Smith, Yager & Falk. m The sale of whiskey in Louisville brokers week before last was 15,000 barrels. The work of Mrs. Carrie Nation and her hatchet in Kansas does not seem to have materially affected the whiskey market in “Old Kentuck.” The lingering cough following grippe calls for One Minute Cough Cure.

Smith, Yager & Falk. 111 The oil that escaped from the Beaumont, Texas, monster oil well and formed a lake of oil on the lease, was to have been burned by the owner but a spark from a railroad engine saved them the trouble. It set fire to the oil and the flames raged for fortyeight hours. 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.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. m

But this does not include the subsidies. 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 & Co. m The mortality of the G. A. R. the past year shows 10,899 deaths, the most in one year since the order was established. Ten years ago the membership was about 400,489, and now it is reduced by deaths to about 276,600. Headache often results from a disordered condition of the stomach and constipation of the bowels.

Schirmeyer, Decatur, Ind. 9tf A soldier from New Jersey, who is serving in the Philippines, has discovered a gold mine on the island of Mindanao.

Two boxes of Banner Salve entirely cured it.” No other salve so healing. Holthoiise, Callow & Co. m A Decatur man has figured it out that if every person who attends the Pan-American exposition would give him one cent that he would be rich and none of them would be any the poorer. The only trouble he has is in knowing how to put this idea into operation, or in other words to collect the coppers. A Horrible Outbreak “Os large sores on my little daughter’s head developed into a case of scald head” writes C. D. Isbill of Morganton, Tenn., but Buckleu's Arnica Salve completely cured her. It's a guaranteed cure for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, pimples, sores, ulcers and piles. Only 25 cents at Page Blackburn’s. m An Ohio farmer suggests that the legislature pass a law forbidding the sowing of wheat for one year. The promoter of this idea says that much of the wheat crop is again killed by the fly, and this will be the experience of Ohio fanners as long as they continue to sow wheat, unless all will quit for one year and thus get rid of the pest. The stomach controls the situation. Those who are hearty and strong are those who can eat and digest plenty of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and allows you to eat all the good food you want. If you suffer from indigestion, heartburn, belching or any other stomach trouble, this preparation can’t help but do you good. The most sensitive stomachs can take it. Smith. Yager A Falk, m And now we have the Janice Mere dith curl. Any gentleman who sees a lock of a girl’s hair dangling over her shoulder need not warn her that her tresses are coming down. She is simply indulging in the new fashion one long languishing, lonesome ring let which has "escaped from confinement,” as the novelists say. It is supposed to lie particularly bewitch ing so much so that in talking to a man it is proper to make sure that the love-locks trail over her shoulder nearest to his eye. Remarkable Cures of Rheumatism. From the Vindicator, Rutherfordton. N. C. The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder from which he suffered excruciating pain for ten days, which was relieved with two applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant benefit and entire relief in a very short time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved with two applications, rubbing with the liniment on retiring at night, and getting up free ■ from pain.

Yager & Falk. m When asked how he liked Roosevelt as vice president, Hanna said: “First rate. He acts in a businesslike manner and will do good work. He handles himself creditably for one who has just taken hold. It’s not an easy one to fill.” What Hanna says must lie true, nit. 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 & Falk. m County Auditor Monroe of Delaware county, has distinguished himself by assaulting Judge O. J. Lotz, of Muncie, in the streets, knocking him down.

It would greatly interest the orthodox people whom Bob used to deride to know how Bob ever “got to the front" on the other shore. The medium's announcement is one which calls for stronger corroborative evidence than an affidavit. A Good Cough Medicine for Children. “I have no hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,” says F. P. Moran, a well known and popular baker of Petersburg. Va.. “We have given it to our children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, and it has also given perfect satisfaction.

Usually a racking cough and a genera] feeling lof weakness. Foley’s Honey and Tar is guaranteed to cure the “grippe cough” and make you strong and well. Take no substitutes. Holthouse, Callow A Co ni We have Admiral Sampson’s word for it that he is a gentleman. But we also have Sampson’s word for it that he is entitled to the credit of having whipped Cervera. Eugene J. Hall, the poet and pub lisher, 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. tn An exchange tells of a young man who recently received a letter from his out-of-town “steady,” and in it he was told to “look under the stamp on the envelope.” The young man spent an hour steaming that letter, and when he finally got the stamp off he read: “Was it hard to get off?” Walhalla, N.

So far there is not one in operation in this state, but it is not unlikely that much more time will be lost until such a plant is doing business somewhere in Indiana. Mr. J. W. Patterson, night police at Nashua, la., says: “In January I had a very bad cold on my lungs, and used half dozen different cough medicines and prescriptions from two doe tors, but grew worse all the time. I finally bought a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar and after using twothirds of it. I was entirely cured.” Holthouse, Callow A Co. m If Andrew Carnegie complies with the requests of all the towns that want him to help them erect public libraries he will have no difficulty in getting rid of his savings before he dies, enormous though they may be. If any attention is paid to the requests Mr. Carnegie must employ several clerks to look after the library ' end of his benefactions. Logansport is the last Indiana town to go after a share of Mr Carnegie's millions. Good Advice. - The most miserable beings in the world are those suffering from dyspepsia and liver complaint.

“Secretary Hurty of the state board of health.' - says the Indianapolis Press, is angry at Speaker Artman j because the latter refused to hand down on its passage the bill creating I a state laboratory after it had passed the senate. ‘This means,’ said Dr. Hurty. ‘that the people must continue to suffer from much disease and death which would have been prevented and must also continue to enduro huge money losses, about $15,000 per day. on account of buying adulterated food.” ’• A Good Thing.
