A CORROBORATION. Os Interest to Decatur Readers. • For months Decatur citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Decatur residents. Would these prominent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would tl ev confirm their statements after years had elapsed, if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? No stronger proof of merit can be had than cures that have stood the test of time. The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Decatur reader. John Oswalt, Elm street, Decatur, Indiana, says: “During the civil war I was injured and ever since I have been bothered by dull, heavy pains across the small of my back. When I used Doan’s Kidney Pills procured from the Holthouse Drug Co., I did not expect they would cure me, but I must say that they have benefitted me a great deal. I made this fact known through a public statement in August, 1902. and at this time I can confirm what I then said. I have since heard of other persons who have been entirely cured of kidney trouble by this splendid remedy." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name —Doan’s —and take no other.

WOMEN’S BEAUTY It Can Never Be Perfect Without Luxuriant Hair. A head of luxuriant hair is sure to b“ attractive. But nature has not crowned every woman with glorious hair. Some very loveable women she has treated rather scantily in this respect. For instance, there are tens of thousands of women in America today who have harsh, faded and lustreless hair, | who are unattractive simply because! they do not know that nowadays even the whims of nature can be overruled ' by the genius of science. If you are a woman without beauti-1 ful hair, do not permit your attractions , to be hidden because of this slight | misfortune. Go today to Holthouse Drug Co. and buy a large bottle of Parisian Sage for 50 cents, use it each night, and you will notice the harsh, repulsive hair disappear, and in its place will come sofe, silky, bright and luxuriant hair. Parisian Sage is guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co. to cure dandruff, itching of the scalp, and stop falling hair In two weeks, or money back.

It Tastes Good and Creates Strength \tKbl the famous cod liver and iron medicine, without oil. Vinol is much better than cod liver oil and emulsions, because, while it contains all the medicinal value they do, it disagrees with no one. As a body builder and strength creator for old people, delicate children, after sickness, and for stubborn coughs and colds Vinol is unequaled. Smith, Yager & Falk DRUGGIST S Decatur, Indiana

A DOUBLE SORROW t • (Continued from Page Om> , old mother, whose heart, he well knew, would be broken over the sad affliction. The pathos of rhe seene at ' the home when Mr. Touhey was carried there helpless and moaning was indescribably pitiful. As only a mother can. Mrs. Touhey wept bitter|ly. and the intensity of the grief of I those near to the man (cannot be reckoned, when the statement was < given out that he probably could never walk again without the use of •crutches. So:row (and misfortune i never came so forcibly to a Decatur | family as did it this morning to them. 1 Mr. Touhey had learned to walk about the city without a guide. In a small i way he was enjoying life by the association of his friends, and they are innumerable, but that he will never again be able to walk to and fro as before is awful to contemplate. The sympathy of all go out to him and the relatives in the hour of bereavement. The Democrat believes there are times when the public should not only be sympatheic but charitable. Their charity should reach down into their pockets and help Jim Touhey, who is not only blind but is also a cripple, and will be perhaps for the remainder of his life. It is a sad story of a most unfortunate man. Every one likes Jim Touhey and he deserves better, but such is fate. Through it all, he needs your sympathy, but let’s show him that we are charitable as well. The Democrat is going to start a fund to help Jim Touhey through these dark hours of trial, and the Democrat readers are invited to subscribe thereto to any amount you may feel disposed. All monies will be rereceipted for and your name added to the list below. Jim Touhey Fund. Democrat $5.00

WERE IN A PANIC (Continued from Fare One) was supported by the wire fell to the floor resultant to the popular hostelry catching fire and every precaution was taken to prevent a conflagration. Electricity emanated from every light in flashes and much alarm was caused. The voltage entered the line leading to the Hain meat market with suet) force that the front of the building caught fire immediately. Frank Keller who is employed at the market grasped the switch to turn on the lights and he was dashed to the floor with great force by the shock he received. C. D. Murray was entering the shop when the unseen force was playing havoc, and he was all but hurled to the floor. He stepped upon the stone in the front of the building which was thoroughly charged. Although the amount of damage will reach a large figure It is fortunate indeed that no lives were lost nor injuries inflicted as a consequence of the unharnessed force. The water works plant was shut down for a short time this morning to allow the workmen to disconnect the circuit to avert accidents to pedestrians.

o HE WILL NOT INTERFERE. Governor Marshal WiU Permit the Pardon Board to Act Indianapolis, February 19. —Governor Marshal informed the state board of pardons that the board's decision would be final in all recommendations ’ for pardons so far as his office was concerned. The governor had a brief interview with the state board. Governor Marshal talked to the board along the line of a letter which he sent to the members a few days ago. In his letter he said: “As a general rule I do not propose to interfere with your conduct except when it may be necessary to do so to preserve the health of a prisoner, I will not promise that when a prisoner has long been confined in the penitentiary under life sentence that I may not vary this rule. But my intention is to have you discharge the duties of the state board of pardons.'* One of the members of the board said yesterday that Governor Hanly, during his administiatlon. turned down at least 11 per cent of the recommendations which the board made. “I propose,” said Governor Marshal, “to accept the recommendations made by the board. The members are supposed to know of the merits of each case and when the board makes a recommendation I certainly shall see that it is carried out.’’ o WASHINGTON ONCE GAVE UP to three doctors; was Kept in bed for five weeks. Blood poison from "a spider's bite caused large, deep sores to cover his leg. The doctors failed, then “Buck Jen’s Arnica Salve completely cured me," writes John Washington .of Bosqueville, Tex.
