BUYING UP THE JURORS
SENSATION AT MARION IN THE CASE
AGAINST CRUM AND EVANS.

Deny the story that 1t Is i'm Trouble
-0ther State News.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Feb. u-One of the sem
sations promised in the green goods" case
against j. w. Crum and J. c. Evans came
to-day, when Joseph Kern, one of the most
reputable farmers in the county, filed an
affidavit charging Grief Matthews, another
farmer, with an attempt TO bride juror.
Kern was regarded as prospective juror
being one of the special venire. He alleges
in his affidavit that Matthews came to his
home in Pleasant township and made the
point blank proposition to pay him $50 if he
would get on the jury and hang it so long
as there seemed possibility OF acquittal.
lie states further that Matthe US repeated
the proposition until he became so indig
nant that he ordered Matthews off the
premises.
Phin Howard, who has achieved more or
less nOtOriety in the county in various
ways, also states that a prominent farmer
of Monroe township gave him SIS TO go on
a similar mission to John w. Conn, of
Washington township. Howard says he
saw Conn, but made no attempt TO fix him.
The SIS he pocketed for his own services as
a missionary. The air is filled with rumOrS
OF numerous shady transactions in connec-
ton with the case. but the foregoing in
cludes all the specific charges that have
been made SO far. Matthews was arrested

NO CONSUMPTIVE WILL DIE
SO LONG As HE CAN DIGEST AND As
sIMILATE FOOD.

All physicians admit this. Yet here the
difficulty begins. How can We build up the
consumptives body as fast as the disease
tears il down? Let Us consider.
Cough mixtures must be avoided because
they frequently contain opiates which ar
rest the digestion. Their only effect on the
cough is by supplying the nerves. Let
them alone.
All foods that are hard TO digest must be
avoided. especially fats and oils Only
those foods that are easily dgested and as
simulated should be eaten. Foods not thus
accepted by nature do no good: they 10
harm. Not what is merely eaten but what
is digested and sssimilated gives flesh and
strength.
Consumption is starvation. slow or rapid,
as may be. The first symptom is. not nee
essarily a cough. but tendency To lose
flesh. To grow thin. Stop this tendency now.
Don't wait for obvious lung trouble That's
only later development-only minor
point
Stop the wasting and you master the dis
ease. even though IL may have made some
slight inroads already. Increase the flesh
and the danger is past.
What is needed Is an especially prepared
food. nutriment in itself and digester
OF other foods.

ural appetite and inSureS the digestion OF
what is eaten with IL. 1t overcomes the

process.
A man may lose money and not die a
bankrupt One may have consumption
and not die OF IL. This is science and
sense. The success of this new remedy

manager of the Western association of win

offices of the company in this city this
evening, after his return from the meeting

the report of the meeting furnished by

facturers' associations were never so strong
as now.
Il denounce the report as a malicious
fa1sehood," he said. In the first place the
Jobbers are suffering over a war between
themselves on prices, and solicited to
help them out. We had a quiet meeting
and the rebate system was carefully con-
sidered and adopted by nearly a unanimous
vote on both sides, Afterwards we learned
that the jObbers were not satisfied and
the meeting was held yesterday for the pur-
pose of alternating the trouble, and we
simply Cancelled the rebate system and
adopted the old fiat or straight system in

COULD NOT AGREE.
WOOlgrOwers and Manufacturers
Failed to Fix Duties.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-After a series
of conferences extending over several days
the woolgrowers and wool manufacturers
have failed to adjust their differences over
the rates of duty to be recommended TO
the ways and means committee for the new
tariff bill now in process OF formation. and
have departed for their homes. The differ
ences of the two bodies were found TO be ir-
reconcilable. the growers being unwilling 10
consent to rates at which they declare they
cannot continue to produce wool with profit
and the manufacturers feeling that the
rates were higher than was proper or
polite.
According to the statements of the man.
ufacturers the growers named the follow
ing as the very lowest rates of duty they
were willing to accept in return for support
of the manufacturers: Twelve cents a
pound on class l and class wool; double
duty on washed and triple duty on secured:
s cents pound on all carpet woods and
double and triple duties On washed and
secured, and cents a pound additional
duty on all skirted woods. This. said Mr.:
North, the secretary of the Manufacturers
Association, lis the original Lawrence
schedule, with some slight notifications.
and its disastrous effects on the wooden
ufacturer are obvious 10 all man
ufacturers. There were members of
the woolgrowers committee who rec
ognized the impossibility of acquiescence
in such extreme rates, but the appointment
of the committee of conference had been
placed in the hands of Judge Lawrence
and he so constituted the committee that
it was ironclad against any material devia-
ton from the tariff programme which he
has been advocating. Notwithstanding the
fact that the manufacturers have evidence
which leads them to believe that major
ity of the woolgrowers of the country and
particularly of the far West, believe that
their best interests Will be promoted by
much more moderate duties.
On the other hand the growers assert
that the original Lawrence schedule OF
rates was that adopted by the Woolgrow-
ers' Association, the Farmers National
Congress. the Ohio State Grange and as
sOciations in some of the extreme Western
States, and the rates are the lowest that
would protect the industry TO such an ex-
tent as TO at all build up the breeding OF
sheep and the Production of wool in this
country. The growers assert that Judge
Lawrence did not name the committee re-
ferred to. but that each State selected its
own member of that body.

Crush mt the White uor..

WASHINGTON. Feb. u.-President and
Mrs. Cleveland gave their annual reception
10 the army and navy and the marine corps
at the White House tonight. 1t was the
final state reception of the official term of
Mr. Cleveland, and, with the exception of
tnat given by Mrs. Cleveland to the public
last Saturday, the crowd was the largest

seen AT any time during the incumbency
or the President in the executive mansion
So great was the crush that the guests
moved about with great difficulty, and
many in line gave up the attempt to greet
those receiving The occasion was a most
brilliant one. the insignia of the members
OF the diplomatic corps, who turned out i'm
large numbers. and the shining epaulets
and unifroms OF the army and navy officers
forming a glittering contrast TO the mag
nificent toilets of the ladies. The Marine
Band, under Prof. Fancuilli. furnished the
music for the occasion
