Indianapolis is not succeeding very well iu stain pint? out small-pox in that city. Six new cases were discovered there yesterday. Richmond has never been more tfortfeously decorated with show bills than at present. Three tent shows coming all in a bunch is an unusual thing. Up to a late hour last night the robins saug praises for the first pleas ant day of the season, and they renewed the song service early this morning. Fruit buds in this section pa sed safely through the late unpleasantness. If nothing happens to them later oa we will have an uuusual crop and variety of home grown fruit. Mrs. Carrie Nation is now occupying a cell in the Wichita, Kansas, jail and will remain there till the May term of court unless she furnishes t"00 bail which she has thus far refused to do. A terrible railroad accident occurred on the C. 11. & D. railroad yesterday evening a few miles north of Dayton. Engineer Patrick Doolin and Fireman Ray mond MeElroy were iustautly killed. A number of other persons were more or less seriously injured. The breaking of a small truck of the engine caused the disas"Michigan Flyer" and was running at a speed of about sixty or seventy miles an hour. Arkansas tipplers are greatly exercised over a law which has passed the upper branch of the legislature making it illegal for any person to take a drink in the state without first having a license which must be secured from the county clerk, stat. ing that he is a "duly authorized drinker of the state of Arkansas," for which he pays the clerk a fee of five dollars per year. If such a law could be enforced it would save the person who is an inveterate drinker as well as the one under age, and put him in a position to save much worry and vexation to the authori ties. The (irand Itapids A Indiana road having passed the $2,000 a mile re ceipts the Michigan railroad commis siou has ordered it to reduce its rate of passenger fare to 2 cents ier mile. According to the Grand Rapids Press the road will fiht the order. General Counsel T, J. O'Hrien says that the company will not submit unless it is clear that a battle in the courts will be futile. The claim of the road is that while they had receipts above the limit the past year they fear a falling of the next year, and that once they are at the 2 cent limit they can never raise. If they go to the rate de inanded by the state they will have to reduce the service, take off some passenger trains, and call in all 1,000 mile tickets. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Prepared by Thos. V.

The Street Commissioner Putting Out His Men TodayA Ceneral Clean Up---The New Bridge Work. One of the most important parts of the city work for the coming sixty days will be the street departmeot.The cleaning-up gang was started out today, and the commissioner thinks if the weather will only be favorable that he will be able to have the city all cleaned upinsideof forty days. He has seventy-five men and fifteen teams at work. The stone crusher is to be repaired and out to work at once, which will mean an extra gang of men there also. On attempting to raise the old bridge at the paper mill, which is to be raised on account of the change of the grade of the street, it was found that the chords were all decayed and work had to be stopped as it would result in tearing the structure all to pieces. As the chords will all have to be renewed it is a job which the street commissioner can not handle. Work has been stopped and a contract with some bridge raiser will be made. This will de lay the work there a good deal, and meantime the people of Happy Hollow will be cut off from the city. To help this out the street commissioner will rebuild the abandoned road there to the west and make it usable until the bridge can be completed and thrown open to the public. The dragging of the opening of north fourth street makes it necessary that something be done to let the travel out from the C. H. & M. depot. The street commissioner will tear up the alley from near Deuker's grocery from fifth to third street and reboulder it clear across which will make a street 16 feet wide there. TRACTION LINES. The Time for Acceptance or the Franchise at Cambridge City Extended to May 7. The Cambridge City Tribune contains the following, this morning: "J. W. Chipmanof Indianapolis to whom the franchise for an electric railway was granted by the town trustees appeared before the board on Tuesday night, and asked for a few which, after consideration, were granted. The most important change was fixing the time for surrendering the security cveck of $1,000, which was. made to read to be surrendered when the road is completed and in operation. In eonsequ-nce of these changes the time for acceptance of tbe franchise was extended to May 7 iyoi. The same paper contains the fol lowing which reads a tritle odd to us if the Varney referred to is the one who has the contract here: "At the regular meeting of the town trustees Tuesday nicrht. the new electric light was accepted upon the recommendation of the town electrical engineer, G.

The hatches were then shut uir tight and will be kept so for 24 hours. The loard will then see if the tire is out. One side of the vessel was red-hot during the morning and the wooden deck is covered with a running stream of melted pitch. One of the crew who attempted to go into the hold to direct a stream of water was badly burned and another was overcome by smoke. . Britons Hear a Kumor. London, April 25.

Humors of Trouble. London, April 25. The date of Lord Salisbury's return to Ixmdon from the Itiveria is still problematical, and the rumors of cabinet trouble over the budget are assuming great consistency In the lobbies of parliament. THK CANAL I'KOJECT Lord Faunceloie and Secretary Haj Trjinir to Get Together. Washington, April 25. Ixird Fauncefote, the British ambassador, was in conference with Secretary Hay at the state department yesterday for an hour. The important subject of discussion was the caual project. It is doubtful whether Lord Fauneefote will be in Washington when Secretary nay returns from his Western trip, and he was anxious to le able, during his visit to Ioudou, to reiort to the Bri'ish foreign office not only the exact situation here respecting the canal problem, but also on the prospects of the ratification of any convention that he might le able to frame in conjunction with Secretary Hay to replace the lost I lay-Fauneefote treaty. Secretary Hay has been at work ever since congress adjourned trying to learn just what could be exin-cted oi the senate iu case he should submit another treaty to that body. But for reasons heretofore explained, up to latlve field. Therefore lArd Faunce fote, if he goes to Indon lefore Sec retary Hay returns, can present to the foreign office only a partially de velops! picture of the situation here. though he may Ih able, through his long experience in Washington, to supplement the ideas he has gathered from Secretary Hay with some views of his own that may afford the British government the information it requires as a precedent to initiating fresh ne gotiations for a new treaty. He Has Been Reinstated. Vancouver, B. C, April 25. Jap anese paiH-rs announce that J. Mo Leavy Brown, geueral superintendent of the Korean revenue office, has been reinstated.

Influences have been constantly exerted against Jdm In Korea, and that h would long ago have ceased to hold his post, had he not ben vigorously supiorted by British officialdom. The ostensible reason for his removal by the Korean government was that th site of his house was needed for other purposes. The Kaiser Is Impressed. Berlin, April 25. The Frankfurter Zeitung expresses the opinion that the rumors reeardincr a nlnt n!nr th. life of Emperor William, involving Romagnoli. have made a strong impression upon the emperor, inasmuch as he still shows a very lively interest in tne circumstances attendine the as sault mon him at Bremen. Good, Times In Pern. Lima. Peru. April 25. An illustration of the settled political conditions of Peru and of the general confidence felt by local and foreign capital is found in the fact that the loan of 1.0n,'"n made by the Peruvian Salt company -as subscribed in cigUt days firs times over T Culture on Trial ! Loalataa. Tea culture, says the Chicago Bee ord, may finally develop Into one ol the more Important industries of fu isiana. although at this time the out come of experiments now being mad is largely problematical. At the Louisiana experimental station Dr. W. C Stubbs is conducting an elaborate ex periment, and cp to this time the results have been thoroughly satisfactory. He has an area of comfortable size, with 630 tea plants. They have crown until they now range from six inches to one feot in height. They are healthyvhjrorous looking plants, and if any Injurious in Silences are at work no trace! -! tbem can be found.

WHY MRS. PINKHAM

I Able to Help Sick "Women When Ioctora Fail. How gladly would men fly to woman's aid did they but understand a woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances. Those thing-s are known only to women, and the aid a man would give ia not at bis command. To treat a cse properly it ia necessary to know all about it, avnd full information, many times, cannot be given by a woman to her family phyMas. G. IL CHirrtu. aician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything, and the physician ia at a constant disadvantage. This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women have been confiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham, and whose advice has brought happiness and health to countless women in the United States. Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Fark, I1L, whose portrait we publish, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs, linkham's advice and use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as they cured her of inflammation of the ovaries and womb ; she, therefore, speaks from knowledge, and her experience ought to give others confidence. Mrs. Pinkhm's address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice it absolutely free. SURVEYS IN THE PHILIPPINES loans Filipino Will Taught to Take I'art In I lie Work.. Ir. O. II. Tittinaiin. suiierintendeut of the coast and the geodetic survey, is aliout to make an interesting experiment, says the New York Sun. He Intends to train a number vf young natives of the Philippines for service in the scientilic work to be carried out among their islands. The idea is lelicved to be an excellent one. To interest some of the bright young men of our colony in the scientific development of their country and to identify them with researches to le made there will be helpful lioth to the natives and to our scientilic bureaus, which are to expend a gnat deal of energy iu the Philippines. Civil service examinations open to all educated young natives are soon to be held in Manila for the selection of 15 Filipinos as aids in the Fnited States coast and geodetic survey. Those who are selected for the work will probably be brought to the United States for preliminary training in the office of the survey at Washington In-fore leing as signed to active service in charting the rivers ai-.d harbors of the islands. The government, of course, will bear all the exjtenses of their training. YA ben they are ready to enter the Hold, each man ir WHS' UV & J'f.2iL2JrS21r; ary In the Philippines, where most com modities are very cheap. The work before the coast and geo detic survey in the islands involves a great deal of labor and may not be completed for some years. It includes the charting of navigable rivers and harbors and careful soundings along many hundreds of miles of coast wa ters where vessels ply in the coastal trade. VAST BILL FOR SOUTH AFRICA The Prnhahle Cost of th A n u 1 1 Boer Vr. When Sir. Krugor was reported to say that if the British wanted to take his country he would make them pay 100.cn KM N" for it. we laughed pleasantly. But it was the laughter of fools and is already crackling like thorns under the pot of the ex-pres!-dent at The Hague, says The Saturday IJwview. The fact is that we have already spent ou the South African war 140.01 n Win. and as it Is admitted that our expenditure is at the rate of 0,X0,000 a month and we shall have to pay large sums for compensation and assistance to ruined farmers the total probable cost will uot be far short of 2OO,0X),0X. This would be five times what tbe Crimean war cost us and nearly a third of the debt incurred in the great struggle with Napoleon. It Is too late now to ask whether South Africa is, commercially or morally, worth this gigantic outlay. Time alone can show whether or- not we have again put our money on the wrong horse. Some people think that the Yang-tse valley would have been a better investment, but three powerful Individuals, Mr. Rhodes. Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Alfred Milner, seem to have decided that the future of (Jreat Britain lies in Africa, not in Asia. So let us hold our peace and pay the bill. KITE WINDMILLS. Eddy'i oTfl Apparatus For Araay ad LlKhthoase Signaling-. William A. Eddy sent aloft his first successful revolving windmill for ar my, navy and lighthouse signaling at Bayonne, N. J., the other night by means of kites, says the New York Journal. He demonstrated beyond a doubt that a windmill with a revolving upright shaft and horizontal revolving bars three feet in diameter can be carried to a great height by means of mammoth kites and made to revolve suspended lanterns with marvelous spectacular effect and with greater light giving power than the revolving single light used by the lighthouses. He also found that two lights whirling like a horizontal pinwheel are visible rt a greater distance than when stilL because the rapid motion of the lights catches the eye. Four lights green, blue, yellow and red will be attached to four fans of tbe windmill at the next ascension. Mr. Eddy propose to coat the four fans of the windmiirwith tinfoiL to be electrically connected to earth by way of the steel wire kite cable, the windmill acting as a collector to heavily Charge the wire. Xo dynamo or battery is to be used. Wlr She Ware ft. Ee (to the young widow) Why do yon wear such a heavy veil? I thought that yon bad an objection to oetentatJout mourning.

UPTON BOAT NOVELTIES

Shamrock II Will Have a Pole Mast of Nickel SteeL TO MEASURE 148 TEET IN LE5GTH Haeh Wetsht Mill Be Saved sad aa Spar Better Braeed Boa at ta Measure 112 Feet aad Total Leath Kraaa Vamarll Ead to Malaaall Oalhaal 1S4 Fee 6 laehea. The America's cup races and yachts building for the challengers and defenders receive great attention iu tbe latest yachtiug papers from Loudon. The Yachting World tells of some of the novelties aloft and of the rig of the Shamrock 11 and says: "From what is already known of Sir Thomas I.iptou's second challenger there Is good reason for expecting that the hull will show some striking modifications of the form geuerally adopted for the big racing yachts. The exact extent of these modifications and the effect which they will have ou the sliced of the loat are matters which will not le clearly known until after the boat has beeu tried and launched. Every little change is of Importance, however, as indicating a phase of development or experiment which may improve our chances of wuecess in this important contest, and there will therefore be considerable interest iu the announcement which we make with confidence that there will be many novelties iu the rigging and aail plan of Shamrock II. "Most striking among these Is the fact that in planning the spars Mr. tJoorge 1 Watson has departed altogether from the usual method of fitting a topmast over a maiumast and has taken a bold step in fitting the challenger with a pole mast. Needless to say, the spar will be the longest ever stepped in a vessel of any kind, and from the step to the truck it will tae no less than 14S feet. Such a spar would have been lmiossiblo in the time of wooden masts, but this will le made throughout of thin plates of ntckel steel rolled to semicircular shae. riveted on loth edges and strengthened Inside by a large number of steel spurs extending from side to side of the spar. "Three or four advantages are ex pected from this style of spar. The first and cldef Is that there will le no topmast to be a possible source of weakness and a permanent worry to the skipper every time the wind blows more than fresh. The Shamrock s only chance In tbe last contest was In the reaching race, and she lost this through an unsuspected weakness in her top mast gear. With the pole mast a stout er and better braced spar will le secured and the risk of accident minimized. "No yachtsman requires to be told that the advantage of weight saved is multiplied when the weight Is saved aloft, and in this another advantage is expected. The weight of the doubling which is necessary when the mainmast and topmast are used will le saved and with It the weight and windage of all the housing and part of the standing gear. Again, the steel spar built as part of the pole mast can be made much lighter than- the wooden topmast, and every pound saved at this altitude is of Importance. "In the distribution of the sail also ... - -i--u.....r will oresent a marked difference to the boat which; carried the last challenge. The great spread of the fore triangle of Shamrock I was the subject of much unfavorable comment. It measured 79 feet In the base as against Columbia's 73 feet. Mr. George L. Watson has cut his fore triangle down farther even than was done on Columbia, and on the new boat it will measure only 71 feet. This Is done not by shortening the bowsprit, but by stepping the mast farther forward, and the result will be to give Shamrock II the largest mainsail ever carried on a racing yacht. On the boom it will stretch 112 feet in length, and the total length from bowsprit end to mainsail outhaul will be 184 feet G inches." PERU'S FRIENDLY ATTITUDE Generoaa Coaeeaatona to the Har vard CoaaerTator? at Areqalpa. The Peruvian government has recently given evidence of Its friendly sentiment toward the United States by offering to Harvard university such real estate as might le required for the extension of the astronomical plant of that university at Arequipa, Peru, says a Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune. The authorities have also granted the unusual concession of admitting free of duty all the equip ment which Harvard may send to the station. The observatory was established by Harvard about 15 years ago and has been doing Important work in making careful observation of the stars In the southern heavens. The Harvard au thorities have recently determined to extend the headquarters at Arequipa, and when this came to the attention of the Peruvian government the tender of land and a remission of all duties was made to the university authorities through Senor Calderon, the Peruvian minister at Washington. Qaite mm lateraaf lona! Affair. With the Constitution and the Independence opposed to the Shamrock the Daughters of the American Revolution ought to be interested, says tbe Boston Globe, in the coming yacht race. The Chiaeae Indentaltr. If the powers collect the claims of $500,000,000 filed against China, every resident of tbe Flowery Kingdom, says the Omaha Bee. will face the necessity of taking in bis neighltor's washing. A TVUe Saa-ceatloa. The rn'-cT man had married the rich man's daughter and wasn't killing himself wit h work to support her. One day the father called him up to talk to him.

I can't live always to support yon. "But yon will leave us something? "Not much, I won't. There won't be anything to leave." The son-in-law was alarmed. "Great Jupiter be exclaimed.

DR. W. D. TANNER. CCRED BT DR. GREENE S NERVCRA. Here is the strongest possible testimonial of cure, the restoration to health of a widely known and eminent phvsiriaa, W. D. Tanner, M.lX.of 390 Idaho St., Denver, Colo., who graduated in the Allopathic School of Medicine in 1833 and practiced medicine for twenty-five years. He waa sick and nothing helped him until he used Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Now he is well and strong, hearty and vigorous, and he tells the world of his remarkable cure by Dr. Greene's N'ervura in order that all who are sick, suffering, run dawn, or in any way out of health may take this sureat of all remedies to cure, tad be promptly restored to health. Dr. W. D. Tanner says : When In the City of Mexico I was sun struck, which paralyzed my nervous system and left me a wreck. Since that time all through life I have had to avoid all the pursuits of life w here one Is liable to be overcome by heat. I have taken care of myself, and used remedies prescribed by doctors until old age and general debility came upon me. I then became constipated, had involuntary twitchings of the muscles, palpitation of the heart, torpid liver, and indigestion, and could not sleep, and my appetite failed me. Under these conditions I was seeking after a good cathartic, when a friend advised me to try a bottle of Dr. Greene's Laxura Cathartic Pills. I did so and the result was entirely satisfactory. I then procured a bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and I have been using it ever since. Since that time I must confess to all the world that I enjoy better health now than I have for the past fifty years. My hearing, taste, and smell, and sight are good ; my appetlta and digestion are all right ; I sleep well, and I must say that thesa physical changes have taken place within me under the influence of Dr. Greene's medicines; hence, I can truthfully recommend Dr. Greene's medicines to all people who are afflicted with nervous diseases, and to all working people who are exposed to changes of heat and cold. I was always predjudiced against patent medicines, but must confess that since using Dr. Greene's remedies I feel as well as I did in my younger days." All who are nervous, weak, tired, exhausted in nerve power and physical strength ; who are sleepless, wake tired and nnrefreshed, without strength and energy for the day's work ; who have poor blood, rheumatism, headache, backache, dyspepsia, indigestion, gas, bloating, faint feelings, loss of appetite, kidney or liver complaint will find great relief and permauent cure in Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. . .
