THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL Is req
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest Of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so we'll equipped
70 serve the public. Our arrangements for
the collection of the Jews of the day are mora
complete than ever, and we have added soma
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indi-
ana that prints regularly the full reports Of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple.
mented by the work o., special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the county at large. We have .
special resident representative at Washington
City. who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The. full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news colupns,
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Repub-
lican paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to ~criticise and condemn, but in a spirit
and with a purpose for good, having a proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
Of the news, and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval. It
may also be said that THEJOURNALi is pub
lished as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec
ognizes that the women and the children ara
to be instructed and entertained. They viii
always find in it's columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be so
conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in the
household. The news will be presented in
such shape as to minimize the evil, and it's
editorial and local columns will be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accu-
rate printed by any newspaper in the country.

The RIGHT Man for the Place.

Said an old railroader yesterday, who is well
posted in the affairs of the Louisville. New AL
bany g. Chicago road, "If the New York men
will let Superintendent Woodland alone for
twelve months he will demonstrate to them that
the l.. n. A. & C.. is a valuable railroad prop
erty." He then went on to say that in the few
months since Superintendent Woodland took hold
there had been a general revolutionizing of mat
tiers. System had been instilled into every de-
partment; trains were run on time. which mad
never before been the case on that road; train
men were more careful and showed more inter
est in the welfare of the road-Mr Woodland
having forced it upon them that they were
really part of the road. Equipments have been
improved, and all along the line the track was
being put in number one shape. The surround
ings of the stations were kept more orderly, ana
really so great has been the change that ship
perS who have felt sore over some trivial mis-
treatment now were among the warmest friends
of the road, and with this has come a general
Improvement in business on the main line, and
on the Air.li line division. In other words, Super
intendent Woodland is catching on finely, order
ing side tracks put in. neat, coy depots built
where needed, and bringing about an era of
good feeling. and all that was now needed was
that the Eastern fellows let him run the road
after his own fashion a few months, and the
road would pay handsome returns to the owners.

THE SHERRY WE DRINK.
something that Rival. the Famo IL Poisons
of the Borgias.

A cable dispatch states that the Lon.
don medical papers are making an out
cry over a new species of poison, which
they assert is making sad havoc with the
stomachs, if not the lives, of English
men. It is called sherry, and Is manu-
featured at Hamburg out OF alcohol,
sugar, water and common table salt.
"Pshaw! we can beat that hollow"
said an artistic mixer of beverages In a
New York wine room, on being shown
the cable dispatch in question. "Why,
some manufacturers in this city can
turn you ont sherry that has more poi
sons to the thimbleful than you would
find in q den OF r~attlesnakes. Oils and
ether? Why, they a supply you with
al unlimited variety of them in some OF
what is called the genuine article or
choice old brands Of sherry. There are
a~cetic, butyric, chloric, nitric and sui
phuric others, and ever the bead can be
manufactured by the aid Ut alum, aka
lies aud acids"
Those who ship sherry" said a dealer
n American wines, when questioned on
the subject, "know how to drug and fix
it for the American market and have it
pass off as genuine. Very seldom one
bottle OF what could be honestly called
the real article ever reaches these shores.
Az in liquors, tobacco, caustlc potassa,
red pepper, aqua FORTS and oil Of vltrol
are frequently to be found, so in some
brands of sherry there are ingredients
which the widest stretch of the magma
ton never would conjure up"

in Chambers street who was detected
! using lead coated watts in the manufac-
ture of sherry. The English medical
authorities would have something to add
to their d~enunciations of sherry if they
bid the American authorizations mixed
with those of Hamburg"
'sAlmost as bad as the poison of the
Borcias."
My dear sir, II the poison OF the Bot
gias were in the market to-day they
would likely be used as fiavoring e K
tracts for sherry ard other wines. Their
Wanted potency would be of no avail al
the present period. They would en-.
counter poisons used in the manufacture
Of our wines which would make then
appear utterly insignificant as curtailers
OF life. Even electricity is brought into
requisition to tone up some wines"

REAL ESTATE SPECULATION.
How Chicago has Grown and the Manner
In which Fortunes were Made.

The luck of some Chicago land owners
has been colossal. Fifty years ago a
whisky salesman from Buffalo named
Owsley came out here to supply the
natives with winter cheer, and sold his
goods rather recklesslv. When it came
time for payment one Of the purchasers
was unable to settle. Owsley was sent
out again with instructions to square
the account some way. The delinquent
had nothing but 100 acres of swamp
land two miles and a half west of the
settlement, and this Owsley took in full
payment. On his return to Buffalo his
employers were SO angry with him that
they dismissed him and refused to pay
him his salary, saying that he could
take the land and get what he could out
of it. With a heavy heart he retraced
his steps to Chicago and tried vainly to
sell the property. Nobody wanted it.
He offered it for o year or two for S. an
acre, but he could not find a purchaser.
He made up his mind to stay in Chicago
until he could sell, and with that de-
termination ne built himself q cabin and
became a permanent citizen. In the
course of a few years it occurred to him
that the property was good to keep and
and he did keep it. He died rich the
other day, and his ons are in the
oo5prDoap% of on acto{a o0po nric;ro TWO
or three hundred dwellings and many of
the choicest building lots in the West
Division.
A little different from this was the
luck of a great many men who tarried
here a while in 1840-'45, and then sold
out and went north or west under the
impression that Chicago was too marshy
to be any good. met one of these old
gentlemen to-day and he pointed out as
clearly as he could, considering the fact
that the land is now covered with solid
brick and stone blocks, the boundaries
of his old farm.
"Nhat did you get an acre for it ?'
was asked.
Fifteen dollars" he replied, sheep
ishly.
"What did you let it go at that for j?
Didn't you know-couldn't you see that
this was going to be a great town ?"
"Why, yes, of course. We all saw it
and knew it, but you see we had an idea
that we were too late. All the good
land had been taken, and we made ur
our minds that we were just a little be.
