• TENT WAS STRICK t - Lightning Played Havoc on S Rudolph Atz Farm in j 8 this County o B ; TENT SHATTERED Horses Had Been Taken from the Tent and hut • Little Damage Done I The lightning of Monday night was ( not thought to have done any damage ( in this vicinity, but on going to his i portable saw mill located on the Rui dclph Atz farm in Adams county, yes--1 i terday. G. W. Sickler found the lightning had struck a large center pole iof a tent used for the keeping of | horses and had shattered it into many j thousand (pieces. The pole which was I about six inches in diameter, was topi ped by a piece of steel projecting j through the top of the tent, and it is ; thought that the flash struck this and went to the ground breaking the pole squarely off. The tent was empty nt the time and Mr. Sickler will only be the loser of the pole. The horses usually kept under the cover had been brought to this city, as the portable plant is being prepared to be moved to the farm of William Suttle near Phoenix, but owing to the condition of the roads the trip has beet! delayed. Had there been horses in the, tent at the tittle of the lightning they 1 would probably been killed by the shock and Mr, Sickler feels himself exceedingly lucky on this score. The ■ tent was not torn, but a large hole was left in the ground at the bottom of the pole and splinters scattered over the ground to tell the tale. — Bluffton Banner.

OPTIONISTS PRINT PAPER. Issue News Sheet “for Once’’ in Rush County Campaign. Rushville, Ind.. Feb. 25— Something new in county option circles was sprung today when the local option committee printed a two-page, tencolumn paper advocating its side of the question. The publication of a local option newspaper is rather a unique innovation in carrying on a campaign and is the first attempt of the kind ever made in a small city fight. The paper is called the Local Option News, and is marked as an only once” publication. The columns are filled with paragraphs appropriate to the cause and a number of news articles pertinent to the temperance question. Twenty-five hundred copies of the issue have been printed and will be distributed over the city and county. The “wets” have confined their campaign to newspaper advertising and are making no attempt to stir up sentiment in their favor by public meeting or any display work. HAD TO RETURN Rev. Spetnagle Found High Waters in Vicinity of Geneva

TRIP ABANDONED

Was Going to Open Temperance Campaign at New Corydon V? rrj • • •: »• The Rev. Richard Spetnagle left on the afternoon train yesterday for Geneva. from where he expected to drive to New Corydon to open a temperance campaign for the Jay county forces. He was billed io deliver an address at the M. E. church at that place. The minister and Thomas liuckmaster secured a vehicle at Geneva and proceeded to drive to the Jay'county village.* They had gone but a short distance, however, until they found that the road was impassable on account of the high waters. The streams in that vicinity had overflown and the water in places was more than a foot deep. The gentlemen returned and started on another road onlj- to encounter the same difficulty and it became necessary for them to abandon the trip. They returned on the afternoon train. The people in the vicinity say the water is very high there, and a number of the roads are practically impassable. The lob is but a mass of water and the farmers in that vicinity are encountering much difficulty.

The St. Marys river has overflown its banks and the bottom on the east side of the stream is filled with water. The river is rising constantly and from indications it will reach a higher altitude than it has for years. o . NERVOUS PROSTRATION. — Indigestion Causes It—Mi-o-na Will Cure It If you have indigestion, you don’t get all the nutrition out of your food that you should. Your worn out stomach passes the food on without extracting enough nutritious substance to supply the blood and nerves. And if the nerves are not supplied with nourishment they begin to rebel. They kick up a great disturbance. They make you irritabla and cranky, you worry about trifles, and you cannot sleep soundly at night, you have bad dreams, and you get up tired in the morning.

Try Mi-o-na tablets, the money back cure. Mi-o-na will cure your nervousness by driving out the cause. Mi-o-na will give you relief the first hour. It will cure acute c-ses .in a few days, and chronic cases in a few weeks. Belchirg of gas, heartburn, sour taste of food, waterbrash, foul breath and other dyspeptic symptoms vanish before the mighty power of Ml-o-na. Try Mi-o-na. Holthouse Drug Co. sells it and will refund your money if it doesn’t cure, and only 50 cents a large box.

The conditions of the contest and which will govern the players are as follows: Total -pins tp count, unless theepntestant'.Jafli 10 complete,tho schedule,' the winner to take the entire purse which will be-hung up-by the proprietors of the alley, the contest to start' at no®n( otae Hour to be taken oft for, supper, one hour at midnight and one ’hour off for breakfast Thursday morning, the contest to close Thursday at noon.
