more than fifteen of their, paid anything.—W illshire Herald. James J. Corbett, at one time the champion pugilist of the world, received S3OO for playing first base with the Bort Wayne league ball team, last Friday. Decatur has any amount of ball players who would have performed the same amount of labor for half the money. An Indiana man has made application for his ninth divorce and he did not begin his matrimonial career until he was fifty five years old. I his shows what a man can accomplish in any one direction by giving his whole attention to the matter. Bv mutual agreement between our office cat and the official representative and private secretary of the street commissioner, a compact has been entered into whereby we agree—for the time being—not to molest this busy officer in the fulfillment of the family snap now heartily enjoyed by them. Be it resolved, -4“The good effect of a general rise and a subsequent level of prices would be widespread and permanent. The owners of money and holders of fixed investments are the only ones to whom rising prices bring real injury, and this injury is partly remedied by the greater security given to investments.”—William J. Bryan. Os all the 800 men in the Indiana Reformatory, there is only one bald headed one. Even at Michigan City, where the older criminals are,

but vety few balds heads are found among them, our ieai tough citizens always having a full suit of hair. It is s range hut there seems to be some connection between hair and crime.—Jeffersonville Journal. Eugene V. Debs says that civil liberty in America for the laboring man is dead; that, the A. R. U. expended $45,000 only to be told by the supreme court of the United States that the poor laborer had no rights that corp 'rations are bound to respect. He advises that Labor Day be used by the laboring people in such a manner as to protest against any further encroachments. Yes, the silver men said silver and wheat go together, because they have done so so long. This year the famine has separated them. But even if they are allowed no ex cuses they are only even with the gold bug who said the Dingley bill would collect enough revenue to pay expenses and it isn’t. No excuses go, you know.—Delphos Currant. Lew G. Ellingham, formerly of this city, who has been publishing and editing the Decatur Democrat for a company of Decatur men, has just purchased the entire plant and is now sole proprietor of the same. Lewis is a gentleman and a scholar and has a good democratic county to back his paper and plenty of legal advertising. We hope sincerely that he will make a great financial success of his paper, but dern such politics.—Winchester Republican. •4A story is going the round of the papers that is far too good to be lost. A man made a bet with a shopkeeper that he couldn’t spend all be made a year by advertising. The shopkeeper soon found it impossible, for the simple reason that the more he advertised the more be made, and after a strenuous effort to get rid of his money in advertising he had to give it up. The story finishes up with the curt announcement that “if you don’t believe it, try it, and see for yourself.” -4A huge article of agreement between Kerlin Bros., of Toledo, and the Indianapolis Trust Co., of Indianapolis, is being filed with the recorders. The trust company has issued SIOO,OOO in bonds to Kerlin Bros., taking as security their oil and gas leases and lines in Wells, Grant, Blackford, Jay and Adams i counties. There are one hundred bonds of SI,OOO each drawing 7 peri cent, interest. Kerlin Bros, secured ! the bonds for the purpose of enlargI ing their operations and rebuilding their lines. W. W. Timmonds, senior member and editor of the Portland Sun, and Miss Celia Slicer, of Bellefontaine, Ohio, were united in marriage at the home of A. P. J. Snyder, editor of the Celina, (O.) Standard, Wednesday afteroon at tour o’clock by Rev. J. B. Axtell, of this city. The ceremony was witnessed by the immediate relatives of the contracting parties, and was followed by a bounteous supper, after which the bridal party returned to this city, where Mr. and Mrs. Timmonds took the midnight Grand Rapids train for a wedding trip to Mackinac and other Michigan points.—Portland Sun. The figures for the first eight months of the year 1897, afford an excellent basis of comparison between the Wilson and Dingley tariff laws. The excess of receipts over expenditures or the excess of expenditures over receipts indicates clearly the drift of the two laws. The statement by months is as follows: Excess Excess Receipts. Expenditures ■January ® 5.952.394 February 4,395,059 Marchs 9,004,664 April 5,749.9.38 May 668.131 June 13,65,014 July 11,073 544 August 14 B'B 474 And yet we are told that this is a period of great prosperity. Ihe first six months of the above figures were under the Wilson law while the last two are under the Dingley law. As a deficit producer the new tariff law is a howling success.

The True Remedy. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., “Chief,” says: ,‘We won’t keep house without Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King’s New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we nave a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc.” It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store.
