SAME BRAND OF TARIFF EXPERTS In many campaigns the Democrats have done their best to make the people understand that the high tariff laws, such as the McKinley law and the Dingley law, were framed and their passage forced by the agents of the trusts and other big protected interests, working through the Republican party. And now comes Senator Dolliver of lowa, himself a Republican, and admits this in a speech in the senate. He speaks sarcastically of these trust agents as a “tariff commission.” Here is the way he puts it' “I say to you that we have a tariff commission now; that we have had a tariff commission in the United States for the last twenty years. They are experts, though they have never been appointed by any public authority. They are volunteers, aiding congress in its difficult and strenuous work. They wrote, according to the testimony of Governor Dingley, the iron and steel schedule. They have written, according to the testimony of Governor Dingley in a letter which I had the opportunity to read in the senate chamber a few weeks ago, the cotton schedule. For forty-two years they have met regularly before every congress, charged with the duty of revising the tariff. So if we imagine that we have no tariff commission we are mistaken. The trouble is our tariff commission represents no public responsibility, and in these latter years, to my judgment, it has become the mere interpreter of the greed and ( avarice of a few men, without regard to the needs of the industries, are pushing the duties upward for purposes of their own.’ l Senator Dolliver went on to say that the new Payne-Aldrich bill was made by the same brand of tariff "experts” j and In the interest of the same pro- , tected interests.

Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, I writes: “Last year I suffered for three| months with a summer cold so distressing that it interferred with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor s prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed only to aggravate It.

Smith & Ullman with their beauty herd of show Herefords ought really to be ashamed of themselves. They showed them at the Henry county fair at Newcastle this week and cleaned the platter, getting eight first premiums and six seconds. This is their first try out too, and it but shows that they have some of the

finest, and when it comes to showing Herefords everybody else wants to go away back and sit down. The same herd will be at the Deleware county fair next week, and then comes the Great Northern Indiana exhibit, and certainly every one, whether interested in good stock or not, ought to get acquainted with these enterprising Adams county gentlemen and their herd of finely bred Herefords. They should be appreciated at home at least, and as they have never undertaken to advertise themselves in any way, there is not many people : lin the county that really knows that I Messrs. Smith and Ullman are engaged in the raising of such fine stock. The herd is a beauty, there being twenty-five of the most handsome cattle one would care to see, and you will miss the most interesting sight at the Great Northern, if you fail to see this herd of Herefords.

PLAY HERE SUNDAY Geneva Ball Club t Will Battle Locals for Honors ON BALL FIELD Will Be the First Game in New Bi-County League The opening game in the newly organized Bi-County League will be played at Stele's park tomorrow afternoon with the Geneva team as opponents to the local Shamrocks. That the game will be very interesting is evidenced by the fact that the clubs played fifteen innings on a former ocasion before a decision could be made as to the victors. Geneva will come with her lineup greatly strengthened and with the expectation of carrying off the laurels, but the Shamrocks think not, they will not stand for any such thing without first putting up a game fight. Without doubt there will be a record breaking crowd out tomorrow to witness the exhibition. The local lineup will be as follows: Pennington, catcher! Robison, pitcher; Stevens, second base; Ellis, short stop; Coffee, third base; Geary, left field; McMillen, center field; Buffenbarger, right field; Johns and Geary subs. Only Sunday games will be played in the Bi-County League, but the boys expect to have good turn outs each Sunday.

OBITUARY. Samuel Dolpheus Beavers was born June 18, 1832, in Rappahannock Co., Virginia, and at the time of hie demise Wednesday morning. August 11, 1909, was 77 years, 1 month and 23 days of age. Moving from Virginia with bis parents to Hocking county, Ohio, when fourteen years old, he there grew qo manhood where he taught school for some time and in the year 1856 he was married to Miss Lydia Weldy, also of Ohio. On April 14, 1863, they, with their four eldest children, came to Indiana, settling on a farm in Kirkland township, where they together endured all the hardships and toil incident to life in a new country. The deceased was the father of twelve children six of whom, with the faithful wife, have preceded him to eternity; the latter departing this life about one year ago. The surviving children are: Seth D., Emerson A., Alpheus J., Middleton, Mrs .Ethel Zimmerman and Mrs. Rachel Buckmaster. There are surviving also eighteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. When a very young man Mr. Beavers was converted to God and united with the Methodist Episcopal church; when he removed to this state, there

being no church of this denomination in his neighborhood, he became a member of the “Brethren in Christ" where he has been a most faithful attendant and church worker all the remaining days of his life, having served as a church officer the greater part of his time. All the church services were a delight to him, but especially did he enjoy the Sabbath school and was never absent therefrom unless detained unavoidably. His example was a constant inspiration to his family and friends and he will be sadly missed in the community as well as the home. Being naturally of a cheerful, sunny temperament, he always looked upon life's brightest side and many can testify to his cordial greetings and whole-souled hospitality. Upon all occasions he was ready with a pleasant reminiscence or bit of humor, though not unmindful of the serious side of life. He lived for his home and family and was never happier than when in the midst of the little children in whom he found great delight. Ever since the passing of the wife with whom he journeyed for more than fifty years he has frequently expressed himself as perfectly willing and ready to receive his call and follow her to the life beyond,

i and we feel assured that today he is at rest. May we all be as faithful ' and emulate ms many good qualities and some day meet him around the great white throne. d Daisy Fly Killers 8 cents, 2 for 15c at Racket Store. 192-2 t 1 I 5 Are You Satisfied?
