Ex-Gov. Plaistsd's extreme zeal for the
suppression of the liquor traffic still contin-
ues to make itself conspicuous in the col
umns of the New Age. The work of "pul-
verizing the rum power" is noble one and
We sincerely hope the Ex-Governor will stick
to 1t. 1t is to he regretted however, that he
did not begin the pulverizing process some
years ago when he was in control of better
pulverzng machinery than he has at pres
ent. In this neighborhood, as q rule, the
Democrats do not take it to heart when the
law is inef3ciently enforced. The Argus
makes no complaints about the present con-
dition in Portland.

The White Elephant,s Car

Emerging from the bitter outer air into
the comfortable warmth of the winter circus
quarters to-day, the writer found number
of the show managers giving orders to the
car and chariot builders regal ding the work
now under way. The new car for the sa
cred white elephant will eclipse anything in
the car line ever built. 1t is sixty feet long
and, like Jumbo's car, fourteen feet in the
clear. Jumbo's is constructed entirely for
strength, the heavy timbers, plank, and
iron simply painted over, and all attempts
at adornment abanl Joined. The sacred
white elephants car, however, not only is
being built with every attention to strength.
but also to elegance. 1t is simply palatial
The pure white exterior, mirrors bordered
with crystals and precious stones. heavy
carvings thick with beaten gold, marbles in
alto relieve, and metal work as fine as the
As.yrian, Egyptian, or Grecian art can
fashion, meet the eye. Then within the en-
raptured gaze is plunged upon the wealth of
marvellous and magic coloring, enhanced bv
the quivering light through the stained glass
windows. There are groups of golden YES
seis and gods, the masterwork of Siamese
artisans that surround the sacred white ele-
PAohes 1dPcSbllcS anu rugs, LOSCC1or WIN
satin cushioned walls, will soften the thumps
of railroad ride. A cultivated magma
ton is fairly lost in the suggestion afforded
by the characters from Thebes, Babylon,
and Nineveh, and other Oriental cities of the
past or present.
To the front and rear of the car are bou-
doris for the Buddha priests. These rooms
will equal the finest Pullman car apartments
in luxury, excep ing the appointments,
which are Oriental instead of the Yankee
renaissance"
"You see," said one of the managers,
"these priests worship the white elephant
and will not leave him. We are obliged to
make them as comfortable as possible, and
there is no reason why their gods should
not be as handsomely surrounded as in their
native land. The car without the gold and
jewels will cost about $62, 900, and although
that seems an enormous sum, 1t will not all
be lost, as in the event of the elephant dy-
ing or anything happening, most all the par
aphernalia can be sold or utilized" Bridge

DYSPEPSIA.

Sedentary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder of each
organ increases the infrmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
tite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental yigor, distressing
sense of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and Increased Gostiveness. all of which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
Inevery instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofulous faint in the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon to effect cure. Those cases
not amenable to the curative influence of
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield If
the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood
purifying properties of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA.
Dyspeptics should know that the longer
treatment of their malady is postponed,
the more difficult of cure It becomes.

The blossoms were fading
When Alice met thee,
But in Loves briget spring-time
Now thou art all to me.
Like watch fires that burn bright,
And shine out DER the sea,
Thy heart answers my heart
And sights the world for me-
Thy heart answers my heart
AS watch fires greet thessea,
AS watch fires greet the sea;
ask no greater blessing,
AS watch fires that burn bright
And shine out DER the tea;
ask no greater blessing
Than that thou vert with me.
o, Alice, my Darling,
With eyes full OF starshine,
art thou yet keeping
Thy promises to me.
The summer may hasten,
And autumn brown the lea;
Ere birds hush their sweet songs,
Darling, I'll come to thee.
Ere birds hush their sweet songs,
Or autumn browns the lea:
Or autumn browns the lea,
Thy dear face mine shall greet,

and this State is paying more attention to the
construction of frst-class, durable, serviceable
bridges than ever before in her history. The In

build considerably more than two miles length
of these structures. the company has just com
pleted bridge in Shelby county, and is now
putting the finishing touches on large bridge
across the Miami river at Bellfontaine Ohio
1t also has number of other contracts on hand
among them large and beautiful bridge over
White river near Seymour, which is to be 400
feet long The company is constantly increasing
its facilities and its bushes has grown rapidly
though its operations have been conducted with
out the aid Of brass band and solely on the
merits of the work. Sixty-five men are now EN-.
ployed. iron is bought by the hundred tons and
the works have capacity to make something
over 200 feet of finished bridge work week.
These bridge works are an institution of which
this city may well be proud, as the excellent
work that is turned out advertises the skill of
our artisans and the merits of indianapolis as
well
