Marvelous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimmondale, Mich., we are premitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s new Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results.” Trial bottles free at Frank B. Meyer’s Drug Store Regular size 50c. and 81.00.

Central Station* Indianapolis. Ind. Numerous good rains and not very warm weather improved all crops which had not too far advanced. Very heavy rains, strong winds and hail did some injury in localities. Wheat is ripening, but the straw and heads are short in many fields; in some countries it is nearly ready for cutting. A good crop of barley is being harvested in some localities. and is the best crop, in years The rains cam s too late for young clover in some localities, as it is ready for cutting. Grass and pasturage are in fine condition, but it is short on some meadows. Corn is coming on nicely in clean fields; corn is not all planted yet in some localites. and now planting is delayed because of too wet ground. Some corn has been replanted. Melonshave been transplanted. The ravages of chinch bugs and other insects have been ended by the rain. Potatoes are in good condition, and sweet potatoes are being’ planted. Stock is in good condition. Much fruit is falling, but the crop is quite promising. Lake.

Decoration Day Exercises

No former occasion has been observed more satisfactorily than that of last Saturday. The day was pleasant though threatening rain and the attendance was large. The G. A. R. and W. R. C. deserve great credit for the pains taken in preparing for the event. The procession formed at the court house and marched to the cemetery. It was headed by the Citizens Band, and was composed of detachment of old soldiers with guns and flag, school children, Odd Fellows, Daughters of Rebekah, Knights of Pythias, Masons, St. Joseph’s College Band, St. Joseph’s College Military Battalion, Woman’s Relief Corps, Grand Army Citizens. The addresses at the cemetery were delivered by Wm. B. Austin and Rev. L. H. Findly and both were highly meritorious tributes to the cause and to those who perished for it.

Presbyterian Church Dedication.

After many months of anxious waiting the fine new church was dedicated last Sunday, an overflow congregation being in attendance. The several other churches suspended services and attended these. The officiating minister was Rev. Willis Craig, of McCormick Theological Seminary, Chicago, and his eloquent words were listened to with wrapt attention The debt of 81500 was raised and the formal dedication performed in the evening. ,

C. C. Starr and family were called Sunday night to the death bed 'of his step-father, Amos White of Buck Creek in Tippecanoe county. He was nearly 81 years old. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, Rev. B. Wilson Smith officiating. A public debt is the bankers’ snap. Forty-three bolt firms have formed a trust. God is on the side of right; we need not fear. Nearly everybody seems to favor direct legislation. How many planks had the republican platform of 1860 in it? The latest thing in the way of a big combine is an enormous flour trust; Victory is the first essential of success only. Victory itself is not success. The free coinage of silver would add about 30 or 40 cents per capita to the circulation. Anyway the democrats are sick of Clevelandism. That much pleases the populists. Victory at the polls has killed every party that promised to do too much if entrusted with power. Remember that the populist party is one that performs its promises. Let us not make too many. Tillman says John Sherman is an “arch fiend from hell,” and Tillman thinks he is not radical. And now the people will soon vote to turn the rascals out —and turn the other rascals in—perhaps. They say capital is timid, but we note that it takes everything in sight and calls for things that are not in sight. The cause of “sound money” is not materially assisted by the number of dishonest men that are espousing it. Senator Peffer deserves great credit for pushing his bond investigation resolution to the front and forcing its pas-> sage. McKinley’s case is a verification of the truth that nothing pays like advertising. To this alone is due his great boom. The terrible cyclones of the past few weeks are only a slight foretaste of the cyclone that will strike Clevelandism pretty soon. Democratic promises are not worth the paper upon which they are primed, especially if they are made by the gold bug wing. The labor forces of the cities will vote the people’s ticket this year. ' “We believe that the time has come when the railroad corporations will either own the people, or the people must own the railroads.” —Omaha platform. “The land, including all the material resources of wealth, is the heritage of the people, and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes.”—Omaha platform. Under our magnificent (?) government Americans are living and working to enrich British capitalists, all to make “sound money,” that is “good in Yurrop,” you know. After all, it will not be until the populist party is in powei that the great struggle will be begun. We would have to perform all our promises or there would be no more populist party. How money is to be kept in active circulation is one of the phases of the finance question. This can only be done by abolishing all kinds of bank money, and then increasing the volume to keep pace with business and population.
