The state board of medical examination and registration, which will convene next Tuesday at Indianapolis, will have to consider the cases of about 20 physicians who are at present practicing without authority-in Indiana. The car load of finely crushed rock placed on the business part of Washington street, recently is a total loss. It was too fine and spread on too thin to pack, and it simply makes so much more mud to be scraped up and carted away. Mr. James N. Clemens, “Professeur de Langues Vivantes” is now making his home at the Makeever House, and is prepared to give instructions in French and other modern languages, to such as desire his services. The eventful year of 1898 is now’ within a few weeks of simply being a memory, yet few people seem to realize the fact. In the matter of history-making the year 1898 will probably lead all other years in the last decade of the closing century. W. 8. Holderness, who belongs to the engineering corp of the Ist 111. regiment has gone back to Chicago, where he expects to be mustered out next week. Miss Sadie Cody will have charge of his school in Barkley Tp., during his absence. Mrs. James Chapman and Mrs. Candace Loughridge entertained thirty two of their lady friends yesterday, at an afteroon party. In domonioes Miss Maud Spitler, won the prize, which was an ele-; gant china plate. The guests] from abroad were, Mrs. Albert Fendig from Brunswick, Ga., and | Mrs. Will Bunnell from Monticello. The legal complications of Geo.' D. Meyers of Remington and his wife. Hettie Meyers, did not ter- 1 minate with the divorcing of the, couple, as he has now sued her, to recover money alleged to have

been paid by him to pay off a mortgage on property she now holds. The Odd Fellows were surrounded by a band of white caps, last night just as they were preparing to adjourn for the evening. But when they had recovered from their fear and surprise, they found it was about 30 of the Rebekahs, who had brought well filled baskets with them. After enjoying the elegant repast, a good sociable time was had until a late hour. It was a complete surprise to the brethren. The fate of the Lez Ricardo company which “played” here one night last week, is tearfully told by the Lafayette Call of Friday night which says “A company of 10 people, including four women, became stranded at Delphi night before last, but by mortgaging their baggage managed to get to this city, where they stopped last • i_,ht, there not being money enough to pay for bed or breakfast until after a good* watch had been put up as security for the sum of sll. The party disbanded here, and ‘every feller is lofikin’ out for hisself.’ ” City Electrician Chamberlain is experimenting with a new kind of arc light. It is radically different from the arcs now in use here, as, unlike them, it burns with a clear steady light, without any of their flashing and sizzling. It also requires much less attention than the old kind. Its carbons burn for 100 hours without change, while the old kind have to be changed ever other day. Its only drawback is that it requires more electricty, or in other words, more power, to produce a given amount of light than the older style. So far only two of these lamps have been ordered and put up here. One at McCoys’s bank corner and the other at the “point” across the river, just west of the bridge. Notwithstanding the unpropitions appearance of the weather the usual congregation attended the Stanley meeting last night More young men were there than have been heretofore. Uncle Alf McCoy has shown much interest. The “sheep skin band’’ added much to the attraction and noise. Come again boys, and keep coming. Uncle Alf has brought the temperance workers under obligations by his willing gifts of money to help on the good work. Short talks were made by Revs. Middleton, Fritts and Shepherd; after which Mr. Stanley looked at the subject from a business standpoint. Quite a number donned the blue ribbon. Meeting at the M. E. church again tonight.

Troxell and Miss Lillie who will remain until Monday, or longer. While the local freight was doing some switching this morning, the train men found two young boys, that loaf about the depot a great deal, in one of the cars filling their pockets and caps with candy. One of them got away, but the other whose name is Blake, was caught. Agent Beam has sworn out an affidavit against and an example will probably be made of the young man. He bad a hearing this afternoon, and was bound over to the January term of the circuit court. He is about 14 years old. The M. E. church was filled lecture room and auditorium last night, and Mr. Stanley gave • a strong address. Eighty two signed the pledge many of them being young men. Tomorrow at 2:30 p. m. he will give a talk to men only, ar the Presbyterian church. Al night there will be temperance meetings at the M. E. and Presbyterian churches and Mr. Stanley will address both audiences, crther speakers will also speak. The meetings next week will be at the Presbyterian chuch. F. Ross Born, who assists W. H. Beam at the depot, had a finger split’ open yesterday afternoon. He was helping unload an anvil from a car, and in some manner the third finger of Ins left hand, was caught in between the anvil and the iron track which the car door runs on. The fingelr was cut clear through and laid open right beside the bone. Dr. Berkley who dressed and sewed up the wound thought the finger could be saved, but it may have to be amputated. years ago, says an exchange, 250 bushels of wheat constituted a car load, and if anyone loaded in excess of that double rates were charged and the shippers held responsible. At present shippers are leading 1,'400 bushels of wheat and no objection is made. Had there been national or state ownership of railroads during these 30 years, it is probable that 250 bushels would still make a car load, and the freight rate be high accordingly. The experience of other counties shows that very slow progress is made in developing of railroad transportation facilities, either of freight or passengers, when the government controls all the railroads. The experiment of voting by a machine was thoroughly tried in the city of Rochester, New York, and it worked to the entire satisfaction of everybody, if reports are true. The machines were used in every voting place and the complete result in the city was announced just 37 minutes after the polls closed. The voting is entirely secret and at any time the condition of the vote may be seen. The tickets are printed in different colors, with the party name at the top of each. Opposite the name of each candidate is a knob. To vote for a candidate the voter

Your Doctor Knows Your doctor knows all about foods and medicines. The next time you see him, just ask him what he thinks of Scon’s Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. We are willing to trust in his answer. For twenty-five years doctors have prescribe our Emulsion for paleness, weakness, nervous exhaustion, and for all diseases that cause loss in flesh. > Its creamy color and its pleasant taste make it especially useful for thin and delicate children. No other preparation of codliver oil is like it. Don’t lose time and risk your health by taking something unknown and untried. Keep in mind that SCOTT’S EMULSION has stood the test for a quarter of a century. foe. and oo; all drugght*. SCOTT 8t BOWNE, Chemiati, New York.
