Gardeners Election Predicted.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Ind, Nov. 6.-Judge w.
R. Gardiner, the Republican nominee for
Congress in the Second Indiana district,
closed his campaign in this city last night.
He spoke to a large audience composed Of
members of all parties and was given most
respectful attention. Judge Gardiner has
made a most thorough canvass of the dis
trict. has met thousands of men personally,
and wherever he went he made an impress
sion that can have no other result than be
a lasting benefit to the Republican party in
the Second district. He is a polished speak
er, thorough gentleman and his private
record is beyond reproach. Comparisons
which have been made between him and his
Democratic opponent have been disastrous
to the latter, and hundreds Of Democrats
are In open revolt. Those who have studied
the situation now believe that Judge Gardi-
ner will be elected by a plurality of not
less than 500. Sound-money men through
out the district will support him and vote
for hiro. From conservative estimates
Judge Gardiner places his own majority
over Mr.. Miers at 400 and sincerely believes
it will not fall short of that figure.

Face Covered with Large Sores.
Medical Treatment Useless.
Cured by Cuticura.
SKIN NOW SMOOTH ANO ROSY.

My niece's little baby boy, two years old,
was so badly afflicted with Eczema that he
needed constant watching. 1t was all over
his face, and he scratched the sores con-
stantly. Mornings, his clothes would be
stained with blood, and his face and hands
would be covered. His family never could
take him out, as his face was always full of
large sores. They had medical treatment, and
tried everything they heard of. She COM
menced using the CUTICURA REMEDIES last
spring and found that at last she had a won
derful healer. The sores left his face and he
was entirely cured, and now his face is as
smooth and rosy as though no sore had ever
been there to mar it. Mrs. L. j. ROOT,

BEAR ATTACK ON STOCKS
Tie Underlying Tendency OF the
Market Was Downward.
Continued Weakness in Government
Issues and Further Decline in
Spanish Fours.

New York, March 24-Speculators and
investors in securities learned little ac-
tually new in regard to the Cuban stu
alton from the perusal of their morning
newspapers or from the dispatches re-
ceived during the day from Washington
and other points bearing upon the same
question. A certain sense of relief was
felt, and the stock market reflected it
temporarily, when it was announced that
the Senate would adjourn from today
until Monday, though, of course the
most important feature of the situauX2.
the report upon the disaster to the
Maine, was not expected until next
week The thinking and rejecting por-
ton of the speculative community has
now recognized that there will be a set
Element in some way of the Cuban ques-
ton on this present occasion, and it is
preparing itself for any issue of the mat
ter that there may be. With this GER
tainty in view, the more substantial
financial interests are not CONCERNING
themselves with the daily changes and
developments in the situation, which are
important only in so far as they delay
or expedite action upon the main ques-
ton of the active Intervention of this
country in Cuba.
The dealings in today's stock market
were largely professional in character,
and they reflected a somewhat befogged
speculative sentiment at least in regard
to the immediate course of prices. The
market was all day under the pressure
of aggressive bear attacks. which were
commonly attributed to the most ac-
tive operator now influential in the spec
ulation. There was little actual outside
liquidation, though such commission
business as was done was clearly on that
side of the market. Among the fea-
lures of the day that deserved attention
there may be cited further sharp de-
cline in Spanish Fours and the contin-
ued weakness in United States Govern
ment issues.
The time money market was also firm
ell, brokers quite generally declining to
lend under per cent for all periods.
Under other circumstances the remark
able showing made by the St. Paul COM
pany for the third week Of March might
have received some notice but il was
scarcely mentioned today. The market
advanced rather rapidly in the early
dealings Notwithstanding the unchanged
Cuban situation, and the decline in the
London stock market on balance. For
eign arbitrage houses sold about 10000
shares of various stocks. The market
changed its tone frequently during the
day, but its underlying tendency was
dawnward. Sugar Refining and Metro
politan Street Railway showed the most
constant pressure. The granger shares,
Union Pacific preferred and Manhattan
were active features of the market. The
market closed weak at practically the
lowest figures of the day.

Christening OF the Kentucky.

When Miss Bradley announced that she
would christen the Kentucky with water
the colonies of that State were Mortified.
They regarded this strange and unusual
procedure as an insult to the honor of
their State, the home of good whisky.
The people of Kentucky were at Il loss
TO know how TO avenge this insult. Their
honor, however. has been avenged by the
Kentucky contingency residing in Wash
ington. They attended the christening in
a body, each man armed with bottle of
Tharp's pure old Berkeley Whisky, and as
the Kentucky glided down the ways a
mighty shout was given and fifty bottles
of this celebrated whisky We're smashed
against the side of the vessel Pure
Berkeley Whisky can only be had at
Tharp's, So f Street northwest
