The Democratic majority in the legislature on jcint ballot is fourteen, a healthy sign that Indiana is slowly but surely coming into her own. Now since the president has solved the religious questiczi, he has taken up the cause of, labor, and will make them happy. What will we ever do without a strenuous president? It may be that democratic state chairman, Stckes Jackson, figures that it will be such a long time before the democrats get another chance at the state offices that they had better steal what they did not elect while they have an opportunity.—Columbia City Com-mercial-Mail. The Ccmmercial-Mail handles the subject with evident familiarity. Any time the Democrats can beat the Republicans of Indiana is stealing, it ■will be colder than today—and it's not hot enough to melt molasses by any means. According to the CommercialMail it is religiously proper for Republicans to stuff the ballot box and falsify returns but it is stealing on the part of the Democrats to prove it on theib. Mr. Bryan’s post-election statement is a frank and manly declaration that shows a soul superior even to disappointment of the greatest and most »««kz > t ULUUIHUU <*UJ ualuau UClllf, can cherish and pursue. There is no t”ace of bitterness and nene of regret save that he believes the triumph of the principles upon which the democratic party fought its last great battle would have been better for the republic. What he says of the influence the democratic campaign will have on the policies of government and the sentiment of the people is to the last word true. While it is not for the democratic party to carry forward sc me of these great principles of justice, the democratic party has forced them to the front and the triumphant party cannot ignore them. Os Mr. Bryan it may simply he said that though a thrice defeated candidate for the presidency he is today one of the most powerful forces for good in the country. Some of the meat violent of his political opponents will freely concede at least that much as true of him. As no other man has dene, he has stirred the moral sense of the people as it bears upon our political life and institutions. Os Mr. Bryan’s future none of his friends need have misgivings, for he himself ha s none.Whether his party shall ever call him again to hold aloft its colors is at present a matter of no moment. He will have a place in history honorable

and secure. No man can hold in de- j voted and affectionate allegiance a j personal following of six or seven millions of freemen during a dozen years of adverse political warfare and leave a perishable fame. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. A GANG OF THIEVES. Is Said to Be Organized in This Section. It is believed by local officials that an organized gang of horse thieves are operating in the vicinity of Fcrt Wayne. These men work from this section of the country and it is believed that they have a string of workers and accomplices that reaches into Ohio. A few weeks ago when 0. W. Baumgardner lost his horse and went to Fort Wayne he had a hard time locating the animal or getting any clue which would lead up to the finding of the horse. Yesterday morning John Buckingham, of Huntington county, traced a thief to this county, or, the Fort Wayne read north of this city. He came to this city, but was unable to find the animal. He then went to Fort Wayne, but could find no trace of the animal there. The ease with which so many cf the horses are spirited away has almost convinced the officials that the horse thieves have some help or they would not be able to ccver up their tracks so well—Bluffton Banner. NOTIFSINGLEVOTE Hearst’s Party Was Completely Shut Out in Adams County SOME LATE FIGURES Prohibition Party Got 143 Votes for President—--115 for Governor In the recent election only the two old parties secured any votes in old Adams county worth mentioning. A few days before the election, it will be remembered, Mr. Zion, the Hearst candidate and Mr. Wendell, in the big touring car, came here and held a meeting on the streets, proclaiming, that both old parties were rotten to ( the core and insisting that the only I way to save the republic was to vote the Independent ticket. They might as well have saved their money and, wind for the ticket failed to get a single vote in this entire county. For; president, the prohibition electors received 143 votes, the Peoples candidates 5, the Socialist 13, while the sreiaiist labor and independents were completely 'skunked. For governor, Mr. Haynes, the prohibitionist, was given the support of 114 voters of this county, Bartlett, the socialist got 7"> and Walters, the socialist labor, for congress, received four votes. For joint senator of Allen and Adams counties, the labor candidate, Cooper,' was given four votes. From this statement it can be readily seen that the parties outside the two leading ones, democratic and republican, have not a very strong following here, receiving but about 160 votes altogether. The county candidates on the prohibition ticket each received from 75 to 33 votes. o Foley's Honey and Tar clears the air passages, stops the irritation in the throat, soothes the inflamed membranes, and the most obstinate cough disappears.

The money realized by their efforts will be employed to relieve destitute circumstances in Decatur homes, hence they have not labored in vain, but have done a work which is most highly commendable. At their regular meeting last night the Modern Woodmen lodge selected ten delegates to represent the local camp in the afternoon session of the district meeting to be held at Fort Wayne December 21.

woman well qualified to speak on the subject. In the year 1900 while traveling in Europe, she had the privilege cf seeing the Passion Play.

Bluffton, Ind., Nov? 11. —To retire to bed in the evening and awaken the following momilg fatally devoid of sight and stone blind was the terrible experience of Charles Schweet, who has been working as a vendor of ice cream on the street during the past summer. The attending physician is not altogether certain as to the cause of the attack and held forh but very little hope that the sight will ever be restored. Although it is possible that the trouble may be removed, providing that the diagnosis is correct and that the cause lies in the bursting of a capillary bleed vessel in the brain. It is very probable, so the attendant physician states, that the amount of blood let loose jn the brain would be enough to cause a blood clot, although there is some remote danger of this. The amount, however, is sufficient to almost totally interrupt the action of those brain cells In which the optic nerve has its center. It is possible that the blood may be absorbed, and if so, sight will p noably be restored. 0 If you want to enjoy this evening, get tickets for the Henderson Stock company at the Bosse. It’s good. c Winter blasts, causing pneumonia, pleurisy and consumption will soon be here. Cure your cough now, and strengthen your lungs with Foley’s Honey and Tar. Do not risk starting the winter with weak lungs, when Foley’s Honey and Tar will cure the most obstinate coughs and colds, and prevent serious results. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o THE MIGHTY POWER OF MI-O-NA

Mi-o-na. that extraordinary and perfect stomach tonic, will relieve dyspepsia jn twenty-four hours. 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 (after excessive indulgence. Mi-o-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 dirjnent 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 onlycosts 50 cents at Holtfhouse Drug Co., and the dyspeptic, nervous or otherwise, who does not give them a trial, is losing an opportunity to regain health.
