J. Ham. Wilson took a trip up
the county last week and reported
things booming up there,
Don't forget the ladies' entertain

pect to give you a good time.
Mr.. Eddie Nelson came down from
Lock Haven last Saturday to look
at Jumbo and the white elephant.
He took a copy Of the Journal and
pronounced it a success.
A quiet wedding just came to light
which occurred at the parsonage of
Rev. J. nj. Palmer. The contract
ing parties were Mr.. Moses Butler
and Miss Katie Nelson, Of this city.
Some of our hotel walters became
pugilistic in the kitchen of one of
our leading hotels of the city, 1t re-
suited in a few knock downs, but no
serious results, up to the present
writing, have occurred.
Go to Hicks & Burnleys for your
window shades. Good stock always
on hand.
John Hagan was seen by your cor
respondent on Wednesday afternoon
working in the Packer field, with
about fifteen hundred feet of lumber
lying around loose. On inquiry as
to the cause, your representative was
informed by Mr.. Hagan that he had
taken the contract for fixing up the
base ball grounds for the Williams
port nine. So it looks as if we are
going to have place at last where
first class game of ball can be wit
messed.
Two young men were seen on last
Sabbath gliding over the waters OF
the West Brauch in their boat. They
seemed to be enjoying themselves to
a great extent, but we would advise
them to select another day to go
boating, as it does not show good
taste to be seen in such an occupation
on Sunday.
Rev. J. M. Palmer, together with
the trustees of the Mill Street church,
have decided at last on site for the
new church. The ground on which
they will build is situated on the cor
ner of Hepburn and Third streets.
1t is in a pleasant locality, and within
the reach of all. The members and
congregation unanimously agreed
upon the site they selected. Half of
the required money for the ground
has already been paid and the deed
secured So it looks as if Bethel
will be the front yet. Let the good
work go on.

The SECOND Regiment Encampment.

A survey of the camp for the encampment of
the Second Indiana regiment, at Richmond, be-
ginning June 80, was made last Saturday by Ad-
jutant- general Carnahan and Col Nick Ruckle
of this city. The camp equipage and subsistence
will all be provided by the citizens of Richmond
and the gate receipts will be divided among the
companies of the Second regiment. The en-
campment will last a week. The First Ohio
regiment will be present and fight sham bat
tie with the Second Indiana on the 5th of July
The two regiments will be inspected and re-
viewed on the last day of the encampment by
Governors Porter and Hoadly and their staffs.

pardoned bv the Governor.

The Governor has pardoned Albino c. Hedges,
convicted in the Benton Circuit Court of rob
berry, and sentenced to the State prison for
three years. The prosecuting witness, at a
soldiers reunion at Fowler, had his pocket book
stolen in a OVID, and first accused a person of
being the thief who easily established his limo
cence. He then accused Hedges Of being the
thief, and he was indicted and convicted. The
prosecuting witness now asks that Hedges be
pardoned on account of the doubt whether he is
the person who committed the deed. The judge,
eleven of the Jurors and all Of the county officers
of Benton county unite in the petition. The
prisoner, whose home was in Boone county
always bore an unexceptionable character there,
having never been accused Of violation of law.
A vast number of the best citizens of Boone
county, including the county officers and large
number of the best citi: ms, also, of Benton
county, petitioned for the pardon.

An Exposition Of McHenrx,s Views.

James McHenry writes the Journal from Oak
Lodge, Addison road, Kensington, in London, as
follows: II send you report of proceedings at
the Grand Trunk-of Canada half years meeting
showing that the shareholders control the bust
ness and that no expenditure can be made or
money borrowed without their sanction. In
this policy, combined with making interest
chargeable only against revenue is the difference
between railways in the United States and else
where. Nowhere else can the continuity Of
tenure in railroad property be disturbed nor
consent of the shareholders Mr. McHenry in a
postscript adds that the old gentleman is young
enough to protect his property from all marau
ders while at the same time doing the state
some service.

Comforts of Home Upon the Rail.

Col. Mann of New York, the inventor of the
mann boudour car" two hundred of which are
now nuse, is making an extended trip over West
ern roads on one of his palaces on wheels. The
car in which he lis travelling differs materially from
any of its kind ever seen West, as it consists of
apartments which insure to the traveller all the
privacy and comfort of home. A corridor runs
the entire length of the car on one SIDE and the
apartments all open on this corridor, which is
fftysix feet long. The total length of the ear is
seventy two feet, and the average cost of each
car is 10000 The car is upholstered in the
best Franch tapestry, and in a moment can be
converted from a luxurious day car, with sofas,
etc, into the most comfortable sleeper.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The Savannah, Florida & Western railway
has been opened to Gainesville Fla.
Pullman buffet and sleeping cars began run
ming from Boston and New York through to
Chicago via the West Shore and Grand Trunk
on Sunday last
Sunday line of Pullman sleeping coaches was
put on the run over the East Tennessee, Georgia
& Virginia road between Cleveland Tenn, and
Warm Springs, N. G.
The Western North Carolina railroad must be
operated with remarkable Judgment and econ
omy. The expenses were less than so per cent.
of the income last year.
One important fact in the Erie has probably
been overlooked in connection with a default on
its bonds. 1t does not subject the road to any
of the dangers of foreclosure until six success
sive coupons have been passed.
The new branch of the Santa Fe from Socorro,
New Mexico, to the Magdalena mining district,
surveyed some time ago, will be in working order
within sixty days as track laying will be begun
at once. The distance between the two points is
thirty miles.
An order has been issued by the Union Pacific
road making a special rate of SD per one hundred
pounds upon hardware in boxes or barrels from
New York and common points to Sydney, New
South Wales, and Auckland, New Iceland. The
rail rate is So and that by steamer 81.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has de-
cided that when one is injured on a railroad he
cannot be charged with carelessness when he
does what his judgment approves or where he
omits to do that of which he has no time to
judge. Such act of omission, if faulty may be
called a mistake, but not carelessness.
The New York Herald reckons up the decline
of Jay Gould's stocks of late at 100000 900 and
upward. This is not an eXaggeration, but it
does not follow that Gould is on the eve of bank
ruptcy as so many affect to believe Men worth
from fifty to one hundred millions can stand
shrinkage if they have not been borrowing on
the highest value of their stocks

Plenty ofMen Would Be Glad to Take Their
Places.

Some of the Pullman conductors and porters
threaten to strike. They are complaining bit
terly of the strictness of the rules Of the Pull
man Car Comany and the harsh regulations i'm
posed upon them Says the New York Times
They say that the company is compelling them
to double up on their runs" For example,
they run from New York to Chicago and then
right back to New York again without being
allowed to clay over in Chicago a day. as
formerly. If the porter Of a car Is caught sleep
ing the conductor is fined certain sum for not
keeping him awake. The conductors of the
buffet cars are furnished with a certain supply
of provisions, out of which they are required to
feed so many passengers, and whenever they fail
in this they are obliged to make up the deficiency
out of their own pockets. The men also com
plain that they required to procure their
uniforms from certain firms designated by the
company, for which they pay $35, while several
other reliable clothing houses offer to furnish
the same uniform for $40 If they procure their
uniforms from any firm other than those desig
mated by the company they are dismissed. The
chief grievance of the porters is that they are
paid but $l5 per month by the company, and
have to depend for a living what they can
obtain from the passengers by backing boots
and in the way of tips"

Poison

In the blood will nearly always show itself in the
spring If it does not come in the shape of
blotches pimples, eruptions etc, it causes a dull
and heavy feeling, indisposition to exertion loss
of appetite, and general letting down of the
system Nature at this iuneture requires some
assistance to help throw off this poison and clean
up the organism for the trying summer weather
For this there is nothing better than Swifts
Specific.

retail druggists of Atlanta say, under date

POISON

In the blood IS apt to show itself in the spring, and
nature should by all be assisted in throwing it
off. Swft's Specific does this effectively. It is a
purely vegetable non-poisonous remedy, which helps
nature to force all the poison faint out through the
pores of the skin.
Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson Tenn writes
under date March 10, 1884: II had chills and fever

not able to attend to my business; had tried al

Many very conservative railroad men express
the opinion that the bears are slaughtering the
prices of stocks unressonably, which in turn
more or less affects values. There are stocks on
the list that have paid dividends for ten, fifteen
and twenty years respectively, which are now
selling at as low or lower prices than previous to
establishing reputation as regular dividend
payers. In 1867 Chicago & Alton sold as high
as 100, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 135, Rock
Island 1913, and New York Central 109 None of
these stocks have ever disappointed their
owners by emitting dividends. Each of these
stocks has returned in dividends more than
the average amount of capital issued for the
whole period. For example: The Chicago &
Alton has paid its stockholders in the last TWEEN
ty years over SIS, 600 900, on an average stock
issue of IS, 400 600; the preferred stock of this
road has paid in the same time over 81. 500 600
On an average outstanding of 50, 425, 600 This
road is by no means singular in paying quality.
There are many others that have done equally
as well after developing paying traffic. Twen-
ty-two dividend stocks active on the
market, represent share capital of about $715,-
900 000 which, in the last three years, have paid
to their holders a sum aggregating not less than
$40. 000 900, over Is per cent, and which are
now selling on the market at 56 per cent. less
than in 1881
