secretary of the state board of fish
commissioners, Offering him the ap-
pointment of fish commissioner for

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and muscous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

No CANCER OF THE pLEuRA.
Drs. RossOni, Naxxoni and Lapponi
Denounce N False Rumor.

ROME, July 1S.-Drs. Lapponi. Mazzoni
and Rossoni. on being asked If il were
true, as reported that the Pope had cancer
of the pleura and that modification had
set in. all made specific denials of the
rumor. Dr. Rossoni answered the query
with the following laconic but emphatic
written statement:
ANY such news is absolutely false
Drs. MazZoni and Lapponi say the,allega-
tion is so absurd that it does not merit
signed denial. except from the source from
which Ii is alleged to have emanated. How
ever, DR.. Mazzoni authorizes this state
ment: THE nature of the Pope's illness
appears in the signed bulletins and in my
statement made on July 15."
DIR. Lapponi, when asked regarding the
matter. dictated the following: THE rea-
sons for denying the cancer report are that
in the pleuritic liquid nothing specific is
found, neither the elements of Inflammation
of the epitholium nor bacilli of any other
kind which might reveal the presence of
cancer. The cyst, for which an operation
performed on the Pope in 1899. has
was merely dermoid cyst in the nature
of harmless tumor. Moreover, the age
of the patient is too advanced for him TO
Ger 1t would be possible to feel 1t
by objective examination or TO discover
IL by sounding. II the initial disease, in
stead OF being simple pneumonia, had been
no amelioration could have occurred, while
IL is a proved fact that the obtuse pulmon-
airy area has gradually diminished and has
now become merely very small pneumonia
nucleus, which probably is identical with
the area with which the disease originated. :"

usual Precautions Taken.

LONDON, July 1S.-The preparations for
the approaching visit of King Edward to
ireland are completed, and there is every
indication that enthusiastic reception
will be accorded his Majesty throughout his
tour. In official circles the hope is enter
tained that good political and social results
will follow the royal visit. The Irish cities
generally have agreed to present addresses
of welcome to the King
The conservative press of the United
Kingdom declares that the action of the
Dublin corporation in refusing to present
his Majesty with an address in nowise rep
resents the general sentiment of the city,
where the decorations unusually elabo-
rate and the preparations extensive, while
Rebel Cork has not only agreed on an
address, but, like most of the cities included
in the itinerary, is preparing a welcome
for the sovereign on a generous scale.
The King and Queen will leave Bucking-
ham Palace at 12:40 o'clock Monday after
noon, and preparations have been made in
London to give their Majesties an enthusi-
astic godspeed. The royal special train will
leave Euston Station at l p. m, and no
stops will be made until the Holyhead pier
is reached at o'clock, the run averaging
fifty-two miles an hour.
The royal yacht Victoria and Albert ar
rived at Holyhead tonight. She will take
the royal party to Kingstown, whence they
will proceed to Balls Bridge. outside of
Dublin. Thence the state entry into the
city will be made. The procession will be
an imposing official display, including the
Duke OF Connaught, officials of state and
the royal household, with the royal stand
ard preceding their Majesties' carriage. The
Dublin will. however. be insignificant. only
a small detachment of metropolitan police
leading and a single troop of the Royal
Horse Guards closing the procession.
The Victoria and Albert, according to the
present arrangement, will proceed to the
west coast of Ireland, and the King and
his party will re-embark at Berehaven and
sail for Queenstown.
One of the popular features of the stay
of the King and Queen at Dublin will be the
greeting or their Majesties by children of
the city in Phoenix Park, where Queen
Alexandra will receive bouquet from one
of the school girls.
The most extraordinary precautions have
been taken to safeguard King Edward
throughout his visit, in view of the atti-
tude of the factions opposing the recogni-
ton of the King as the ruler of Ireland.
the Nationalist leaders having since the
royal visit was first proposed stated that
the Irish people would not be content to
welcome his Majesty to Ireland as King
until nome rule should have been granted.

A RAILROAD OF BREYITY
ELWOOD'S INDEPENDENT LINE A
MILE AND A HALF LONG.
1t Makes q Mint of Money, and Is
Taxed I'm PrOportion-An Exten-
sion VIII Be Built.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, July 1S.-Probably the
most remarkable railway In the country.
not even excepting Helen Gould's two-mile
independent line in ST. Louis, Is the Elwood,
Anderson & Lapel road. the entire mileage
Of which, amounting TO probably mile and
a half. is located within the corporate linn
its of Elwood. Notwithstanding the brevity
of the line, it does an immense business,
taking care of all the switching and ham
ding Of cars at the American Tin Plate
Company's big plant here.
The road is made up of switches from
the Pennsylvania and Lake Erie & Western
systems here, and a network of tracks in
side the tin plate companys grounds. D.. B.
Edmonds Is the traffic manager of the COM
pany and relates an interesting story of
how newspaper notoriety got the road into
predicament from which ii has not yet
been able to extricate itself. A few years
ago, when the road was first established
Ii was heralded to the world through the
newspapers as a veritable gold mine ac
count of having exclusive charge of the
tin plate company's local business. The tax
commissioners got hold of these newspaper
accounts and relied on them in assessing
the road $4,000 a mile for taxation. This,
according to the road officials is about five
times its value, but they have never yet
been able to secure reduction, the COM
mssioners holding to their original figures.
The company has a total of twenty-one
employees, and the need of a pay car TO go
over the lines, as is the case on other roads,
is obviated by having the men call at the
office every month for their checks.
while never have any head-end COL
lisions," said Mr.. Edmonds, ''yet we smash
things occasionally, and IL costs as much to
fix them as if had a line across the
continent. Occasionally we kill or injure
man, and this costs us just the same" 1t
is the ultimate intention of the company
to build to Lapel, joining the old Indiana
Midland road there and securing a direct
route to the Indiana coal fields for the tin
plate factory here.

ford the representatives of the press and
the telegraph companies ample facilities
At this meeting the question of hotel facil-
tiles was fully entered into and ii was
stated that Louisville would have in a short
time ample accommodations.
National Committeeman Woodson was
urged at the meeting to-day to extend at
once to his colleagues of the Democratic
committee an invitation TO hold next year's S
convention in Louisville and he heartily
agreed TO do so, pledging himself to present
the matter to them in the most convinc-
ing manner possible John w. Yerkes, Ken
lucky member of the Republican national
committee, will also be asked to lay Louis
yilie's invitation before the Republican
committee.

Stuart testified that his father, formerly
British vice consul in Boston, was found
to be insane by experts who examined him
some years ago. He told in detail of his
grandfathers table manners, which he said
were disgusting, and of his alleged disre-

AND TFrERE Is A POOR ATTENDANCE
AT THE WEEKLY DRILLS.
Employment OF Armorers RECON-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 1S-The report of
Captain Crawford, who made an inspection
of the Indiana National Guard relative TO
it's needs in connection with the plan of
reorganization provided by the Dick bill.
was made public at the War Department
to-day. The State has the nucleus for an
excellent organization. Indiana can have
as good national guard as she wants."
says Captain Crawford. There is room
for good deal of Improvement" according
to the report In some instances the at
tendance at weekly drill is very low and
the guard as whole, has not taken good
care of its arms in its possession. Recon-
mendations are made to correct those evils.
The report says: Eighteen infantry COM
panies, sixty-five men each, will require
LILO rifles and complete equipment for in
fantry soldiers. To arm batteries of artil-
lery with magazine carbines will require for
the two batteries of 12O men each, 24O Uni
ted States magazine carbines 80 calibre.'
Captain Crawford states that the field
staff of the Second Regiment reported to
him at Indianapolis and the field staff and
band of the First Regiment at Vincennes.
He says: "These organizations are suffi-
GENTLY armed uniformed and equipped for
service III the nelu. IOuOu the company
commanders, without exception, intelligent,
interesting and efficient. There is no way
apparently of compelling attendance at the
weekly drills, and the average attendance
Is generally very low. Under the State law
fines are no longer imposed for absence and
the only punishment that can be given for
this offense, il appears, is dishonorable dis
charge. The condition of the arms leaves
much to be desired, but would not favor
permitting many of the companies to have
the modern magazine arm If they do not
take better care of them than they have of
the old Springfield 45-calibre rifle. 1 be-
lieye the arms could be well kept by
employing an armorer at S. per month for
each infantry organization and SO month
for each battery artillery"
Rapid progress is being made by the de-
partment in distributing arms and equip
ment to the various States.
An additional rural free delivery service
has been ordered established at Greensboro,
