Memorial. Brother Jacob Buhler, Sr., departed this life February 2(5, 1898. He was born at Canton of Berne, Switzerland, on the 25th day of February, 1825. He had therefore reached the ripe old age of seventy-three years and one day. By reason of strength he had passed the three score years and ten. but ere hi* had reached the four score he closed his eyes and slept. Death comes alike to the good and the evil as rain falls upon the just and unjust. The warm heart which throbs for others woes, or the cold one which holds no sympathy, each must mould away and join their kindred dust. Death is insatiate. Brother Buhler was initiated into St. Marys Lodge, No. 167, 1. 0. 0. F., on the 25th day of October, 1875. During all his career as an Odd Fellow he was faithful to his obligation to deal with his fellow man in friendship, love and truth, and while in health he was a faithful attendant at the lodge meetings, thus promoting his own happiness and assisting his brethren and lodge by acts of mutual assistance. The memory of his kindly disposition and true manhood will ever live in the memory of those who knew him, and his good deeds have sown seed which will bring fourth an abundant harvest. We extend our warmest sympathies and fraternal affections to the family of the departed brother, who by this affliction have lost a faithful companion and father. G. Christen, ) J. F. Mann. Com. G. W. Woodward, ) jSEHHH Statistics show that ninetv-five per cent, of all persons engaged in business in the United States fail. Investigation shows that men who succeed are men of brains, strong nerves, great will-power. Ordinary food and drink can not supply the vital force which people with active brains and bodies who require. Bicola Pills feed the nerves, make the mind bright, muscles strong, make flesh and blood and new energy and give perfect manhood with all that perfect physical condition means Bicola Pills are a great tonic for women —they give health and strength to the special organs and nerve centers. The Turners of Philadelphia, make Bicola Pills. J.E Buckey, Chief Clerk National Hotel. Washington. D. C., testifies a-* follows: “I was all run down, had no appetite, was troubled with sleeplessness, pains in the iu*ad. was a shadow of my former self.

Columbus, Ind., March 7. —William Knight, whose wife was killed by a gunshot wound Feb. 23, was, late Saturday, indicted by the grand jury of Bartholomew county for murder in the first degree.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or selling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or lx*er. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of lieing compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail. Mention Decatur Demixrat and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghampton, N. Y. The proprietor of this office guarantees the genuiness of this offer.

PUBLISH fIY LETTER So That Women Hay Know Where to Find Relief. Such is tin* request of Mrs. L. M. Haynes, Springfield, Mo., (General delivery). A part of Mrs, Haynes' letter roads as follows: “I wrote to you in May, 1897; I was about to give it up, for I had the best four doctors IF® in the city and W F they could not /X 1 cure me. My dis- A ease was female weakness. I had *• x / been troubled * / / with it for five years. Four and a half bottles of Pe-ru-na cured me. I hope all suffering women will take Pe-ru-na. I know it will cure others also. I cannot praise Pe-ru-na enough.” Bear in mind that female weakness is pelvic catarrh, to which women are peculiarly liable, and from which few are entirely exempt. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wherever located. “Health and Beauty,” a book devoted to the phase of catarrh peculiar to vomen will be sent free to any woman by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com--1 any, Columbus, Ohio.
