The price of refined oil has been increased 30 cents a barrel by the Standard OU company since the beginning of the panic. The oil company explains the increase in price by saying that when men are out of work they stay at home of evenings and read. This means the use of more oil, and the more oil the people want the higher the actopus put sthe price. In other words, the philanthropic Rockefeller, during bard times, levies a heavier tax on the poor man who stays at home and informs himself by reading of nights. By doing this Brother Rockefeller is enabled to make a larger donation to the Chicago university and other institutions of “higher education." Some weeks ago the Washington Herald, an ably conducted paper issued in Southern Indiana, suggested that the two leading parties agree on a program for taking the liquor question out of politics by both adopting local option planks in their respective platforms. When that suggestion was made, its author probably did not suppose for a moment that its adoption stood a fair chance of becoming a reality. And yet, today, appearances indicate that the Democrats will take the lead in declaring for local option and that the Republicans will follow’ suit. Verily, history is being made rapidly in this country nowadays.— South Bend Times. The Democratic State Committee has issued the official call for the state convention for March 25 and 26 at Indianapolis. The convention will meet in Tomlinson hall. Rooms for the thirteen district meetings have been engaged. All of these meetings will be held in the state house except that of the Seventh district,which will be held in the criminal court room, courthouse. Every detail of the convention is being arranged with the expectation that it will be the greatest gathering of the kind ever held by the party in the state. The Anti-Saloon league, according to statements made in this city Sunday, has shortened the time of grace for Indiana liquor sellers to the extent of one year. Hoosierdom is to be dry by 1911. With about fourfifths of the Indiana townships already dry, most of them made so during the past half dozen years or less, the same progress of the crusade will clean up the balance of the state within the time fixed by the league’s prophecies.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. On the first day of February there were only nine petitions pending in the State of Indiana for new rural routes. This fact shows conclusively how well Indiana is covered with a system of rural routes. Since the beginning of this fiscal year Indiana has gained two new routes and the number in operation is 2,115. Altogether there have been referred 2,632 petitions in the Hoosier state and it it one of the best covered states in the Union in this line. The New York World holds Mr. Bryan also blamable for the splintering disaster to the democracy when Parker led it. Plainly Mr. Bryan will not only have to get off the earth, but will have to answer for it that he ever got on it. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. “He has been loyal to every trust," say Mr. Fairbanks’ Republican “neighbors and friends’’ when speaking of him. And what is more to thel point, the fact can be proved. All of the trusts, if necessary, will come for-! ward with testimony. Democrat Want Ads. Pay.

Just a little more balmy weather j and the street commissioner can make a cleaning up shower on the brick ; streets. At present they are in a | most deplorable condition both in appearance and for traffic, be that traffic either man or beast.

The President and Senator Foraker are again measuring swords in the public print, and at the same time ( giving further evidence of the harmony that prevails within Republican ranks. __________ WILL BUILD HOME Dan M. Niblick to Erect a $5,000 Residence this Spring ON FIFTH STREET Will Be Modern—Architect Christen is Preparing the Plans Charles N. Christen, the architect, informed us today that he had been ■ employed by Dan Niblick, manager of the Niblick & Co. dry goods store, to draw and perfect plans for the conI struction of a five thousand dollar residence and that he expected to be able to submit the same in the course l of the next two or three weeks. The i I residence is to be erected upon the ! lot where Mr. Niblick now resides on ; Fifth street, is being his intention i to move the old house away and from what we were able to learn from the arichitect, Mr. Niblick will have a home that is complete in every respect. Mr. Niblick has one of the ' most desirable locations in the city I on Fifth street, it being just the right distance from his place of business and is an ideal location to build a home. The structure is to be modern j in every respect and will be a credit j to our city and add materially to I the appearances of Fifth street. Mr.! I Niblick’s present residence will be : moved to the west part of his lot, facing Sixth street and remodeled so as to make a desirable tenant house. Mr. j Niblick is one of those citizens who I always do things when he starts to and his new home is sure to be one ( of the kind good to look at. o- —— BEST OF PROOF. That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms of Catarrhal Diseases. Testimonials could be printed J?y the thousand, many of them from Decatur and nearby towns, saying that ! Hyomei absolutely cures all catarrhal I troubles. The best proof of its un- ; usual curative powers is the guaran- , tee that Holthouse Drug Co. give with every outfit they sell, “Money back if Hyomei does not do all that is j claimed for it.” Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its formula is freely given to physicians who want to know what they are using when they prescribe Hyomei. It is guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Law by Serial No. 1418. I There is no dangerous stomach drugging when Hyomei is used. Its healing medication is breathed 1 through a neat pocket inhaler, reach- ' jng every part of the air passages, dei straying all catarrhal germs and curing the disease. 0 SAVED THEM, Dr. J. O.

Young Lady of Whitley County Regained Health. The open air cure for tuberculosis which was given such an impetus in this section by Dr. J. N. Hurty of Indianapolis, has been the means of rescuing one young woman in Whitley county from the white plague, and the latest report from the bacteriology or pathology department of the state board of health is to the effect that she is cured. The young lady is Miss Edith Boyd, the nineteen-year-old daughter of ex County Commissioner Robert B Boyd, just west of Columbia City. A year ago she was in a very serious condition and it was a question whether her life could be saved. At first plans were made to send the young lady to California, but finally a decision was made to try the open air cure. Under the supervision of the family physician. Dr. O. V. Schuman, of Columbia City, rooms were arranged at the Boyd home and the young woman practically lived out of doors for the last twelve months. The results are gratifying. The young lady is in the most robust health; in fact, the healthiest member of the family, and it was due mainly to Dr. Hurty’s motto “Air, air; nothing but air.” The last report from Indianapolis shows that the sputum contains no tubercule bacilli and that no other bacteria are present other than may be found in the healthiest person. Several Whitley county people are taking the open air cure. It takes perseverance and a strict observance of every’ regulation prescribed by the attending physician, but the result is worth it »s this grateful young woman will testify. e — PUBLIC SALE.
