It has been said wisely or otherwise, that a miss Is as good as a thousand miles, so perhaps Dr. Cook will still have a chance to secure some glory. Election frauds seem to have been very popular all over the land, and investigations now in progress threaten to show up the facts that no less persons than Speaker Cannon and Senator Lodge have been connected therewith ,to considerable extent. Judge Blair seems to have started something when he began that little still hunt for the buyers and sellers of votes in Adams county, Ohio. The contagion has spread to Illinois, to Maine and to other states of the east and west and those between. It s a shaking up that will do no harm and if it purifies the ballot box a little, it will mark a long step forward, for which the Ohio judge should receive his full share of thanks.

It carries an emergency clause, meaning that it will become a law with the governor's signature. The effect will be that saloons will be permlssable In all cities, unless voted out by elections in these places, or in towns or townships until a vote Is taken of the 'own and township together, or the township. To hold an election a petition signed by twenty per cent of the voters must be filed with the board of commissioners. A hot fight Is expected in the legislature on the Fleming bill, which has to do with the regulating of the saloons. NOTICE iv CREDITORS State of Indiana, Adams county.

A double surprise party, the honored ones being Mrs. Will Parent, whose birthday anniversary was last week, and Mrs. Charles Pennington, whose birthday was Tuesday, was one of last evening’s pleasant events.

ent and Pennington’s friends rushed into the theater. The aid of Mr. Pennington had been enlisted in carrying out the surprise on his wife and he had taken her to the theater, being there Just at the critical time. Both of the celebrants were surprised indeed, the surprise being one of the most complete ever carried out. A social time was enjoyed, and as the surprisers brought with them a luncheon, even including hot coffee, the affair, though given in a most unconventional place, did not lack the luxuries of the home. The friends of the two ladies presented them each with a handsome collar, which will be delightful mementoes of the happy time. Mrs. C. M.

Inflammatory Rheumatism IMMEDIATELY RELIEVED Morton L. Hill of Lebanon, Ind., says: “My wife had inflammatory rheumatism in every muscle and joint, her suffering was terrible and her body and face were swollen almost beyond recognition; had been in bed six weeks and had eight physicians, but received no benefit until she tried Dr. Detchon's Relief For Rheumatism. It gave immediater relief and she was able to walk about in three days. I am sure it saved her life. Sold by the Holthouse Drug Co. wed&sat-3mo.
