Don’t imagine that because the ccunty went ‘’dry" by a three to one vote at the recent local option election that the evils of intemperance be now wholly eradicated. There are other ways of getting the stuff besides through the saloons, we are sorry to say.—Winchester Democrat. Senator Hawkins, ‘‘the gentleman from Jay,” is habitually inclined to misrepresent things. He made so many misstatements during his campaign for congress last fall that his own friends refused to regard him as a sincere man. But he never made a worse mistake than when he wrongfully accused Senator Fleming, and the one shining example of good judgment on his part was when he hurriedly changed the subject after hearing Mr. Fleming’s denunciation. Mr. Fleming does not mince words and he is capable of backing up what he says.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Among the many pleasant and interesting features of the Democratic .

Heckman Were Surprised Last Night A pleasant surprise was given yesterday afternon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Dilles on north Fifth street in honor of their little daughter, Florence’s eighth birthday.

Those present were Cleo Steel, Urelile Amspaugh, Esther Bowers, Mary Gagl, Edna Coffee, Celeste Coffee, Esther Coffee, Glen Lake Anito Swearing, Ireta Miller, Angelina Ferks, Virginia Platz. Games were played and music and a dainty luncheon was served, then all took their departure wishing Florence many more such events. At the home of Mss Nora Smith, three of the teachers of the high srhool, Misses Johnson, Dunathan and Smith will entertain the members of the sophomore class at a class party. The decorations will be the colors of the class, presenting a gay appearance, throughout the house. The amusements of the evening will be very entertaining to the sophomores. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Heckman, of north Third street were greatly surprised last evening, when a company of friends and neighbors masqueraded, called to see them. The assemblage presented an interesting appearance, Mrs. Chris Boknecht and Mr. Hendricks won prizes for being masked best. Progressive peanuts was the order of the evening, Mr. Frank McConnel securing the prize. Those present were Messrs, and Mesdames David Gerber. Fred Smith, Meibers.

Before an audience consisting of 1 about fifteen of the Sisters of St. Agnes' music pupils, Miss Genevieve Berling was given another test, again proving beyond a doubt her ability as an accomplished pianist, also that she has thoroughly mastered the work in the first five grades of the national graded music course, and is capable of taking up sixth grade work. Before a diploma will be issued from the fifth grade a pupil must be master of speed keep perfect time, and have a complte understanding of all the scales. The time Miss Berling kept was meronome speed, Sr. Aveline, principal of the music academy, counting thoroughout every number. That Miss Agnes is efficient in all these requirements was clearly demonstrated last evening to the complete satisfaction of all. In connection with her exercises she also played two beautiful numbers, “Concert Polonaise” and “Shower of Stars,” which were faultlessly rendered. Miss Bering's progress under the capable teaching of the sisters, has certainly been marvelous. Next week a certain evening will be designated when the parents of the pupils in the fourth and fifth grades will be invited to the academy in order to show them just what will be expected of any one completing the fifth grade. Those present last evening were Sisters Aloysia. Charlotta, Hnrietta, Fabiola, Pulcheria, Mrs. Clem Voglewede, Misses Lettie Fullenkamp, Fannie Rice, Adella Sellemeyer, Nora Ahr, Emma Schlickman.

In fact, there are some persons whose opinions are entitled to eminent respect who seriously doubt whether it will be possible to get any sort of legislation through the maelstrom of contending interests to the final goal of enactment.

You canot be over-careful in the selection of medicflne for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medicine should ever be given. Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are too apt to do more harm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other distressing after-effects that are frequently health destroying and a lifelasting annoyance. We personally recommend and gaurantee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remedy for constipation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute faith in the supreme virtues of this remedy that we sell it on our guarantee of jmoney back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction. and we ureg all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk. Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely new ingredient which is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It embraces all the best qualities o the soothing, lavative, strengthening and healing remedial active principles of the best known intestinal regulator tonics. Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleasant to take, are particularly prompt and agreeable In action, may be taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or other undesirable effects. They have a very natural action upon the glands and organs with which they come in contact, act as a positive and regulative tonic upon the relax, dry muscular coat of the bowel, remove irritation, dryness and soreness, overcome weakness, and tone and strengthen the nerves and muscles, and restore the bowels and associate organs to more vigorous and healthy activity, Rexall Orderlies not only cure constipation, but they remove the cause of this ailment. Tehy also overcome the necessity of constantly taking laxatives to keep the bowels in ncrmal condition. There is really no similar medicine sc- good as Rexall Orderles, especially for children, aged and delicate persons, They are prepared in tablet form nad in two sizes of packages; IS tablets, 10c., and 36 tablets, 25c.

PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD Hi, Weak and kmaoiated, Hectored to Health by Vinol “Our little daughter, six year# of age, after a severe attack of the measles, which developed Into pneumonia, was left pitifully thin, weak and emaciated. She had no appetite, and her stomach was so weak it could not retain tood. She lay in this condition for weeks, and nothing the doctor prescribed did a bit of good, and we were beginning to think she would never recover. "At this time we commenced to give her Vinol, and the effect was marvelous. The doctor was amazed at her progress, and when we told him we were giving her Vinol, he replied, Tt is a fine remedy, keep it up.’ We did so, and she recovered her health and strength months before the doctor thought she could.” X W. Flagg, Portland, Me. Vinol cures conditions like this because In a natural manner It increases the appetite, tones up the digestive organs, makes rich, red blood, and strengthens every organ in the body.
