" When the general appropriation bill is brought up for consideration later o:i in the session, some of the persons in the state house now drawing comfortable salaries will use a magnifying glass in vain to discover where they come in. It seems to be settled that they won't come in at all. If plans now on foot can be carried out no appropriations for salaries will be made unless there is a separate law creating the office and fixing the salary. It has been the practice for several years to slip extra salary items into the appropriation bills, thus making pleasant and profitable jobs where none existed under any independent enactment. The Indianapolis Sun has become the mouthpiece of that element of the Democracy of Indiana which is laboring under the delusion that the result of the November election was I a declaration of the people in favor of a repeal of the local option law. The Sun therefore criticises the views, of Samuel M. Ralston and other Democrats and Democratic newspapers that favor giving the law a trial. The Sun and the class it represents insisted before the election with great vehemence that the temperance question was not an “issue” —that it had been settled by the special session of the legislature, combatting the assertion of tfce Republican press and leaders that the election of a Democratic governor and legislature meant the triumph of the brewery and saloon element in politics. The Democratic voters of Indiana will not stand for some of the things that blind" leadership threatens to foist up-on them. The party today is on the threshold of an era of great usefulness in Indiana, under the leadership of Governor Marshall, if it does not fall a victim to misguided leadership.—Lebanon Pioneer, FOR SALE—A second nand low wheel wagon.

CROUP

THERE IS NOTHING that strikes terror to the hearts of parents more than to be awakened in the night by the ringing cough which accompanies an attack us croup. The child may retire with nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family be aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where there are small children should be prepared for these sudden attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY that has been in use for nearly forty years and never known to fail.

Mr. Homer Krohn, of Lisbon, lowa, in a letter to the manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy praises this medicine for what it has done for his children. He say?: “It has not only saved them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my bov had the croup so bad in the night that had it not been for having a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in the house he would have choked before a doctor could have gotten to the house. It is a medicine that no one should be without at any time." It is pleasant to take and many children like it.

Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during the early winter months, and every family with young children should be prepared for it Keep a bottle of CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY in your home. It only costs a quarter, large size 50 cents. Your druggist sells it

HENRY SCHELEGEL. CONTEMPT He Had on a Package That Was a Beaut Besides. Henry Schlegel is resting at the county jail, being taken up for contempt of court. He was subpoenaed to the hearing that gave his eleven year old son to the board of children's guardians. Instead of appearing, he took on a jag and this information coming to the court, the order went out to have him taken for contempt. Henry Schlegel is a good hearted man, but his love for the flowing bowl has brought him to the present state. ONE MORE CHARITY Charles Schlegel Turned Over to Childrens Guardians THE BONDS ARRIVE But One Macadam Road to Be Sold on Monday The Board of Children's Guardians I are again doing business, they having been given the care and custody of Charles Schlegel, the eleven year old son of Henry Schlegel of this city. This grand rush is enough to scare the life out of the members of this charitable board, or fear an epidemic was abroad in the land. While the cases that have come before the board in the last few weeks are perhaps worthy of the consideration given, yet we can see where they can easily be imposed upon. A few prosecutions in that event would not come amiss, and we would be surprised if Prosecutor Heller would take this same view of it. This makes eight children that the board of children’s guardians will take to the home near Peru some time during the coming week. The bonds for the Preble-Kirkland, W. A. Bowman. W. A. Tieman, William Gallmeyer, E. H. Faust, and Henry Wafel macadam roads arrived today and are secure in the hands of Auditor Michaud. They will be signed up and approved by the board of commissioners and delivered to their purchaser next week. But one macadam road will be offered for sale by the commissioners while in session for their February term. That road is known as the Broadstock and traverses a portion of Hartford township, — (j . Conkey’s Roup Cure SOc. at Smith, Yager and Falk’s. Makes 25 gallons medicine. Save your fowls.

“We guarantee every bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says W. M. Parish, Palmerston, Ontario. “Out of the many bottles sold last winter not one was returned. We recommend it especially for children with croup." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its prompt cures of coughs, colds and croup. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse an attack of croup may be averted. This medicine is entirely free from narcotics or injurious substances of any kind and may be given to the little ones with absolute safety.

Representative Gottschalk was in the city for a short time this morning on his way home from Indianapolis,* going on to Berne this afternoon.

NO FIRE TEAM City Council Are Thinking Favorably of Installing Auto Truck INSTEAD OF TEAM The Auto Will Be of Modern Construction — Plans Being Drawn It is now almost a certainty that the city council will buy an automobile truck to be used in the new fire department instead of a team of horses, and negotiations to that end are now going on. Several of the members of the council have, while on visits in the city of Indianapolis, inspected the automobile apparatus which is utilized in conveying the chemical engine, hose reel and ladders to fires and they are convinced that the device is in many ways preferrable to a team of horses. It would mean, they contend, a very noticeable saving of money to the city. While there may not be more than one fire a month. In the event that a team would be kept there would be the constant expense of feeding the animals, while the auto would incur no expense whatever. The automobile the councilmen have in mind is one which will carry a chemical engine on its front, a hose reel behind and the ladder cart trailing behind. The council Is fusing discretion tn the matter, and they are doing all in their power to engineer the establishment of the new and much needed enterprise to the utmost satisfaction of every taxpayer of the city. The architect is busy drawing the plans and will have same completed by February fifteenth. There Is only one feature which has not been definitely decided by the city dads, and that is as to wehther or not the front of the building will be constructed of solid stone or brick with stone trimmings. The floor plan is settled. A‘. Tuesday night's meeting the matter will be settled in its entirety and bonds ordefed advertised for sale.
