THEY ALL SAY SO.

Not Only in Crawfordsville, but Every City and Town in the Union.

If the reader took the time and trouble to ask his fallow residents of Crawfordsville the simple question given below, he would obtain the one answer. If he would read the statements now being published in Crawfordsville, which refer to this answer, it would surprise hi'm to note that they number so many. As many more could be, and may be, published, but in the meantime ask the first person you meet what cures backache? The answer will be, Doan's Kidnejf Pills. Here is a citizen who endorses our claim:

Mrs. D. E. Marks, of 811 east College street, says: "I suffered greatly from a bladder trouble for about three years, and at times was laid up with it. On the fourth of July, 1897, I went to Terre Haute, and on account of the heat and being1on my feet all day the trouble was greatly aggravated and became more severe than ever. As soon as I returned home I began taking Doan'A Kidney Pills which I got from Moffett & Morgan's drug store. Though I was then in bad shape they did me good from the first and I continued the treatment until I had taken five boxes, when my bladder trouble was so much better that I did not suffer from it at all, and have had no return of it since Doan's Kidney Pills are certainly a fine remedy and can be depended upon for curing kidney com plaint."

Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers price 50 cents a box. Mailed on receipt of price by FosterMilburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole apents for the United States.

Remember the name—Doan's—and take no other.

Would Not Suffer So Again for Fifty Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store and they recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever ueed for stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price.—G. II. WILSON, liveryman, Burgettstown, Washington Co., Pa. This remedy ie for sale by Nye & Booe, druggists.

A JUNE WEDDING-

Mr, J. Ward McClelland and Miss Mary T. Long Married at the Christian Church,

Last Tuesday at the Christian church occurred the marriage of Miss Mary T. Long, daughter of Henry Long, and Mr. J. Ward McClelland, The church was handsomely decorated for the occasion, roses and other seasonable flowers being in profusion. The ushers were Messrs. Roy Trout, Clarence Stroh, Walter Breaks and Bart Reed. At 8:30 o'clock, the hour appointed for the ceremony, Miss May Watson, who presided at the piano, began the march from "Lohengrin" and to this the bride and groom, preceded by the ushers, approached the altar. The bride was attired in a costume of white organdie and carried the customary bride's roses. At the altar the happy couple were met by the officiating clergyman, Rev. Fred R. Rosebro, of Danville, 111., who performed the ceremony in his most felicitous manner. Immediately upon the conclusion of the service the bridal party left the church to.the strains of the Mendelssohn march and the bride and groom took a carriage for the home prepared for their reception, north of the city. Both the young people have a host of friends and all unite in wishes for a happy life.

A POOR WHEAT CROP.

Prediction Made By the Statistics.

Case Compromised.

The case of the Rockville national bank vs. the Otter Creek coal mining company has been dismissed in the circuit court, the parties concerned having agreed on a compromise, 'the case came here from Rockville and involved the title to 1,000 acreB of fine coal land.

Ui iU

Bureau of

The Indiana bureau of statistics has reports from 288 townships from all parts of the state, from the township assessors, nine-tenths of whom are farmers, and who obtained the information sent in directly from all the farmers in their townships. These 288 townships report that 1,030,226 acres of wheat were sown in the fall of 1S98. They also state that 120,084 acres of this wheat was plowed up this spring and put in other crops, leaving 910,142 acreB still growing. They report that the condition of this growing wheat is 49.75 per cent-., 100 being an average crop. The reports from the three divisions of the state are as follows: Northern townships no Central townships 105 Southern townships 73

Total number 288 By far the largest acreage of wheat plowed up and put to other crops is in the northern division. The condition of the growing wheat in the Beveral divisions in the townihips reported is as follows: Condition of northern division, 29.00 per cent. condition of central division, 52.10 per cent. condition of southern division, 07.52 per cent.

Thus the reports from a little over one-fourth of the townships, if these be an average for the state, would indicate an acreage sown last fall of about 3,500 000, and of that plowed up this spring of about 500,000 acres, leaving an acreage of about 3,000,000 growing, which is an average area. But many of the reportB from the northern division state that much of that left standing will not be worth reaping, but was left because grass seed was sown in the spring and it was desired, as that was promising, to let it grow. And so the crop promises now for the whole state, upon these estimates, to be about 49.75 per cent, in condition of the acreage that will be cut, and that is estimated at about 2,700,000 acres, and a crop of about 19,000,000 bushels, which would be much less than any wheat crop grown in the state since the bureau of statistics was established, over twenty years ago. The reports generally state that the goods fields of wheat are those upon which fertilizers were used, which seemed to impart the necessary vigor to the plant and helped it to overcome adverse conditions of weather which threatened it in March.
