The appointment of j. N. Langham, ESQ.,,
as postmaster in Indiana, meets with great
satisfaction to the patrons of the Office, both
Republicans and Democrats. The canvass

fight was harmonious. leaving no unpleas-
ant reminders in its van. The sentiment
here to-day is Congressman Huff has made
the proper selection.
Mr.. Langham is one of the best known
young lawyers in the county. For quite a
number of years he has lived in Indiana
and was always interested in anything which
would benefit the town. He has always
been straightout Republican and has
been a hard worker for his party. .
The appointment will help Mr.. Huff's
second candidacy for his present office
greatly.

What a Dispute Between Apia ofhcia's Has
Disclosed to View,

APIA, SAMOA, March 3-A serious dis
agreement between the Land Commissioners
and the Chief Justice has occurred in
regard to the settlement of land claims.
The Chief Justice claims that he has
the power to reopen all the cases sthat are
disputed by the natives, while the Land
Commissioners think differently. A meet
ing of the Commissioners and Chief Justice
was held to settle the difficulty, but no
agreement was reached. and the Commits
sioners decided to write to their respective
powers for instructions.
1t is stated that the chief justice is
anxious to have the claims forwarded to
him to get the fees for his clerks. He pro-
poses charging $12 for each claim and as
there are $500 claims in, the clerks will
obtain a large sum from fees. At the rate
the Chief Justice allows for copying it is
estimated that q clerk could earn a 900 q
month by working six hours q day.

woolen and wool schedules introduced are
satisfactory to me. We want free wool,

lower than it was in the Mills bill. I think

give our people chance under free trade.

careful. We never carried New York

Ex-Congressmar John Cessna is down with

with pneumonia, and his friends were
alarmed. To-day he is resting easier, and
if nothing happens he will pull through.
His sickness will keep him from making o
canvass for some weeks to come for the
Legislature, and it is feared that unless his
friends go to work the Quay people will
succeed in defeating him.

Vegetable Die, for EpIl.p,.o..

Whether the theory of the explo sicn of nitrogen in the brain sub stance as the cause of epileptic seiz- ure be trre or not would appear quite certain. according to Dr. Fer g,ison. a practitioner of wide obser vation and experience in this spe- cialty. that the rnalady is aggravated in the case of patients who are sub jected to a nitrogenous diet--a fact which seems to have been confirmed by multiplied clinical instances and abundant experimentation.
 Dr. Ferguson, therefore. acting on the strength of such a fact, states that he has subjected his epileptics to Q strict vegetable diet. and not only this, but has wholly dispensed with the use of drugs. His method has given in his hands excellent re- suits, especially in well marked cases of status epihpticus. the non-nitrog enous vegetable diet alone doing bet ter service than the bromides with out diet restriction.

Deepe.s Lake In the world.

By far the deepest lake known in the world is Lake Baikal. in Siberia. It is in every way comparable with some of the great lakes of America; for, while it's area is only Q. 900 square miles, making it much smaller than the three largest of our five great lakes and about the exact equal to Lake Erie in superficial extent, it's enormous depth, 4.o00 to 5000 feet, makes the total volume of its waters almost equal to those of Lake Supe- rior. Its level is 1850 feet above that of the Pacific ocean. but, not withstanding, its bottom is moro than 5000 feet below it
 There are many other deep lakes in the world, but so far Baikal takes the palm. Lake Maggiore is 5000 feet deep. Lake Como 3. 900 and Lego di-Garda. another Italian lake, near ly 1900 feet in depth Lake Con stance averages about 1.0o0 feet and Lakes Superior and Michigan about 800 feet--St Louis Republic

 At first the Indians were sullen. but they soon melted enough to tell the story of their grievances. The new agent had been robbing them in the most barefaced manner. and in their ignorance they imagined it to be Captain Byrne's duty to regulate all the affairs in his camp They did not want to hurt him and would let him go safely back. but for them there was nothing but the warpath.

Strong as is the constitution of the donkey, the animal lacks vital force to supply the needs of both ears and tail, and the latter suffers. As the donkey realizes what a ridiculous failure his tail is. it makes him mad and causes him to kick habitually, thus placing all who cultivate his ac- quaintance in continual peril. The remedy is simple. Remove the ears, thus restoring the constitutional equilibrium, and see what a beaut- ful tail will develop and how the donkey's disposition to kick will dis ppear.-Hartford Times.
