A hitching rack and a watering trough tor the farmers of this locality who trade in Decatur would do much toward creating that better feeling we all want. There are many inexpensive ways to welcome those who trade here and make them prefer Decatur to any other trading place. The republican party is face to face with a very serious situation. The vote in the house on the reciprocity bill weakened the party considerably, for that showed an actual republican majority against the bill. It was saved by democratic votes. Yet there was a strong republican minority on the right side, and that is something, now the senate has its chance. The bill is earnestly supported by a republican administration, and the administration is supported by the people. Nothing has done so much to weaken the republican party as the belief of many that it is wholly subservient to the interests. That belief will be greatly strengthened by the defeat of the pending bill. Senators should not only reflect on the possibility of an extra session, but they should remember that there is a presidential election to be held next year. Those who are best informed are known to hold the view that failure to pass this bill will insure the election of a democratic president. Certain it is that the people will feel that they have again been betrayed. — Indianapolis News. COSTS BUT A TRIFLE TO CURE CATARRH How many readers of the Daily Democrat know that in Inland Australia where mightiest eucalyptus trees grow in aounaance, that there is no consumption, catarrh or diseases of-the respiratory tract. The refreshing balsam thrown out by these trees fills the air and is breathed into the lungs by the inhabitants and all germ life is destroyed. If you have catarrh you cannot go to Inland Australia except at great expense, but you can breathe right in your own home the same pleasam, soothing, healing, germ-killing air you would breathe if you were living in the eucalyptus district of Australia. Just breathe HYOMEI; it is made from Australian eucalyptus and scientifically combined with thymol and other antiseptics employed in the Listerian system. Pour a few drops of HYOMEI in the inhaler and breathe it. As it passes over the catarrh infected membrane it kills the germs and heals the raw, inflamed surface. HYOMEI is guaranteed to cure catarrh coughs, colds, croup and sore

R. Earl Peters of Auburn, a former employee of this office, and now manager and editor of the Auburn Courier. was in the city Thursday evening for a few hours on business. Mr. Peters was attending the automobile show at Fort Wayne and being so rean here ran down for a short white. Joaquin Miller, known as the Poet of the Sierras, is near death’s door in California and it is feared he will not long survive. Miller was born in Indiana and once lived in the region of Wabash. Many are very familiar with the poems from his pen and he has earned a place for himself- in American literature. Judge J. T. Merryman is too busy with his work at Decatur to render a decision on the plea in abatement filed against the indictment returned by the grand jury against David Wart well and it will not be made public before Saturday of this week. Judge R. K. Erwin, who represents Wartwell will be out of the city for a day or two and he received a telephone message today from Judge Merryman saying he was too busy to come to Fort Wayne and that he would not be ready with his finding before Saturday. He did not announce positively that he had reached a finding or that he would deliver an opinion on Saturday, but it is believed that he will be prepared by that time. —Fort Wayne Sentinel.

Too often the butcher, the baker, the “grocery-store keeper” and other merchants are blamed for shortweight by parents who send their children to the stores, when the trouble can easily be traced to the child itself. Several instances have come to light. The child is given a dime to get cookies. It spends a penny or two for candy and the rest in cookies, or as is often the case, spends the entire amount for what it was sent for, whether Cookies, wieners, bologna or anything else ready for the table, and then eats a part on the way home. When questioned on the shortage the child in many cases, where the parents are very strict, denies having opened the package or eaten anything and the store-keeper is blamed for the shortage. Keep you eye on the “little angels,” as well as the merchants, who in many cases are called names just the opposite and unjustly so.
