per, feet square and 10 feet high.
Upon this a bronze globe s feet in di-
ameter will be placed, and on this the
statue, Indiana" thirty feet high,
will stand. The pose of this figure
will make a striking silhouette effect
against the sky and its expression
from every point of view is the Ella
tion of victory. In it is combined all
that is represented beneath. 1t is
the poem of the monument. The
sword, held in the right hand with
the point turned down, typifles the
power Of the army, to which the vic
tory is due; the young eagle upon the
head is emblematic Of the freedom
resulting from that victory; and the
torch, carried aloft in the left hand,
is the light of the civilization re-
sulting from that victory and that
freedom.

There are three astragals. The
first is twelve feet beneath the cap

periods of the State. The second is

LEGISLATORS In BAD HUMOR.
One Threw an Inkstand at His Colleagues and
Then Pulled q Little Mans Nose.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 26.-"Did you
throw that lnkstand at mef" demanded
Representative William Burke, of Chicago,
advancing on Representative Carson, of
Champaign county, In the lower house of
the Illinois Legislature to-day.
"Yes, / did," answered the Champaign
member. who. though short. is plucky and
was full of rage.

said Burke. land / have Q notion to pull
your nose"
"You dassen't do it," snapped Carson:
Burke's only reply was to reach forward.
seize Carson's nose firmly and give il sew
eral hard twists; then he walked away,
leaving Carson sDeechless with rage.
The legislators are still feeling In bad
humor-had their noses ont of JOINT. as one
member ey pressed it-0ver the news that
the worlds fair committee on ceremonies
had decided not to admit the members of
the Legislature TO the platform on opening
day. Several statesmen" were consoling
themselves by throwing paper wads about
the House. One of these wads struck Mr..
Carson on the head. He grabbed q heavy
inkstand and, with an oath, hurled it at
the jewellers. All lodged, and the heavy
missile barely grazed Representative Zim-
merman's head and crashed against the
side of the room. Then 1t was that Mr..
Burke capped the climax. There is talk of
expelling Burke and Representative Car

HOSPITAL SECRETS
They Often Meet With Cases
Which Battle Them.
And the Very Cases They Fail in
Yield to a Simple Remedy
The Curiosity of People Amply Sat-
isfed on This Subject.

1t may not be fair to publish the secrets of hos
pitfalls, but very often they make failures to cure
when a wellknown remedy has afterwards per-
fectly and completely cured.
A wellknown and highly respected gentleman,
W. n. Lowers by name, who resides at III East
Hamtramck street, Mt. Vernon, Ohio, tells his
experience as follows:
Two years ago I was taken down with rheu-
matism, and the doctors could give ne but little
relief, and / spent all I had and was no better.
In fact, 1 got worse, and 1 suffered beyond de-
scription.
al was taken to st. Francis Hospital at Column
bus. where the best doctors of the State could
try their skill. 1 got no better.
'Then they took me to st. Anthony Hospital in
the same city. The doctor said I could not get
well, that nothing would cure me.
"I went home thinking l never could get we'll.
I got worse and l went to the drug store to get
something to relieve me OF my suffering. 1
talked with the drus gist about DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. and l got q
bottle of 1t and commenced us ng it.

The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-09-07
A Deadly Tree.

The cannibal tree of Australia grows
in the form of a gigantic pineapple,
seldom reaching height exceeding
ten or twelve feet. Its height, how
ever. is not criterion to its diameter,
as the reader will imagine when told
that one eight feet in height may be
five feet through at the base. The
''leaves'' resemble broad planks and
are frequently fifteen feet long. twen-
ty inches broad and one and half feet
thick at the base. These board-lil1e
leaves all put out at the top and hang
down so as to form sort Of umbrella
around the stem. Upon the apex Of
the cone around which these leaves
concentrate are two concave figures,
resembling dinner plates, one above
the other. These are constantly filed
with an Intoxicating honey. A bird
may light upon the edge of these or q
man or an animal may walk up the
leaves to indulge in stolen sweets; but
death is the penalty for such rashness.
The instant the honey receptacles are
touched the leaves close like a trap and
squeeze the life out Of the meddler.
After awhile the leaves will relax their
vise-like grasp, the horrid tenacles will
slowly unfold and nature has set her
trap for another victim.

Troublesome Neishbors.

The wild Cossacks. living away down
in the southernmostp part of the Russian
empire spend most of their time har-
assing the Turks. They are peculiarly
savage in appearance. Their uniform
is the Cossack coat, full trousers, scar
let undercoat hooked up to the neck,
big boots, and as an overcoat they
wear bourka, circular cloak made
of coarse felt with long, shaggy hair
on one side of it. This cloak is big
enough to cover the rider and much Of
the horse. The most distinctive point
in their dress, however, is the cylin-
drical hat of black astrakan which
they wear at all seasons. The top is
of cloth or velvet. They form part of
the Russian cavalry and live principal
ly on plumber, stealing during their
raids into Turkey anything they can
find, from chicken TO q child.
