Bnbered at the poetoSoe at **c*nIndiana as secead ciass mail matter. J. H. HELLER. Manager. Tammany Boss Murphy says W. Bourke Cochran was removed from the various committees on which he has served for the past few years because Democrats only are wanted on such committees. The obvious meaning of this is that Cockran is no longer a Democrat in the eyes of Bess Murphy. That’s the trouble with political bosses everywhere. Just as soon as a man refuses to obey the dictums of real or would-be bosses he ceases to be a Democrat in their estimation. Principles cut no figure in such matters. As a rule, political bosses are very little concerned about principles. It is the flesh pot that occupies his attention.—South Bend Times. ARE LIFTING THE QUARANTINE Smallpox Situation jn French Town, ship Clearing Up. The county health officer today drove to the Daniel Engie home in Nottingham township, for the purpose of fumigating the residence and removing the quarantine for smallpox Engie is the man *bo contracted the disease at Elkhart, Ind., from sleeping with a friend who had the disease but did not know what was the matter with him until Engle had been exposed. Engle did not suffer from the disease in a sever € form, in fact most of the cases which have been reported this spring have been very mild. In the neighborhood near the Wells-Adams county line wher e the disease has been epidemic only one new case is reported and that is a small daughter of Daniel Gerber, in whose family there were already sev. era! cases and this will now make the entire family with the exception of Gerber himself, victims of the malady. The doctors do not appear to apprehend a great many more cases, for the time for those who were originally supposed to have been exposed to take it has expired, and there probably were not as many exposed to the disease as was at first feared. Many were simply put under quarantine for safety’s sake—Bluffton News. NOTICE.

A BUSINESS DEAL Frank McConnell Becomes Owner of the Model Cigar Store W. H. LINDSLEY IS OUT Deal Was Made this Morning After Hanging Fire for Weeks A deal was consummated this morning in which W. H. Lindsley disposed of the Model Cigar store to Frank McConnell. For nearly* two years Mr. Lindsley has owned this place of business and has enjoyed a liberal patronage. The deal has been hanging fire for about two months, but not until this morning could the interested parties agree on all conditions. The retiring proprietor while here has made a host of friends, who will regret to leam of his departure, as he expects to launch into the lumber business in Michigan. He will, however, remain here for four or five weeks. Mr. McConnell needs no introduction to the people of this city, having lived In this county for many years. He has lived on a farm north of the city until recently, when he moved to town. The new proprietor will add another pool table to the business, and also engage in selling tobacco and cigars to wholesale trade. His many friends wish for him success in his business venture. NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY. Os Special Value to Many "Here in Decatur. A notable medical discovery and one that appeals especially to many people in Decatur is the combination of stomach remedies in the Mi-o-na treatment This preparation has worked wonders in cases of indigestion or weak stomach. It acts specifically upon the walls of the stomach and bowels, strengthening and stimulating them so that , they readily take car e of the food that | is eaten without distress or suffering, j So positive jre the good effects following the use of Mi o-na that the rem- j edy is sold by Holthouse Drug Co. under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it fails to cure. With an offer like this, none can afford to suffer with indigestion or stomach troubles. A 50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do more good than half a dozen boxes of ordinary ligestive tablets. o —— THEY KNOW IT. Thousands of people throughout the country know that the ordinary remedies for Piles —ointments, suppositories and appliances—will not cure. The best of them only bring passing relief. Dr. Leonhardt’s Hem-Roid is a tablet taken internally that removes the cause of Piles, hence the cure is permanent. Every package sold carries a guarantee with it. It is perfectly harmless to the most delicate constitution. A month’s treatment in each package. Sold for 81.00 at Holthouse Drug Co, or Dr. Leonhardt Co., Niagara Falls, N. Y.

ISSUED BY THE DEMOCRATIC STATE PRESS BUREAU. Special Daily Letter: Indianapolis. March 17, —Already the advance guard of the convention is beginning to appear in Indianapolis. Friends of some of the candidates are already on the ground looking the situation over and preparing for the real work of next weefc It is apparent that there will be some ear nest contests in the convention, but everything indicates that they will all be conducted in the best possible spiriL Good nature, confidence and enthusiasm prevail among all Democrats candidates and their friends. This condition is in marked contrast with the bitterness that has come to the surface among the Republican politicians who are taking part in the show that will open here April Ist. As has been said before, the warfare between Che Republican candidates for governor. Watson, Taylor and the two Milers, baa degenerated into a personal scrap tn which all the different factions of the party are involved. And it is a remarkable fact that, aside from the friendly interest that seme have for one or another of the candidates, very few Republicans care about the result of their convention. The outlook for the election is considered too doubtful to stir up any special enthusiasm. On all sides, and from persons belonging to all parties, is heard denun elation of the Indianapolis News, the organ and mouthpiece of Mr. Fairbanks and his machine, A citizen of Anderson writing to the Indianapolis Sun. says that “right in line with Mr. Ralston’s truthful and manly declaration that the Indianapolis News is intentionally ignoring the movement of the brewery interests favorable to the Republican candidates for governor” is the fact that a ‘ confidential” brewery representative was sent from that city to the Republican state convention as a Watson delegate. Watson being the candidate of the Fairbanks outfit, including the News and the allied liquor interests. To add variety if not spice, to the Madison county delegation, a prohibition delegate for Watson was harnessed up with the brewery agent. All this seems to indicate that the News-Fairbanks-Watsci?' combination is playing a “double cross” game on somebody. But then ' the “double cross" game was prob- ■ ably patented by the News or its as- j signors. The grand jury investigations of the I graft and thieving charges concern- ■ ing the management of the county of- i Sees here have caused an immense I amount of uneasiness among Republican politicians who have been iden- i tiffed with the gang that has been ■ in control. There is no telling how ■ many grips are packed ready for a I quick exodus. o- — GOOD NEWS. * Many Decatur Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby. Good news travels fast” and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Decatur are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan’s Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good uews of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading: E. L. Augenbaugh. painter and paper hanger, living on Studebaker St, Decatur. Ind., says: “A great many I painters suffer from kidney complaint i and it was not strange that I had it . 1 had suffered with backache for over j five years. It began with only a slight aching but continued to grow worse and worse. Then annoyance of the kidney secretions set in and I knew that ! something had to be done. My back became so weak I could hardly get ; about in spite of the remedies I used. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills recommend ed by Decatur people and got a box at the Holthouse Drug Co.’s store. The : benefit I received was wonderful. In : a short time, my health came back to me and these were no symptoms o' the kidney complaint.” (Statement made in 1902.) CURED TO STAY CURED. Mr. Augenbaugh confirmed the above statement in 1906 by saying: I esteem Doan’s Kidney Pills as highly as I did years ago. Ther e has been ,no return of the complaint. You are ! welcome to publish my testimony if you wish.” For sale by all Dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co, Buffalo. New York, sole agents for th e United States.
