The colored man who has been polishing up the russet shoes for the senators at Indianapolis is down with the smallpox, and there is considerable alarm felt among the statesmen. A little girl in Kosciusko county one cold morning recently, put her tongue to a frosty wagon tire, and jerked back so quickly that a large patch of skin was torn from the under side of her tongue.

We shudder to think of what his fate would be had he stoled three appes. Next to not paying for your newspaper, a western editor says we think there will be more men go to hell for leaving their horses out in the rain and snow than anything else. The Supreme Court of Indiana has handed down a decision that it is a violation of the state statutes for a bicycle rider to ride on sidewalks. A bicycle is also defined as a vehicle. There are many curious things sold in Russian makets, and one can buy eels and snakes and chicken legs. Lamb's feet are sold as a great dainty, and calve’s feet are bought for soup. The fellow who will tie a horse so that it cannot get its head more than a foot from the.ground, and let it stand this way for two or three hours, ought to have a sermon delivered to him on "horse sense."

The following from an exchange is a gem and is good enough for all to follow: "Hear everything but say ' nothing. Trust no one with your busi- | ness or private affairs. Remember that your friend has a friend, and your friend’s friend has a friend, and thus there is an endless chain of friends. Therefore be discreet." I A wealthy Tipton county fanner traded his horse the other day for a monument, thinking he was about to ; die with the grip. He recovered and I went to Kokomo and asked the dealer i to trade back, saying he needed the ; horse now worse than the monument. The dealer was good natured and con[sented. Here's something to think about. [ A man owed SI and had but 75 cents. He went to a pawn broker and pawned j 75 cents for fifty cents. He met a i friend and sold him the pawn ticket j calling for 75 cents for 50 cents. He | thus had two 50 cent pieces, $1 in fact, J with which he paid his debt. Was , anybody out, and how much ?

They all sell them at the same price and "all bring home the same amount of money. How much did they sell them for, and how much did they bring home?

There is not a single heating stove in the city, nor an ice factory. Hot water wells only a few miles out supply a uniform heat, and the entire city is piped from one end to the other to heat the buildings; more than that, ice cold well only a short distance from the hot ones, supply it with water to cold too require ice even in the hottest days of midsummer.

A handy and sure relief from such trouble is what you want and this is found in Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin which cures constipation, indigestion and sick headache.

Holthouse, Callow & Co. 47t3 A disease known as “brown tick" is raging to some extent in neighboring counties. A man near Angola recently lost a number of hogs that were invested with this parasite, that appeared to enter the flesh at the root of the hair, and there seemed to be a tick for each hair on the animal, especially on the body. The hogs becomes nearly frantic and will not eat. A thorough bathing of the afflicted hogs with crude petroleum seemed to give relief, as the hogs returned to their feed. An honest medicine for lagrippe George W. Waitt of South Gardiner, Me., says: “I have had the worst cough, cold, chills and grip and have taken lots of trash of no account but profit to the vendor.

I congratulate the manufacturers of an honest medicine.” For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. f An enterprising editor of an exchange has been interviewing the inhabitants of his town. He finds that nearly all of the successful business men were freely “threshed by their parents when young, while of the street loafers, twenty-seven were mamir. -’s darlings, and the other three were raised by their grandmothers."

Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucuous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

A writer in the Chicago TimesHerald says that colds can be avoided altogether. He asserts that anyone with ordinary horse sense can avoid taking cold’ by exercising care in eating. This writer says that no hungry man ever caught cold no matter what exposure he was subjected to. His cure for colds is to stop eating. There is one striking thing about the fellow’s prescription and that is, it is cheap. It costs nothing to try it. A very deceptive optical illusion is accomplished by the use of a large china plate. Sitting on one side of the table you rest the plate on your knees so that about one-third of it shows above the table. Take a knife in both hands and rest it on the plate. If you now lower and raise the knees alternately, quickly and evenly, it gives a motion to the plate, as if it was actually revolving around. In fact, it is so illusive that to the operator himself it has that same appearance. The habit of throwing around sample packages of medicine for advertising purposes is a dangerous one. and should be prohibited. The medicines, applied to the uses for which they are intended, may be all right, but frequently they fall into the hands of those for whom they are not intended. Several days ago a package of pills was thrown on the porch of an Elwood residence. A child ate several of the pills, which was followed by convulsions. A physician saved the child’s life with some difficulty, A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try' it who has lame back and weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constipation, headache, fainting spells, sleeplessnes and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and restores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed.

Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain conI ti'nually in back and sides, no appetite, gradually growing weaker day 'by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying’Electric Bitters'; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50c per bottle at Page Blackburn’s drug store. A. R.

Would You Like to Know of some Reliable Person out of Town who has Used .Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids and Recommends Them. So much has been said about Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids and their many virtues by people living here and near here, that we sometimes feel that Kid-ne-oids may have but a local reputation in the minds of many. This is not so, Kid-ne-oids are doing a wonderful work all over the country Kansas. Missouri, lowa, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and many other states. The several states are being worked by our agents systematically, and it takes not only months but years to cover the territory we would so much like to cover iii weeks. When the good news reaches a city or town that Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids, which are small Yellow Tablets, (not pills.) care Kidney diseases. bladder disorder uric acidrheumrtism, aches and pains, such as arise from a disordered condition of the kidneys, they wonder what this remedy is and how long it has been on the market. When we say we have made Kid-ne-oids for years, and we have recommendations by the thousands, they naturally think we are falsifiers because they never heard of them. The old maxium “A thing worth doing at all is worth doing well," is our motto—consequently we cannot cover or go over the whole country at once. The power of Morrow’s Kid-ne-oids has been felt wherever they have been used, and so they always will. We would respectively direct your attention to D. A. Woods, attorney, residence 121 South Main street, Kokomo. Ind. Mr. Woods has used Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with such great results that he has of his own freewill volunteered to reply to all who will write him full information, enclosing a two cent stamp for return postage. This can be readily seen, will cause Mr. Woods lots of trouble and work, but he does it for the sake of suffering humanity. Druggists all sell it at 50 cents a box, or mailed by John Morrow A Co..
