a veteranTverdict. The War is Over. A Well-known Soldier, Correspondent and Journalist Makes a Disclosure. Indiana contributed her thousands of brave soldiers to the war, and no state bears a better record in that respect than it does. In literature it is rapidly acquiring an enviable place. In war and literature Solomon Yewell, well known as a writer as “Sol,” has won an honorable position. During the late war he was a member of Co. M, 2d. N. Y. Cavalry and of the 13th Indiana Infantry Volunteers. Regarding an important circumstance he writes as follows: “Several of us old veterans here are using Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure and Nerve and Liver Pills, all of them giving splendid satisfaction. In tact, we have never used remedies that compare with them. Of the Pills we must say they are the best combination of the qualities required in a preparation of their nature we have ever known. We have none but words of praise for them. They are the outgrowth of a new principle in medicine, and tone up the system wonderfully. We say to all, try these remedies." —Solomon Yewell, Marion, Ind., Dec. 5,1892. •These remedies are sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by the Dr. Mlles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind., on receipt of price, SI per bottle, six bottles 85, express prepaid. They positively contain neither opiates nor dangerous drugs. Sold by all druggists.

Shakspeare.

The Ladies’ Literary Society celebrated the anniversary of Shakspeare’s birthday on last Monday evening at the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Thompson, and it was largely attended by the invited guests of members of the society. One of the features of the evening was the music furnished by Healey’s orchestra.. After invocation by Rev. Utter, and music by the orchestra, the roll of members was called and those present responded by giving quotations from the works of Shakspeare. The guests were then asked for quotations and a “few” responded. “The biography qf Shakspeare,” was a well arranged paper read by Mrs. A. Purcupile, Misses Mary Bell Purcupile and Nellie Moss rendered a beautiful instrumental duet on the piano, much to the delight of those present. Mrs. J. M. Wasson reviewed the great tragedy of Hamlet and

it showed great study of this wonderful work in the details given in this interesting paper. Miss True Alter added much to the enjoyable program by rendering a beautiful vocal solo. There is no doubt but that the real feature of the evening was the original burlesque by C. W. Coen on “Hamlet’s Soliloquy.” Mr. Coen was on the program for the latter, but in order to give the audience a little surprise he recited this original creation of his. “Shakspeare’s Service to the Minister” was the subject of a very interesting paper by Elder J. L. Brady, who compared the writings of the great poet as those drawn from the bible. It was a liberal paper and contained many well drawn points. Miss Mary Utter next rendered a violin solo, and was nicely accompanied by Miss True Alter at the piano. Miss Utter wields a masterly hand with the bow and shows careful training and her solo was appreciated. “Shakspeare’s service of the Physician,” was a well arranged paper written by Dr. M. B. Alter, but owing to his absence, it was read by his daughter, Mrs. Belle Watson.

S. P. Thompson, in his quaint way, told of the services of Shakspeare to the lawyer, that was a treat to all. A very interesting number on the program was the “Question Drawer.” Slips of paper were passed among the audience, on which questions of any nature were to be written, and after being gathered up by the secretary the questions were read. They covered a great scope, and you heard most everything, from “What would become of Coxey’s army” to “How did Shakspeare like his eggs cooked?” After a well selected piece by the orchestra, the program was completed and the guests made preparation to retire to their various homes. It is in our estimation that this is the event of the year. Pleasant expression could be heard on every hand commending the delightful entertainment given by the society, and we hope they may continue these meetings as they are a so urce of much good to all.

It will be an agreeable suprise to persons subject to attacks of bilious colic to learn that prompt relief may be had by taking Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. In many instances the attack may be prevented by taking this remedy as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer Druggist. Rev. A. M. Simonton will move his family to Erie county, New York, the first of next week, where he has received an appointment as minister for a congregation at that place. We wish him success.

Rhoades is now entirely out of the employ of Uncle Sam, having resigned his placp Postmaster Hpqan last Saturday: The painters seem to have considerable work on hand by the way the property holders are having work done, Dal Yeoman has added a neat picket fence around his property, which improves the appearance of it.

The J. W. Faris case, which was to have come up at Frankfort last Tuesday, has been continued until the June term. The affidavit asking for continuance alleges that the defendant’s principal witness, T. P. Campbell, could not be on hand now. By Mr. Campbell, he expects to prove that the stock owned by him (Paris) in the Mexican gold mine was worth $40,000 at the time of the failure of the Greentown bank; also that Zimri Dwiggins, co-partner in the bank, was worth $120,000 in unincumbered personal property at the time of the failure of the bank. It looks as if Paris was trying to keep putting the case off until the court and people get tired and give up the prosecution. We would not be surprised to see Zimri try the same game.—Oxford Tribune.

We have on our exchange table, a copy of the Prison Trusty, published at the state penitentiary at Lansing, Kansas, by the inmates of the prison.

He is slowly improving and he hopes for recovery by treatment at the Delphi Springs. D. J. Thompson’s gun came to town by express, Wednesday, and of course this is a pretty good indication that the return of the owner may be expected at any time.

Mrs. Mary Lease and Mrs. Helen Gougar appeared here last Thursday afternoon and evening according to ptevious arrangements and both were greeted with crowded houses at both meetings. Mr«. Lease occupied the time during the afternoon and for three long hours held the great crowd in her eloquent way. She is certainly a wonderful woman, and deserves gr,eat credit for the cause which she has espoused, that of righting the wrong. She has a way of putting these undeniable facts before her hearers that is certainly convincing, and the results of her speeches are always gratifying. In the evening Mrs. Gougar talked to a crowded house of eager listeners, and for almost three hours, did she feelingly and honestly tell to her audience of the immensity of the liquor traffic and other existing evils. They are certainly two great women and are working hard to attain the objects for which they are so arduously striving.

Dissatisfaction as to the town ticket recently nominated by the Rensselaer Republicans, has caused another ticket to be placed in the field under the caption of a citizen’s ticket. A petition, signed by twenty resident voters, was presented to the town clerk, praying that another ticket be placed before the voters. The names of the candidates are as follows: Trus tee for Ist ward, Felix French; 2nd ward, William R. Nowels; 4th ward, John W. Paxton; treasurer, Berry Paris; clerk, Dallas M. Yeoman; marshal, W. W. Reeve.

The Free Will Baptist church gave a supper in the vacant room in the Nowels block, last Saturday evening arid the same was fairly well patronized. They gave a splendid bill or fare, and there was no cause for complaint. The proceeds amounted to over $35.
