FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1899, Our State Capital. The Chicago Tribune is giving a brief sketch of several of the cities of this country, naming their leading qualities for greatness. Of our state capital lt*ays: Indianapolis. Ind., boasts of the finest climate in the United States in respect to political salubrity. A few years in its atmosphere will convert a farmer boy into a President or Vice President, while its output of Ambassadors, Consul Generals, and the like is merely regarded as an incident to the more important work in hand of turning out national presiding otticers. At present Indianapolis hold many important European Consular posts. One is Minister to Austria. Just now the postmasters at Havana, Ponce and San Juan, the three important cities of our new acquisitions, ~ - are all from Indianapolis. But the city has a more unique record than this. It has had representation on national tickets for the longest unbroken period of any city in the country. In a period of twenty years, beginning with 1872, there was not a national election wjben the &ity was without representation on one of the tickets. If Schuyler Colfax, whose home was at South Bend, but who spent much of his time in Indianapolis is considered an Indianapolitan, thi* period is extended another four years; and on top of this, an Indianapolitan was a national candidate for vice president in the days before the war. The unbroken stretch of twenty years, when bona fide residents of the city were on national tickets, is as follows: In 1872 five electoral votes were cast for George W. Julian for vice president and forty-two votes for Thbmas A. Hendricks for president: 1870, Hendricks was the democratic nominee for vice president; 1880, William H. English was the democratic nominee for vice, president; 1884, Hendricks was the successful candidate for vice president: 1888, Benjamin Harrison was the successful nominee for president: 1892, Harrison was the defeated republican for president. In 1808 Golf ax was elected vice president. In 185c: Julian was the nominee

for rice president on the Free Soil* democratic ticket. Spain’s Greatest Need. Mr. R. P. Olive, of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. C\ Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head. On using Electric Bitters, America's greatest blood and nerve remedy, all pain soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what his country needs. All America knows that it cures liver and kidney trouble, purifies the blood, tones up the stomach, strengthens the nerves, puts vim, vigor and new life into every muscle, nerve and organ of the body. If weak, tired or ailing you need it. Every bottle guaranteed, only 30 cents. Sold by Stearnes drug company. Resolutions.

This is to certify that my wife was for years afflicted with asthma, and was so far gone that several physicians decided that her case must terminate in consumption. 1 was induced to try a bottle of Dr. Warner's White Wine of Tar Syrup. To our great satisfaction it gave almost immediate relief, and two bottles completely cured her. She is now well and healthy, but 1 would not be without the medicine if it cost fifty dollars a bottle. Black Diamond Rail Road Talk. (Itizens of Fargo, N. D., have appointed a committee to investigate the claims and standing of a new railroad projected from Port Koval. S. C., to Fargo. The line b called the Black Diamond system of railroads, and the scheme has figured, on paper at least, extensively for the last four years. It is a gigantic scheme, which is considered by some as visionary and impracticable. The road is being promoted by Col. Albert E. Boone, who is said to be a direct descendant of Daniel Boone of rod-and-gun fame. His headquarters are at Zanesville, O. He says the ‘‘cause was launehed April 3, 18115, at Knoxville, Tenn.,” when he was selected as its chief promoter. The paramount objects are to tap the coal fields in eastern Tennessee and Kentucky and to transport. grain from the great “Dakota fields to the shipside at Port Royal. The line as projected is to pass northward through the south to Carlyle, Ky., where one branch is to run to Columbus, another to Indianapolis and another from Vevay to Vincennes, Ind., thence through Illinois to Aledo, 111., Clear Lake, Iowa, Moorehead, Minn., and Fargo. It is said that the line will be built through the water gaps of the Cumberland, Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains, with a maximum grade of sixty feet to the mile and no reverse J curves. Col. Boone relies on the vast deposits of minerals of almost all ! . Wm. H. Farris, Chn.Bd.Tp.of Wilton, Monroe Co., Wb. I Sold by Paul Bros.

kinds in the country through which the JBlack Diamond way has been surreyed to make the road still more desirable and profitable. In this territory coal, slate, marble, iron ore, cotton, bone phosphates, hard woods, dnc, tan bark, kaolin (used in the manufacture of chin aware}, copper, glass rock and innumerable water powers of great volume and value are found.—< hie ago Record, Sept. 5th. No Relief for 20 Years. I have been troubled for the last twenty years with bronchial affection, and at times have been bedfast. Have tried a great many cough remedies but found no relief until I tried F; ley’s Honey and Tar. I can honestly recommend Foley's Honey and Tar as a quick relief, reliable, pleasant to take and a sure cure for diseases oi the throat and lungs. Minerva Smith, 414, Washington avenue, Danville. Illinois.. J. R. Adams & Son. s s Six Months Term of School!. The circular issued by the state superintendent of public instruction advises county superintendents than all pupils who were last year in attendance in a town high school, and who were promoted regularly to the high school from the eighth grade, but who did not receive diplomas, are entitled to transfer when a high school is not maintained in the township in which they live. After this year, however, it will be necessary for such pupils having been promoted from the eighth grade into the high school to hold diplomas. The circular also ealls attention to the fact that township trustees must this year provide for a six months' term of school, even though they may have to anticipate the local tuition fund for a year. Stop a Minute And consider if the pills (no matter what kind) you have taken for your constipation have really done you any good. Are you not more and more liable to this trouble?
