Its a good thing Help it along. “If any citizen of his home county has doubts as to the high esteem in which Governor Ramuel M. Ralston is held by the people of Indiana, without reference to partisan political divisions, let his get out among hte people from various parts of the stat ■ No Democrat in Indiana today is more popular with his party than is Gover nor Ralston and he has won the confidence and respect of fair minded men of all partin, as well as the commercial and business interests of the state. The publisher ofthe Pioneer happens to know personally of the high regard in which he is held by some of the leading men of opposing party organizations. One said a few days ago that not since the days of Oliver P. Morton, the great war governor, has Indiana had a chief ex> cutive of such ability as Ralston. Notwithstanding the efforts of certain influences, which cannot control Governor Ralston, to cast dis credit upon his administration, the fact is thatfi compared with that of auj of his predecessors of either natty the Ralston administration will stand out as one of the best in the stat j’s history. It has squarely faced every question and situation that has arisen and has placed the state’s institutions upon a sound financial basic. It has given the people wholesome laws and has safeguarded their rights at every point. The Democratic party in Indiana need make no apologies for the Ralston administration. It is an open book and challenges admiration nistead of criticism.” —Lebanon Pioneer.

BURNHAM'S SAN-YAK Acts as a Living Antiseptic in the Stomach and Intestines. San-Yak prevents sols poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents clogging of the colon and caecum; hence its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be cheeked, and you can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; it is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. SI.OO per bottle. Sold by Smith. Yager fc Falk drug store. Decatur, Ind. o For Wayne & Springfield Ry. Company.

From My Narrow MM Little Window S 3 By ' tE I 4 . THE HOOSIER OBSERVER Mk WHAT THE ASTERS TAUGHT. "■ 1 ' ■■

Flower In the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies; — Hold you here, root and all, tn my hand, Little flower —but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is. —Tennyson. ****** Isn’t it Shakespeare, too. who says that man is not to be trusted in whose soul there is no music—or words to that effect? So, too. I think that soul lacks the love for the divine, who does not love flowers for they are but another form of the manifestation of the divine. There are indeed, very few souls so gross that they do not love them, and appreciate to the highest their beauty. But many of these do not have the time nor the means to foster and cultivate flowers themselves, although they may admire those that have been cared for by others. It is therefore, refreshing, indeed, to find some who realize in the highest the truth that we “do not live by bread alon,” who literally pluck a few moments from the busy every day life to cultivate the beautiful. **•*•* A visit to the farm of John Everett, and Cal Peterson, five miles south of this city, will be convincing that there are some who appreciate the fullest, the beautiful in nature, and spend some part of their busy life in cultivating it. We made a special trip out to the country, to see the "aster fields,” having had some little forecast of what to except, in the beautiful asters that have made the Everett and Peterson home in this cite characteristic for several years. As w-e approached the farm we were reminded of a verse from Wordsworth’s “Daffiodils:” “Continuous as the stars that shihe And twinkle on the milky way. They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of the (bay) way: Ten thousand saw 1 at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.” 1 am sure if we had stopped to count, those numbers would not have been amiss. For a four-tier row of blooming stock fringes the front of the wide lawn and continues in threetier rows as it turns at the corner, leading to the barnyard, with another three-tier row at the other side. One rode along a literal highway of blossoms, several rods long. On the inside runs a carefully kept privet hedge. And it was a very patriotic sight, too. For all the colors in our beautiful American flag were embodied in the aster fields. There was the red. THE BELL TRIAL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) were about to appoint their own list of inspectors in place of those selected by Barrett the county chairman, Thomas Taggart came here and with Bell went to Commissioner John Kipley and got down on their knees and literally begged him to put Barretts men across. Gibson bought up colored anj white men who were on sale 'on foot. “He was given a piece of money and a drink for each one. o — DITCH ASSESSMENT NOTICE All assessments for the comitruction of the JOHN W.

shading down through its variations to a 'beautiful flesh-pink; the deep blue, shading down to a lovely lavendar, and then deeping to the purple; the pure white—and each blossom. large and fully formed, "double,” and really deserving of its other significant name, “the fall rose." Having had a vision of the beauty that would blossom later, Messrs. Everett and Peterson, early in the spring, had prepared the ground, set out the young plants, carefully cultivated the earth about them, kept them ts free from weeds, and are now rewarded with the beauty of the fullbloom. The farm, which is one of the fine ones of the community, is a model, of beauty and "weil-keptness.” Charles Hagerty and family reside on the place. A noticeable thing about the blossoms is that their full beauty is more apparent from the approach from the roadway, early in the morning ami late in the afternoon. At that time their faces are turned toward the, northeast, for they keep turning their heads about, following the course of the sun in its circuit and coming back in the even-tide to their morning po-. sition, they remain that way over, night with their faces toward the east, like oriental sun-worshipers, awaiting the rising of their god. This faithfulness reminds one of the clos-' ing verse of “Believe me if all those’ endearing young charms” w'here it says in lines transposed: “As the sun-flower turns on her god, when he sets. The same look which she turns when he rose, So the heart that has truly lov’d never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close.” ****** It was a gay little company of faithful flower-heads, with their messages of inspiration, that grow rich with meditation, for like Wordsworth, we can say: * * ♦ but they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay. In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed.—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: < For oft, when bn my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.” MASONIC CALCNO.fi FOR WEEK ENDING, SEPT. 18.

Grots Day At A Glance. SHOW LOT-Ed Ahr Held, east of town. , Tuesday over the Clover Loaf railroad. ARRIVAL-In throe so terns Tuesd. * First section expected before najngnio’clock. PARADE—Leaves show grounds at 10 a. m. Tuesday morning and will pass through the principal down town streets. TR'KETS—On sale Tuesday for both performances by a special representative at the Holthouse Drug store, at same prices as charged on the show grounds. PERFORMANCEB—Two and eight p. m. Doors open an hour earlier. DEPARTURE- Soon after midnight for Portland. Show grounds illuminated at night by special plant carried with the circus. Noveltv wil be the keynote of Tuesday’s Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, the best elements of the dear old-time circus, with the newest things in the way of European thrills. Monotony and repetition have been eliminated, it is said. Three trains of double length railroad cars, twice the size of the ordinary car are used to transport hte Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace circus. The first wetion.’known in the parlance of the circus as the "flying squadron,” is scheduled to leave Frankfort, where the show plays today, soon after midnight The .lining tents with its convoys will inaugurate the encampment at the grounds, and food will await the hungry hundreds when they reach the circus grounds. The circus parade will make Its start from the show grounds at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, or as near that hour us conditions will permit. The pageant stretches three miles In length and its beauty, promise is given, will surpass the exceptations of the young and old. A score of camels will tread the route, and of camels, zebras, zebus, sacred cattle, yaks and other "led" animals there will be legion. Dozens of open cages will disclose their jungle inmates and trainers. More than 600 equines, ranging from the powerful plumed draft and Pcreherons and Clydesdales, thoroughbred chariot racers and ring horses to the sturdy little Shetland ponies, ever dear to the hearts of the children, will display themselves. The allegorical and tableau floats and other appurtenances with the pageant are resplendent with gold leaf and all represent the best efforts of distinguished designers, sculptors and decorators. Eight bands and two steam caliopes will give ceaseless brass harmony and the nonsense of clowns will pervade the long line. The circus performances will begin promptly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8 o’clock at night, and the Hagenbeck-Wallace management announces that their mammoth new arena tent is weatherproof. It is 540 feet in length and is declared to be nothing short of an Aladdm like canvas palace. The menagerie comprises, with few exceptions, every beast, bird and reptile mentioned in natural history. The zoological department represents the monument of the late Carl Hagenbeck. who at the time of his death, was the recognized “animal king” of the world. The work of securing new and rare specimens for ttxg, traveling zoo Mill goes on at the European headquarters of.the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus, Hamburg, Germany. The trained wild animals number several hundred and appear under the personal direction of Philip Hagenbeck, assisted by almost a score of trainers, many of international fame. The beasts perform in a massive steel-girded arena weighing many ton* Among the performing wild animals will be lions, tigers, jaguars, pumas, leopards, and the largest collection of white Polar and black bears ever seen together at one time, there being twenty-eight. The circus performance is replete with novelties. Almost every civilized country has furnished a star. There are 400 performers, who work in three rings, two elevated stages and on the quarter of a mile hippodrome track. Among the artists best known to circus goers is Miss Dal lie Julian, an Australian bareback rider of fame in many civilized countries. Although Miss Julian is only 19 years of age. she has accomplished what few male bareback riders have done, the forward and backward somersault on a running horse. Among the aerialists are the Flying Ward troupe of six who hail from the Royal Cirqus, Amsterdam, Holland. Pau! Ward twice daily courts death while performing thetriple somersault. As far as it Is known in circus history Ward is the only person who has successfully mastered the intricate trick of a triple revolution in the air. His act put to rout the so-called laws of gravitation as advocated by learned men. In every other department efforts have been made by the management of the show to secure the most skilled performers in their lines. The comedy end is looked after by 50 funmakers, headed by Arthur Boreila, Harvey Johnson and Lon Moore. The youngest clown is Harold Brady, four years old, and "Pop” Amson. of three score and ten years, is the oldest of the funmakers. The clown department of the HagenbeckWallace circus has been long noted as supreme and this year it is even larger. Tickets will be on sale fr both performances all day Tuesday by a special representative, at the Holthouse Drug store at the regular prices charged on the show grounds.
