From the tone of the district convention held at Muncie, it looks to a man up a tree as though the terms had been agreed to and the bargain made for the sale of the congressional nomination to Uncle Nate Hawkins, of Portland. Uncle Nate poses as both Cromer and antiCromer, and if the nomination is placed on the market Uncle Nate will go the limit and pay the demands as required by the former congressman. As to merit, he is simply outclassed, and as a congressman he would simply rattle like an overgrowth of dry bones in the busy seat of Congressman Adair. Mr. Bryan is taking unusual care that he shall run off with nothing that doesn't belong to him. If the people of the democratic party want him, there can be no trouble in saying so. If they do not want him. to say so will be just as easy. Some may complain that this course means a lot of useless bother because there's but one outcome possible, anyway; but then it might help a few of the downcast irreconcilable® to keep the peace. That would be somewhat worth while. —Ft. Wayne Sentinel. Anderson was handed the congressional convention on a Cromer platter without asking for it. It will be a delegate convention on March 26. This city will put on holiday attire for this convention. The absorbing question today in Muncie is Cromer a candidate for congress? No one can tell. He is all smiles, which split his face from ear to ear—but as silent as a sphinx about his congressional candidacy. He owns the district. — Anderson Bulletin. The harmony program as being engineered by the Fairbanks mach ine in Indiana, does not harmonize with the editor of the Anderson Herald. The latter has unearthed a plot for the delivery of the Indiana vote to Cannon, Knox or some other ultra conservative, after the imitation skirmish by Mr. Fairbanks. The program is to leave no second choice I for Taft. The Indianapolis News ’ should harmonize the Anderson editor. The Kokomo Daily News and Dispatch have consolidated, three newspapers in that large and thriving

SECOND EVENING “A True American” Reproduced Successfully at Opera House HOUSE WELL FILLED I Home Talent Event Present- ’ ed by Mr. Thomas for the Pocahontas That interesting play "A True American” which abounds in pleasing situations. exciting climaxes and which appeals to the patriotism of all who witness it, was repeated at the Bosse opera house last night by the home talent cast, and it wa, but a repetition of splendid work in singing and acting Without regard to the inclement weather, another large audience witnessed the play as staged under the direction of Henry Thomas and complete satisfaction was manifest among all who were fortunate in being present. The ladies of the Pocahontas lodge, under whose auspices the play was given, have reaped a bountiful reward from their noble efforts La, disposing of the tickets and thus their obligation in contributing for their new state institution will easily be met. It is needless to rehearse the good work of each member of the cast as the entire company did exceedingly well, but we believe Messrs. Carroll and Holthouse deserve special mention for their clever specialties, while the chorus also made a decided hit. The ladies of the Pocahoitas wish to publicly thank the cast, chorus and solists and all who so kindly assisted in making their benefit the success it was. o FAMILY CARES. This Information May Be of Value to Many a Mother in Decatur. When there is added to the many cares inseparable from the rearing of children that affliction of weakness of the kidneys and auxiliary organs, the mother's lot is far from a happy one. This condition can be quickly changed and absolutely cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. When this is known, the mother's burden will be lighter and her home happier. Mrs. N. Case, living at 604 Russell St., Decatur, Ind., says: "In 1902 I gave for publication a statement recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, because they had cured my little girl. She had been troubled for fifteen or twenty months with her back and whenever she caught a slight eold, it always settled in her back, She was constanly complaining of a dull aching pain over her kidneys. I gave her several remedies that were highly recommended for such trouble but they gave little relief. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got her a box at the Holthouse Drug Co.'s store. They cured her and until this day there has been no return of the complaint. My husband has also used Doan's Kidney Pills for pains across his loins and they cured him. Doan’s Kidney Pills have my endorsement.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milbum Co.. Buffalo. N. Y.. Sole agent for the United States. Remember the name—Doan'e? -and take no other.

Causey, who died in Wabash township last November. The will is very short, providing for the payment of debts, then gives and devises all the residue of his estate, both real and personal to Catherine, his wife, to be her heirs forever. Jt was writtea in Randolph county and the witnesses, J. H. Williamson and L. D. Lambert have been dead for twenty years, in fact everybody connected with the will excepting Mrs. Causey, have joined the silent throng in the great beyond. The manner of probating such a will requires two affidavits to be filed by acquaintances of the deceased, stating that the signature is genuine and that the decedent was of sound mind. These affidavits were duly filed by John W. Peter Hoover. The widow Catherine Causey js named as executrix. Clerk Haefling says this is the first will ever probated during his connection with' the clerk’s office, where both witnesses and the writer of the will were dead. —o ——- GOOD FARM near Hartford City, Ind., to exchange for Hardware stock.

OUR NATIONAL DANGER. Time to Cry a Halt Before Complete Wreck Results. There are thousands, both men and women, who do not take time to eat properly. They rush through life, and | as a result we have an age of indiges- | tion. nervousness, irritability, sleepless nights and morose disposition. Our national danger is stomach weakness, due to the strenuous life. V/ith the discovery of Mi-o-na tablets which strengthen the walls of the stomach and stimulate secretion of the digestive juices, there is no longer any excuse for indigestion. Sick headaches, palpitation, yellow skin and coated tongue are a few of the many distressing results of indigestion that Ml-o-na never fails to cure. Holthouse Drug Co. sell Mi-o-na in 50 cent boxes, and guarantee to refund the money if jt does not give complete satisfaction.
