Life’s Journey Ended.

Mrs. Mary E. Hopkins, widow of the late Newman W. Hopkins, died Monday evening, March 29th, at St. Vincent’s hospital, Indianapolis, of congestion of the brain, as the result of a surgical operation performed on March 16th, for the removal of a malignant spider cancer. Tne deceased has been a sufferer from this cause for over two years, though known to but a few of her most intimate relatives, .and its dangerous development was not realized even by herself. Previous to going to St. Vincent’s hospital she visited relatives at Indianapolis and Vernon and prepared to meet the worst. The result of the operation was thought to have been successful and for over a week the most satisfactory progress was made, the wound healing healthfully. But the strain upon the patient’s mind and nervous system was too severe, and the result was as stated above. The remains were brought to her home in Rensselaer Tuesday afternoon, and the funeral was held at 2 p. m. from the Presbyterian church. Rev. R. D. Utter of the M. E. church officiating. The beautiful masonic rites of the Eastern Star Order were performed by the members of the Evening Star Chapter, No. 41, of which society she was a charter member. The remains were laid at rest in Weston cemetery by the side of her husband. The floral tributes were grand, and bespoke the high esteem in which the departed was held by all who knew her.

She was born June 3, 1834 ' in Marion cop" 4 , , unto, bettig at her death 62 years, 9 months and 28 days old. She came to l ‘pel 4 county witL? her fathers family when sixteen I'&ars old, and was married to New~ ruan 4 Hopkins April 12, 1875.

Crosscup, all living in Rensselaer, She was for many years a member of the Methodist church, but united a few years ago with the Presbyterian church, and has always lived the life of a consistent Christian,

On the Death of John E. Randle.

Editor Pilot:—l was very much pained to learn through your paper last week of the death of my old friend, Jno. E. Randle. I had the pleasure of being' a member of his family one winter while teaching in Hanging Gr’ve and well knew and appreciated the value of his honest friendship. He was a man of strong character, strictly honorable himself, and always honest and candid with everyone. The wife has lost a kind, loving, noble husband; the children, an indulgent father, and Jasper county a most worthy citizen. His ele gant home was always the abode of princely hospitality, and many a bright picture of sweet-voiced welcome comes back to the friends of Mr. Randle when they think of the years that are gone. •‘So fades a sun mer’s cloud away. So sinks the gale when storms are o’er. So gently shuts the eye of day. So dies a wave along the shore.” “I am the resurrection and the life,” said our Blessed Redeemer. We thank Him for those words and fondly cling to His many promises. Life would not be worth the living were the souls of our loved ones to go out in darkness and nothingness forever. The grave grows wider and deeper every day, and into its mighty bosom we will all go. But there is another and a brighter picture in the future,i far beyond

earthly scenes; far beyond the sighing and dying, our loved ones are waiting and watching for us, standing like sentinels on the ramparts of the better land, farewell old friend! In the land of the blest, in the glad springtime of eternity I will take thee by the hand and look again into thy face, farewell. Charles N. Huston, M. D.

Legal Xotiee. Notice is hereby given that the undersigned as administrator and under section 2(587 R. S. 18D4 will settle the estate of Mary Casey, deceased, and an order to that effect has been made. The estate is solvent. John Reed, Administrator.

IraF. Burnham, Supt. Stoughton Rubber Co., Stough ton, Mass, arrived last Thursday to spend a few days with his brother, Squire Burnham. It is the visitor's first introduction to Indana and a more disagreeable season could not have been selected than the present. However, he was at once put in tow of that inim itabie M. L. Spitler, and if he fails to inflate on the beauties of Hoosierdom, it will be proof of his impenetrable yankee fullness.

A Valuable JPrencription. Editor Morrison of Worthington, Ind., “Sun,"’ writes: “You have a valuable prescription in Electric Bitters, and I can cheerfully recommend it for constipation and sick headache, and as a general system tonic it has no equal.” Mrs. Annie Stehle, 2(525 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago, was all run down, could noteat nor digest food, had a backache which never left her and felt tired and weary, but six bottles of Electric Bitters restored her health and renewed her strength. Prices 50 cents and tl.OOi Qqt a bottle at F. B. Meyer’s, drug store.

Ellis Opera House.

The Garrick Theatre Co., which is holding forth at the opera house this week has thus far presented a series of very commendable plays, in a very clever manner. The company as a whole is a very superior 6ne, being composed of artists, who eprne froqi the higher walks of the dramatic profession. The plays thus far presented have been “Monte the Gambler,” ‘'An Actor’s Romance” with '‘A Happy Pair” as a cuyt&tn raiser, ap4 “Broken Hsalts." Theseall plays of literary merit, and judging from what has been giv^ u thus far, wo may reasonably look forward to something above the oru ’ na! T for the re mainder of the week

MR. ALBERT LANDO.

“Camile,” which will be presented Friday evening, and “Mr. Potter of Texas” Saturday evening, are the two features of the company’s refertoire. “Potter of Texas” is by A. C. Gunther, the author of “Mr. Barnes of New York” and has been one of the most successful of the laterdky comedies. Being produced in New York city in 1891 it made a run of 200 nights to almost un paralelled business and when it was taken on the road created a sensation in all of the large cities. Coming from the pen of Mr. Gunther it is not difficult to understand that it is a play of unusual literary merit. The book “Mr. Potter of Texas” had a large sale when it was tirst published and no doubt many of our people are familiar with the story. To those who have had t he pleasure of reading the book the play will be the more interesting. Mr. Potter is a true type of the rough, big-near ted and withal gallant Texan. His decidedly frauk and emphatic manner in which he expresses him self, and his many, peculiar western mannerisms prove exceedingly ludicrous when contrasted with the polish of the blueblooded English aristocracy, with whom he is thrown in con-

tact. While the play is thoroughly a comedy, it abounds in strong dramatic situations.

“Those papers, or you die!” (Scene from Mr. Potter of Texas.)

Mr. Albert Lando. the leading man of the Garrick company, (whose picture appears above) has made a profound study of the part of Potter, and from his newspaper criticisms -we judge that his portrayal of the character is a finished piece of acting. Manager Ellis looks for a jam Saturday night and those who purpose attending will do well to secure their seats early in the day.

A. f\ Long may now be found at the post office with his books. All persons knowing themselves to be indebted to to him will please call and settle as early as possible. He must have money in 'order to start in business again.

The mail sack that was lost in Iroquois river, near Foresman. a short time ago, was found Tuesday near the spot where the mail carrier was drowned. This office received a letter Thursday that had been in the sack and it was damaged but very little.— Morocco Courier.

THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS

A Short History of Indiana’s Great* est Newspaper. Whatever excels interests. The loftiest mountain, the longest river, the largest city. Yet keener interest attaches to the greatest achievements of men—in oratory, statesmanship or war. The sharpest contest these clays is between newspapers, demanding the greatest diversity of gifts, of knowledge and sagacity. In other fields the decision is doubtful, but in journalism the popular verdict is practically registered each day in the subscription list —a sort of Australian Ballot System. This test shows The Indianapolis News to have more bona fide readers than any other four Indiana Dailies combined. This makes good the above title head. The vvhnle State may indu’rre nride in another point scored by The News: it is conceded to have more circulation proportioned to population than any other American Daily. Whether this signifies greater enterprise in The News or a more intelligent reading people, or both is a question. No phenomenon exists without its adequate cause. The News itself gives two main reasons as follows:

(1) When The News began, twenty- ‘ eight years ago, every other paper had its political alliance, slavishly espousing one party with its principles and candidates against nil others, looking to that party in turn for support and patronage; the highest ambition was the organship of its party in State, district, county or neighborhood. The News believed that such relationship not only biased the. editorial mind, but unconsciously, if not consciously, tinted and colored the news columns, leading to the magnifying of what tended to help, and ndidtmlr.liig or suppressing what hurt the party. The News, therefore, swung’ loose from all entanglements and blazed a new way absolute independence, not neutrality, which means the opposite; criticised men or measures of either party; always took sides, wilti a choice oven between evils; distinguished between the freedom and slavery of independence; not hesitating to ally itself with either party In (urn to bring In reforms or break down abuses. While this course meant no political patronage and usually the anger of both parties at flic sumo time, it found marvelous response in the universal American instinct of independent thought, it compelled respect and opened the door for renders In the ranks of all parties. Tills meant preponderance of circulation, which, In turn, means preponderance of advertising. (2) The News was the first 2-cent paper in tho West, all others 5 cents. Against universal prophecy that It could not live at such a price, It Is now 25 per cent, larger, taking tho six week day Issues together, than any other Indiana dally, and sells at 10 cents a week delivered anywhere by carrier or mall, postpaid, against 15 cents a week, which Is charged for the next best Indiana daily. No other paper In the State, at whatever price, now pretends to furnish equal*quantity and scope of Intelligence—a volume of telegraphic news and correspondence from all quarters of the globe; a harvest of State happenings; market quotations for tho farmer and business map, averaging from seventeen lo twenty-four hours ahead of all morning papers; abstracts of Supreme, Court decisions for tho legal profession; something for everybodv-_ lT i amount to stagger credul, ity '

II is estimated that not less than 150,000 people read The News every day. It maintains for the people cheap rate “Wanted” columns for advertising, by which millions of property changes hands annually without the owners ever seeing each other. Almost all have some&ing to sell, buy. trad‘d or rent: a horse, cow, wagon, farm, mill or store, etc., etc. Express it in as few words as possible, then count every word and send as many cents as there are words to The News and sec the result. Or if preferred write out what you want and they will phrase the advertisement for you and return with the price. Address THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, Indianapolis, Ind.
