Entered at the postot'fice in Decatur, Indiana, as sceond class mall. Governor Wilson spoke briefly at Ridgeville, Union City, Hartford City, Logansport and other places in Indiana Monday. He treated Beveridges statement that he was controlled by the bosses as a joke and said that he had never before classed Beveridge as one of the great humorists of the day. Beveridge is going over the state screaming about the conditions in Indiana in a manner that makes him ridiculous, and he is already being laughed at by those who think. The man who objects to registering because he thinks the law bad should investigate the matter. He will iind that in many parts of Indiana such a law is absolutely necessary if we i would purify the ballot, and it is ini- 1 possible to have a law except one that pertains to every part of the state. Two other registration laws were held bad by the supreme court because they did not take in the en- | tire state. In parts of Indiana the illegal vote has been so bold that it was talked from one end of the nation to the other and it is to stop this that the registration law was passed. The law will do much good and while It may need some modifications and changes, it will stand while we have a state. There is, therefore, nothing for you to do but to register, or make u.> your mind that you will disfranchise yourself. A man who does not vote or take part in the other events of his community is but little part of it and you cannot afford to be one of them. Register on October 7th. It's your last chance. The State Department of Public Instruction in Indiana under the direction of Supt. Greathouse has r.ev:r done more effective work than it is doing at present. The high standard set by Robert J. Aley has been maintained throughout. Mr. Bunnell and Mr. Hoffman worked with Dr. Aley for a year and a half, and are throughly competent and familiar with his policy. The business as well as the educational ability of Supt. Greathouse has been recognized everywhere. Miss Adelaide S. Bailor formerly Supt. of Wabash schools has been added to the office force and placed in charge of the manuscript department. There was no address given at the National Educational Assn, that attracted more attention than that of Miss Bailor. No one was ac- • oidc-d closer attention. Mr. Bunnell and Mr Hoffman will continue in their usual positions as assistant and deputy. The department is really progressive and always working for better schools in all that the term means.

RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAM, To the Officers and Comrades of Sam Henry Post, No. 63, G. A. R.: Your committee on resolutions of condolence in the memory of our deceased cmrtde, Robert E. Smith, respectfully submit the following It is with sadness that we record the death of our comrade who departed this life the 13th Inst., and that we, his comrades know him to have been so noble, good and true, that our faith leads us to believe that he . has gone to join the Grand Army of the Redeemed in the Eternal Sunlight. I Our comrade was a member of Com- | pany F, 147th Indiana infantry, enlisting at Decatur, Indiana, January 23, 1 1-565. He was mustered out August 4, 1865. While his service was not long, his regiment was sent to Harper’s Ferry. Va., and participated in sevI eral hard battles during the closing ' months of the war. Therefore, be it Resolved, That in the death of Comrade Smith, this post mourns the loss of a comrade, esteemed by all, the country a brave defender and the community an honorable citizen. And further, we as a post, tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved 1 family ia their sorrow. Resolved, That our post colors be draped in mourning for thirty days in memory of our deceased comrade and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, recorded in our post records and a copy : be furnished each of our daily papers with request of publication. Respectfully submitted, J. D. HALE. EZRA CUTTING. WM. WETTER. THE DATE IS FIXED Young Will be Here Next Saturday—All Arrangements Made. NO DOUBT OF IT I Will Make Headquarters at | Holthouse Drug Store Stacks of Proof. j _ All arrangements have been made for Young's coming. He has promised to be here bright and early next Saturday morning. He will make his '..eadquarters during the day at the Holtnouse drug store, and has promised to bring stacks of proofs which ' will be sufficient to convince the. must skeptical person that Harshone ; root and herbs is the best medicine on earth for those who are suffering I with stomach, liver, kidney and bowel| troubles. Young said: ‘‘lf you are' sick and want real health you must' take real medicine which has the! power to remove the cause and give nature a chance-.- Alcohol stimulants, opiates and other harmful drugs never cure, but they always do harm. Nature has supplied humanity with hundreds of roots, herbs, barks and gums which are non-poisonous, but which' contain excellent health-producing i qualities, and when these simple rem- j edies of nature are properly selected, i properly proportioned and properly taken good results can be expected in 1 »vs y case Old Doctor Harsh, many years ago, believed that every forest contained s'mple remedies for our every ailment, and upon that theory he untiringly experimented until he was confluent that he had selected the very best remedies which nature's laboratory afforded. The discoveries of the old doctor proved a great help to other men of science in formulating the Harshone root and herb medicine which, I am honestly convinced, is doing more real good for the sick of this country than all other medicines on the market.” Now, as Young is coming, and as ' I he seems to be able to prove ail he 1 says, a large crowd will, undoubted i ly, greet him at the drug store when I he comes, and every afflicted person 1 of this city will have an opportunity to test the merits of Harshone roots and herbs.

RIG SMASHED UP Horse and Rig Belonging to ’ Rowand Stiverson Rambled Away Last Night. SMASHED THE RIG Horse is Uninjured—No One in Rig at Time—All Over Tracks. Rowand Stiverson, who lives near Pleasant Mills, was surprised Monday night shortly after the show when he made his way to 'he hitch rack near the Everett & Hite store to find the bridle belonging to his harness hanging limply to the wire and the horse and rig gone. He reported the loss to Policeman Melchi, who immediately set up a search for the outfit. Soon after coming up town on Court street they found the three-year-old horse rambling around. The harness was almost gone and not till morning did they locate the rig. The horse had gone south and getting on the Erie tracks had gone up and down the track, changing to the Grand Rapids and Indiana from time to time. The rig was discovered on the Line street crossing with the rear wheel broken to splinters and the harness was found near the Erie tower, where it had fallen on the track and was cut by passing trains. Whether or not the rig was caught in a switch and hit by a train or whether the horse broke the wheel is not known. Mr. Stiverson lost a ladies’ steel colored rain coat and severay dry batteries for automobile use.
