9k £Utr totralg ftaiaat Entered at the postofllce In' Petersburg for transmission through the rhall# a* «eeondclass matter. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9,1900 , After all, election^ in this country are a good d^al like quarrels between man and wife. Half the hard things they say, they don't mean and they ®are all willing to take back the other half when the scrap is over. The Sultan is wondering whether that little bill will be extracted from the pigeonhole and called again to his attention, now that the campaign is over, and the missionary vote doesn't have to be catered to. It Was a whirlwind campaign after all and grew almost as hot as that of 1st Hi toward the close.' The fact that American citizens could be so much in earnest over such abstract -issues shows that there is plenty of the old Puritan virility in us yet. Chicago had better get a hustle on. New York is leaving her far behind. No Chicago man has yet touched the $700,000 record of Mr., Alvord, although it has been at least two weeks since this was discovered. Is the Windy City losing its enterprise? Italy has decided that she will begin to raise tobacco and cease importing. Hereafter Americans going to the Holy City had better take their own cigars with them, for the present article is awful enough and if it gets any worse there will be no living in the room when one is smoked.

Tiie Gould family is supposed to be shrewd, and evidence that it is, is offered by George Gould’s getting' himself appointed his sister’s guardian in order to curb her husband's extravagance. But it would have been a better proof of foresight if the family had never invested in Count Boni. Within a very few days, it is probaole that Mr. Jones whd has looked upon his next door neighbor Mr. Smith as an anarchist and a doubledyed traitor because he differed from him in politics will begin to revise his ideas and to wonder whether Smith isn’t a pretty decent fellow after all. Several amateur Republican Burchards came to light at the last moment but none of them came up to the level of their distinguished prototype, principally because the things they gave away were already well known to the voters and were onty denied by the leaders of thei? party for forms sake. Two dollars a head, the price sarcastically fixed by Tom Reed as the cost of buying ‘“yellow bellies.” no longer begins to cover the case. The Quartermaster-General’s report just issued, places the cost of transport to and from the Philippines at some $13,000,000 and there are half a dozen other army bureaus with even larger expenses yet to be heard from. Oom Paul will certainly have a “halcyon and vociferous time” of it in Paris, but it is questionable how much of it will be sympathy for him and how much hatred of everything English. There is danger in th£ situation, for the British are spoiling for a light that will give them a chance to wipe out the memory of South African disgraces and the French enthusiasm might conceivably provoke a conflict. It is somewhnt surprising to learn that Ohio and Indiana relatively lag far behind the rest of the country in increase in population as shown by the new census, and almost equally so to find that Louisiana and Mississippi and North Carolina make such decided gains. Relative gains were expected in certain states and relative losses in others, but many have fallen out altogether differently from the way that was expected.

The British are certainly queer, else Lord Salisbury would not have chosen ihe Marquis of Lansdowne for the marked promotion to the foreign portfolio. It is as if Alger had been nominated for president just after the close of the Spanish war. For all the mishaps, misfortunes and defeats that the British have suffered in South Africa have been charged up to the weakness of Lord Lansdowne, who was secretary of war when the trouble began. If the membership of the House is increased by thirty, which is the least number that will avoid reducing the present representation of any state, the south will gain ten votes, New England two, the east seven, the middle west eight, and the far west three. The south has certainly no reason to complain of the way she has been treated nor of her progress in the past ten years. Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida, and North Carolina of the strictly southern states, eacSb sho^ a gain of one 1 vote. I

MUCH DIPHTHERIA. Stnt® Hoard of Health Sending Out Warning Circulars. The State Board of Health is send* ing out hundreds of circulars to health officers and school officials, warning them against expected outbreaks of diphtheria among school children. The board has information that in twelve counties of the state schools are closed on account of the disease, and State Health Officer Hurty says there may be scores of deaths. It will be recalled that the state board of health has been predicting outbreaks of diphtheria generally throughout Indiana. “It is safe to say,” said Dr. Hurty today, that there is diphtheria in every comity of the state. In some places it is more severe than in others, I but the most active precautions should . be taken by health officers, school ’ teachers and parents everywhere to^ prevent a general epidemic. The board is advising the inspection of school children and their removal from school when they show the least symptoms of diphtheria. Some children who have been exposed to the disease are evidently immune, for they do not take it.” Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendictis, Nervous Prostratiqn or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bail with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Get Green’s Prize Almanac.

SETTLED WITH THE STATE All Institutions Kxcrpt One Left Within Appropriation. Settlements filed last week with the auditor of state show that all of the state institutions with the exception of one have been supported within the appropriations made for their maintenance of the fiscal year'ending yesterday. The management of the Indiana industrial school for girls and woman’s prison exceeded the appropriation made for this institution several hundred dollars. Sums remaining over from the sheriff's mileage fund and from the appropriation for equipping prisoners discharged from the prison north was turnd back into the state treasury. Of the contingent fund of $40,000 in the hands of the governor only a small amount has been expended. The collections made through the office of the attorney-general during the year amounted to about $00,000. which was collected as taxes and delinquent lines, and were placed in the hands of the state treasurer. Under the law passed by the last legislature allowing institutions a certain per capita for each inmate over the average number upon which appropriations were made, a number of the institutions drew on the state treasury for excess in attendance. The northern hospital for insane at Logansport was allowed $918.27; the Central hospital for insane, located at Indianapolis, $10,711.24; the Eastern hospital for insane, at Richmond, $7,262.72; the Southern hospital for insane, at Evansville, $9,315.98; the institution for the education of the deaf, in this city, $2,814.48: the Indiana state prison at Michigan City. $540.58.

Does it Pay to Buy Cheap?j A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you wan% something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous results of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular climate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “Boschee’s German Syrup.'’ It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflammation, causes easy expectoration, gives a good uight's rest, and cures the patient. Try one bottle. Recommended many years by all druggists in the world. Get Green's Prize Almanac. Population of Pike County. Washington, D.
