Entered at the Postoffice in Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Without any definite idea of what evidence old man Lawson can produce to substantiate his statements that McAdoo. Bernstorf!' and other "higher ups” took part in the leak on jhe Wilson note and thus "kicken in" on the gamble on Wall street, we predict that the Boston farmer will have to furnish something to back up what he has said or be branded as the champion sweepstake liar of the age. A Huntington young man named Wells has confessed that he murdered a young woman last week in a Columbus hotel, but says he was either drunk or crazy. It required foptyeight hours to get him to remember and in the meantime he smoked a couple of hundred cigarettes. He seems to be one of those young men who fails because he feels the world owes him a living and good time along with it. accompanied by high balls, high living and high kickers. It won't work. The wages are the same as they used to be. Had you noticed that the republican press of Indiana is not playing up very strong the "blind tiger pinch” of the Columbia club, leading fashionable gathering place for the republican politicians of the state? What do you suppose they would be doing if that had been a democratic institution? We almost shudder to think Os what some of these ink throwers would be doing. While they are trying to make the dry federations and the brewers both think they are friendly to them in the legislature, the attack on the clubcjnade by Lew Shank, former republican candidate for governonr. once mayor of Indianapolis, and a very bothersome candidate tor that place right now. is enough to cause the leaders more or less real concern. Actual work on a new high school building in Decatur will begin within a few months and this city will in another year or such a matter boast of one of the best high school properties in the state. Besides this we will have three ward buildings and the central for the grades and two parochial schools. It looks as though there ought to be no reason why our boys and girls should not have their ‘Teadin', ’riten’ and ’rithmetic,” and without walking very far to get it. The new building will be a modern one and will compare favorably with those in cities many times larger than Decatur, which is as it should be. There is nothing too good for the *THIS severe weather demands good heavy clothing and as we are making some great reductions on all heavy clothing you should take a look at our stock at once. If you do not need the clothing until next winter you will make money by buying now. THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

THE .MAKING OF A FAMOUS MEDICINE. Few people realize that over 350.000 pouiids of various herbs are used annually in making Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these herbs all have to be gathered at the sea son of the year when their medicinal properties are at their best. The watchword in preparing these herbs is cleanliness, the process of percolation is perfect. All utensils and tanks are sterilized and the medicine is pasteurized, clarified and tilteied before it is bottled for the consumer. it is this wonderful combination of herbs, together with the skill 'and care used in the preparation, which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.—Advt.
