The Republicans of Indiana Save lost four holdover state senators by death aod the leaders are bow concerned over the condition of one other holdover Senator, Jamee Gray of Evansville elected to the distrir t composed of Vanderburg, Pike and Warriok. He is Mffennv from Bright’s disease and there are grave doubts of his reoovery. The holdovers that have died are T. J. Gibson of the district composed of Perry, Crawford and Spencer; Benjamin Starr of Wayne county; A. M. Burns of St. .Jorenh county and Charles A, JieHaven of Howard and Miami. Jf it had not been for these deaths the republicans would have had sixteen holdovers. The four deaths reduce to twelve and if Senator Gray does not recover the number will be only eleven. The democrats have nine ho’dovers none having died. The deaths among the republican senators naturally increase the democratic hope of controlling the next senate.

James McDonald Acquitted.

The trial of James McDonald at Bedford for the murder cf Sarah Bohsffer, has resulted in his aoqpiitta’l 11" is a low and weak sinded creature, whom the state Relieved to h <ve committed the Murder while attempting an asjault. There was a strong chain of evidence, strong enough it is said, to have fully convinced the Jiri’s father, two brothers, and an ancle that he whs guilty, but the jury thought otherwise, and ne was acquitted. A circumstance ihat no doubt contributed greatly to hie H'-quittal was a positive declaration on the part of one of his attorneys, that he knew who aommi’ted the crime, and could produce the evidence before a jrand jury, and have him indicted. Bbat the 1 awyer has any such injbraiation we are but little disposal to believe. But if he really wade such a claim as h ruse to Jfcee his client, knowing he hat no gpood gr uuds upon which to base is a criminal at heart, little 1 any less wicked than the man ■who committed the murder, and wouid remove no ffljre than justice sfrremhed a rope himself.

OBITUARY.

Mary Emma Eldridge whh born in Barkley township, Jasper County, Indiana, March .8. 1884. Died May 8, 1904, aged 20 sears and I months Emma, as she was familiarly known in the home, was a twin sister, the twin brother still surviving her. When only a little more than 4 months old, the babe was taken with whooping cough. This disease affected seriously the nervous system, leaving the child perfectly- helpless ever since. Everything that parental love and the best medical skill of the country could devise, was done for the relief of the child, but without avail. Through all these yean she has been the object of tender solicitude and care, binding the hearts of loved ones even closer to her than is the experience under ordinary conditions. While the

u-u 1 powers of movement and si e oh were denied her in ner afflioti >u her power-* of conception and understanding were retained i. nor ml c ondition. Thus she w.i- enabl, d, even in the earlier years of her childhood, to realiz * th »t she was dsorived of many of the privil -t/ —< H'» ’ social joys of other c'li'drec. Tnis for a ‘ime was a s uroe of gri f to her, but in recent yea-s she became perfectly resigned and reconciled t o her condition. Her inteHigeno? and thoughtful judges nt w e finely Hlu-drir**d in n-ak'i ig i’. pt sin to h -r p ire its that sh ■ t'l inglit i' wo il l be better f r h-rtotik** her departure before they should b J called to the netter world; Though A great sufferer during much f her life, her final siokuees whs of brief duration, at d the end peaceful and full of blessed a suran-e. She is not dead—the child of our affection But gone unto that school Where she no longer needs our poor protection, And Christ Himself doth rule. Not as a child shall we again behold her, For when with raptures wild In our embraces we again enfold her She will not be a child. But a fair maiden, in her Father’s mansion. Clothed with celestial grace; And beautiful with all the soul’s expansion Shall we behold her face. She is survived by m ther, three brrthe'S and two sister* Interm- tin th* family cem-tery in PulhhUi ''oiiuty Funeral a-iv't***- conducted bv Rev. W H Fertiek, pastor of M. E. church

Rev. Drake At St. Louis.

Rev. T. F. Drake, now of Terre Haute, but formerly pastor of Rensselaer M. E. church, has been down to see the World’s Fair, and sends the following interesting letter to the Crown Point Star: “The World’s Fair is great, I will not attempt to describe ir, for want of space, but advise every body to go and see it. As some of the exhibits are not yet ready for inspection, it may be better to delay your v isit until a few weeks later; however there is now enough on exhibition to make it the largest attraction ever shown for fifty cents There has been some reports that the St. Louis people were robbing the visitors; I did not find it so; it is there as everywhere else, you pay according to the service rendered. The Indiana state building is a very restful headquarters for Hoosiers. There are no exhibits in the building excdpt some of the literary productions of her authors. I heard one lady Siy “I am glad this building is not filled up wi;h seeds and grasses!” In the Mining building there is a quaint old castle built of Indiana block coat When in this building don't fail to see the great iro • statue of Vulcan put up by a company from Birmingham, Ala. It is 52 feet high and weighs 120,000 pounds. ' The Government .display is very fine, there you can see them manufacture the dangerous rifle cart ridge filled with flax seed! Here •i large section of a battle ship is a gre t curiosity to “land lubbers ” The skeleton of a great whale 78 ft et long, whose skull weighed three tons is nicely mounted, and along beside it is a life-size reproduction of the animal The Japanese exhibit is thought by many to be the finest made by any foreign country. The Italian disp ay of statuary is probably the finest that ever was made at an American fair. The steel tower for the Wireless Telegraphy station is completed and the apparatus is being installed., The station is to be a permanent one, the U. S. government is paying part of the expense of putting up this station 1 Similar stations will be erected at Chicago, New York and San Francisco.

There is one thing in which St. Louis will not excel Chicago. They have the same Ferris Wheel,' that I rode in at the Columbian Exposition. Among the* attractions for vis itors outside of the Fair grounds, will be Shaw’s Gardens, containing 45 acres of choice botanical specimens, gathered from all the world. Henry Shaw the founder was born in England in 18.00 and died in 1882; he left an endow ment of $1,343,333, to keep the gardens up for 99 years, when they become the property of the Park A> sociation.

FRUIT AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE

Nature Provides its own remedies which, if used judiciously, insure perfect health at all times

Aside from the pleasure of eating seasonable fruits before beginning the first meal of the day, this custom has undoubtedly arisen from the well known fact that nearly all fruit and more particularly plums and PRUNES contain natural laxative principles which act directly on the stomach and bowels. Constipation, that dread and troublesome complaint which is undoubtedly the basic cause of nine-tenths of the dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness,etc., so prevalent among our people to-day, and, which if neglected, surely leads to more complicated and serious organic diseases, can surely be prevented, and when not too far advanced, can be absolutely cured by the judicious use of the modern laxative and cathartic California Prune Wafers. They are not a patent medicine in the ordinary sense of the word, being compounded from fresh California Prunes, which every intelligent person knows is trulynature’s laxative. ▲ dainty little wafer, always the same,
