he would tide his hat and happened
to put it in the same place with Mr..

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton OF the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
bic, For great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system, They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars

In Libby Prison.

In July, 1865, ended the memorable
siege of Vicksburg and marked also
the battle Of Gettysburg In Libby
prison, where it seemed as though the
desperately dark gloom could take no
deeper tinge, group Of some 500
huddled together on the morning Of
July discussing the situation. Two
of their number had just been taken
out to be shot in retaliation for the
killing Of some rebels somewhere
They knew that the Confederate
forces were marching north and that
a terrible battle had been fought
They knew also that Grant was reach
ing for Vicksburg, the key to the
Mississippi. They could hear moth
ing more, but feared the worst About
noon of the 9th a Richmond, paper
Struggled inside by faithful negro
friend, confirmed their worst fears.
In startling headlines they read,
MEADE Defeated at Gettysburg,
"The Northern Army Fleeing to the
Mountains, . Grant Repulsed at
Vicksburg," 1.-THE Campaign Closed
in Disaster"
The depression caused by this was
awful. The poor, emaciated fellows
broke down and cried like babies
They lost all hope, and one of them
has said since, There was not left
in us strength enough to curse God and
die" While in this condition later
edition of the same paper was brought
in by the same. Chaplain McCabe
got the paper and, having stronger
voice than the others, was delegated
to read them the later returns. He
began at the headlines.
Grant Has Captured Vicksburg
and Taken 80, 900 Prisoners.
Meade Defeated Lee at Gettys-
burg, Taking ID 600 Prisoners.
The same shadow on the dial
marked the time of the defeat of the
rebels at Gettysburg and the ssurren-
der of Vicksburg.
The revulsion of feeling was almost
too great to endure. The boys went
crazy with Joy. They saw the begin
ming of the end. Chaplain McCabe
sprang up on box and struck up:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord.
He is tramping out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored.
He has loosed the fateful lightning of
his terrible swift sword.
His truth is marching on.
The way in which the 500 men
Joined in on the chorus of GLORY,
glory, glory, hallelujahP' gave evil
deuce that there was lots of life left
in them yet That day and that
song made Julia Ward Howe famous.
If her name had never oeen known
before and if she had never done any
thing worthy of note since that one
great poem, the expression of the
fervor and zeal and patriotism of all
the ages since the morning stars sang
together, burned in letters OF living
fire upon the hearts of those prison
worn singers, will stand as monu-
ment to her memory until the records
and recollections of the great rebel
lion have crumbled to dust.

WAS QUITE OFFENSIVE
NUN M'CULLICK, POSTMASTER OF
MONTPELIER, IN TROUBLE.
Held Up Mail Sent Out by "a Repub-
Iican CIub-His BibuIOus Experi-
ence at Button.

Nun McCullick is the postmaster at Mont
pelier, Ind, and the Federal authorities
here are looking into a remarkable case
of offensive partisanship INDUCED in by this
gentleman with the peculiar name. He was
appointed by President Cleveland and
probably owed his appointment to that
statesmans fondness for such peculiar
patronymics as Hoke Smith, Dink Bolts,
Pod Dismuke, Joshua Jump, etc.
But Notwithstanding the fact that Nun
was a Cleveland appointee he was one of
the widest silver cranks in the northern
part of the State and charges of offensive
partisanship a foot high are stacked up
against him. The worst one of these lies
in the fact that the Republican Club of
Montpelier on Oct. 20, mailed $50 letters to
it's members. The letters had the name of
the club on the envelopes with the usual
five days return injunction. The sapient
Nun took it for granted that these letters
contained much political thunder and that
he would be doing great thing, for Will
liam Jennings Bryan If he should see that
they were not delivered. Therefore they
were stacked up in a corner and returned
lion 10 .he gup snposeG that tG nasmucb as he
was obeyingS the injunction and returning
the letters to the club within five days
time this would let him out, but the
authorities look at it differently.
Another interesting charge against the
festive Nun is that he is bibulous as well
as politically enthusiastic. 1t is recited that
while the campaign was at it's height Nun
attended a great political blowout at
Button, where he imbibed too freely of
the spirit of true Democracy and became
involved in a mix with the result that
he came home with both eyes BACKED and
his nose scattered pretty generally over his
face In this plight he waited upon GUS
toners of Uncle Sam for the next ten days,
greatly to the public disgust and contrary
to the peace and dignity of the United

OFFICERS OF REBEKAH.
Sadie f. Carter, of Camden, President
Grand Lodge To-day.

The Indiana Assembly of the Daughters
of Rebekah adjourned yesterday evening
after electing the following new officers:
President-Sadie E. Carter, of Camden.
Vice President-Annie w. Lafollette, of
Portland.
Secretary-Mary A. Wiley, OF Fowler,
Treasurer-Alice Duck, of Lagrange.
Trustees-Roxey S. Hathaway, of Aurora;
Annie l. Henderson, and Alice McQuiddey
Buchanan, of Indianapolis.
The Rebekahs were in session nearly all
day yesterday. One of the first matters
of business that came up during the morn
ing was the appointment of a committee
to visit John B. Reynolds, associate editor
of the Talisman, who is very i'll at his home
in this city. The session sent greetings to
the assemblies of Vermont and New York
and during the morning held special me-
mortal services. Papers touching the life
and official career of the late secretary, b.
F. Foster, of the Grand Lodge of Odd Eel
lows. were read by Louise b. Hall, of
EVANSVILLE Lillian K. Bishop of Portland,
and RoXey S. Hathaway of Aurora. The
delegates during the day listened to an adj
dress from Grand Master Reinhard, of
Bloomington, who also installed the new
officers. The retiring president, Mrs. Mary
A. Poths, of Terre Haute, was presented
with a handsome gold badge before the
session adjourned.
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows will
meet in the CITY to-day.

The Journal yesterday morning quoted
leaders of the silver push" who object to
the appointment of "Boltocrat' Leary to
a city inspectorship IN which they inti-
mated that the Democratic city committee
was to get ''take-off from the money
paid by the park board for the Miller prop
erty on East Ohio street. The article con-
cluded:
why don't you roast this man Tag
gart?" chimed in another of the silver
statesmen present. why, it's the most
corrupt administration we've had yet. Why
don't you ask how much Frank Miller is
going to give the Taggart city committee
out of that big chunk of money he got for
his property. All the rest of the park
scheme has to wait while Miller gets his
money at once for his little out-of-the-way
place. An he was a goldbug tool!
Mayor Taggart says that this remark
was entirely uncalled for, and is an UNI
kind and unwarranted reflection not only
on the administration. but on the members
of the park board, every one Of whom is
an honorable man, and on Mr.. Miller. a
man of known integrity and probity. The
Mayor asks if it would not be just as rea-
sonable to intimate that a donation was to
be made to the campaign fund by Mr.. Dean
or Mr.. Kirkland, whose property was also
bought bV the hoard
