: CASE ENDS QUICKLY ■I The Baxter Dray Case Which Caused so Much Interest Was Decided IN CIRCUIT COURT Statement of Facts Submitted and Judge Holds Defendants Not Guilty i That war of the draymen and team stere which caused so much strife a month or so ago, when Andrew ami Charles Baxter ami a young man named Hill were arrested for violating the city ordinance and convicted after trials, was ended suddenly this morning when the. cases of Andrew Baxter and his son. which had been appealed to the Adams circuit court reached Judge Merryman. Attorney David E. Smith representing the defendants submitted to the court a written statement of facts, setting up what the ordinance contained and the acts done by the defendants, whereupon Judge Merryman at once de- ' dared them not guilty. The ordin I ance provides that whoever keeps or maintains a dray line, using any kind of a vehicle for that purpose must pay a license to the city. The Baxters had a contract with J. D. Hale to haul some coal from the railroads for him and thus work out their coal bill. They did not do any other dray 1 work, not even their own. but the ' mayor construed the ordinance to I cover their case and so found the 'men guilty. The decision of Judge Merryman no doubt clearly establishes a precedent in such cases and makes the ordinance all right, so far as this class is concerned, and it is likely that this will end the matter. — o 1 "• ■ 1 ALL ‘IS ARRANGED (Continued from cage 1.)

'IFOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ECONOMY The candidates on the Democratic ticket and who are asking for the suffrages of the voters at the munici. pay election to be held Tuesday, November 2, met last evening at the offices of Erwin & Erwin, formulated and signed a platform of principles ' embracing a few of the things lor which they stand in this campaign. Their platform follows: Believing that the voters and the ’ citizens of the city o( Decatur are desirous of knowing what the political parties and the candidates nominated by them stand for, and on which they ask the suffrage of the voters, the Democratic party by aud through the candidates nominated do hereby declare and pledge a strict enforcement of all the laws, state, corporate and blind tiger. We believe in an honest and economical administration of the munici ipal government, and do hereby pledge ourselves to so administer the affaire of the city so as to make the expenses the least possible burden on the people. And in order that the people may know at all times the exact financial condition of the city, we pledge a full and complete report at the expiration of each six months, the report to show a detailed account ot tne receipts and disbursements of each and every fund and of all monies received and disbursed during that period, and that there shall be a publication of the same. As the assessment of taxes is an essential element in the progress of all municipalities, be believe that under a continuance of a Democratic administration the city debt and tax levy will continue to be materially reduced, and we hereby pledge our best efforts to that end. The party being one of progress believes that improvements should be made when needed. It stands at all times for civic pride and the beautifying of the city. But in the expenditures of monies good judgment should be used and the candidates nominated pledge only judicious improvement, and in all public work that labor should be paid a fair wage. H. L.

A woman who is sick and suffering, and won’t at least try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, is to blame for her own wretched condition. There are literally hundreds of thousands of women in the United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, which was produced from roots and herbs over thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman’s suffering. Read what these women say: Camden, N. J. — “ It is with pleasure that I send my testimonial for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, hoping it may induce other suffering women to avail themselves of ttie benefit of this valuable remedy. I suffered from pains in my back and side, sick headaches, no appetite, was tired and nervous all the time, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound made me a well woman -and this valuable medicine shall always have my praise.” —Mrs. W. P. Valentine, ©O2 Lincoln Ave., Camden, N. J. Erie, Pa.— “ I suffered for five years from female troubles, and at last was almost helpless. I tried three doctors but they did me no good. My sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, ami it lias made me well and strong. 1 hope all suffering women will just give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial, for it is worth its weight in gold.” —Mrs. J. I’. Endlich, K. F. D. 7, Erie, Pa. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we publish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering from the same trouble. For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for /A /iW female ills. No sick woman does justice to (<// r herself who will not try this famous medicine. 7/ w-x Ir Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and '[ 17 Vl| has thousands of cures to its credit. II Y h If the slightest trouble appears which fn\ /J you do not understand, write to Mrs. \\l\s Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for her advice —it is free aud always helpful. x
