THE REPUBLICAN. X. - . - - . r

Some 250 people gathered together in one place last week, in Kentland, to do honor to; the numerous citizens of that burg who propose joining the Dakota exodusters in the near future. From the vast number of people who are emigrating from Kentland one would naturally get the impression that it is a mighty fine place to move away from. Five Mii.es to Feed: —A considerable ditch runs between the house and barn of Mr. David Michaels, of Jordan township, and during the late floods the water therein became so high as to render Mr. Michael’s usual crossing place impassable, tie went “up stream” until he found a crossing, being obliged to travel some five miles before he got to his barn. His neighbors advised him to carry his dinner with him the next time he went to feed his horses. J. M. Stirling, assistant chief engineer of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, yesterday, with other parties interested in the Chicago & Indianapolis Air Line, made a trip over the road on a special train. Mr. Stirling expresses the .opinion that there will be no trouble in getting'the track in shape to put regular trains on within thirty days. He reports a large amount qf business along the line awaiting the opening of the road to move it.—“lndianapolis Journal.”

A Growing Swindle.

Now that the marriage dowry associations are defunct, after gulling thousands of unsuspecting marriageable” • lads and lasses, another outrageous swindle, which has been in operation to some extent for some time past, has increased in magnitude, and new associations are springing up in. all directions. We allude to what is known as, and properly called, “graveyard insurance.” The organizations call themselves life insurance agencies, and parade themselves before the public as honest and legitimate institutions. But the way in which they do business bears the marks of fraud upon its face; for, without hesitancy, they will take “initiatory fee” from those with whom “the sands of life are nearly run,” and insure (?) their lives in a large amount for an almost indefinite length of time. These companies have no more to back them and are 1.0 more reliable than were the marriage dowry associations of the past; for, like them, they are gotten up and run by unscrupulous parties without capital to make good their promises, and when a policy becomes due and you undertake to find the agency “it ain’t there.” Our readers must not understand us to say there are no reliable life insurance companies, for there are, and to be safe none should be patronizsd but those that have an established standing, capital to back them, and which offer no unreasonable terms. It is said that these snide agencies are intending to “work” this county, and if an agent wants to insure the lives of the sickly, aged or infirm—almost on the brink of the grave—in a large sum and for a long time, by you paying a few dollars cash down for a policy, just put it down that he is a “graveyard insurance” chap, and have nothing to do with him.—“Winamac Republican.”

Mobs. Toussiant|has shown experimentally the serious danger of eating meat nearly raw as is now so generally done. If the meat is unsound, the germs of disease must pass into the system unless they are destroyed by heat before the meat is eaten. The most frequent, and dangerous malady with which annimals slaughtered for food are affected is consumption, and even if tne animal is only slightly diseased persons eating the uncooked meat are liable to infection. The raw juice pressed from a slightly affected cow’s lung was used to inoculate heathy rabbits and young pigs, and all the subjects died m a short time from the disease. The experiment was repeated with a portion of the juice which had been partially cooked, and the result was the same. Thorough cooking offmeat to be used for food is recommended as a precuation unsafe to neglect, as only this ensures the entire destruction of the disease germs.
