S. P. Beatty arrived home from Marion Saturday. Representative Henry Dirkson was in town Saturday looking up constituents. Farmers Bring your loose hay to my stable near G. R. <& I. and get the highest cash price. H. H. Hart. 2-2 Secrets are poor property. If you circulate them you lose them and if you keep them you lose interest in them. There is a great deal being said these days aliout trusts, but it is just as hard as ever for a poor fellow to get trusted. If there is any girl in Adams county that would marry a man that don’t carry one of Hensly’s gold watches; hold up your hand, not one. ts Notice is hereby given that the office day of the trustee of Kirkland township will be Monday of each week at my home. Win. D. Hoffman, Trustee. «9m6 Paulding is agitated over the finding of a human foot in the basement of the public school building. It is possibly a twin to “the handwriting on the wall.” Cheap Insurance. Many a man has been insured against Bright's disease, diabetes, or other dangerous ailment by a fifty cent liottle of Foley’s Kidney Cure. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m The will of a New York woman directed that her body lie kept in a warm room five days after her death, wheather for fear of being buried alive or a desire to get acclimated was not stated. After LaGrippe What’ Usually a racking cough and a general feeling of weakness. Foley’s Honey and Tar is guaranteed to cure the “grippe cough” and make you strong and well. Take no substitutes. Holthouse. Callow & Co m “If not careful in vctir kissing,” says a Wstern K msas paper, "you are liable to catch the smallpox.” And that isn't all of it. A man who isn't careful in his kissing is liable to catch almost anything from a slapped jaw to a charge of buckshot. Changes in the weather means slight “sjiells" of headache or affect VOtif at’tietite Irr>‘go!-'rdtn. ;■> in;- ■•ati.-.e dvr:;epsia. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and feel good regardless of these elements or habits. Sold by Smith. Yager A Falk. in March is the month of blows. The wind !■! ws, the thermometer goes lx? low, which strikes a chilling blow to the man whose coal is below: you cutch cold and vour nose you blow, and for medicine your hard earned money blow, and without good care you go below. “I had a running sore on my leg ftr seven years,” writes Mrs. Jas'. For est of Chippewa Falls, Wis., “and spent hundreds of dollars in trying to get it healed. Two boxes of Banner Salve entirely cured it." No other salve so healing. Holthotise. Callow & Co. ni It was said at Indianapolis Wednesday by friends of Senator Fleming, of Ft. Wayne, that he would lie a candidate for state treasurer two years hence, if the chance for the democratic party grow brighter. Fleming’s father was at one time state treasurer, and it is said that the son is anxious to fol--1 >w in bis footsteps. Walhalla, N. D., Mar. 15, 1898. For loss of appetite, general debility and convalescence after any illness,’ there is nothing so beneficial as Dr. J. H. McLean’s Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier. lam enjoying vigor ous health from its use. E. A. Sharpe. For sale by Holt house, Callow & Co. m A new tea company has just bought 6,000 acres of land in Colleton county, South Carolina, intending to raise tea for the market. The company paid •820.000 for the land and will plant but 100 acres this season, as it is now rather late to begin the preparation of the gßiund.

George McKean returned from i Bluffton Saturday noon. Gravel road meeting at Kohr school I house next Saturday evening at 7:30 • o’clock. | Henry Koeneman and wife are re- | joicing over the arrival of a baby girl j at their house. j How are you, anyway? Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a perfect laxa- | tive. Sold by Smith, Ynger& Falk, m Frank Bell, Fred Patterson, and Bart France were at Fort Wayne last Thursday to hear Sousa's baud. I will pay the highest cash price for loose hay delivered at my stable near G. R. & I.depot. H. H. Hart. 2-2 As an escaper of perilous positions Gen. DeWet comes very uear to, if he does not hold the world’s championship. Mrs. M. B. Miller of Washington, D. C., arrived in town last Friday and is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. L. G. Ellingham. See that you get the original Witch Hazel Salve when you ask for it. The genuine is a certain cure for piles, sores and skin diseases. Smith, Yager A Falk. m J. H. Word, Justice of the Peace of Kirkland township, will make out your exemption blanks in proper form. Collecting promptly attended to. Call and see him. 2-4 A woman can preserve her own secrets better than those of another. A man, on the contrary, can keep a secret of somone else better than for himself. Their promptness and their pleasant effects make DeWitt's Little Early Risers most popular little pills wherever they are known. They are simply perfect for liver and bowel trouble. Smith, Yager & Falk. m Snow has visited unusual places this season. It has fallen in Mexico City, the first time in fifty years, and in Madrid, where it had not lieen seen for eight years. In Jerusalem snow fell to the depth of twelve inches.

Horseless carriages, fuelless engines and the wireless telegraph are the greatest innovations. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is next and cures con stipation, indigestion, sick headache and stomach trouble. Sold by Smith. Yager & Falk. m Low Rate of Interest. Money loaned at five per cent, interest. payable annually or semi-an-nually. at option of borrower, with privilege of partial payments at any interest paying time. No delay in making loans. F. M. Schimieyer. Decatur. Ind. 9tf The state board of health has reports of 101 cases of smallpox in Lawrence county, south of Bedford. The disease is among the quarrymen, and while mild in form, it has spread with great rapidity. The board has also received reports of 42 cases of smallpox in Rochester, Fulton county. Counterfeits of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve are liable to cause blood poisoning. Leave them alone. The original has the name of DeWitt's i upon the box and wrapper. It is a j harmless and healing salve for skin j disease.-. Unequalled for piles. Smith.! Yag»>r & Falk. m I have purchased J. K. Niblick’s up . bolstering business and have located on Mon roe street, opposite the Journal ! office. lam prepared to do all kinds ' of upholstering, furniture finishing j and feather renovating.

Twenty head of breeding ewes, will drop lambs in April. Inquire of Geo. Tricker. 2-2 The largest dwelling house in the world is the Friehaus, in a suburb of Vienna, containing in all between 1,200 and 1,500 rooms, divided into upward of 400 separate apartments. This immense house, wherein a whole citv lives, works, eats and sleeps, has thirteen court yards five open and eight covered and a garden within its walls. Mrs. C. E. VanDeusen, of Kilbourn, Wis., was afflicted with stomach trou ble and constipation for a long time. She says: “I have tried many preparations but none have done uie the good that Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets have.” These Tablets are for sale at Holthouse, Callow & Co’s, drug store. Price 25 cents Samples free. m The tallest living man is said to be Lewis \\ ilkins, who is now arousing great interest in the scientific circles of Europe. Wilkins was born on a farm near St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1874. When he was but ten years old he measured six feet in height, and now has grown to the tremendous height of 1074 inches just three-quarters of an inch less than nine feet, and weighs 364 pounds. Night h«r terror. “I would cough nearly all night long, writes Mrs. Chas.’ Applegate, of Alexandria, Ind., and could hardly get any sleep. I had consumption so bad that if I walked a block I would cough frightfully and spit blood, but when all other medicines failed, three SI.OO bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery wholly cured me and I gained 58 pounds." It’s absolutely guaranteed to cure coughs, colds,’ lagrippe, bronchitis anti all throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and SI.OO. Trial bottles free at Page Blackburn’s drug store. m

C. O. France attended to busies at Alexandria Thursday. Attorneys R. S. Peterson and D. E. Smith returned from Bluffton Friday evening. Although a man may be too poor to keen the wolf from the door, he can afford to keep a couple of dogs under the floor. The new woman will not have to put her hands in the pockets of her husband’s trousers. She will have some of her own. 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 The woman who married a poor man because she loved him is pretty apt to want her daughter to marry a rich man whether she loves him or not. The lingering cough foilowing grippe calls for One Minute Cough Cure. For all throat and lung troubles this is the only harmless remedy that gives immediate results prevents consumption. Smith, Yager A Falk. m The wheat throughout the county is showing up good, the covering of snow being a protection during the winter that will likely mean thousands of dollars to the farmers, if nothing occurs later on (o spoil the crop pros pects. 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 The verdict in the case of Andrew Cowan, charged with shooting Wilhems with intent to kill, tried at Muncie, holds that the shooting was in self defense. The first ballot taken showed four for conviction. Thesecond ballot left but three for conviction. These three held out all night. 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 A Chicago physician asserts that be has discovered a “powder cure” for cigarette smoking. One of the powders is dropped into the fiend’s coffee and thereafter a cigarette tastes to him just as it does to those who now and then get a strangling whif on the rear end of a street car. A weary world has waited for this powder ever since the invention of the first cigarette. Robert R. Watts, of Salem. Mo., writes: "I have been troubled with kidney disease for the last five vears 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 com pletely cured me. and I am sound and well." Holthouse, Callow A Co. m

The chemist who has been looking into the coffee question. Prof. Wiley, gives some advice as to the use of this beverage. He <sav« that rL<> ngp of < coffee in moderation should not do any injury to adults, and then he mentions in detail what moderation means. This is a cupful only half of it coffee, the rest hot milk at breakfast, none at noon, and a small cup of black coffee after dinner. 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 doctors, 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 & Co. m Progress depends upon what we are rather than upon what we may encounter. One man is stopped by a sapling lying across the road: another passing that wav, picks up the hindrance and converts it into a help in crossing th.- brook just ahead. We are too apt to think that our progress in a given case depends solely upon the obstacles we run against. It is more likely to depend upon what runs against tbe obstacles. Notice to City W ater Consumer.*. I hereby wish to notify all persons who are delinquent on city water accounts, that the books have lieen charged up to January 1. 19111, on all meter and past due accounts, and the said books are at City Treasurer Wm. Archbold’s office, and every one knowing themselves in arrears for water are retpiested to settle the same on or before April 20, 1901, or 10 per cent, penalty will lie attached after that date. H. B. Knoff, W. W. Supt. Its A Woman’s Words of Praise. Neosho Falls, Kans., Nov. 13. 1900. Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello, 111. Dear Sirs: For almost fifteen years I suffered from indigestion, and last winter thought I would die, when my doctor. Dr. A J. Lieurance of this place, advised me to try Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, which I did, and two bottles cured me. It not only relieved me. but it cured me so that I have not lieen troubled since. If any one should offer tne $506 for the good Syrup Pepsin has done tne I would not think of taking it. No one can take your medicine without being convinced of its more than wonderful cures. I recommend it to all mv friends as a laxative and stomach remedy. Yours with gratitude, Mrs. J. Morgan. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk. m

David Flanders announces a big public sale for next Thursday. Attorney Otto Allen of Marion, was looking after legal business here I riday evening. Mrs. Clever of Westfield. N. \., who has visited her sister. Mrs. E. J. Bailev, several weeks will return home this week. Au enterprising merchant advertises male and female umbrellas. Very likely a female umbrella is one that won't shut up. Pneumonia follows lagrippe, but never follows the use of Foley’s Honey and Tar, the great throat and lung remedy. Take no substitutes. Holthouse, Callow A Co. m Sampson and Schley will both necessarily have to retire without promotion. which is evidence of the injury a man’s fool friends may do to him. Banner Salve. Tetter, eczema and skin diseases yield quickly to the marvelous healing quantities of Ban ner Salve made from a prescription of a skin specialist of world wide fame. 25c. Holthouse, Cal.ow A Co. m In southern Italy and Cicily the superstitious, which is practically the entire population, have been driven to the verge of distraction by blood red skies and "showers of what appeared to be lie blood” to dust blown from the African desert. Headache often results from a dis ordered condition of the stomach and constipation of the bowels. A dose or two of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will correct these disorders and cure the headache. Sold by Holthouse, Callow A Co. m Pocket Map of China- Latest indexed map of Chinese Empire, with enlarged map of portion of China where d’fficulty exists, and other valuable information relating to pre sent crisis.

Having sold out my lumber business, I will kindly ask all those knowing themselves indebted to me to call at my office in Niblick building over Pete Holthouse clothing store, and settle either by cash or note.

SORES AND ULCERS. Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless the blood is in poor condition - i s sluggish, weak and unable to throw off the poisons that accumulate in it. Tff e system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the syatem. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleansing and invigorating the blood, building up the general health and removing f r <. m the system A OONSTANT DRAIN effetematter. UPOH THE SYSTEM. When this has l>een accomplished the dis charge gradually ceases, and the sere or ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old indolent sores to grow worse and worse and eventually to destroy the bones. Locai applications, while soothing and to some extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat of the trouble S. S. S. does, and no matter how apparently hopeless your condition, even though your constitution has broken down, it will bring relief when nothing else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood necessary to heal the sore and nourish the debilitated, diseased body. Mr J. H Talbert, Lock Box >45, Winona Mim aaya: "Six years ago my leg from the knee to the foot was one solid sore Several physician, treated me and I made two trips to Hot Spring, but found no relief I was induced to try Ss S and it made a complete cure I have been a per! fectly well man ever aince " AfN MRb *• the onl x purely vegetable blood punfier known— contains no poisonous minerals ruin the digestion and add to, rather than relieve your sufferings. If your flesh does not heal readily when scratched, bruised or cut, your blood is in bad condition, and any ordinary sore is apt to become chronic. Send for our free book and write our physicians about your case. We make nu charge for this service. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA. GA. TO CONTRACTORS.
