A SPECIALIST SAYS: “Piles Can’t Be Thoroughly Cured by Outward Treatment.” Dr. J. S. Leonhardt, of Lincoln, Neb., the celebrated specilist, who has stud ied every phase of piles, says: “Piles can’t be thoroughly cured by ointments, nor any other outside treatment. The cause is internal, and needs internal treatment.” Dr. Leonhardt perfected Hem-Roid, the first internal pile cure. It frees circulation in the lower bowel, and has cured 98 per cent, of cases.

WEATHER Fair tonight and Wednesday; rising temperature. John H. Heller went to Fort Wayne this morning on business. Attorney Shafer Peterson returned yesterday afternoon from a business trip to Fort Wayne. The funeral of the late Mr. Ray, of near Monroe, was held from the home this afternoon. The Kruckenberg family is getting along fairly well, although several members are still seriously ill. The Christmas entertainments to be given by the various Sunday schools of the city will be interesting. A goodly number of people from the south part of the county were in the city today looking after court business. There are scarcely ■ any empty houses in Decatur at present, which sounds good for this time cf the year. The merchants who advertise are the successful ones. The people want to know what you have and what the prices are. Thanksgiving, Christmas and then New Years. Three holidays in close succession. Let's observe them all as loyal American citizens. There will be many brilliant social events occur in Decatur Thanksgiving day and evening and Decatur will celebrate the holiday appropriately. Petty thievery has been suspended temporarily in Decatur, but the officials can well take precautions as there is always calm before a storm. Earl Bowman and Miss Jessie Berry, and James Zimmerman, of Decatur, and Miss Viola Yager, of Berne, spent Sunday with Miss Muri Pierce, of Bluffton. Jacob Fackler and J. B. Merriman went to Indianapolis this morning to represent the local lodge of Odd Fellows at the I- O. O. F. emcajnpment. Several others will go in the morning. —Bluffton Banner.

Dr. C. J. Blackman will leave this evening for Kirksville, Missouri, taking with him a young lady frem Montpelier, whom he has been treating. He will remain there to assist in the tieatment of the case for some time. —Bluffton News. The best of C. W. Mercer’s numerous attractions this season is the breezy comedy drama, “The Cry Baby” with the well known character actor, Carlton Guy, as the star. Mr. Guy is remembered fcp his connection with the famous Guy Stock company, in which he wag featured for many seasons. A strong acting company is in his support in his new play.

This one is to be erected by Michael Marhenke, and will be a comfortable and modern cottage. This town has enjoyed a prosperous year, and will very probably continue to grow. One citizen says that as soon as their boundary reaches the north river bridge they expect to annex Decatur, and thus reduce our taxes. Deputy Sheriff Ed Green was at Ker ’Trtlle yesterday looking for a man jd Deams, who formerly worked for the Decatur Produce company. While here Deams was fixed out with some household goods by his employers, but which did not belong to him. When he got reay to leave he sold the goods and kept the money. An affidavit was filed and Ed went north. Deam heard of his arrival and hid, but wag discovered and his employers at Kendallville finally paid the bill and Deam was released.

Chris Keefer, of Preble, was a visitor in Decatur last evening. Mrs. Elj Meyer went to Fort Wayne this morning to spend the day with friends. A. Van Camp went to Fort Wayne this morning on a special business trip. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Peters went to Fort Wayne this morning to attend the funeral of a friend. Frank Miller has returned to Rockford to resume duties after spending Sunday here with friends. Several Decatur people saw “The Servant in the House” at the Fort Wayne theater last evening. Fred Scheiman has gone to Fort Wayne to tranact business in the interest of Scheiman and Butler. Passenger traffic on the various railroads is slack at present, but this deficiency will be made up at holiday time. W. M.

Buechner returned to their home at Fort Wayne today after being the guests of friends and relatives for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Frisinger attended the show at the Majestic theater, Fort Waytie, last night and returned on the last car. The rain water famine is still on and the people must use hard water for their washing, etc. Pretty hard, but we must stand for it. Squire James Stone left today for Indianapolis, to attend the state meeting of the I. O. O. F. lodge. He is a representative of the kcal order. The various merchants of the city have large stocks of goods on hand in order to meet the holiday demand. Be sure to Inspect their goods in ample time to get the best. Htenry Thomas and Thomas Railing have returned from Fort Wayne, where they were the guests of friends. They saw the show at the Majestic before returning. The violators of the law have an appropriate time to feel somewhat j shaky, now the grand jury is in ses- ! sion. It is thought that an unusually large number of indictments will ho returned. Members of the M. E. church choir of Bluffton, have been suffering at the hands of petty thieves who would enter the assembly room and .ansack overcoats and other wraps to find money. A vigorous effort will be instituted to ascertain who the bold thieves are. 1 The cold weather of the past few days has furnished sport for the boys. The various pends in this vicinity are frozen over and skating is the principal pastime at present. The St. Matys river has not been frozen across this early in the winter for several ' years. The ice men are smiling as their chances look goed. • The Decatur public schools are being largely attended this year, and ,the superintendent and school board ’ are appreciative of same. Interest is I at high tension in every room and the pupils are accorded the best of instruction. It seems that a little visiting by the parents as was done last year would help to put the proper ginger in the schools. Nothing should be neglected which tends to advance the interests of young manhood and young womanhood. The beautiful winter weather we are enjoying at present is very acceptable to all. We have long hoped for rain, however, without getting any amount mentionable. Rain would be of little value to the farmers now, anyway, unless to fill their cisterns. The wheat could be benefltted little if any and in fact but a half crop has been planted. The weathe r of this winter and next spring will determine whether or not the wheat that la planted will turn out well. Harvey A. Harper was compelled to pay a fine amounting to $34.50 because he pursued a rabbit that ran from Wabash county into Grant county. Harper was about thirty feet over the line when he was nabbed by Deputy Game Warden Elmer E. Hiatt, who was disguised as a hunter. Harper was hunting in his home township of Wabash county and the law permits s man to hunt rabbits In his own township without having a state licerse. Harper was hunting in his home township Thursday afternoon when he scared up a bunny that broke all speed | records in making its getaway. Har-, per followed the rabbit, and the chase carried him out of his township. Unwittingly he had left the boundaries of bls own township. He pleaded guilty at Marlon to hunting without a license.—Bluffton News. ■ \

L. L. Sheline went to Fort Wayne this morning to make a short visit with friends. The Decatur produce factory and the Berling packing house are busy places at present. The demand for their output is large and they are operating at full blast to fill their orders. A large class of candidates is being secured for adoption in the Modern Wodmen camp of Decatur. The candidates will be given the work at Fort Wayne, December 21, their fares to be paid by the order. The first of this season’s sales to be held by the Decatur Horse company will occur Friday, and a large con- j signment of good horses will be disposed of. The farmers who want bargains should not fail to attend. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Baumgartner, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

Ray, two and one-half miles northwest of town, left Monday for Monroe, summoned there on account of the death of their brother, Lemuel Ray, who died suddenly Monday morning at three o’clock after a short illness of heart disease. The deceased was thirty years of age and is survived by a wife and five children. —Portland Sun. Frank Cotton, who was picked up at Decatur Saturday forenoon by Sheriff Lipkey and was returned here to lay out a balance of about SIOO on a fine, contracted an r ttack of sympathetic heart trouble Sunday, produced, according to all indications, by the effects of jagitis. Upon Frankie’s request a physician was called and prescribed some recuperatives. He pronounced the patient's condition nothing alarming.—Bluffton Banner. The wedding of two old people in Decatur Saturday is of interest here because of the fact that the groom is the father of Marion, Sylvester and Charles Fouts, the carpenters The couple was Tiriothy Fouts, aged 76, and Mrs. Jane Wibel, aged 72. They came from their home In Geneva accompanied by Rev. G. M. Myers, of that city, and securing license were married in the east room of the clerk known as “Lovers’ Retreat” in the court house of Adams county. The only witness to the ceremony was Clerk Roop. The bride is a nurse by profession and has been married twice, while Mr. Fouts is venturing his third time into matrimony. They will reside on his farm near Geneva, to which place they repaired at the conclusion of the ceremony.—Bluffton News.

Mrs. Dr. Holloway will leave next month for Missouri, where she will reside with her daughter. S. W. Bienkey and wife returned to Fort Wayne this morning after being the guests of friends and relatives in the city for some time. Apple and cherry trees valued at $2,000 were destroyed by fire on the George Harnish farm, south of Bluffton Thursday. The fire is beliveed to have resulted from a spark thrown by a Lake Erie and Western locomotive. William Hickman and Dennis Hallisay, of South Bend, were inflicted by the federal grand jury for making and passing counterfeit half dollars. Martha Wise, of Wakarusa, was indicted for sending an objectionable letter through the malls. That every Decatur industry is in operation at present is encouraging. The wage earners are promised employment throughout the winter and in this event it is not probable that so many families will be in destitute circumstances. Mrs. Florence Rice and daughter Bernice have gone to Fort Wayne for a few days’ visit with relatives. Miss Anna Elcock, of Van Wqrt, returned to her home this morning after remaining for several days as the guest of Mrs. Shrock. Squire J. H.

Wooden water mains which had been in service at South Bend thirtysix years have just been replaced by iron pipes. The mains were in a good state of preservation, and it would have been possible to use them several years longer. The federal grand jury at Indianapolis failed to rteurn an indictment against Amos Uetzler, charged with the robbery of the postoffice at South Whitley more than a year ago, and he v.ag released. Hetzler was arrested at Toledo some weeks ago.
