The Australian Ballot Inv.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
1t is wonderful what a difference it makes
whose OK is gored. AS long as the Demo-
Gratis were successful at the polls they made
no complaint against the Australian system
of voting. but now, after suffering a de-
feat, we begin to hear objections, and all
at once thsy discover that the system is
wrong. Some OF them even go so far as to
attribute the cause of their defeat to ii,
giving as a reason that it is too secret,
taking away the fear of the party whip,
and in that way leaving the party mana
gers in the dark as TO how electors will
cast their ballots. Why, bless their dear
souls. hat is one of the best features of
the Australian system. BY that means,
when a party gets too corrupt, the electors
are enabled to retire an administration and
put into the Offices men who are pledged
to give them an honest administration.
Under the old system this was harder TO do,
as corrupt men could hold as a club the
manner of voting OF members of their party,
and in this way help to keep them out of
office. But i am afraid these Democrats
who are opposing the Australian system will
find IL harder to convince the people that
their objections are based on patriotic mo-
tiveS. l believe q majority of the people
think this is one of the best measures
passed by a Democratic Legislature.

The Society viii Continue.

When the Christian Endeavor Society of
the Second Presbyterian Church was organ
ized. its regular meetings were held before
the church services on Sunday night. At
forwards this was changed, and the meet
ings were held on Thursday night. Imme-
diately after the change it was observed
h the attendance fell off materially and
there was a lack of interest in
the work. This caused a PROPOSE
ton for the d~isbanding of the So
ciety to be preached by some OF its men,
bers. A meeting of the society was held
at the church last night. before services,
at which the question of ~disbanding was
considered. 1t was proposed TO change the
meeting night TO Sunday and TO revive the
society. This met with universal approval
and was adopted Hereafter the meetings
will be held on Sunday night, and it is
hoped that the oldtime spirit will prevail.
1t was found that a number of young per-
sons who were attending school found il
difficult to attend the meetings on Thurs
day night, hence the change.

WHERE BUSINESS HAS GONE.
Queer Way in Which In Fair Cut
Down Sfock-Yurds Profits.

For some months past w. p. Ijams, pres
ident of the Belt Road and ~Stockyards
Company, has been unable to understand
why the business at the yards was so light.
He knew that at the Indianapolis market
better prices were paid and that stock for
shipment East which was fed and rested
at this point made much better time than
when shipped via Chicago, yet he missed a
large number of shippers who had shipped
via Indianapolis in former years. Last
week the whole matter was cleared up.
Shipments of stock by the old-time ship
pers began to come in here, and, with
them, the shippers themselves, and when
inquiry was made it was found that they
had been shipping during the worlds fair
to Chicago, and each time they shipped
there got passes for themselves or friends,
and this enabled them to visit the worlds
fair several times while it was open and
sell their stock as we'll. In returning to
this market they say it is far preferable
to that of Chicago in many respects. and
they expect to continue to ship here, as
Chicago has no worlds fair attraction. On
one day last week eight shippers came to
this market who had been shipping to Chi
cage to get free transportation to the fair.

The CITY Tests 1t.

New YORK, June 19.-The Recorder will de-
tail tomorrow the cure of several consump-
tive patients at Wards Island under the dl-
rection of the city authorities. AS only char
ity patients in the last stage of consumption
are admitted there, the Recorder claims the
cure, for which it awarded DIR. w. r. Amick,
of Cincinnati, $1,000, has accomplished
something almost miraculous. 1t says also
that the Cincinnati doctor has agreed to
keep the hospital supplied with medicines
for all consumptive cases at his own expense
as only third stage cases are taken there
no more severe test could be invited. While
it is now generally admitted that the Amick
discovery is certain specific in the earlier
stages of consumption, Amick has never here,
tofore claimed that it would cure more than 20
per cent. of third stage consumptives. In this
test just made by the city three out of four were
either cured or astonishingly benefited. 1t
is easy enough for any sufferers from the
disease to test the new discovery through
their family physician, for Amick sends
medicines ~ this purpose free of cost, and
invites impartial test of it by the medical pro-
fessiOn everywhere,

Bank cashiers and tellers are in

A gentleman Of high character, who
lives in New York, found himself
obliged to get a draft chashed at
bank in a small New England town
some time ago The town was the
place Of the gentleman's early home,
and he was known and respected by
almost every resident. But the tel
Ter, after glancing at the signature
on the draft said briskly: "You

Don't you know me?" asked the
presenter Of the draft

"Well, l am acquainted with
pretty nearly everybody in town, :"
said the gentleman. There is Mr..

leading merchant of the place, whose
store was few rods from the bank.

the street with the presenter OF the
draft. The merchant was summing
himself in the doorway OF his store
Say, do you know this man?" asked
the teller. "Yes, sir, / am proud TO
know him." was the quick reply.
Without smother word the teller re-
turned to the bank and cashed the

erably amused, asked, as he pocketed
the money: us that what you call

A11ered Insurance swindle.

ArcH1soN, KAN, June 19.-L. K. Brown,
treasurer of the local lodge of the Knights of
Columbia, called a meeting of the lodge to
consider the advisability of disbanding. The
late J. f. Lee was a member of the order,
and his family should have received So 600
insurance on his life, but they have never re-
ceived cent. The members of the Atchi-
son lodge have already paid about twenty
five assessments for deaths, and an investl-
CATION failed to find where the money went.
Mr.. Brown was in Topeka. but failed TO get
any satisfaction from the head officers. The
Atchison members paid a death assessment
two months ago on a Topeka man, but his
family have not yet received the money.
ToPEKA-It appears that the reason the
above death claim was not paid is because
the insured was a drunkard; which, under
the laws of most insurance companies, OF
whatever character, vitiates the policy.
