According to rumor Frank Ball of the Ball Bros, manufacturers of fruit jars at Muncie, will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for congressman of this district. —Winchester Journal. The Illinois farmer who has acquired a 640 acre corn farm in Ohio, paying $85,050 for the same, has demonstrated that a farmer does not necessarily confine himself to filling the soil, but that he is also capable of mastering a large business proposition as well as solving a social problem. By the deal heretofore mentioned he not only keeps his sons on the farm, but provides for keeping the family together—at least presumably during the lifetime of the parents. A sublime thought is involved in this deal —three superb farms in one, operated jointly and inferentially economically, the family kept together on one section, and a prosperous career assured to all. To people who thus calculate and act, life is not likely ever to prove a failure. South Bend Times. PROOF OF AN ASTONISHING OCCURRENCE. It is Here and Many from a Distance Are Writing. When skeptical people are told of .some astonishing event they will say: “I don’t believe it.” Therefore, it is always desirable to have good proof of an occurrence that is out of the ordinary. Proofs for the “don’t believe it” class are right here, as scores of people of this county have been cured of chronic stomach, liver and kidney troubles, rheumatism and nervous weakness, within the past few months, after taking a few bottles of the wonderful Root Juice medicine. Person after person has called on the local agent to tell of their cure, and many are writing from different parts of the country and telling of wonderful cures Root Juice is making. Mrs. C. H. Davis wrote from Zanesville, Ohio, and said: “I want to say a few words of praise for Root Juice. For over three years I was a great sufferer from stomach troubles. I doctored w’ith some of our best doctors, without relief. They said I had cancer of the stomach; but whatever it was, four bottles of Root Juice has completely cured me.” A remedy that will cure a severe stomach trouble, that was pronounced cancer by some of the best doctors, is certainly a wonder and well deserves the praise of every one. The Root Juice Medicine Compjny, of Fort Wayne, Ind., has hundreds of testimonials from people whose word cannot be doubted, but local testimonials are so numerous that any one will be convinced by calling at the Holthouse drug store. o MUZZLE THE DOGS. In compliance with an ordinance passed by the city council it is ordered that all dogs shall be muzzled if they run at large. All dogr, running the streets without a muzzle will be shot by the marshal. 131-6 t C. O. France, Mayor.

FRIENDS WORRIED t Trustee Daniel Huffman 11l at His Preble Tawn- > ship Home J > ’SEPTIC POISON I To Stop the Growth a Toe Was Amputated Yesterday r - Friends of Daniel Huffman, trustee ‘ wf Preble township, are worried over his present state of health. A week ago a septic condition of the blood made its apearance in the fourth toe, and part of that member was amputated in the hopes of stopping this poisoning growth. The amputation apparently failed and yesterday a consultation was held. Dr. J. C. Grandstaff, the attending physician. Dr. J. S. Boyers of this city and Dr. Smith of Hoagland participating in the consultation. They removed the remainder of the toe, but have small hopes that this will remedy and stop the poisonous growth. The first development of this septic condition appeared more than a year ago and at that time a toe was amputated. Nothing further developed until one week ago, and now it seems that his blood may have become contaminated and poisoned. Everything known to medical science is being done to bring back the health of Mr. Huffman, and the hope is expressed by every one that his rugged constiution will be strong enough to throw off the poison, and that he will soon be fully recovered. IT IS LIFE OR DEATH Miss Gusta Cramer Submits to Surgical Operation AT HER HOME w This Afternoon—Effort is Made to Prolong Her Life A continued and serious illness of months and years from complications which at times threatened to take her life, has made it necessary for Miss Gusta Cramer to undergo another operation in hopes of gaining relief from an ailment which has caused her much pain and suffering. This afternoon Drs. C. S. and D. D. Clark and J. M. Miller performed the operation at the home of the afflicted woman subsequent to the wish of Miss Gusta, and but a few days at the most will determine whether life or death will attend the effort of the physicians. Miss Cramer has suffered greatly and long, she has borne it patiently, but realizing that unless something be done hastily she would meet inevitable and early death, she requested that the operation be performed. The physicians are not as yet able to disclose information as to her chances for recovery, nor will they be for several days, but it is hoped by every Decatur citizen that the afflicted woman will speedily recover. ■ o • FOR SALE —My fine mahogany piano I cost $450.00 at a sacrifice.

HIGHEST PRAISE Is Given Dr. J. C. White Who Lectured at Siloam. Missouri, Sunday TO THE GRADUATES I Paper from There Speaks in the Highest Terms of the Pastor The Siloam Daily Free Press, printed at Siloam, Arkansas, contained the following account concerning addresses delivered at that place byRev. J. C. White, former pastor of the Methodist church here: Commencement Sunday fulfilled all expectations. The day was one of the most beautiful of the season. The addresses of our orator-friend, Dr. John C. White, of Logansport, Ind., received the highest degree of praise. The sermon in the morning was more directly to the graduates and was based on the unique text in Eccle. 10:10. It contained encouragement for the graduates and inspiration for all. The speaker became eloquent at times and the attention given him jjuring the hour showed that the congregation followed him closely. The closing words spoken were very beautiful and he had his audience completely captivated by his bursts of oratory. Again at night Dr. White spoke to a large audience, giving the educational address proper. His theme was “Courage,” and he showed the place of that virtue in its higher Christian relations. Siloam Springs people will not soon forget the good providence which brought Dr. White from his busy Indiana pastorate to spend this Sunday with us. CASE HAS BEGUN Holthouse-Poling Litigation Began in Jay County Court THIS MORNING Holthouse Files Scathing Reply to Plaintiff’s Complaint Attorneys Peterson & Moran and Peter Holthouse have gone to Portland, where today the law suit in which the latter is the defendant, began and the litigation will occupy three days' time in the Jay circuit court It is thought that by Saturday the controversy between H>ichouse and Poling will be permanency settled. As will be remembered by Democrat readers. Holthouse and Poling constituted a business firm at Redkey and did business for several years. Poling, sometime ago instituted legal proceedings against Holthouse for the collection of a note. Mr. Holthouse immediately filed a cross complaint in which he alleged that Poling who was managing the store, misappropriated funds belonging to the firm. He specifically charged that Poling issued firm checks to liquidate his personal accounts and the case then assumed quite a different aspect. Several weeks ago tne case was due for trial, but on account of the issue not being made up it was deferred until the present time. Peterson & Moran of this city and Peterson & Smith of Portland, represent Holthouse and the battle wil’ be a bitterly fought one. The out- * come of the trial will involve the pay* , ment of a neat sum of money and | consequently the results will be eagerly watched by Decatur people.
