THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

Dyspepsia is the prevailing malady of civ
ilized life. A weak dvspeptic stomach acts
very slowly or not at all on many kinds of
food, gases are exIricated, acids are formed
and become a source of pain and disease until
discharged. To be dysbcptic is to be mis-
cradle. hopeless, depressed, confused i'll
mind, forgetful, Iresolute. drowsy, weak,
laneuid and useless. 1t destroys the Teeth,
Complexion, Strength, Peace of Mind and
Bodily-ease. 1t produces headache, Pain
in Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of Chest,
Dizziness, Sour Quotations of Stomach, Bad
Taste in Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation
of Heart, Inflammation of Lungs, Pain in the
region of the Kidneys, and hundred other
painful symptoms. Dyspepsia invariably
yields TO the vegetable remedies in GOLDEN
SEAL BITTERS, the great purifier Of the
blood and restorer OF health. In these com.
plants it has no equal. and one bottle will
prove better guarantee Of its merits than a
lengthy advertisement We warrant GOLD

Run on a Philadelphia Rank.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-There is a run to
day on the Spring Garden Bank, at Twelfth and
Spring Garden streets, a State concern. The
bank has not been closed. and all demands are
being met. The president, Francis w. Kennedy,
declares that the run is due to malicious rumors,
and that the institution is entirely solvent. He
says the surplus is about $50. 900. The capital
stock is $270, 100, and the deposits 81, $50, 947.
The run on the Spring Garden Bank continued
until the close at 3 P. NJ, up to which time all
demands were met. The pressure on the bank
was very heavy, but the First National Bank
paid all checks drawn on it for presentation al
the clearing house. The bank paid out in round
numbers 5000, 900, and received as deposits $50.
900. At a meeting of the directors of the bank
this evening it was decided to instruct the
officers to proceed with business as usual.

A LIST OF AWFUL CRIMES.
A Texan Murders a Half-DOzen People in Cold
Blood Before He Is Arrested.

AUSTIN. Tex. Aug. 26.-Mr, L.. K. Dockey, Of
johnson City, Blanco county, came in to day,
and is said to have made the following statement
OF a horrible crime committed in Blanco county
yesterday: He says a man named AL Locke, an
old and extensively connected citizen, was said
to have seduced his step-daughter, living with
him. Lately his own daughter was apparently
pregnant, and putatively by him, and this has
evidently been disturbing his mind. His con-
nectlons attributed to him the crime of ssducing
his own daughter. Yesterday, between the
hours of 2 and 3 o'clock P. NJ, he left home, in
tending, as he avowed, to 60 to John Green's
place to borrow a sum of money to pay a debt.
Green and family were away from home. He
entered the house and took Green's Winchester
and returned to the residence of his own brother.
Berry Locke. He then shot and killed Berry
and his (Berry's) wife. A neighbor named
John Nicholson rode up just then. and he
forced Nicholson to go with him to Mr..
Stokes's. He then shot and killed Mr.. Stokes,
There Nicholson is lost sight of; his horse was
tied there when found. From there Locke
went to his own house and shot and cut the
throat of Mrs. Henry Locke, of Llano county,
wife OF his step-son, who was on a visit to him.
He also shot and killed there Mrs. Stokes, the
to the killing of Mrs. Henry Locke. Then he
shot and killed his own daughter, Miss locke,
the one said to be pregnant by him. He then
attempted to kill mis- wife. but, his cartridges
being exhausted, he could not fire another
shot, and he failed. and she escaped. Having
failed to catch and kill his wife, he cut his own
throat. At 3 o'clock this morning he was still
alive. He mounted his horse and started in the
direction of johnson City. After having ridden
a few yards he met Mr.. Thomas Brunswick,
whom he attacked and wounded severely with a
knife. He then rode on toward Johnson City,
and was arrested, when faint and nearly dead,
about two miles from that place. About twenty
children are orphaned by this series of crimes.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

The Apparent Scarcity of Money, and the
Causes Thereof.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2G.-'Therei is no especial
change in the number of national banks being
organized now, and the capital of those coming
into existence" said one of the principal officers
in the currency division of the Treasury. Every
few banks are being organized, it is true, con-
tinued he; but this is an extremely dull season,
and business in that direction always lops off in
the summer. In September banks will begin to
organize, and they will multiply rapidly then
for three months. No, the old banks are not
increasing their circulation much. Banks
ought to make money now. They get high in
terest, and are loaning up to a pretty close mar
gin. The apparent scarcity of money is not due
to banks boarding it up. 1t comes from a
'panicky' feeling which prompts people loaning
money to hold it instead of loaning it. They
fear there will be a crash yet, but there won't
be-"
lit looks as though one of the first things
Congress will do will be to pass the bill allowing
an issuance of one hundred cents on the dollar,
instead of ninety, for bonds deposited to secure
circulation" 1 said. Will that help mattersl"
eyes, by putting about $50, 900, 600 more
money in circulation. 1t ought to make interest
a little lower, as it will also lead to an increase
of the number of banks"

GENERAL BLACK AND MISS SWEET.
A Contest in Which the Commissioner Is
Winning no Laurels.

A Contest In Which the Commissioner Is
Winning no Laurels.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Democrats at the
capital are not proud of the way General Black,
Commissioner of Pensions, has treated Miss Ida
G.. Sweet, pension agent at Chicago. General
Black has not pursued the course of a soldier or
q brave, honorable man with Miss Sweet. After
trying to force a resignation from her he set
about to have her dismissed for incompetency.
This he attempted by an effort recently to
blacken her public character. He alleged to the
press that there were over six hundred names
being carried on the rolls by Miss Sweet who
were not entitled to pensions, leaving the in
ference that Miss Sweet was culpable, and winked
at fraud.
1t has been shown by investigation that not a
dollar has been paid to any of these people the
Commissioner claims are carried upon the rolls,
and not a cent has been lost. 1t has been shown,
too, that Miss Sweet has obeyed both the spirit
and the letter of the law and her instructions.
1t is not her duty to ascertain who are entitled
to pensions and who are not, and if she presumed
to do so would be informed that she was usurp-
ing the foundations o. her superior officers. She
is simply a disbursing officer; is given a list of
pensioners in her district and money to pay
them. There is a detective force employed at
the Pension Bureau to detect frauds and report
whose names should be dropped from the rolls.

THE LACKEY AT THE DOOR.

A Despicable System Which Is Growing
Rapidly Under Democratic Rule.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-The attempt made by
Dne Daniels, an underling of the First Assistant
Postmaster Generals Office, to thrash, on Satur-
day night last, a Washington correspondent, is
the direct result of a system that has grown up
under Democratic rule in the departments here.
Under the old Republican rule no chief clerk of
= department.. or Assistant Cabinet officer,
sither, thought of standing the people off or
requiring those who might have business with
them to solicit an audience with them through a
sable lackey, whose self-importance was in exact
ratio with the hauteur with which their masters
treated the people. ANY one who wanted to see
o chief clerk, or an assistant Secretary, or a
Secretary, even, on most occasions could march
right into his Office and talk to him till he was
through, or await his turn only until some other
fellow had gotten through. No sable porter
stood at the closed door, announcing to those
who wished to enter:
''You can't 60 in, sab; the Gen'ral's done been
consultin' wifi another gent'man, and can't be
seen, sah."
The door stood wide open, and the lackey was
engaged elsewhere, polishing cuspadors, instead
of blufing gentlemen.
All that is changed now. When the officer
comes in in the morning the door bangs behind
him. the lackey takes his stand on the other side.
and then it requires as much negotiation and
diplomacy to get at the mighty man within as it
would to negotiate a reciprocity treaty between
two OF the mightiest powers on earth. And
when one does get in he is met by some such
fellows ss the one who tried to punish CORES
2endent Larner and got punished himself.
People who are compelled to visit the depart

ments often are growing weary of supercilious-
ness. If one is modest and gentlemaniy he is
liable to be bluffed by some fresh and verdant
minion. The influential individual who is
cordially received by the superior officers is dotted
upon by the underliners.
This despicable condition Of affairs has been
growing very rapidly since the change OF
administration. 1t grows out of ignorance of
what the real functions of the officers are, and
out of the fact that in many instances impolite
and naughty men have been called to high
places. 1t has always been tho rule that the
higher the officer the greater the courtesy
extended to the common people, because a higher
degree of intelligence and civility was encoun-
tered. Now the rule has been reversed.

Caught in His Own Bear-Trap.

GRANVILLE, Vt. Aug. 26.-Ira Linnell, with
several other young men, has been spending the
past week in the woods, trapping bears. On
Sunday morning he went to visit a distant bear
trap. to which only weekly visits were paid. and
although he didn't return when expected, no
anxiety was felt by his friends. Late on Mon
day afternoon a farmer happened to pass near
the trap in question and thought to examine it.
Listening in vain for any indication of the
presence of a bear, he opened the trap, and
there. in a fainting condition, he found young
Linnell. 1t appears he had gone inside of the
trap, a big box-lid affair for catching animals
alive, and, while arranging the bait. accidentally
touched the spring that closed the door and he
found himself imprisoned. For thirty six hours
he remained in his prison with no water and but
little air, and his only food was the raw meat
with which the trap was baited, and which
hunger finally compelled him to eat.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

The Working Glasses Grow Weary of the
Domination of Democratic AristOcrats.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-There is every pros
pect for a beautiful shindy among the Demo
Gratis of Virginia. Ever since the war the relics
Of the 'old-time slave-holding arist0cracy, by
pandering to the anti-negro prejudices of the
mechanics and operatives Of the Old Dominion,
have been able to secure the unanimous support
of these classes. In the pending canvass, how
ever, things are not as they used to be" down
there. The laborers and mechanics of the old
State are now beginning to understand the game
of the aristocratic leaders, and they are calling
D halt Not only are they calling a halt, but
they are also making certain demands for
recognition of their rights and interests; de-
manding certain pledges of the candidates, and
they threaten to smash things if their demands
are not complied with instantly. These demands
are gall and to the blooded Lee and
pugnacious Massey, the latter the candidate for
Lieutenant governor, and who holds all laboring
people in good old-fashioned, slave holding con-
tempt, it is said, and would spit on them and
trample them under his feet if he dared to.
An active, intelligent Democrat, who has just
returned from Richmond, and who is employed
in one of the Offices here, informs your CORE
spondent that a breach iu Bourbon ranks in the
Old Dominion is almost certain ) occur, for the
workers are getting hot under t , collar, and if
their demands are not Immediately complied
with they will secede and either vote for Wise
or for an Independent candidate. They declare
that they will stand no more battling.
There are two other causes for weakness in
the Democratic ticket in Virginia, the gentleman
says. One is that Fitzhugh Lee is not a speaker,
and will cut no figure whatever on the stump.
AS one prominent leader put it, before the nom
nations were made, IF Fitz Lee is nominated
somebody will have to wet.nurse him on the
stump, for he would only make an ass OF himself
if he should try to speak" The second cause of
weakness is the great unpopularity of Massey.
Whatever may be the result as to Lee. Massey's
defeat is thought to be almost certain. Thou
sands of workingmen will silently scratch his
name, even if they vote the balance of the ticket.
This feeling will, of course, affect the whole
ticket more or less; land, take it altogether"
says my informant, "the chances for Wise are
fully equal to those of Lee, as the result will

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Dr. Schell, of Cos
port, who has been here seeking a position as
one of the pension medical examiners on the
local board in that section of Indiana, will not be
appointed. 1t is understood that the Commits
sioner Of Pensions has been advised that the
appointment of the Doctor would provoke some
very unpleasant criticisms. The nature of the
charges against Schell could not be ascertained,
but it is safe to assume that he will not receive
the appointment he seeks.
1t is reported that Judge Thoman, of the Civil
service Commission. will soon be married to a
we'll known Ohio lady. He is f~ftyfour years
! old, and has been a widower nine years.
Postmasters' commissions were issued today
to tho following Indianians: Chesley F. Gar
rison. Fort Branch; William W.. Dowden, Liz
ton; John F. Davidson. Wallace. The acting
Postmaster general today appointed the follow
ing fourth class postmasters for Indiana: At
Taswell, Jos. B. Taswell; Gessie. John Cade;
Jonesborough, Frank G. Pierce; Selma, Ella F.
Edwards. In Illinois appointments were made
as follows: At Utica, William E. Armstrong;
Greenup, James NJ. King; Palatine, John S.
Schlerding.
1t rumored that a Mr.. Rodgers. of Buffalo,
Is expected to be nominated for Public Printer,
and that he will be compelled by poor health to
decline the appointment, and do what he can to
further the selection of r. P. Yorkston, of the
Campbell Press Company. The latter and his
friends are counting upon such q remarkable
disposition of affairs.
Mr.. John Dickerson, formerly superintendent
of the new pension building, is charged with
some irregularities. 1t is said he kept no books
or records of his Office or business. He is also
charged with employing men who performed no
work of any kind. In addition. it is said that
material purchased for use in the pension build
ing was removed and sold. The whole matter is
being Investigated.
