A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

P. S. WESTFALL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

TERRE HAUTB, MAY 3,1879

LAOKR beer is down to three oenta the glass in Cincinnati, St. Louis and Prqyidence.

THE next world's lair is to be held at New York in 188J. It will be the biggest thing yet. ___________

THE Cincinnati Sseogerfest in June is to have an orchestra of 180 players and a chorus of 2,000 singers.

THE United States consumes annually 12,000,000 worth of quinine, and of opium a little less than $1,000,000 worth.

THE experiments of lighting the Cap itol at Washington with electric light will soon be tested. The lamps are now being put in for the purpose.

THE Chicago Journal says the two shots fired at Booth the other night are worth 1,000,000 double sheet posters and a column advertisement in each paper of the country.

THE Des Moines Register has discovered that Kate Claxton, who borrows a baby in each town where she plays the "Double Marriage," won't have to borrow one much longer!

DURING the past winter, Indianapolis packed more hogs than any other city in the country except Chicago, but Chicago packed more than all the other leading cities combined.

IN November of the present year will occur the eighteenth centenary of the destruction of Pompeii aud Herculaneum. Arrangemonts are being made made in Italy to celebrate the event in a becoming manner.

CREMATION is on the decline. In England the medical fraternity opposed and discouraged it, and ndw we hear that the celebrated crematory at Washington, Pa., and the only one in the United States, has been converted into a factory for canning fruit.

IT is astonishing how long the play of the "Black Crook" retains its popularity. It is now running at Nlblo's, New York, where it was tlrst introduced, and the crowds are so dense that the police are obliged to interfere occasionally and stop the sale of tickets.

JOHN A. Dix put on record a paragraph to be added to the "last words" of great men. The life of this pure, patriotic and unselfish man closed with these noble Christian words: "I believe in God. I have entire faith in my Redeemer. I am at enmity with no man."

FOR the last three months the circulation of the Indianapolis Evening News has averaged 10,815 copies per day and has not fallen below 10,000 for any day during the period named. This is a prosperous showing and speaks well for the enterprise with which the paper is conducted.

SENATOR PENDLETON'S idea of giving tlie Cabinet officers seats in Congress, and requiring them to attend on stated days, and answer questions put to them, is worth atrial. It might lead to supplying Congress with desired information more directly and promptly than can be done by the present system.

SENATOR LOCJAN will receive the commendation of all intelligent people for refusing to fight a duel with Senator Lo^e, of Alabama. The code may still be popular in the South, but the public sentiment of the East, North and West is decidedly against it. That is one of relics of barbarism which we abandoned some years ago.

Win TEI.AW RKID is doing a laudable work in sending -boy* from the slums of New York to the West where they are distributed among farmers. He has within a short time sent nearly 100 hundred of such boys to the homes of western farmers. Charitable citizens of New York have furnished the requisite means for carrying out the work.

AN inquiry into presidential vetoes shows that there have been ninety-three in all, beginning with Washington who exercised this power twice. The greatest number of vetoe* were made by Johnson and Grant, the former scoring 17 and the latter 20. Johnson's vetoes •were all over-ruled but two, while of Grant's, all were sustained but two.

THE President's emphatic veto of the army appropriation .bill, with Its political riders, prove* a bombshell in the Democratic camp. It is the general opinion that they went too far and will be compdlled to yie!d in the end, which -will place them in an unfortunate attitude before the country. Meantime the leaders are in a quandary to decide what course it is best to pursue, and no small difference of opinion prevails among them.

THE increase in the use of intoxicating liquors in Great Britain is appalling. A London correspondent shows that in 1858 ths outlay for this purpose was about $435,000,000, while for the year 1S78 it was in round numbers |700,000,000. He also shows that the English workingman receives about fifty per cent lees wages than the American, and is taxed abaut three times as heavily for the support of government. Perhaps low wages and high taxes have something to do with the increase of intemperance.

THE Talmage trial, in Brooklyn, which is remarkable in this, that there isn't a woman mixed up in it, is drawing to a olose. A preacher's trial without a woman mu9t necessarily be a flat failure. A witness testified the other day that the renowned reverend had told six lies. He was recalled and modified his statement by saying that he intended to say "six falsehoods." In this farcical trial a very damaging bit of evidence was considered rendered quite harmless by this explanation.

A GENTLEMAN whose business requires him to travel widely throughout the Western and Southern States and who has recently returned from an extended trip through the South, reports that there is much violence and bloodshed in that section of the country. Nor is this violence confined to the killing of negroes, but extends to all classes of citizens. It is the universal practice for men to go abroad armed with revolvers, and upon the smallest provocation a fatal collision often occurs. There seems to be no just conception of the value of human life, and bloody quarrels arise out of the most trivial differences. A1 together, the South is not at present an attractive spot to lovers of peace and good order.

THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS. Many thoughtful and intelligent men believe that the sounds of reviving industry which are heard in every part of the land give premise of a season of prosperity such as this country has never before witnessed. The outlook is certainly very encouraging. Our country has not yet approximated its complete development. The great states and territorities of the West are but beginning to be settled, the Southern states are sparsely inhabited, while even in the Eastern and Middle states there is room for a large increase of population. Our soil Is strong and fertile,'our climate healthful, and our mines are stored with precious metals which have as yet scarcely been touched. The

United States has now but about forty

of inhabitants it is capable of

•millions

supporting two hundred millions. The country is in the vigor of its youth. England, it would seem, has passed the zenith of her glory and is falling into decay. The volume of her exported goods has been falling off for several years past in a rapidly increasing ratio. She can no longer hold her own against American manufactures. The depreciation in coal, iron and manufactures of various kinds has produced almost incredible losses. Mills and factories are closing daily and the country is filled with gloom and discouragement. The condition of affairs in Germany is hardly better. Heuce a prodigious immigration to ourshores may be expected in the near future. Whether this influx of foreigners will be a blessing or a curse to us will depend a good deal on the wisdom with which our political affairs are conducted. But In an Industrial point of view the effect cannot be doubted. Our resources will be rapidly developed and the wealth of the nation incredibly augmented. It is easy to foresee that the next twenty years of our national existence will be a period of marked activity and importance.

THE COLORED REFUGEES. The flight of colored people from the South still continues, and it is said the banks of the Mississippi are lined with them, waiting an opportunity to get away. They seem to regard Kansas as the land of Canaan, where each of them may hope in time to become the owner of a "patch of ground" and a home. This it seems is more than they could ever expect in their old home. The stories they tell show clearly enough that terrible advantage has been taken of their ignorance and helplessness by their former masters. It is to escape political and industrial oppression that they are fleeing from the Sonth. Though they experience great annoyance aud deprivation from lack of means wherewith to pay the expenses of their journey, they do not oomplain or intimate a desire to g* back again. They say they only want a chance "to work fair and square" and will soon learn the ways of the new country into which they have come. It is remarked of them that most of their numbers consist of young men and women in the vigor of health, with large families of little ones. They are represented to be in good spirits, notwithstanding their present difficulties and are sanguine of ultimate success. It is said the colored people who have lived for some time in Kansas give the refugees a hearty welcome, and are willing to share their last earnings with them. Wyandotte, the place where most of them first land, is a suburb of Kansas City, on the Kansas aide of the river. They refuse to atop on the Mis-1 souri side. A correspondent writing

incidents of our national history.

OUT WEST.

A correspondent writing from Dodge City, Kansas, gives some useful hints to those intending to migrate. He says the emigration to the West is greater this spring than ever before and promises to be still greater in the fall. Many are arriving entirely without means, and such will have to receive outside assistance or endure severe suffering. He says that BO one should think of going to Kansas without sufficient-means to keep himself and family at least one year, as the land is all wild and must be broken and tamed before a crop can be raised. Freights are so high that it does not pay to ship agricultural implements or^any old trumpery, but it will pay well to ship goods In first-rate boxes, the lumber of which will be very useful and can only be bought there at very high prices. Many of the people live in "dug-outs," which are made by digging in the ground a few feet, building up the sides with sod and covering with boards. A cash outlay of $40 will build one 14 by 20 feet, if the party does the work himself. Flour and beef are cheaper than in the east, but all other articles are higher. It is a good stock country, but good stock is scarce, Texas cattle and ponies prevailing. The land is rich, the climate fine, and, to a man of some little means, the prospect is excellent. The land is being taken up so fast, says the writer, that a man cannot count on writing back home to a friend that he can get a location within miles of him for so great is the rush that the land is all likely to be taken up for miles ahead before his friend can get there. It is more than likely that many of these people will wish themselves back to the old home again before they get comfortably situated, and no one ought to imigrate westward without having very reliable information as to what he can do to make a living when he gets there. There is danger of thQ business being badly overdone.

THE church gbing people of New York city certainly have a variety of mental and spiritual food set before them on each passing Sunday. We learn from the New York Sun, that on last Sunday "House Hunting" was the timely theme

KNIGHTS OF HONOR. Aid to Widows and Orphans.

For the information of the public we have been requested to publish the following official report of the work, and aid extended to widows and orphans by the Knights of Honor, in the United States since the firat of July, 1878. We understand this Order is organized and managed on sound business principles, and is now probably increasing its membership faster than any similar order in the world. There are three several Lodges, officered by our best citizens, now in this eity, also a Lodge of Knights and Ladies, into which the wives of members are admitted all of them in a flourishing condition:

SUPREME LODGE KNIGHTS OF HONOR.") OFFICE OF SUPREME DICTATOR. BOSTON, Mass., April 10,1879. To AU Grand and Subordinate Lodges

Knights of Honor, Greeting It is with great satisfaction that the Supreme Officers submit the following statement relative to the Widows' and Orphans' Benefit Fund. It is well known that a large number of deaths ocourred in our ranks from yellow fever during the past year. Aside from this cause we suffered an unusually heavy death rate during the Summer months. Up to July, 1878, our deaths bad never numbered over twenty-one in any month. In July the number of deaths wad 30 In Aug., yellow fever, 83, other oausts.....2l In Sept., yellow fever, 110, other eauseB„...30 In Oct., yellow fever, 42, other causes.....88 In Nov., yellow fever, 8, other cau»es.....24 vTotal.yellow fever, 193, other causes..143

Making the total deaths from all causes In the period of five months, three hundred and thirty-six, and requiring the sum of $670,000 to meet the calls apou the W. & O. B. Fund,—an amount greater than had been disbursed from this fund from the beginning of the Order, five years previous.

To meet this extraordinary demand, two assessments were laid in November, two in December, three in February and two in March. Muoh trouble was experienced by the Supreme Officers in the deaths in consecutive order Jjy reason of the impossibility, in lodges disorganized by yellow fever, of making reports of deaths until long after they occurred. It was not for want of sufficient evidence of the death, but officers of the lodges were dead or scattered, and no one authorized to make the official report.

These assessments have been cheerfully met, and orders on the Benefit Fund have now been issued upon all deaths up to January 24th, 1879, and the assessments now in process of collection will pav all deaths to March 1st.

Since* October 1st, 1878, orders have been issued on the W. AO. B. Fund for the following amounts: In October, 1878 $ 76,000

November, 1878 60,000 December, 1878 100,000 January, 1879 90,000 February, 1879. 140,000 March, 1879 154,000 And in April to date 59,000

'I 1679,000

The first death in the Order from yellow fever occurred August 12th, and the order for the benefit upon the same was drawn October 10th. The last death from this cause took place November 20th, and the order for the benefit on the same was signed March 21st orders upon all other deaths by yellow fever were issued between these dates.

With a total loss more than double that of any other like beneficiary society, we have paid in full every,benefit caused by the epidemic, and proved to the world the ability of our organization to successfully meet the severest trial. This work has been done with hardly more than the usual number of suspensions, and though our growth was temporarily checked by the extraordinary demand upon its resources, a rapid increase is now taking place all over the country, and we now number at least fifty thousand members.

These events have proved the wisdom of our system of one general jurisdiction for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund, and the efficiency of our laws for the government of the Order. No extrajudicial measures have been necessary to meet the emergency, 'and all consultation required between the Supreme Offi cers has been carried on by letter.

Aside from the payment of death benefits, about #15,000 was contributed voluntarily for the relief of the living, who were in want and suffering by reason of the epidemic.

In this record every Knight of Honor may take a just pride. It places us in the front rank as a great benevolent and business institution, ana secures a fu ture of untold usefulness for our beloved Order. Fraternally, in O. M. A,.

Ul^mMACARDfr^^r The organ of St. Stephen's church, from oue cause or another, had become very much out of repair or tune. The task of repairing and re-tuning was committed to Mr. Albert J. Kissner. He was compelled to take the instrument completely to pieces, in order to examine aud return each separate pipe,'of which there are eleven different seta, and place them all in harmony with each other. All this has been most successfully accomplished, and we are pleased to have this opportunity of bearing testimony to the skill and ability with which it was done by Mr. Kissner.

At the head of the trade—far in advance of all competition, and that WE, and WE ALONE, are entitled t« the credit of having broken the back of high prises and placed Clothing and Furnishing Goods of the best quality within the reach of all. No Man, Boy or Child in want of Clothing should spend one cent of their money until they have visited our store. Look over our stock. Seeing is believing.

We don't clainf to perform any miracles in the way of offering prices at less than they can be manufacturen for, but what we DO propose is this, that no man with the cash in hand need pay the price heretofore asked before we pitched our tent in yonr midst. A certain store (no name need be mentioned) who had things pretty well his own way, seemed to take advantage of his situation, and led people to suppose that they bad to pay $25.00 for a ready made suit, and 140, $42, and even aa high as $45 for an ordinary suit made to his meaaure, and his late actions re-' mind one of a "canine whose tail has been trodden on."

Our price# are so low that sometimes our customers doubt whether the quality can be the same as they have seen elsewhere marked higher. We are willing to sell at the smallest margin possible. Hence, we offer our customers, the best value for their money.
