Hall’s Family Pills are the best. n The largest corn crop ever reported for the state, according to estimates by the Indiana bureau of statistics, is that of this year, the yield having been estimated at 151,245,804 bushels. The reports likewise show that the crop is more nearly a merchantable one than any other crop within recent years. The average production of the several counties of the state is unusually high. Twenty-six and onehalf bushels to the acre is reported as having been the lowest yield in any one county; the larrgest yield is reported from Tipton county —fifty-six bushels an acre. “Altogether, the corn crop of Indiana is the greatest in the history of the state,” the bulletin of the bureau of stastics says. “The aggregate yield ranges from 5,226,615 bushels in Warren county, to 379,356 bushels in Floyd county. The average yield of the latter county, however, is thirty-three bushels to the acre. The crop of oats is also said to be one of the largest and best in quality of any in several years. The area was not quite 1,000,000 acres,but the yie'd was 36,801:186 bushels. Laporte county leads in the oats yield. The yield of timothy and clover is estimated to have been a little above the average. The area of wheat sown in the state is estimated at a little below 3,000,000 acres. A greater average was sown, but owing to the hard winter, 397,644 acres were blown up and put to other crops last spring. Get your share. —Are you getting your share of the vast amount of money spent in advertising? It used to be all given to the publishers of newspapers and magazines, but by the latest method it is freely distributed among themselves; that is, among those who are alert and quick, and can see an'advantage when it is offered them. One of the most successful establishments in America, the Woolson Spice Company of Toledo. Ohio, is spending thousands of dollars in advertising the Lion Coffee, and they are paying out this money directly to the people who purchase the coffee. Their plan is to enclose in their onepound package of Lion Coffee a most attractive Premium List. So costly are some of the articles on this Premium List that one wonders how they can afford to give them away with their goods; but it must be remembered that these premiums are bought in enormous quantities and bought directly of the manufacturers, so that thev are secured at about one-fourth the price the retail consumer pays. No profit is paid to shipper, wholesaler or retailer; the goods are all bought at first hand. This method of introducing Lion Coffee is as if you wanted to purchase some article for which you would have to pay 81.00; the proprietors of Lion Coffee buy it for you for 25c. and then give it to you for the trouble that you take in letting them know you are using their coffee. The housekeeper who is alive to the value of her patronage may now, bv a little trouble, secure many desiralile articles from time to time at no cost. All that she has to do is to cut out and preserve the Lion head which appears on the wrapper of every package of Lion lion heads are received by the W oolson Spice Company in pay for their premiums. The new Premium list which has just been issued m connection with Lion Coffee is unsurpassed in its liberality. Some of the most attractive articles on the market today Xincluded in this list. It is evident that the Woolson Spice Company places great value on the recommendation of a satisfied customer, for they lielieve the best advertising ' Coffee is where some one who uses i tells a friend of its good quality. It K mostly in this way that its enormous sale has’been brought about, people are so delighted with it that they feel it a duty to recommend it to R g <nv 1 ion Coffee is almost unsurtetter lan many other P nce . nf coffee Which cost two or brands of conee■ geem this famous beverage.

A smooth duck is doing Indiana towns with a trick that lays tho gold spectacle man in the shade. He goes well dressed, talks nice, but is in a whole lot of trouble. He is very anxious to be in some other stare, but is busted, and is willing to part with a fine gold watch for almost nothing. He has his clothes full of watches and they cost him 82.15. 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 continually 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 mv life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to trv them. Onlv 50 cts., guaranteed, at Page Blackburn’s drug store.

After residing . there until manhood, he emigrated to j Ohio, thence to Jefferson township, I Adams county, Indiana, reaching the ■, latter place in 1863. This was his!, , chosen home ever afterwards until'' death called him away. His death '■ ’ occurred about 1 o’clock Thursday morning, Nov. 9. 1899, aged 71 years , . and one day. Funeral services at Mt. . Carmel church by Rev. Gilespie, of . near Ft. Wayne, on Friday morning : at 10 o’clock. His remains were laid to rest in Loofborough cemetery, Jeff- ( erson township. Mr. Showalter was a ' member of the Christian church, be- j ing one of the charter members of the Elm Grove class. From the time of his becoming a member until death, , he had lived a true and faithful chris- [ tian life. He was married three times. His first and second wives proceeded him to their home beyond. He was 1 married to his third wife, who survives i him, about 9 years ago. She has been i a true and devoted wife through his declining years and a faithful attendant until death. Mr. Showalter was one of the pioneers of Jefferson township. His acquaintance was very large and he was respected by all. The people of that township have lost a neighbor whose place will be hard to fill, he being an ideal citizen always ready to aid his fellowmen in everyway. He will be missed by all.
