J - H - HELLER, Manager. ~~ The counties in which the Bryan vote exceeds that of Marshall are 1 Adams (adjoining Allen), Brown, Crawford, Decatur, Dubois, Franklin, FJilton, Greene, Harrison Hendricks. Jay, Johnson, Lawrence. Martin, Perry. Putnam, Parke, Spencer, Scott, Shelby, Sullivan. Switzerland. Union. V ermillion and Washington. A majority of these are located in the southern part of the state. In all of these counties there always has been and is now a very pronounced Democratic temperance sentiment.—South Bend Times. If the remainder of the state had done as well by Bryan as the Eighth district did, the Nebraskan would have carried the state by a good majority. Bryans plurality in the district was 103, while Marshall's plural- ’ ity was 2,381. This district is normallv about 4. KOO rpniihlirnri baying been previous to the first election of Congressman Adair, considered one of the strongholds of the Republican par- • ty in this state. Bryan's majority in the state would have been a good one if the other districts had done as well. —Bluffton Banner. The close vote on state officials this year is not without precdent. At the October election in 1872 Thomas A. Hendricks was elected governor over Thomas M. Browne by about 1 000 plurality. The only other man elected on the Democratic state ticket of that year was “Bishop' l Milton B. Hopkins, of Howard county, for superintendent of public instruction. He was a Christian (Campbellite) minister, and was made the beneficiary. of many Republican votes of that denomination. The result of the election was not definitely settled until a week afterward. Owen M. Eddy, of South Bend, and John B. Stoll, then a resident of Ligonier, were de-

seated for secretary of state and au-i ditor of state, respectively, by Jess ■ than 200 votes; The remainder of the Democratic state ticket was defeated by majorities ranging from 400 to 1 600. Among the latter was Michael VINOL CURES CHRONIC COUGHS, COLDS IND BRONCHITIS After Other Remedies Fail “I have been troubled with a chronic cold and bronchitis for a long time and have tried many remedies without finding relief. Through the kind suggestion of a friend I tried Vinol, and after taking four bottles, am entirely cured.” A. H. Wilde, 733-Bth Avenue, Minneapolis, Minn. S. McDonald, ' 147 W. Congress St. Paul, Minn., writes: "I contracted a severe cold last winter and thought I would never get rid of it I tried Vinol as a last resort, and it has completely cured me.” Vinol combines two world-famed tonics, the healing, medicinal properties of cod liver oil and tonic iron, deliciously palatable and agreeable to the weakest stomach. For this reason, Vinol is unexcelled as a strengthbuilder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, after sickness and for Chronic Coughs, Colds and Bronchitis.

I One of the popular features of the Public Library Commission's work in Indiana is the loaning of the best fiction, history, travel and children's books tree or cnarge to the people. For nine years these books have been sent to every section of the state, but there are many people who are still unaware of the free reading privileges they might have for the asking. The only expense connected with the books is the prepaid round trip express rate. They ate sent to any i locality in the state for three months and may be retained for another three without extra expense. The libraries containing forty volumes are loaned to granges, reading circles, schools, Sunday schools, stores, clubs and into farm homes. The books consist of histries. biographies, agricultural books, volumes on finance, sociology, religion and others. With these are volumes of fiction, both standard and current, also a collection of carefully selected books of a like general nature for the young people which are read as largely by the adult members of the family. The commission sends out collections of fourteen to sixteen books for use in the study clubs and schools. There are nature study collections, domestic science, Shakespeare, Browning and Tennyson collections, libraries on the history, literature and art of the various couni tries, music, collections relating to the I study of the Bible and others. | Finding lists are furnished on application so that the selections may he made from the different libraries. The books will be loaned to any locality where five or more citizens will .fill out the application blank sent to (them by the Public Library Commis--1 sion office, Room 58 state house, Indianapolis. Stereoscopic views on the i United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan, China, Germany, France also ' folios of pictures on Europe. Asia. 'Africa. Central America, Canada, animals and birds famous gardens, etc. Letters are received from all parts of the state expressing gratitude for the books in the homes and schools. There are 7,100 books in the traveling library department loaned throughout ( the state. The library 1 commission] wishes to urge upon you the value i of these books which in many instances means having the use of forty books for ten per cent of the cost of one. If you are not interested for yourself endeavor to interest your neighbor and the young people of the locality. The traveling library depart- j ment receives its appropriation for this work from the state and is therefor supported by the taxpayers. Why should not each one receive the bene- , fits of the educational feature of state work he is helping to maintain?

— GENEVA NOTES. I Taylor Campbell, for a long time clerk in the MacVVhinney grocery, hasj resigned, and left this morning for Newton. Ills., where he has two sis- ■ ters living, and expects to go into i business there. Taylor will be missed |by the many customers who have had [business dealings with him. Always affable and obliging, and never in bad [humor, he met his many customers i always with a smile and grace that | frill not be forgotten.

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS The Modem Woodmen to Hold an Interesting Meeting A BIRTHDAY PARTY Notes of Various Other Social Events Gathered During the Day The children and other near relatives of Uncle Jim Wagner, of near Monroe gathered at his home today where his seventy-fourth birthdya anniversary was celebrated. Uncle Jimmy and aU the guests enjoyed the event to the limit and he looks good for many more such happy occasions. An elegant dinner was served. The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the M. E. church continues to do a great business at their bazar. Many people have been clothed by these estimable ladies and at nominal prices. Several of the dry goods merchants and clothiers have contributed articles to the ladies and thus aid in the charitable cause. The good work of tilts society will long be remembered. • Preparations are under way for the big minstrel show to be given by the Elks in the near future. This as all former shows by this great order, will "be far above the average. Mesdames John Niblick, Emma Daniels and A. R. Bell have gone to Peru to attend the session of the Woman's Home Missionary societies of the j North Indiana conference. Very interI esting sessions are anticipated. The meeting of the Helping Hand Society at the home of Mrs. Geo. Henneford. will be interesting. The members should all be present. Tomorrow 1 night’s meeting of the local camp of Modern Woodmen is to be of special interest. Among the i many things which will be looked after is a movement whereby a levy of ten cents upon each member is requested. The object of this levy is to raise a contribution tow’ard the construction and equipment of the Modern Woodmen’s sanitarium for the treatment of Woodmen afflicted with ■ tuberculosis. The object is most ■ worthy and the amount is small. Mrs. Bertha Heuer will entertain • the Ladies' Aid Society of the German Reformed church Thursday as-

ternoon. Theodore Wilken celebrated i the thirty sixth anniversary of jhis ordination yesterday and also his namesake. The occasion was appropriately observed. Those present were Rev. Charles Thiels, of Fort Wayne; Rev. Joseph Kroll. Fort Wayne; Rev. John Biedcrman, Nix Settlement, and Rev. Benzinger, of Hesse Castle. The many friends of Rev. Wilken hope that he will live to celebrate many , more such events. But few of the clubs of the city are scheduled to meet this week, although many brilliant events are promised for next week. It is impossible for a reporter to secure every social happening each day, as much as the Democrat would ■ [ desire to have them, and therefore we [kindly ask that all who know any :' social items to telephone same to us. I All such favors will be greatly api predated. I William Breiner delightfully enter- • tained at his country home yesterday • the four sisters, Mesdames William Solomon, William Breiner, Mrs. Earns est Suttles and on Walter, and Mrs. - Simeon Moore and two children, of Decatur. A grand time was had by all. An elegant dinner was served i and many other pleasant features ene joyed. Mrs. Suttles and so will leave •. Wednesday morning for their future j home in Pennsylvania. C. B. Griswold, who, about six months ago, accompanied by his family, went to Dalhart, Texas, for his future home, has returned for a visit with friends and relatives. He brought with him specimens of the crops he raised in that section and they are simply fine. The same can be seen in the window of the Democrat. Mr. Griswold states that he likes the country very well and has prospects of amassing a. neat fortune. Mr. Griswold will remain here for about a month, after which he will return to the sunny south.

It will cure, and is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co,, to the readers of Decatur to cure the most pitiful cases of dyspepsia, if taken according to directions. Mi-o-na tablets not only cure dyspepsia, but all stomach disturbances, such as vomiting of pregnancy, sea or car sickness fcfter excessive indulgence. Mi-c-na cures by strengthening and invigorating the flabby stomach walls, and after a course of Mi-o-na treatment, constipation, if there is any, will entirely disappear. Read this from the president of a New York corporation: “I have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritis for two years. The most itafnent physicians prescribed for me with no effect. I have been absolutely cured by your Mi-o-na tablets. The first one gave me a relief almost incredible.” —Herbert H. Taylor, 501 West 143 street, New York City. Mi-o-na is a most economical treatment —a large box of tablets only costs 50 cents at Hclthouse Drug Co., and the dyspeptic, nervous or otherwise, who does net Bive them a trial, is losing an opportunity to regain health, ■ - "■— o— ■■ - - If yonr dealer does not handle Admiral coffee, others do. 209tf
