Although it ha* baffled our best physicians, it can be permanently cured by the proper use of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, .which cleanses the blood of all potsonqus matter and induces a healthy action of the kidneys and liver. To secure the best results. Hibbard’s Rheumatic and Liver Pills, and Strengthening and Rheumatic Plasters should be used in connection with the Syrup. aS-* Children Cry for

W..C. T. U. Notes. There will be a supper given at the ’ W. C. T. U. hall on Saturday (to-morrow) evening from sto 9 o’clock. Oysters with the usual accompaniments will constitute the principal bill of fare, but provisions will be made for those who do not eat oysters. Ladies do not serve supper at home tomorrow evening but bring your families to the hall it will well repay you and us. Before these lines are read Christmas day 1890 with its gladness and its sadness will have passed beyond recall. Christmas ought to be a day fraught with joy i and gladness to all, because of the inesti mable blessifigs brought to the world by the birth of a Saviour. All who live in lands enlightened by Christianity, whether they believe in the birth of the Christ-child or not are more or less benefitted by its humanizing and refining influences. To thousands oi Christians and of children under Christian influences the day brought sweet enjoyment. Many a poor forlorn child is happier to-day because ot the thoughtful Christian life which prompted some one to provide gifts for it. But alas how many are sad and sorrowful perhaps bruised and wounded, on account of the deadly drink, which has crazed the brain of the father who but for the intoxicating cup, would haye brought plenty and happiness to the'home. How long. O Lord how long, shall moral blindness close the eyes of the rulers of this and other nations and prevent them from seeing and removing the cause of so much preventable misery. : Archdeacon Farar, in onb of his temperance addresses, remarks: “Cruikshank, the artist, offered tioo for proof of a violent crime committed by a total abstainer; and the money remains Unclaimed to this day.- I offer as much for proof of any one case—either in the church or out of it—where drunkenness has been cured without total ab-t'nenee. Under pre ; ent circumstances, the only sa r e way of drinking—as an Irishman put it—ls to “leave off before you begin.” A National Event. The holding of the World’s Fair in a city scarcely fifty years old will be a remarkable event, but whether it will really benefit this nation as much as the discovery of the Restorative Nervine by Pr. Franklin Miles is doubtful. This is just what the American people need to cure their I excessive nervousness, dyspepsia, headache. dizziness, sleeplessness, neuralgia, nervous debility, dullness, contusion of mind, etc. It acts like a charm.

Letter. O A'.vi'sTnx. Texas, Dec. 17, 1890. Ufmioat:—The ’< i cussion < / i Hu* vl ctii i) h-ll ne w g 'in j on in the < I ni>d State* Senate, has pr'duct-d n<i | 1 it 1? amount »t comment in the South J i ■ lie. pe >; lc•£»»■ i exa, have very little direct • lite rest i 1 tbG LSI-’, ;s it till have nbraorfrj 1 effect upon the result of their elections ; • hin np-'n’ the jvo.'e of any state in the North T» e ep-. opie carrh t figure out how it is thfct th- Republicans of the North c .ter to the uneducated element ■vid s-.eit> n t to care for the friendship of ; I (lie ihteli'geocei. wealth and culture of the I S nth. I simply tell. the tnith when I J si:y, theist ni tun:s mere prejudice irt j the Norih again-t 'he South than the; South folds against the ptop’e of this country north pf Mason ar d Dixon's line. During a 7 isi’. of oniv a tew weeks duration in Galv< s'br , I hive attended the | theatre, when that distinctively northern I pi ty, "Held by the Enemy" was 01 ths boards. The production was cheered to the echo, and I have listened to this same drama it Cliicagt, and can assure you that the characters representing Union soldiers were received as heartily here as in the great city of the lakes. On several occasions when the stars and stripes I floated in the breeze the cheer and good will of the populace certainly proved that- 1 all prejudices;against our country's em- I blem have long since been buried. The people of Texas fee 1 ! considerable interest in the result of the Force bill on account of the effe ct it will have upon Mississippi, Louisiana and other states 'where the negro population is as large if not larger than that of the whites.-"* The sou th- , ern people have had a trial of negro de . nomination and they cannot realize how it is that the northern people wish to force , upon them such an unstable and offensive ( government, Citizens ot Adams county. where politics are probably as hotly con* | tested as id any section of the United , States, should understand that there is no 1 such thing as politics in the south. Here , it is the race question, and there are very, jew white mep who come from the north , who do not vote the Democratic ticket af.er a year’s residence. To this harbor which has lately been the recipient of $6,200,006 to obtain deep Wp.tep and has enjoyed a most complimentary notiep by the President of the United States in his annual message, the Force bill amounts to nothing.. In this city the white population exceeds that of 1 the negro by five to one, and Galveston business men have little spa r e time to worry over the action of the U nited States Senate, or that Other branch so ably conducted by the distinguished gentleman from Maine- During last year the whole saledealets here disposed ort $50,000,000 worth of merchandise and in the cotton* markets of the world Galveston stood third. The bank clearings for the three monihs ending November 31st were slol,y 775.855, placing the city elventh among the money centres of the United States. From a gentleman ’.vh<? has lately been in Decatur I learn that the Force bill will have the effect of making Indiana go Democratic by a larger majority than at any time in the history of the Hoosier ,sfiate. Does it surprise the readers of the Democrat to learn that the respectable element of the Republican party in Texas has a “Lilly White” organization, and that they are more bitterly opposed to the negro than any Democratic voter in the state. Would the Indiana gentleman who votes the straight Republican tic Z-et and puts in all his spare time abusing the south be surprised to learn that this great state with 200,000 Democratic majority, placed a colored man upon its World's Fair committee? The Force bill has no effect upon the prosperity of Texas, but the people here feel that it w.ll injure many sections of thjs south and for that reason are unanimously against it, without regard to their political affiliations. Very truly, R. T. Phillips. Remarkable Facts. Heart disease is usually supposed to be incurable, but when properly treated a large proportion of cases can be cured. Thus Mrs. Elmira Hutch, of Eikhart, Ind.,, and Mrs. Mary L. Baker, of livid, Mich., were cured after suffering 20 years. S. C. Linburger, druggist at San Jose, 111., says that. Dr. Miles’ New Heait Cure, which furpd the former, worked wonders for his wife. Levi Logan, of Buchanan, Mich., who had heart disease for thirty years, says two bottles made him feel Ijkp a new man. Dr. Miles' New Heart Curs is sojd and guaranteed by W. H. Nachtrieb. Book of wonderful testimonials free. Untold Misery. I have tor many years been articled with fever and ague, and 4 severe pain in my right side which caused me untold misery. I cannot find words to express the severity of rheumatic pains which I also endured. Dr. Johnson, an eminent physician of Chicago, said that the long contiriiipd state of inactivity of my kidneys and liver the cause of the fever and ague, and also or gall stones which had formed, and resulted iu great suffering. I was prevailed upon to try Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters, and they have entirely cured me. These medicines are certainly a revelation. Samuel Royce, Oberlin, Ohio.

Rooms 6. 5. 4. 3,2, 1, as well as 2 and 1 of the Ward were adorned and beau ified with approptiate mottoes and flowers, Severa dialogues in costumes in rooms 5 and 6 were greatly enjoyed. The little tots in the firs F-grades came in fyr their share of attention, for almost without exception they acquitted them selves as did their older brothers and sisters more advanced in years. Teachers are always pleased to see parents not Only When exercises are given but also vvhen the ordinary routine of school is the sole attention. Teachers are strengthened and pupils encouraged byvisits from parents.

Progressive Tiddle de wink is now having quite a run in this city among thedifl'erent clubs. The gafne is not a difficult one to play and affords a great amount of amusement. The requisites are: A lay out, a small glass, a quantity of colored chips of the size of a dime, a large chip for each color, a steady nerve and lots of patience. The play begins wi h No. 1, who places one of his small chips on-the line and bv pres-ing on its edge with the large chip, or flipper, attempts to fl'p it into the glass, which stands in the center of the lay “opt. As long as No. 1 is successful he can continue playing, but a failure to deposit a ch p in the glass brings No. 2 into play. So the play goes on until ail the phips of one player have been safyly landed in the glass, and then the game is endpd. If during the game a chip of one co|or falls on top of that of a different hue, the lower chip can’t play until Released, which can only be done by the top color, who proceeds playing his othgr chips until he has deposited them into the glass, and returning for his last chip which holds the other a prisoner, files’ Nerve and Liver Pills Act-op a new principle—regulating the liver, stomach and bowels through the nerves.

Just across the south ling of Adams county, is the sleepy vjffage of New Corydon, where on last Tuesday occurred one of the most terrible tragedies that has happened our sister county of Jay, since its organization. Wesley Tullis, a young man thirty years of age, was desperately in love with Miss Verona E Fravel, daughter of a store keeper and the belle of the village. Tullis was vigorously opposed in his wooing by Mrs. Fravel, the girl’s mother, Tuesday Mr. Tullis went to the store of Mr. Fravel, where the girl was clerking. They chatted pleasantly until Tullis asked thp gjrl to marry him. She replied that hey mother would not let her. He again pressed his suit with some emotion, whereupon- the young jady walked a.way from him. Without a word Tullis whipped 01 t a pistol and sent a bullet into her heart. Standing over her lifele- s body, the man placed the pistol to his head and blew his Lraitis o«\ falling beside his victim. The excitement thrqqgho;;t that pprtion of Jay county is intense, t m Ify Obituary. Another pne of our old and respected «pitizen§ gone to rest. William J.
