A contemp' art- says: As surelv as November runs )■* course- among the months, so surtlv does the eaith plunge her pondtT<‘u< >ph r- though gigantic ellipse ot >h,; Niov«mbrr met. or-zone whose perehelion tests on hero-bi', and whose aphelion, lies bstond the orbit of Uranus. This meteor-zone cons : sts of Temple’s c tmet and a swinn ot me e >rs following in its track, m Aes a revolu i >n once in abou* 33 'ears. When the*warm and the earth come tog ther, ; b ut Nov. I3'h, there is a great display of in.-’e >rs. „ This was the c.i-e in 1833. and 1866-67, and will b-J the case in 1899. The swann is now well advanced on its way to the meeting point, for nine intervening jeafs will soon pass. The swarm has not,scattered through the orbit, and very few meteors are seen on ordinary years. It is well how ever, to keep diligent watch, for the ifeafer the swarm comes, the greater is the probabilty of an increase in the number captured by the earth, while comets and meteors are the most uncertain members of the sun's family. The November meteors are called Leonids, because their radiant point is in the constellation of Leo. They move swiftly, are of a greenish or blueish tint, and the trains they leave behind are brilliant and remain for several seconds. The November meteors have a romantic history. A meteoric comet strayed from the star depths into our system on a visit to the sun. It unwarily approached too near Uranus. The giant planet made a capture of it, closed its orbit into an eclipse, and obliged it to revolve within the boundaries of the solar system. This may have happened in the year 126 of our era, and ever since we have had magnificent star showers once in 33 years. When the earth, about Nov. 13, IS9O, plunges through the thickest portion of the meteor swarm, there was every reason to anticipate those millions of meteors, captured by against her atmosphere, will seem to set the heavens on fire, and make the grand display that those who have witnessed previous showers declare to be as magnificent as it is sublime and awe Inspiring.] ■ " ... Everything Else Failed. lam now 28 years old and fom the time I was seven years of age until 1885, I suffered with a severe case of scrofula. During this time I took every known remedy, but to no purpose. My father took me to North Carolina, where I was pUt under the treatment of an eminent physician. The medicines given me had only a temporary effect, for shortly after my return the scrofula broke out in a more malignant form, and I was worse off than ever before. In 18S5 I discontinued taking all, other medicines and commenced taking Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) I took a number of bottles and it cured me. I have been free from scrofula from that time until now. T. A. Sizemore, .A. Piedmont, S. C. RESTORED HER HEALTH. For 25 years I suffered from boils, erysipelas, and other blood affections; taking during that time great quantities of different medicines without deriving any perceptible rel : ef. Friends induced me to try Swift’s Specific ,(S. S. S.) It improved me from the start, and alter taking several bottles restored my Health as far as I could hope for at my age, which is now 75 years. Mrs. S. M. Lucas, Bowling Green, Ky. Treatise on blood and skin diseases mailed iree. Swift Specific Co,, Atlanta, Ga. . Found the Skeleton. In the fall of 1862, according to a report published in the city papers, George Isenhart, a farmer living a short distance south of Portland, mysteriously disappeared. A . wide search was made at the time.for the man but no clue could be found. Not long ago the son of John Hinman, a neigh • bor of I senhart, confessed to several persons that his father had killed Isenhart, buried the body in a manure pile and afterwards removed it to the it was buried beneath the floor of the feed room. On Friday of last week several persons from Portland, accompanied by relatives of the missing man, searched for the remains on the cite of the old barn and the skeleton was found. The re* mains were identified by a leather vest which was worn by Isenhart when last seen alive. Hinman, the murderer, died in the Jeffersonvi.le hospital towards the close of the war. Domestic trouble was the only knbwn cause for the murder. The finding of the skeleton created considerableexcitement in Portland and vicinity. Will be Given Away. Our enterprising druggists W. H. Nachtrieb who carries the finest stock of drugs, perfumeries, toilet articles, brushes, sponges, etc., are giving away a large number of trial bottles of Dr. Miles’ celebrated Restorative Nervine.

They also guaratee Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure in all cases of nervous or organic heart disease, palpitation, pain in side; smothering etc. Fine book on “nervous and heart diseases” free.

Prebie Township Items. A young son ai rived at F. Scheimann’s last week. Mann, Bottenberg and Koeneinann are shipping several car loads of stock from Williams every week. . On Thursday of last week, Mr. Getting, of Fort Wayne, wa» married to Miss Minnie Zwick, daughter of Wm. Zwick, of this county. Some one must be to blame for the re suit of the election. The President’s paper, the Indianapolis Journal, blame-its own partyjbrothers, because as ifsays, ‘So many of the Republicans stayed a\ay from Ihe polls, the re-ult is whut it is.” Why did they stay at home? Was it because the Republican Sta’e Central Co n mittee did not do its duly 5 Oh, no, tbi.-. Committee worked lise bea-efs to bring out the voters. Was it on account o! scarcity of fund.-? No! They had all the money they wished fir. The department clerks of Indiana donated $12,000 towards the campaign fund. Well, the journal spe: ks a bent the tariff bill having been used by the Democrats in electioneering. The tariffbiil undoubtedly had a great deal to do with the Waterloo of the Republican party. But this was not the only cause. As the Fort Wayne Gazette said, one of the principal causes was the “affiliations with other associations.” Another cause of the defeat was the “Boss Rule;” people it said are tiring of such rule, they have arrived at the age of maturity, and it is not necessary to appoint guardians for them {iny longer.” Well, some Republican journals sav “this is an oft’ year.” The poor “off year” will have to take all the blame. We shall not rob our friends of the consolation, it being about the only consolation they have; but it seems that our friends will under the new Australian system, have only such “off years.” It is not safe to invest too much money in election under this new law, on account of the uncertainty of receiving value for money expended, and without money voters cannot be imported. The Greatest Strike. Among the greatest strikes of Dr. Miles in discovering his New Heart Cure has itself to be one of the most important. The demand for it has become astonishing. Already the treatment of heart disease is‘being revolutionized, and manyunexpected cures effected. It soon relieves short breath, fluttering, pains in side, arm, shoulders, week and hungery spells, oppression, swelling of ankles, smothering and heart dropsy.

Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved. , ■ From a letter witten by Mrs. Ada £, Herd of Groton, S. D., We quote: “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. I gaye-it a trial, took in all eight bottles; it has cured me and thank God I a am now a well and hearty woman.” Trial bottles free at A. R. Pierces drug store, regular size, 50c and $1 00. Saved the Value of a Farm. Sellers’ Cough Syrup has attained a reputation almost equal to Sellers’ Pills, and more could hardly be said of any other medicine. The Syrup should be kept in every family where there are children, and grown up people find it a most valuable medicine for 4 coughs, colds, hoarseness and throat and lung diseases. The pills are such a standard remedy in some parts of the country that a family never thinks of doing without them. Said an old gentleman in eastern Maryland, “Why I have raised my- family on Sellers’ Pills, and I consider them almost as essential to a family as bread. In the last thirty years they have saved me enough, in doctor bills to pay for a farm.— Cincinnati TimesStar.

If they don’t marry “next week” probably it would not be out of place to assert that the event will not be further off than the week after. Fortunate Investment. Geo. Shaffer, a leading farmer of Arcadia, Ind., writes: “I want to say- that Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup is ttie greatest remedy in the world. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for three years, and could get no relief from any source until I began using this medicine. The second bottle began to effect me. I am now on my sixth bottle and can work every day. It is a great medicine; don’t be afraid to recommend it. i Geo. Shaffer.
