merchants take hold earnestly and the holiday
dullness wears off. But as annual stock

year is very promising and our mer-

in excellent spirits. Little can he

that they have reached bottom figures in the

The Weekly Edition of the Journal is .
especially prepared for the demands of the Y
people of Indiana outside of the cities and
towns reached by the Daily. 1t is not re-
print OF the Daily, but is an entirely separate
and distinct edition, under the care of an in
dependent and experienced editor. 1t con-
tains the best literary and miscellaneous
features of the Saturday Journal; but it has
exclusively prepared for its columns a COM
plete compendium OF all the news of the
week, both foreign and domestic, and par
ticularly of the State of Indiana, and OF the
territory which it naturally commands. Its
market reports are carefully com piled, and its
agricultural AMI household departments re-
ceive particular and competent attention. The
WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL will contain full
dgests OF the proceedings of the Legislature
and of Congress, with editorial reviews of
the most important topics of public interest.
In all its features the WEEKLY STATE JoURNAL
is as good as any weekly newspaper printed@
in the country, and of course, it is much
better for every Indianian because of its
local news and character. Indianians are not
interested in the local news of Ohio, or OF
illinois, or of Kentucky, or of any other
State; but they are interested i'll the affairs
of Indiana, and these the Weekly Journal
will give them, and at the same time be as
good a general newspaper as the best. The
Weekly Journal is the paper for the Indiana
farmer. Every postmaster is an authroized
agent. and will receive subscriptions for the
Journal, which can commence at any time.

The citizens in the vicinity OF steffsns.
vile are agitated over decidedly ghostly
affair. About twenty-six years ago one
Charles DeIsng arrived from from New
York and settled near Steaensville, when
he purchaseda large tract Of land. Some
time afLer his arrival he committed sui.
eide in house one mile north OF that vii.
lage, occupied by Captain Sells and family.
During the period that has elapsed since
the suicide was committed, the building
has had various tenants who lived under
the roof unmolested by either "spook,
ghoul or DEVIL" until few nights since
when tho present occupant, Mr.. N. UNI
phry, was waited upon by some
Immortal" who told him that II he
would look under the floor at the
bottom OF the stairway he would
find a very valuable diamond ring. During
the following day the strange vision preyed
upon Mr.. us mind to such an extent that
he resolved to investigate the matter and
see whether he had been "bulldozed" by q
false prophet or not. Accordingly he com.
menced The work Of excavation, and i'm.
agine bis surprise when ring filling the
description given him by the "who Is II"
rewarded his search.
Mrs. DeZsng, wife Of the victim Of sui
eide, Is supposed to have moved from
Knox City 10 Chicago. AS soon as her
whereabouts are learned she will DO noti-
aed Of the strange affair, and possibly she
will be able TO identity the ring and thus
throw little light on the mystery. The
case Is very extraordinary one, but as
wehsve interviewed several reliable parties,
and oil give the above, In substance, we
publish Il, and our readers can make little
or much Of Il, as they see ft.

Recently Samuel F, Jones, the prominent

fact that commodities, unhealthy and poi.

Wdthlh1toN RePa0tiedh,
The department Of state has received an
interesting report from the United States
Consul Du Verge, at st. Paul de Loando,
west coast Of Africa, in regard to the trade
Of that country and the barbarous customs
Of the natives Of Doudo, in the province Of
Angola. The following Is an extract from
the report: When dead the common negro
Is buried anywhere, maybe q few yards
from the door Of his cabuta, or in the mid
die Of the road. Sobas, or native chiefs,
are inferred with more ceremony. For
three months the corpse is kept above the
ground, sitting in chair, and daily
enyeloped in new pieces OF cloth, which
are stolen during the night by his former
subjects After this lapse oil time he Is de-
posted in his grave, two grown-up slaves
being decapitated and their bodies being
inferred with him, as well as boy and
girl, both alive, the former holding the
soba's pipe and the latter a vessel with
water. Although / have never been an
eyewitness OF this barbarian, and though
Il Ia officially contradicted, firmly believe
that II Is still practiced, and would have
gone with my informant 10 one OF these
burlals II l had been well and had time to
spare.
