What character is there in the Bible who has no name, who' suffered death in different form from any inflicted before or since that time, a portion of whose shroud is in every household, and the cause of whose death has been made famous by a j modern author* Answer: Lot's wife, she posesses no name.no one else met' death through being turned into a pillar of salt, salt is in every house- | hold. Edward Bellmay wrote "Looking Backward.” sioo Reward >ioe. The readers of this paper will be j pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the i medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con-1 stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces i of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving 1 the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, O.

Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complexion.

Wheeler's staff and who was recently designated as Indiana commander of the Spanish-Amer-ican War Veterans, Wednesday received an application for the first camp of Spanish-American Veterans to be organized in Indiana. The camp will have headquarters at Fort Wayne and will lye known as Henry W. Lawton Camp. The camp starts with 116 members. There is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and efficient cures make it a favorite wdth mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Indiana, to the amount of $68.37, we'll say that Conrad Gillig did not get a cent of said money in his hands. That said receipt for 568.37 was by mistake signed by J no.
