The democratic state convention to be held in Indianapolis on Wednesday and Thursday of next week promises to be the biggest ana most enthusiastic of any similar gathering in a generation. The first session will be on Wednesday evening. Governor Marshall, who is to be the temporary chairman, will be introduced by State Chairman Jackson and will preside at this meeting and make a speech. On the following morning at 9 o'clock the next session will be held. At this meeting Senator Shively will be Introduced by Governor Marshall as permanent chairman, and will make a speech. Afterward the com-, mittee on resolutions will report and the nomination of candidates will be made. There is a long list of candidates for the various nominations to be made, and there is an earnest, but good natured, rivalry. A feeling that a nomination is practically equivalent to an election is widespread, and because of this fact the delegates will undoubtedly exercise a wise judgment in choosing candidates. It can make no mistake, however, since there are so many capable men seeking places

on the ticket With a well-balanced ’ ticket and a thoroughly democratic t platform there should be no doubt whatever about the result of the election. i A dispatch from Washington says ' that an effort is being made to have 1 . Beveridge as the republican leader of j • ! the senate next year. Perhaps the ■ announcement is a little premature. It wouldn't look well to put him in so responsible a place if he would only have until March to serve.

MOVED LARGE BARN Miniature Cyclone Strikes William Heller Bam in French Township. MOVED TEN INCHES Off Stone Base—Resembled Cloud of Coal Smoke Fifty Feet High. Visitors in the city today from French township tell of some unusual capers cut by a miniature cyclone, which ran loose in that vicinity during a rain and windstorm for several minutes last Saturday evening about 5 o’clock. The cyclone was seen onlyover a small area near the Isch farm. It assumed visible features and is said to have resembled a cloud of coal smoke, about fifty or sixty feet high, and a half mile long sweeping near the ground for a short distance, it finally broke and disappeared. During the course of its sweep it struck the William Heller barn, just east of the Isch farm, and moved the south end of that solid structure about ten inches off the stone base, though no other damage was done. Reports are that two barns east of there were unroofed on the same evening, but nothing definite concerning that could be learned. PHYSICAL DECLINECHECKED At the rate of three and one-third per day in Adams county JuHng the past ninety days. Never was such a record known before. From the first day 49 General Tonic was placed on the market there has been an average of three and one-third bottles sold per day, and it is increasing every day. You hear praises coming from everyone using 49 General Tonic, of the good it has done them. Some are buying in 85.00 lots. One of Decatur’s citizens, who has used 49 for three weeks, says: “I have not seen a well day for three years until I began to use 49 General Tonic. Nothing that I could eat would do me any good. My stomach, liver and kidneys always bothered me, which has reduced my flesh twenty pounds, and now after using 49 only three weeks, I am regaining my flesh one pound per week and X can eat anything I crave and digest It My constipation has entirely left me. 49 has done more for me that all the treatment I have ever taken.” The above is not an imaginary testimonial, but true. We hold our offer of 1100 to ahy one if we can not prove our testimonials to be true. This lady bought |5.00 worth of 49 Tonic oeday, April 18th.
