The school book law is now a law, so govern yourselves accordingly. One argument against a newspaper trust is that many of them have trusted too much already. Pkesioent Harrison will leave Deer I’ark for Bar Harbor, Aug. 0, and leave on his return Aug. 15. Chicago has just passed through a severe storm. The heaviest rainfall known there in years occured Saturday evening. Prohihitionists are very much demoralized in New Jersey and the outlook is bright for a Republican Governor in that State. Mant saloon-keepers in Cincinnati attempted to violate the law Sunday last by keeping their places of business open. They held a mass meet ing last week, and some two hundred of them decided upon that course of action. In the early morning the police quickly placed all of them that
were caught selling under arrest, and the beer-drinking people of the Queen City were compelled to go without their beverage the remainder of the day. There is no doubt there is a deepseated and well-organized conspiracy against the school book system of this State. The Democratic party, which always has been hostile to the schools, is to blame for the new order of things. The law passed by the Legislature undertakes to provide that the State through its Board of Education shall contract for a series of text-books to be used in the schools of the State. It also undertakes to Gx the prices at which the books should he sold. The system which has been adopted is without doubt the rankest job lot of readers, arithmetics and geographies eyer put in print. To change from the present system of books to the proposed “Indiana Series” will cost the parents of Indiana school children 51,000,000 and will be a step backwards in the educational life of at least twenty-fivo years. A Messiah craze has struck the negroes of Georgia, and the State of affairs is alarming. They have arrested and jailed three different Christs down there, but a new one springs up every time. A negro women has now come to the front as “Virgin Mary.” The men folks are leaving their crops and there is no telling where this latest religions craze will end. The June crop report of the Department of Agriculture shows an increase of 1,333,000 acres of corn planted in the United States over last year, the total area being 77,000,000 acres. The largest increase is west of the Mississippi. The general average ot condition for the United States is 90 per cent. For Indiana it is 81 per cent. The murder of Col. A. E. Jones of Cincinnati by a colored servant last Thursday and the finding of the Colonels body in a sewer on Saturday has greatly shocked the people of Cincinnati the past week. It was one of the most cruel and cold blooded murders of the age. Her royal highness, the Princess Louise Victoria Alexandria Dagmar, eldest daughter of the Prime of Vales, was married at noon Satur-
day to Alexandria William George, Earl of Fife, Knight of the Thistle. The ceremony took place in the Buck ingham palace. Postal money orders can now be senl to a stranger and paid without identification, at the request of the sender, who instructs the postoffiee department to “waive examination,” The new rule will be a great conven ienca to commercial travelers generally, who have been annoyed by inability to find any person to identify them in a city where they are not acquainted. Including the accession of the Bee Line and Big Four’s 1,126 miles of road, and the Chespeake and Ohio’s I, 039 miles the Vanderbilts now control 13,488 miles of track. That does not mean a monopoly, but it means a powerful influence in the railroad affairs of this country. That there is a full-blown home talent burglar in this city there is no doubt. It seems he is partial to Hanna street and it is rarely that som'o residence or business house or that thoroughfare is not robbed. This festive burglar should be col. lared by all means. Ir the present generation of Indiana school children turn out to be a set of ignoramouses through using the Standard series of text books, no blame can be attached to any other source than the fool Democratic Legislature that passed the law. Gas has been found in the Ellsworth well at Terre Haute at the depth of 1,490 feet. This is encour aging news to oar citizens who are prospecting for natural gas east of the city. Why not have that Putnam County Soldiers Reunion this fall, say about October 1st? Let the posts throughout the county agitate the subject. The wholesale attempa of English capitalists to invest in American interests show that they are not at all alarmed about our future, on tbe other side. Headquarters Greencastle ) Post No. 11, G. A. R. \ Greencastle, Ind., July 29. Posters are up, as we learn, throughout Putnam and adjoining counties, purporting to call a soldiers’ reunion and old settlers’ meeting at Greencastle, August 29. • The membership of this post, having no knowledge of such call of old soldiers, take tkis method of inform ing their old comrades of this county and elsewhere, that tbe call as published is without authority, and signed by a so-called president, treasurer and secretary, none of whom represent soldiers or any body of soldiers.

Constipation DomaTnls prompt treatment. Tim results of neglect may lie serious. Avoid all linrsh ami drastic purgatives, tbe tendency of which is to weaken the bowels. The best remedy is Ayer’s rills. Being purely vegetable, their action Is prompt and their effect always benciicial. They are an admirable Liver and After-dinner pill, and everywhere endorsed by the profession. “ Ayer’s Bills nro highly and universally spoken of by the people about here. I make daily use of them in my practice.” — Dr. L E. Fowler, Bridgeport, Conn. “I can recommend Ayer’s Bills above nil others, having long proved their value as a cathartic for myself and family.” —J. T. Hess, Leithsville, Pa. “ For several years Ayer’s Pills have been used in my family. Wo find them an Effective Remedy for constipation and indigestion, and are never without them In the house.” — Moses Grenier, Lowell, Mass. “ I have used Ayer's Pills, for liver troubles and indigestion, during many years, and have always found them prompt and efficient in their action.” — L. N. Smith, Utica, N, Y. , “I♦offered from constipation which assumed such an obstinate form that I feared it would rausu a stoppage of the bowels. Two boxes of Ayer’s Pills effected a complete cure.” — D. Burke, Haco, Me. “ I have used Ayer’s Pills for the past thirty years and consider them an invaluable family medicine. I know of no better remedy for liver troubles, and have always found them a prompt cure for dyspepsia."— James Quinn, 90 Middle st., Hartford, Conn. “Having been troubled with costiveness, which seems inevitable with persons of sedentary habits, I have tried Ayer’s Pills, hoping for relief. I am glad to say that they have served mo iietter than any other medicine. I arrive at this conclusion only after a faithful trial of their merits.” — Samuel T. Jones, Oak st., Boston, Maas. . • Ayer’s Pills, prepared p.t \ ' ' h Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold bj all Dealers In Medicine.
INDIANA SCHOOL HOOK LAW. Opinion of tho Attorney Geiier**!.—Rarent* and Guardians Miiat Huy Honk* Author. lied by the Democratic Legislature. The receipt of numerous letters from township trustees, saying that they would not introduce the now school text-hooks into tho schools under their charge, induced the Superintendent of Public Instruction to call for an exposition of tbe law from the Attorney General, and a reply was given Monday. In his opinion upon the subject the State’s legal adviser says that if a trustee fails to obey any command of tho new school I book Jaw ho will violate the condi I tions of his bond, and will ho liablo in damages in action thereon brought by any person injured by reason of such violation. No books shall be used in the schools of any certain text where these books are contracted for under the law,except those provided in such contract, uniformi ty of hooks being one of tho objects of the law. The punishment in case children are not provit! 1 with those books by their parents or guardians shall be decided by the school authorities. Unexpired contracts with other hook companies for books are not binding. Connty Boards can adopt only such books as are not contracted for under the new law. Superintendents must order a sufficient number of hooks to supply the pupils in their respective school corpora-
tions.
It is believed that this opinion will bring the malcontents into line, and that no further opposition to the introduction of the books will be made. The company receiving the contract tiled a bond of $225,000 Monday, and the Governor’s proclamation, declar ing the contract in force, was issued Tuesday. The Bible in Literature. From the Rev. Dr. Van Dyke’s article in August Century, on “The Bible in Tennyson,” we quote the following: “It is safe to say that there is no other book which has had so great an influence upon the world as the Bible. And it is almost as safe— at least with no greater danger than that of starting an instructive discussion—to say that there is no other literature which has felt this influence so deeply or shown it so clearly as the English. “The cause of this latter fact is not far to seek. It may be, as a discontented French critic suggests, that it is partly due to the inborn and incorrigible tendency of the Anglo-Saxon mind to drag religion and morality into everything. But certainly this tendency would never have taken such n distinctly biblical form had it not been for the beauty and vigor of our common English version of the Scriptures. These qnalities were felt by the people even before they were praised by the critics. Apart from all religious prepossessions, men and women and children were fascinated by the native power and grnee of the book. The English Bible was popular, in the broadest sense, long before it was recognized as one of our noblest classics. It has colored the talk of the household and the street, as well as molded the language of scholars. It has been something more than “a well of English undefiled;” it has become a part of the spiritual atmosphere. We hear the echoes of its speech everywhere, and the music of its familiar phrases haunts all the lields and groves of our tine literature. “It is not only to the theologians and the sermon makers that wo look for biblical allusions and quotations. We often lind the very best and mosvivid of them in writers professedly secular. Poets like Sbakspere, Milton, and Wadsworth: novelists like Scott, and romancers like Hawthorne; essayists like Bacon, Steele, and Addison; critics of life, unsystematic philosophers, like Carlyle and Ruskin—all draw upon the Bible as a treasury of illustrations, and use it as a book equally familiar to themselves and lo their readers. It is impossible to put too high a value upon such a universal volume, even hs a purely literary possession.” 13 CONSUMPTION INCUR A BEE. f Read the following; Mr.C. H. Morris, Newark, Ark. says. “Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced mo an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consuptive, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is tho fin est medicine ever made. Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: “Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumpsion I would have died of Lnng Troubles. Was given up by doctors. An now in best of health.” Try it.
