E1oitement in Secret Insurance societies.

ST. LOUIS July 29. Considerable excitement
for the past day or two over the death Of Mrs.
Mary A. Mudd which occurred eight days ago,
and an effort has been made to have the coroner
exhume the body and hold a post-mortem. 1t is
alleged that the lady belonged to several socie-
ties and that her life was insured in them for
$1,000 for the benefit of her children. Dr. Whit
more, in whose family she lived, says that the
circumstances attending her death were very
singular, leading to the suspicion that she had
been poisoned. The coroner this afternoon de-
clined to take action in the case, it being shown
that the lady was attended by two regular ply
sicians and that her death from cholera morbus
was certified to in proper form. The affair
created something Of breeze but whether
further action will be taken by the members Of
the secret societies is not known.

A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home Of every Repub-
ican in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for 25 cents.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited, and much
Of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. It
is compendium Of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters; it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news Of the State
and of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
GUS features are of the best
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is newspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
It should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies Of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
in whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.
