HERE’S YOUR OPPORTUNITY.

A New Eight-volume Encyclopaedia At About Your Own Price. Every one who has had occasion to consult the cumbersome old encyclopedias for some needed Information, effectually concealed in some long article, will be glad to know of the appearance of a new general reference work built along different lines, so that any child who can read may successfully consult it Such a work is The New Standard American Encyclopedia in eight large quarto volumes, and which embraces the substance of all the other encyclopedias, besides a very large amount of new up-to-date matter none of them contain. It introduces a vast number of new words, names, facts, ideas, inventions, methods and developments. It treats, in all, over 60,000 topics, which is from 6,000 to 10,000 more than any other work. The publishers of the “Standard American" have also lavishly embellished the new work. There are over 3,600 illustrations, which cover every conceivable subject, lending new * interest to the descriptions, and forming a succession of pleasing surprises. It also contains over 800 colored maps, charts, and diagrams, and constitutes a complete atlas Of the world such as*no other encyclopedia has undertaken to present. This feature will, be found of the highest value in the education of the young, for the pictures and colored maps will have a distinct fascination for them, and thus prove an important incentive to reading and study. The professional or business man, whose time is money; the teacher, who is called upon to at once answer all sorts of questions; the toiling student and inquiring scholar, at home or the desk, will find in the new work the most useful and practical library in the world for quick and ready reference on all subjects. One who owns it will possess the equivalent of a score of other reference books which would cost many times the price of this. Another feature in which the new work stands absolutely alone, is in its very full appendixes, which embrace over 100 subdivisions, including a Biographical Dictionary, a Dictionary of Technical Terms, a Gazeteer of the United States, Presidential Elections in the United States, Religious Summaries, State and Territorial Election Statistics, Statistics of the population of the world, and a veritable mine of information on thousands of subjects of universal interest and importance.

But it it in its treatment of recent subjects that the Standard American will be found of paramount value. All other encyclopaedias are from five to ten years old, and are silent regarding hundreds of topics that every reference work should contain. Such, for instance, as “The. X-Ray,” “Argon,” “Horseless Carriages,” “The Atlanta Exposition,” “Color Photography,” etc., etc. It also gives biographies of hundreds of people who have lately become famous, such as Prof. Roentgen, discoverer of the “XRay," lan MacLaren, Dr. Nansen, the explorer, Rudyard Kipling, etc., etc., On account of its lateness in all these matters, as well as its accuracy, it has become the standard in Schools, Colleges, Courts, Publio Libraries, and wherever important questions come up for discussion. It would therefore seem that no provisional man, artisan, mechanic, teacher, pupil, or farmer, can well' afford be without this most useful, practical and latest of all encyclopedias, especially as its price has been so arranged as to make tho work a great bargain, and render its possession possible to almost any one who earnestly desires to own it. Detailed particulars regarding the work and how to secure it at praotically your own price, may be found in an advertisement on another page of this Issue.

Rev. Paradis preached to a good congregation in South Meadow School House last Sunday afternoon and will preach again on the 27th. One hundred people at Waveland have sent Congressman Landis a petition that he call an election for choice of postmaster. We have it by authority that he will refuse the request.—Crawfordsville Star.

The old way of delivering messages by postboys compared with the modern tele phone, illustrates the old tedioup methods of “breaking” colds compared with their almost instantaneous cure by One Minute Cough Cure, Sold by A. P. Long. The children of the Christian church are to render the cantata Uncle Sam and Santa Claus at the opera house the evening before Christmas. Mesdames Moore, and Leatherman, and Miss Bartoo are training the children. After the entertainment a Christmas tree will bo picked. A wild man from the moon will assist Santa Claus. He will be kept chained and great care will be taken to prevent his getting loose. Dr. H. B. Waterman of Oak Park, 111., will present an entertainment at the P. W. Baptist church tomorrow night. Twenty young people in costume will appear in “A Double Japanese Wedding.” There will be 150 beautifully painted magic lantern pictures, described by the man who made the photographs, In all the entertainment is to be very interesting and useful. Half of the proceeds go to the church. Admission 25c; children 10c. A The bill in the Alabama legislature to prohibit the wearing of bloomers in that state was referred to the committee on temperance. The Alabama lawmakers evidently think that bloomers have a tendency to drive people to drink.— Delphi Citizen. We plead for the bloomer, and insist that Alabama lawmakers understand perfectly well that it is a temperance measure. Since their introduction in this city nearly thirty men have gone to Dwight for the gold cure, one saloon has gone out of business and bankruptcy and the Nicholson law threaten the rest of them.

The Coen & Brady elevator is now completed and ready to do business. It is equipped with the latest improved machinery and is th# roost modern elevator in the country. It has a level driveway and platform dumps.

That 832 Foot Bridge.

By the extension of a bridge north of Rensselaer, Jasper county will have probably the longest wagon bridge in the state, the length being 832 feet.— Delphi Citizen. The distinction of having the largest bridge in the state comes from the possession of two other' state eclipsing specialties, viz., the greatest ditch building pirate and the only boneless backed board of county commissioners. Most aby county can have an 832 foot bridge by running a drainage ditch so as to divert waters from their natural course and then leave the outlet dammed up so as to flood a few thousand acres. All that is needed is a B. J. Gifford and a triangle court .willing to build bridges instead of protecting suffering citizens by ordering the water removed. It might be remarked in this connection that the people of Jasper county will make matters so warm for some one that the flood now ruining many fine farms will be removed and there will be several hundred feet of bridge for sale on some bargain counter.

Confidence.

To enjoy the confidence of the public, honestly won, is a priceless boon. , The confidence repos ed in John Eager by the people of this community is without doubt the chief reason for his great success in the grocery trade. His name and fame as a square dealer is familiar in every household. To say that an article came* from Eiger’s is a guarantee of its purity and full weight. In his establishment a child gets the same quality of goods and the same correct, exact weights as the keenest, shrewdest buyer. He is a close, careful buyer and handles nothing in his line but the beet goods which are always bought for spot cash and sold quick at a close margin. His success in business and in winning the confidence of the people is no secret, on the contrary, it is an open book that can be read by every business man 'with profit. It is simply to invite the best trade through the best known channels, keep the best quality of goods, sell them at fair prices, give honest weight and measure, and the battle is won. It is easy. Any business man can reach Mr« Eiger’s plane in the estimation of the public by imitating his straight-forward, manly methods.

80NG OF THE BURDEN BEARER. Over the narrow footpath That led from my lowly door I went with »thought of the Master, As oft I had walked before. My heart urns heavily laden, And with tears my eyes were dim. Bat I knew t should lose the burden Gould Z get a glimpse of him. Over the trodden pathway, To the fields all shorn and bar* 1 went with a step that faltered And a face that tpld of aare. I bad lqst the light of the morning, With Its shimmer of sun and dew, But a gracious look of the Master - Would the strength of morn renettt While yet my eourage wavered And the sky before me blurred I beard a voice behind me a tender word, And I turned to aee the brightness Of heaven upon the road And suddenly lost the pressure Of the weary, crushing load. Nothing that hour was altered— I had still the weight of oare— But I bore it now with gladness Which comes of answered prayer. Not a grief the soul can fetter Nor oloud its vision when The dear Lord gives the spirit To breathe to his will amen. —M. E. Bangs ter In Witness.

TO SUBMIT TO TESTS.

»r. Powell, Who Says He Has a Cure All, to Have a Sanitarium For His Theory. Dr. Thomas Powell, who confidently believes that he has made discoveries in medicine whereby the whole science and practice of that profession will be revolutionised, has left Columbia, Mo., for Los Angeles, where he goes at the solicitation and expense of Chicago capitalists and scientists who are going to install the dootor in a sanitarium and give his theory a praotioal test Dr. Powell is exceedingly retioent in regard to his disoovery and absolutely refuses to disclose the nature of the remedy, exoept to say that It is physiological and constitutional in character. He further states that he has explained its character to a few medical scholars, who agree with him in saying it is entirely praotioal. The preparation will immune from all dread diseases and is either in fluid or solid form. Contrary to general belief, it is not a serum. Dr. Powell is a man about 60 years of age, being slight of stature and remarkably active for one of bis years. He says he feels as young as he did 40 years ago. After gradnating from the New York Medical oollege he oame west to practice his profession, but all the while keeping np his studies. He located in Paola, Kan., and from there he went to Springfield, Mo., where he enjoyed an excellent praotioe and acquired a. small fortune. After studying for 18 years he began to investigate along the lines upon whioh his discovery was made. He became so engrossed in his investigations that he abandoned his praotioe, and for the last 10 years he has done comparatively nothing but work on his theory. He spent all his fortune, and at last he settled in Columbia to get the advantage of the medical library of the state university. With his fortune gone and nothing left but a set of watch repairing tools he went into the business of repairing watches and olooks, all the while keeping np his work of scientific research. It is said that he has gone four days without sleep.—St. Louis Post-Dis-patch.

SUBMARINE WRECKING.

A Craft to Explore For Sunken Vessels to * Be Built In Baltimore. The Columbian Iron works of Baltimore have oontraoted to build a submarine wrecking boat, the first ever built for praotioal submarine engineering work. Simon Lake of Baltimore is the inventor of the craft, whioh, It is claimed, will always be under perfect oontrol, rjsing to the surfaoe and submerging at will, and capable of being propelled in any desired direction when on tbe bottom of the waterway. It will be used principally for searching tbe bed of the ooean adjacent to coastlines and in finding and recovering sunken vessels and their oargoes. According to the specifications, the new boat will be about 64 tons displacement and will have a crew of six men. Bhe will, Mr. Lake claims, be a]j]e tg cruise around fin the bottom for a day at a time before it-wiil be necessary to ascend to the surfaoe to renew the air supply and eleotrioal knergv. On the boat thete will be a powerful searoblight to light up a pathway in front of and on either side of the vessel as she moves along over the bottom. The hull is to be of steel and strongly ribbed and guaranteed by tbe contractors to resist the pressure of the water at required depths. The contract calls for tbe completion of the boat by March I,' 1897.

She Earned It All.

Melba has SIOO,OOO invested in gowns, it is said, one of them having cost $16,000. Thongh $16,000 is a good deal for a single dress, it is worth while to note that the wearer earned it herself. —Boston Globe.

The Same... Old Sarsaparilla.

That’s Ayer’s. The same old sarsaparilla as It was made and sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer SO years ago. In the laboratory it is different. There modern appliances lend speed to skill and experience. But the sarsaparilla is the same old sarsaparilla that made the record— SO years of ewres. Why don’t we better it? Well, we’re much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry: ** Doubtless, ” he said, “God might have made a better berry. But doubtless, also, Ho never did. ’’ Why don’t we better the sarsaparilla? We can’t. We are using the same old plant that cured the Indians and the Spaniards. It has not been bettered. And since «re make sarsaparilla compound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if ws were making some secret chemical compound we might.... But we’re not. We’re making the same old sarsaparilla to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it’s the •a me old sarsaparilla because it works the same old cures. It’s the sovereign blood purifier, and— it*a dyers*

The True Test of Oysters.

“The best oyster experts that I know of, ” said the oaptain of an oyster boat, “judge an oyster by the smell, instead of by the taste. These is something about the smell of any oyster that indicates its condition to me muoh plainer than does the taste. People buy them and eat them probably on aooount of their taste. So also do they boy tea, ooffiae and tbe various grades of whisky and brandy for their taste, but all experts on those things pass upon them entirely by their smelL The professional tea taster or whisky taster, so called, never tastes them, but simply arrives at their taste by their peculiarities of flavor, or, to speak plainly, smelL “I can tell what prloe a load of oysters will be rated at when they arrive at tbe wharf here by opening up the hold of the boat aud smelling. In eight oases out of ten lam right. It strikes oystermen as strange when they see persons going about from boat to boat, as they lie at the wharf, tasting oysters before they oonalude to buy. Taste is all right, but if they don’t smell right they will never taste right ’’ —Washington Star.
