THE NEXT DAY In the entertainment of the congressional convention Union City covered herself with honor. Old glory shone resplendent everywhere and good fellowship and hospitable greetings were hurled at the visitors from every which way. For one day at least every one was a Democrat, the lines of partisanship being entirely obliterated. The visitors—and there wer e plenty—will ever remember the good people of Union City, and will want to play a return date at some convenient time. Union City is a beautiful place, and is peopled with a pushing lot of thoroughbreds whom it is a pleasure to meet, and whose hospitality it is good to enjoy. Editor Georg e W. Patchell, postmaster, and the whole works in republican circles, handed out the bouquets —not lemons —with both hands. George can be seen and heard fo r four blocks and is a good sort. The Times is the only good newspaper on the map and it is doing what about eleven hundred other newspapers are not doing—making money. The convention was a whooping dinger. According to statements made by George Patchell thei r opera house holds four thousand in comfort, and you could not squeeze another sardine in that house with a cant hook. George also said that Uncle Nate's Cromer convention wasn't even a good side show —girls in red thrown in—in comparison. It was great.

Oratory? Well, you should have seen, heard and soaked jn even a part of the surplus that was flying around the edges and through the middle all day. Judge James D. Ermston started the ball as temporary chairman, making one of those heart to heart, sincere but happy speeches, burning the truth at every period. Then came Judge Charles E. Sturgis, young and sober in thought, but happy in the place he so admirably filled. Hon. R. H. Hartford felt the responsibility imposed in handing to th e Eighth district their next congressman, but he did it well. Senator Tyndall was applauded for several blocks, and Frank C. Dailey, of Bluffton, simply won a home forever in the Eighth congressional district. He made th a hit of the day. Then came the star of the occasion, Congressman Adair, who responded so dignified and so honest, and who told the story of his career in congress without an earmark of boasting. He said it well, the audience believed him and now they are sticking closer than a brother. Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, always brilliant and always interesting, was even more so on this, his first introduction to the best people on earth and located in the greatest district ever. State Chairman Jackson closed the fireworks with an impressive speech. It was simply great, to which fact the Democrat will upon application furnish affidavits signed and sealed by one hundred Adams county Democrats and ten thousand other truthful and incorruptible citizens —white —of this glorious Adair district. •

WORTH THREE TIMES THE FACE Have you any ten or twenty dollar gold pieces of the original issue without the motto "In God We Trust?” If you have, save them, they are already worth almost three times their face value, it is said. Since congress has decided to restore the motto on these coins, coin collectors, realizing that the few which were issued without the motto will soon be o r are already a valuable rarity, are clamoring for them. Collectors have practically been beseiging the banks lately to get these coins, and it is stated that but few are tn circulation in this city. The original issue of the mottoless S2O gold piece was of suca unusual character, the eagles being so fat that the coins could not be stacked, that an almost immediate effort was made to get them back, following the correction of the dies. The coins put out afterward stacked all right, but now that the motto is to be restored it is believed that all such gold pieces will eventually be withdrawn from circulation. Ten and twenty dollar gold pieces without the motto inscription are almost as scarce as hen's teeth. In Pittsburg it is said that S2O mottoless gold coins are bringing as high as $75. The coin collectors are tumbling over one another in their search for them, and when they get them hold on like grim death. A story is told of a young Pittsburg bank employe who got hold ' of quite a bunch of the S2O pieces and took them to New York, selling | them on the curb there for S4O to SSO recently. He is said to have cleaned up several hundred dollars in this way.

DISTRICT GROUP Bankers of Eighth District Meet at Muncie Today DECATUR DELEGATES Messrs. Niblick and Dugan Attend—Good Program Arranged

Charles S. Niblick, president of the Old Adams County bank, and C. A. Dugan, cashier of the First National bank are at Muncie today, attending the Eighth district group meeting, an organization adjacent .to the State Bankers’ association. The first session opened this afternoon at the Commercial club rooms, when an appropriate program was given. James P. Goodrich, president of the Peoples’ Loan and Trust company, of Winchester,delivered th e first address on the subject “The Depository Law and Its Workings,” followed i>y a general discussion. J. W. Sale, of Bluffton, chairman of the executive committee of the Indiana Bankers’ then gave an address on “Explanation and Purpose of the System” and he was followed by Andrew Smith, secretary of the Indiana Bankers’ association, his subject being "The State Association.” At four o’clock this afternoon the hankers will be shown over Muncie in automobiles by the local bankers and at six o'clock a banquet will be served, to which all visitors, especially the Decatur delegates, will probably do ample justice, HOW TO CURE SKIN DISEASES. Eczema, pimples, dandruff and itching skin diseases are of local origin and are caused by germs. In order to cure these diseases the germs and their poisons must be driven to the surface of the skin and destroyed. Salves and greasy lotions may give temporary relief, but they do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. A St. Louis chemist has discovered a clean vegetable liquid remedy that will draw the germs and their poisons to the surface of the skin and destroy them, leaving a niae, clear, healthy skin. This remedy is known as Zemo, and by its many remarkable cures has attracted the attention of the leading scientists and skin specialists of this country and Europe. Zemo has been given the most cordial reception by the public of any similar remedy ever produced, and it is recognized as an honest medicine that makes honest cures. Zemo is for sale everywhere. You can obtain a trial package free by writing to the E. W. Rose Medicine Co., St. Louis, Missouri. Smith, Yager & Falk have secured the agency for Zemo in Decatur and will gladly show you proof of some of the wonderful cures made by this remarkable remedy. o W. R. Ward, of Dyersburg, Tenn., writes: “This is to certify that I have used Orlno Laxative Fruit Syrup for chronic constipation, and it has proven, without a doubt, to be a thorough, practical remedy for this trouble, and it it with pleasure I offer my conscientious reference.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

TO FIGHT IT OUT The Allied Forces Will Carry Their Cause to the Convention I PROTEST FROM TEXAS Moses C. Harris Given the Bumpers by the Administration

Chicago, June 11. —Plans for a vigorous fight on the floor of the convention against the machine methods that have been used in making delegates who will support the administration candidate are being perfected. Th e information brought in by representatives of the party from every section of the country that there is general criticism of the arbitrary proceedings of the national committee has encouraged the field forces if they needed encouragement, to press the issue f or which they stand with all the influence they can command. It is well understood that the national committee will go right ahead with its program. It has been taken to task for permitting the “Black and Tan” delegates from Louisiana to have a half vote each in the convention. The reprimand came direct from the white house last evening. Along with it was a command with th e bark on it that no more anti-Taft delegates sha’l be seated. So there is nothing fo r the field to do but plan for the business before the committee on credentials and before the convention.

Chicago, June 11—The field forces have been joined by Moses C. Harris, editor of the Texas Republic, and former deputy revenue colector at San Antonio. Mr. Harris arrived last night and at once joined in the protest against the seating without regard to justice of the Taf tdelegates by the Republican national committee. Mr. Harris is a loyal Fairbanks man, and is deeply interested in the Texas contests. He says he was dismissed from the federal service because he had supported Fairbanks and criticised Secretary Taft.
