Never oppose the opinion of «i man who thinks himself a saint. Corn at 50 cents a bushel just about evens up the low price of wheat. The republican majority in Maine is the largest it has been for twenty years. In 1892 it was but 14,000. Breathing purifies the blood. The oxygen of the air combines with the carbon of the blood, forming carbonic acid. The editorial punster is turning his attention to Lew Wanner. We will have to stand it for about live weeks w>t.

There is but one republican in the Arkansas legislature and but one democrat in the newly elected senate of Maine. Thomas Edison, the inventor, never carried a watch in his life. The “wizard” is always too busy to take any note of time. Some men get the credit of being really honest when the truth is they are afraid to be dishonest. They have no conscientiousness in the matter. An exchange says that a Chicago astronomer thinks he has discovered grass near a great crater on the moon. Somebody will see mosquitoes there, next thing you know. It is announced that Vice-President Stevenson will make a number of speeches in this state during the campaign. Indiana will be the Held of a hard-fought battle this year. The Truth contradicts the report that Col. Conn will remove from Elkhart to Washington. He will have large interests in Washington but will retain his residence at Elkhart. Times are better and business generally is improving. There is no mistake about this, but there is a certain class of republican newspapers which seem unwilling to “own the corn.” Thirty-two years ago last Saturday, Sept. 22, an event which marked one of the greatest epochs in history took place—that of President Lincoln’s proclamation emancipating the slaves. A Mr. Oglesby has sued the New Albany Tribune for libel. The amount of the damage done is worth about 125,000, Mr. Oglesby thinks. Mr. Oglesby must be a rare piece of furniture. The postoilice department has changed the name of Appomattox Court House, Virginia, to “Surrender.” The people of that state are indignant over the change. 'The new name is a rather rough, coarse application. There are 369,000 members of the Grand Army of the Republic. Most of the members are, as a matter of course, advanced in years, and will ere long answer the last, summons. This now great order will within the next quarter of a century become almost extinct. Dr. Von Kienze, a noted German physician, believes that cheese is one of the most indigestible things that can be taken into the stomach. He arrived at this conclusion after a series of careful experiments. He found that cheese, varying with the varieties, requires from eight to ten hours for digestion. It. is said that the State board of health has ordered official examinations of milk sold by dealers through out the State. In some quarters the examiners have found many varieties of impurities in milk, but this condition has existed principally in larger cities.

The search for the Kessler train robbers has finally been abandoned. It has been over a year since the robbery was committed. Until a month ago the best detectives in the country worked incessantly on the ease, but they say that it is useless to prosecute the search any further. They claim it to be the most stubborn case they ever had anything to do with. It is rather amusing to witness certain democratic newspapers and certain democratic orators “point with pride” to the success attending the manufacture of tin plate in the United States during these democratic times. A short, time back, under the McKinley law, such a thing as making a success of tin plate manufacturing in this country was out of the question, you know.

1 The democrats of Indiana opened the campaign simultaneously in every county in the state Saturday, Sept. 22. The occasion was called “Democratic Day.” Charley Landis, editor of the Delphi Journal, will, it is said, fill Hon. W. D. Owen’s speaking appointments throughout the state. Mr. Owen, on account of illness, is unable to take an active part in the campaign. The South Bend Tribune continues to “reiterate” that there are many democrats in St. Sosepli county who think Congressman Conn ought to resign. The South Bend Tinies, on the

other hand, maintains that there is no truth in the statement. - Hon. Lucius Hubbard, of South 1 Bend, republican candidate for judge 1 of this circuit, has returned with his family from a trip of several weeks in 1 various parts of Europe. One of Mr. ’ Hubbard’s sons, Arthur, remained in 1 Berlin, Germany, where he will spend 1 a year at a university. The ages attained by various animals are as follows: Whale, 300; elephant, 400; swan, 300; tortoise, 100; eagle, 100; raven, 100; camel, 100; lion, 70; porpoise, 30; horse, 30; bear, 20; cow, 20; deer, 20; swine, 20; cat, 15; fox, 15; dog, 14; sheep, 10; rabbit, 7; squirrel, 7. Wind is caused by the temperature . of different localities being unequal, consequently the air at some places is lighter than it is at others; the lighter air is forced upward by the heavier air, which, when it flows in, partakes of a circular motion which we call wind. If a great difference in tem- ■ perature exists, a sudden change of air takes place and forms a whirlwind, hurricane or tornado. The “White Caps” of this state, which were supposed to have been effectually squelched about two years ago, are now believed to be as strong and well organized ns tU; were. It is said that the membership of this ’ organization is made up of men whose names, if made public, would astonish the communities in which they reside. Alen of prominence are said to be active members of the organization. The decision recently made by the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, forbidding the publication of the ritual in languages other than English is causing bad feeling among the German K. of P.’s who have heretofore used rituals printed in German. German lodges are disbanding and surrendering their charters. Koerner ; Lodge No. 6, of Indianapolis, with a membership of 250, is among the number. It is believed, however, that a great portion of the German members ' will join other K. of P. lodges. . The Civic Federation has been or- . ganized in Chicago for the purpose of making a systematic light on the gambling interests of the city. This organization will try a little moral suasion, and if it can not bring the proprietors of gambling houses to see the wickedness of their ways it proposes to make the business of the professional gambler so unprofitable that no one will care to engage in it. This movement is a worthy one and deserves success, but it is to be hoped that its promoters will use fairness and consistency and fight not only the gambling houses but every institution that partakes of the nature of gambling. This probably would include the pool rooms and a number <>f other places where “high-toned” people do their gambling.

Alcohol, a scientific writer says, is not necessary to the life or comfort of the human system. One proof of this | lies in the fact that the stomach re- I fuses to digest it. It enters the blood : unchanged. Its effect upon that delicate, intricate and sensitive net-work of cells and telegraphic wires—the nervous system—is remarkable. In the first stage of drinking, the habit stage, it abnormally excites, and innumerable pleasant emotions follow its moderate use. In the second stage, when the system begins to demand the stimulant, upon which it has been taught to rely, its effect is to temporarily paralyze and stupefy the sensibilities. During the third and fourth stages of drunkenness it gradually inflames the nerve tissue of the brain. Fall patterns of carpets just received at Vincent’s. 1

; Senator Allison is the choice of the rank and file of the republican party in lowa for president in 1896. Leading Methodist ministers are discussing the practicability of divid ing Indiana into three conferences the lines to run from east to west across the state. There are now four conferences In the state. Leroy Templeton, the populist, has brought suit for SIO,OOO against the marshal and a justice of the peace at West Indianapolis. Templeton, with other populist speakers, was arrested for making speeches on Sunday, Aug ust 12. A Weil-Taught Lesson. The lenioncy of Judge Baker toward men who were proved to have defied his injunction during the railroad di(H , cutties will^be generally approve*, says the Indianapolis Journal. ' were, ju most cases, ignorant and citable mon who had oome to belinve that it is not n crime to resist the laws, to interfere with the liberty and destroy the property of others if they were acting under the orders of superiors. They have learned that the laws of the country can be enforced, and that the laws and the judges of the courts who have power to issue warrants for their enforcement are higher than any organization which defies them. In fact, they have learned so much that a term of im prisonmeut is not needed to restrain them in the future. Since the disturbed davs of July, n i quiet revolution has taken place in public sentiment. Thousands of men who would have openly sustained the Debs insurrection or secretly hoped for its success, would not do so today. J 1 They have hud a glimpse of anarchism ; iu tho violence and the incendiarism of ! the Chicago mobs. As the result, I they are now for law and order. Thousands of people who have been ■ indifferent about such matters, and I who have believed that anarchism and the organized beggary of Coxeyiam are not evils, now know that they arc and may be counted as firm supporters of law and order. The lesson has been a costly one, but it need not bo repeated \ fur years if the duty of obedience to' law is taught iu schools and every- ■ where set forth as the only security of society. unowrHO JOHN S WILD WEST The management ui 1.,^. ’’orthem Indiana ami Southern Michi.i^S AgJ ricultural Society have secured this matchless show as a special attraction 1 for the fair, Oct. 1 to 5, 1894.
