instrumental in securing the defeat o' the high license bill by the legislature of 1907 are not about convinced by this time that they made a colossal, stupid mistake? Had the unholy alliance between the liquor dealers and the prohibitionists failed to accomplish its purpose, much of the troubles with which the state is now , afflicted would have been avoided. But it’s the old, old story told over and over: "Whom the gods would destroy, they first made mad.” The prohibitionists accomplished their purpose easily, and they have abundant reason to congratulate theta' selves on how advantageously they played their part of the program in defeating high license—or, in other words, on their shtewdtiesd in getting the liquor dealers to pull the prohibition chestnuts out of the fire—South Bend Times.

Six weeks of intense suffering from blood poisoning and gangrene in their ■worst forms has culminated in the ' untimely demise of Mrs. Roy Heller, late of Kirkland township, whose spirit , tcok its flight this morning at four o'clock. Subsequent to the birth of a baby boy the woman became ser- 1 ioulsy ill as a consequence of the development of the above stated ail- 1 ments and with the passing of each day her condition grew weaker, the pangs of suffering becoming more excruciating as days went by. Displaying always wonderful vitality, she fought nobly against the coming of the death angel, entertaining hopes urtil the last hours of recovering, but without avail. She was taken suddenly worse last night and ere the attendants were aware the most estimable woman had been ushered before her maker. The deceased, but twenty years of age, was beloved by all who knew her. Her kind disposition and sterling worth had made her popular among a host of friends and the members of the immediate family are not alone in their hour of sorrow, but are joined by innumerable friends who will deplore the death of Mrs. Heller. The funeral services will be held from the Zion church Monday morning at ten o’cock interment to be made at the church cemetery.' The decedent is survived by two brothers, William and Louis Scherry and one sister, Susan Corson of Lancaster, Ohio.

Many of the more fortunate induced the merchants to cash checks, but in a short time this means of relief gave out and the remainder of the pleasure seekers who could not receive financial aid from their friends and fraternity brothers were compelled to change their minds and remain at home.

A BOYCOTT FOR RICHMOND Like All Efforts in this Line it Will End tn Failure. Richmond. Ind., Feb. 13. There are indications of a general movement in the territory outside of this city to put into effect a boycott against Richmond, because of the fact that it voted wet in the recent county local option election thereby causing the county to go wet. The first action to this effect, as far as public announcement is concerned, comes from Dublin where resolutions were passed at a meeting held this week, condemning Richmond business men and newspapers for their attitude on the option question and declaring they will withhold their patronage from the saloon and its sympathizers in Wayne county and elsewhere. Those who are back of the movement at Dublin give out the report that similar action will be taken in other towns and communities of the county and from as far away as Eaton, 0.. comes a report that the "drys” will put into effect a boycott against Richmond.

OF SCARLET FEVER Child of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Bailor Has Died BURIAL TODAY Was 11l for Several Weeks —A Private . Burial Last evening at seven o’clock Forest Erenzo, the four and one-half year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Bailor breathed its last after a long siege of scarlet fever, which proved excruciating in the extreme to the child of tender years. The child who was born June 21, 1904. became ill several weks ago. and although no alarm was then caused, the case soon assumed a seriousness which foretokened early death. The child grew worse each day, and it was known several days ago that the coming of the death angel could not be avoided. The house has been closely guarded that the n.alady could get no chance to spread and thus far there are no other cases reported. No funeral services will be held over the remains, but burial will take place this afternoon privately. It is hoped that no new cases of the disease will develop.

A BAPTIST ELDER lustered to Health by Vinol *1 was run down and weak from indigestion and general debility, also suffered from vertigo. I saw a cod liver preparation called Vinol advertised and decided to give it a trial, and the results were moet gratifying. After taking two bottles I regained my strength and am now feeling unusually well.” Henry Cunningham, Elder Baptist Church, Kingston, N. C. Vinol is not a patent medicine —but a preparation composed of the medicinal elements of cods’ livers, combined with a tonic iron and wine. Vinol creates a hearty appetite, tones up the organs of digestion and makes rich, red blood. In this natural manner, Vinol creates strength for the run-down, overworked and debilitated, and for delicate children and old people. For chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis Vinol to unexcelled. All such persons in this vicinity are asked to try Vinol on our offer to refund their money if it falls to give satisfaction. Smith. Yager & Falk DRUGGIBra Decatur, Indiana
