THIS SUSPENSE I IS SOMETHING AWFUL j Last fall, before the election, the solemn assurance was given by the Republican party and its corporate supporters that the success of Bryan meant a continued business depression while the election of Taft would i cause an instantaneous revival. A good many persons who ought to have known better allowed themselves to be deceived by this ‘'argument." Taft was elected and the Republican con- jI trol of congress was not disturbed. But where was that ‘‘instantaneous revival?” And where is it now? Such i activity as there is would be with us . If Bryan had been elected. There < might even be more of it. Conditions! could not have been worse, at least, I Between December and March con-1 ( gress, with a tremendous deficit star-; ing it in the face, proceeded to spend more money than ever before. And I now a special session is fixing up aj new tariff law, framing it to suit the ! 1 special interests and not to benefit the 1 people or to improve general business J1 by removing unnecessary handicaps. I j So, therefore, what is the trouble? it Why have we not had some sort of al’ revival even if w r e coul dnot have had I ’ the “instantaneous^ - kind? When 1 are w r e going to get it? If any one , knows it is time for him to speak up. ;

The Republican governor of Kentucky pardoned all of the men indicted for alleged participation in the assassination of Governor Goebel except Youtsey, who turned state's evidence. For that sin Yeutsey stays in prison. And yet, with all of these pardons, it will not be forgotten that Governor Goebel was murdered and that he is still dead. No pardon restores his life or wipes out the crime which took it. SAYS HE REALLY MEANS IT South Bend Prosecutor Wants the Governor to Testify. South Bend, Ind., April 30. —That Prosecutor Cyrus E. Patee has not abandoned his intention to have Governor Marshall appear before the cir- , cult court grand jury to testify to .what he knows about alleged violations of the law in regard to prize fighting in South Bend, was learned today. “I am sincere in the position I have taken in subpoenaing Governor Marshall,” said Mr. Pattee, “and this action was taken because of the letter he wrote me in which he said that repeated complaints had come to him 'of prize fighting in South Bend. Governor Marshall was not subpenaed on the strength of the newspaper clipping he inclosed in his letter, but because he said repeated complaints had been made to him. The inference to be drawn from this statement is that he has information aside from the newspaper clipping. Ido not consider articles in a newspaper a complaint, and in fact take no cognizance officially of them.” BLEW DOWN PRISON WALL Considerable Damage Done to the Michigan City Prison. South Bend, Ind., April 30. —Six hundred feet of the west wall of the Michigan City prison was blown down by a cyclone which swept northern Indiana at 7:15 o’clock last night All the prisoners w’ere in their cells and an outbreak was prevented by Warden Reid’s placing armed patrols [ in the corridors, with orders to shoot any who attempted to escape. Company F. Indiana National Guard, stationed here, has been ordered to Michigan City by Governor Marshall.

Mr. and Mrs. Glen Warner and Miss Mathilda Sellemeyer, teachers, will be present, and several others who have completed that course of instruction will attend as alumni. The entertainment given last night by the Pocahontas lodge for the piano fund was a success in every way. There was a large company present to hear the excellent program. Miss Alma McCormick, of Fort Wayne, pleased her audience. The program throughout was very good and the ladies wish to express their thanks in this way to those who took part. At nine-thirty a recess was taken in order that the Fort Wayne people present might return. The planting of the rose and the giving away of the spade will be an important and impressive ceremony of commencement week. The spade was presented to the seniors by last year's graduating class when they planted ivy at the school building. It has been the duty of the seniors to see that the ivy grew for it is to be trained to grow on the walls, and make the building look old and classic. The planting of the rose has been originated by this class, and the duties connected with this planting will be passed on the juniors.

HE GOT OFF AGAIN John Kule Arrested and Will Be Taken to Richmond Tomorrow Morning TO INSANE ASYLUM Got Drunk Today and the Old Illusion of a Fortune Returned to Him John Kule, the ditcher, who has for some time imagined that he had a fortune in the bank here, will be taken to the East Haven asylum tomorrow morning. It will be remembered that he was arrested about a month ago after he had caused a disturbance at the Old Adams County bank. He was declared insane, and admission granted him at the asylum, but he Instituted habeas corpus proceedings and was released. He disappeared I for two weeks, but came back yesterday and immediately “tanked up” and the old illusion returned to him. At noon he was causing a scene on the Murray corner, when he was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ed Green, The matter was reported to Clerk Haeftng, who called up Dr. Smith at Richmond. Though the time for his admission had expired the doctor said he would admit him, and he will be taken to that place tomorrow morning. The fellow is undoubtedly crazy and should be taken care st- before he causes some serious injury to some one.

THE DRYS WON OUT Kosciusko Voted Against Saloons With 2,000 Votes to Spare STARKE IN DOUBT But Probably Went Dry— Four Elections Are Being Held Today Warsaw, Ind., April 30. —Kosciusko county yesterday voted to join the option roll of Indiana by an overwhelming majority. Figures at hand at this time indicate the majority is between 1,800 and 2,000. Thirty-one precincts out of forty-three in the county which had reported prior to the electrical and wind storm last night give a majority of 1,853 for the option side of the issue. Telegraph and telephone lines went down in the storm, delaying returns. The city of Warsaw gave the "drys” a majority of 343. Election day was a holiday in Warsaw and Kosciusko county, and business was at a standstill. With the exception of a little squall within the ranks of the “dry” forces because some of the "drys” wished to prevent Joseph Foote, a “wet” from voting on the theory that he is legally a prisoner and w’as under conviction for a felony, the day passed quietly. Joseph Foote voted. There was no protest, owing to the fact that the “dry” leaders refused to take up that issue. Foote has appealed his case ■of assault on Officer Charles Douglass and has not been committeed to jail.

The wind storm so wrecked the wires last night that it has been impossible to secure an accurate report from Starke county. The first five precincts in gave a ‘‘wet’’ majority of 151, but this was expected by the “drys” who claim that the total will show a victory for their side by from 500 to 800. Today four elections are on, Washington and Jefferson counties are safely dry, while Martin and Tippecanoe are claimed by the wets, the fight in the latter, where Lafayette is located, having been one of the hardest in the state. MAY VOTE IN SEPTEMBER Bluffton, April 30. —Arrangements are being made by the temperance people of Bluffton for the holding of a local option election here some time in September. Although the county is already dry by remonstrance there are one or two townships in which remonstrances will run out within a short time and in order to keep from going to the trouble of filing more remonstrances the election will probably be petitioned for. o NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING.

It is indeed fortunate that no lives were lost or injuries inflicted.

THE DOCTOR'S QUESTION Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics. A doctor’s first question when consulted by a patient is, “are your bowels regular?” He knows that ninetyeight per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with noxious gases and waste matter which naturally accumulates and which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored. Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intestinal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated use of such treatments cause chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels, hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about au injurious habit which sometimes has fatal results. We have a positive, pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders in general. We are so certain of its great curative value that we promise to return the purchaser’s money in every case when it fails to produce entire satisfaction. This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies. We urge you to try them at our entire risk. i

Rexall Orderlies are very pleasant to take, they act quietly and have a soothing, strengthening, healing influence op the entire intestinal tract They do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatulence, excessive looseness, diarrhoea or other annoying effects and they may be taken at any time without any inconvenience. Rexall Orderlies overcome the drugging habit and cure constipation and all similar ailments, whether acute or chronic. They are especially good for children, weak persons or old folks.
