This is the first time corn has got ahead of wheat in exports. Cheap Insurance. Many a man Jias been insured against Bright’s disease, diabetes, or other dangerous • ailment by a fifty cent bottle of Foley’s Kidney Cure. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m If some wise law maker would only secure the enactment of legislation providing for a meeting of the state legislature only every ten years, there would be a multitude of tax payers , and citizens rise up and call him blessed. The lingering cough following grippe calls for One Miiuite Cough (-ure. For all throat and lung troubles this is the only harmless remedy that gives immediate results prevents consumption. Smith, Yager A Falk, m Minnesota claims to have the tallest man in Louis Wilkins, born ou a farm near St. Paul, who is now 26 years old, weighs 364 pounds and lacks less than one meh of being nine feet high. St. Paul has produced either the tallest man or the tallest story. Eugene J. Hall, the poet and publisher, says that one dose of Honey and Tar restored his voice when hoarseness threatened to prevent his lecture at Central Music Hall, Chicago. Nothing else as good. Holthouse, Callow A Co. m Look at your nails, and if they blue your heart is rather weak, and you ought not to run upstairs or go for a bicycle ride. If on a calm clay you want to know in what direction the slightest current of air is moving, wet your finger and hold it up. It feels cool on the side when) the breeze strikes it, owing to the evaporation. Robert R. Watts, of Salem, Mo., writes: “I have been troubled with kidney disease for the last five years and have doctored with all the leading physicians and have tried all remedies suggested without any relief. Finally I used Foley’s Kidney Cure and less than two bottles completely cured me, and I am sound and well.’’ Holthouw, Callow A Co. m

There is a time in the career of every boy when he would rather be a ring-master at a circus than be president of the United States. All those indebted to M. Fallenkamp, are requested to call at the Old Adams County Bank, and settle same with Charles Niblick. 51tl Mrs. C. O. France entertained at her home in the south part of the city Friday evening in honor of Mrs. Shober, of Fort Wayne. When you are bilious, use those famous little pills known as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers to cleanse the liver and bowels. They never gripe. Smith, Yager & Falk. m If there is any girl in Adams county that would marry a man that don’t carry one of Hensiy’s gold watches; hold up your hand, not one. ts There is a good property on Fourth street that can be purchased for a small piece of money, when location and lot are given proper consideration.

Hamm, Agent. 49-6 More than 250 St. Louis boys have been sent away to join the navy in the last three weeks.

Forest of Chippewa Falls, Wis., “and spent hundreds of dollars in trviug to get it healed. Two boxes of Banuer Salye entirely cured it.” No other salve so healing. Holthunse, Callow & Co. in A late dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis.. says the city of Milwaukee has been systematically defrauded of a sum that may reach 8100,000. The robbery has Ix'en going on for years. Men prominent in financial circles, it is claimed, have been negotiating forged, counterfeit or raised city certificates. From this it.would appear that other places have their troubles as well as bleeding Kansas.

Banner Salve. Tetter, eczema and skin diseases yield quickly to the marvelous healing qualities of Banner Salve made from a prescription of a skin specialist of world wide fame. 25c. Holthouse, Callow A Co. m The mule is an animal that has many admirable points. His endurance is proverbial, his strength is remarkable, and his patience worthy of a song. But be is stubborn. Behind this consumate fault his many virtues are hidden. Horseless carriages, fuelless engines and the wireless telegraph are the greatest innovations. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is next and cures constipation, indigestion, sick headache and stomach trouble. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk. m The dog hater should take warning. August Koerwitz, of Lincoln, Neb., kicked at a dog with terrible results. He missed the dog, both feet went up into the air and he landed on the back of his neck. His neck was broken and death was instantaneous. An edict from a Chinese court directing a malefactor to meet himself in some quiet spot and commit suicide is not such a horrible thing after all, as it seem that the order is usually accompanied by a supplement instructing the victim to exercise due discretion. Counterfeits of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Saline are liable to cause blood poisoning. Leave them alone. The original has the name of DeWitt's upon the box and wrapper. It is a harmless aud healing salve for skin diseases. Unequalled for piles. Smith, Yager A Falk. m A lecturer on agriculture predicts that fifty years from now milk will lie sold in a dry state to save the transportation of water, that cows will be milked by machinery and butter produced without churning. The milkmaid must prepare to join the ranks of the new woman. Like Oliver Twist, children ask tor more when given One Minute Cough Cure. Mothers endorse it highly for croup. It quickly cures all coughs and colds and every throat and lung trouble. It is a specific for grippe and asthma and has long been a well known remedy for whooping cough. Smith, Yager A Falk. m

The Greencastle Banner points with apparent pride to a veteran tobacco chewer of that city who has chewed up and spit away a $4,000 farm. The man says, "I have been chewing tobacco for forty two years at the average rate of sls a year. If I had put this amount at interest each year I would today have $4,000, or enough to buy a farm."

Callow & Co. m The salmon packers complain that many people are deceived by partaking of canned catfish, under the impression that they are regaling themselves on salmon. Here’s where the catfish people make their mistake. It would be more profitable to put their g.xxls under the proper label. One can of catfish is worth two of salmon, at any time, the weights being equal. SCrkei a Rich Find. “1 waa troubled for several years with chronic indigestion and nervous debility,” writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N. H. “No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters, 'which did me more good than all the ’ medicine 1 ever used.

It may not be a bargain, but she will wear it longer if she thinks it is. Night her Terror. “I would cough nearly all night long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of Alexandria, Ind., and could hardly get any sleep.

A Good Cough Medicine for Children. “I have no hesitancy in recommending Chamlxulain’s Cough Hem edy,” says F. P. Moran, a well known and popular baker of Petersburg, Ya., “We have given it to our children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, and it has also given perfect satisfaction. It was recommended to me by a druggist as the best cough medicine for children as it contained no opium or other harmful drug.” Sold by Holthouse, Callow & Co. m It is reported that a man in Florence Kansas, who had one saloon wrecked by Nationists, is now having a Nationproof joint constructed with iron sides which is to be mounted on wheels and hauled under ground should a Nation cyclone too strong for its armor swoop down upon it. We judge that the joint is built somewhat like a schooner, for it is said to have port-holes. We may lie sure, however, that no such device will daunt Mrs. Nation. If necessary she will substitute the maxim gun for the hatchet. Remarkable Cures of Rheumatism. From the Vindicator, Rutherfordton. N. C.
