Will Governor Hanly take the stump against Goodwine, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, as he threatened to do if Goodwine were i nominated? Will he compel the Re- 1 publican state central committee to remove Goodwine from the ticket? If ! not, what will he do? ( ] “Uncle Nate’’ has again broken the 1 ice and in an interview gives the pub- 1 lie another patriotic discourse about his superiority and greatness. He , says “I will endeavor to show not ; only the Republicans but the Demo- i crats and others in the district as well ' that they have made no mistake in selecting me.” Show us. Uncle Nate, show us. We are from Missouri, and blue booked pedigrees don’t go. The Republican state platform indorses the insurance bill passed by the last legislature over Governor Hanly’s veto. In his veto message the governor declared that the passage of such a bill was party “perfidy,” and now the perfidy is approved by the state convention. The same convention also approves Hanly’s administration. Now, how much sincerity is there in the whole business? “Uncle Nate” is certainly the limit. Listen to the song of the siren: “I do not believe I can ever make the Republicans of this great district fully understand how much I appreciate receiving the nomination, following so intense and interesting a battle as was waged at Anderson.” “Uncle Nate” is right. The absolue truth of his deal with Boss Cromer is the only means with which the public will ever understand his appreciation. Now that the Hon. Jim Bingham has been re-nominated for attorney general. why can’t he take a day off from his political labors and look after the trusts that are bleeding the people of the state? A year ago he issued a fierce pronunciamento against grafting constanbles and some months since he helped to convict a lonesome whitecapper—hut not a word about the trusts. Perhaps, like the Republican tariff revisers, he thinks it is “folly" to prosecute a trust “on the eve of a presidential election.” Quite a lively interest is being manifested in the coming right-of-way subsidy election for the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway. The voting of this small sum is but an evidence of good will ,and means the extension of the lines to Berne during this year. This in itself shuuid encourage every legal voter to earnest work in behalf of this road extension. Let’s get busy and in our old time form, make the election so near unanimous that it will hardly be w'orth while io count the opposing vote. Let’s again demonstrate our true spirit of progress.

TOO SMOOTH FOR STAGE MEN. The La Delles Mystify Those Who Watch Them Closely. So cleverly do the Four. Fastastic LeDelles do their tricks of sieight-of-hand that not even the men employed behind the scenes at the Majestic gain the faintest idea ot how most of them are executed. True some of the feats are easily followed by those stationed in the "wings,T but the combined knowledge thus acquired does not make one wondrously wise in the art of magic. The elder LaDelie is this week working at something of a disadvantage. for i rdinaritly he uses what is known as a circular drop or curtain, that when hung in place effectively conceals ail view of the stage from the side entrances. Owing to an accident in shipping, it was impossible to use this during the current week, so the LaDelles must either rely upon their cleverness or permit their tricks to become the property of the stage crew. How well they have succeeded in guarding their secrets, most any one of the stage hands can testify. It is as much of a dark secret, how Mr. LaDelie manages to transfer the small handerchief from the ink bottle to the center of the apple to those on the stage as to persons in the audience. No one behind the scenes has yet solved, either, how the dove managers to get into the table cover, from which the magician shakes it, or how those two big roosters get under the small stand spreads. An amusing incident happened Tuesday night. One of the regular attaches of the theater had watched the act at every performance with marked attention, and he felt certain he had discovered the secret of where the dove is produced from, when Mr. LaDelie gathers it from the apparently empty cloth. He approached the magician after the first show and conveyed his suspicion. His theory was that the dove was drawn from beneath LaDelle's vest. “Well, just to convince you it does not come from there, I will allow you to pin my vest securely to my waistband,” replied the magician. He was as good as his word and in spite of it all, the dove fluttered out of the cloth at the correct moment. The stage hand had watched LaDelle’s every move, but he admitted afterward that he was willing to concede that he was mistaken. “And also, just take it from me—l am done ■exposing tricks',” he added.—Kalamazoo Gazette. o WATCH YOUR TONGUE. If Furred and Coated, it is a Warning of Trouble to Come. When it is the morning after the night before, you ao not nave to look at your tongue to know that the stomach is upset; the head is aching with a dull rhythm, and that all the world looks dreary. The real time to watch the tongue is all of the time. If it is coated with a white fur, or possibly with dark trimmings, even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of indigestion that it needs help, yet the coating shows that you are getting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na. Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so reliable in its curative action upon the stomach that Holthouse Drug Co. the local agents, give an absolute guarantee with every 50-cent box they sell to refund the money unless the remedy gives absolute and complete satisfaction. NOTICE. There will be a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Great Northern Fair Ass’n on Friday the 10th day of April, at 10 o’clock at the secretary’s office. T. H. Baltzell. Pres. Albert A.

I took Foley’s Kidney Cure. One dollar bottle and part of the second cured me entirely.” Foley’s Kidney Cure works wonders where others are total failures.
