You are foolish to spend your money, going to a summer resort, when you can shiver right here in Decatur, and you won’t have to hire a guide to show you where to do it. This week is a critical one for the Old Home Week. If it lives over this, it will grow and become the biggest amusement event ever given here. If it doesn’t—well, it won’t be so big. The Bull Moose convention is on at Chicago this week. It lias been planned out completely by Colonel Roosevelt, who will be named for president Wednesday. The only part that has not been given out, is the name of the vice presidential candidate. The campaign in Indiana will open August 29th at Anderson, when S. M. Ralston, the nominee for governor on tiie democratic ticket, will make his keynote speech. The campaign in Adams county will open the first week in September when speeches will be made in every township iu the county, including one in this city. The Indiana republicans will hold, their convention at Indianapolis tomorrow. A fight for the governorship nomination is on with Lew Shank, backed by Marion county, and the rest of the state trying to defeat him. Hugh Th. Miller is the desire of the greater number, but he is not anxious .or the honor. If he refuses, Colonel George T. Lockwood of Marion will get into the race. Hob Tucker, Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, in his Sunday article, thus sized up the situation: "In the discussion of the present situation in this state nine out of ten men will say that there is no doubt but that Wilson and Marshall w ! H have a big majority in Indiana and that Samuel Ralston will be elected governor. The speculation then is as to which I art- will run second, the bull moose or the republicans. On the boards at the Denison house nearly $15,000 was posted last week that the democrats will have a walk-away in Indiana. One bet of $5,000 to $4,000 was offered that Governor Wilson will carry the state, The same odds are posted on Ralston It is safe to predict that this money will go begging. The betting among the men who understand the game will be on the outcome of the battle for second place. They know that as matters stand the democrats have first place sewed up, and that getting bets on the democratic side is just like tak- . z ing money from a child." •W I WWUIIW— —P—» A campaign fund contributed wholly by the people, and untainted by a single dollar of contribution from illegal trusts and monopolies! , This is the watchword of Hon. Jas. T. Ixryd, chairman of the national democratic congressional committee in starting in to raise a campaign fund to carry on necessary organiza-

tion, ana education"’ work looking toward the election of democrats to congress this fall. The work of the committee in the 1910 campaign was something enormous. Every democratic candidate for congress in the United States was given valuable assistance, and millions upon millions of speeches, campaign books, etc., were distributed, increasing the number of democratic workers everywhere and creating a vast amount of democratic sentiment. The result was the election of a house of representatives democratic by a majority of 65. This committee is confronted with an even more important campaign, and is today wholly without funds as a result of its refusal to accept "easy” money from the special interests which would be in a position to expect legislative favors should their i contributions be accepted for cam- ’ paign purposes. Every reader of this article can help I the cause of democracy and good govi eminent by making a contribution now 1 while the committee is badly in need 10l funds. Whether your contribution 'is large or small, it will be useful. I Checks or currency should be sent dii rect to James T. Lloyd, chairman, or | H. D. Flood, treasurer of the national d mocratic congressional committee. Washington, D. C. Contributions made earliest will do the most good.

The doctors | worked with th- man but they were I too late as the joison had had ampl" ! opportunity to get into the system be-! lore their arrival. His death was ' tragic in the extreme, the poison hav-j ing the effect of causing great rigid-1 ness and being a powerful heart stim- . ulant caused great activity. It was learned during the inquest > that Major had secured poiscn over a month ago and had carried it in his, ) ocket for that length of time. When asked why he carried it by an em-1 ployee he replied that he intended to | kill rats with it. That the suicide I was premeditated there is no doubt, 1 Major being on the lookout for a good : time to take it. Lfter the first convulsion before the '■ physicians had arrived he regained consciousness and his wife asked him ! if he were not sorry that he took the I drug. He replied. “Yes, I’m soriy j now. I wish I had’nt taken it. Bur it is too late —I’m going to die. He j had taken the drug about seven or a ■ little later and died at nine o’clock ' while under the care of the doctors. Major was thirty years, nine months , and seventeen days old at the time of his death, being born on November ! sixteenth. 1881, at his father’s farm j about a mile south of Wren. Mr. , John E.

Fire At Winona CONTIUOKL FROM PA GF ONE cottages were for a time endangered, but only for the fact there was no wind, but a dead calm and a heavy dew on the roofs and grass, no doubt saved many cottages and “Evangel Hall.” The fire was only seventy-five feet from my nearest cottage, but bykeeping the roof and building wet, we got through with the blistering of the paint on one side and one end. While there was no wind, the embers and pieces of shingles were carried to “Boys’ City,” a mile away. Mrs. Dugan ar 1 daughters, Dorothy and Helen, anti Mrs. Tyndall and son, Ralph, were early on the scene to see the fire. Mr. John W. Tyndall was here, but said he would not leave his room at the “Inn" until the walls got hot. JAS. N. FRISTOE. TIDDY AT CHICAGO < r>-.tinned from Page I) glimpse of him. A crowd filled Michigan avenue as his machine pulled up in front of the Congress hotel.

A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as important as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring.. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neglect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspicuous and suggestive of age than wrinkles or a poor complexion Os the two, it is easier to preserve the natural color and beauty of the hair than it is to have a good complexion Ail that is necessary is the occasional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphui Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, < cmbined with other valuable remedies for dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. After a few applications of this simpie, harmless remedy, your hair will gradually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no longer come out but will start to grow as nature intended it should. Don’t neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug stoi c for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using it. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the difference it will make in your appearance. m-w-f ATTENTION, SICK PEOPLE!
