Kerned Tleir .letli!- ltnl.v l'rn 1 r. I to by. Members of Company 1. of this city received the much talked about medals Monday. The Medals represents three bars, with a medal attached. On the first bar is a wreath encircling a stack of arms. The second bar bears the inscription: "Pints 1WL" While the third bar the simple word "Poby." The center of the medal represents the state seal, with the words "Faithful and Met ltorious Service." "Indiana Legion" around the outer rim. Ppon the back is the likeness of (Jovernor Matthews and the words "Claude Matthews Govenor." It is a very neat piece of workmanship in bronze and will be highly appreciated by t lie bys who when looking upon it can recall vividly the service rendered the state in WJI. Weill KiOimii;. There have been a great many lish stories in circulation regarding successful fishing expeditions the past winter and we have given those who partici pated in these excursions a great amount of credit regarding the number of lish they have caught and the weight thereof. Hut when Ad Vinnedge, the renowned fisherman of this section ol the state, goes lishing, and states that he only gets a bite, a great deal of allowance must be made for those stories of three and four-pound bass that are being brought from their watery berths. Now, Ad, observing the signs of the moon, and with the proper amount of bait, rode afoot to Pretty Lake yesterday and after cutting a hole in the ice and using a bunch of rye straw for a seat, hung his feet over the cold anil transparent ice, but got only one bite during the entire day. Some of the boys have been so cruel as to intimate that lish were afraid of Ad's feet. TWO BEERS WITH EACH MEAL I lie RMtariU Compete with Saloon od Give f r Drink. Out In St. Joseph, Mo., the keepers of restaurants have grown weary of the competition of the saloons iu the matter of feeding the hungry, says the Courier Journal. The saloons are popularly supposed to devote their attention to quenching thirst, but they will not stick to that in St. Joseph, any more than they do in other towns. Kvery saloon sets one lunch a day and many set two, while some have a lunch always in evidence. Nothing is said of an oyster with each drink, always excepting a schooner, but it is likely that such a system prevails there. The restaurateurs are tired of this. They do not see why they should not offer a premium for men to eat their meals, as the barkeepers offer a premium for men to drink their liquors. If meals are to be. given away with drinks, why should not drinks be given away with meals? The restaurant keepers are, therefore, seriously discussing the question of giving away two glasses of beer with each meal. They think they can do this without a license as they propose to charge nothing for the beer. Whether they are well advised as to the law may be a. question. If thi3 sort of competition be attempted, it will be interesting to see how It will turn out. It would rather seem that the odds were in favor of the saloons. As the saloons get a large per cent profit on their sales of drinks, they have a good deal larger margin of profit than any but the high-priced restaurants. But the higher-priced restaurants chf rge so much more for a meal than the saloons charge for a drink with a meal thrown in that the two beers would hardly prove an Inducement to those in quest of cheap provender, which is presumably the class mostly found around the lunch counter. Moreover the saloonkeeper sets a free lunch in the hope that those he feeds will corne In between meals to slake their thirst, which many of them actually do. No such hope as this is open to the keepers of the restaurants. The latter will, besides, run a serious risk of driving away their temperance customers, who are. willing to pay more rather than take their meals in a place where liquors axe sold. Retaliation In trade seldom works well, but as the St. Joseph restaurateurs have a real grievance they may try It. If so, all other purveyors of food In free-lunch towns will be anxious to know how they come out. Ilonin Sieker Kicurtion.

RELIGION AND REFORM.

English curates are thinking of forming themselves into a professional union on the plan of trades unions. Russia is turning the tables on the American foreign missionary board, and is sending several priests of the Greek church to minister to its interests In this country. Ever since it sold Alaska to us. the Russian government has expended $."0,000 annually on Greek church missions in this country. Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually visit St. Baume, in Provence, not far from Marseilles, where Mary Magdalene is said to have spent the last thirty years of her life. The Rev. Dr. S. D. MeConnell, of Philadelphia, spent his vacation in Europe on a wheel, riding 3,000 miles in England. France. Belgium and Germany. The latest novelty in the services of ffte Church of England is the holding of a private confirmation in a cathedral. English clergymen's salaries are not as high as i3 believed. In Crockford's clerical directory for this year statements of the actual value of 8,636 benefices out of 13.243 in England ar; given. Of these 6.1S are worth $500 a year or less, 2.74S more $1.000 or less, 4,219 less than $2.000, 792 less than $3.000. 173 less than $4,000. 43 only $3.000 or less, and 23 more than $.".000, six being above $7,500, and but one of these above $10,000. OMNIBUS. Disraeli prophesied in his novels that the workingmen one day would take a great revenge upon radicalism. Venezuela is one of the important markets of American petroleum, though it has important oil fields of its own. In the public schools of Oermanv the bright pupils are separated from the stupid ones. Medical men do the sorting. It is estimated that the Kaffirs in the diamond mines at Kimberley, South Africa, steal $1.250,000 worth of diamonds a year. There are more than seventy halls In Paris devoted to fencing, each presided over by a fencing master more or less famous. leaves of the tallpat palm in Ceylon sometimes attain the length of twenty feet. The natives sometimes use them in making tents. The amount paid in the form of interest to shareholders In public companies in England annually is something like 220.000.000. Dijon, France, has a poplar tree with a record that can be traced to 722 A. I). It is 122 feet high and forty-five feet in circumference at the base. .Marriage. I.i-e e.

The Advocate, of Hope Valley,!. I., says: Ilowortlfs Cirand Hibernica, in conjunction with lllodgctt & Hyde's Comedians, which gave an entertainment in the opera house Wednesday evening, was without question the finest enternient that ever visited this place. The scenery of Ireland, as shown by a panorama, called forth continued applause and admiration from the large audience. Particular mention might be made of the storm at sea and St. Peter's cathedral. The hit of the evening was Mr. Hyde's latest composition, entitled "America is (lotnl Knough for Me." This was sung by Mr. Hyde himself in the character of the familiar Yankee, and for which encore after encore. Juror fur March Tfim.
