Governor Ralston added to his long list of friends by his splendid and very sensible address here yesterday. He declared for those things which are admitted to be to the best interests of the people and without abusing any one, made clear his position and that of the democratic party. Six years ago when the democrats went out of the state house in Indiana we did'nt owe a cent and had more than three million dollars in the treasury. Now your taxes are three times what they were, the state owes a milion dollars and is broke. That’s about enough argument, isn't it? Daniel W. Simms will speak at the court room next Friday evening. He is a candidate for the democratic nomination for sceuator, one of the best lawyers of the midle west, a thinker, forceful and clever, a giant among Hoosiers and deserving of your attention. The voters should hear his address on the very important issues of the hour. The farmers are busy these days in the fields and they realize that they will have to put in about three days in one to get caught up but they are the real workers and will gladly do that if the weather man will plug up the leak for a week or two. The season is late but not too late ihis in this county you will see some wonderful crops in due time. We notice the baseball league schedlue has started the season off here wtih a game between Decatur and Bluffton What’s the matter? Short season? Decatur and Bluffton never played more than one game in a row without a scrap and it’s assured now that no difference what the score is or who wins, the other side will be declared and believed crooked by the enthusiasts who make the gate receipts a success. More trouble’ for the newspaper man and the “ump”. RHEUMATIC ACHES QUICKLY RELIEVED THE racking, agonizing rheumatic ache is quickly relieved by an application of Sloan’s Liniment.

John Tyndall ought to be nowiuated for congress by th® democrats of the eighth district. Whether he is or not depends largely on whether the vote Is out or not and whether those who recognize his ability make a little effort. If the people of the district knew him as we know him there would be believe be no doubt as to the results. Clarence Bell, elected president of the Rotary club is on of the clean men of the city, a Rotarian who believes that he profits most who serves best and practises it He is popular not only in his club but with the people and is held in high esteem. He will serve splendidly as the head es this very helpful organization. Dr. Fred Patterson who retires is one of the city's best men and his year as president of the Rotary club has been a very succcessful one indeed. Here's our best to both of you boys. It is a privilege and a pleasure to give credit to those local organizations, churches and clubs and to those individuals who have offered to furnish a room at the county hospital. We all want ours to be the best equipped institution of its kjnd in the state, modern and convenient and prepared to give the most efficient service. The appropriation will be largely used to build the structure and the furnishings are a big item. Those who assist in this cause are doing a good work and will receive the deep appreciation of the community in the future. It's fine to know our people have this wonderful spirit of helping good causes. When the Chicago Tribune finds fault with the proposed tariff law you know if you are fair and stop to think that there is something radically bad about it. Recently the Tribune said that republican leaders now propose to write a tariff law in the ancient way which means that the great business men will be called in and asked how much the tariff tax to be written in for you to pay, shall be If the administration permits this law to be enacted get ready for another division of the G O. P., for they will not stand for it any more than they did ten years ago. Tariff for revenue or protection is one thing and tariff for making rich men richer is another and entirely different thing Governor Ralston impressed all who heard him yesterday afternoon by his fairness. He did ont berate any man or set of men. He argued, forcefully and earnestly for the cause in which he believes. He thinks as do thousands of others that the state expenses are too great and taxes too high and his own administration as governor is the best evidence of his sincerity of purpose. During his administration the state dabt was paid off for the first time in eighty two years and taxes were largely reduced because he studied how to do it and then executed He is one of Indiana's great statesmen and has the respect of people of every political faith as was evidenced by the fact that one third of his audience yesterday were republicans LAST PERFORMANCE TONIGHT Frank McGlynn who will be seen in the name part of “Abraham Lincoln” when William Harris, Jr., sends that John Drinkwater play to the Majestic, Ft. Wayne, Friday and Saturday, April 21-22, with matinee Saturday, was born in California, is just about the age of Lilcoln when he went to the White House and like the great president, McGlynn began his career as a lawyer. Each of the members of the “Abraham Lincoln” company is American born. Many people from this city saw the show last night. Mrs. Norman Stalter of Kirkland township visited over night at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mosure. o— — — FEELS LIKE NEW WOMAN “I was a sufferer tom kidney trouble for several years,” writes Mrs. Arthur Demulle, R. F. D, I,Grasmere,N. H.. “and suffered so much I felt completely lame adl over. Since I have been taking Foley Kidney Pills 1 am not so lame. My back ached all the time and my eyes were al! a blur. Now I can see flue and feel like a defferent woman Since I have taken two bottles of Foley Kidney Pills I dont’ have : that tired feeling. I can du my own < work now.” They bring quick desalts.)

TAKE SALTSTO ; FLUSH KIDHEYS Eat less meat if you feel Back- , achy or Bladder troubles you —Salts is fine for Kidneys. Meat forma uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and piison. else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine ia cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act flue and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases. •_ FIELD MINSTRELS AT MAJESTIC “I’ thought 1 wag a pretty doggone blackface comedian before I joined the AL G. Field Minstrels. But I soon discovered that 1 was a rank amateur. Al. G. Field taught me all tho real comedy I know and a better teacher no man could find anywhere.” This- from Bert Swor, premier comedian with the Field Minstrels, which come to the Majestic Theatre, Ft. Wayne next Sunday matinee and night, is a rare tribute, in view of the renown and the success enjoyed by this popular minstrel entertainer. Bert started out as a mere youth down in Dallas. Texas, as a burnt cork comedian with a medicine show and graduated into the minstrel profession a few years thereafter. Later he and his brother became famous for their work as successors to Montgomery and Stone in “The Wizard of Oz,” 'The Red Mill" and other Dillingham musical comedy successes, and later were big league stars in vaudeville. 1 THE CRYSTAL I TONIGHT U -THE GREAT LOVER” H II A big special Goldwyn 9 9 production, featuring an Eg 9 all-star cast from the 9 9 notable stage success by 9 M la-o Ditrichstein. ga 9 All women adored 9 9 him, except—<rul of the K 9 distant past the faces of 9 beautiful girls of many 9 9 lands whose love lie jfl had won, came to haunt Eg 9 Jean Paurel, idol of the he U opera.
