years left them in which to fight
their battles over again, and so they
come together once each year in
greater numbers than when the or
ganization was younger.
This year the encampment is to
be held in the west, and Indianapo-
lis has been chosen as the city.
From a sentimental as well as a
utilitarian point of view the choice
was a fitting one. Thousands of
veterans remember the Hoosier cap
ital as a pleasant camping point go
ing to and returning from the front.
indianapolis is the birth place Of
the organization as well as a con-
venient railroad center, with large
hotel and boarding accommodations,
wide streets, and in all respects well
adapted as a meeting place. 1t is
within thirty-fve miles of the GEN.
ter of population of the United
States and about the center of
membership of the G. A.. r. 1t is
near Chicago and fully three-fourths
of the visitors to the Worlds Fair
can pass through it without going
out of their way. With the ex-
ceptionally favorable rates that will
be allowed by all railways having
Indianapolis connections, the COM
ing encampment can be attended
by Worlds Fair visitors at mini
mum cost. Seven lines of railway
connect indianapolis with Chicago
and the running time between the
two cities is six hours.
The arrangements for the enter
tainment and amusement of the
veterans will be the most liberal
that have ever been made. A fund
of $150,000 has been raised by the
citizens of indianapolis for,expenses,
and the plans are of character
that assure the old veterans the
greatest encampment in the history
of the Grand Army.
Indianapolis has already been
Systematically canvassed for board
ing places. Accommodations at a
moderate price are at present avail
bic for many thousands. Persons
who desire to be sure of comforta-
bic quarters are put in the way of
securing them by the Citizens Elk
ecutive Board of the encampment.
All who are unable to secure accom-
odatlons in hotels and boarding
houses will be provided for in bar
racks.

(From the Syracuse Standard.

(From the Syracuse Standard
During the past few months there have
appeared In the columns of the Standard
the particulars of number of cures so
remarkable as to justify the term miracu-
lous. These cases were investigated aud
vouched for by the Albany journal, the
Detroit News, Albany Express, and other
papers whose reputation is a guarantee
that the facts were as stated. That the
term miraculous was justified will be ad-
mitted when II is remembered that In each
OF the cases referred to the sufferer had
been pronounced incurable by leading
physicians, and at least one OF the cases
was treated by men whose reputation
has placed them among the leaders OF
the worlds medical scientists, but with
out avail, and the patient was sent to his
home with the verdict that there was no
hope for him, and that only death could
intervene to relieve his sufferings. When
some months later the restoration TO
health and strength Of the former sufferer
was announced 1t Is little wonder that the
case created profound sensation through
out the country. Recently the following
letter, which indicated an equally re-
markable cure, came under the notice OF
the Standard:
Solsville, N. Y, June 20, 1892.
Five weeks ago father, Philander Hyde,
was very low and not expected to live but
a short time. He was In such agony that
we had to give him morphine to relieve
the terrible pain from which he was suf-
ferine. The doctors had given him up.

A Great Reunion of Veterans.

The growth of the Grand Army
of the Republic, since its organiza-
ton in 1865, has been rapid and
widespread beyond the widest hopes
of its origin. Ten States
were represented in the meeting at
which it was founded. To-day
twenty-seven years later, it COM
prises forty-fve departments, seven
ty-fve hundred posts, and nearly
half million members. Within
the last few years, certainly within
ten or twelve, its Annual Encamp-
ments have grown to enormous pro-
portions. AT the encampment held
in Washington last year, it was esti-
mated that not less than three hum
dred thousand people were in at
tendance. The veterans seem to
realize that there will not be many

A PURE FOOD BILL
Before the Michigan Legislature.

(Lansing Journal
"A bill for the preservation of the pub
lie health, and to provide against fraud
and adulteration in food, drink and
drugs has been introduced in the Legis-
lature at Lansing, by Mr.. Newkirk. This
bill is intended to prevent the adultera-
ton of food and drink, and should 1t be-
come law, would no doubt go great
way toward protecting the public against
the manufacturers OF Alum and Ammonia
baking powders. The leading medical
authorities everywhere condemn the use
of Alum in baking powders.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to the
question of legislation OH Alum and Am
monia baking powders, says: 1T deals
in direct manner with an evil that must
be cut down."
Following is partial list of the names
of the brands sold In this state that have
been examined and found to contain either
Alum or Ammonia. Many Of tho Alum
and Ammonia powders are labeled and
advertised as absolutely pure" in order
to mislead the public:
"Kenton," Calumet" Chicago
Yeast" Grants Bon Bon," Hotel"
Forest City," "Silver Star" Monarch"
"Rocke," "Home," Perfection" "Un-
ilNulch, iONh ldih, hOydi, CllOW
Ball." Climax" Western Prince"
Grown" "White Cross" "Fos Fon,"
Imperial"
In addition to the above list there is a
multitude of brands sold with prize.
1t is safe to reject all baking powders
sold with prize, as the test shows they
are composed largely of Alum and cost
but few cents pound. Also refuse
any baking powder sold for twenty-five
cents pound, or less; 1t is sure to contain
Alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with unwholesome baking powders, at
the risk of health Aside from the ques-
ton of health or wholesomeness, and
viewed from the standpoint Of economy
alone, pure grape cream Of tartar bak-
ing powder like CDR. Prices" from its
greater known strength and unquestioned
purity will prove more economical to the
user in every way.

The attempt of the capitalists of
of New York City to compel the
government to issue bonds proved a
failure. For once the eastern
capitalists discovered they could not
dictate the financial affairs of this
country. President Cleveland and
Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle
sensibly decided that there was no
necessity for making debt bearing
interest for the people to pay while
so many millions of dollars OF gold
lay in the treasury. This country
has become too large for small
body of capitalists to rule for their
own interests.

GENTLEMEN.-In March of last year,
presented to the Council bill of $S3 Sc,
for amount paid for labor in laying Maple
street sewer, from Fourth street to Second
street. Accompanying the bill were the
Street Commissioners vouchers for the en-
tire amount. BY resolution of the Council,
this sewer has been opened TO the public,
and is used by the public throughout its en-
tire length, no other sewer being available.
Its length is 900 feet, its depth is amply
sufficient TO answer every purpose, and its
working is perfect. The undersigned has

A SERIOUS DEFEcT.-A dispatch from
1nancock, Accomac comfy, says: sNIr.
James IL. Fletcher, ir., Commonwealth's at
torncy for Accomac, has discovered 4 very
serious defect in the Virginia oyster law.
While framing an indictment against George
Rcvel, Il negro claiming to be from Lancas-
ter county, who was recently arrested for
catching oysters i'll Virginia waters without
license, Mr.. Fletcher discovered that the
General Assembly iii enacting the law had
forbidden the taking of oysters with tongs
without a license, but, strangely enough, had
failed to provide any penalty for the otlense
Revel was thercupon dismissed from custody
on the motion of the CONFERENCE.-The attor
ney, there being no law by which he could he
punished. This is very serious defect ii
the law. as will be seen when it is known thai
every tongman in Virginia might have failed
to.pay the license tax to the State during tht
past season without mourning any penalty
Presidents arc punished under auothc,
provision Of the oyster law
