The indemnity which Turkey demands of Greece is $45,000,000 and the territory of Thessaly. * — Heavy rains have caused great damage to the growing crops in Kansas. Poor “bleeding Kansas’’ is always catching it. The senate is at work again on the tariff bill. The reciprocity clause is

proving quite a nut for the senators to crack. Cuba is about to eloct a new president in place of President Cisneros, whose term soon expires. The election will be held at Cubitas, the capital of the Cuban republic. The contest for county superintendent in St. Joseph county is warming up considerably as the time of election draws near. There are about a half dozen candidates in the field. The meeting of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association will be held at Island Park, Rome City, June 16 and 17.

It is announced that a program of unusual interest to the newspaper craft has been prepared. Mrs. Langtry, better known as the ‘■Jersey Lily,” has been granted a divorce on the ground of desertion. While Lily has been kiting around all over the world Mr. Langtry has quietly remained at the family home all these years. She should have had a divorce long ago for being deserted so by her husband. Dr. Shepherd is raising tea successfully at Summerville, South Carolina. The tea is said to be of superior quality, and sells at one dollar a pound. Shepherd is the only man in the United -States who raises tea for the market. He has a farm of 50 acres which he devotes exclusively to the raising of this valuable plant. Shepherd's success will doubtless encourage others to embark in the same line. Greece, with good reason, protests against the preposterous war indemnity demanded by Turkey and has sent a memorandum to the powers stating that

she will not pay the indemnity asked nor agree to any cession of territory. The Christian nations of Europe will no doubt intercede for Greece and prevent the greedy Moslem from taking more than a just indemnity, if there can be such a thing under the present circumstances, from the poverty-stricken little nation. John F. Johnson, the Logansport bank wrecker, who is charged with embezzling $600,000 of the funds of the State National bank of Logansport, is held wholly responsible for the failure of the bank, as it is said that the directorscan not be indicted for incompetency or mismanagement, as was first intimated. Johnson does not deny his guilt, which he realizes would be useless. Nine indictments have been found against him by the federal grand jury. He is charged with violating every section of the national banking law, including forgery. Mayor Harrison states emphatically that gambling will not be permitted in Chicago, if he can prevent it. The sincerity of the mayor's intentions will be taken for granted, but if he succeeds in putting a stop to gambling in Chicago for any length of time he will do more thin any mayor ir the past has accomplished. So long as the board of trade, bucket-chops and other genteel forms of gambling are allowed to do business with impunity, as they are now, how can the authorities ever hope to abolish 1

the kind of gambling that is carried on with more or less secrecy under cover i and behind guarded doors’ Although about 95 par cent of the

members of the house of representatives are said to be in favor of recognizing the belligerency of Cuba and would like to vote as they feel on the question, they are prevc: ted from doing so by the auto-

cratic power which Speaker Reed has i taken upon himself to exercise. lie is ! pursuing tactics which prevent action! being taken upon i measure die i tated by humanity and a desire to see ' justice accorded to a poor, friendless j country, which is only asking that it be given fair play by being recognized as a belligerent power. The sentiment of the people and their representatives in congress being so overwhelmingly in favor of extending such recognition, the question arises, What right has the speaker to arrogate to himself the authority to defeat the will of the people by preventing their duly elected representatives from exercising the right to vote upon this question. Is Tom Reed the house of representatives. or do the 3-d representatives sent to Washington by the people j constitute such body ? “Upon what j meat doth this our Caesar feed, that he : is grown so great?” i

An authority says that boxing chil dren’s ears is the cause of half the deaf ness now prevalent. It is a dangerous and unnecessary practice. । The beer tax in the tariff bill has been knocked out through the efforts of Sena tor Murk Hanna, who brought the argu ment to boar that the proposed tax was antagonistic to the republican policy I of protection. The salooon-keepers of Indianapolis have found that there is more than one way to “skin a cat.” They are evading the provision in the Nicholson law which prohibits music in saloons, by placing electric organs in the basements of their places of business. They claim that this is not a violation of the law. The prohibitionists will take the matter before the supreme court. Secretary of War Alger is of the opinion that the hard times are largely ’ due to the universal practice of a more ’ rigid economy than has heretofore pre-

» vailed. Everybody, rich and poor, he snys, were apprehensive that the times [ would grow worse and as a result reduced their daily expenditures to the lowest limit, thus causing immense sums of money to be tied up, which is affecting seriously every branch of business. A political organization in Ohio call ing itself the Liberty party, which recently left the prohibitionists, has placed a state ticket in the field, with John Richardson, of Champaign county, for governor, and T. M. Hillman, of Darke county, for lieutenant-governor. The platform, among other things, advocates free silver, prohibition, universal suffrage,

- government ownership of railroads and 3 the telegragh, liberal pensions and restricted immigration. . The G. A. R. reports show that > [ during the past year in Indiana, there r ! has been issued ten general orders and , । fifty five dispensations; $4,084 have been spent for relief and eight posts have j been organized. Thore has been a loss • of seventeen posts and there were 19, 549 members in good standing December, 31. 1896. while on the same date in : 1895 there were 20,952. The loss by death in 1896 was 394: by transfer 784; , !by suspension 2,177; by honorable dis charge 75. The collective reports show ! that the Relief Corps during the year expended in each relief $3,220; in other necessities $3,603.88 and turned over to i the posts $1,218, making a total of SB, I 041.88. Ex Postmaster-General John WanaI maker delivered a sensational speech re- ( j cently, the substance of which was that, r unless better times came soon a tide of i adverse sentiment would turn against the republican party, which would re-

main until some of the rosy promises made last fall were redeemed. Wana maker doubtless comes close to the truth. The people who were promised better times and plenty of employment are naturally becoming disheartened, and unless relief is afforded in the near fu future they will begin to l<x>k to some other Moses to lead them out of the wilderness. The republican party has a great responsibility resting upon it and it can not afford to tax the patience of the people by delaying any longer than is absolutely necessary such legislative action as may be needed to better the country's condition. How to Secure Feminine Beauty. Shirley Dare, the well known writer, suggests a plan for securing beauty in women which the Independent believes is a good thing, and which will no doubt have the hearty endorsement of the “sterner” sex generally. Shirley’s plan is as follows: “If you want the grand sloping shoulders of the Venus, which make the waist small in proportion, you can find no exercise equal to pumping water, and if you have a force pump about the house, reserve the use of it for yourself. Begin with ten minutes’ work,” the wet towel pinned tightly around the hips, corset off and loose morning gown on, which is the best modern version of the Greek robe. Wet the head well for the exercise will pump the blood all over the body, heat the temples and spine, roll up your sleeves and go to work, moderately at first. In ten minutes or less quit.

I sponge off the muscles that quiver and I burn, drop into an easy seat and rest five |or ten minutes, then pull again, resting ! and working for an hour. Keep this up a month, and you will not know your shoulders and arms for the same.”

Now, every man and boy who cares anything for the health and beauty of the lady members of the family will see ; that his wife or his sister, as the case i may be, is allowed to pump all the water

necessary for domestic purposes if she wishes to do so, in order that she may enjoy all the benefits of the above pre I scription. ou have sample buggies from four . different factories to choose from at Machinery Hall.
