The bill admitting Arizona to statehooed has passed the house. AR TR TW AR Every man has three temperaments; the one he has, the one he shows, and the one he thinks he has.—Alphonse Karr. P T O RO The South Bend Times takes no stock in the “buncombe” about Frank Smith robbing the South Bend National bank, BRI TP MR AT A David Stoag,-:mﬁa*;enr Indianapolis, who utilized his eellar for a bank vault, is short SIO,OOO in gold. Thieves relieved him of it. : o — The state treusu;);_ of | i\lichignn is ~empty and the state government is - compelled at present to borrow money ~with which.to meet currentobligations. Col. Charles A. Zollinger, of Fort Wayne, is dead. He was an old vet- . eran and popular with the soldiers of the state. He was a member of the 88th Indiana regiment. T B R L T An organi-z;{ﬁ(;im_swﬂgen perfected in a number of eastern states, including Indiana, to work for the nomina- | tion of ex-President Harrison as the ‘ republican standard bearer in 1896. 1 R —— The Prendergast trial is still in progress, and a hard fight is being made [ by the defense for the assassin’s life | on the grounds of insanity. Dut from i indications now it is going to be prov- | en that the assassin is responsible for his crime. 3 Indiana, in proportion to population, is unsurpassed by any western state in the number of public libraries and the quality of the books contained in them. Taking everything into consideration where is there a better state to live in than our own commonwealth. R — Sir Benjamin Richardson, an eminent London physician, gives it as his

opinion that bieyeling, long persisted in, will inevitably injure the spine, the lungs and the circulation of the blood. There are eminent authorities, however, who hold to just the contrary of this view. e MecDßride & Fiteh, grocers of Goshen, value of their stock. A plethoric ledger and hard times are a combination that downs the best of firms. A. D. Dunbar, aged about 40 years, was found frozen to death near the banks of the St. Joseph river, six and ! & half miles north of Mishawaka, a few days ago. He had been ins:mel for many years and was an inmate of i the county asylum, from where he has | escaped. The deceased had relatives l in South Bend who looked after his | burial. [ DR SR B ISR R AT Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, ! says: “Gold is only valuable because | it is rare, not nearly so useful as iron, ; which is the real precious metal, alu- ; minum is too soft. It is light, but ; lacks sl‘rengt,h. The metal of the fu- | ture is nickel steel, which cmn'hinvs; strength with pliability, Gold is xmti worth as much as lead in cmnnm-cc,l and brass is more than worth its|

weight in gold.” ‘ AR SN AR ST AR IR “People who are stricken with the lagrippe,” says a physician, “can not be too careful about giving the attack prompt attention, as the testimony of manv physicians of my acquaintance, as well as my own personal experience, is that the form in which the Russian Tnfluenza comes tl iis year, develops, if not checked at the outset, in nine cases out of ten into pneumonia, and when the patient is down with pneumonia the chances are against recovery. Do not let the grip rur on forseveral days | under the impression that it is only a ’ cold in the head. ‘A stitch in time saves nine. ! An exchange says that it is a great | deal easier for the ordinary citizen to have a loss in the mails traced than he [ or she may imagine. It is the custom | of uninformed persons who lose money f or other valuables to simply sigh and | pocket the loss or go to the postoflice I and make a complaint. It is much f better and speedier to send the com- % plaint to the first or fourth astistant| postmaster-general, Washiugton, D. C. } Then the complaint is immediately in ; the hands of the postoflice inspector in ; the division where the loss occnrred.l In making complaints about losses the character of the valuables should be i described, the party to whom it is ad- | dressed named and the place and lmurl‘ when the letter or package was posted ' ghould be given.

It was sought by election oflicers to get pay under the eight hour law. T | A gang of eight desperadoes was | captured near Hartford City, Tuesday, | after a hard fight by the marshal and {his posse.

The discolored flesh assumed its normal color down to the‘ ankle, but the foot remained dead, ’mul\ing amputation necessary. This is said to be the first case of this kind t known in this part of the country.— ‘ Ligonier Banner, ‘ e ] i | This is a personal request of the edi- l‘ { tor of the Rochester Sentinel, and con|t.uins much good common sonse:lj | “When the editor of this paper dies hu; l wants no band to “dirge” his funeral | | procession to the cemetery and “quick- ] \S(,(‘p" back with an air equivalent to | “ah, there; stay there,” He wants his | gentlemen relatives and friends to re--\nmvu their hats during the singing of | the choir and the minister’s brief re- ,) \ marks at the funeral.

With | the assurance that these instructions will be observed death is shorn of | many of its terrors.” | n his forecasts on wie ganaary weather, Rev. Irl Hicks has this to say as to the first few days of the month: At the opening of the new year a reactionary storm wave will have just expended itself in western regions, and | a cold wave with rising barometer will be pressing eastward behind the storms.
