A writer in the Indiana farmer has found quinine to be a good remedy for the cure of hog cholera. He dosed the hogs heavily with the drug, giving it every two hours and ; after the third dose the hogs began to eat and la er on all symptoms of the disease disappeared. It is claimed that the hitter element in the drug is an antidote for the disease. Persons who are troubled with indigestion will be interested iu the experience of Wm. H.

The oil production in the P ru I field, in spite of the fact that a few new wells are going down, is st-a *- ily d •dining: Two m mths ago th* yield was est'ma'ed at 5,000 barrels. The attention of oil men is again turned towarls Alexandria, and the National Supply Co., will loca’e a store at Hartford City. That place is a midway p »int U territory which will next be opened.—Bluffton NeWS. That terrible scourge of nursery, membraneous croup, is raging in Marion. In speaking of the dis ea*e, the Chronicle of that place says: “City Health Officer Lvtle said this morning that eighteen children hai died of membraneous croup in the last three weeks. The physicians seem unable to cope with it, and the little ones are succumbing within a few hours after the disease attacks them.” A Cure for Lame Back. “My daughter when recovering from an attack of fever, was a grt at sufferer from pain in the back and hips,” writes L >uden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. “Aber using quite a number of remedies without any benefit she tried one bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and it has given entire relief.” Chamber lain’s Pain Bbm is also a certain cure for rheumatism. Sold by Smith <& Callow. j At a New England society dinner some years ago, according to a floating paragraph, Mark Twain had j ist finished a pinquant address when Mr. Evarts arose, shove 1 both of his hands down in his trows-rs’ pocket, as was his habit, and laughingly remarked: “Doesn’t it strike this company as a little unu*ual that

There have been many abuses in the management of these homes, and it is thought best that the United States shou dcontrol them. The pr'gressive ladies of Westfield, Ind., issued a “Woman’s Elitiou” of the Westfield News, bearing date of April 3, 1896. The paper is filled wi'h matter of interest to women, and we notice the following from a correspondent, wh ch the edt’ors printed, realizing 'hat it treats upon a matter sf vital importance to their sex: “The best remedy f>r croup, colds and bronchitis that I have been able to sins is Chamb plain's Cough K-medy.

He is sometimes on one leg and sometimes on two. The state gives hnn enough pension to keep him tn tobacco. Then the state builds him a home snd sells it before he can get in it. My pa sais he is a veteran He was w. unded by having one leg sawed ff in a Confederate saw m II while making coffins io bury soldiers in. I be state don’t help my pa much, and my pa says damn the state.” An aged lady of Delphos died a few days ago and when the administrator and coi'B'able visited her house to take an inventory of her belongings they found money and notes to the amount of 110,000. She was supposd to have been a poor woman, but the discoveries show her to have been a miser. The money was found at different places about the house, tied up in neat packages. Her husband died eight years ago. About ten y, ars ago burglars entered their home and tortured the old people by placing their bare feet on a red-tot stove, but they refused to reveal the hiding places of money They leave no children.

Kerlin Bros, have what is perhaps the best well in Indiana, age considered. It is a short distance from Geneva and was brought in five years ago this month. It started off in skyrocket fashion but soon dropped down to fifty birrels, then twenty-five and so on as the general run of wells in this field do. Ana unlike a large majority it never fell below fifteen barrels and today is doing sixteen and a half inches, or a little over sixteen barrels. It has produced over 16,000 worth ot oil and is a money maker at the low market that now prevails as it shows no signs of falling off and is operated on power. There have been few better wells in the history of the Indiana field.—Hartford City Telegram. Parents should consider it a duty as well as a privilige to visit their school. Thev have an interest there and should look after it. If they have suggestions to make they should make them to the teacher and not to the neighbors or to their children. On the whole if parents would do th“ir duty there would be little cause for trouble in the public schools throughout the county. If

Commissioner Evans says he is going t<> ask congress to order the publication of tne list of pensioner* with their address, disability and amount of penson. He says it will only catch the few Iranis there are and" will stop the cry of big frauds on the list. That is not a bad idea. The publication is good or ill according to its intent. It will pm those who have real but concealed disabilities in the right light, bm may be a little embarrassing to them. That they can stand it if it also brings on’ ai y that are reallv shamming. We believe there will not be many who have beaten the keen eyes of Uncle Ham’s board* and rules. Charges have bee" thrown around so recklessly lately about pension frauds that the publication ot roll seems to be the only way to settle it. So let it come. The Greate.tr Discovery Yet. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., “Chief,” says: “We won’t keep bouse without Dr King’s New Discovery for consumption,coughs and colds. Expenmeu'ed with many others, bus 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 have 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 bottle free at Page Blackburn’s drug store.
