Why its character should remain so
fixed and Interchangeable through
centuries. Many, perhaps most, natural
mineral waters cannot be counterfeited
by human skill. Natures processes are
too delicate and too perfect to be imi-
tated. The mineral waters mixed by
man are crude compared with those dis

all these things in their greatest purity
and how to mix them in exact and up-
varying proportions. She is a perfect
chemist as she is perfect artist, and
when she puts mineral water before
the public as finished article there is
no use trying to improve on it. She has
done some of her beet work in Indiana.

FALL RIVERS MYSTERIOUS CRIME.

If the authorities of Fall River, Mass.
have any good reason for the arrest of
Miss Lizzie Borden for the murder of her
father and step-mOther, no harm could
be done to the cause of justice by max
ing it public, and they would themselves
appear in a much better light. AS it is.
the unnecessary ndowlish silence OBJ
served by most of the legal function
aries, and the entirely inadequate theo-
ries, not proofs, that others offer as to
the guilt of the young woman give rise
to b elief that these local Dogberries
have arrested Miss Borden, not because
they have any proof of her participation
in or knowledge of the crime, but be-
cause they cannot find any one else who
might have done the deed, and in order
to show that they are doing something
to earn their salaries. Not a shadow
of motive for the commission of the
murder has been offered save the
gossip of n servant and certain neigh
bors as to family disagreements grow
ing out of the wealthy fathers lack of
generosity in money matters with his
daughters-storles that are disputed by
equally good authority. Even if the
tales are true, it is most improbable, it
is incredible, that woman of the re-
pute and character of Miss Borden
would resort to such brutality by way
of revenge. Such an act on her part
could only be accounted for on the
ground that she was seized with a fit of
maniacal rage, and this has not been
suggested. nor was there. apparently,
any sign of it before or after the dis
covery of the murder. Miss Borden,
woman of sedate manner and retiring
nature, active in church work and
we'll liked by her acquaintance.
Assuming that she had deliber-
ately decided upon the removal"
of her parents it is beyond belief that
she would adopt SO horrible method
and perpetrate the act at a time when
the servant was in the house and with
in hearing, and when visitors were
likely to come to the door at any mo-
ment. Murderers, 1T has been said, are
sure, in spite of precautions, to leave
some clew to their identity. but in this
case Miss Borden, if guilty, escaped
being caught in the act merely by
chance, and not through her own fore
sight. As matters stand now it looks
very much as if an outrage had been
committed upon an innocent woman by
incompetent police authorities.

INDIANK,E MINERAL WATERS,

There are noreI than eight thousand
known mineral springs In the United
States. of which about eight hundred
have been analysed. and quite num-
Der found equal if net superior to those
of highest repute in the old world. The
only reason why the celebrated springs
of Europe are more famous is because
they have been known SO much longer,
and their virtues have been more sys-
tematically and thoroughly tested. In
the course of time many of the mineral
springs in this country will be as wide
ly known and their virtues as well at
tested as any of those of Europe. In
fact, this is almost true of some of our
springs now. a
Recent discoveries have shown that
Indiana is rich in mineral waters. Some
of its springs have been known and
hygienic qualities have been tested be-
yond any doubt. while others are of
more recent discovery and are not SO
we'll known. In the latter class belong
the waters of the deep wells like those
at Martinsville, Spencer and other
points. These wells were bored for
natural gas, but resulted In finding in
stead an inexhaustible supply of min
erai w alter possessing specific qualities
of great value. Indeed, these waters
have such fine hygienic qualities that it
is questionable whether in the long
run they will not prove more valua-
BILE than the finding of natural gas
would have done. There are many
of these wells throughout the State. liv-
ing springs of medicinal water care
fully compounded in the secret labOra-
tory of nature with more than human
skill and furnished forth at the call of
man to cure or alleviate some of the
most obstinate ills that human flesh is
heir to. Each one of these wells is
really mineral spring of rare quality
and inexhaustible supply. They are a
material addition to the natural re-
sources of the State. and a score or two
of years hence they will be widely
known and patronized.
The origin of mineral waters Is thought,
by some, to be surrounded by mystery,
but this is not the case. All mineral
waters are simply part of the aqueous
circulation of the earth. They are pure
waters charged with minerals. Water
il the greatest solvent in nature. No
known substance can resist solution by
it. Wherever it comes in contact with
solids it absorbs something. 1t lie
always picking up something. In it's
descent through the air and it's journey
to the deepest recesses of tie earth it lie
continually dissolving and absorbing
mineral matter. Analyses of mineral
waters show that their basic ingredients
in almost every instance correspond
with the composition of the rocks from
whence they come. but human science
is utterly unable to explain the exact

The well-known correspondent, Mr..
w. A. CrOffut, who has been looking
the matter up. says that there are no
confirmed drunkards in either branch
of Congress at the present time. and
adds that it is statement which could
not have been made few years since.
In an article on the subject he goes back
years and shows that inebriation was a
common thing on the floors of Congress
during the sO-called "earlier and better
days of the Republic" A tipsy Con-
gresham would disgust the whole body
of his associates should he appear among
them now, while years ago such dis-
graceful exhibition would have been
laughed at as joke.

Mr.. CHARLES G. Conn, Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Thirteen tn
district, publishes paper called Truth,
ut Elkhart. Not long ago he said ed
itorially:
Aspiring leaders of Democracy who be-

true ipwardness of the Democratic party.

4 sCANDALOUe RECORD.

There has been good deal said and
written about the modern crime of in
fuencing legislation by means of money.
but it is doubtful if there ever was G
clearer demonstration of the existence
of the evil than is furnished by the
speech of Supreme Justice" Somerby,
delivered before the executive commit
tee of the Iron Hall. The speech was
delivered at meeting of the committee
held in January, 1891, and Is brought
out in the present legal proceedings,
having been geographically reported
Iron Hall could not possibly bring any
thing against the order as damaging
we had almost written as damnable
as this speech of its highest officer.
In it he practically admitted that the
future prosperity of the order depended
on its securing favorable legislation in
certain States; that such legislation must
be secured by money, ana that he had
been engaged in that kind of work in
other States at great risk to himself
and his reputation. As a result of
this speech and of the urgency
of the Supreme Justice" in represent
ing the necessity of using money
to secure favorable legislation, he was
given wide-open authority to employ any
aid and incur any expense necessary to
that end, whenever and wherever he
saw fit. This is an infamous record.
No end can justify such means. If the
objects of the Iron Hall were as holy and
sacred as those of the Christian Church
they would not Justify the use of money
to influence legislation. Nothing can
justify that. 1t is crime against society
and treason to the State. The corpora
ton, association, society or individual
that engages in it Is unfit to enjoy the
protection of the laws or the benefits of
American citizenship. By his treatment
of this subject, by the GOODNESS with
which he urged the Importance of using
money to influence legislation, and
by his own confession of what he
himself had done in that direction
supreme Justice" SOmerby has shown
that however gifted he may be in other
directions he is incapable of appreciat-
ing the moral quality of a crime against
the State. In SO far as the prosperity of
the Iron Hall is due to legislation thus
obtained it is the fruit of infamy and a
badge of disgrace. Without assuming
to pass upon the record of the Iron Hall
In other respects at this time the Jour-
nal does not hesitate to say that its

FARM MORTGAGES IN DIFFERENT STATES

A comparison of the mortgages on
Eastern, Middle Western and North
ern States, as returned by the Census
Office. presents some interesting facts.
Kansas is one of the new States in which
settlement has been rapid, and where
the ratio of unincumbered to mortgaged
farms is as large as any in the Union.
In the statistics presented the whole
State is not given, but counties in diff
ferent localities which are assumed to
represent the whole. Ohio is one of the
older agricultural States whose agri-
cultural population no longer represents

COLONEL KING, the gentlemanly muir
derer, whose sentence was committed
by Governor Buchanan, is treated with
distinguished consideration. While on
the way to prison, after the commuta-
tion, he desired drink of whisky, and
the sheriff stopped the carriage long
enough for the Colonel to satisfy his
desire. Arrived at the prison. he had a
brief interview with mis- wife. after
which he again asked for whisky. and it
was again given him. The officers are
evidently disposed to make things as
pleasant as possible for him.

President this money was gradually
called in, and, with the rest of the sur
plus and the accruing money, was de-
voted to the canceling of $3.50. 900. 600 of
interest bearing bonds in the course Of
three years. Then the Mckinley law
was enacted and the sugar consumers

$50, o00,0 900 year which. before that
date, they paid out of their pockets into
the treasury. Then, keeping the pledges
of the party to the old soldiers, Con-
grees passed a pension law that takes
$50. 900 a year. That is, half the
surplus of the Cleveland period stays in
the pockets of sugar consumers and
half goes To the broken-down soldiers
