Sofia, Jan. 3 The local reports of
the release of Miss Ellen M. Stone
and her companion, Madame Tsilks,

frontier says the brigands are hid
ding in Turkish territory, and are
being hustled by the inhabitants, who
had previously been victimized by
the bandite. A fight occurred in
which the leaders of the brigands
are said to have been wounded. Part
of the brigand band, wearied at the
delay in obtaining ransom for the
for the captives, have deserted, and
are attempting to re.enter Bulgaria,
but the guards are closely watching
the frontier. II is further said that
the whereabouts of the captives is
known and that it is hoped the
agents of the missionaries will be
able to get in contact with the band
in few days.

Under Republican Control.

Manning Times.
Senator Teller was member of the
electoral commission which, by
party vote of 8 to 7, stole the Presi-
dency from Samuel J. Tilden, the
Democratic nominee, and this same
Teller wanted Congressional inter-
ference to prevent the disfranchise-
ment of negroes in the South. To-
day he is still a Republican on all
questions, but silver, and yet he is
admitted to the Democratic caucus,
and votes to refuse' assignments
to Senator McLaurin. Is it any won
der that man with the pride of Nc
Laurin refuses to be led by such
leaders? Look over the roll of the
Democratic Senatorial caucus, and it
is dominated by Silver Republicans
and Populists, men vino never voted
the Democratic ticket in their lives
until the silver issue was sprung, and
only then, because they were person
ally interested in the silver mining
industry. The lifelong Democratic
Senators, aside from a few from the
the South, are small minority in the
much prated Democratic caucus
which Senator McLaurin declines to
be shackled by.

Don't Growl.

New Year resolutions are noted
for their utter worthlessness, but
there is one resolution which does
not seem to have been given much
of a show heretofore, and The Index
would suggest that it be given fair
trial. It is this: Don't growl. The
horde of GROWERS seems to increase
by hundreds and thousands as the
days 60 by. No matter what condi-
tions obtain, your growler finds no
good in them. If it is fair weather,
it ought to be raining. When it's
dry, and when it rains, it rains too
much. When the price Of one farm
product goes up, the very ones he
hasn't got and has to buy also 60
skywsrd in price. It doesn't matter
that the advance helps some other
fellow. He thinks only of self. This

c4ntankerous philosophy gets worse
every minute of the GROWERS life.
He begins with the weather; this
leads to dissatisfaction With the
crops. Then he drags the growl in
to bis family and into all his daily
transactions with bis fellows. Now,
when one takes pencil and paper, so
to speak, and figures on the value OF
the thing, what does it amount to-?
The result is nothing, absolutely moth
ing. Nothing 80 far as what it
brings in to you. On the other hand
it brings into the lives of those
around you deal of trouble and
vexation that ought not to be there.
Try life awhile without the growl.
Greet those around you pleasantly;
and when things 60 wrong, bear the
worry of it all with high courage,
courage that is not sustained by
growing. If reverses come, meet
them bravely and determine to make
the best of it. Make the best of it
in everything, and success will come.
It is bound to come!

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they can

deafness, and that is by constitutional
REMEDIES. Deafness is caused by an
inAamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inAam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
