Considering the fact that 10, 600 Ameri-

The proud places are given to the men

the visitor who approaches London. lhe
highest commentaries the conflagratton
OF 1866, and the other three are in honor
of deeds of war.
Ihe finest memorial in St. Pauls is to
certain lrishman, Arthur Wellesley.
The rare beauties of the Wellington
lnausoieum are only equalled by certain
tomb in France. At Chester, on the
carved marble to Lord CORVALLIS read
this line: HE defeated the Americans
with great slaughter And when a
monument is seen in England it is
generally in honor Of some one who has
killed. Two exceptions are the Albert
memorial and the monument of brewer,
who left large sum to charity, but yet
who has been said to have slain his
thousands.
On the site of the Globe theatre in Lon
don where Shakespeare's plays were first
produced, 1t might be expected that a
magnificent memorial park might be
found. But only brewery is there.
"Only brewery said to an English
man. "Aye, man, but amt 1t a big

allowed to drink free each day eight
quarts of beer.
Why should England not have monu.
ment to Shakespeare? He is her one uni.
versal citizen. He was born in England,
he was never out of England and his
ashes rest In England. Yet she has raised
to him no memorial. But say you that
he is his own monument. What can
bronze or marble do for him? What
monument SO grand as his great tragedies
and comedies? What else could be &C

Headaches indigestion, blliousness and

that the enemy of serious disease is coming

Golden Medical Discovery. 1t v1talizes and
invigorates the entire constitution. 1t helps
the liver to filter out all bilious impurities.
1t gives the digestive and nutr1tlve organs
power to extract nourishnent from the food
and turn it into rich, red, healthy blood. 1t
creates appetite, good digestion, and solid,
muscular strength.
1t is far superior to the mere temporary
stimulus of nlalt-extracts. 1t is better thas,

COL. BUCK SHOCKS GEORGIA.
New Minister to Japan Accepts "a Re-
ception from COIOred People.

ATLANTA, Ga. May 4-Colonel Alfred
E.. Buck, whom President Mckinley has
appointed to be minister to Japan, has just
made the most radical social departure that
has ever agitated the South. He has ac-
ceDted a reception from negroes. The
colonel has been the Republican leader of
this State ever since a Republican leader
was necessary, and his supremacy has been
won entirely through his own skill in cap
turing. maintaining and manipulating the
colorld vote. This vote has never amounted
to anything in presidential elections, but it
has meant a great deal in securing dele
gates to the national Republican conVen-
ton.
In the face of tremendous opposition from
the INSTRUMENTATION combine, Colonel
Buck last year carried almost a solid dele
cation to the st. Louis convention, and be-
fore Mr.. Mckinley was "inaugurated the
colonel had been assured of his reward.
Since the Senate confirmed his nomination
and he took the oath of office the business
men of Atlanta, without regard to politics.
have honored him with a banquet, and the
of the American Revolution
have given a reception to Mrs. Buck. Last
week the negroes of the State rendered the
colonel a reception in the biggest building
they could find, and the colonel accepted.
The reception was held last night and polite
society throughout the State has received
a shock from which it will not recover until
the colonel is well on his WI across the
Pacific ocean.

with the Attorney General.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, May 4.-The county
commissioners met as an auditing board
this afternoon to pass on the warrants of
the various township trustees in accord
ance with the provisions of the Duncan bill.
The county attorney submitted an opinion
on the new law, saying;
The whole statute is an ill-advised. i'm
mature tumble of incongruities ard con-
tradictions and the best that can be said of it
is that II requireS a great deal of legislative
doctoring. As it is your duty to carry out
and not make laws. we simply sugges that
You hold yourselves in readiness TO pass on
all warrants submitted to you"
The recent opinion of Attorney General
ketcham, wherein he said vouchers as well
as warrants should be passed on by the
auditing board, tended to confuse the trus-
tees, but all agreed to ignore ii pending a
test of the law in the courts. One-half of
the trustees have ignored the law entirely
and presented no warrants save some notes
outstanding for schoolhouse construction.

other house that had not yet been occupied.
For several days after Antonio and his
family moved into their new home they

CHICAGO, May About 5000 people
were present to-day when the Splan-New-

the sale of the black pacing stallion, Soc

and from that the price was steadily adj
vanced until SIS. 600 was bid and the famous
PAGER was knocked down at that figure to
C. NJ. Marks, a wealthy shoe man of Chi
cage, and not known as a horseman. An
active competitor in the bidding was James
A. Murphy, a wealthy sporting man who
last September paid $15,6 600 for the great

that Mr.. Marks made the purchase for a
sale again in a short time. This is not
