The Knox county grand jury failed to return any indictments in the case after thorough investigation.

Tho local Lodge of Elks will give an entertainment at Bindley hall next Tuesday evening for the benefit of tbe unemployed, the entire proceeds of which will be turned over to the Citizens' Relief committee. An exoellent programme has been arranged, including an address by Rev. J. D. Stanley, songs by the Davis brothers, J. B. Aikmau and Jack Paige, recitations by Miss Louise Filbeok and Will Hamilton, and a banjo solo by Master Bob Heinl. The mock initiation that concludes the performance will be ludicrously funny, and altogether overy person attending will spend an enjoyable evening. There should be a big crowd.

Messrs. T. P. Sparks Son, of *Vaoo, Texas, were in the city yesterday and made a big purchase of carriages and buggies of the Terro Haute Carriage and Buggy Co. It is quite a tribute to Terre Haute enterprise that purchasers should come such a distance to buy these goods. But such is the character and excellence of their work, that it tinds a market in almost every state and territory of the union. Their work is growing in popularity with our home people, and every year shows an increasing patronage in this community, to whose prosperity such an enterprise contributes so greatly. They use nothing out the very best materials and employ the most artistic workmen, hence their success.

Old Christmas Cheer.

When tbe grim boar's Lead frowned on high. Crested with bays and rosemaaft hard by Plum porridge stood and Christmas pie. Nor failed olil Scotland to produce At such high tide her savory goose. —Marm ionNext in importance to the boar's head as a Christmas dish came the peacock. To prepare Argus for the table, says an English chronicler, was no slight care. -The first step was to take off the skin without loss or injury to the plumage. After being roasted and then "partially cooled," it was again enveloped in its coat of feathers, and its beak was gilded. "In guise of naturalness" it now appeared on the table. Abundance of spices and much store of sweet herbs and basting with yolk of eggs and rich gravy combined to make it "a lordly dish." It was served by lady guests, precedence being given to those most distinguished for youth and beauty.

It was borne to the banquet hall by one of the "fayre maydens" and to the sound of music. Other lady guests followed in procession. The master of the house or his most distinguished guest received it.

Upon very marked occasions of festivity the bird was served in a wonderful Christmas pie. At one end his plumed crest waved above the crust, at the opposite, unfolded in all its glory, was the spread tail. Here, in the most approved fashion of the period, knights err '.ut took oath of fealty to lovely women in distress.

Hence, it is added, Justice Shallow desired to take oath "by cock and pie."— Harper's Bazar.

Hessian Christmas txre.

The Hessians contend that only those whose consciences are clean can bear the animals talk, and they tell this story in confirmation of the assertion. One Christ-, mas eve a farm servant went to confession by way of preparation for the sacrament. The church was some distance off, so that when he reached home it was late, and to avoid disturbing bis master he went to bed in a hay loft over the barn. Underneath was a stall in which was a pair of oxen. Tbe man fell asleep, but was soon awakened by the sound of voices. Listening, he heard pne say to another, "Let us blow out this fellows light of life." "No," was the reply. "HE has been to confession today and tomorrow will go to the Lord's table. We cannot do it." "But he bas heard us and will repeat what we have said." "No matter. Be quiet and let us pray. The time will soon be gone in which we have the power to do so."

Gathering courage, the man crept to the ladder, and looking down saw the oxen on their knees making the sign of the cross with their right forelegs.—Exchange.

Knighting the I#oin of Beef.

The follies of the rich and noble took many manifestations in olden times, some of which were almost childish in their simplicity. Such was the scene which has been made the subject of several paintings, the "Knighting of the Loin of Beef." As tbe Btory is told among the narrators of this kind of literary narrative, Charles II was an enormous eater and was particularly fond of a well roasted loin of beef. One Christmas day there was brought into the royal presence a loin

tions that, in ecstacy at the prospect of the feast before him, the king, in a frolicsome mood, resolved to confer the order of knighthood on the roast, so drew his sword and dubbed the loin sirloin. The story is far from bad and illustrates the cheerful nonsense that in those days passed for wit and humor but, unfortunately for its truth, this particular cut of beef was called the sirloin long before Charles II was born and received its name, not from its transcendent excellence, but from its position in the living animal.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Catarrh in Colorado.

I used Ely's Cream Balm for dry catarrh. It proved a oure—B. F. M. Weeks, Denver.

Ely's Cream Balm is especially adapted as a remedy for catarrh which is aggravated by alkaline dust and dry winds —W. A. Hover, Druggist, Deuver.

I can recommend Ely's Cream Balm to all sufferers from dry catarrh from mnonal experience.—Michael Herr, Pharmacist, Denver

Ely's Cream Balm haa cured many cases of catarrh. It is In constant demand.—Geo. W. Hoyt, Pharmacist, Cheyenne, Wyo.

TESTIMONIALS.

I have never seen anything act so promptly as Phenyo-Caffein In sick and nervous Headache. Many oases have been cured and not any failures reported. H. L. Fairer, Belle Voir, N. C.

For years I have been a terrible sufferer from headache some six months ago my physician prescribed PhenyoCafiein, and since then, by their use, I have not had a severe headache, being able to stop them completely in their incipieucy. J. H.Stannard, Concord, N, H.

You hit the nail on tbe head when you put Phenyo-Caffein on the market. They are the best thing out for headache, E. P. Jones, M. D., Orleans, Mass.

One year ago I was one of the greatest sufferers from sick and nervous headache ever knew. I no more have trouble with sick headache and seldom have even a slight headache. I attribute the great change to your Phenyo -Caffein, a remedy I could not do without if it cost $5 a box. I have tried a doxen or more medicines (warranted to cure) without their even helping me. I can not praise your valuable preparation enough. Frank S. Schmitt, Seymour, Indiana.
