THEY HAVE TACKLED THE REAL THING I ' The republican party .has /the biggest proposition on its hands right . now it has had since it first came 1

into existence. The revision of the tariff is a bigger job than licking Spain, sealing the presidency or ' building the Panama canar. The whole organization is going to be shaken up before the new tariff bill is in shape to get through the senate < and house. The democratic party 1 tried its hand at revising the tariff ’ downward and succeeded In revising '

itself out of power. The trouble with the job is, about every congressman and every senator differs with every other congressman and every other 1 senator as to what articles should ' put on the free list, what ones should ' have the tariff reduced and what ones ’

should have the tariff increased upon them. Take hides for instance: You will find democrats who are in favor of free hides and democrats who want hides protected; you can find republicans who want hides protected and republicans who want hides oh the free list: Each man is influenced by his constituency. The man who sells a hide or two a year is against taking the tariff off, and the man who has no hides to sell, but has to buy boots or shoes, wants the tariff removed. The same thing is true to a greater or less extent of every other article included in the entire list of articles which enter into the schedule. Not only are thousands of individuals interested in the framing of the new rates, but manufacturers in all parts of the country are also interested,

some of them demanding free raw materials and protection on the fin- ' ished products, and others demanding : a prohibitive tariff on all gfiicies manufactured by them. And the representatives of the people who have I Jo determine these matters fcavq their I eyes and ears open all the time try J i ing to figure out what the effect is going to be on their political future. ■ and the political future usually reI celves more consideration than the ’ justice of the tariff rate to be agreed upon. When the democrats revised I the tariff the bill was so out of the , way in Cleveland's estimation that I h<. would not give it his approval by . signing the bill, but permtted it to become a law without his signature. The bill was not satisfactory and the democratic party went down and out ; and has been out ever since. Will the republican party pass through a similar experience?—Columbia City Pest.

GETTING READY FOR PRIMARY —— Bluffton Democrats Talking Some of < City Nominations. The meeting of the democratic city < committee will be held tonight in the < office of W. H. Eichhorn, city chair- i man. This meeting was called for a 1 1 week ago tonight but Mr. Eichhorn ( had to go to Decatur and was unable

to be present at the meeting. The ‘ members of the committee did not feel like taking steps until the return of the chairman. Upon the return of Mr. Eichhorn from Decatur yester- c day he issued a call for the committee to meet tonight At the meeting it £ is probable that the date for the city primary will be set, although this c

matter may be postponed. As there are really no avowed candidates for . any of the offices yet, although two or three have expressed themselves as I wishing to run. It is hard for the committee to learn just when the candidates would like to have the primary. It is probable that the primary will be held in the spring to keep from a long campaign. If the date would be set in September there would be a hustle between the can--1 didates wishing nomination between now and then. —Bluffton Banner. o NOTICE TO ICE CONSUMERS—Owing to the scarcity of ice and the necessity of shipping in the supply for Decatur, all ice tickets must be . paid for in advance. This change in i the method of doing business has . been necessitated by the fact that all ice must be paid for in cash upon its receipt in this city. William Mers- ■ man, H. L. Conter. ts

“MONTANA.” One of the most notworthy productions of the season will be the presentation of Henry D. Carey's great American play, “Montana,” at fine opera house for one night only .Friday, March 26th. When Mr. Carey wrote “Montana’’ he knew his subject. He understood the spirit of the west and knew how to stage it. The play is replete with natural people and is redolent of the plains. The great strength and merit of the play lies in the fact of the author’s knowledge of the west, its people and its ways. You do not see the usual conventional western blood and thunder melodrama in "Montana,” but a clean, pure, natural, convincing story of the plains. No expense has been spared in. the production. The scenery and costumes are in keeping with the demands of the play and the cast is one of artistic excellence. A splendid performance of a great play is assured. o IN CIRCUIT COURT

Appetite is just a natural desire for i food. Loss of appetite or stomach i distress after eating indicate indi- I gestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating is 1 a habit very dangerous to a person’s good general health, and insatiable , appetite is a sure symptom of dia- 1 betes. ( It is not what you eat but what < you digest and assimilate that does s you good. Some of the strongest, t heaviest and healthiest persons are : moderate eaters, , There is nothing that will create i sickness or cause more trouble than i a disordered stomach, and many people daily contract serious maladies i simply through disregard or abuse of the stomach. We urge everyone In Decatur who i is suffering from any stomach derangement, indigestion or dyspepsia, .

whether acute or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the distinct understanding that we will refund their money without question or formality, if after reasonable use of this medicine, they are not perfectly satisfied with the results. We recommend them to our customers every day, and have yet to hear of any one who has not been benefited by them. We honestly believe them to be without equal.

We urge you to try a 25c box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives 15 days - treatment. At the end of that time, your money will be returned to you if you are not satisfied. Os course, in chronic cases length of treatment varies. For such cases, we have larger sizes,which sell for 45c an<f 89c. The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co., Decatur, Ind.

GOING LIKE TICKETS AT A COUNTY FAIR. Much Talk is Being Created by the Great Good it is Doing. So much talk is being created by the great good Root Juice is doing at this point that some people think it is good for every ailment. The scientist said: “Root Juice is not a cure-all. There are many troubles it will not benefit, it will not cure organic heart and lung troubles, cancer and other incurable maladies, but if it is used for any trouble of the stomach, bowels, liver or kidneys that can be cured with medicine, I believe Root Juice will remove obstructions and give nature a chance to restore health, the combination of roots and other ingredients in Root Juice has a remarkable soothing, healing and tonic action on the stomach, bowels, bladder, liver and kidneys.” Numbers of local people have called at Hoithouse drug store and reported rapid improvement under the Root Juice treatment. A lady who for various reasons does not wish her name published said: “I was so bad before taking Root Juice with my kidneys and stomach, that I could not straighten up after stooping without sharp pains shooting through my back, had dizzy spells, and was very nervous. My eyesight was badly affected. Kidney secretions were Very frequent at night. My hands and feet were cold, the circulation was very poor. When I got up of mornings. I was just as tired as when 1 went to bed. At times there was a feeling in my stomach like I had swallowed rocks. I often had severe pains in my side and had frequent headaches. I was very sallow with .dark rings under my eyes. I tried many medicines without benefit, but Root Juice is making a new woman of me. My complexion Is clearing up. 1 have a good appetite and digest my food, my kidneys no longer give me trouble and I am entirely free from pain, although I have only used the great remedy a short time." Such praise is now being heard every day at the Holthouse drug store.
