You Imagine 'A fSjp~K' = j| w ws TO W if Big values can be secured only for big prices!.. Then you do not know Our Shoes ...nor... Our Prices.

If taken in the earlier stages of Bright’s dis- < ease and dialretes, it is a certain cure. You have noticed the high death rate from these diseases, and it is not wise to ignore early symptoms when a sure medicine like Foley's Kidnev Cure can be had. Holthouse, Callow & Co. a I

There is a difference, and that difference is that from childhood up we are taught to always look out for “No. 1” (self) and let all others do the same way. Some people are successful in following this rule, because they have the nerve to enforce it, while a timid individual who really desires to be honest, has not the courage to cheat or rob his friends. Notice—We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to refund the money on two 25 cent bottles orboxesof Baxter’s Mandrake Bitter*;, if it fails to cure constipation, billiousness, sick-head-ache, jaundice, loss of appetite, sour stomach, dyspepsia, liver complaint, or any of the diseases for which it is recommended.

One package of either guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. Page Blackburn. ts The finding of oil at Pana, 111., has excited Indiana oil men, a number of whom have gone there to prospect the field. Many are of the opinion that the wells are of the same formation as the field in Jasper county, and that some day there will be found a connection between the fields of Kansas and those of Indiana. Years ago oil was found in paying quantities in Illinois, near Paris, just across the Indiana line. It now looks as though the entire Kankakee Valley will develop into one of the largest fields on the western hemishpere. No Ritfht to Cgliness. The woman who is lovely in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will )ye nervous and irritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, her impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. 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. It will make a good-looking, charming woman of a run-down invalid. Only 50 cents at Page Blackburn's drug store. A Paulding county poet reflects as follows on the rain: "A short time since the cow was sad. she scarce could raise her head. Ire gad; her hoofs were sore, her tail was limp, her mane and bangs lost their crimp, and miles she trudged from grass to drink with scarcely strength enoughtowink. The owner? too, looked blue and glum and cursed the cattle business some; but since the rain the grass is tall, the cow can raise her head and bawl; her hide is sleek, no bones protrude, she prances like an euglish dude. God bless the rain, the gentle rain, it makes a man feel young again.” His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a proment citizen of Hanibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: “I was taken with typhoid fever, that run into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Discovery. One bottle gave me great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvelous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all throat and lung trouble. Regular size 50 cents and si .00. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. Every bottle guaranteed. Adams county oil field continues to expand. Test after test was made east of Geneva covering a period of several years, and the result was insignificant only for the loss to the plunger who ventured. Finally but a few months ago oil was found about a half mile east of town and now wherever the drill goes down the es feet it seems is rewarded with a paying product. The latest extension to the field is a well on the Heinbarger farm four miles east of the town by C. C. Harris and Company, which will most certainly start off at not less than two hundred barrels per day.— Bluffton News. »ioo Reward. Sioo. The readers of this paper will Ire 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 Catnnh. H’ill's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s C atarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces 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. 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 a list of testimonials. Address F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo.

Fred Reppert, auctioneer. November 6, 1899. Syrup Ppesin Co. Dear Sirs:—-I feel it my duty to write to you and let you know how much good your medicine has done for me. Twenty throe years ago I was taken with some kind of stomach trouble and I tried everything I heard of. They did me but little good. Three years ago neuralgia set in on me and I got so poor and weak that I could hardly walk- couldn’t work anv. My husband received a book through the mail, advertising your medicine, and he sent our little boy to the drug store to get one of your tencent bottles. I began to use it. It is strange to say, but it's the truth, the second dose I took gave me lots of relief. I kept on using it until I used it nearly one year and now I am nearly as strong as I used to lie and can do any kind of work. I recommend to all. for it seems to me it would cure anybody. I have gotten several to use Syrup Pepsin and they all say it has done them so much good. God bless Dr. Caldwell and his medicine for doing me so much good. Yours with respect, Mrslsabell Whele, Freetown. Jackson county. Ind. Sold by Smith, Yager A Falk. a Manager Bosse has booked for Wednesday evening, Sept. 5, the great railroad melodrama Lincoln J. Carter's “Fast Mail,” which will be given a grand scenic production, that in many respects promises to lie one of the most remarkable ever in this citv. The incidents are made doubly thrilling by the mechanical and scenic effects that are employed. There is the rattle and clatter of a patrol wagon as it comes down the street, whistles, liells, etc., of the Mississippi steamboat leaving the wharf, moonlight effects on the river, the glowing fur nace of the boat, and the explosion and breaking up of the steamer. A gigantic piece of real water scenery is presented in the Niagara Falls scene, where the enormous cataract is represented with the roar of the water, the seething foam and the rising mist. A freight train of fourteen cars is run across the stage. The caboose is lighted and the engine carries the engineer and fireman. It is everywhere acknowledged to be an unsurpassed achievement in railroad scenic effect. The company is highly spoken of and the play is well constructed, with a strong range of comedy to offset the serious elements. A Minister's Good Work. “1 had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle cf Chamberlain’s Cholic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured,” says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan “My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, them called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over .to see him the next morning. He said bis bowels were in a terrible fix, that thev had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if ho had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said. ‘No. I went home and brought him my Ixittle and gave him one dose: told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not feel relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured.” Sold by Holthouse, Callow A Co. a

.McCormick Wins at Paris. The McCormick Harvesting Machine Company of Chicago, has been awarded the Grand Prize on harvesting machines at the Paris Exposition. This is the highest award. The McCormick Uompanv has also received the highest award, a gold medal, for binder twine, for the superior quality of its product. Special twine machinery from the celebrated McCormick twine mill was exhibited to the jury and awarded a medal. The McCormicks have received the largest number of awards, as well as the highest awards made to any exhibitor. In addition to the grand prize on machines and a gold medal on twine they received two medals into sjiecial parts for machines; in the department of machinery a uiedal for factory machinery, and also silver and bronz medals in other classes, six medals in all, besides the grand prize. The International juries of the Exposition have recognized the great revolution wrought by McCormick machines and this large number of awards is a great triumph for America. In addition to wining these awards, the gold medal and 200 francs, the single highest award for binders, was easily won by the McCormick Binder at the field trial at Coulommiers on July, 19, against all comers. This is the greatest and most important trial held in r rance during the Exposition year.
