Yet Senator ; Hawkins went over to Muncie, to j Cromer’s Observer printing office, to j get his book (we suppose its the “Life and Political Adventures of i 'Uncle Nate’)*’ printed. Ke has been ' circulating them in Wells, Adams and 1 other counties of the district but . i none in Jay county so far as we have j been able to learn. Maybe he doesn't 1 want his Jay county neighbors to ' know just how popular he is for ' fear that 488 votes which Farmer 1 Weisel buried him with two years ] ago wouldn’t be a marker to what i he would get next November in case ' he BIDS STRONG ENOUGH to get, fe the nomination. —Portland Sun. 1 1 “■■■■' 1 The secretary of commerce and la- , bor issued a sweeping order to all commissioners of immigration inspec- 1 tors in charge directing them to con- 1 fer with the police in their respective . jurisdiction with a view to securing , the "co-operation of the police and i detective forces in an effort to rid the ■ country of alien anarchists and criminals falling within the Jaw relating to deportation.” As long as our country ] permits foreign immigration upon such easy terms, just so long will the coun- i try be overrun with such flannel- 1 mouthed blood reeking destroyers of 1 • our life and property.

All Itching Skin Disease Which are Not Hereditary lnsta n tly Relieved by Oil of Wintergreen. Can Eczehia be cured? Seme physiciank say ‘ Yes,” Some say "No.” The real question is, “What is meant by Eczema?” If you mean those scaly eruptions, those disease which make their first appearance, not at birth, but years afterward, and perhaps not until middle age—then there can no longer be any question that these forms of Eczema are curable. I Simple vegetable oil of wintergreen mixed with other vegetable ingredients, will kill the germs that infest the skin. Apply this prescription to the skin, and instantly that awful itch is gone. The very moment the liquid is applied, that agonizing, tantalizing itch disappears, and continued applications of this external remedy soon cure the disease. We carry in stock this oil of wintergreen properly compounded into D. D. D. Prescription. While we are not sure that it will cure all those cases of skin trouble which are inherited, we positively know that this D. D. D.

HAVE REVOLUTIONIZED OLD BANKING METHODS. Work of Two Men In New Field of Finance Has Shaken Up the Old Style Bankers. That two men in two years’ time' eould introduce and make successful innovations in finance that amount to a revolution is a feat sufficiently remarkable to make the personality of these me® of more than ordinary in- j terest. Neither of them is a banker by profession. Perhaps that is one, reason why they have worked along new lines instead of following the beaten trails of the banking business. When F. W. Shumaker and G. H.| Middlebrook came to New York a little over two years ago and entered the business of financing industrial cor- | porations, there was only one recog-; nized method of floating such under-1 takings. The promoters went to one of the old line banking bouses and paid a high commission for their cap- j ital, if they got it at all. Mr. Middle-' brook and Mr. Shumaker decided that there was a better way. Their way was to reach the small In-1 vestor, and their methods have been so successful that their firm, the Sterling Debenture corporation, now has

I "Mwy • A’M Ik Ik O. H. MIDDLEBROOK. one of the largest banking houses in New York, with several hundred employees and a “following” of thousands. The new telegraph company, the Telepost, with an authorized capital of $18,000,000; the Oxford Linen mills, with a capital of $2,500,000; the Telegraphone, the O’Brien Electric Light and other large undertakings are among those financed by this concern. Mr. Middlebrook, president of the corporation, belongs to the fourth generation of his family, who have lived in Ballston Spa, N. ¥., since 1770. He was born there in 1865, graduated from the Albany Business college and took the classical preparatory course in the Beloit (Wis.) academy. From 1888 up to the time he went into the banking business with Mr. Shumaker Mr. Middlebrook was engaged in various large publishing enterprises, in which he was associated with Belford, Middlebrook & Co., John D. Morris & Co. and Doubleday, Page & Co. This is not the ordinary training for a banking career, but it seems to be a very desirable one. Mr. Shumaker, the secretary and treasurer of the Sterling concern, was born forty-one years ago near Red Wing, Minn. A few years’ experience in country newspaper work was followed by opportunities for education, and In 1887 he completed the Oak Park (Ill.) high school course and in i ? w .. .4? w■ I «• •> WHEt .z- >'■» ■ ■ V. W. SHUMAKER. 1892 received bls degree from Beloit college. From that time until 1896 Mr. Shumaker was engafced In publishing, building up a business that had branch offices in ten cities. These interests he sold to the Werner company of Chicago in order that he might be free to take the position of eastern manager for the sale of the Century Dictionary. In 1888 he made a tour of Africa, India, Ceylon and Australia for the London Times and after completing thia trip returned to the United States and was connected with the publishing houses of John D. Morris of Philadelphia and Doubleday, Page & Co. of New York. Both are still young men. but they have gone far enough to teach old line bankers that capital can be found outside of Wall street for legitimate undertakings. Any number of brokerage houses that up to a few months ago refused anything less than 100 share •rders are now advertising that they will accept commissions for the purchase of anything from one share of stock upward. This is the strongest kind of evidence that the originators of the Sterling method of financing knew what they were doing when they began in 1906 to serve exclusively the Investor whose capital is limited to a few hundred or a few thousand dollars and who is not looking for speculation, but for safe Investment.

The characters are ail introduced well before t®e end of the first act, and the InterestNs cleverly sustained throughout.. Few, if any, other musical farces of this type can claim as much just a few of them can keep an an dience in the land of laughter for so long a time. The book, the music and the musical numbers give the

clever comedians and comediennes in Scott & Raynor’s company splendid opportunity for a display of their talents, and they certainly acquit themselves well, judging from the praise given them in other cities. The piece is due at the Bosse opera house on Thursday evening next. Tickets will be on sale at the Holthouse Drug Co. Wednesday. REAL ESTATE Farm and city property to sell and buy.
