MIR. REED ONCE MORE.

The significance of word, the felicity Of
phrase, has never been better exemplifed
than in the title of Mr.. Riley's poem in
memory of Myron w. Reed, THE Onward
Trail" All who knew Mr.. Reed will ap-
preciate the naming Of the poem all who
loved him will seize upon its suggestive
ness. Many Of us think of Mr., Reed as
scout one who courted the unfamiliar who
loved to explore, who sought not old, tried
beaten paths, but new untrodden ways. He
had the keen eye, the quick ear, the unerring
instinct of the Indian. There was an ele
mental force in him overbalancing rules and
doctrines; there was a strain of the prini-
tive, the simple that opposed the artificial
ana acquired. He abhorred ceremony, mere
" as such; he loved freedom of thought,
noerty or action, genuneness and spon-
age IN Mr.. Reeds preaching, no assumption
or righteousness, no pretense of spiritual
authority. His listeners felt his oneness
with Themselves, his sympathy with their
failures They felt he, too, lost the way
sometimes that for him the trail was
OCCASIONALLY obscured, but there are many
sometimes, that for him the trail was

good as they themselves.
What heart for afflicton he had What
hand to help Who in Indianapolis does
not remember the sermons delivered after
the ,Johnstown disaster, the Lawrenceburg
flood the death of Garfield? Who has for
gotten the talks given at the annual meet
ings of the Charity Association, and the
plea for hearts alive to the suffering about
us? Who has forgotten the address on
Burns, with its call for loving judgment?
Who does not remember how God was al
ways pictured as a tender, loving Father?
Mr. Reed believed God viewed sin with
other, larger eyes than ours, and he told us
not to be afraid. His was the beautiful gos-
pei Of hope, as strenuous as that of Brown
ing. His was the flag of courage, never
dipping in the face of fear. And his, too,
was the doctrine Of cheerfulness He con-
tinually echoed Mr.. Riley's when a mans
pleased clear through, Gods pleased with
him same you."

AS a soldier in the civil war he was al
ways to the fore. and his daring patriotic
nature brought him a wound that caused
untold suffering as gray hairs began to
streak his locks. In 1863 he became chief of
scouts in the army at Nashville. His duty
Tor two years was largely within the lines
OF the enemy and it is claimed by those
with whom he was associated that he never
knew a moment of fear
On one occasion Mr.. Reed, then a cap
tam in command of q hundred scouts, was
riding through the mountains in western
Tennessee. The command rode into an am
buscade. A big Confederate took aim at
him with a double-barreled shotgun, loaded
with buckshot Captain Reed was wounded
in the knee, but his horse held out long
enough to land him at a point OF safety. 1t
was the most critical moment in the life of
Captain Reed, and he has sometimes ac-
knowledged that his heart was in his
throat when he looked into the barrels of
the shotgun. The wound caused him suf-
feTing many times in after life, but he never
applied for pension. HIS pride forbade.
Captain Reeds regiment was allowed to
put the name Of the battle of Nashville on
its flag because of the gallant service per-
formed IN that engagement.
About 1900 men enlisted in the Eighteenth
Michigan, his regiment, during the war. The
regiment came out of the service 1S8 strong.
Mr.. Reed was member of Abe Lincoln
Post q. A. r., of this city, and of the Colo
was at one time chaplain of the national
organization of the G. A. r. and held a
similar office in the department of Colorado
and wyoming. He was not in sympathy
with the recent war with Spain and his en-
phatic protests against the acquisition of the
Philippines indicated that he was the farth-
est from being an imperialist Socialisto
principles appealed most strongly to the
sympathies of Mr.. Reed and on many occa-
sions he delivered addresses before socialis-
tic bodies.

In these days when so many or
dinary preparations are advertised,
it is significant that DR.. Miles
Restorative Nerviue stands alone
as the one remedy of all others that
never fails to benefit the weak,
weary, nerve-shattered, tired and
worn out victim of wasted vitality.
In every city, in business offices,
counting rooms and banks, in the
homes of all literally educated
men and women - wherever the
friction of worry is wearing out
the nerves and reducing the vital
ity of the body, DR.. Miles Nervine
is received with open arms. Ply
sicians use it, and to clergymen,
lawyers and school teachers it is of
untold value. 1t invariably insures
sound sleep, and gives the over
strung nerves their natural rest.
1t puts new life into the worn out
body, brings springiness back to
the step, brightness to the eyes,

IRISH POTATO FAMINE
PRICES EXPECTED TO REACH 81 A
BUSHEL THIS WEEK.
A Fortnight Ago They Sold at Half
that Price-DinicuIty in
Shipping Them.

It is expected that Irish potatoes which
two weeks ago were selling at so cents a
bUshel, viii to-day sell at 81 a bushel, so
short is the supply. When the present severe
cold weather set in stocks were quite wen
reduced, and it is now impossible to ship per-
ishable freights and if it were it would
take two weeks before the stock could be
replenished Reports on Saturday showed
that large quantities Of potatoes in the
States from which Indianapolis draws its
supplies have been frozen, and will not be
worth the shipping. Considerable quanti-
ties of potatoes in store at Indianapolis
have been frosted, and the prospects are
that for some weeks to come a good many
partly frozen potatoes will be offered for
sale. On Saturday potatoes advanced to rs
cents bushel, and commission merchants
predict 81 a bushel this week. Cabbage and
onions as well, are much higher, owing to
the cold weather.

Doesn't Like the Pharmacy mn.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Since reading the Noel pharmacy bill CNo
Az, which recently passed in the House, I
would like to know why it is the druggists
of Indiana should be burdened, hampered
and menaced by such an unjust law. This
proposed law is IAN act to protect the peo-
pie, to provide competent persons to COM
pound and sell poisons at retail" and prin-
cipaly to provide fat appointment for six
politicians. who viii receive a nice round
salary, and the druggists OF the State will
have to pay the freight" This same law,
(Which is to protect the people, prescribes
what is necessary for a druggist to do in
order TO comply with It. The most impor-
tant section of the whole law relates TO the
fees for registration, certificates, examina-
uons, reregistration, etc. But this law Is
not to apply or IN any way interfere with

evidence that Chnnge Is needed.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
One of the weakest arguments in favor of
our present system of county and township
government is the claim put forward by
\ some persons in. recent issues of the Jour-
nal that inasmuch we have got along
under the present system so far. therefore
it Is the best and no Improvement is possi-
bic. Such an argument might have force in
a country like China, where nothing
changes. The action OF the trustees in con-
vention, condemning any change, was ex-
tremely weak. 1t gave a look of class in
terest in the present system and an infer
ence that they had a vested right. 1t re-
minded the present writer of Bentham's
aphorism, Sinister interests are always
alarmed at innovation" There were plenty
of bad laws in Bentham's time. He was a
great refOrmer. All his reforms were op-
posed by the classes who benefited by bad
laws. Official opostion is strong evidence
that change Is needed.
