She commenced taking the Compound and in two months was fully re- stored. In proof of this she soon found her self in an interesting condition. Influenced by foolish friends she attempted to evade the responsibilities of maturity After ten or twelve days she came to me again and she was indeed in most alarming state and sui. el ed terribly. I gave her tablespoonful of the compound every hour for eight hours until she fell asleep. She awoke much re lieved and evidently better. She continued taking the Comp und, and in due season she became the mother of fine healthy boy. But for the timely use of the medicine she be- lieyes her life would have been lost

An Indian Massacre Connrmed,

the Canadian and United States authorities confirms the report of the recent Indian mas- sacre in the Northwest. It appears that q band of Gros VeItfe Indians passed Fort Assi- hiboine south of the boundary line, and on ex- hibiting six scalps were detained by American troops. On being pressed they gave an ac- count of the fight which had taken place. They then took the militia to Sweet Grass Hills, where the scalping was done. The scene being located on Canadian territory, the American troops could not cross the line. The Canadian mounted police were ordered to make search for the bodies and found them as represented by the Gros Yentres in Sweet Grass.

Then the liquid ran out and the dog was found next morning shiver- ing on the bottom of the empty vat No one saw all this, but the circum stantial evidence is strongly in favor ol the explanation.

Cause of a Boilers Exnlosion

Before John l.. McMaster. special judge, in
Superior Court No. 8, there has been on trial for
several days the claim of Willard Kidder, of
Terre Haute. against Sinker, Davis & Co. The
amount involved is small, but the cause of the
suit calls for great deal Of expert testimony as
to boilers and boiler making. The defendants
sold to the plaintiff boiler which exploded be-
fore the year of warranty expired. The claim
is to have them pay for delay caused to the
plaintiffs business by having the boiler repaired.
The line of defense is that the explosion came
from no defects in the iron or construction of
the boiler, but that Kidder, in keeping it from
scaling, used tallow This substance being i'm
pervious, lines the walls of the boiler and pre-
vents the water from touching the iron, which,
when heated, causes expansion, and the conse-
quent breakage. The testimony was closed last
evening" and the case will go to the jury to- day.

A STRUCTURE WITH MANY SECRETS.
The Dark History of an Old Bridge That Is

THE old covered bridge across White river
looks lonesome these days said an old West
End citizen to Journal reporter. at is used
very little-some a whole week passing
without a half dozen vehicles going through It,
1t isn't because it is unsafe for old as It is, /
would rather risk it now than any bridge across
the river here; but because it is off the line of
travel. It has had its share of travel, though,
For many years it was the only bridge spanning
the river at this locality. and it was then never
lonesome for the want of travel It used to be a
toll bridge, and was a source of great revenue
to the parties owning it, After it was made free
young men hard up frequently went out there
and collected toll from Innocent travellers, and so
police had to be called on to end it If those
dark and dingy walls could talk have no doubt
they would tell some queer tales of tragedies en-
acted within its walls. Long before and
during the war, it was a great rem
devious for thieves AMI highwaymen,
and scores of men were held up and re-
ieved of their cash while passing through it.
There have also been several well grounded ru-
mors of men having been murdered, robbed and
then dropped into the stream below, but do
not know that there is any truth in these old
tales. At any rate the old bridge is an interest.
ing landmark, and unless it is torn down will
remain for perhaps another half century to re-
mind children of the pioneer days of their an
cestors"
