q WOMAN,S SECRET

sShe is over-worked, poor thing.
Proud, honorable, faithful, womanly,
she determined to keep expenses
down, and do the work herself Right
nobly has she done it, but at terrible
cost. The sparkle that was in her
eye when she was a bride is gone.
Her once plump and rosy cheeks
are now hollow and colorless. She
used to step lightly and gracefully,
but now she drags one foot after the
other with painful WEAKNESS.
For the sake of the family she
does not mention her aching back
her acutely-painful nerves, her rheu'
matte twinges, herdyspeptic troubles,
or the heavy weight she feels in her
right side, thai tells her her liver is
going wrong. She thinks nobody
knows about all that, and she will
suffer on in quiet and unrepining pa.
ticnce. Alas her secret is an opea
one, for it tells its own tale.
Whisper this in her ear, she ought
to know it: madam, Broum's Iron

The first terrible holocaust reported
this year was the burning of the In-
stitute of Immaculate Conception,
Sisters of Notre Dame, a Catholic
boarding school for girls, at Belle
vile, Ills, on the night of Jan. 5.
About 60 pupils and several teachers
were in the building, more than one
third Of whom were burned alive,
and Il number of the survivors were,
badly injured. The fire originated
in the furnace in the basement and
WAS burning through the 1OJr above
when discovered and filed the who'll,
building with smoke and flame. 1t
is Il wonder that any of those sleep
ing in the seconl and third stories
got out. There were no ladders aud
10 provisions for such an emergency
and the alternative of roasting or
jumping to the ground and being
dashed to death was presented to the
Mortified students, reused from their
beds at night with the mercury in
the thermometers 40 or so degrees
below the freezing point. The total
number Of the lost was found next
day to be % pupils and 6 teachers,
and of these but eleven bodies were
recovered from the debris aud identi-
fed. The building and furniture
were valued at $4,000 with $4,000
insurance.

The First Gail fer Cam
paign Purposes.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Circulars
calling upon the recipient to state
how much he would be able to con-
tribute towards the Indiana Repuli-
can campaign fund, were last week
distributed through the Postofice
Department. The matter was
brought to the attention of the Post
master General who pronounced it a
violation of the law, and began an in
vestigation. 1t was found that the
circulars were distributed through
Capt. Walsh, who received them
from stranger and was ignorant of
their contents. Having satisfied
himself Of the innocence of the officer,
the Postmaster General dropped The
affair.

The Political Requisite.

Should the Democrats nominate
Mcdonald for President and Holman
for Governor, with the reelection
of Dan Voorhees, to the U. S. Senate
as an issne in the election of the next
Legislature, it would be extremely diff
ficult to carry Indiana against them.
The nomination of the two first nam
ed is highly probable, and the re-
election of VOORHEES, is sure 10 be an
issue. Therefore it is well for Re-
publicans to be making their calcula-
tons in view of these nnfavorable
circumstances.
Considering the former stalwart
and machine" affiliations of Presi-
dent Arthur; the hostility of some of
the stalwart leaders against him in
consequence of the "cold shoulder"
that he has given them through mo-
tives of policy; the fact that he was
a New York politician with all that
the name implies before he was
foisted on the ticket at the last mo-
ment at Chicago, in order to mollify
the stalwarts for Grants defeat the
further facts that he is q man of me-
diOcre talents, of epicurean tastes
and aristocratic ideas, and far remov-
ed from all sympathy with the mas
SEES, with no inspiration in his name
or surroundings - considering all
these circumstances, it would be folly
to seriously talk of nominating him
for election to the high Office that he
now fills. This will be fully realized
as events develop themselves this
winter. lie is not the man for the
crisis.
The nomination of Mcdonald will
compel the nomination ola Republic
can candidate from the West, or one
who has been identified with and is
well known in theWest. The West will
be the battlefield and Indiana will be
the center thereof. The rivalry re-
tween Harrison and Gresham and
other obstacles will prevent the State
from going unanimously for either,
and this will defeat both in conven-
ton. The same disadvantages
would weigh against either in case
of his nomination. Hence it will be
advisable for Indiana to go for a pop
ular and unobjectionable man like
Governor Porter for Vice President
on ticket with man like General
Sherman for President, of even Gen
eral Grant, or some man who can
arouse the enthusiasm of the country
in opposition to the Bourbon ticket.

FUN IN THE STATE SENATE.
From the Report Of Mondays
Proceedings:

Mr.. Bolcs offered resolution di-
recting the Lieutenant Governor to
appoint committee of three men,
bers, who shall take into considera-
ton the health of Senators occupying
the western side of the Senate cham
Der, and provide them with addi-
tiOnal warmth. Mr.. Boles said, III
favor of his resolution, that the Sen
ators on that side of the chamber
were freezing.
Mr.. Hays was opposed to the reso-
luton unless the kind of warmth
desired was stated. If it was tod
dy before breakfast, or dollar-and-a
quarter blanket TO each Senator in
which he might wrap his shivering
form, he, for one, was in favor of
adopting it. lie thought the resolu-
ton should provide that the Sergeant
alarms must furnish daily gill of
brandy to each Senator on the west
ern side.
Mr.. Bolcs said it wasn't whisky
they were after. He feared if any
were furnished, ii would be Louis
vile whisky, and he thought that
was not good for heating purposes.
lie wanted something done for the re-
lief of Senators on that side who
could not stand the cold. The rcso-
luton passed, and Senators Doles,
Walker and Dixon were appointed
the committee.

1t seems to be the general opinion
that Mr.. Mckenzie will be 4 cand!-
date for Congress in this district
against Mr.. Clay. 1t will be rcmem-
bcred that Mr.. Clay offered for the
place as an opponent Of Mr.. McKen-
zie when the latter had served only a
part of his first term and it will also
be remembered that the contest was
heated and bitter Mr.. Clay again
offered as Mr.. McKenzie's opponent
in the last contest and after Il brief
canvass the latter withdrew on ac-
count of his eyes, leaving the field to
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Petit, OF Owens
boro. Mr.. Clay's canvass was marked
with ability, earnestncss and zeal,
and he had Il glorious triumph. His
career in Congress 50 far has been
marked, and he stands extremely
HIGH for new member, i'll fact he
has developed to such an extent that
as representative he is considered
Mr.. McKenzic's equal if not superior

Cholera and Life.Insurance,

"Will the cholera affect life insur-
ance?" l asked Of an agent. at will
undoubtedly affect policies. The tourist
who goes abroad will have to get per-
NIT from the insuring company if he
wants to preserve his life insurance.
Intercourse with Atlantic ports by pol
icy holders in the interior may be pro-
hibited by some companies. Some
have no clause in their contracts allow
ing such prohibition. New Orleans
is interdicted generally during the sea-
son in which yellow fever may be epi-
demic. Attendance on the cotton ex-
position during the winter will not come
within this Limitation" "By the way,"
said this agent, ''there are some curl
Gus kinks in insurance. Some wears
ago it was found that large number
of houses in New Orleans had been un-
occupied for year after the epidemic
of yellow fever The fire insurance
companies cancelled their policies on
scores of them. Where such cities as
Marseilles and Toulon are deserted bv
their population to the number of hun
dreds of thousands, a presumption of
doubt is cast at once on an insurance
claimant. If his property burns he
must show that it was inhab;;ed at the
time of the fire. These epidemics play
havoc with US in more wavs than we
are apt to think of. f."-.St Paul Pioneer
