aow THE SOLID PEOPLE BACK THEIR
OPINIONS IN INDIANA.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, now in Indiana, telegraphs as
follows: 81 paid flying visit to Tere
Haute last night and found the betting
men on deck with piles of money pre-
pared to indorse Hancock to any extent
and Landers to moderate amount. A
prominent sporting man, we'll known in
Indiana and New York, Charles L..
Campbell, was standing in the club
room when a voluble Republican said
he would bet 5000 even on Garfield
and 1000 even ON Landers. Campbell
pulled $21, 900 from his pocket Il saw
the money! and offered to take or quad
ruple the bet. In less than half an hour
$50, 900 in bills was on the table, but the
stranger backed down. l find the same
feeling very general smong sporting
men, but what they base it on is mys-
terry, Hancock is quoted as saying that
Indiana was of no account either way
and that he was certain of carrying
Pennsy lvania by 10000 majority. OF
course l am giving you the words of re-
liable men, not 'taffy' dealers, and in
the face of hitherto deemed absolute
facts confess to sstaggers' Of the most
pronounced type"
Philadelphia Record to day says ::
John L. Hill, the well-known politician,
offered to bet ST, 900 that General Gar
field would be elected. He put up 500
forfeit with stakeholder, so that In case
he failed to come down with the remain
der of the cash on the appointed day, in
the event of the bet being covered, the
other man could take the $50. After
the Maine election Mr.. Hill gave notice
to the gentleman who held the forfeit,
that he would withdraw the bet. In the
meantime the stakeholder had found a
citizen willing to accept the wager ana
who had put up $1,000 ready for bust
ness. Mr.. Hill, on being appraised Of
this fact, waived the forfeit, saying that
he could afford to lose the $50, because
there were plenty of wagers to be had at
5000 to $1,000.

COMMERCIAL.

Business during the week, closing with to-
day, has been good in all departments of COM
merce, and values as a general rule have been
well maintained. The demand for groceries has
been good and prices rule steady. Drugs are

changes to note in quotations. For this season
of the year al kinds of dry goods are in good
demand. The iron market rules steady. The
lumber trade continues to boom. Leather is
in steady request. The demand for fruits is
exceedingly good, and receipts are hardly
equal to the request. County produce is
coming in in large quantities, and the market
is fairly active. The provision market was
rather strong to-day and we note
few changes in quotations. There
fair local demand reported
or flour and values are undergoing no change.
The wheat market is strong and active at lc
advance on cash and futures, with fair offer
ings but no pressure to sell. Small lots of No
2 red cash were offered at 9S1zc, and round lots
at 9Ic, with 9311sc bid. Sales were made of five
cars, first half August, at 9SXc track, and it
was offered at that in elevator at the close.
The Eastern markets are strong and higher.
Baltimore is &c up August, &c September;
Philadelphia LS@S4c; Chicago is steady. The
corn market is moderately active and good

not by prescribing any set lot of remedies,
but by using all such specific remedies as

Food Better Than medicine.

Feed rather than drug your babies is
the advice OF q London physician. Thou
sands of babies are annually starved-by in
nutritious watery milk of weakly mothers
and other thousands are overfed and
poisoned by the coarse and rich mixtures of
milk, -four, farina, ETC., invented as substi
tutes. Collie, diarrhea, debility, ETC., are
promptly drugged by still more dangerous
nostrums. Thousands OF happy mothers are
made to mourn, and the land is annually
dotted with infants graves. Good, whole.
some food, containing the elements of
healthy mothers milk, will prevent 80 per
cent. of these evils, and German science has
at last solved the great problem by produc-
ing German Infant Meal" or "Paedotro
phine,n preparation at ouce wholesome,
agreeable and nutritious. Physicians regard
1T as a boon to humanity, and grateful moth
ers as blessing. Sold by druggists every
