Indiana Is a Great State.

A traveller, who has been in manl
lands. crossing the border line OF
Indiana, homeward bound, said TO
the indianapolis News that he was
glad to get back to the good OLD
Hoosier State.
"There are salubrious climates
whe.e one may be happier for Q
month or year than in Indiana,
and there are soils that will yield
rare fruits and flowers that we can
not produce. But there is no land
that | have discovered were so
many advantages are combined .as
in Indiana. 1t is an old statistical
story, | know, but it is practical
fact that must be interesting every
time we turn our attention to 1t
that Indiana has several sources OF
wealth, any one of which is sufii
cient tosustain her as great state.
And then he went on to talk OF
the incompatible stone quariies
yielding building stone that is re-
cogniz-d as the best to be found in
America. either for construction or
for artistic purposes Of her mex
haustible coal fields; Of the vasl
natural gas regions thet have
brought the State into great con
spicuity; of the forests that have
supplied countless industries with
lumber, and of the clays and shales
the value of which is Just beginning
to be appreciated. He discussed
the soil, showing that it would yielC
, wheat and corn and grass better
perhaps, than any other state viii
yield all these three products HI
pointed out that in the southern
! part of the State peaches and sinai
fruits flourish; that in the northern
part apples--the bread Of all frui
grow in increasing quantities
Much was to be said of other indus
teries-of cattle II d sheep and hogs
OF beef raising, of the yield of ber
ries. and Of scores of small fruit
and vegetables which are sur
crop. Tropical fruits and the pro
ducts Of other climates are not to b
scorned, but it is fact that here i
Indiana the people have at thei
command all of the things necess
ary to sustain life pleasantly an
: to Weld a revenue besides.

and novelist, has gathered together
from various sources a number OF
OF new stories Of Washington, and
publishes them in the May Ladies
Home Journal "a The Anecdotal
Side Of George Washington. Y All
the stories are capitally told, and
together they reveal the characteris-
ties of the great American in most

POLITICS AND CHURCH AFFAIRS.
* Gov. Cumback Mixes Them In an Ia.
ter,iew, and Speaks of the Future.

TX Lieut.. Gov. Will Cumback OF
ireensburg said positively at the
Denison house yesterday that he
yill not be candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor.
Il am not too old to be governor"
said he, "but | am too old to be a
candidate. Besides, | nave given
the people two or three chances to
make me governor, +" he added, with
smile, land they have never avail
I'd themselves Of the opportunity"
Mr.. Cumback was the father of
the movement of vast Importance
for equal lay and ministerial repre-
sentatIon in the conf rences of the
methodist church in America-a
movement which was crowned with
victory in an incredibly short time
after it was started The feeling
that there should be equal repre-
-entation had had its ebbs and flows
uEtil in 1897 the northern Indiana
conference voted the proposition
down almost unanimously. Mr..
ICumback thereupon wrote for an
indianapolis paper an article criti-
cising the conference and started
petition for convention to discuss
the question. "Uncle Dick"
Thompson, Clem Studebaker Judge
Baker and other prominent Ind
lanianS were signers of the petition.
Mr.. Cumback presided al the con-
vention and speeches were made by
Senator Hogate, Judge Buckley,
Eli Ritter and others. This started
the ball to rolling and was speedily
followed by twenty or thirty con-
rentions throughout the country,
(which terrified the preachers, F"
MIR. Cumback says. Three-fourtns
of the membership of all the annual
conferences have now ratified equal
representation, which makes it the
church law"
There is now an effort on foot, ("
said Mr. Cumback, ''to stave Oft
equal representation by raising a
constitutional question. 1t should
, by righ. become operative at the
! next general conference which meets
at Chicago in 1900, but the scheme
, now is to postpone the taking effect
| for four years after that. If this Is
: seriousl y attempted there will be a
schism and church racket seldom
equaled. The bald truth is that
there is no constitution governing
the general conference, but only
some restrictive rules like the rules
which each congress frames for its
own guidance. There is Just as
much sense in talking of one con-
gress attempting TO control the next
as to talk OF one general conference
controlling the next one. There will
be a revolt in the church if this at
tempt to head off equal representa-
tion by a constitutional bubble is
persisted in.
"a whole lot of things remain to
be done when we receive equal rep
lresentalion. The bishops must be
elected for a term of years, instead
of Tor life, and put on districts like
presiding e.ders instead of being al
lowed to roam all over the world.
We want episcopal visitation in fact
as we'll as in name. We want a
change so that the laymen can help
select the official bolrls. | have
been a member Of church for fifty
years and have never voted Cor
thing In short we want govern
ment founded on the consent of the
governed. indianapolis Sentinel.

A memorandum dated April s,
issued by the British war depart

at will be the duty of company
officers to point out to the men and

Nineteen beautiful years? All,
no Would that they had been,
They may have been beautiful 50
far as private happiness was concern
ed, but Oh, were they beautiful in
in my relation to my fellow beings
1t has taken nineteen years to learn
how to live and yet | have not learn
ed. | have never yet solved the
problem of life. | orce heard a
revered old man say, "When we
get well prepared to live il is time
to die. !" What maxim for moral
philosophy Mary Willard lived
nineteen beautiful years then it was
time for her to die.
Looking back over these years,
those nineteen insignificant years,
i ~ filled with regrets and healt-
a Tor the many times | have
'negice.ed TIE aim of my life and
became a victim % my own weak
pas sions. How many opportunities
have been lost for making some
heart reioicel How many heart
aches have been caused by thought
less cireless words, phrases OF the
devil How much greater than
these is the root of all these As
fast as the spirit Of God and the
voice of nature calls the soul into
higher realms, into true lie, the
snare of Satan steals in and dulls II
to the sense of beauty. But, On
the happiness in the thought that
constant resistance is causing those
snares TO fast lose their power and
the better spirits To hold me more
secure. The moments OF ecstacy
come oitener and remain longer.
Can it be selfish to long for the time
when they will abide with me-
No, for then | shall cease to be a
curse to humanity and become a
blessing. Then can minister t. a

The aim of life is TO dD some lit

How easy it would be to put down
the curse of the liquor traffic if the
individual would wipe the curse

out.
We often fail to conquer elf sim
ply because we are blind to ouI
own short comings. 1t we were
only as keen sighted to our own
frailties as We are to our nelghbors,
we would soon become better. Con-
viction is conversion. There seems

puts our Weaknesses in the back

Egotism is the bane of simplicity
We say it is sadder for man to

and about the losses of the Filipinos. If
the American people only knew of the
slaughter that is going on there in the
Philippines among the natives we would
have a war among ourselves to stop 1t.
They tell us of Spanish cruelty. We have
been vastly more cruel than the Span
ish. We have killed more natives, and
probably with no more provocation. I
have known orders being given to the
American troops which, If put in writ
ing, would read, in effect: Let there be
no wounded among the enemy / have
seen prisoners shot, and for no other rea-
son than that they were enemies and
were wounded. 1 heard Colorado man
offer $40 in gold for two Filipino prison
ers after his company had lost their cap
tain. He simply wanted to shoot them
so as to square the count. That was on
March 25. The slaughter among the ma
tives is something awful, and when the
truth is known somebody will have to do
a lot of explaining. The boys are all
sick of 1t and want to come home"

No man should be old before his time
because of weak stomach, sluggish
liver, shaky nerves and habby muscles.
There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures these
things. 1t brings back youth to the
feeble because it brings back keen appe-
tite and good digestion. 1t tones up the
liver, puts oxygen and life into the
blood, and solid strength into the flesh
and muscles. It contains no alcohol to
inebriate or create a morbid appetite or
craving for stimulants.

to throw even that away before long and as
have had to use clutches for nearly two years, I
think am doing fine. 1 do not cough now and
will have to change my mind about Patent
Medicines, as never had much faith in them;
but you must know that have been treated in
two hospitals and by three doctors besides, and
received no benefit; so think your medicine is
the only medicine for me-"
There is nothing in the world for
constipation like DR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They should be taken in con-
junction with the Discovery" when
ever any disease is complicated with that
dangerous condition. Nothing else that
may be offered in their place will ac-
complish what they will And their re-
lief is permanent. Write to DR.. Pierce
for free advice.
