He found time while in pay “Paree” to tell the newspaper boys enough to fill half a column about Fort Wayne, thus dispelling the common error that a man forgets everything, especially the folks at home, when he strikes the French capital.—Fort Wayne News. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, is not a very enthusiactic friend of the Roosevelt movement for reform in the public service, for the reason that it hurts too many good republicans and is calculated to create indifference among the party workers. Uncle Joe is for the party first, and the people afterwards, j and he’s going to pull the strings on 1 the aggressive Teddy when congress convenes in December. —Columbia City Post. OBITUARY. Polly Steele, widow of the late Washington Steele, was born in Fayette county, Ohio, Aug. 27, 1832; departed this life Aug. 26, 1907, aged 74 years, 11 months and 29 days. Mrs. Steele was the daughter of Eli Zimmerman, many years deceased, and came to Adams county in 1834 with her parents and settled on a farm in the vicinity of Decatur, where she

since resided. She was united in marriage to Washington Steele April 3, 1853. To this union were born four children: Mary Frances Swartz, Emma Koose. Eli W. and John Dayton Steele, all of whom are still living. Os her father’s family, two sisters yet survive, Mrs. Washington Kern and Mrs. Henry Strube. Mrs. Steele exhibited many traits of character that distinguished her and endeared her to her many friends. She was a ceaseless worker, possessing an energy and endurance known to but fewwomen of today. No task seemed too great an undertaking for her. Notwithstanding her thrift had been abundantly rewarded and the efforts of her children to induce her to take life easier, she continued to work, not so much for the sake of accumulating as for the enjoyment she got out of the task itself. Her home was a spacious model of neatness, and its hospitality has been shared alike by rich and poor. Although of late years not an attendant of church, she enjoyed pastoral visits and the discussion of religious subjects. She processed faith in the Redeemer and loved to hear the reading of the Word and was especially delighted with the singing of hymns. In her girlhood days she regularly attended divine services in which were doubtless sown the seeds of the faith which sustained her in her old age. She enjoyed a large circle of acquaintances and intimate friends, who held her in highest esteem for the womanly virtues that made her the devoted wife, the fond sister, the loving mother and home maker that she was. The obsequies were conducted yesterday at the Methodist Episcopal church by Rev. D. B. Kessinger, of the United Brethren church, and her remains were taken to Decatur cemetery and interred beside the last resting place of her husband, there to await the dawning of the resurrection morn. o—■ FOR SALE —160 acre farm in Preble toovnship, three miles north and three quarters mile east of Preble.

Strange things do happen in base ball, things you can’t figure out; it j happens in the big leagues, likewise in the smaller ones. It is with the deepest regret we announce the loss of two games in one day to our friends, the enemy, from Wells county. It happened yesterday right here lat home. The visitors had their bat- [ ting eyes along and walloped two of , the best pitchers in the league, Engle and Alberts, for twenty-one hits. They also played well in the field and deserved to win. The box scores tell the story. In the morning game the locals started off with two runs in the first, made another in the fifth and one in the ninth. The visitors scored two in the ' fourth and three in the sixth, several J errors by the locals aiding them materially. In the afternoon, the old reliable “Cy” Alberts semed to have an off day. and the Bluffton team swatted him for seven hits and four runs in the first two innings. They added another in the third and one in the sixth. The locals rallied in the seventh and chased in three runs before a man was down. With two others on bases it looked like something doing, but a fly out and a double ended it. Large crowds attended both games.

Weak Women T© r Mkk and alllni women, there 11 at least oaa way to help. But with that way, two treatment, mutt be combined. One Is local, one is conMltw tional. but both are important, both assantiaL Dr. Shoop's Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop’s Nif ht Cure—is a topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and all blood ailments. The "Night Cure", as its name implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds up wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop's Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic to the system. For positive local help, use as well Dr. Shoop’s Night Coro

LIND IT WHOLESILE ■ A Harvest of Dollars Don’t farm just for the sake of farming. Don’t farm just for the harvest of grain. Make farming a busl ness proposition. Look to the harvest of dollars. Throw prejudice and sentiment to the wind. Scan your yearly profits with a business eye. See that you get a fair return on the money you have Invested os well as for your labor. Did you earn a fair inhere* on your capital and a fair day’s wages for every day you worked last yearl That’s a hard thing to do when you’re farming high-priced lands, but it’s easy when you’ve got good, cheap land. Farmers in North Dakota make four times the profits they did In their old homes in other states. Tou can sell Wor 80 acres of high-priced land, take the money and buy 300 or 400 acres of just as good or better land in North Dakota and increase your profits proportionately. We are selling good, rich wheat land for 812 to 820 an acre. Some we sold last year produced 810 to 817 an acre in wheat this year. Does the harvest of dollars in any other state make the same showing on the money Invested! And remember you escape the rlaks of a purely commercial business.
