Being Made to the Indiana Mineral
Springs ( Indiana ) Hotel
AT AN OUTLAY OF $30,000 ,
Crowtl of Enterprise Representing Ex
penditure of 6850,000 Success
ful JIunoKcruent of
It. ! Kramer.
Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property of the Indi
ana Mineral Springs Company is locat-
ted at Indiana Mineral Springs , In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most a wilderness. Now , owing to the
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities of the springs and the heal
ing virtue of the soil itself , together
with the enterprise of Major H. L.
Kramer , there is located there one of
the finest sanitariums in the United
States. The natural picturesque sur
roundings have been made more at
tractive and the hotel is a model of
comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation of
guests who come in constantly increas
ing numbers from every section of the
United States , arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement of the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi
tions that will cause an outlay of over
? 30,000. The improvements will consist
of a new bath house and an addition
to the hotel. The addition will be two
stories in height and will occupy a
ground space 80x160 feet. It provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house , when completsd , will be the
finest in the United States.
Besides the bath house and the
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor a dining hall , a music room ,
a billiard hall , physician's offices and
a barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be elaborately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental fire places
which will be used for heating pur
poses in addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
completed in 90 days.
The improvement and the entire ar
rangements of the hotel and grounds
are made , keeping in view the artistic
effect of the whole , and when the im
provements arranged for are complet
ed the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that a still fur
ther addition to the hotel is contem
plated , and that- plans are now being
prepared for an additional structure
to contain 150 rooms for guests.
Already a quarter of a million dollars
lars has been expended on the In
diana Mineral Springs enterprise and
under the present management greater
growth and development in the future
is assured. Attica Daily Ledger.
Well Filled Graveyard.
In a little graveyard in Philadel
phia , which is about giving way to
the march of improvement , the bodies
are being disinterred for reburial else
where. Tbe cemetery , which was the
burying ground of the Third Baptist
church , does not measure more than
50x80 feet , but fully 1,300 bodies have
been interred there. Whole families
were buried there , and the men in
charge of the work have encountered
from five to seven skeletons in these
tier boxes.

Conan Doyle , the novelist , says that ,

it down : ; . ! say 'rot , ' or who will read
a book straight through and say 'rip

criticise my work. " "It's strange ,

Detroit's 200th Anniversary.
Detroit will give itself a birthday
party next year that will cost a pretty

lamation the other day containing four
suggestions as to memorials for the
200th anniversary of the city : Mark
ing the outlines of the old city , cost
$5,000 ; statue of the founder of the
city , Cardillac , $15,000 to ? 25UOO ; memorial - '
morial fountain , $25,000 to $50,000 ;
memorial arch , $100,000 to $200,000.
The mayor suggests also the buying
of the center of the old city for a pub
lic park.
Debts of Honor.
Purvis & Co. , bankers , of Williams-
port , Pa. , advertised a few days ago
that they would pay in full all claims
against the banking house of Purvis
& Co. , of Baltimore , which failed in
1868. "These are debts of honor. " says
the advertisement , "and will be paid , I
regardless of bankrupt laws or statj j
utes of limitations. " The present Pur- !
vis was a boy when his father and
grandfather failed , and since then he
has had the ambition to pay the debts
of his ancestors.

BURNING WEEDS.
Method of Destroying Thorn in Use by
Railroad * .
At this season of the year one is
reminded of the annual contest waged
against growing vegetation to preserve
railway tracks in clean condition. Es
pecially Is this true of the dirt-bal
lasted tracks In the western states ,
where the expense entailed in keeping
vegetation down by grubbing with a
shovel is a formidable figure , com
pared with the expense of the same
work where tracks are ballasted with
a goo-quality of gravel. For many
years western roads have resorted to
numerous experiments for killing veg
etation , with machinery , the most
successful of which has been the
scheme of subjecting it to scorching
heat produced by burning crude pe
troleum under a shield carried a few
inches above the track. Machines of
this description are used on the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul ; Atchison -
son , Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago
Great Western roads. In the construc
tion of this weed burner use is made
of an ordinary flat car , on the front
end of which ( as it runs in service ) is
mounted an upright thirty-horse-pow
er boiler and a pair of engines. ' By
means of sprocket chain connection
between the engine shaft and car axle
the car is made self-propelling. After
some experience it was found neces
sary to connect the second axle of the
truck with the first , or that driven by
the engine , by means of a sprocket
chain , in order to overcome slipping
due to the lopping of long weeds over
the rails. By this means of locomo
tion a speed of from ten to twelve
miles per hour is easily made , as
when running for stations to meet
passing trains. The water supply for
the boiler and for extinguishing fires ,
which may be set accidentally , is car
ried in a wooden tank in the center
of the car. On top of this tank there
are two air reservoirs , and inside of
the forward cab there are two air
pumps for creating the air pressure
necessary to spray the oil into the
burners. The burner rigging is sus
pended from a rear platform , built
upon four T-rails. The shield and
burners are hung from the outer end
of this platform upon bell cranks , and
an old reverse lever and quadrant are
used to adjust the burners to the de
sired height from the rail. The burn
ers are easily taken down when it is
desired to couple the car in with a
train. The oil tank for supplying oil
to the burners is located inside the
rear cab or just in rear of the water
tank.
SUCKED THE BOTTLE.
Young Pachyderms Take Kindly to an
Artificial Form of Nursing ? .
I owned some young elephants which
I had lent to a showman on the Bow
ery. On going to see them one day
I noticed a man -holding his finger in
the mouth of one of the smaller ones.
I placed my finger in the mouth of an
other and found that the creature
seemed to derive pleasure from the ac
tion of sucking. Immediately I sent
out for an ordinary infant's nursing
bottle. The young elephant drained
the bottle as if "to the manner born. "
It was passed from one to another of
the infant class. Finally they fought
in the most indescribably comical man
ner for possession of the bottle. Then
I fitted a large glass jar , holding a
gallon , with rubber tubes , so that all
could use it at the same time. In
variably they would empty this bottle
be'fore loosening their hold on the nip
ples. They had doubtless been taken
from their mother when too young , or
perhaps she had been killed at the
time when the young were captured.
So effectively did they appeal to public
interest and sentiment that by dint of
skillful advertising the celebrated
"sucking baby elephants" made quite
a fortune in a single season. They
would be led into the ring , where they
would take their nourishment like
human babies , their overgrown size
making this infantile operation very
comical and absurd. The sight capti
vated the heart of every woman who
attended the show. Saturday Evening
Post.
Poker Defined.
Judge Finn of the First Municipal
court , New York , is one of the coolest
poker players on Manhattan island. A
case was before him the other day in
which the defendant refused to pay
a poker debt of $92. The judge asked
what poker was , and five lawyers , with
all of whom he has "of ten played , diffi
dently opined that it was played with
cards. "Is it a game of chance ? " in
quired the court. "That depends alto
gether on how good a player the other
fellow is , " answered one of the law
yers mildly. After much consultation
the court gave a verdict for the plain
tiff. Newark News.
Indian Relics on Golf Coarse.
An Indian ax and several stone ar
rowheads were unearthed today on
the Jersey City Golf club grounds by
Dr. William Pyle and other players ;
they were so near the surface , said
some who did not find any relics , that
a "schlaffed" stroke was all that was
needed to unearth them. The links
is located on low land in the western
section of Jersey City and is believed
to have been the "stamping ground"
for the HackengesacKy Indians.

The Dnober Watch Works , at Canton. O. ,
form the finest and most complete watch
plant in the world. The twin factories
producing both watch movements and
watch cases are devoted exclusively to
the manufacture of high-grade watch
movements and watch cases. Every re
source and every effort is concentrated
In the single direction of making watch
movements and watch cases as nearly
perfect as lies within human power. All
common watches are pendant set. and
consequently dangerous and unreliable.
The Hampden 17 jewel watch is Lever
Set and pronounced by all experts as the
most reliable and accurate watch on
the market. In buying a watch , get the
very best you can afford. It will be the
cheapest in the end and give the great
est satisfaction. Railroad men , in the
nature of their employment , are neces
sarily good judges of a timekeeper. They
will tell you that no watch made equals
the "Special Railway 23 Jewel" manu
factured by the Hampden Watch Co. ,
Canton , Ohio. Thousands of these
v-atches are the standard in train ser
vice , and their accuracy of movement
and reliability under all conditions have
earned for them the enviable reputation
of surpassing all others in the world.
The latest production of the Duebar-
Hampden factories is the smallest ladies'
watch made in America. The name of
this unique production is "The Four
Hundred. " Any lady who is the proud
possessor of one of these gems has a
thing of utility and beuuty not exceeded
by anything that money can purchase.
The mechanical equipment of the Due-
ber-Hampden Watch factories is of the
finest quality , and its experienced work
men stand without peers in the watch
industry. To-day the Dueber-Hampden
watch is and the
supreme ; Dueber-Hamp
den Works the greatest watch plant in
the world. All first-class jewelers keep
these goods , demand the Dueber-Hamp
den watches and accept no substitute.

means that preparation is meritorious.
If you go into a store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex
ample , you feel It has the endorsement
of the world. The judgment of tno
people is infallible because it Is im
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you "something else" in place of
the article you ask for , has an ax to
grind. Don't It stand to reason ? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to he. Why ?
Because he expects to derive an ex
tra profit out of your credulity. Are
you easy ? Don't you see through his
little game ? The man who will try
and sell you a substitute for CASCAR
ETS is a fraud. Beware of him ! Tie
is trying to steal the honestly earned
benefits of a reputation which another
business man has paid for , and if his
conscience will allow him to go so far ,
he will go farther. If he cheats his cus
tomer in one way , ho will in another
and it is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub-
stitutor. Remember CASCARETS are
never sold in bulk but in metal boxes
with the long tailed "C" on every box
and each tablet stamped C. C. C.
