KEKNEDY & KERGAN ■ 143 Shelby St., Detroit, Mich. LIN« GROVE William Hizelman, after taking in the sights of the various cities in the east anti west for eighteen months past, visited his mother Mrs. August Scheidecker this week. David Runion and wife accompanied G. W. Nicholas to Holloway, Mieh.. to visit Mr'. R. s sister whose whereabouts was unknown since she went away thirty-nine years ago. The meeting was an emotional one. Clark Funk left early in the week on his third annual trip to thresh the grain in North Dakota. Daniel Baumgartner has purchased of William Hall ond others their picture galery and fixtures at Markle. Ind . and will locate there within the next few days. Trustee Wm. Hall and L L. Dunbar have each bought a Tictor burglar proof safe. The former for the archives ot Hartford township. The Likens Oil Company have completed a well on the Smith Shoemaker land, known as the John Chrisman homestead, that started out with two hundred barrels per day-. Through typographical errors in our items last week relating to the Nicholas narrative was made incomprehensible. Our manuscript states that in the elopement of Mr. Nicholas and Miss French, that they took with them his three children leaving his legal wife childless and with but a meager amount of life’s comforts, and that French's relatives had for many years mourned her dead After their departure Mr. Nicholas and Miss French were married and livsd together until nearly three years ago when death separated them. G. W. Nicholas the visitor here last week being the oldest son of the eloping pair, who imparted the jovful intelligence which broke the monotany of a thirty-nine years’ estrangement. Rumor will have it that Edward Neuenschwander has sold his property including h's stock and fixtures to G. W. Nicholas. J. Douglass French has just been apprised that the result of his examination at Chicago some weeks ago entitles him to a five years’ state license in the state of Illinois. When we consider that the intistines are ahbut five times as long as the body, we can realize the intense suffering experiened when„they. become inflamed. De- . Witt’s Colic & Cholera Cure subdues infl amation at once and completely removes the difficulty, W. H.Nachtrieb. BERNE ITEMS

W. H. Nachtrieb. THE MEAT OF THE ARGUMENT. Camp Silver, Aug. 10, 1896. ..Messr&.J’hil. Armour &. Cm,. Chicago. J Friend Phil—Your offer of -50 cents’ worth of meat and a Mexican dollar in exchange for an. American dollar re- : ceived, but 1 can do better with our home butcher. He offers 50 cents’ . worth of meat and §2 worth of Portuguese 3 per cent gold bonds in exchange for a silver dollar. , Our butcher savs the bonds must be ■ good, as Portugal has been on a gold ' standard since 18-53,(twenty years be • fore the other enlightened nations of i Europe) and its national debt has only increased 100 hundred per cent since - that date. Average wages paid all < artisans in Portugal is 17 cents per day. ' In your former letter you told me that ] all we needed was a little gold improved : “banking facilities” and “confidence.” ; Portugal had a “little gold,” the i world has its “improved banking facili- . ties” since 18-53, and I can supply the j “confidence,” so the bonds are certainly geld. Our home butcher says he will continue to give -50 cents’ worth of meat and $2 of Portuguese gold bonds after Bryan is elected. Will you continue to give 50 cents’ worth of meat and a Mexican dollar in exchange for an American silver dollar after Bryan is elected? Yours truly, JOHN FAIRPLAY. P. S.—l see London quotes Mexican bonds at 94 1-2; Portuguese 3 per cent bond 4 at 261. It would be hard to convince a man suffering from bilious colic that his agony is due tj a microbe with an unpronotincable name. But one dose of DeWitts Colic & Cholera Cure will convince him of its power to afford instant relief. It kills pain. W. H. Nachrieb.

Eli Hill, Lumber City, Pa.; writes: “I have been suffering from Piles for twentyfive years and thought my case incurable. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve was recommended to me as a pile cure, so I bought a box and it performed a permanent cure,” This is only one out of thousands of similar cases. Eczema, sores and skin diseases yield quickly when it is used. W- H. Nachtrieb. HAVE YOU A COLD! If so, then, instead of taking so much quinine and other strong medicines, tike a pleasant and mild stomach and bowel remedy, which will cleanse the system, and you will be surprised how quickly the cold will leave you. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will do this better than any other. Trial size 10e (10 doses 10c,) larger sizes 50c and sl, at Holthouse & Smith’s Decatur, and Stengel A Craig’s, Berne<LOVER LEAF ROUTE.
