PLATFORM COMMENTS Probably no one expected that Mr. Bryan would find much In the Chicago platform to commend. He is a good fighter and a thorough party man, so that hig hostile view of that document need occasion no surprise. And yet it must be admitted that he presents his objections to it w’ith cogency and effect. We should say that Republican politicians will be very loath to tackle the job of answering the points that Mr. Bryan makes. In the first place he says the Chicago platform contains no reference to enforced publicity for campaign contributions, notwithstanding Mr. Taft had declared in favor of this reform. The proposal came befo-e the convention, moreover, just as Mr. Bryan says, and a vote was forced upon it by Wisconsin and Indiana delegates. We have no means of knowing how many voters are greatly interested in this question or regard the publication of campaign fund accounts as a thing of vital or pressing concern. But there is no answering what Mr. Bryan says about it. For convenience we may group the other points made by Mr. Bryan against the Chicago platform under one head. They ar e the determination of the physical value of railroads, the extreme anti-injunction plank offered by Mr. Gompers and Mr. Fuller, the income tax. the inheritance tax, the alleged $5,000,000 conspiracy against the Roosevelt policies and the election of senators by popular vote. This makes a total of seven declarations which have commanded some support in Republican circles, but which somebody or other succeeded in keeping out of the Chicago

MEMBER 54TH CONGRESS U. S, Recommends Pe-ru-na. | Peruna Is A Healthful OBr. Tonic JjulSßßk W. And v ■* xil '* . Wife- jUifesSk Successful Catarrh R emedy. • • ... . HON. W. E. ANDREWS. Nebraska has furnished to our National Congress some of the brightest minds that have ever adorned that great national legislature. Men of push and fire, men of great oratorical and intellectual resources, men who have done much to shape the destinies of the great western section of our country. Among these modern statesmen of that versatile, American type, is Hon, W. E. Andrews, of Hastings, Nebraska. Hon. Andrews was formerly Vice President of Hastings College, and established an excellent record as a promulgator of public education before he became a member of Congress. Speaking of Peruna, he says: “/ cheerfully recommend the preparation, Peruna, as a healthful tonic and a successful remedy for catarrh in its various forms.”—lion. W. E. Andrews.

— Hon. Thomas Cale, who was elected to Congress from Alaska, is well known on the Pacific slope, where he has resided. His Washington address is 1312 Ninth street, N. W., Washington, D.C. Congressman Cale writes of Peruna: “I can cheerfully recommend Peruna as a very efficient remedy for coughs and colds.” Some people prefer to take tablets rather than to take medicine in afinid form. Such people can obtain Peruna tablets; which represent the medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is eqni valent to one average dose of Peruna.

platform. We do not see how any one can successfully controvert or cavil at Mr. Bryan’s assertions. It is interesting also and perhaps significant to note that every one of thes e seven measures is supported by Mr. Bryan and will doubtless form a part of the Denver platform. As for ‘‘government by injunction” he would destroy It entirely, and as for the trusts, or what he calls “predatory wealth," he would show no quarter whatever, but would pursue the railroads with physical valuation jand. federal incorporation, and swollen with income and inheritance taxes, while the trusts he would eradicit utterly if possible.—lndianapolis Star Rep.

By the appointment of Gen. Luke E. Wright, Os Tennessee, as secretary of war, to succeed Taft, the Roos-j---velt cabinet now contains three Democrats or ex-Democrats —Bonaparte, Straus and Wright. Hidebound pa'tisanship never had much of a hold on the present occupant of the White House. —South Bend Times Four notable addresses upon temperance was made in this city Sunday by that noted orator, Hon. M. J. Fanning. He upheld his well earned reputation as a speake rand orator, and as a matter of course, stated many truths, about which ther e is little or no argument. His speeches embraced none of that old-time harsh critcism but in its place were well modulated but convincing arguments, the sort of arguments that will win friends and votes to the cause of Prohibition.

As far as the press dispatches tell us Uncle Nate Hawkins has not yet sent his congratulations to either Candidates Taft or Sherman. What a serious oversight this is on the part of Nate. Doesn’t he realize that both gentlemen are awaiting words of cheer from the candidate from the Eighth of Indiana district? And wasn't it Nate who telegraphed to Senator Hemenway about the public building bill at Elwood, and didn't that telegram bring forth fruit almost before it had been received'’ The senator’s words fairly burn when sent over a telegraph line, and he should hasten to send his very warmest regards to Messrs. Taft and Sherman. —Bluffton Banner.

Hon. C. Slemp, Congressman from Virginia, whose home address is Big Stone Gap, Va., writes: “I can cheerfully say that I have used your valuable remedy, Peruna, with beneficial results, and can unhesitatingly recommend your remedy to my friends as an invigorating tonic and an effective and permanent cure for catarrh.” Mr. Boss Craig,Fork Vale,Tenn.,had catarrh of the head for two years and hid abandoned all hope of being cured, but to his surprise Peruna cured him sound and well.

A BUSINESS DEAL John Didot Has Sold His Ice Cream Parlor to Peter Dodane WAS CLOSED TODAY Deal Has Been Hanging Fire for Some Time—Has Taken Possession

John Didot, late of Geneva, who a few weeks ago purchased the candy kitchen and ice cream parlor of John Joseph, disposed of the business today to Peter Dodane, who moved to this city from Hessa Castle some time ago. Mr. Didot purchased the store with the intention of establishing a jewelry store in connection, but as the room was not large enough for bcth, he decided to sell out and look for larger quarters. Mr Didot expects to remain in the city and will in all probability launch into business here in the near future. Mr. Dodane, th e new proprietor, has been trying to buy this place for several days and the deal was consummated this morning. He is a hustler and expects to conduct a good clean business. His friends wish for him success in his business venture.

PAYING TRIBUTE (Continued from page 1.) Thus have these, your brothers, gone, who answer not at roll call today. They dreamed their dreams “in pleasure’s vales and bore their sorrow in the rugged way” along which all earth’s pilgrims walk. They passed along the storm-swept way, “shipping at the port of death” and on the shadowy, having gone over th e mysterious stream of Death, drop anchor in the port beyond. We vainly call their names, and while they answer not, we answer for them, knowing that they have but passed beyond the mists, which veil our eyes, into that new- and larger life, beyond. Here, standing in the fadeless light of memory, playing over the paths of bygone years, living in th e benign atmosphere of a charitable present, while faith lights the darksome vales of the tomorrow land.” We feel a consciousness of immortality begun, and can therefore faintly hear the siren voices from the glory land, which have already called away from our mystic circle the brothers gone before. “Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there b e no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark: For, though from out this bourne of Faith and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see by Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.” 0 Every Woman Will Be Interested. if you have pains in the back.

WILL START TABLET FACTORY Albert Hirschy, of Berne, Locates at Huntington. Albert C. Hirschy, of Berne, Ind, who has for some time been awaiting his tablet manufacturing machinery, was greatly pleased Friday morning when he was notified that it had arrived. and he at once ordered it delivered to the new rooms in the U. B. Publishing establishment. Mr. Hirschy has for some time been thinking of putting his machinery in the building and some time ago rented several rooms of H. C. Foote for the purpose of making tablets, and now that his machinery is here, hs will push the erection of it as fast as possible and get it running. The machinery was first owned by the Berne Blank Book company and was run by them for about two years They then sold out to five men in partnership who run it two more years under the name of the S. & H. tablet company, when their liking to the work grew cold and they closed up business as they were hampered for room. All if this time. Mr. Hirschy was in the employmnt of the firms and learned the ins and outs of the business and when the last firm closed up he and his father purchased the machinery and since that time it has lain idle at Berne. Mr. Hirschy is now putting all his time at the setting up of the machinery and will begin turning out tablets as soon as the car load of paper that he has orde-ed arrives The capacity of the machines runs from 1,500 of the pencil tablets and 2,000 to 2,500 of the ink tablets per day when in operation and is one of the finest pieces of machinery that can be found. He already has a large number of orders ahead and it will be necessary for him to get to going as soon as possible.—Huntington News-Dem-ocrat

THE STRENUOUS LIFE. Pulls so Hard on the Stomach it Must Have Help. The stress and strain of the strenuous lif e in both city and country makes stomach troubles. Five people suffer today where on e did ten years ago with sick headache, dizziness. flatulence, distress after eating, specks before the eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleeplessness and the many other syptoms of indigestion. All who ar e suffering with stomach troubles, and that means at least two out of three in Decatur and other towns, should use Mi-o-na stomach tablets. Nothing else is as safe, yet effective; nothing else can be se thoroughly relied upon to relieve all troubles from indigestion as Mi-o-na So reliable is Mi-o-na that Holthouse Drug Co., with every 50-cent box they sell, give a guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy cures. •»

Live Agents Wanted increased demand for Wayne “30” we have decided to build JOO additional | rtr s of this popular type These are now coming Xough-we can positively make deliveries of the first fifty in ten days. Now we can sell every one of these cars in four or five Urge cities—as we have been doing. But we have other ideas, other aims. We are planning to build 6,000 cars next year-have the facilities to do it-and the work is a ready under wav. That means we’ll need a large selling force—an agent in every town over 5,000. We want these 300 Wayne “30” cars to be the missionaries which will create a demand for the 6,000 we will build next year. See our point? We want to distribute this season’s output —these 300 ■over as much territory as possible instead of concentrating them in a few metropolitan centers. Satisfied users are the best advertisements—every Wayne will do its part in carrying the news of VVayne quality wherever it goes. Even to those who knew the earlier Wayne models this 1908 product will be a revelation and a delight. We want a personal representative a man of good standing—to represent us in your town. Large capital is not necessary—neither is a garage nor repair shop. Very little capital, but a large amount of energy and selling ability, are the requisites —to the man who possesses these, here is an opportunity of a lifetime to get in business for himself —one that has a wonderful future. Write today; send references; tell us about yourself; if satisfactory, we will get together quickly. We won’t hold you up on deliveries and we’ll stand back of the product—remember, we count on these 300 to sell 6,000; there’s the buyer’s guarantee — and yours. Now is the selling season —today. Business has been great since the sun came out —if you don’t share in the hay-making, it*s your own fault. Price $2,500 —“all but the license” M 3O M -30 H.
