and construction of charitable and correctional institutions in the state has been *586,983.08, as against *588,019.22 for the same period of last year. _ ■,\f- ? y^y To PHY&ICIANS4-AU Physicians of this county are requested to send in their reports immediately .
