Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HUNTINGBURG, Ind, Aug. 15-Since
the beginning of the year almost every
industry in the city has steadily increased
it's business, until to-day Huntingburg en-
iovs such prosperity as it never enjoyed
since the removal of the L., E. & st. L.
Railroad shops five years ago. There IS not
a vacant house in the town and several

increase in population. There is not an
idle man in the city but who could secure
employment should he so desire. This was
demonstrated several times during the past
month when farmers came to town to
hire laborers to assist in threshlng They
were unable to secure suthcient help here
and were obliged to look elsewhere This
state of affairs is quite a contrast with
last summer, when crowds of workingmen
would sit on the corners from morning un-
til night discussing the hard times and
free silver
William Roettger, manufacturer of car
riages and wagons, says that his business
is at least one-third better than last sum-
mer. and he is confident that business Will
be considerably improved in few months
He is behind ming orders and is contcm-

Atlanta, Jan. 19.-Sam Palatka, cross

as he gave himself away. Those in
charge of him in Atlanta as he was

Notice OF plNeREE MEASURES.
General Amendment of Michigan Railway
Laws Is Proposed.


Lansing. Mich. Jan. 15.-Bills were
introduced in the Michigan house pro-
viding for a normal school in the upper
peninsula; joint resolution for a con-
stitutional amendment limiting the time
for introduction of bills to twenty days;
to amend the election law; to prohibit
holding party caucuses and conven-
tions. A bill was passed authorizing
the village of Houghton to convey
mineral lands. Bills were noticed by
Atkinson, Governor Pingree's right
bower, looking to a general amendment
of the railroad laws, in accordance with
the recommendations of Pingree's mes
sage.
In the senate bill was introduced
appropriating $4,000 for current ex-
penses of the Michigan Mining school
until the regular appropriation is avail
able. Both houses held brief sessions
and devoted most of the day to per-
fecting the committee organizations.
The governor has paid his respects to
Lieutenant Governor Dunstan,
charging him with arranging the
senate committees in the interests Of
the enemies of the people. There has
not been much comfort for the gover-
nor in this legislature so far. His men
have invariably been given the marble
heart"

Houghton. Mich, Jan. 19.-Between 6
and o'clock in the evening smoke is
suing from the twenty-fourth level Of
the South Hecla branch of the Calumet
and Hecla mine, warned the miners
that there was fire among the timbers
In the slope. Only the trammers who
load the cars were underground and
they lost no time in getting to the sur
face by the man car and ladders. No
one Is missing, and none were injured
in getting out. The officials Of the COM
pany say that the fire can do no great
damage. 1t cannot communicate to the
shafts, as there Is over seventy-five
feet to No. 8 shaft on the north and
about 300 feet to No. 10 shaft on the
south. The fire can be confined to where
1t started. The shafts will be sealed for
a day or two. No hosting will be done
until the fire is extinguished. No cur
tailment of the product of the mine
will be caused, as the shafts at the CAL
umet end and the old Hecla part Of
the mine can give sufficient rock to
keep the stamp mills going at full ca
pacity. The fire being under control, it
should not affect the mine shares in the
stock market. The cause Of the fire Is
not known, as the miners had quit work
at noon.

Tropical

An Italian physician has devoted
yeas of study to the diseases that pre-
vail in tropical countries and is of the
opinion that every one of them peculiar
to those regions is of parasite origin, or,
i'll other words, the result of bacterial
attacks. and that, with the progress of
sanitation and hygiene, there will soon
be no reason why white men cannot
live as safely and as long in hot lands
as in those where the temperature is
varied by seasons of cold. An interest
ing conclusion which be has reached is
that sunstroke, like malarial fevers,
cholera and the plague. is produced not
by the suns action, but by living
germs: that is an infectious disease and
an accident.--Chicago Tribune.

Origin of the Word,

Easter, the festival of the resurrec-
ton, was instituted in or about A. ID.
s., and may have been observed earlier,
as it is alluded to by the first Christian
writers as well known in their time.
The word is of Saxon origin, being APP
piled in English to the festival from the
of the Saxon goddess Eostre,
whose festival was held in the spring.
The word in Acts 1874, translated
Easter NEAR passover" the Easter
festival being held at the same time as
the Jewish Passover, and as many il
not most of the early Christians were Of
Jewish origin it was an easy matter for
them to convert the greatest day of the
Jewish ecclesiastical year into the
greatest festival of Christianity.--Ex-

The time when Easter gifts were
made to symbolic the season has long
since passed away, says Harper's Ba-
gar. Souvenirs are exchanged with al
most as generous lavishness as at
C~hristmas-tide: indeed, some ardent
church folk claim that the Easter re-
membrance has the deeper significance,
and it takes many beautiful forms, but
the distinctive quality that separated it
from others no longer exists. Books of
prayer o devotion may be given or eX-
changed, but ms the result of individual
preferences rather than because of
any general sentiment attaching to the
day. Indeed, gift making has spread so
far beyond the church limits it is doubt
full Il every giyer realizes the special
meaning that once held as an essential
element in the gift.
