Postal Cards Slow Trip.

Mystery surrounds faded and worn
postal card received by S. Jarvis Adj
ans & Co. of Etna street, this city,
in its ten-year wandering since it was
mailed by the Isabella Furnace COM
pany, Etna, Oct %, 1891. The card
was a notice of shipment of car
load of foundry iron, and said that
the iron had been shipped on that date.
The company ordered a carload of
foundry iron from the Isabella COM
pany a few days prior to the date of
the card, and waited several days for
a notice of the receipt of the order and
the shipment of the material. None
came, but instead the car load of iron
was soon in the yards ready for de-
livery to S. Jarvis Adams & Co. 1t
was found that the card had been sent
but not until last week was anything
heard of it. April 4, 1892, among the
mail of the company in this city came
postal card so faded and worn that
it's message was scarcely discernible.
Where the long-delayed card spent the
ten years in travelling it's five miles of
distance is a mystery as no other post
marks are on it to indicate that it went
far out of it's courSe.-IndianapO

When Courtesy Failed.

Senator Elect McCreary Of Kentucky
was in Washington a few days ago
calling upon his old friends in congress
whom he knew when he represented
his state in the house.
"McCreary was fine campaigner,'
said Kentuckian. "When.6e went the
rounds of his district he kissed all the
babies, praised the cooking of the
housewives, judged the cattle Of the
farmers and adapted himself to all cir
cumstances. One night he drove up to
the house Of a farmer to stop all night
but arrived after the supper hour. The
good woman of the house, insisted on
getting him a supper, but he resisted
and said he would take anything cold
that she had.
''She told him she had some cold
ham and cold biscuits and would warm
the coffee.
"'Never mind warming the coffee,
madam, said McCreary, I prefer it
cold Next morning at breakfast the
good lady handed him cup of sickly
looking liquid, saying, Governor, you
seemed to enjoy the cold coffee so
much l saved some for your break

Americas Unhealthy Cities.

The causes of a given number of
deaths differ considerably between
cities in the United States. If we look
for typical places in different sections
of the country, each having had in 1900
about the same number of deaths, we
shall find Allegheny Pa, with 1885
deaths; Atlanta. Ga, with 1887, and
Denver with 2,484.
Comparing the causes of deaths in
these three cities, we find Allegheny
to have been particularly afflicted
with diphtheria, typhoid, rheumatism,
cancer, bronchitis and pneumonia. At
lanta was pre-eminent among the three
for malaria, diarrhea, paralysis, Group
and brain diseases.
Denver was high in consumption, al
coholism, rheumatism and cancer

Curious Facts About the Senate.

Not only does the senate represent
in it's membership almost every phase
of professional and industrial activity
but many of it's members were expert
enced in legislative work before com

senators twenty-six served in the
house of representatives. Fifteen sen.
atOrs have served as governors of
states. Senator Warren served during
two terms as governor of the territory
of Wyoming, and his second term end
ed with the admission~of the territory
as a state. He was then elected first
governor of the state.
Fifteen senators have a record OF
service in the Confederate army. Nine
senators were in the Union army. Sen

Ed Varney, second son of j. M. Var
ney, was a%ccidently shot and seriously
wounded last Thursday evening at the
Varney home on West Hill by the acct
dental discharge Of a revolver in the
hands of his friend, George Priegel. The
boys were in one of the bedrooms on
second floor and while Ed was engaged
in changing his shoes and socks George
was examining the mechanism of q 80.
calibre revolver belonging to Clarence
Varney which he picked up in the room.
BY some reason unexplainabls the
weapon was discharged and the ball
struck Ed in the right arm, passed
through the muscles below the elbow
and buried itself in the calf of his lett
leg. He was taken to DR.. Glendenning's
office in the buggy with all haste where
the doctor dressed the wounds in his
arm and leg, but the ball could not be
located either by the probe or the X-rays
and is probably lodged against one of
the bones of the leg. The wounds are
not dangerous, but have given Ed con
siderable pain and will lay him up for
some time. While Ed suffers much
physical pain, it is nocomparison to the
mental anguish and regret suffered by
his friend George Priegel over the UNI
fortunate accident. He is not held
blamable, however, and if the bad scare
the boys have received will break up the
bad habit too many boys have of carry
ing and handling revolvers, some good
may result from the commemorative

While the republicans are telling so

trusts if they only get a chance, a glance
at the Congressional Record of the 10th

bill rather than let it come to.a vote is

to their present and past professions. 1t
happened in this way. The permanent

Senator Dubois, of Idaho, offered an
amendment to the bill providing a rem

the recommendations of the President
In his message to congress. In offering
the amendment Mr.. Dubois said: 81

carries out fully the suggestion of Presi.

publicity shall be given to the trusts"
When the vote was taken on the amend.
ment the republicans voted against it to

republicans are going before the country
with, and pointing with pride" to?
Does any man ever expect relief for his
