We are a race Of quinine eaters, and
the people Of this country consume one
third of the quinine of the world, says
the Scientific American. Although such
doses as prevailed in Cuba and Porto
Rico are seldom taken in the States,
there are few people here who do not
at some time during the year take quiz
nine in some form or other. The drug
is used in the preparation of many pat
emit medicines, tonics, bitters, cold cures
ETC., even in hair tones for external APP
plication. The official figures of the
treasury department show that last
year there were imported into the Unit
ed States 1859, O56,75o grains of quinia.
This means a consumption of something
like twenty grains for every man, wo-
man and child, as there are practically
no exports of this article.

SEES having been paid by the treasury
up to December 81, 1898, the cost of the
war with Spain can be estimated. The
amount expended for the army, over
and above the amount which the army
cost in 1897, is Sal ,245, 927. Similarly the
greater last year than the year before
by $4453S,302. Both together cost $780,
1929. There are bills out not yet due,
and others to come that will run through
to July LIST. These bills will run to $780,
100000. The cost of the Spanish war
thus far has therefore been $3.50, 000, 900.

Moore's name to the union scale is one Of
the best victories the union has won as it is
a big firm and heretofore has employed all

The carpenters believe the strike will now
be settled in a few days. The men who went

each day for the general fund to assist in
supporting the remainder of the strikers.
The assistance from the national brother
hood arrived to-day. The strikers with this

strike indefinitely. 1t is claimed by the
carpenters that no men can be secured from
outside towns, and they now view the situa-
ton with confidence. Philip Patton and

The Charge Made in a Suit Against
Two Boone Commissioners.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON, Ind. June 13.-Another in
junction suit has been filed against the
County Commissioners, Jno. A.. Dulin and
James A. Mclean. Auditor David M. Shock
ley is made defendant also. The plaintiffs
are Benjamin Booher, Robert Stephenson
and j. c. Brown. The complaint alleges that
Commissioners Mclean and Dulin are in
competent, disqualified and unfit persons to
act or fill the office Of commissioner, and
that they have wholly ignored the welfare
and interests Of the county and have unlaw-
fully paid out of the treasury to divers per-
sons and corporations several thousand dol
lars. The complaint sets forth the fact that
the grand jury returned accusations against
the commissioners for impeachment and
that this is still pending. The plaintiffs show
that in spite Of this the commissioners pro-
ceeded to adopt plans and specifications for
a new courthouse and to pass an order for
the advertisement of bids. The further al
dent freeholders asking for the new court
house has been filed according to the pro-
visions of the new law. A temporary re-
straining order is asked against the destruc-
ton OF the courthouse and to prevent the
contract for a new one. The plaintiffs also
ask that Auditor Shockley be enjoined from
giving notice to bidders, and that he be pro-
adopting the plans and Specifications. The
temporary restraining order was granted
and luminous were issued r~eturnable on
Sept. 4.

NEW YORK. June 13.-The Old Dominion
steamship Hamilton. which sailed from New
York to-day for Norfolk and Newport
News, ran into the German steamship Mac

her of passengers. many of whom were del

seen of the Macedonia she was rolling and
surging in the water, evidently in a sink
ing condition. 1t is supposed the missing
boat landed on the New Jersey coast near
by. The Macedonia is a chartered vessel in
the service Of the Ward line and flies the
German flag. She sailed rrom Manzanillo
