Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana as second class mail matter. J. H. HELLER, Manager. It is freely predicted in Portland that N. B. Hawkins, the senator from Jay and Randolph counties, will buy the nomination for congress from Cromer. Cromer has the machine and can deliver the nomination to whoever he pleases.

Word was received this morning from Craigville. Ind., announcing the sad death of William Miller, a well known citizen of that town. Heart trouble was the cause of his sudden death. o When the Stomach. Heart, or Kidney nerves get weak, then these organs al ways fail Don’t drug the Stomach, nor stumulate the Heart or Kidneys. That is simply a makeshift. Get a prescription known to Druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. The Restorative is prepared expressly for these weak .nside nerves. Strengthen these nerves, build them up with Dr. Shoop’s Reiterative —tablets er liquid—-and gee how quickly help will come. Free sample test sent on request by Dr Shoop, Racine, Wis. Your health is surely worth this simple test. W. H. Nachtrieb.

IN INTEREST OF CALEB POWERS Petition* Being Circulated for His Release from Prison. A petition may soon be circulated in Decatur in the Interests of Caleb Powers, alleged murderer of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky. Blank petitions to be signed and forwarded to Governor Wilson, of the Blue Grass state, tasking 'for Powers' pardon, have been received here as well as elsewhere all over the country, scarcely a postoffice in th middle west being overlooked. Such petitions have already been circulated in a number of places and at Anderson a large number of signatures have been secured. The securing of names to these petitions is a method started a short time ago in Powers’ interest and the movement promises to reach monstrous proportions. — AT THE OLD PLACE Dick Burrell Will Again be Found in the Future BUYS NEWSTAND Deal Closed Yesterday—Mr. Kintz to Also Resume His Former Work

A deal was consummated yesterday whereby Dick Burrell again becomes the sole proprietor of the city newsstand. Several months ago Mr. Burrell, after conducting this business for nearly two years, disposed of same to M. E. Babcock. It was purchased from him sometime afterward by C. E. Sullivan in whose possession ii remained but a few days when it was sold to L. L. Kintz, Mr. Kintz has been in possession of this popular place of business four months and yesterday he relinquished his claim to it in favor of Mr. Burrell, after several weeks of negotiations between these two gentlemen. The retiring proprietor was a hustler for business and accordingly was attended by an abundance of success. He only retired from the business after receiving a flattering offer to conduct a bake shop, which line he will follow in a short time. Mr. Burrell took immediate possession of the stand, although Mr. Kintz will retain the delivery of the papers until the first of next month. o OPERA HOUSE LAST NIGHT. The Cora Lawton Mitchell Co. opened their season at the Bosse opera house last night to a fair sized audience. The bill “A Wowan’s Revenge” was well received and the company is a strong one. The special ties were fine, the best ever seen on the local stage. Miss Cora Lawton Mitchell, the star of the company, is fan above the average, and is well supported throughout by her company. This company should pack the Bosse to its dors tonight and every night during their stay in this city. It is not often that the people of Decatur have an opportunity to witness so strong a company, and when Mr. Bosse brings In a company like this, the theater going people of Decatur should appreciate his efforts. You will never have anything better for 10, 20 and ,30 cents. Give them a good house tonight. The bill tonight is “A Wandering Jew” and it will please you.
