THE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub-
hcan in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de-
eided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for 80 cents. This will include
the number beginning from the present date
and the one succeeding the November election
giving the result of the national campaign
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is complete family
newspaper. 1t is specially edited, and much
of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
pared for the wants of the weekly readers. It
is a 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; it has record
of the proceedings of Congress; it will have a
complete report of the national conventions at
Chicago It's literary and miscellaneous fea-
lures 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 bn at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon WHICH nv
country is about to enter Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
sopies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
ia 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 and thus get the full term for
the money. JOHN C. NEW g. SON,

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE,
Some Chemicals Which Should Find Con
mon Use in Every Family.

Some Chemicals Which Should Find a COM
mon Use in Every Family.
1t is surprising, considering how
many women have been instructed in
chemistry in their school days, to find
how few housekeepers make any use of
chemicals in various household processes.
Especially is this the case in cleansing
processes. The washing of clothes is
usually wholly accomplished by rubbing
the clothes on the washboard, and with
no other detergent than soap. The
rubbing of the clothes wears them out
far more than use, and if housekeepers
only knew, or if knowing they would
take advantage of the fact, that many
washing compounds will almost entire
ly cleanse clothes which are soaked in
them over night, and thus almost en-
tirely do away with the labor and wear
of the dashboard, wash-day might
be robbed of half its terrors.
Receipts for washing fluids, the prin-
cipal ingredients of which are soda-ash,
ammonia and lime, can be found in
nearly every household receipt-book,
and are very cheap and harmless. All
such washing compounds are useful and
convenient for cleaning woodwork,
paints and carpets in house; also in
washing dishes and securing that desid-
eratum of housekeepers, clean dish
cloths. Ammonia is simple, cheap
and harmless chemical that should be
bought by the quart and kept in every
family. A few drops added to water
will cleanse children's hair and make it
soft and sweet; it is an admirable dis
infectant to remove the odor of perspir-
alton; it will remove grease spots from
clothing and often restore colors to
stains. Its common and frequent use
can not be too frequently urged.
Borax is another chemical that should
find a common use in every family. For
cleansing the teeth and sweetening the
breath few grains of. the powder in
water are unexcelled. 1t also softens
and whitens flannels.
Salicylic acid is perfectly odorless
and harmless yet powerful disinfectant,
and for many disinfecting uses in the
household is invaluable. tits very cheap
and convenient in form. In these DAYS,
when to stay various forms of disease is
SO important, mothers and houselseepers
would do well to give study and thought
to these things, and to try to make their
knowledge of science practical. 1t is
very encouraging to note how many
women are at present turning their at
tention to studies in general and applied
science. Let us have its benefits exem-
plified in the household. Mrs. II. Nc
Earle, in Weekly Md9azine.

SEVEN THOUSAND IN A BLOCK.
The Most Crowded Spot on Earth to be
Found In New York City.

The Most Crowded Spot on Earth to be
Found in New York City.
The most crowded spot on earth is
the block in this city bounded by Fourth
Street, Fifth Street, Avenue A and First
Avenue. There are many equal spaces
of ground in this city and elsewhere
holding worse squalor and closer crowd
ing, but in those cases the buildings are
low, SO that the layers of humanity are
few. This square is solidly composed
of six-story tenement houses, each
twenty-five feet frontage, representing
four families on each floor, and these
families wonderfully prolific in children.
The number of residents is estimated
at over 1000. Fix in your mind some
town with that population, and then
imagine it compressed in single city
block. The situation is in the teeming
East Side. The people are Germans,
Irish, Poles and born Americans, with
none of the locally despised Italians,
Chinese or Africans. They are indus
trious as rule and well-behaved on
the average. There is a'savings bank
around the corner on First Avenue, and
no pawnbroker in the immediate neigh
borhood. No aspect of abject poverty
is presented to the street, whatever may
be hidden by the front walls of brown
stone and pressed brick.-Cor. Albany

A CLOSE SHAVE.

A Railroad Mans "Reminiscences of Pioneer
Days on the Border.
A party of men were telling stories in
St. Louis, when one of them said he had
seen good deal of service on the Dor
der, and had had good many adven-
lures, only one of which ever impressed
him much. Down at Granada, on the
Santa Fe Road, when it was first opened,
he had had circus all one night with
a party of robbers.
II was in the office in the evening""
he said, getting ready to close up,
when four or five hard men came in.
They didn't say much at first, but
seemed to be looking the ground over.
We were always on the lookout for that
kind of chaps, and as the machine was
ticking pretended that somebody was
asking me question. laughed little,
and Selling the key, broke in with,
'Everybody-Don't stop the express
at Granada tonight, whether sig
nailed or not. Robbers here They
eyed me sharply, but said moth
ing. The sounder kept up a
merry click, and leaned back in the
chair. They fooled around for half an
hour and then one of them asked me
what time the train was due. Eleven
five,' said. well, we want it. one of
them replied told him that I would
signal it. About 1890 l got out the red
lantern and lighted it. Just as I got it
fixed two of them jumped up with re-
volvers in their hands and said they
would save me the trouble. While one
of them covered me with pistol the
others tied me fiat on my back to set
tee. couldn't move head or foot.
After they got me there began to think
what sort of a scrape had got myself
in. The train would come presently
and would go flying by, and then those
cut-throats would murder me Just for
the fun of it. had thought the thing
over when heard sharp whistle and
a roar. The men ran out to the plat
form with masks ON and revolvers in
hand. One of them had the lantern,
which he swung vigorously. In going out
on the platform they had left the door
open, so that could see things pretty
we'll began to hope that the
train would stop, for knew that it con-
tanned men enough to do up that crowd
it not taken too much by surprise. The
roar came nearer and nearer, until at
last ! knew by the sound that they were
not going to stop. With the whistle
blowing at full blast and the dust flying
in clouds, she swept by like streak Of
lightning. 1t was all up with me, l
thought. The robbers dropped the lam
tern and began to swear. Then could
hear them talking, and pretty soon 1
made up my mind that the train had
stopped down the road way, aud that
they were watching it. Before long
they took to their heels, mounted their
horses and were gone. When the train
men came up to the depot, all armed with
Winchesters, l was the only occupant.
They released me and told them what
had happened. A couple of them stayed
there with me and the train went ON.
If any express ever came any nearer be-
ing robbed without going through the
mill than that one did, I'd like to know
it. 81. Louis Post Dispatch.

special from Columbus, O., to certain
eastern papers today, gave what purported to
be letter written by Neal Dow of this city.
In which Dow said that the republican party
In Maine stood shoulder to shoulder with the
prohibitionists in the fight for the prohibitory
constitutional amendment; also that Blaine
gave his valuable assistance and assured Dow
that he (Blaine) refrained from voting at the
request of prominent Ohio republicans on
account of bigoted Germans. The Portland
Daily Press will tomorrow contain the fol-
lowing, written and signed by Mr.. Dow con-
cerning the above:
This is an unmitigated lie. There is no
truth in it whatever. 1 have never had one

against us and great many democrats with
