Houses robbed, safes cracked, men stopped on the street and other instances of their boldness are on the record. Is it not time our council took some measures to stop the nuisances ? The latest swindle reported is that of a fellow going the rounds with a supply of Lima beans saturated with oil of cinnamon, which he sells at 10 cents apiece, with the story that his brother sent a quantity from Manila, and they area sure protection against moths. An Ohio woman has patented a match box for pocket use, which is opened at the bottom to load, the matches being pushed out one at a time by a button on the side of the safe, the head coming last and passing over a roughened surface to ignite it. The States in which the deathj penalty is forbidden by law are Colorado, Rhode Island, Maine. Michigan and Wisconsin. In Rhode Island the only alternative is imprison ■ ment for life. In Kansas, the signai ture of the Governor is necessary to I an execution. A noted traveler who has just re- ■ turned from abroad, says that if the i United States desires to form an al- ; lianee with some foreign power, that Russia is by far more desirable than 1 England, and that in time it will become tin greatest power upon the European continent. A Sicilian tribunal has just sentenced a noted forger to imprisoment for 189 years. The culprit had passed himself off as an advocate, and in that guise committed sixty-three different acts of serious fraud, having even stolen for a short time the seal of the chancelor of the court. The outlook for the farmers is good, in fact was never lietter. Among other pleasing indications is the fact that the people across the water are learning that corn products furnish an admirable food for human beings, and the largest and best corn belt in the world is the United States. The Canadian Government has purchased 140 Esquimaux dogs for shipment to the Klon like region, where the canines will be used to carry the mails. The animals were imported from Greenland and Labrador at a cost of §SO each, and were j selected for their superiority in speed, I training and weight.

What a druggist says: Stewardson, 111.. Aug. 5, 1897. Gents: Will say that I have used your Syrup Pepsin in my family and consider it the best medicine for stomach and bowel j troubles that I have ever used.

In Hendricks county the names of all the people aided by the trustees are published with the commissioners, allowances. Since that has been done it is said the amounts appropriated for that purpose are only one-third what they were Itefore. The beautiful star which nowdominates the hosts of heaven every morn- ■ ing in the eastern sky is the planet I Venus. Just now it is at its brighest, and when the sky is clear and people | know where to look for it, it can be | plainly seen long after the sun is up. Rev. Sam Small who has utterly . failed as a preacher of the gospel of 1 Jesus Christ, has also failed in a financial way, although the Marion Chronicle is of the opinion that he must be something of a financier to have incured so much indebtedness on so little capital. Two smooth individuals swindled I several of Mansfield’s citizens by selling them fake valves, for gas meters, which they claimed would check the the gas from returning by the meter and registering again Various amounts, ranging from §2.50 to §5 were paid for the valves. Rheumatism Cured in a Day. “Mystic Cure” for rheumatism and neuralgia radically cures in 1 to 3 days. Its action upon the system is remarkable and mysterious. It removes at once the cause and the disease immediately disappears. The first dose greatly benefits. 75 cents. Sold by Smith & Yager, Druggists, Decatur. Divine Healer Schrader, who was in Indiana last summer, tried to ride from Chicago to St. Louie on his bicycle and almost froze to death. Some farmer near Bloomington, 111., found him in a stack of corn and took him to the house and he now claims it was his own sanctity that brought the men to his aid. Muncie dispatches say: Muncie pork eaters had their nerves shocked the other day with the announcement that an enterprising stock raiser has for two years past been fattenming hundreds of porkers on the carcasses of dead horses collected in Muncie and vicinity, with no regard as to what disease caused the horse’s death. Policeman Pat Hannon, of Summitvillle, charged with manslaughter,, growing out of the cremation of Fred Barton, of Anderson, while a prisoner in the Summitville calaboose, has been acquitted, the evidence showing that he did his duty in making his arrest, and that he was not responsible for the fire which consumed the building and Mr. Barton. Window Cliffs. Tenn., May 18, ’9B. I had been suffering a long time with liver and kidney trouble, and was unable to move myself in my l>ed. Finally I procured two bottles of Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. As I finished the second I became able to go about my work as usual. I gladly recommend it. W. T. Massa. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. j An electrician in Lockport, N. Y., who was shocked by a current of 900 volts, says he felt no sensation whatever. He saw a blinding Hash and I was thrown violently to the floor. After staggering to his feet he fainted, j He says his brain seemed to be par- } Hally paralyzed, and everything around was a dreamlike, but he felt , no pain, though his hands and ankles I were badly burned. Recommended for lagrippe. N. I Jackson, Danville, 111., writes: My daughter had a severe attack of la- . grippe seven years ago and since then ■ whenever she takes cold a terrible I cough settles on her lungs. We tried ' a great many remedies without giving relief. She tried Foley’s Honev and Tar which cured her. She has never lieen troubled with a cough since. 25c. Holthouse, Callow & Co. j There is talk of introducing a bill and making a law compelling an attendance at Sunday schools. Sunday schools are good institutions but compulsory attendance on them would be in conflict with the constitution of the United States in spirit if not in letter. Such a law could not be enforced so then it were better to not burden the statue books of the state with it. “I Was Weak, Nervous and Run Down.” I want to testify to the goal Brown’s Cure has done me. I was weak, nervous and run down in vitality when I commenced taking it; it has done everything for me and I am now a new being. A number of my friends also speak with gratitude of the goal your medicine has done them -it is indeed Jagrand remedy. Yours Gratefully, Mrs. L. V. Criig, 907 Mass. Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. Two more cases of smallpox have developed in the ranks of the 161st Indiana Volunteers who are now at Havana. The infected men have been taken away from the others and every care is lieing taken to avoid anything like an epidemic of the disease. Col. Durbin and his men are not alarmed over the disease and think it will be but a short time until it will be completely stamped out. All cases thus far are light and it is thought no serious form of the ailment will develop. How to Look Good. Goal looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look; if your stomach is disordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if vour kidneys are effected, you have a pinched la>k. Secure goal health, and you will surely have goal looks. “Electric Bitters" is a good alternative and tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches and boils, and gives a goal complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.

Every actor in the entertainment to j be given at the opera house tonight is well known here. As pleasant as Maple Syrup. Most' remedies have something unpleasant to the taste and in consequence many people, especially children, dread the dose and put off entirely or delay the taking of the meidcine that can do them good. Not so with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin everyboly likes the taste and when taken it will cure constipation and all kinds of stomach troubles. In 10c, 50 and §I.OO sizes of Holthouse, Callow & Co. j The Waterloo Press very properly says: It is a good time ;'t the close of the year to settle with al. parties with whom you have done bu i iess.

If you can't pay cash, settle and carry over the balance so that no misunderstanding may arise. How to prevent pneumonia. Y’ou are perhaps aware that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of lagrippe. During the epidemic of lagrippe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that disease when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or lagrippe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in the world forbad colds and lagrippe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. j Charles Howard, George Davis and Charles Hughes, the supposed Dun kirk postoffice robbers, had their preliminary hearing liefore Unital States Commissioner Reever, at Richmond, Thursday. A number of witnesses were examined, the defendants’ pleas of “ot guilty” entered, after which they were bound over to await the action of the federal grand jury which j meets at Indianapolis next May. The trio were taken to Indianapolis for confinement until the grand jury meets. Lagrippe successfully treated. “I have just recovered from the second attack of lagrippe this year,” says Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the Leader. Mexia, Texas. “In the latter case I used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and I think with considerable success, only being in bed a little over two days against ten days for the i former attack. The second attack I am satisfied would have l>een apially as bad as the first but for the use of tins remedy as I had to go to bed in about six hours after being .struck’ with it, while in the first case I was able to attend to business alxmt two days liefore getting ‘down.’ " For sale by Holthouse, Callow A Co. j

Do you carry enough insurance to protect fliose depending upon you ? DO YOU ... CARRY ANY AT ALL? In either case you will find it greatly to your advantage to examine the plans of policies now issued by the METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. OF NEW YORK. They are adapted to all stations of life and to all possible requirements: To the man of limited means who seeks the largest amount of protection for the least outlay, To the man who seeks temporary protection for his family, To the man who wants them permanently protected, To the man who wants to provide for his own old age, To the man who wants to give his children a start in life. To the man who has a mortgage to pay off, In fact, to all ami everything that Life Insurance can be made legitimate use of. Policies are issued in sums from §I,OOO to §50,000. They are liberal in all their terms, clear in all their provisions, contain no restriction as to travel or residence, I and provide for the immediate pay- , ment of claims on receipt of satisfactory proof of death, they make equitable allowance for paid up Insurance after the third year, and provide that after three years a stated sum, clearly cited in the policy, may be borrowed of the company at 5 per cent, they are incontestable after two years, in short they are plain business contracts that tell their whole story upon their face; leave nothing to the imagination, (dividends) borrow nothing from hope, and make definite promises in dollars and cents.
