ANOTHER PIPE LINE COMING.

Ohio OH Company is Again Taking Right of Way Deeds. Forty right of way deeds for the laying of the pipe lines of the Ohio Oil company, a branch of the Standard Oil company, through forty farms of Grant county farmers In the southeast and eastern portions of th € county were filed of record in the office of the Grant county recorder Wednesday, says the Marion News-Tribune. It Is the preliminary step in the traversing of the county with the pipe line system which is to be a part of the big network which will eventually lead from the Robinson (III.)-oil fields to the eastern refineries. Gangs of workmen who have been employed for the last month laying the pipe line through Madison county, and are now on the Grant county line, are practically through with their task to the south of this county, and will be ready in a few days to cross into the Grant county field. Scores of these workmen have been camped at the outer edg e of Summitville for the last several weeks. The pipe line now being laid is known as the Martinsville-Montpelier pip e line system. It is a part of the great network being laid throughout the state and neighboring states by the Standard Oil company for the transportation of the crude oil to the refineries. The Grant county field has already been tapped by another part of the system, and it is believed the lines ncftv being laid will also connect with the local fields. — ITS ONLY A NEWSPAPER STORY Says Miss Good of Her Engagement to Congressman Rauch. If Congressman George Rauch and Miss Good are engaged to marry Dr. Good knows nothing about it. Dr. Good was asked by a newspaper reporter if there was any truth in the rumor and his reply was, "If there is, the old doctor is not next.” Supposing the case should turn out to be a truth in reality, wouldn’t it be an interesting situation? And wouldn’t it be better to let pa stay at home and send the daughter to Washington? Store, ladies first every time, said Charley. Miss Good' says there is absolutely no truth in the story and declares it is a campaign fabrication. However, she admits that Mr. Rauch and her self are good friends. Miss Good and Congressman Rauch are fourth cousins and the story is of unusual interest considering that Mr. Rauch and the girl’s father are aspiring to the same honor, taking it for granted that the Eleventh district democrats will nominate Rauch as their congression-il candidate.

It began with only a slight aching but continued to grow worse and worse. Then annoyance of the I 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 of
