The Ohio Republican convention last week was absolutely dominated by Taft and his band-wagon outfit, including Boss Cox, of Cincinnati, whom Taft denounced two years ago. The Foraker faction was just covered up and forgotten. But this faction will not allow itself to be forgotten long. It Is not built that way. It will soon be up and doing—and what it will be doing will be something fierce. In times past the Ohio Republicans have usually buried the hatchet, but it will not be so now. Already the Forakerites have stirred the 50,000 Ohio negroes to revolt. The blacks have resolved to stick to Massa Foraker and have served notice that they will have nothing to do with Big Bill. So far as a disinterested observer can see, the logical thing for Ohio to do is to go Democratic next November. Several readers of The Commoner have called attention to the fact that under the system of guaranteed banks it would not be necessary for the banks to keep as large a reserve as is now required. After every little flurry the reserves pile up in the banks out of an abundance of caution and business is to that extent disturbed. If the depositors were sure of their money there would be no danger of runs and the banks could loan down to the legal limit without fear. This, in itself, would release a large amount of money and prevent the periodical embarrassment of business. — Commoner. BLOCKADED. Every Household in Decatur Should Know How to Resist It. The back aches because the kidneys are blockaded. Help the kidneys with their work. The back will ache no more. Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney Pills do this. Mrs. Herbert Stout, of 302 south Morgan St., Bluffton, Ind., says: “Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney complaint that had bothered me for over a year. The trouble started with a dull, miserable feeling in the small of the back and grew worse and worse until it became so bad that I was alarmed. The slightest cold or over exertion settled in my back. There were sharp shooting pains all through my back and limbs and I could hardly do my housework. Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice and I got a box at Chas. C. Deam’s drug store. I am glad I used them, because they cured me and that cure has remained permanent to this day. I am glad to confirm this statement I gave you in 1902 for publication regarding Doan’s Kidney Pills." Plenty more proof like this from Decatur people. Call at Holthouse Drug Co. and ask what customers report. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milhnm Co., Buffalo.

Special Daily Letter: Indianapolis, Ind., March 13. —The present attitude of the Indianapolis News on the local option question has caused a good deal of comment, but all persons who know the facts—know who and what are behind the News—not in the least surprised. The News is a C. W. Fairbanks organ. It is owned by his relatives and has been tied to his political fortunes ever since John H. Holiday sold the paper to its present owners in 1892. In 1894 a compact was made at a meeting in Evansville between the Republican state managers and the organized liquor interests, whereby the liquor interests agreed to give their support to the Republican party in return for favors. C. W. Fairbanks was represented at the Evansville meeting by his personal political manager. From that time on to the present the Republicans and the liquor people have worked together. Mr. Fairbanks organ. the Indianapolis News has tried to cover its own tracks by various false pretenses and (double crosses and by slanderous charges against Democrats and the Democratic party. It has even pretended to favor the passage of a local option law. But it was not sincere. Now that a local option law is a strong probability the News comes out in violent opposition to it. In doing so it is only keeping faith with its friends, the organized liquor interests. The charge is openly made here that the News —which is the spokesman not only for Fairbanks but also for the republican state machine—is in the direct employ of the distillers. And indeed it looks like i it. It is a common remark that the . cash register is a piece of furniture | , that is never lost sight of in the News t office. Authentic word has come to Indianapolis that certain persons posing as Democrats, have traveled abroad in the state peddling the same sort of stuff that the chief Fairbanks organ in this city dishes up about the democratic party Jmd its organization. The names of these persons are frequently heard. Their selfish purposes are declared to he so evident, that no one should be misled. With a curious ambition they have been trying for a long time to get the party reins J in their own hands and those who know them best say no question of party welfare or success will have any weight with them. It is said further that anything was to be looked for from these disturbers, because they have the backing of the Indianapolis ) News and the republican papers gen-

• erally in all their trouble-making | schemes. But it was hardly expected that they would assail their party organization by the dissemination of unqualified lies to the extent that is charged, it is a mighty poor time for that kind of work. Republican State Chairman Goodrich being receiver for> a bankrupt railroad, has turned the work of the committee over to Secretary of State . Sims. Mr. Sims is paid a salaiy of >7,500 a year by the taxpayers to attend to the duties of his office, but the chairmanship will take his time ■ from now on. As a matter of fact few republican officials, either state or national are making any pretense of ea.ning their salaries just now. They are all working in politics, and the people's business can either wait or receive that sort of attention which ( is likely to lead to more graft investigation. FORM THE CIRCUIT A. A. Butler Attended a Meeting of Fair Secretaries at Celina Ohio TWO STAKE RACES A New Feature that Should Attract the Race Men1908 Fair to be Hummer A. A. Butler, secretary of the Great Northern Fair association, attended a meeting of the fair secretaries from Mercer, Van Wert and Paulding counties, Ohio, and Adams county, Indiana, held at Celina yesterday. As a consequence a circuit was formed whereby ' each town will help the other in the way of securing attractions and race entries. It was also decided that two >SOO stake purses be given by each as- ' sociation, thus giving inducement? that will bring a faster class of horses. These purses will be for the 2:27 trot on Wednesday and the 2:20 pace on Friday. The enries for the stake races close May Ist, by which time >5.00 must be posted as entry fee, another >5.00 is due on June Ist • and >IO.OO July Ist. Mr. Butler assures us that the races this year will far exceed anything of the kind ever given in this section and this should prove a great attraction. At the nerJt meeting of the association a speed superintendent and a track superinten- ' dent, who are fully competent, will b e , chosen. The 1908 fair in Decatur is to be a record breaker in every department. —-— o . , 1 Stop That Scratching Just as long as you have dandruff your head will itch.

■ ASSESSORS MEET r f — 8 r Assessors of Adams County and Their Deputies Met at Berne Today a MUCH BUSINESS t Relative to the Work, Rating, Etc., Was Transacted An Interesting Session The township assessors of Adams county were in session at Berne today and much business relative to this year's work was transacted. The twelve assessors of the county and their deputies have meetings of this nature each year to equalize their work. At today’s meeting the body discussed equalization of their work and as near as possible the ratings will be uniform over the county. The assessors have no little task in visiting every home and appraising the real estate and other taxable property, hence these meetings are beneficial in that many new ideas are presented that may be of a great advantage. William Blackburn represented Washington township at th e meeting. The tax will not be as high this year as ' last, but this does not lessen the work of the assessors who have more to do than is expected by many. They began work the first of this month and will be busy for sixty days. The Berne meeting was most interesting. *♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦*«« ♦ THE DECATUR ♦ ♦ CHURCHES. ♦ *«♦+*+*♦+*+++« Communications intended for this column should reach this office by 10 a. m.

Klaw & Erlanger's Production of Biblical Romance April Ist When the curtain is drawn at the ; Majestic theater. Fort Wayne, on . Monday evening, March 30, the most elaborate, magnificent and historical ' correct preduction will be disclosed that has ever charmed and enthralled a theater audience, for this will be the premier of the Chicago Auditorium production of ‘ Beu Hur” in i Fort Wayne. More than three years have elapsed since “Ben Hur” was presented in Fort Wayne. At that time hundreds journeyed from this vicinity to witness it. No doubt the same excellent patronage will the forthcoming engagement. “Ben Hur” with its lustrous Star of P°th-ehe.w., it« camels. Arabian steeds, Oriental trappeiy, and mimic splendor of the “gorgeous East" is beyond dispute the most elaborate spectacle ever staged in the history of the world. Its series of 17 scenes present to the eye a feast of multifarious beauty and variety, all set to a symphonic accompaniment of'greceful music. The exciting episodes, such as the gallery scene with its horde of chained slaves; the sea fight, the rescue in midsea and the thrilling race with two chariots and eight horses, combined with the picturesque scenes illustrating the Wise Men in the desert, the moonlit lake in the Orcha.'d of Palms where Ben Hur and Iras enjoy seclusion and make love in Iras’ barge, the palm-waving worshippers on Mount Olivet, and the Grove of Daphne with its nymphs dancing . in the skins of beasts to the music of kissing cymbals simply captivate audiences wherever it is enacted. “Ben Hur” appeals to all classes, I all ages and all denominations of the Christian faith, and draws to it, as to a place of worship hundreds of thousands who seldom, if ever, set foot within a theater. The person of the Savior is never made to appear bod- ! ily in the play, yet in the scene in which the healing of the lepers is 1 implied the approach of the Master ’ iis indicated by a stream of p<ir e white ' light amazing in its effectiveness. This scene is the most remarkable of the play and is heightened' in impressiveness by the singing of a chor- ’ us of one hundred voices, joining in “Hosannas” of praise to the Lord. 1 The engagement of “Ben Hur” is for three nights only, opening on Mon day, March 30, with a special matinee * (performance on Wednesday, April111. 1 (Seats for the “Ben Hur” season will ibe placed on sale Thursday, March ‘ 26, and the scale of prices will be ' from 50c to >2.00. Mail orders (accompanied by remittance) will be fill- ' ed in order of receipt. All commun- ■ icaticns should be addressed to Man- a ager Rice of the Majestic theater, Ft. Wayne.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT. Science Has Now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion. The first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines, so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, so that the food digests readily and its nourishment is retained in the system to build up energy and vitality. Use Mi-o-na and you will have no more sick headache, heartburn, bad taste In the mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of indigestion. Holthouse Drug Co. gives with every 50 cent box of Mt-ona a guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy cures. Democrat Want Ads. Pay.

PILLS AND PILES. A prolific cause of Piles is the use : of cathartics and pills of a drastic, violent nature, which is always followed by a reaction on account of the resinous, drying properties they contain. There are other causes, but no matter what the cause or what kind of Piles, Dr. Leonhardt’s Ilem-Roid can be relied upon to cure —to stay cured. It s an internal remedy that removes the causes of Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Suppurating Piles. A guarantee goes with each package containing a month’s treatment.
