NICKUM's ALLEGED LIGHT.
LOgansport Citizens VIII Not Believe
without Seeing.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPORT. Ind Feb 9.--It is now
said that the long looked for exhibition of
the much-talked-of Nickum light is but
a matter of a short time. From the build
ing at the corner of Third and Market
streets comes the sound of much saving
and hammering and it is said that the cor
ner room on the second floor will be used
to give the exhibition to newspaper men.
j. B. Nickum. the manager and press
agent for the inventor. declares that there
is nothing new in regard to the light nor
is he able to give out any definite Informal
ton as to the exact time of the long prom
ised exhibition, although he gives the inn
preston that preparations are being made
for it at an early date. This. however, hard
ly conforms to a statement made by him
some days ago, when asked regarding the
exhibition. He then stated that the public
would have to wait indefinitely before it
would be permitted to see the light for
the reason that it was such an important
discovery that it was deemed best to secure
patents. not only in this country, but from
the government of every civilized nation be-
fore making any exhibition whatever The
people here have lost interest to a great
extent in the matter and few people take
Nickums alleged invention seriously.

The secretary enlarges upon the need
Of nature teaching in the common
schools. He says that there is a grow
ing interest in education that relates
to production and all classes of intelli-
gent people favor it. The report sug-
geSts that the greatest difficulties are
to overcome the conservatism of the
local boards managing country schools
and to get competent teachers. The
scientific educational subject is eX-
haustively discussed and while there
is no university where young farmers
may pursue postgraduate studies in
all the sciences relating to production,
the scientific divisions of the depart
ment of agriculture, it is urged, 10
some extent can provide postgraduate
facilities.
The report hat the bu-
reau of animal industry has perfected
a dip which takes the fever ticks from
cattle, so they a be moved north at
any season.: that it has continued eX-
perimentS with anti-tOXin serum to
prevent and cure hog cholera and it is
recommended hat this discovery, hav-
ing been made by public officials at
public expense should not be diverted
to private cost and that the serum
should be continued under government
control at least for some years to
come. The Texas fever dipping sta
tons will be established at convenient
points before the next quarantine sea-
son. The results from the backing
vaccine points indicate the percentage
of loss in herds has been reduced from
10 to 20 per cent. to less than l per
cent. This indicates that if generally
used it will end to eradicate the dis
ease completely.
Our foreign trade in agricultural
products is shown to be over two
thirds Of our domestic exports and is
steadily growing, while there is a de-
crease in agricultural imports.
Steel rails are stated to be the COM

CAUGHT In THE ACT
OfSetting Fire to the Mammoth store
OfJOh Wanannaker

Philadelphia, December 1.-The time
ly discovery by a special officer Of a
miscreant in the act of starting a fire
in the basement of John Wanamaker's
extensive department store this after
noon. no doubt, saved a serious con-
flagratiOn and possibly the lives of
many persons. The store covers an en-
tire block and has five sales floors,
and the building was, at the time,
crowded with thousands Of shoppers
and employees, about 80 per cent of
whom were Flames were seen
to spring from a pile of wicker bas-
kets and at the same moment an Off
Ger seized a man who was stopping
over the basket in the act of striking
a second match. The fire was quickly
eXtinguished and few of those in the
building knew of their danger. The
man who gave his name as Michael
Morgan, was locked up in default Of
$4,000 bail. Morgan said he had no

The Severity of this Dis
ease Increases Each
Winter.

Though the d~isagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather ~aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that its severest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensify the disease, so that it gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
a grasp that becomes firmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly. These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of a disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications. Being a disease
of the blood, only a blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. SIS.
(Swift's Specific) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A. Williams, a leading mer-
chant of ~Spartanburg, S. c., writes:
c"For four years l had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was a mild one at
first, it was not long until I noticed that
it was gradually growing worse. OF
course l was under treatment of first
class physicians, but their remedies
were applied locally, and the Catarrh
