MAIDSTONE USED
It Sticks to Woman $50 Hours Without
Falling Off.

New CASTLE, IND, May 14.-Mrs.
Allen Silcox, of Attica, O., has been
here for the past week taking treat
ment from the famous Bundy mad
stone. She was bitten in January on
the hand. Her hand swelled to such
proportions and the poison became SO
diffused through her system that the
doctors had decided to remove her
arm, when she heard of the stone and
found relief. The stone has been
sticking over $50 hours and shows no
signs of dropping off.
All of this time it has been sucking
yirulent poison from her system.
When full. the stone is dipped in milk
few moments and the poison is taken
out and the stone again applied. The
woman will 60 away completely cured.
as have hundreds of others. This
case is. with one exception, the long
est record for the stone S sticking that
is known.

The Anderson Encampment.

Tie old soldiers returning from the
G. A. R. encampment at Anderson
speak in highest terms of the meeting
in all its phases.
The people of Anderson. from the
mayor to its humblest citizen, certain
ly did themselves proud in the well
come accorded the survivors of the
civil war. The citizens made prepar-
ations on a broad scale, and. figura-
lively speaking, the hinges to the
gates of the city were removed and
the keys were thrown away. 1t is
such magnificent greetings as Ander-
son has accorded that 60 to make the
ssBoys in Blue" feel that perhaps,
after all, they have not lived in vain.
Anderson has established precedent
in the care of its guests, and where
ever the encampment may pitch its
tents In the future the city winning
the honor will have to bestir itself if
it wishes to emulate the graces SO
freely showered upon the old veterans
in the capital of Madison. Nature
contributed its part toward making
the 1903 gathering success, and this
added all the more to the hospitality
SO generously shown in every home.
The G. A. r. men lift their hats to
the city of Anderson.

The Next Vice President.

Neither political party in the ma
tion seems to be much concerned as
regards it's candidate for the vice-pres
idency next year. The position in past
times has not very much sought. and
really. as it presents itself to the am
bition of men, does not seem nearly as
desirable as that of seat in the
United States senate. And yet its
possibilities, always great. have never
been so impressively presented as they
have at the present time. Within the
space Of 60 years five vice-presidents
have been called to the presidency.
and the latest of these appeared at the
time of his election as little likely
to attain the higher Office as any one
who was ever put in the way of such
preferment. With so many lessons on
the subject, and in view of the death
of men so clearly in apparent vigor as
were Garfield and Mckinley, there
would seem to be no need of urging
the Importance OF selecting the most
discreet men for the vice president S
office hereafter; yet it is by no means
certain that the requisite care will be
taken on the subject when the two
parties make their nominations in
1904.

One of the tiercest political fights
ever made within party was made in
indianapolis Thursday by the friends
of James L. Reach in opposition to
the Taggart machine. A primary
election was held to choose members
of the city committee. Both sides
claim "a majority, but on the face Of
the returns it seems that Reach has
won. If Taggart is beaten in In
dianapolis it destroys his chances of
being made chairman of the national
democratic committee to which he as
pired and where his friends expected
to place him. 1t does not seem to be
a good year for machine rule.

The international agricultural con-
gress lately held 10 Rome was mainly
notable for the debate on the German
proposition to take measures Tor the
exclusion of American products from
European markets. In one form or
another this scheme makes a period
ical appearance in some quarter of
Europe, and it is to the credit of the
intelligence of the Rome congress that
ON the initiative OF the italian and
French delegates the German pro-
posal was indefinitely sidetracked for
the excellent reason that Europe must
either buy our food stufIs, 60 without
or, at best, pay much more than pre-
vailing prices. As it is inconteStably
true that Europe cannot get along
without Us, we need not worry about
the continued threats of war on Amer
lean products.

An Infamous Law

Governor Pennypacker'S approval OF
the new libel law of Pennsylvania is a
startling event. After all that has
been said about the freedom, the
power and the influence of the press
in the United States it is astonishing
that any legislature would dare to en-
act, or any governor to approve, a law
imposing Oh the press disabilities as
calling and intolerable as those i'm
posed by the new law in Pennsylvania.
Every newspaper in Pennsylvania op-
posed the measure except one weekly
paper controlled by Quay. The Phil
adelphia Inquirer. a QUAY organ, said
while the bill was pending. "Only
criminals are behind this measure. 1t
will benefit thieves and thieves only. 1t
will make political brigandage past
time and prostitute our most sacred
institutions. 1t will shut out the
light from every form of jobbery and
all forms Of robbery, and the people
will be forever at the mercy of prosti-
tuted politicians.
The enactment of such law marks
an epoch in our history. 1t is dec
laration of war by political bosses and
their tools against the press and
and as such the press Of the coun-
try should make common cause
against it.-Indianapolis Journal.

Tuesday filed suits to test the teach

basis of two and half times tile per-

York township, which contains the
poorest land in Elkhaft could not pay
the statutory wages without exceed
ing the limit of tax levy, and Trustee
Shellenberger for the past two years

A Reformed Fourth of July.

The school trustees are to be con.
graduated on their intent to reform
the Fourth Of July IN this town. They
have instructed Superintendent Cooley
to prepare speech to be delivered to
all the children in the public schools
"telling of deeds of patriotism that
have been done in defense of our
country"
At the same time the teachers are
instructed TO convince the children and
their parents that the present custom
of celebrating Independence day is
"noisy, useless, unpatriOtic and dan
gerous to property as well as to life
and health" The park commission
ers are to be requested to have con-
certs, entertainments and patriotic
speeches at the different parks on In
dependence day.
The people in general will heartily
SympathaSize with the school trustees
in undertaking to transform the
Fourth of July from an orgy of stupid
and dangerous noise into a festival OF
reason and joy. Its unnecessary to
recall the catastrophes, colossal and
individual, which have signalized the
Chinese mode of celebrating the an.
nual festival of American indepen-
dence.
Why Americans should so generally
pay tribute to Chinese idea on the
greatest day of their political year it
is difficult to explain. If gunpowder
were the only appropriate symbol OF
the means wherewith American indie
pendence was acquired the firecracker
Fourth of July would be at least in.
telligible.
But since many years of argument
preceded the firing Of the shot heard
round the world, inasmuch as a flow
of OratOry characterized that epoch to
a degree unparalleled in history, re-
turn to reason and sentiment in OBJ
servance of the glorious anniversary
is not the less to be commended be-
cause it is belated.-Chicago Chron.

Equal to Emergencies.

Great excitement was caused
throughout the world by exaggerated
statements of Russia's purpose with
respect to Manchuria. Evidence that
they were greatly exaggerated is &C
cepted as true, but there is some rea-
son to think that certain feelers were
sent out. The United States appears
to be equal in diplomacy to any emer-
gency, and the secretary of state be-
comes more facile and effective with
each new test Of his powers. So long
as the United States acts independ-
emily it will have powerful influence
for peace and equity among the ma
tions.. 1t may, if it will, fill the role
of an impartial mediator.-New York

The impending issue by the Penn
sylvania OF 1000, 900 new capital
stock directs attention to the earning
capacity of the system and its proba-
bic ability to continue to pay divi-
dends at the present rate on the in
creased capitalization. The average
dividend rate during the past forty
six years has been 6.5 per cent, and
the company has not missed cash
payment in its entire dividend history
of forty-sevep years, although the rate
has varied.

More Government by.Injunction.

Ia discussing at intervals the queS-
ton of government by injunction
the Journal has repeatedly reminded
the inventors of the phrase that the
writ of injunction is an ancient rem
edy for the protection of the rights Of
person or property, that the humblest
citizen could invoke it against the
most powerful corporation if it threat
.ened to trespass on his property, and
that circumstances might arise in
which organized labor might find it a
means Of protection against capital.
Precisely the latter has happened at
Omaha. Readers of the Journal are
aware that an extensive and threat
ening strike has been going on in that
city for some time, over 300 men of
different trades being out. The stu
alton became SO threatening that on
Sunday last the govern or Of Nebraska
issued a statement TO the citizens of
Omaha describing steps that he had
taken to bring about. an arbitration
of the difficulty. Among other things
be had arranged for the committees Of
the labor unions and the Business
Mems association to. meet him on
Monday evening to see if an amicable
settlement could rot be arrived at.
The meeting did not reach any con-
clusion, and on Tuesday local court,
ON the application of an attorney rep
resenting one of the labor unions,
issued an injunction restraining the
Business Mems association and other
persons named as defendants, to black
list or boycott members of the union,
which they had been doing. The in
junction was as comprehensive and
sweeping in its terms as any of those
issued against strikers. The federal
court at Omaha had previously issued
an injunction against the strikers,
and the injunction against the Bust
ness Mems association was issued by
the judge of local court, who is de-
scribed as s'one of the most able and
learned iurists in the state" AS far
as known, it Is the first injunction OF
the kind ever issued, perhaps because
1t was the first OF the kind ever ap-
piled for. 1t shows that the remedy
by injunction is for the protection Of
labor as well as of capital. Of the poor
as well as OF the rich, and that court
of competent jurisdiction will always
grant the remedy upon prima facie
showing that it is necessary to protect
rights or prevent the preparation Of
wrong. A conspiracy to break up a
labor union is, in the eye Of the law,
as illegal as one to interfere with the
business of a corporation or an en-
pleyeI. indianapolis Journal.

There are calculations that the
Kloudike and the Alaska regions will
yield in the neighborhood Of S25. 000,-
900 of gold this season, as compared
with production slightly smaller in
1902. The season has already begun
in the greater part Of the Klondike,
and it is supposed that all the Nome
region will be at work in a few days.
Contrary to the experience of this
part. of the country, the season has
been rather early ipthe far north, and
predictions are somewhat rosy on this
account.

A BIG DEAL.
Over One Hundred Thousand Feet of
Timber Sold.

The Cleveland basket factory of
Plymouth have just contracted for
over 100, 900 feet of timber in this sec
ton. They have purchased over Co.,
900 feet on the j. w. Parks farm west
of town, and 80, 600 feet on the David
Beltz farm southwest of here. The
contract for cutting this timber has
been secured by John Goheen, who is
an expert in that line. Fred Long
has the contract for hauling the same.
This contract will give employment
to quite corps of laborers and will
require several months 10 finish up.
Slowly, but surely. our timber is dis
appearing and ere many years the for
ests that now stand will have all been
cut down.-Bourbon News Mirror.
