NEW REMEDY FOR HEADACHE
Walking Backward said to Be sure
Cure.

Cure.
An excellent and never failing cure
for nervous headache" said an apostle
of physical culture, lis the simple act
of walking backward. Just try it some
time if you have any doubt about it.
I have yet to meet the person who
didn't acknowledge its efficacy after a
trial Nobody has as yet discovered
or formulated a reason why such
process should bring such certain re-
lief. Physicians say that it is prob
ably because the reflex action of the
body brings about reflex action Of
the brain, and thus drives away the
pain that when induced by nervous
ness is the result of too much going
forward. Don't you know how at such
times you have the feeling that every
thing in your head is being pushed for
ward? AS soon as you begin to walk
backward, however, there comes
feeling of everything being reversed,
and this is followed by relief. The re-
lief is always certain and generally
speedy. Ten minutes is the longest I
have ever found necessary. An entry
or a long, narrow room makes the best
place for such a promenade. You
should walk very slowly letting the
ball Of your feet touch the floor first
and then the heel; just the way, in fact,
that one should, in theory, walk for
ward, but which, in practice, is SO rare
ly done Besides curing. zervous head
ache there is no bettes' way to learn
to walk well and gracefully forward
than the practice of walking back
ward. A half hour of it once a day
will do wonders toward improving the
gait of any woman. New York Even

Aug. 80, 1898, came near being the
birthday of Irish liberty. The dashing
Gen. Humbert had marched from the
northwest coast of the Green Isle to
strike at Dublin. He led 900 French
men and a contingent of patriots de-
nominated by the British as rebels
At Castelar, the column was met by
5000 regulars under Gen. Lake. Being
confident of a sweeping victory Lake
refused to make a plan of battle, but
proposed to finish the invasion and the
rebellion at one blow with a body Of
horse known as the Fox Hunters" IN
fact, Humbert himself gave up the fight
at the outset, but decided to go in just
for honor's sake. Moreover. he would
begin at once The attack was headed
by the Irish insurgents. who dashed
among the British cannon pellmell and
in a twinkling were moved down in
swaths. Then up marched Humbert's
French grenadiers, treading, with fixed
bayonets, the bloody road and losing
all semblance of line of battle at the
first volley. With the fragment OF
barely 500 men Humbert charged for
ward and so astonished the British that
the infantry broke, the artillerists fed
and the invincible British horse stam-
peded, manning more of their own peo-
pie in the mad ride than had been
touched by the enemy's bullets and
steel. Lake and his soldiers to man
fed for their lives. and Humbert
pushed on to within a days march OF
the goal without meeting an enemy.

NO MORE PADDING OF BILLS.
state Auditor Daily Puts ~ Stop to Al
Bad Practice.

State Auditor Daily has decided to stop
the practice OF many Of the State %institu-
tons in disregarding their appropriations
for their yearly expenses. 1t has been the
practice heretofore for the Auditor to pay
all bills presented from these institutions,
and If the money for the year became ex-
hausted, begin on the appropriation for the
next year. This did not seem right to Mr..
Daily, and he asked the Attorney-general
for an opinion. Mr.. Ketcham held, as stat
ed In the Journal yesterday, that the bills
of one year could not be paid out of the
appropriation for the next year. 1t seems
to have been the practice for many OF the
institutions TO be always behind, or rather
always ahead of their appropriations. The
fiscal year ends Oct. 81, and heretofore
many bills that were for payment OF eX-
penses for the closing year nave Deen al
lowed and drawn from the appropriation
for the next year.
Another practice that has been stopped,
or very nearly so, Is padding bills that are
rendered by different officers OF the state.
The most common of this kind OF stealing
from the State is the practice OF many
sheriffs to charge to the State many items
OF expense in carrying prisoners to the
penitentiaries that were not actually paid
out. Hotel bills, hack hire, guards and
many other things have been charged. 1t
is the common practice for sheriffs TO re-
main at the penitentiary at night when
ever they are compelled TO stay that long.

WHAT TAGGART TELLS ,EM.
He Says All saloon Laws Must he
Obeyed.

There were many callers at the Mayors
office yesterday. Mr.. Taggart, was present
most of the day. and those who came to
see him found him, that is, located him,
surrounded by a crowd which has not yet
ceased to talk about jobs. Among the CALI
ers of the day were many saloon men, who
came to sound the Mayor regarding the
law. 1t must be said that saloon violators
are greatly puzzled over the stand taken
by Mr.. Taggart. A number are wondering
IL this is "the Tom we voted for? Is
this the idol OF the ante-election days?"
In answer to all feeling. inquiries AIR.
Taggart responds, The avs will be en-
forced" This was the answer which a
number received yesterday. Two or three
reputed gamblers called during the day,
and they were given the same hard, harsh
words. A number of law-abiding citizens
called to urge MIR. Taggart to stand firm
against the efforts of the saloon men and
gamblers, and TO each he replied: 1.-The
laws will be enforced
1t was said yesterday by a friend of Mr..
Taggarts. who was a better friend before
the election than now, that the Mayor has
a gubernatorial bee buZzing in his bon
net, and. as a politician, he knows that he
need expect nothing unless the wishes of
the law and order element are considered.
This same friend declared that Air. Tag
CART meant just what he. said when he
declared that the laws are to be enforced.
and saloon-law violators and gamblers NAV
cease to hope.

ALLEGED TO BE KIDNAPPED.
sensational Terre Haute story Com
corning Matilda Rust.

For a month Matilda Rust. the nineteen
year-old daughter of August Rust. an en-
ploye of the Big Four at Brightwood. has
been missing from her home. The girl is a
'cyclist. and her father supposed she
was touring the State on her wheel
until yesterday. Al 4 o'clock Rust
was called to the police station,
where he heard a strange story con-
corning his daughter. The story related by
superintendent Colbert came from a woman
giving the name Of Hattie Parker. The
latter visited the superintendent in his Of
flee about noon yesterday. She said that
she had come from Terre Haute for the
sole purpose of saving a young girl from
an awful fate. She went on TO say that
Matilda Rust, of Brightwood. while riding
along one of the roads near Terre Haute,
was induced TO leave her wheel and go TO
a room over McPeak's restaurant. There,
the woman said. the girl is being detained
from day TO day. She Is IN the company
of three men, who watch every movement
she makes. When she goes on the street
one OF the men is always with her, and she
Is not allowed to make a complaint. The
Parker woman informed superintendent
Colbert that the girl managed TO get word
10 her and begged her TO let her parents
know OF her plight.
August Rust. the girls father, did not
appear agitated when the circumstances
were related to him, and was unwilling TO
spend any money IN reSculng MS oaugnter-

She got the bicycle fever, and would steal

The police here do not take much stock
in the story told by the Parker woman.
However. the Terre Haute- police will be
notified OF the girls alleged Imprisonment.
Last night the girls stepmother, Mrs.
Rust, when questioned. said:
There is no truth in the story of her
being kidnapped and kept in Terre Haute.

hers to get more notoriety."

CLEANING OF STREETS
TAGGART ADMINISTRATION WILL
ASK FOR MORE MONEY.
The Mayor still Remains Apparently
Obdurate To saloon Keepers' De-
mand for n sLet Up.-

The members OF the Board OF Works and
Mayor Taggart had a talk yesterday after
noon concerning the cleaning Of the streets.
Mr.. Taggart reported hat he was not at
all satisfied with the present condition OF
the streets. He said he had found by per-
sonal observation that many OF the down
town streets were carelessly cleaned, and
dirt was allowed TO accumulate near the
curbs. Clerk Parker, of the board, ex-
planned TO the Mayor the terms OF the con-
tracts. and pointed out whereby the ad-
ministration can have the streets cleaned
as often as desired. This brought forth an
other question, for IL 1t is desired TO have
the streets cleaned more frequently the
city must pay for the same, and the APP
preparation made for the purpose is barely
sufficient from a Democratic standpoint 10
cover the cost of the work. The appropria-
ton for the coming year is $50, 900. During
the season just ended it cost $59.534 for
street cleaning. The appropriation this
year is cut down, yet nearly 80 per cent. of
the work has been added. The appropria-
ton was fixed by the last Board Of Works,
for the members understood the work and
the inspector saw that the city obtained
full compensation for its expenditure. The
amount seems altogether too small, how
0'Dt VI eHC PAtoCAit
At the conference yesterday, Mr.. Taggart
said that the streets must be kept cleaned.
The wish was echoed by every member OF
the board. Parker said no criticism could
be offered to the manner in which the
streets were kept clean during the last ad-
ministration, and he added that a great deal
depended upon the efforts of the inspector.
He also said that more frequent cleanings
could be had at additional cost, but such
would not be allowed by the appropriation.
During the conference ii was said that
some contractors are sweeping cleanings
into catch basins, while others have loosely
constructed dirt wagons, which can be emp
tied by a few jolts over car tracks. Mr..
Taggart said the street-car tracks down
tow had not been swept.
1t was the sentiment of the gentlemen as
sembied that an additional appropriation
should be asked. Mr.. Austin suggested that
money from somewhere else be trans
ferred to the cleaning fund. The street.
cleaning contractors will be before the
board Friday, when their contracts will be
read TO them, and some suggestions made
concerning the work expected OF them.
