Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and il the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

Terre Haute Catholic Knights of Pythias
Refuse to Leave the Order.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 1.-The
Terre Haute Catholic Knights of
Pvthias have decided not to leave the
order, Notwithstanding the decree
from the propaganda at Rome. They
have held meetings, and by individual
conference finally concluded that the
church has no right to demand that
they should leave the order. The
church granted them permission to
enter the order and nothing has taken
place since which would render it any
more difficult for Catholic TO retain
his membership and church standing
at the same time. The truth is that
these Catholic knights are somewhat
encouraged in the position they have
taken by the known opposition of a
large majority of the clergy to the de-
cree. Bishop Chatard, of this diocese,
held the decree back as long as he
could. Some of his close personal
friends in Indianapolis are knights.
There has gone to Rome a statement
which it is expected will result in
either modification of the decree or
its withdrawal

Great Damage Being Done in Portions Of
Kentucky and Indiana.
CINCINNATI, April 1.-The CONNER
cial-Gazette's special from points in
western Kentucky and southern Indi-
ana report that the forest fires are still
raging, but definite information from
any localities is lacking. The loss is
estimated at $500, 900 in Kentucky and
less in Indiana. Dispatches from
Bowling Green, KY, say that miles
from there the homes of Otis Smith,
James Waters and Henry Filler were
burned after 500 acres of timber were
swept away. The families mounted
horses and escaped. Henry Eiler was so
badly burned that he died and negro
farm hand persisted in bed on Eiler's
farm. At Annetta and Blowtown
large tracts of timber were burned.
William Edwards, colored, was burned
to death while fighting the fire. Since
the burning of James V. Penny's house
in Indiana his wife has been missing
and is now believed to have persisted
in the woods while trying to escape.
In Clark county, Ind, the farms of
Bates and Weber were burned over,
causing a loss of $50, 900.

Republicans and silver Senators Have

WASHINGTON, April Lit is now re-
garded by the members of the steering
committees of both parties as practi-
cally settled that the republicans will
reorganize the senatorial committees
as soon as the Fifty-fourth congress as
semblcs- The republicans have not
contemplated any sort of compact with
the senators who were elected as pop
ulists and, therefore, their ability to
organize the committees was left de-
pending upon the support of the silver
senators and the consent of the DEM
ocrats.
The democratic leaders are willing
that there should be an organized plan
provided it is done in a manner which
they consider fair and it is understood
that the silver senators are assured of
being taken care of as they desire by
the republicans. On this plan gen.
eral understanding has been reached
without going into details. 1t is said
that silver majority will still be
maintained in the financial committee
and that there will probably be dis
tribution of the appropriations anon g

The Trial of the Taylor Brothers for the
Meeks' Murders Nearing = Close.
CARRoLLToS, Mo-, April A large
crowd was present this morning when
court opened in the expectation of
hearing the arguments in the Taylor
trial. Most of the forenoon, however,
was taken up in preparing and reading
the instructions. At o'clock the
court room was packed as it never has
been; not only every seat and aisle
was full, but they stood in every
position and piled up on top of one an
other. When court met Col. Hale, for
the defense, asked that time be given
them to get Col. Cravens, of Arkansas,
here, who. they claimed, helped Col.
South capture the Taylors, but
the Judge refused. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Bresnehen then proceeded to read
the instructions allowed for the state.
d. NJ Wilson followed by read
ing the instructions allowed for the de-
Tense. L. A. Holiday opened the argu-
ment for the state. He confined him
self to the evidence as brought out by
the state and showed that their chain
was complete, not a single link being
left out. He also showed the absurdity
of the statements made by the defend-
ants when in the witness box. His
speech occupied one hour. Col. Meyers
followed for the defense in speech
of one hour Sidney Miller was the
second speaker for the state, and was
followed by Senator Z. r. Stephens for
the defense. Court then adjourned for
supper. +. B. Fields, for the state,

The introduction of wood fiber into
the manufacture of paper, its economic
production and the attractiveness of
the article so produced, have combined
to tempt the papermaker not to make

onlv sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof Modern methods of book
illustration require a paper of fine,
even surface, with the property of
semi-absOrption of printers ink, and
this latter requirement has resulted in
the very considerable use of what is
known as ''half-sized" paper, i. e., pa
per which has but small proportion of
gelatine, or other size. on which the per-
manent cohesion of the paper depends.
Such paper cannot resist the influences
of alternate variations of temperature

WARNING TO FRANCE.

England Strongly Resents Aggressions on
Its African Lands.
LONDON, March 30.-A statement
which Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary
secretary of the foreign Office, made in
the house of commons last night that
the advance of the French into the
territory of the upper Nile valley be-
longing to the Royal Niger Co. and
therefore under British protection
would be an unfriendly act and that it
was well known to France that Great
Britain would so regard it, is causing
q profound sensation here and on the
continent
Sir Edwards announcement, which
was read from notes believed to have
been written by the secretary of state
for foreign affairs, is looked upon as
revealing the extremely critical rela-
lions now existing between France
and Great Britain. The fact that the
statement was prepared in writing be-
forehand, emphasizes the seriousness
of the situation and shows that every
word embodies the views of the cabi-
net, which considered the matter yes
terday.

MONEY ORDERS.

AnticipatIons I'm That Line.
WASHINGTON, April Post Office
revenues are falling far short of an
ticipations- One thing which is affect
ing them is the rapid growth of the
money order business of the express
companies. The United States began
in 1864 the issue of money orders, and
until 1882 the yearly receipts steadily
increased The express companies in
1882 inaugurated a money order sys-
TEN, and it increased from SOC, 900
orders year to 100000 The govern
ment receipts from the same source
naturally dwindled.
In banking circles it is alleged that
the express money order business is a
banking business, and were it not for
the banks friendly and gratuitous as
sistance to the express companies the
latter's money order business would be
unable to compete with the govern
ment's Banks in the western and
southern states are agitating the ques-
ton. Missouri banks have decided to
refuse to cash express money orders.
They have used the express money or
ders as exchanges, but they realize
that they would have Just as conven-
lent a medium of exchange in the post
office money orders. Another question
now being raised is as to whether the
government. in the interest of the post
office department, should not take
some action for the purpose of estab-
fishing the status of the express COM
panies and determining whether they
come under the operation of state and
national banking laws. If it were
found that express companies were SUBJ
ject to the banking laws, the impress
sion prevails that the post Office money
order business would be vastly in

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Contrary to
the expectations of the officials, the
treasury receipts for the month CT
March will again fall below the ex.
penditures. The excess of expendi-
lures over receipts for the nine months
of the present fiscal year is over
$50, SOC, 900, and this amount will
almost certainly be increased by $1,000
600 or more during April, which will
have a deficit of about S42, 900, 900 on
May l. During May and June, how
ever, great things are expected from
the income tax, but the most conserva-
tive estimates now place the deficit for
the fiscal year So, 900 or $50, 600, 600
greater than Mr.. Carlisle's estimate
sent to congress with his last annual
report.
