Sarsaparilla Sense. A Any sarsaparilla is sarsaparilla. True. So any tea is tea. So any flour is flour. But grades differ. You want the best. It’s so with sarsaparilla. There are grades. You want the best. If you understood sarsaparilla as well as you do tea and flour it would be easy to determine. But you don’t. How should you ? When you are going to buy a commodity whose value you don't know, you pick out an c'.d established house to trade with, and trust their experience and reputation. Do so when buying sarsaparilla. /.ver’s Sarsaparilla has been on the market 50 years. Your g-.'.ndtather used Ayer's. It is a r; .' fl-.'.e medicine.

LATEST HAPPENINGS CREAM OF THE NEWS FROM THE GREAT HOOSIER STATE. Events of the Day Specially Prepared For Our Renders—lnteresting Newsy Gossip of Indianians and Their Doings —Minor News In a Brief Form. Indianapolis, Aug. 10.—Several Indianapolis people made large sums of money in sugar and sugar stocks recently.

Perkinsville. Ind., Aug. 9.—J. C. Applegate, a farmer near here has made an important discovery and one that clears up a mystery. During the pioneer days of the state Indians had a large camping ground near here and used to sell large quantities of lead ore to the merchants of the state. Where they got the ore was a mystery, as no mines were known to exist in the west. While cleaning out an old hole in the woods on his farm Saturday for the pur- . pose of changing it into a stock well, ' Mr. Applegate discovered a vein of rich lead ore 30 feet underground. This on- | doubtedly explains where the Indians got their ore as the ground was found : tunnelled under some distance. PISTOLS IN CHURCH. JPreaoher Shoots at a GMig of Bowdlee and Kill* a Child. Washington, Ind., Aug. 6.—Rev. John Walstein, who has been holding revival services at Concord Christian church near here, received word that he would be egged if he preached again. He went prepared, and when he opened Services laid a pistol on each side of his Bible, announcing that he would defend himself if necessary. It was not long before a disturbance was raised at one of the windows. In an instant the minister commenced firing toward the window. He scattered the roughs, but one bullet passed through the abdomen of the 3-year-old daughter cf John Standiford, who was sleeping on one of the seats. The little girl is dying. In the excitement Walstein made his escape. SICK AND IMPOVERISHED. XV. J. Craig, Once Owner of the Indianapoiis Sentinel In Soldleas’ Hume. Marion, Ind., Aug. 10. —W. J.
