Entered al the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana aa second-class mall matter, A H. HELLER, Manager. John W. Eggeman. one of the biggest Democrats In Indiana, and one of the best as well, has been chosen as chairman of the city committee in Fort Wayne. The selection is such as will demand the confidence and success of the Democracy of the city of Fort Wayne. I It Is better understood now why Jim Watson remained in Washington to aid Cannon in his fight for the ■ speakership. It was the fight of his life, and it is believed if it had not been for the aid he received from

President Taft he would have been defeated. Watson did his share toward retaining Cannon, of whom many prominent republicans in and out of congress are heartily tired. The rules were amended and in future there will be some show for the minority to get a squarer deal.—Columbia City Post. The eleven Indiana democratic congressmen met in Washington at the beginning of the session and resolved to place themselves entirely in the hands of Champ Clark, "willing to go any length to embarass the republicans.” This action ought to tickle nearly to death those strong republican districts of the state that sent

democratic members to congress at the November election.—Fort Wayne News. Cannonism is like the local option question in Indiana, there is not much politics in it. The eleven Democrats who voted against the Czar of congress and a standpatter of standpatters, voted the sentiments of about as many Republicans as Democrats. The News will have to dig up another mare’s nest, one too, that has more stingers. Twelve city bonds whose face value is one thousand dollars each, brought in the open market under a sealed, bid, four hundred and fifty dollars premium. That is going some, and is cause sufficient for every citizen of our city to touch off a little of the red light in celebration of our good standing in the money markets of the world. It was not always so. To make it all the stronger there were twelve bids, seven of them from Chicago, while

Her note is as good as old wheat in the bin, and that means everything to a city, the same as it everything to an individual.

This is the sort of booming they are doing, and during the remainder of the week opportunity will be presented to those who are inclined to look frith favor upon this sort of investment. The gentlemen who are here are representative looking pople and they no doubt bear the credentials of doing a square toed business. O'. A LIBERAL OFFER. The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co., Guarantee to Cure Dyspepsia. If They Fall, The Medicine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the people of Decatur that indigestion and dyspepsia is curable and that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will effect the cure, we will furnish the medicine absolutely free if it fails to give complete satisfaction to any one giving it a trial. The remarkable success of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the new and successful method of manufacture, whereby the well-known properties of Bismuth, Subnitrate and pepsin have been combined with carminatives and their agents. Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are recognized by the entire medical profession as specifics for adute indigestion and dyspepsia. The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is manufactured by a new process which develops its greatest efficiency. Pepsin supplies to the digestive apparatus one of the most important elements of the digestive fluid, and exerts a tonic Influence upon all the glands which supply all the other elements necessary to proper assimilation and digestion. The carminatives add properties which promptly relieve the disturbance and pain caused by undigested food.

The perfect combination of these ingredients make a remedy absolutely incomparable and invaluable for the complete cure of indigestion and dyspepsia. We are so postively certain of this that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets on our own personal guarantee that they will either cure you or cost you nothing.—The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co., Decatur, Indiana.

At a meeting of the Adams County Bar Association held on the Igth day of March. 1909, the following resolution was adopted: IN MEMORIAM.

Hon. David Eley was bom in Washington township. Adams county, Indiana. on February 27th, 1841, son of Michael and Rachel Eley. the age of eighteen he commenced teaching school. Afterward he attended several institutions of learning and graduated at the Indiana State University at Bloomington, with the degree of Bachelor of Law. For two years he was astudent in the law office of France & Heller at Decatur, after which he began the practice of the law. His success was marked from the beginning. He was elected justice of the peace and served for four years. He also served as deputy prosecutor for five years. In 1882 he was elected to represent Adams and Jay counties in the state legislature, and was reelected in 1884. On account of impaired health he soon after abandoned the practice of law and engaged in agricultural pursuits. As a lawyer, David Eley was industrious, able, courteous and of a kindly disposition in his intercourse with his professional brethren, always enjoying the respect and confidence of bench and bar and never allowing the antagonisms of professional business to interrupt the warmth and cordiality of his personal friendship. He bore the pain and trial of long and distressing illness with fortitude and patience and in a serene faith, which leaves his wide and varied circle of friends a legacy of hope that his end is peace. We, his professional brethren, who knew him long, intimately and well and therefore hold in high appreciation the qualities of mind and and heart which characterized his useful life, do unite in this imperfect memorial. We extend to his- wife and family our Sincere 'condolence and direct that a copy of this memorial be transmitted to the family of our deceased brother and that a page of the Order Book of the Adams Circuit Court be dedicated and set apart to the memory of our brother and that this nft>morial be transcribed therein. < R. S. PETERSON. LEWIS C. DeVOSS, CLARK J. LUTZ, Committee.

TAKING EVIDENCE * j • Hearing Evidence in the » Gallmeyer Case MUCH INTEREST Preble Township More Than Interested in the Case * The lines are drawn and the batt’e is on in the Adams circuit court in the Gallmeyer case, .viost of those in the court room during the day were in some manner interested in the case, which perhaps has developed a greater interest and more feeling than any other one thing that has ever happened in Preble township. The issues were all completed and the taking of evidence began late yesterday afternoon, and nearly the entire day today was taken up in hearing the evidence of Ernest and C. D. Gallmeyer, both of whom were taken over lhe history pt this case, and they toth made good witnesses. The many complications in the case, together with the intent of both sides to never 'give up until the old cat dies, makes the case one in which the best fighting blood is displayed. This fact adds much interest, and it is likely that before the case ends the public generally will be displaying more than ordinary interest in the outcome. It is likely that the evidence in chief for the plaintiff will be concluded by this evening, although this is by no means certain. It will then take the defense a day or two for their evidence, and then the fireworks.

HELPED CANNON (Ooatlaned from page 1.) Joe Cannon from becoming a mere figurehead. Among the Cannon men nothing is too good for Fitzgerald. He is free to stuff himself on all the choice edibles on the speaker’s table. Today he got a big plum in the shape of an appointment over the head of Champ Clark, Democratic leader, on the committee on rules. The speaker had to pry Judge DeArmond of Missouri off the committee to make a place for him, but Fitzgerald’s services entitled him to anything he wanted and as his desire was to go on the committee on rules he got his reward. Washington, March 17. —The Payne tariff bill will be introduced in the house today soon after the house convened. In the meantime the bill will be re-printed. At a meeting of the subcommittee of Republican members held today after Speaker Cannon had appointed the committee on ways and means, several changes in the bill were agreed to. The meeting was for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the new Republican member, Representative Cushman of Washington, who had no knowledge of the proIrisions of the bill. o - SIMPLE REMEDY FOR LAGRIPPE Lagrippe con* are dangerous as they frequently develop into pneumonia.
