The Daughters of America surprised the J. O. U. M. at their lodge room on Monroe st reet Friday night. About twenty-fiv.eofthe ladies , met and went in a body to the hall taking with . them well filled baskets. They killed the outside sentinel and after they had effected an entrance, a rip roaring time was had until the good things were disposed of. Do you have a hankering to see the, next president of the United States'? If so, the opportunity is afforded you by the Clover Leaf .railroad, who have made a rate from this city to-Kokomo for one lone daddy dollar. The date is next Wednesday., at which time William Jennings Bryan will be in Kokomo one hour, from 10:30 to U;3O. * It is a special train and leaves here at 7:00 o’clock, arriving in Kokomo at 9:45. The special train will return immediately after the Bryan train. It is, an excellent opportunity and costs but sl. Several hundred people Bvill gohfrom Decatur Band and perhaps the Preble band.

Attorney W . S. Einorous of Salem, Ohfti, is in the city on business. Loyd Dalrymple and Floyd Smith took in the many sights at the Port and Fair. The Clover Leaf Bai road Company are repairing the grounds uliacent to their depot. Seth is said to be improving. He has been sick for some time with typ oid fever.

One death has already resulted from diptheria at Geneva and four or five other cases are reported. We trust that a strict quarantine will be ordered by our neighboring city to prevent the spread of the disease. Ed Heller, in company with Elmer Moser, indulged in a little runaway Saturday. Moser had his leg injured but did not notice anything wrong until in the afterwheu the injured member caused him a great deal of pain. Rev. E. M. Page went to Deca tur, Indiana, this morning, to assist in conducting evangelistic services in that city. He wil preach twice every day.

Erm in. the fifteen-year old son of N. Mentzer, accidently shot himself in the leg yesterday afternoon. As he was running, a revolver which he had in his pocket fell out, struck t lie side walk and was dis charged-, the bullet striking him just'below the knee. The wound is not serious, but this should teach boys that during these peaceful Limes, it is not necessary to carry guns. There is an election bet standing at Milwaukee which, for originality, ‘‘lays over” anything which has been made thus far. Ered Burke and Albert . Donaldson are parties lo the'contract. The ior,«uer agrees to leave the country for ever on or before January 1, 1897 if Wm. McKinley is elected president, and the latter will do the country a like service it Wm. J. Bryan is elected. The rains the forepart of last week cooled the ardor of the fair going people, and in consequence the celebrated Portland fair was net the renowned success it deserves to be or has been for many years past. The entries, however, were larger than ever before, and had the weather proved favorable, one of the largest crowds of people that ever attended a Jay county fair, would have been On hands every day. The track re sembled an Adams ■’county mud pike, which very materially interfered with the racing. Gum boots were essential foot gear for safety in looking up the numerous attractions on Ihe grounds. The association deserves better luck, and we hope next year they will be able to make good all deficiencies if any occurs.

I This city is the headquarters of ' five or six parties who are traveling through the country selling clothing, claiming to represent a large house in Clficago. People should remember that they can buy clothing as cheap of our home iner 1 chants as they can in Chicago, and by doing this, take no chances of being swindled. Our merchants . are here to stay, they consume our productions, pay taxes and keep up the community in which they live, while the fakir is here today, gets your money, giving you experience in exchange, and tomorrow he is back in Chicago. It is said the parties who are at present at work in this city and surrounding country approached a well known resi- , dent of this city, and offered him $5.()0-per day’ to drive through the , country and introduce them to the farmers. The offer was w sely refused, and when th_ey call on you ■ to sell you clothing, give them the answer that contains but one word —Nit. J. S. Peterson returned to Van Buren to take charge of his establishment at that place. Wm. Reid, of Detroit, Mich'., whose ’! advertisement as agent of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. appears in our columns, still continues the other branches of his glass business, and will be pleased to have,, your orders, j If your chi dren are subject to croup watch for the first symptom of the disease—hoarseness. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is kiven as soon, as the child becomes hoarse it will prevent the attack. Even after the croupy cough has appeared the attack can always be prevented by giving this remedy. It is also invaluable for colds and whooping cough. For sale by all druggists. It would be hard to convince a man suffering from bilions colic that his agony is due t j a microbe with an unpronouncable 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. ’ Six weeks ago I suffered with a very se t vere cold; was almost unable to speak. My friends all advised me to consult a physi- c cian. Noticing Chamberlain’s Cough Reni S edy advertised in the St. Paul Volks Zei- c tung, I procured a bottle, and after taking 8 it a short while was entirely well. I now ‘ most heartily recommend this remedy to ’ anyone sgffering with a cold. Wm. Keil, rj 678 Selby Ave., St. Paul, Minn, For sale c by all druggists. A t

“I fiave never had a days sickness in my < life,” said a middle-aged man the other d ay “What a comfort it would be,” sighs some poor invalid, “to be in his place for a year or two.” Yet half the invalids we see might be just as healthy as he, if they would only take proper care of themselves, ' eat proper food—and digest it. It’s so strange that such simple things are over- 1 looked by those who want health. Food j makes health. It makes strength—and . strength wards off sickness. The man who j 'Eaffnever been sick was strong because he always digested his food, and you could become the same by helping your stomach to ■ work as well as his. Shaker Digestive Cordial will help your stomach and make | you strong and healty by making the food you eat make you fat. Druggists self it, . Trial bottle 10 cents. HAVE YOU A COLD?
