CAN'T STAND REPUTATION.
Silver Voters of Indiana Can't Go Anarch,
Features of Chicago Platform.

Indianapolis, Ind, October 17.-The
sound money Democrats OF Indiana are
going to carry this state for Mckinley
and honest money and every Republican

1t is estimated by those who ought to
know that there are 60, 600 sound money

persons say that the Palmer and Buck

votes. The other 45, 600 will vote direct
for Mckinley.
Harry New who knows all about In
diana politics and indianapolis politics
in particular, said today; "There are 5000
Democratic business men in this city

Strange Disappearance in tho Town of
BOwdoinham.

Bowdoinham, October l7.-Bowdcin-
ham was excited today over the strange
disappearance of Miss Mertie, the 14-year
old adopted daughter of DR.. Oscar Adams,
who resides on the Millay road in Bow
doinham. She lsft the house to go to
an outbuilding at quarter past six last
night and as she did not return q search
for her was instituted, but neither she
nor any Glue to her disappearance could
be found.
Her home was about half mile from
any other house and she was not known
to have any particular gentlemen
friends. A stranger in a new top buggy
WAS seen in town yesterday and there Ia
some possibility that she went with him,
although the only reason that can be
given by those tho take this view of it
ID to suggest abduction.
It Is a very mysterious affair and the
village IL greatly stirred up ovor it.
As yet no clue to her whereabouts has
been discovered.

GLASGOW,S EXPERIENCE.
Municipal Management of Street
Railroads That PAYS

Railroads That Pays.
In long article giving an account of
the Glasgow municipal tramwsys, London
states that Glasgow is now better served
Efth tramways than any other town in the
country. The corporation cars carried last
fear s6ooo,VS passengers, which was more
than the passengers conveyed by the whole
Of the railways in Scotland In Manches-
ter the tramways only carried 49,0.o.eo0
passengers, and in Liverpool 81 ,e0 900 In
Glasgow the average fare is only nine
tenths of penny, compared with "a
of penny in Manchester l9 in Liver
pool, and l.3f in Birmingham. The system
of halfpenny fares adopted in Glasgow
has greatly popularized the service Lon
don points out that, if judged by the same
standard as a company, the Glasgow tram
ways would return a dividend of eight
per cent on the capital invested in the
enterprise.
This result has been attained, although
large revenue has been sacrificed for
advertisements. The employees work only
ten hours day for six days a week, and
receive higher wages than any similar
class of worknen. The net profit which
went to the municipal eXchequer was
f9o0o, but in addition TO this all interest
and sinking fund charges were met, and a
sum Of f3o,ouU set aside for permanent
way renewal from general reserve The
tramways department employs a STAFF of
300 people; it has 4,lo0 horses, 331 cars

Flooding Out Disease.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Water, much as men may dislike it, is
good for men to drink. 1t is possible to
prevent many diseases and cure others by
drinking large quantities of water An
eminent French physician says that typhoid
fever can be washed out of the system by
water. He gives his patients what would
amount to eight or ten ounces an hour of
sterilized water. Experiments have been
made with diseases caused by bacteria
which demonstrate the curative value of
water. In cases of cholera, where the sys-
tenn secretes a large amount of fluid, enor-
nous quantities of hot water are of great
benefit, and will cure many cases without
other me edicnes. One doctor says that per-
fectly sweet cider, taken in large quanti-
ties has been known to cure cases of bowel
complaint. The acid kills the bacteria,
which are speedily thrown out of the sys-
tenn. Hot water In fevers Is of great use,
and an ordinary tumbler full of water as
hot as can be taken once an hour is one
of the very best remedies. The important
thing is to get into the system and out of it
a sufficient amount of water to prevent
accumulation of ptomaines and toxins with

will be invited by the trustees of the Cor

as one of the features of the capital city.
The date for the transfer of the works
OF art from the old to the new building has
not yet been fixed, for much is still to be
done before the new gallery can be occu-

tees was that the transfer Of pictures and
other objects of art would be accomplished
before this time, but as Is the usual ex-
perience in all such great enterprises there
have been delays from one cause and an
other, until today the nearest approach to
a prospect of immediate occupancy is the
promise of the representative of the gen.
eral contractor that he Is likely to finish
his work in six weeks DR.. F. S. Barbarin,

may be pursued without Interruption or
observation. Heavy doors communicate be-
tween the lecture hall and the various
drawing rooms and the gallery proper. and
when occasion requires these can be
over to the uses Of either the public or
the students.
Great care has been aaken. in the plan

there are no rooms in the building that
are not well furnished with Illumination.
These few rooms are in the basement. one
Under the lecture hall and the other across
the hallway on the west. In these cases
the windows are inadequate in size and
especially in the semi-circular room, which
Is admirably arranged otherwise for the
accommodation Of an unusually large class
but the lighting is so bad that no use can be

Ihe galleries proper for the display of
pictures are on the second floor. There
has been no attempt. to provide a main
hall OF great dimensions such as is the

the rooms have therefore been arranged
with view to closer classification Of can
