Do you use whiskey for medical purposes or
on your sideboard? Ifso, is it not the first
thought to get an absolutely pure article, free
from all authorizations. How can you better
accomplish this than by buying direct from
the distiller Did you ever stop to think
when buying gallon of whiskey how many
profits you have paid from distiller to jobber,
from jobber to retail dealer and from retail
dealer to consumers three profits added to
the cost. In buying from a distiller you pay
one fair profit, get goods direct from the dis
tiller free from all fusil oil and aduteration.
If my goods are not satisfactory they can be
returned and money will cheerfully be re-
funded. ask for the first order you will ask
for the second. Get good article or none.

favored but stood his ground and insisted

amendment was defeated % TO %. all the
Republicans voting against the amend

LONDON, May 5-The Madrid co.re-
spcndent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Those VINO are best Informed as TO the
governments view allege that If the Span
ish arms suffer another reverse like that
at Cavlte. the government would infor-
maiiy request the great powers TO lend
their services 10 arrange the best possible
terms OF peace. Many Liberals consider
that Spain. having maintained her honor
and justified her chivalry. can now afford
to yield to superior force. but it is doubt
ful IL the public would approve of this
line OF action.
i am assured that the government would
be content TO cede Cuba to the United
States, but would not pay indemnity, be-
cause unable. Wei informed politicians
here regard the war as practically ter
minated. and that toward the end of May
Ii will become history. What Will follow,
however II is difficult TO foresee. All the
elements of a long civil war in Spain are
unfortunately becoming visible. The gov
ernment and the Liberal party are popu-
larly hated as being responsible for the
war The Republicans possess no durable
chances of success. The Conservatives
and Car!ists are the real authorities OF the
future. and some of the Conservative
groups are gravi,ating toward cariisrn.
The economic question, however. will come

The Vienna correspondent. of the Daily
Chronicle SAYS:
The idea of the resignation of the re-

view to averting an anti-dynas,ic move
ment and saving the throne. An exchange
of ideas on the subject is going on be-
tween the queen regent and her Austrian
family. bat its most influential members
are decidedly opposed.
The Madrid correspondents of the Morn
Ing Post says:

ALL QUIET At ARSENAL
MAI. vARNEY RECEIVES NO START
LING ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON.
There Are $4,000 Rifles and n Half
Million Rounds of Ammunition
Under His Care.

It was reported yesterday that Maj. A. l..
varney. commandant of the United States
arsenal here, had received a cipher dispatch
from Washington contained very impor-
tent instructions. The arsenal is heavily
stored with arms and ammunition. AS
heretofore published in the Journal, there
are 5000 rifles and about 10000 rounds of
ammunition there The report was that
Major Varney had received instructions to
prepare to ship a large portion of the am
munition and rifles to the seaboard.
Major Varney denied that he had any war
news whatever.
II read the papers for my news" said he.
''You are in a better position than I 10
know what is being done. They are too
busy at Washington to pay much attention
to us in the interior. If any orders had
been sent to me you would most likely have
heard of it first, as my orders come by mail,
your news by telegraph"
He was told of a report that cipher dis
patches had been sent him from Washing
ton
4 know nothing of any such communica-
lions" said he.
Another report vas that the government
contemplated building a factory for arms
and ammunition.
"You could guess what the governments
course would be on that as easily as
could" said he, when asked about that
idea.
In times of peace, Major Varney ex-
planned much of the governments arms
and ammunition are manufactured in its
own shops, but in extraordinary times like
the present, when hurry is necessary, con-
tracts are given to private firms. He said
he had no information dis to the Locations of

PARENTS CLAIMING CHILDREN
Unexpected Eject of the New Law
Concerning Public Charges.

Secretary Butler. of the State Board of
Charities, returned yesterday from Fort
Wayne, where he visited the Institute for
Predetermined, the County Infirmary and
County Orphans Home. The latter institu-
ton is regarded as one of the best of the
kind i'm the State About forty-ive children
are cared for. 1t is Mr.. Buffers intention
to visit other institutions of that character
soon.
Under the law passed a year ago all chill
dren have been removed from poor farms TO
orphans homes. have been placed in private
institutions or homes have been found for
them, so that none are now lodged with
older persons of vicious and improvident
character. One very beneficial effect of this
law that was not anticipated when it was
passed has been observed. Under it chill
dren cared for in county homes are to be
provided with homes in families as fast as
they can be found, parents being required
10 release all claims on them. The effect
or this has been to make parents appear 10
claim their children when they were about
10 be removed by the County Commissioners
from the poor farms to orphans homes.
These parents, it would appear, have simply
been letting the State care for their Off
springs, but when it comes to surrender
ing all claims to them refused to do so.
Under the law, where the parents do not
voluntarily release the children, steps may
be taken in court by the officials, so that
the parents must either themselves care for
their children or release them to others who
will. Mr.. Butler thinks that the ultimate
erect OF this law will be to relieve the
State Of about half the burden it has borne
In caring for the children of parents who
now show by their action they could have
maintained them all the time.
When homes are found for the children by
the state agent record is kept of them, so
that they can be visited once or twice a
year for the purpose of seeing whether they
are properly cared for and educated.
In many cases where the County Com
missioners have but few INDECENT children
to look after they have been advised to CO.
operate with other counties, each bearing its
pro rata share of the expense In other cases
where there is not enough of this sort of
char1ty required to justify the building of
homes. the children are turned over to pri-
Yate institutions. The law requires state
supervision of all such Institutions, so that
the treatment Of the children is likely to be
more humane and careful than under the old
system 1t is asserted that Indiana will
never revert to the practice of permitting
young children to associate in county in
firmaries with old mendicants, where they
get the impression that the state owes them
living and must care for them.
