The immediate use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,in the earHer stages of throat and lung diseases, is highly important". Every hour's delay is dangerous, and may prove fatal. E. G. Reynolds, druggist, IMxfield, Me., writes: "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral Is a wonderful remedy. In the fall of 1875 I was taken with a sudden Cold, accompanied with a terrible Cough. I suffered for three months, grew worse all the time, and was threatened with Consumption.,

was recommended to me by a neighbor, and had a favorable effect at once. I continued its use until five or six bottles had been taken, when I was completely cured." Dr. Chambers S. Penn, Harden, Scioto Co., Ohio, writes: "My wife was Afflicted with a violent Cough, accompanied with Bleeding. Remedies usually prescribed in such cases failing, I resolved to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which, J. am satisfied, saved her from Pulmonary Consumption."

ADBIANCE Spears, the dynamite fiend of the setamer Felton, who made a handsome living during a number of years off of his accident policies, died too soon. He would have made an admirable member of the firm of Roach, Chandler, Robeson & Co. He possessed just the genius needed for building a government shift and then living in clover on the bills for repairing her defects.

THERE is a deal of truth in this paragraph in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Judge French of the Court of Claims, says that both Hamilton Fish and Secretary Frelinghuyijpn decided favorably on the question of the right of the Court to employ assistant counsel. Inasmuch as both young Fish and young Frelinghuysen are drawing salaries as "assistant counsel," the opinions of their respective fathers can hardly be called unbiased. Out West there is a prejudice against the acquittal of any one charged with stealing hogs when sUch acquittal is notoriously obtained from a jury that "had some of the pork."

AMONG other choice absurdities of the Iowa Republican platform is a condemnation of President Cleveland for the manner in-which he appointed pension examiners. Let us see. For years no Democrat has been permitted to serve on these boards. President Cleveland reorganized them, but with a justice and fairness for which he found no precedent in the conduct of his political opponents, he gave the Republicans in every case one examiner to the Democrats two. One would think that a political convention could hardly be so shameless as to criticise him on that point. But it seems they do not know what shame is up in Iowa.

CAPT. J. B. HAGER is dead. Hfs decease was not a surprisa For several days past it has been hourly expected and his friends have, been apprehensive that the end was rapiply approaching for two or three years, past. With him ends the last of (he' second generation of a family that has been prominently identified with th#history and progress of Terre Haute. His parents came here with their, sons many years ago, from a town in Maryland bearing their own n$me, given it by their ancestors. Their coming here was a great accession to the vital and progressive forces of the young and struggling village which Terre Haute then was. To the brothers Hager, Jacob H., John B. and Luther G., the second of whom in point of age was last to die, the city of Terre Haute owes muoh of what she is today, not only in a business way, but in literary and social matters. They were gentlemen, par excellence, genial, companionable, kindly, full of fun, just and generous. In the early days when Terre Haute was a small town and each person was acquainted with all, they were the life and light of all occasions they graced with their presence. May the turf rest lightly on the grave which holds the remains of Capt. Jona-

JOHN DICKEBSON, formerly of the Pension Bureau at Washington, has been arrested for the larceny of a flag from the government. Having stolen all the money and furniture and carpets they could get hold of it seems these gentry in their desperation were driven to appropriating the old flag, an exaggerated form of patriotic devotion to the "old flag and an appropriation." They left the roof on the pension building but that may have been because they were interrupted. It looks as if they were making way with the flag to get at the roof. Go on with the investigations.

C. W. Barbour, Thomas I. Bourne and Grafton F. Cookerly were the taembers from Vigo county of the constitutional convention of 1850. Samuel B. Gookins and Robert N. Hudson, represented the county in the legislature of 1851-2. A circular sent out asks the relatives and friends of any deceased member of either body to have prepared and forward to W. H. English, Indianapolis by the 20th of September a biographical sketch of such deceased member, and please inform him, at once, that such sketch will be forwarded. The same is expeoted to be used at the reunion of surviving members, which is to be held at Indianapolis the 5th, 6th and 7th of next October, and will probably be published with the proceedings. It is desirable that the sketch should be of such length as will not consume more than five minutes in reading.

ANew York swindler attempted to play his game once to often. He was or pretended to be a dealer in counterfeit money and his scheme was to cell thousands of dollars of the "queer" for as many hundred of genuine money. His plan was to handle good money as if it was counterfeit in the presence of of his victim and then by a slight of hand substitute packages of waste paper. His victims can hardly be said

are intending to. swindle others. But this particular person whom the New Yorker had beguiled into his clutches end was intending to swindle was a Texan and remarkably handy with his pistol. So when he saw the substitution. going on he whipped out his pistol and in much less time than it takes to tell it a corpse lay weltering on the floor and a small and black sonl might have been .seen by a psychoscope scampering down the ladder Sheolward. The police now have on their hands a corpse and its confederate a lot of waste paper and two Texans who need a rest in some penitentiary where the wicked cease from troubling and swindlers are confined.

visit for him. He made a grand tour through it nearly ten years ago at the head of a party of soldiers. It was one of the remarkable events in the history of the Indian wftrfate. After the outbreak of the Indians in the lava beds on the Pacific boast under Chief Joseph. Gen. Howard started after him. Joseph fled over the mountains coming east, with Howard in hot pursuit With their ponies and their small outfits the Indians went anywhere and everywhere over the hills and far away. Howard, with his cannon and wagon train stubbornly followed. He has to make his roads and they can be found all through the Park, for the Indians traversed it, in several directions and were never captured until they bad circled about and wandered near the Canadian border. In the Park and not far fromjthe place where young Howard shot himself his father's soldiers, while pursuing the Indians, came across a man wounded severely and left in the woods for dead. He had been going through the Park with his wife and her sister when the savage? came upon them, killed him, as they supposed, and carried off the women as captives. However, the man did not die and his family were restored to him in a few weeks.

WILL RIPLEY.6

Probable Cause of His Flight.

What His Father Says*—Further -w ^Comment

Mr. Geo. F. Ripley has returned from Lafayette and says the alleged defalcation of his son Wm. B. Ripley has been greatly overdrawn. Together with Mr. Brockenbroughthe books had been gone over and found to be all right so that no sums were taken except apart of the sales of tickets made on the day before he left. Everything indicates that the young man had no intention whatever of leaving until a very short time before his departure. Had he intended to be a defaulter he could easilyhave drawn his salary about two months, $100 of which was due him, and he would also have taken all the money in the I cash drawer and some of his clothing. The truth is he took no clothes whatever except the suit he had on. He owed nothing except two small bills amounting to about $15. Mr. Ripley says the shortage amounted to less than $300 after the salary was deducted and that he settled it. His theory is that his son's life was threatened by some one, which caused his sudden flight or else that his mind is affected, and expects to hear from him •oon.

Mr. Ripley returned home by way Colfax on the 2:55 train. He made all who came in contact with him during his brief stay here respect and honor as well a* pity him. He is the manager of the New York dry goods house at Terre Haute, and was at one time a member of the firm of Tuell & Ripley, the largest and most popular dry goods house of that city. The firm dissolved, and in subsequent enterprises he sunk his capital, and today is dependent upon his salary. He was peculiarly attached to his son, and this makes the blow fall all the more heavily on his shoulders."

Recently the deacons of a Methodist church in this district wished to have a saloon closed which was on a lot adjoining the church. The saloon was a great annoyance to the church, as many, of the members would get dry before services were over and would leave the church to quench their thirst—next door. Finally the deacons offered to buy the property, but the owner would not sell unless the church folks would buy his stock of liquors with the property. This they did. Then the question of how to dispose of the liquor was hard to answer. The deacon thought it a dreadful waste to throw the liquor away, and they tracks.

REPORT OF RHV. KUMMER'S PASTORATE.

Centenary church was crowded last evening to hea^ Rev. E^ummer for perhaps the last time. He read a report of his pastorate for three years, whioh showed a gratifying growth. Following the reading of the table the pastor made some remarks upon the church and the work accomplished. The itinerant system was discussed, that is the travling around of preachers from one church to another. Among the advantage the following were noted. 1. Each pastor has a church, and each ohurch a pastor. -. 2. The itinerant system' makes it possible for the church to call such talent as its special wants may require. 3. The system cultivates attachment to the cause rather than to any minister. 4. Nothing could be better for the development of preaching ability.

The following were among the disadvantages 1. Waste of time in getting acquainted. This is very serious in large centers of population where so much is required in getting acquainted. "V1 2. Unfinished work. 3. Great loss of time risk of health, loss ofproperty almost certain poverty. 4. The sundering of ties causing the heart to bleed so frequently you can never get used to it, for it must always be necessary for the pastor to love his people if he would be useful. 5. Great loss in school priveleges for the children.

Upon the whole, we think the time will come when this time-limit will be removed not that the system will ever be destroyed, but that there shall be some flexibility in the rule, so that, upon sufficient reason, a minister shall be permitted to remain five or more years in one place.

Mr. Beck's Last Sermon.

Mr." Beck said:—"Three years ago by appointment of Bishop Jesse T. Peck, at the conference held at Michigan city, under divine direction as I believe, I came to this charge as pastor. The first time I came into this pulpit to preach the biessed Gospel of Christ, your eager attention, and the consciousness that I was not preaching to a prayerless congregation, gave me inspiration, and furnished me with a presentiment that our labors would not be vain in the Lord. Your cordial reception to myself and family mode me feel at home, at onc9, in this field of labor.

The people are not always aware, perhaps, of the influence first impressions have on a pastor's success in a charge.

A warm shake of the hand, which carries with it a "God bless you," may do much to lighten the heart of the new pastor, inspire him with faith and hope and greatly increase the success of his labors. Such a reception I met with when I came to this church.

The Lafayette Courier says: "Last night .George F. Ripley, the father, came here on the 3 o'clock Wabash train, from Terre Haute, to ascertain the amount of his son's defalcations and make them good. Heds a fine old gentleman, with a handsome and attractive face, not at all like his son's, however, but showing him a man of integrity and honor. He was greatly troubled of Course, at what his son had done, and at first could not be led to think him guilty of so grave a crime. He thought the young man had. been foully dealt with, but this thought gave wav to conviction of his guilt before the accumulated evidence against him. He sat in the Monon ticket office and talked with Mr. Brockenbrough until nearly daylight, and while keeping up the show of a calmness he could not feel, was evidently deeply agitated. He said he wanted to clear up everything, and while a poor man, would not see others the losers by his son. This morning he was again closeted with Mr. Brockenbrough and it is the opinion that when he returns to Terre Haute he will remit the amount of all the losses, in which event it is probable the pursuit of his son will be abandoned and the matter dropped. This afternoon prayer meetings since our revival are home by way of jWOrthy of mention. They have been largely attended and characterized by

From the beginning my heart went out in earnest desire and prayor to God for a revival. I longed to see souls converted to the religion of Jesus Christ and in this desire and prayer I felt that I was not alone.

What is--the* church on earth for, but to save souls? and whatever else we may do, through the organization and instrumentality of the church, if we fail to bring the people to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Christ, we fail to accomplish our mission.

God has 'heard our prayers and blessed our labors, many has been brought into the church, who, I trust will eventually be saved. They are among our most faithful and earnest members. I wish to say that, much of our success, I believe, is due to the fact that the church recognized the leaderships, and acquiesced in the plans and efforts without captious criticism. I never engaged in revival work, where I found greater unanimity among the membership. Our class meetings and revival are

In closing my work in this charge and in reviewing the labors of the past three years, we may say with Paul, "Thanks be unto God which causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his Knowledge by us." The victory is not to the strong or the great, as the world considers strength and greatness, God can take the instruments which in his infinite wisdom it pleases him to choose, and carry on his work against any opposition. If we are "steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord" ire have the assurance that our labors 6hall not be in vain in the Lord, and we should remember that whatever our success is, to God belongs the glory.

I ask for my successor, that you will give him the same hearty support, you have given me.

OLIVER H. PERRY.

Unveiling of a Monument to the Han Who Said

We Have Met the Enemy and They are Ours." '^mll NEWPOBT, R. I., Sept. 1.—The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the statue to the memory of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, of Lake Erie fame, was performed this morning with all the pomp and retual of the grand lodge of Masons. The statue is now beside the place and will be placed in position tomorrow. The heighth of the statue and base is 25 feet. The base is of the best westerly granite. On one side is the simple word "Perry", and on the reverse side the well known sentence first heard on Lake Erie in 1813. "We have met the enemy and they are ours?] The lower tier of the base is divided into four sections, while the top tier is square and is one block. The figure of the gtatue itself is very striking. It represents the naval hero as having just stepped out from the boat that convey him from

spirituality. The Tuesday niglit con-1the ship Lawrence to the ship Niagara,

vert's meeting has been the most powerful meeting for social worship I ever attended. The Sunday school is doing good work, with its efficient corps of officers and teachers.

I thank God devoutly, as I trust we all do, for whatever of good has been accomplished in the name of the Divine Master during these years. As I close my labors and go forth I have nothing but love iu my heart toward every member of this church, and of all the churches, and for the people of this city. My relation to the pastors of the different churches in the city has been to me pleasant and profitable..
