A VETERANS VERDICT.
The War IS Over. A WeII-known Sol
der, Correspondent and Journal
list Makes a Disclosure.

Indiana contributed her thousands Of brave
soldiers to the war, ard 70 state bears a bet
ter record in that respect than it does. In
literature it is rapidly acquiring an
enviabie place. In war and literature
solomon Yewell. we'll known as a writer as
Sol, has won an honorable position. Dur
ing the late war he was a member of Co. nj,
I'd. n. y. Cavalry and of the 18th Indiana In
iantry Volunteers Regarding an important
circumstance he writes as follows:
several of us old veterans here are using
DR.. Miles RESTORATIVE Nervine. Heart Cure
and Nerve and Liver Pills, all Of them giving
splendid satisfaction. In fact, We have never
used remedies that compare with them. Of
the Pills we must say they are the best com.
bnation of the qualities required in a prep
aratiOn of their nature we have ever known
We have none but words of praise for them
They are the Outgrowth of a new principle in
medicine, and tone up the system wonder
fully. We say TO all, try these remedies"

The Situation BriChtens,

There is now a cheerful prospect
that within a week or two the present
financial scare will not only be q
thing of the past, but almost forgot
ten.
One of the causes of the withdraw
al of gold was the fear that the treas
ury would not be able to maintain
gold payments. 1t should be remem-
bered in this connection that not all
the gold drawn from the treasury
was shipped abroad. A very large
proportion of it went into the Golfers
of the New York bankers in anticipa-
ton of the yellow metal going to a
premium. The determined attitude
of the government has restored con-
fidence in this respect, for the pres
ent at least, and already the banks
have begun to return a portion of
their hoard to the treasury in ex-
change for the more convenient pa
per. Instead of the usual daily los.
the treasury one day last week gained
$2,OOO,O 900 in gold, and the likelihood
is that this condition of affairs will
continue for some time. The stock
market promptly responded to the
changed conditions and there was in
mediately a considerable rise. In
view of the direful predictions of
politicians, financiers and newspa-
pers it would be rather ludicrous if
the treasury were shortly to be
troubled with surplus rather than
by deficiency. Such an event is
now very probable. The proposed
sale of 800, 100000 of gold bonds
will lift the treasury surplus to over
5000, 900, 900, of which $3.50, 900, 900
will be in gold. In addition, the in
come tax, it is now thought, will
bring in $25. 900. 600 a year more than
was at first estimated, and the treas
ury officials calculate that from this
time on the natural revenues of the
government derived from the new
customs and internal revenue law
will gradually increase.
1t is therefore very likely that
within short period the present
scare will be laid upon the shelf
along with other matters of ancient
history which at the time pessimists
were certain would quickly send the
country to the demnition bow vows.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich, Feb. 6.-The ham,

in state of terror from Whitecaps, who

The collision between the ocean

was similar to that between the Elbe

The former disaster occurred off the
