Hints for the Stout.

There is but little place in the
economy of nature for the woman
of superfuous flesh, says the Lon
don DAILY Mail
But what is she going to do about
it, poor thing?
If she begins to take care in time;
if she starts weight-reducing prac-
tees when first she notices a little
tightness about her bodies and belts
the process need not be so very
long or SO very trying
She must have a great deal ofex-
ercise and great deal of fresh air.
Two hours of really vigorous exer-
else every day-of brisk walking
that brings perspiration to the skin;
of brisk bicycle riding, or of horse
riding, according to her means and
tastes-is not too much.
Hot baths are part of the weight
reducing regime, but as trey are
also sometimes strength reducing
they should be taken with care.
Foods containing starch should
be avoided. That means the BAN
ishment of untoasted bread, of po-
tatoes, and of sweets from the daily
bill Of fare. Fats are also to be
Stunned. There should be but lit
tie butter and milk used.
In the way of definite exercises
for the reduction of flesh about the
waist and hips-the places where
most women suffer from overweight
there is one to be lightly recon-
mended.
The candidate for slimness should
assume what IS known as "the po-
sition of a soldier" back,
chest out, chin in, and ears, shoul-
der and hips in a vertical line. She
must bend from the waist until she
touches the floor, but without bend
ing the knees, and this she must do
often every morning.

THE SONG OF THE FROST KING.
BY w. TYLER OLCOTT.


I'm king of the Alpine heights;
I'm lord of the snow-capped peaks:
For me the avalanches roar,
And the 'cold-wrought silence"
speaks.
1 dwell in palace of cleaning snow,
Where the cloud-mists dream of the
sunset glow.
AT my heels the ind-dogs crinEe;
AT my word they swiftly dash
In mad career over all the world,
For they fear my stinging lash:
And the dawn-pink fingers alone for
In the glorious light of the golden sea.
I'm king of the rock-bound crests;
I'm lord of the rugged sleeps;
For me the frost-sprite weaves a veil,
And the sluggish glacier creeps.
I'm monarch of Earths vast Solitude,
Where the frost and the cold forever
. brood.

PROMISE OF LOW RATES
THE X. OF p. ENCAMPMENT COMMIT
TEES RECEIVE GOOD NEWS.
Means an Attendance of Perhaps 1OO,-
600 Strangers During the week
of Aug. ~.

The word from the East that railroads
have made a rate of $50 for the round trip
from Boston, on account of the knights of
Pythias encampment to be held in this city
during the week of Aug. %, has led to the
belief that this means a break in the rate
made by the New England and Trunk-lne
passenger associations. The low rate is
made by the way of New York, Washington
and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The
route strikes the territory of the passenger
associations which have made the 1-cent-a-
mile rate at Grafton, w. Va, to which
point the round-trip fare from Boston, I'M
der the rate of one and third fares for
the round trip, as proposed by the two
Eastern passenger associations, would be
$23. 1t is a decided break and it is believed
now that other roads will be compelled to
meet it and that the rate of the two pas
senger associations will go to pieces
This is the best piece of news Indianapolis
has received concerning the encampment
1t means an attendance fully as large and
perhaps larger than was estimated at first.
1t means the city will have to care for at
least 100000 visitors during the week of Aug.
% in addition to the twenty thousand who
will occupy tents in Camp Colgrove. 1t
means the attendance of entire lodges with
full membership, from points all over the
East 1t was believed that the unsatisfac-
tory rate offered by the Eastern passenger
associations would prevent this, and as it
was known that scores of lodges were con-
templating coming in bodies 1t was much
regretted. The rate now made from Boston
is better than l cent mile. 1t is thought
If other lines east of the Alleghenies meet
this rate it will add at least one thousand
men to those who come with their Uniform
Rank companies and will increase the at
tendance of members of subordinate lodges
and other visitors from five thousand to ten
thousand

Everything Indicates "a Big COnven-
ton Next Week.


There is already considerable activity
among the Republican politicians who are
interested in the convention which is to be
held at Tomlinson Hall next week. Every
thing indicates that the convention will be
one of the biggest political events in the
history of Hoosier politics. Chairman Hern-
ley has been very busy man for the last
week. Many prominent Republicans have
called at State headquarters in the Majestic
building to confer with him concerning de-
tails of the convention.
Some of the candidates have already put
in an appearance at the Denison Hotel,
which is to be the headquarters of the con-
vention. Among those who have arrived
are Francis E. Baker, of Goshen, candidate
for judge of the Supreme Court, Fifth dis
trict; William H. Oren, of South Bend, can
didate for treasurer of state; John G.
Of state. ]; NJ. Rabbi of Williamsport, can
didate for the Third district judgship, regis
tered last night at English's Hotel. All of
the candidates speak most encouragingly of
the political condition, and are more conf
dent than Republicans have ever been be-
fore that the party will achieve a great
days off, more of the candidates will arrive
to-day. The zeal which candidates are dis
playing indicates as clearly as anything
could how confident Republicans are of car
ing the State. A nomination is looked on as
equivalent to election; hence the activity of
the candidates. While the contests are
growing pretty warm, nothing indicative Of
hard feeling has been observed and the can
vass has been free from personalities. With
such large list of candidates as will be
before the convention, many men must, of
course, be disappointed in their ambitions,
but, judging by the spirit they have so far
exhibited, the defeated ones will work as
hard for the success of the party as their
more fortunate competitors after the con-
vention is over.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The statement of Mr.. Fishback that Ma
rion county has seldom, if ever" allowed
the adjoining county to name the joint cam
didate is incorrect and misleading, and, so
far as Marion and Morgan counties are con-
cerned, is erroneous Twice in the last
thirty years, and l am inclined to think only
twice. have Marion and Morgan been in a
joint senatorial district. The first nominee
was Major George w. Grubbs, of Martins
vile, who was nominated by reclamation;
the second convention convened and Marion
county again gave way and let Morgan
name the nominee, who was David Wilson,
of Monrovia, Morgan county. Now Marion
and Morgan are again in joint senatorial
district, and is it unfair to ask for the
nomination for Marion county only once out
of three times? Is it unreasonable?
think not, and believe with this fact be-
fore Mr.. Fishback he will concede the prop
osition. The writer has but the best
wishes for the Republicans of Morgan
county. and in common with every Repub-
lican in Marion county proposes to do moth
ing that will not tend to promote harmony
and good will in the counties and the best
results to the party. incidentally / might
mention the case of Mr.. Sid Conger, who
was elected to the Legislature from Marion,
Hancock and Shelly, but this is enough.
The point is not well taken.

was $7.1S4.975; in Brown county this year
the valuation is $50l, 235, last year it was
SAP S65. In Vigo county there has been
decrease in values. This year the valuation
is $6,978 1855, while last year it was $7345.065.

The announcement in last Mondays Jour
nal of the withdrawal of Charles M. Cooper
from the race for the Democratic nominal
ton for Representative from the Seventh
district, and the return to the city of Cap
tain William T. English, set the political
gossips to wondering, yesterday, whether
Captain English would be a candidate. To
q Journal reporter Captain English declared
in the most positive terms that he was not
a candidate, and, furthermore, that he
could not accept nomination If it were
rendered him. This decision is final. Cap

return to his regiment. His decision means
that the nomination will go to Leon o.

connection, however, no name has been

TO discredit it. Two or three Democrats
who know as well as anybody what is going
on said last night they had not heard a
third candidate mentioned. A good many
Democrats are dissatisfied with Bailey, re-
calling his course toward w. D. Bynum,
which they say was traitorous. This talk
comes from the silver Democrats as well
as others. The silver Democrats say that
subsequent events proved that Bynum
ought TO have been turned down long before
Bailey succeeded in knitting him. AT the

AN INFECTED HOUSE.
Report of a Sullivan County Health

DR.. James Billman, health officer of Sulli-

er's side After a few months living in the

for so believing. The recommendations of
the State Board to always thoroughly disin-
