THE SITUATION The election is six weeks from Tuesday and the political writers in summing up the situation say much to encourage the cause of Democracy. The staff writers for the Cincinnati Enquirer, Indianapolis News, Chicago-Record Herald, Louisville Courier-Journal, New York World and many other great newspapers note with surprise the gains being made by the peerless leader of Democracy. They also graphically describe the harmony prevailing among the Democrats in every section of the country. The Democrats of the east are vieing with those of the west in their devotion to party. On the other hand internal dissension and factional strife is raging in bitter warfare in the Republican organisations .In 'nearly every state. When the Republican organization was formed it was thought that perhaps an interesting fight would be seen in four or five states, but now that number has grown to fourteen or fifteen and in- j eludes New York. New Jersey. Rhode Island. W’est Virginia. Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Kansas. Nebraska, lowa, South Dakota, Minnesota. Wisconsin. Montana. Oregon, Washington, Colorado and California. They are now compelled to fight in every one of the above mentioned states, and it has so divided and disarranged their organization plans, that chaos nowreigns at Republican To add to the consternation the Democrats have all their organization plans well under way and in every state are making a gallant fight for a victory that is bound to crown their efforts and unanimity of action with success. Thus is the condition at this time, six weeks before election. Everywhere is the issues as promulgated by the Democracy gaining in sentiment, the tide is setting In and Democratic success never seemed so bright. THOSE STATE EXPENDITURES Going on down the line of state officers we find that in every one the

money expended last year at the state house was several times that of 1892 ■under a democratic administration. To support this statement we call attention to the following: TREASURER OF STATE’S OFFICE REPUBLICAN—I9O7. Treasurer’s salary $ 7.50 ft Deputy’s salary 2,500 Clerk’s salary 1,500 Stenographer’s salary 720 Office expense 300 Special 360 1 i Total 112,880 DEMOCRATIC—IB92.

' [ DEMOCRATIC—IB92. - Attorney General's Salary $ 2,500 • Deputy's salary 1,500 Stenographer 300 Office expense 500 Total $ 4,800 s I Perhaps the greatest contribution I to the campaign is that furnished by Richard Olnev, a member of the Clever . land cabinet. In a letter to the New 1 York World he tells why Bryan and not Taft should succeed to the presidency. The reasons subscribed contain both truth and logic and will - have great weight in the east Congressman Adair appeared in the city a short time today on his way to Ossian, where he will speak to- ! night. He is standing the strenu- , osity of the campaign in great shape. ! and looks like an easy winner. He . is making lots of hay in this cam- . paign and the people are with him in greater numbers than they were j in his first battle, two years ago. I His excellent record in the last con- > gress, his devotion to the duties of > a congressman has won him friends and supporters from the ranks of the , people in almost every avocation in . life. He is making a splendid cam- . paign speaking every night and meet- ■ ing hundreds of voters every day, and • is recognized as strictly one of the [ people, interested alike with them in . making this country the best that . the sun ever shone upon. His speaking dates in Adams county as so far arranged is Berne. September 23; Ge- , neva, September 24; Linn Grove, October 5. WILL WE GET RAIN Soon ?.. Is the Question Asked by Many Who Are Becoming Anxious CONDITIONS ARE BAD i Roads Almost Impassable— General Sickness Prevalent —Late Prophecy It seems that the weather man is very stingy with his dampness. Notwithstanding the fact that the prpphets have been promising a change in the atmospheric conditions the warm, dry weather continues, much to the discontent of the fer-' merit, es well as city tbik. Mere ! than five weeks without a rain has ■ caused dust to accumulate to the extent °f five and six inches in depth at many places, and it is scarcely possible to travel over the roads, the dust is so suffocating. Besides ' this, the farmers badly need a rain for their corn. For a time last night appearances indicated a shower, but only for a short time, as the clouds ’ hurriedly dispersed. Let us hope j that the latest prediction (that we; will have rain before Tuesday night) w-ill be fulfilled. Reports from various sections of the country are to the effect that general sickness Is prevalent due to the hot and dry weather. Typhoid fever is getting in its deadly work during the drought and germs of other diseases are easily transmitted by the flying dust. The conditions in this section are indeed in a deporable state, and in the event that w-e are not favored bv falling weather in the near future many will lose their life as a consequence thereof.

A PAYING INVESTMENT. Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave. Houlton, Me., says: “Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery; before tha t was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I aim now convinced that Dr. King’s New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.” Sold under guarantee at all druggists. 50c and $1.09. Trial bottle free. .

RECORDS BROKEN Public School Attendance Excels Any Other Year by Fifty TWO FACTS CERTAIN Schools Are Better and Decatur is Growing—Both Sound Good The enrollment at the Decatur public schools today reached 776, exceeding all previous records by nearly fifty and of course Prof. Beachler and the trustees are jubilant. The fact is evidence of two facts. One is that the Decatur schools are unexcelled and are being taken advantage of by many in this locality, town and country and the other is that Decatur is larger than heretofore by several hundred tinhabitattts. TBie school yqar starts off with promise of being the geatest in every way and now well under way, teachers and students are making every effort to assist in accomplishing this. The attendance reported today was as follows: North Ward, 141; South Ward. 158; West Ward. 148; Eighth grade, 77; other grades at the Central building. 141; high school. Ill; total 776. The largest attendance heretofore was 730. Besides these splendid figures Prof. Beachelr assures us that he knows of several others who will soon enter high school and a few in the other grades where they had been prevented from entering - by sickness or other valid excuses. o GLENDALE FARM HERD DUROCB Now is the time to buy your trted sows and get ready for next year’s spring pigs.

SHERIFF CALLED To Quiet a Family Row in Monroe Township Saturday Night BOY WAS UNRULY Floyd Martz Threatened to Shoot His Father —No Arrest Made Sheriff Eli Meyer was called out to Monroe township Saturday night, on a trip which failed to materialize, owing to the fact that the parents of Floyd Martz decided to give him another chance to behave himself. Floyd is eighteen years old and the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martz. He has been working near Geneva, but came home recently and undertook to run things there to suit himself, to which the father seems to have objected slightly. Saturday evening Floyd wanted to take his father's horse and buggy out. but the father objected and the boy became unruly. He said some very harsh things to his parents, among the statements being one that he would just as leave shoot his father as he would a rabbit. When Mrs. Martz told her husband that the boy had a revolver, the latter became somewhat worried and sent for the sheriff, who responded. The officer found the boy in his room and searched his clothing, finding a revolver, which, however, was not loaded. After consulting about the matter, it was decided to give the boy one more opportunity to make good, and the officer drove back to town unaccompanied. The next time it is very probable that no leniency will be shown. SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE. All Over America, the News of the Marvelous Dandruff Cures of Parisian Sage Has Spread * I | A few years ago there was introduced into America a cure for dandruff, falling hair and all scalp disease. This hair renewer did not attract much attention for some months, until a progressive business man, hearing of several almost magical cures, decided to tell the American people of its mighty power to destroy the deadly dandruff germ. And today, withou.' any sensational or untruthful advertising, Parisian Sage is used extensively in almost every town in America. And what has produced this great demand? Simply this: Parisian Sage does just what we are telling the readers of Decatur it will do. We claim, and we back our claim with Holthouse Drug Co.’s monev back guarantee, that Parisian Sage is the most invigorating and rejuvenating hair tonic. It cures dandruff. stops falling hair and itching scalp; it makes the hair grow strong and vigirous, yet soft and lustrous. It is the only (hair dressing Fhat reaches the root bulb of the hair and destroys the dandruff germ. And to the women who are reading this simple statement of fact, we want to say that Parisian Sage works wonders with women's hair. It will turn dull, harsh and faded hair into beautiful, lustrous hair in a few days, and is the most pleasant and satisfying hair dressing any woman ever used.

‘My hair was falling out rapidly when I heard of your guaranteed hair restorer. The first application removed the itching, my hair stopped falling out, and it is soft, glossy and pliable.”—Carrie Williams, 844 Clinton Ave S, Rochester, N. Y. Holthouse Drug Co. sell Parisian Sage for 50 cents a large bottle, or it can be obtained direct from the makers, Giroux Mfg Co., Buffalo, N.
