The first order for coffee amounts to 750,000 pounds. Five thousand cases of corned beef and 115,000 pounds of codfish form two important items. The canned goods in the order include everything which a tirstclass grocer usually sells. Tomatoes head the list to the extent of, 150 tons. In the list also are 2,500 cases of green corn: 200 cases of lobster, 4,000 cases of salmon, 000 cases of fancy soups and canned peaches, pears and apples in large quantities. Other items are 27.000 pounds of chocolate, 2,000 cases of condensed milk, 1,000 cases of condensed cream, 3.000 cases of evaporated fruits and 5,000 cases of oat

Five hundred cases of baked beans are added to help outAhe order of uncooked beans. llice and sugar, are purchased principally in the Philippines, although some qualities of finer sugar are included in the order. Fresh beef is sent from Australia to Manila in refrigerator ships. The meat is frozen and is said to be of excellent quality. It will take 130 tons of bacon per month to supply the troops. One of the items of this order is 76,000 pounds of plug tobacco. There will also go with this consignment 11,000 pipes of assorted kinds and several thousand ]K>unds of fancy smoking tobacco in tin cans and packages. The Most Fatal Disease.

She was an exemplary companion and a kfnd and indulgent mother. Deceased was a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist church. Death to her had no terrors. When she found that she could not recover she became reconciled to her fate and endured her afflictions with great patience and Christian fortitude. In her last moments she expressed herself as being perfectly resigned to the will of Him who gave her being in the world. She died in the triumph of a living faith. All that was mortal of deceased was laid to rest in Atkinson Chapel cemetery. Friday the 18th, to await the resurrection morning.! The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. G. Shafter of the C.

To Consumptives.

NEW RAILROAD. ! l^ne 10 Be Built from ImUanapolls to Evansville. ’The long talked of railroad to con- i j nect Indianapolis with Evansville has j ; at last taken tangible form, and articles of incorporation were filed with ! the secretary of state by the Indianapolis Southern railway company. The capital stock is 12,000,000, to be j increased as the building of the road | goes on. The incorporators are David j M. Parry, W. E. Stevenson, J. E. Me- j Gettigan, Charles E. Barrett, J. H. | Wilson, L. P. Norton, F. A. He the rington, M. W. Carr, Oliver M. Allen, J. E. Kepperley, D« F. Fleener, J. H. Lowes, F. Kline and George Tull. The i first five are directors. The project makes the main line of the road to be from Indianapolis to Evansville, with branch lines to the coal fields in Greene and Sullivan

counties. Mr. McGettigan says Eastern capitalists are behind the enterprise and they are sanguine of putting the road through. He declines for prudential reasons to say who are financing the, scheme. He says stock will be increased as the necessities of construction require. The road will, he says, pass through Nashville, Bedford. Mitchell and West Baden. Jabez Woolley, sr., of Petersburg, asked the trustees to grant him a franchise for 25 years to lay pipes for natural gas or oil under the streets and alleys of Jasper for illuminating purposes, on condition that he begin boring for the same within 90 days after the granting of the franchise, and complete the piping of the town within two years thereafter, the work of piping to be done under the direction of the corporate authorities, and presenting an ordinance for adoption in conformity to his petition. In his petition to the board he says he has been granted such a franchise by the city council of Huntingburg. and that he desires to prospect for gas or oil so as to supply both places. He further says: UI do not think that we can find it within a few miles of either place, so I do not know exactly where I will begin to drill first.” He says he will begin immediately after the franchise is granted to drill the first test well.—Jasper Courier. Do you know that simple massage prevents baldness? That palm oil is the cheapest and best corn cure? That the use of dental floss prevents the teeth from decaying? That lavender oil rubbed on the face prevents insect biting? That orris root and powdered

soap make the best tooth wash? That lemon juice and salt remove ink stains from colored goods? That the smallest wound should be washed with warm water and carbolic acid? That five minutes regt guards against nervous prostration? ‘‘Tenting on the Old Camp Grounds” is the popular song just now for those contemplating a week's outing duringthe week of the State fair at Indianapolis. The suggestion made by the circular issued from the office of the State fair managers that the northwest part of the shady grove in the grounds would be reserved for tenters during fair week, is making it both feasable and possible to spend the week in this way, as pleasantly as one could contemplate. The Air Line will run a low rate excursion Sunday, August 2"th, from Louisville to Mt. Carmel, Illinois, and return and extremely low rates will be .made between intermediate points. Tickets will be good only on special train leaving Oakland City at 11:43 a. m. Round trip fare to Princeton 25 cents: round trip fare to Mt. Carmel 60 cents." Returning special will leave Mt. Carmel 5 p. m. J. F. Hurt, agent, Oakland City. Sousa and forty-nine of the best musicians in the world will constitute the band that will appear at the State fair September 20th and 21st. Information from the secretary of the fair tells us that visitors to the fair during the day can remain on the grounds until after the concert is over in the evening, and the only expense they will incur will be the fee for seat in the grand stand, which is 25 cents. Carey & Beatty, the Winslow coal operators, will have completed their tip house and tramway on the Air Line railroad by the first of September and then will be ready to ship coal to the markets. They have a fine quality of coal and a live foot vein. They are pushers and will make thinjjs hum and give employment to a large number of miners. Joe Patterson has rented the Arlington Hotel and ha« refurnished it from top to bottom. New house, new furniture, and is prepared to extend first class accommodations at reasonable rates. The house will hereafter be known as the Patterson House, on south side of Main street, between Fifth and Sixth. 50* Do you want building material?— We have placed a saw mill on the land of Dick Anderson, in Jefferson township, and can furnish you all kinds of lumber at the lowest prices for cash pr on time.
