The Standard Oil compaiy are at the present time constructing two new lines through Indiana to Lima. Ohio, and as a result they have one crew working near Mo >roe and another near Vera Cruz. The lines are being pushed as rapidly as possible as they are badly needed to transport the oil from the various fields. The manhole to the alley sewer in the rear of the Keubler & Moltz store for some time past has been, clogged up with ice and other debris and every time a rain comes the alley crossing is flooded and the street commissioner is compelled to lay a plank across the alley, so that the pedestrians may keep from getting their feet wet. The work of frescoing the interior of the Holthouse Drug company’s store has been completed and that place of business now presents a very attractive appearance. The ceiling is of a light green and the work on the same is excellent. Peter Gaffer and his force of men had this work in hand and they certainly carried out their task to perfection. Marshal Bohnke was aroused from his peaceful slumbers last night about twelve o’clock by a telephone call from the Clover Leaf depot, wanting him to come to that place and roust out a couple of bums who had taken possession.

The tramps were injuring no one but merely wanted to go to sleep in a warm place. Word received this morning from Fort Wayne announces the fact that Otto Wemhoff, who was operated upon Thursday morning, was resting easier and that the physicians attending were more than pleased with the appearance of his condition.

That he is getting along nicely is good; news to his many friends here. o —. FIRST REAL BLIZZARD HERE. Arrived Early Today irrd the Ice Man Smiles Again. One ctf the most severe snow storms of the season struck here early this morning and has continued through the day, with a gale from the northwest.

Dr. Kelley in his recent inspection of our schools, pronounced the work good, with a marked increase over last year, in interest and character of work. In estimating the success of the past term, we are not unmindful of the fact that back of it all has been the general direction and interest of the board of trustees. This the teachers and all concerned have appreciated. We must recall too, the loyal support of our citizens. Never in the history of the schools have the patrons taken such an active part. Without this assistance of patrons and trustees, the schools could have accomplished little. For all of this the officers are truly grateful.

INFORMAL DINNER (Continued from page 1.) hall, and a program of readings, recitations, vocal and instrumental solos were nicely rendered which more than pleased the many guests. A Valentine shain was a main feature of the evening with bonbons, was what amused the younger children The attendance was large considering the bad stormy weather, and a splendid time was certainly enjoyed by each one present. o BEST OF PROOF. That Hyom«i Will Cure All Forms of Catarrhal Diseases. Testimonials could be printed by the thousand, many of them from Decatur and nearby towns, saying that Hyomei absolutely cures all catarrhal .troubles. The best proof of its unusual curative powers is the guarantee that Holthouse Drug Co. give with every outfit they sell, “Money back if Hyomei does not do all that Is 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. There is no dangerous stomach drugging when Hyomei is used. Its healing medication is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler, reaching every part of the air passages, destroying all catarrhal germs and curing the disease.

GIVING OUT. The Struggle Discourages Many a Citizen of Decatur. Around all night with an aching back; Can't rest at night; Enough to make any one “give out.” Doan’s Kidney Pills will give renewed life. They will cure the backache. Cure every kidney ill. Here is Decatur proof that this is so: Henry Peters, proprietor of foundry and bailer works, living on Eleventh St., Decatur, Ind., says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills did me a vast amount of good, and I have been recommending them for a couple of years and will continue to do so. My work requires a good strang back and when that part of my body was made weak, it was very difficult to continue my work. For two years I was troubled with kidney complaint and could not do anything. Backache clung to me, the attacks sometimes being so sc vere that I almost had to give up. Sometimes I was so stiff and sore that I could not get home, and even in the morning I did not feel as well as I should have felt. I began using Doan's Kidney Pills procured at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store and they helped me wonderfully and soon I' was completely relieved. In 1902 I was glad to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills through the newspapers, and I am willing now that you should continue the publication of my statement. Doan’s Kidney is a great remedy for backache and kidney complaint and everybody ought to know about it. I advise all kidney sufferers to use it.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50, cents.
