President Taft is getting his —a real lovely gentle roast from the democrats and a few of the insurgents in congress. He is getting it because he is openly opposing the selection made by the minority as representatives on the Ballinger-Pinchot committee. President Taft has succeeded in adding color to the declaration that the whole investigation is to be handled with a whitewash brush. HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.

The last of the debt on the one hundred dollars which this organization took upon itself for the parsonage fund, was paid yesterday, and the report revealed a balance standing to the credit of the society, which they consider is an excellent reward for their work.

THE SECOND SALE Big Crowd Here to Attend the Aucton of the Decatur Horse Sale Co. MANY BUYERS HERE Two Hundred Fifty Head of Horses Were Disposed of Under Hammer. The second sale of the Decatur Horse Sale company was pulled off today, and as usual there was present a large crowd of buyers. The morning trains brought the people in from every direction, and there Were dealers and buyers from the east and west. The sale was a little late in getting started and it was after 10 o’clock when "Mac” called all ready, and after a short argument knocked one down to the high bidder. The sale was an average one, the high prices continuing to make the sale drag a little, as it’s impossible to have a lively auction when the horses have to bring more than they are worth. The members of the company are built of the right stuff, however, and they are going to make this the best market place in the country, in fact it is excelled right now by but few cities. Two hundred and fifty head were offered today and the clean-up was a good one. The sales will continue until June, being held every two weeks on Friday. The eating houses, hotels and restaurants had the usual run of business today, the horsemen causing them to hustle at the meal hours. - ■ o NOTICE TO FARMERS. You should all insure your horses aid help each other. Some one will lose a horse this summer. I recommend you to the Farmers* Mutual Live Stock association at Ossian; not the old one, but new one. I had my horses insured. I just received my money for my mare that died. And will write insurance for them. It 6 J. P.
