Donald Boom.
Vincennes Sun tDem)
gentleman familiar with the political
feeling at the capital, tells representative of
the News that the Democracy of Indianapolis
is not unit for Mcdonald for President by
any means. Mr. Hendricks still has a large
following that cannot brook the elevation of
any man above him. As long as Mr.. Hen
bricks lives these people will be for him and
against anybody who seems to threaten his
position as the favorite son of Indiana.
Mr. Mcdonald has a strong social pres
sure against him, inspired by certain
circle of indianapolis society, which is
not upon good terms with the ex-senator
new wife, She is far from a favorte there,
and 1t is a familiar saying that she shall never
become the mistress of the White House, if
Indiana can prevent it. McDonalds strong
and manly tariff utterances also open him to
the criticism of that large class of politicians
which prefers the straddling tactics of Gov
ernor Hendricks 1t is truly surprising how
many Democrats, in spite of their personal
adherence to revenue reform doctrines are
more than anxious to dodge the question
next year as far as possible They are look
ing for another issue, and they will not
tackle this one if it can possibly be avoided.
To these people Mcdonald is of course a
source of uneasiness. They would be glad
to make him President but they fear
10 attempt DONG SO lest his radical
views shall ALLEVIATE the manufacture
ing classes, and thus render defeat
inevitable. 1t is certain that Mcdonald
is candidate and that he will go into the
convention with a solid delegation from In
diana, unless Mr., Hendricks takes it into his
head to divide it. He can do this if he wants
to- but he has no notion of such thing
now. He says he is not candidate for the
presidency, but it is believed that he would
not refuse the governorshp, were it offered
him: Voorhees, will, of course, oppose Hen
bricks for Governor, because the election of
the latter to the executive would almost GER
tainly make him popular candidate for the
senatorial succession. However it is feared
by Mr.. Hendricks friends that he will never
be fit to make a race of any kind again. His
Health is not good, his foot still pains him a
great deal and he is aging fast, so that, on the
whole, there is a conviction that his day of
usefulness has gone by.

How to Treat a Felon.

Country Gentleman.
A salve excellent for drawing. and suita-
BILE for use in case of felon or any lesser sore
of the kind is made in the following man.
ner: Take the yelk of one egg and stir into
it half teaspoonful of tinely-powdered
camphor gum, one teaspooDful of fine salt,
and one teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine.
This will make mixture thick and salvy,
and easily spread on old linen. If the case
is very urgent indeed, twice the guam
tity of camphor gum can be used, and in
a few cases, when the individual cannot
bear the touch of turpentine, only few drops
need be added. This is to be laid over
the floor for an hour or two, or as long as the
patient can endure it, and then replaced by a
cooling poultce. If applied in the first
stages, the sore will be drawn rapidly to a
head, and weeks of pain avoided. If very
painful, put little laudanum on the
poultice, and if that does not relieve, battle
the hand with chloroform.
After the felon has broken, or at any stage
when it is advisable to apply soft poultice,
there can be nothing better than Aaxseed
meal. Pour boiling water slowly over a
teaspoonful Of the meal until soft poultice
is made-not soft enough to run, or dry
enough to become easily hard A little ex-
perience will enable one to get it just right.

Death of a Lovely Woman.


Louisville Commercial, yesterday.
The death of Mrs. Lizzie Haldeman Pearce
wife of Mr.. Charles d. Pearce, and oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs w. N. Haldeman,
which occurred yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock, is a sad blow to the circle of relatives
and friends by whom she was so greatly loved
and admired. She was young lady of the
most admirable domestic traits accomplished
and cultivated, and upon her parents no less
than upon her husband this mournful end of
a life that was SO young and so promising of
happiness and usefulness will fall with crush
ing weight Mrs. Pearce was born June H.
1853, and was, therefore, but twenty-five
years old. She was married to Mr.. Pearce in
October, 1881, and has continued to reside at
her fathers home, over which she presided
to the relief of Mrs Haldeman, who was not
strong She leaves an infant but two weeks
old The immediate cause of Mrs. Pearce's
death was pneumonia, and for week there
has been no hope of her recovery. The flu
neral will take place from the Second Pres
byterian church this afternoon at clock.
The interment will be private.

Household Hints.

A good rule to follow when boiling corned
beef is to allow half an hour to the pound
after it has commenced to boil.
The fumes of a sulphur match held under
the fingers after picking or hulling strawber-
ries, will instantly remove the stains.
If onions, after they are peeled, are allowed
to remain in sated water for an hour before
boiling, they will lose their strong. peculiar
flavor. Onions that are to be eaten raw may
be treated in the same way.
Pillow shams are regaining favor. A favor
lite style now is to make them of tine finest
cambria, with narrow insertion edge, with
drawn work, and finished off with border
ing of lace to match insertion.
For acute pain in the stomach or bowels,
try strong saltpeter water Wiring a good
sized piece of flannel from this solution, and
apply hot to the part affected, laying over it
another piece of flannel; cover the patient
well in bed and lay a hot brick at the feet.
Hard-boiled eggs are good for canaries, but
the shells should not be put in the cage, as
there is danger of the female birds learning
to eat the shells of their own eggs. Cayenne
pepper is a sort of tonic for canaries; it is a
good plan to hang a red-pepper pod in the
cage and let them help themselves to it.
Melt half an ounce of camphor gum half

A Three-oent stamp Worth 500.

Boston Traveller.
In 1916, while awaiting supplies from the
department at Washington, the postmasteIs
of certain cities were authorized to issue
stamps temporarily. Among others SO issu-
ing was the postmaster of Brattleboro. Eight
hundred stamps were printed and of these
one-half we're burned. Collectors have been
in search of some of these stamps, and it was
considered a hopeless matter to procure one
of them. One collector, however, who was
shrewder than the rest, instituted a search
for the engraver, whom he found residing in
Springfield, and he had still remaining seven
of the precious squares, which he disposed of
to the collector for 10 cents each, besides
furnishing indubitable proof of the genuine
ness of the issue, the very existence of which
was doubted The fact of the purchase
leaked out, and dealer offered 81 apiece for
six of the seven. This was refused by the
original purchaser, who demanded five times
that sum, and before the money reached him,
although it was sent with promptitude he
had an offer of $40 apiece. Being an honest
man, he stuck to his first offer, and parted
with six for $50. The most precious of the
lot which bore the engraver's name. he re-
tanned possession of and this is the one he
has now sold for 800.

lings springing up. New plants ought to be
set out every year to take the place OF old
struggling ones. When a bed has deterio-
rated it should be dug up and enriched for
new plants. Remember that rich mellow
soil and place somewhat sheltered from
the intense sunshine is essential for the best
results. When practicable have some such

enriching must be done in the soil; liquid
manure Injuries the flowers.

A story is told in illustration of the pluck
OF the Hon. Elihu b. Washburne at the time
when he had more physical strength than
now. 1t was during one OF his canvasses in
Illinois for a seat in Congress. He was
making the closing speech of the campaign
in the Methodist Church at place ten miles
from Galena, and among his hearers, who in
cluded many Democrats, was a well-known
and greatly feared bully, one Pat. Wech,
who. by the way, was shot and killed few
years ago in saloon IN Colorado. Welch
was slightly drunk, and had interrupted Mr.
Washburne several times, and he at length
appealed to the people to eject him from the
room. There was not man in the audience
who dared tackle the bully, and he was per-
mitted TO remain, until Uncle Elhu" him
self, stung by taunting and grossly insult
ing remark of WEIGH, leaped down, and
making his way to where the drunken loafer
was seated caught him by the hand, jerked
him from his perch, and hustled him out of
the door before he bad fairly time to breathe
much less to offer resistance. Mr.. WASH
burue finished his speech without further in
terruptiou.

Big-Brave-VVith-a-C1Iass-Ey Eye.

NashVllle world.
The requisition made by Red Horse, or
Blue Horse, the Indian chief, on the United
States government fora glass eye recalls an
amusing anecdote we have heard from the
frontiers. Lieutenant Walter f, Halleck,
while serving with the Union army at the
battle of Murfreesboro, had the misfortune
to lose an eye. After the surrender he was
promoted to the regular army as first lieu
tenant, for gallantry as a private in the vol
unteer service, and was sent for several years
on duty out West. To provide for an emer-
gency, he took along a couple of extra glass
eyes. Halleck has a small blue eye, and the
artificial optic was made to fit accordingly.
On one occasion, at gather
ing of the red braves six
and-a-half-footer, with but one eye
and that as black as a sloe and as large as a
saucer successfully besought Halleck to in
sert his artificial into his own sightless optic
socket. Halleck says he never saw an In
dian so delighted. Dressed alone in a long
white mans shirt and an old plug hat, he
promenaded around the camp as proud as
Lucifer, with one big black and one little
blue eye, really making the other Indians
believe that he could see through the white
mans eye" as easily as he could through his
natural eye. Halleck says he had never be-
fore seen a more amusing spectacle, and, at
the same time, one which looked more like a
picture of the devil

The Farmers Interest in the Tariff

There are two or three millions of mechan-
les in the United States who support them
produced by the industry of those who own
and cultivate the soil for a livelihood. But
if the Democrats get control of our national
affairs and force their free-trade policy upon
us, mechanical and manufacturing interests
would very soon be seriously affected there
by, and ultimately ruined. Then these mil
lions of American mechanics would be driven
