The Anderson Daily News, Dale Crittenberger’s newspaper, has been consolidated with the Bulletin, and henceforth but two daily newspapers will be published in Anderson, the Morning Herald and Evening Bulletin. Such a condition prevails the country over, the advanced prices for everything entering into the publication of a daily newspaper being responsible for curtailing the number of newspapers. The Bulletin, under the consolidation will be made metropolitan in style and will better serve the needs of Anderson than two newspapers. The many Adams county friends of Mr. Crittenberger will wish him abundant prosperity under this consolidation. HE HAS RESIGNED (Continued from Page 1.) ada, being called there on. account of the illness of his mother, but expects to return the latter part of the week. The congregational meeting to take action on his resignation will be held Wednesday evening of next week and he will remain here until October Ist.

Nausbaum, Batesville, Indiana, I writes: “Last year I suffered for three | months with a summer cold so dis-| tressing that it interfered with my ■ business. 1 had many of the symp-, toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre- i scription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggravate my case. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley’s Honey and Tar in the yellow package and it quickly cured me. My wife has • since used Foley’s Honey and Tar with the same success." THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o In Prehistoric Ages. Some scientists believe that North America was in contact, during prehistoric ages, with Africa and with Europa, the former connection coming first. Reward of Duty. At the end of life’s brief day we shall be rewarded, not according to the work we have done, but to the faithfulness with which we have been endeavoring to do our duty in whatever sphere.—R«v. S'.

PLEASANT TO LOOK UPON AND GREAT DURABILITY ARE SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF LINOLEUM When we say that the variety in patterns, the different widths, and quality we carry in stock is not excelled, and add that the prices are lower than the other fellow’s, we mean just what we say, We will prove these "latms if given a chance to do so.

TOOK EASY GAME (Continued from page 1.) out—By Burns 1; Engle 1; Moore 3. Wild pitch—Hay. Hits—Oft Burns 12 in 7 innings; off Moore 9 in 6 innings; off Engle 2 in 2 innings. Stolen bases —Wallace, Johnson. Time of game—l:3s. Umpire—Arundel. NOTES. , The games in the Indiana-Ohio league Sunday and Monday do not count in the official standing of the league, this being due to the fact that Portland is playing at Indianapolis and Van Wert at Ft. Wayne. The receipts today will all be pooled and split equally among all six teams. On Tuesday the regularly scheduled games will be played the battle for the pennant will again be on. This information we derived from Manager Holthouse, so dear fans do not be grieved if we lose tw r o to Kokomo today. In the game Saturday Jim Pierce i had the proud distinction of being at , bat twice in one inning and each time i secured a hit. This is a feature that I is seldom seen in a game of base ball I and will go down in the history of • the base ball league as one of the ! peculiar features of base ball. The Fort Wayne Shamrocks are all puffed up over their defeat of the Van Wert team and are getting so chesty that in a few more games the park will not be big enough to hold the entire outfit. There is not much doubt in the minds of outsiders how they defeated Van Wert as the verdict of one and all is that it was “Umpire O’Connell.” With such a record it is a wonder the Shamrocks do not challenge the Chicago Cubs for the world's championship. Hay relieved Moore in the sixth inning Saturday and made an awful mess of it. He walked three men, forcing in three runs, and permitted two hits that resulted in three more runs and practically handed the game to Decatur. Poor Harry is getting his bumps regular. Big “Biddy” Burns will not be seen in the Indiana-Ohio league next season, as he has signed to play with Sharon in the O. P. league. This deal was committed last Friday and he will report at Sharon next spring. We certainly wish “Biddy” success. Cullen, our fast little third baseman has also signed with Sharon, and was to have reported Sunday, but was persuaded to finish the season out in Decatur. The loss of Cullen at this time would make a big hole in the local lineup and we are glad Jack changed his mind. Engle, our chubby left handed pitchier, may also be seen at Sharon next i season, as he has been tendered a [contract to play there. “Monk” is I undecided as to his future and will take some time in studying over the move. We claim “Monk" is some pitcher. Umpire Gardner tried to whip the entire Bluffton team Saturday at Richmond and would no doubt have succeeded had not the police interfered. At that he knocked down Larue and Donovan and had started in on the remainder of the team when the police pulled the scrapping umps away. Gardner knows his business and will tolerate no interference. — o Healthy kidneys filter the impurities , fro mthe blood and unless they do this good health is impossible.

THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. — —o World’s Debt to Bessemer. We owe to Sir Henry Bessemer the improvements in our modern steamships, the strength and lightness of the bridges which cross our rivers, countless modern forms of machinery and their cheapened products, and the skyscrapers of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, which could not have been built save by the use of steel.

He Seldom. Little Walter was told to write a composition containing the word “seldom.” He puzzled hard over the problem for some time, but at last he found a solution, and this is what he handed up to the teacher: "My fa ther owned some horses, but last week he seldom.” The Coster and the Fishwife. “Any one who swears,” says the Bishop of Carlisle, “manifests the beggarliness of his vocabulary.” The greatest indignation is felt in Billingsgate and Covent Garden at this unwarranted slur on the powers of men who seldom, if ever, repeat themselves in a ten minutes’ speech.—Lcuacn Globe. Flight or Clouds. A member of the staff of the Blue Hill Observatory, near Boston, has reported that observations made there show that the average speed with which clouds, between 8,000 and 9,000 feet high, move is 60 miles an hour in midsummer and 110 miles an hour in midwinter. The swiftest flight of a cloud yet measured wee £3O miles an hour. Some Death Bed Rlmeeters. There have been numerous instances of poetical and grammatical deaths. Emperor Adrian made a poetical address to his own soul as death was casting the seal of final silence over his lips, and Margaret of Austria, while almost within the grasp of ‘ death, in a terrific storm at sea, calm- i ly sat down and composed her epitaph ] in verse. The ship weathered the < gale, however, and the epitaph was i not needed.—The Sunday Magazine. i

Prayer for a Day’s Work. The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces; let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonored, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep. —Amen.

Honor Among Engineers. It must be confessed that, with some engineers, things have occasionally not been thought unworthy or improper which, although not in themselves dishonest, would be impossible among lawyers or doctors, which ought to be impossible among gentlemen, and which would be impossible among engineers ts their organization were as complete and their etiquette as strict as in the older professions.— Engineering.

Best Trolley Wheels. It has now been settled without Question, says the that the best trolley wheels are those which contain no lead. The constant arching of the wheel and wire burns out the lead and causes the wheel to wear rapidly. If a trolley wheel is found which contains lead it is certain that it will wear out rapidly. It is very difficult to obtain scrap metals on the market which do not contain lead. For this reason trolley wheels must be manufactured from new metals. Warning to the Avaricious. Reflect that there is little profit and much dishonor in avarice.—Madame De Lambert Restoring Colors In Chair. To restore the colors in a faded upholstered ehair beat out the dust very thoroughly. Then apply a strong lather of casttie soap with a hard brush, and wash off with clear water. Then wash with alum water.

Cough Caution Never, positivelyneverpolsonyotirlungs. Ifyon cough—even from a simple cold only—you should always heal, soothe, and ease the Irritated bronchial tubes. Don’t blindly suppress It with a stupefying poison. It’s strange how spine things finally some about. For twenty years Dr. Shoop has constantly wanted people not to take cough mixtures or prescriptions containing Opium, Chloroform, or similar poisons. And now—a little late though -Oongrees says "Put It on the label, if poisons are in your Cough Mixture ” Good) Very good! i Hereanerforthuveryreasonmothers. and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. No poison marks on Dr. Shoop’s labels—and none in the medicine, else * must by law be on the label.
