T Opinions from Our Exchanges. The arrival of Gen. Weyler, the new captain general of Cuba, at Havana, | seems to have been the signal for general vigor aud severity, and it is reported that a number of prisoners taken by the Spanish forces have beenshot. It isbelieved that such savage methods of warg fare will work to the advantage of the struggling Cubans, and hasten their recognition as belligerents by other nations especially the United States, which ought to have done so before now. -New Al bany Tribune. There are, perhaps, business men who would think it “penny wise and pound foolish” if they were asked to advertise penny and five-cent goods. But, if they ‘ would stop to consider the fortunes that ‘have been made by “pushing” penny goods they might think differently. Hundreds of merchants have been “penny wise” in the matter of judicious advertising, and consequently, very far \ from “pound foolish.”—Nappanee News. One of the advantages which the New York Sun sees in the recognition of the Cuban insurgents as belligerents is that it will enable them to sell bonds and obtain the means with which topurchase munitions of war. This, at the present juncture of affairs, is about as important a matter as concerns the Cuban insurgents. Without money no people, how ever patriotic, can long carry on war against their oppressors. -South Bend Times. The interrogatory is put, “who will take Bill Nye's place for humor?” After the platform making is done it will be very easy to hunt up the writers in both parties and then a substitute may’ ? had.— Goshen News. " Mrs. M.rth:—th—[;;ilel. Our pleasant neighborhood and vicinity were somewhat surprised by the sudden death of Mrs. Martha McDaniel, widow of Uncle Bryan McDaniel, deceased, on March 9at the ripe old age of 71 years and 1 day The deceased’s maiden name was Williams. She was born in Fayette county, Indiana, March 8, 1825. Her parents moved to Madison county when she was about two years old. Her father died 'when she was abeut 12. She remained 'at home with her widowed mother until she was married to Bryan McDaniel, iSflpL. 20, 1844. To this union five children were born, two boys and three girls. While living in Madison county they were called to give up two of their girls one in infancy, the other at the age of seven years. She with her husband ‘came to Marshall county in October, 1856, and lived with her mother for a lshort time untila new log cabin was i built on the place where they remained i until death removed uncle Bryan Faiday, lJan. 17, 1896, sinco which time she lived ;with her widowed daughter, Mre. Rebecica Mpyers, near the old homestead. ! Here in Marshall county she showed her ‘ worth a8 wife, mother, friend and citizen. “Husband and Home"” were to her two of the richest words she was ecver per mitted to use. These words awakened a tenderness and hope to her that she would not allow words nor wmanner to

eXpress. She began house keeping with very small means compared with the outlay of today. The furniture consisted of a couple of iron pots to cook in, a skillet and very few dishes, no stove and a log cabin. But she wove a fabric of golden dreams of perfect good about her and her partner that have echoed down all through her journey of hard work and sickness, disappointments and bereave- | ments, that her life has really the true Imark of the good and the beautiful in it. ‘ As mother—well we know that that means the nearest perfected humanity on earth. And I know as I write these ilines about mother I have every reader iby the heart, and the son or daughter who honors mother has the encouragement and sympathy of everybody. And Aunt Martha, as she was so fawmiliarly called, loved not only her own children ‘ and grandchildren dearly but all children, for she seemed to be greatly cheer;ed and nothing seemed to please her better than the children who came to visit her. Through all her afflictions of poor health for over twenty years she | was exceptionally jolly and cheerful never lost her cheerful and agrecable disposition. She was a member of the United Brethren church for a great many years when they had a class at the Morris school house years ago and when that class ceased to exist she did not transfer her name but lived on in that faith and died as the writer believes and knows a Christian. Fndear ed to her were her children and neigh- | bors. | She leaves one brother, Thomas ‘\Veslpy Williams, of Tyner, and two isisters, Mary Windell, of Madison coun- | ty, Ind., and Sarah A. Hodson, of Henry | ! county, a son, J. A. McDanie!l, with six { daughters, and one daughter, Rebecca | ! Myers, with one son, and a host of near . | relatives to mourn her Joss. | The funeral services were conducted '| by the Rev. Hilderbrand at the Center L { church and the remains were buried in : i the Morris cemetery Tuesday, Marci 10, | Grandma McDaniel had the happy satis- | faction of having her two children, | James A. and Rebecca, and her six )‘gmndchildmn, five girls and one boy, | around her to bless and comfort her in | hey lagt but brightest days of life. e A FRriEND. | Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder t World’s Fair Highest Award.

The tobacco habit grows on a man un | til his nervous system is seriously affect. | ed, impairing health, comfort and happi- | ness.

Curo” is a scientific cure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully compounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his pr.lvilt(b pre\c.tlcfi since 1872, without 3 failure.
