While the candidates for postmaster at Bluffton are getting into the limelight, the postmaster at Ridgeville resigned because the office did not pay enough for the time and energy needed for the disposal of the business. ■ Thus it will always be. At Hartford City another newspaper ; has sprung into existence, its mission at present being to fight the battles of the Anti-saloon league in the local option campaign that is waging there. Besides, every new venture of this sort think they have the world by the heels, and this illusion usually lasts until they waken up. So it will be in Hartford City. It is given out that President Taft will surely veto a tariff bill that does not meet the demands of the country and fails to redeem the pledges made by him and his party last fall. If there be wisdom tu the two houses of congress, the leaders will govern themselves accordingly. Tariff revision in fact, not in name only, is de-1 manded. Nothing short of that will be accepted without a protest that is certain to prove troublesome to the authors of the apprehended wrong.— South Bend Times.

BACK TO SHERON (Continued from Pare One) and it was with difficulty that a path was cleared to the coaches. As Boyles and his wife, ' each accompanied by two patrolmen walked through the train shed the crowd greeted them with hoots and jeers. That Mrs. Boyle had nothing to do with the actual kidnaping of Willie Whitla was the statement made today by the woman and her husband. Police Prosecutor Daniel Cull was in conversation with Boyle and the latter said that although he expected to be “railroaded” when tried in Pennsylvania, there is absolutely no way to connect bis wife with any offense committed in that state. He referred to Mrs. Boyle as “the woman.” To the Associated Press Mrs. Boyle said she first saw “Billy” here in Cleveland and that he “had nothing to do with the other part of the case." CASE if SETTLED Chicago and Erie Find It Cheaper to Settle Than Fight Straub Case PAY FIFTY DOLLARS

For Death of Willie Straub Who Was Killed Here Last July Will Straub met death last July while assisting in unloading a car of coal on the Chicago & Erie tracks, a train backing down on the side track and striking the car on which he was carelessly standing on the bumpers when he was knocked under the train and received injuries which proved fatal in a few days. Later his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Straub filed a suit against the Erie, demanding $2,000 damages. Yesterday Attorney A. P. Beatty settled the case for fifty dollars. The railroad contends that they were in no way to blame for the death of the young man and that they simply made this settlement because it was cheaper than trying the law suit. The money was paid to Mr. Straub at the office of his attorney, L. C. DeVoss. The case In court will now be dismissed by agreement of the parties. o For good cigar smoke the Jersey, ts

WILL EXCEED THE ESTIMATE — The Treasury Deficit Now Placed at One Hundred and Twenty Millions. Washington. March 26. —If the de- j ficit of the United States treasury does not reach $120,000,000 by the beginning of the next fiscal year, July 1, Uncle Sam's accounting officers will be very much in error in their estimating. The prospects have caught President Taft unprepared. He plac-, ed the threatened deficit at $20,000,000, less than that figure, and thought he : was far inside the lines when he gave ■ the conditions of the national finances as the reason for calling congress in extra session for a revision of the tariff. The deficit today is much mote than $39,534,000. It is increasing by leaps and bounds. The expenditures are exceeding the receipts by a daily average of more than $500,000. ■ This is not providing for the payment of th ewarrants for the many millions of dollars that the last congress appropriated. There will be in the neighborhood of $10,000,000 to pay out within a few weeks. o LAURIE MEYERS MAKES GOOD Is a Favorite at and About Monroeville.

Dr. C. L. Meyers, the veterinary surgeon of this place has his office located in his new quarters fitted up in the old Breeze office building one door east of the general store of Lew Wright and one door west of Dossin Taylor’s jewelry store on South street. He made the change from the office he has occupied on the second floor over Sweany's drug store, since locating in our city, last Monday. His change was made to avoid climbing stairs and make it more convenient for his many customers. Since opening up practice in our little city Dr. Meyers has built up a large and lucrative practice plainly demonstrating to the people, more especially the farmer with whom his practice is mainly among, that he understands his business as to all diseases of the animal kind. —Monroeville Breze. o - . ■ — THEY INJURE CHILDREN. Ordinary Carthartics and Pills and Harsh Physic Cause Distressing Complaints. You cannot be overcareful in the selection of medicine for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medicine should ever be given. Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are too apt to do more harm than good. They cause griping, nausea and other distressing after-effects that are frequently health destroying and a lifelasting annoyance.

We personally recommend and guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and most dependable remedy for constipation and associate bowel disorder's. We have such absolute faith in the supreme virtues of this remedy that we sell It on our guarantee of money back in every instance where it fails to give entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try it at our risk. Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely new ingredient which is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It embraces all the best qualities of the soothing, laxative, strengthening and healing remedial active principles of the best known intestinal regulator tonics. Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleasant to take, are particularly prompt and’ agreeable in action, may be taken at any time, day or night ;do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or other undesirable effects. They have a very natural action upon the glands and organs with w’hich they come in contact. act as a positive and regulative tonic upon the relax, dry muscular coat of the bowel, remove irritation, dryness and soreness,overcome weakness, and tone and strengthen the nerves and muscles, and restore the bowels and associate organs to more vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies not only cure constipation, but they remove the cause of this ailment. They also overcome the necessity of constantly taking laxatives to keep the bowels in normal condition.

1 There is really no similar medicine so good as Rexall Orderlies, especially for children, aged and delicate persons. They are prepared in tablet form and in two sizes of packages: 12 tablets 10c., and 36 tablest 25c. The Smith, Yager & Falk Drug Co,, Decatur, Ind.

Resolved, by the teachers of St. Mary township, Adams county, Indiana, at the institute held at Dist. No. 7:

That copies of the Fort Wayne “Journal-Gazette” mailed to teachers of St. Marys township containing a marked article headed “Lower Salaries for Our Teachers,” emanating from a liquor interest source is an attack on the integrity, honor and patriotism of the 20,000 men and women who in the last twenty years have been teaching the 1,500,000 youth of our country to resist temptation, and avoid the harmful effects of alcohol on the human body, as outlined in our “State Course of Study” as scientific temperance. We believe that “drink is a destructive force of modern civilization, the mother of want and the nurse of crime.” A greater force of destroying than all physical evils combined, and that our nation is no better than that of England, in which the chief justice says "that if sifted, nine-tenths of the crime of England and Wales could be traced to alcoholic drinking.’Resolved, that in the face of these attacks of evil we desire to express our determination to resist ail efforts, regardless of the salary question, which will lead to individual inefficiency, a national deterioration and a radical decadence. Resolved further, that we send these resolutions to several papers. A. W. GULICK, BEN S. COLTER, BERTHA BUNNER, Committee on
