After all the talk ot blood and gore he has suddenly been relegated to tho I rear and will be heard of no more for two years at least. The ratification meting at Portland today was one of the important ones In the nation because the principle speaker was William J. Bryan, the man who made possible the great victory of last Tuesday. .. i ■ Berne will jollify Thursday ot next week and when they do things they do ' them, so you may rest assured that this will be a big event. The pro | gram in detail will soon be announced but you don t need to wait for it. It will be a great occasion. Old Home Week affairs have bet u settled in full. It was a wonderful achievement. The big show cost about $3,000, and the shortage was less than $45.00 Everybody had a good time 1 and no person we have heard of re grets a single cent they paid io give the affair. r California has evidently slipped into the Roosevelt column, and no one seems to care much, for it affects the result in no way The fact remains that Mr. Wilson's plurality in the electoral college will be something over 440, the congress and senate are del 1ocratic; it's a clean sweep, so wbat'j the difference? Four ,ays have paased since the election of Wilson and .Marshall and instead of a panic, the conditions are just the opposite. Stocks have ad vanced and there is every indicatiro that the times will continue not only as good as they have been, but improve. Regulation ot untair business methods are ail that is necessary ro make it easier to live Jolliflcatiou meetings are living held by democrat* at various places over Indiana and there has Iteeii some discussion of such a celebration here It is likely, however, i&at nothing will; be done along that line, itecatur has had a busy season, with various public events and it seems probably that they will only jollify by sending delegations to the other cities this locality. Itwatar is the best town in this pan at the state If you don't believe it just start out tomorrow and hunt for an empty house. You can't find one for lov» or money and the only trouble is that we ought to have about atty new homes right away. The sugar company would bring here fit teen families al M<». If they could be

Order is essential. ■ Form a circle in your class. All help jto make it; one can break it. None ' has all the credit for it. Teachers must not talk to each other in the Sunday school. You owe your attention to the scholars.” In brief this was indeed a fine address. A duet followed, after which Mr. Burnie spoke on "leading and Unloading." "Better spend five or ten minutes each day during the week than one hour Just before the Sunday school begins. The best time to study the lesson is the same afternoon when the former lesson is taught. Study the when, the where and the whys of the lesson. A teaching plan is essential If we would succeed. Know ten times more than you will have lime to tell the scholars. Get the heart of the lesson. Eliminate the leas’ important things Adapt your teaching to the class." — ... — o— — — NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

EASY AND SURE WAY TO CURE COLDS. Don’t Neglect a void, Ely’s Cream Will Stop it in the Sneering Stage. - A cold generally attacks the weakest part, affecting the eyes and ears in some anti producting nasal catarrh anti throat, -troubles in others. A cold is due to au in flammat lea of the membrane lining of the tar passages, and may be promptly cured with a little Ely's Cream Bal n, which Immediately relieves thd infiamtnatiou and all the distressing symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, running at the nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore throat, fever and headache. One reason why this pure, antiseptic Balin acts so quickly is because it is applied directly to the tender, sore surfaces. Even in severe, chroniq cases of catarrh, Ely’s Crvsm Balm never fails to quickly and effectually check the poisonous discharge which clogs the head and throat, causing the disgusting hawking, upitting and blowing of the nose. This remedy not oply drives out the disease, but heals and strengthens the weakened membranes, thus ending catarrh. Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting disease. Don't put up with it another day. Get a 50 cent bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from your druggist and I see how quickly you will be relieved.
