Daily. Sunday and Weekly.


hitherto unable to afford the lux
ury of a hrst-class daily paper. Re
ports from agents and subscriber
indicate the result which was TO be
expected, namely, that what was
first regarded as a luxury has be-
come a necessity, and that the new
readers not only remain, but their
list is constantly increasing.
1t is the purpose of the Journal
to make itself even more indispens-
able to its patrons, new and old,
and to still further widen its field.
To this end it will not only endeav-
or to maintain the characteristics
which have established its reputa-
ton as by far the best newspaper in
Indiana, but will add such new
features and Improvements from
time 10 time as are in accord with
journalistic progress and that may
tend to the advantage of its readers.
1t will, for example, give increased
attention to State and local inter-
ests. What Indianians want is a
paper in which Indiana affairs are
given especial prominence and i'm
portance. This want the Journal
has always supplied as n o other
paper published outside or inside
the State is able to do; but the rap
idly-developing industries and busi-
ness and social enterprises of the
community call for additional con-
sideration and space. With this in
view its corps of correspondents
has been increased until it has a rep
resentative in nearly every town in
the State. Special travelling CORE
spondents will visit the news
centers of the State at frequent in
tervals, thus insuring the "write-
up" of every important event or
matter of general interest.
Being published in the g~eograph-
ical center of Indiana the Journal is
afforded unusual facilities for secur-
ing news promptly, and, what is of
even greater consequence, IS able
to reach its subscribers without de-
lay. The running of morning trains
from Indianapolis is very favorable
to the early distribution of papers
sent by mail or express, and in
most towns within a radius of a
hundred miles Journals are delivered
as early as in the city where they
are printed. In the more remote
counties there is but little loss OF
time in transportation.
The Journal is the paper for Indi-
anians and particularly for Indiana
Republicans. Although the cam
paign is ended, the coming session
of Congress and subsequent change
of administration involve political
problems and proceedings likely to
be of the most direct personal con-
Germ to every farmer and business
man in the State. All such mat
tiers will be set forth in detail, the
Journals Washington correspond
ent being instructed to give especial
attention to everything having a
possible bearing on Indiana in
terests.
But though the Journal is Repub-
lican in politics it is non-partisan in
the publication of news. Its con-
slant endeavor is to secure facts un-
biased by prejudice and to make
its columns trustworthy records of
each days happenings. A large
editorial force supplements the work
of the press associations and the
correspondents, and furnishes care
full supervision for each department.
The Sunday Journal has a we'll
established literary character supe-
rior to that of any Western paper.
1t is not defaced by "plate matter"
nor filled with a heterogeneous
mass of syndicate literature, but its
contributions and miscellany are
chosen with a view to their special
fitness and adaptability to the tastes
of the readers. The reading mat
ter in any given number of the Sum-
day Journal is equal in quantity and
is not inferiorin quality 10 that found
in the leading magazines. AS an
educational adjunct and a source of
entertainment the Sunday Journa-
is indispensable il every w~ell-regul
lated family.
The Weekly Journal, at 81 per
year, contains more reading matter
than can be obtained for the money
in any other shape. 1t is carefully
edited and offers the news of the
week in condensed shape and a
variety of miscellany, agricultural
and household literature that render
it one of the best investments that
any family can make. Try it and
see. 1t has a large circulation in
this and other States and agents
find it an easy matter to secure
large lists of subscribers. Specia-
inducements offered to agents. Girl
culars sent on application.
