WE SECOND THE MOTION The democracy of the state will decide for Itself who shall be the successor of Mr. Hemenway, but Fort Wayne offers ctje who will represent the state strongly and properly in all things, and one who is heart and soul committed to our greatest enterprise, in the person of Edward G. Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman js too modest to assert his own claims and this article is written without his knowledge or consenL But from the standpoint of party service, patriotism and ability he is in every way fitted to grace any position-. In his short professional career he has given evidence of abilities fa r beyond the ordinary. His political service is by the fact that as county chairman he brought Allen county out of chaos back to its old political moorings, and his apostleship has made it firmer than ever in the faith: and then, advanced to a higher post of leadership, he redeemed the o'd Twelfth district from its waywardness of 1904 and 1902 and led it to the greatest democratic victory in its history. Tactful, diplomatic, broadly sympathetic, intensely • patriotic, eloquent and able, Edward G. Hoffman has the elements of statesmanship. He is young, but no younger than Albert J Beveridge was when he was elected senator. He has wrought faithfully for the party and asked nothing in return; aye, even rejected proffered honors. Now, when northern Indiana, and more particularly Fort Wayne, needs a man of high calibre in the halls of legislation, a better service could not be done by the Indiana legislature next January than to send Edward G. Hoffman to the senate. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Now Judge Smith would fill that speaker’s chair completely, and he would add dignity t othe place, some-

thing that has escaped the presiding chair of the Indiana general assembly since those good old days. The eighth district, under the leadership of Adair, is fast becoming a Democratic stronghold. Bryan carred the district by 103, Marshall 2,381, Adair 5,663. This record is not excelled by any other district in the state, save the seventh, Indianapolis. Nathan H. Baker when he was nominated for congress on the Hearst independence ticket announced that he was going to make the race of his life. Nate received ; just three votes in the county and i not a single vote in his own precinct. ilt looks like Nate reasonably ought j to have received at least one more ! vote. —Portland Sun. ■ Senator Slack has announced his candidacy for the United States senatorship. This sounds good for an Indiana Democrat. Others mentioned are John W. Kern, B. F. Shiveley, John E. Lamb, Samuel Ralston and Edward ,G. Hoffman. Wade in, gentlemen and help yourselves. It has been so long fsince official honor has smiled upon s Democrat that we blame none pf them for shieing early and often at ■ everything that comes along. When Judge Taft's special train , toured the Eighth district and Mr. Taft addressed ‘‘acres'’ of people at Anderson. Muncie, Winchester, Portland and Decatur, he urged the voters to support Senior N. B. Hawkins for congress, saying he would need Mr. Hawkins when he became president. We are glad that Judge Taft made this partisan appeal. We also believe and are glad that it lined up perhaps thousands of votes for Senator Hawkins. Had Judge Taft not done this Mr. Hawkins’ defeat would have been almost disgraceful. —Portland Sun. THE COMMISSIONERS ADJOURN Not Much Business at this Term of I the Board. Joseph J. Tonnelier and Joseph B. Knapke were granted licenses to retail liquors for one year from November sth. The W. A. Bowman, Gallmeyer, Henry Wefel, Preble-Kirkland, Tieman and E. H. Faust macadam roads were ordered sold at the first day of the next - legular session. Adolph Schugg was appointed superintendent on the Schugg macadam road in Wabash township, and S. W. I'tie appointed on the Geneva,* Ceylon & Wabash township No. 3, in place of P. A. Macklin, deceased.

HUNTING PARTIES Dr. Dick Neptune and Peter Frank Leave Sunday Night for Arkansas ON HUNTING TRIP Will Be Joined by E. L. Carroll —Dr. J. Q. Neptune Off for Michigan Dr. J. Q. Neptune left this morning on the 8:20 'car for Fort Wayne, where he joined a hunting party, consisting of twsnty-five men who left immediately for Witbeck, Michigan, to hunt for big game. Philip Koos and George Nettle, of Adams county wera among the party. These men expect to remain in the wilds of Michigan for three weess and they will without doubt get their share of the game, which wanders their way. Raymond Knoff who graduated recently from a Chicago dental college, and who is an expert at the business, will look after Mr. Neptune’s patrons during his absence. Dr. Dick Neptune, accompanied by Peter Frank of this city, will leave Sufiday night for eastern Arkansas, where they will enjoy a three weeks’ hunting expedition. E. L. Carroll,who left last night for St. Louis, will join the party enroute and the men expect a great time. They will camp in the woods and Mr. Neptune informs us that they will make a desperate attempt to deplete the forest in that vicinity of all its game.

FOR WEEK’S ENGAGEMENT. Maud Henderson Stock Co. is Billed Here. Next Monday evening the Maude Henderson company, one of our best known and most popular repertoire troops will open a week’s engagement at the Bosse opera house presenting “Over the Ridge" as their initial play. In order to conform to the time-hon-ored custom of repertoire companies Monday evening will be ladles free night, when one lady will be admitted free with each pain reserved seat ticket (30c.) purchased prior to six p m. Monday. It has been some time since we have had a really good show in our city, and Manager Bosse is to be congratulated in bringing back to us the best of the old-line repertoire companies for a full week. o The fraternal Order of Eagles held an interesting meeting at their lodge rooms last evening. Much business of importance was looked after.

AT THE MAJESTIC. FORT WAYNE "The Servant in the Houu" is a Great Attraction. “The Servant in the House’’ which comes to the Majestic theater in Fort Wayne for an engagement of three nights and a matinee—Nov. 16, 17. 18 — owes its success to the fact that it appeals to the casual theatergoer quite as strongly as it does to the most critical. Hailed by competent authorities as the finest example of dramatic art since the days of Shakespeare, it arouses the enthusiasm of auditors who disregard the subtle meaning of the lines and give their attention only to the surface story. Many who are thrilled by the Indian bishop’s eloquent description of his mighty church in Benares, the Holy City of the East, and observes with amazement his occult powers, are absolutely unaware that Manson is in reality a reincarnation of the Christ. No play of the season .tells a more appealing story — a story that arouses the mitth of an audience by its clean-cut comedy and elicits its tears by simple, real-life pathos. There is exquisite satire for the analytical mind of the student and simple humor that is grasped even by children. The plumber’s pride of profession which sends him to face a horrible death down in tha darkness that his comrades up above may be saved, sends a thrill through every working man. no matter what his calling, quite as intense as the emotion of clergymen who follow the English vicar’s rebellion against the hypocrisy of technique and construction is equaled by his ability to play the emotions of an audience. The fact that “The Servant in the House” is breaking records in every city vindicates the author's first claim, that his play would appeal to the casual amusement seeker quite as strongly as it would to the most earnest thinker. It is a modern comedy in the best sense of the word, aiid tells a fascinating story. o CURES CATARRH. The Smith, Yager & Falk Co. Will Furnish the Medicine Free in Every Case Where They Fail to Cure Catarrh Neglect or pessimism we believe is the greatest enemy the public have to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically every case of consumption might have been cured if hope had been maintained and proper treatment had been resorted to at the first symptom of the disease. Until the advanced stage Is reached, consumption is curable. Catarrh is responsible, we believe, for every case of consumption. I- is about Catarrh we want to talk to you today, incidentally consumption, since the two are so closely allied. j We have a medicine made from the ' prescription of one of the most successful catarrh specialists known. This medicine has a record of 98 per cent of cures, and we believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right, that we

will supply the medicine free in every 1 instance where it is used according to directions for a reasonable length of time and fails to cure and give satisfaction in every particular. We, want /-very one in Decatur to try this medicine at our risk. There are no conditions or formality attached to our offer. We put the user under no obligation to us whatever. The medicine we want you to try is Rexall Mucu-Tone. It is a catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. It is carried by the blood to every part of the system. It seeks out and destroys the germs or parasites which cause Catarrh. It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the muco-cells, soothes and heals the tis-. sues that were ravaged by the catarrh-; al parasite, and brings about a condition of health and strength .that prevents the germs of consumption from ever getting a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-Tone is a wonderful appetizer, digestive aid and flesh builder its good effects are felt from the very first dose. It is one of the larg- i est and most satisfactory selling med-1 icines that we have ever had anything to do with. We know so much of the gieat good that it has done that we personally back it up with our reputation and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy anybody. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 60c. and |I.OO. We urge you to try it The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co., Decatur, Indiana.
