The least in quantity and most in quality describes DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous pills for constipation, and liver complaints. Smith, Yager & Falk. m About this time a man digs out his last year’s light suit and tries to determine whether it will take less nerve to wear the suit or stand the tailor off for a new one. Geo. C. Hickock, Curtiss, Wis., says: "Foley’s Kidney Cure has been tested and found to be all you claim for it. I have given it to my father and it is the only thing that ever helped him.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. m Talk about defenceless women! Here’s a Missouri girl whose life was saved bv her bustle, while there are numberless cases of bullets being turned by corsets, and mad dogs fended off by skirts. Defenceless, indeed' The great scourge of modern times is consumption. Many cures and discoveried from time to time are published but Foley's Honey and Tar does truthfully claim to cure all cases in the early stages and always affords comfort and relief in the very wosst cases. Take no substitute. Holthouse, Callow Co. m The new rule was inforced in the circuit court this morning. Judge Chase directed the plaintiff in a divorce suit, to pay into court, 85 before the article had any standing. This is a provision of a new law which has become generally affective in a short time.—Logansport Reporter.

Old Soldier's Experience. M. M. Austin, a civil war veteran of Winchester, Ind., writes: “My wife was sick a long time in spite of gixxl doctor’s treatment, but was wholly cured by Dr. King's New Life Pills, which worked wonders for her health.” They always do. Try them. Only 25c at Page Blackburn’s drugstore, in At a revival meeting in Berne, a man arose and said he was the wickedest man on earth. “I’d go straight to h if I were to die tonight.” he concluded. Immediately an old deacon started the hvmn: “If you get there before I do, lookout for me I'm coming too.” And then the deacon wondered why they all laughed. “Our little girl was unconscious from Strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup, I quickly secured a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure, giving her three doses. The croup was mastered and our darling speedily recovered.” So writes A. L. Spafford, Chester, Mich. Smith, Yager & Falk. m Grasshoppeis are valuable in the Philippines. A bushel sells for 82.50 iu the principle cities. Tbe dried insect is eaten by the natives, and grass hopper is mixed with various dishes and drinks. Mountain moths, baked in earth ovens, are also eaten by the Fillipinos. A portion of the side of bats is an article of food. “I have been suffering from dyspepsia for the past twenty years and have been unable after trying all preparations ami physicians to get any relief. After taking line bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure I found relief and am now in better health than I have been for twenty years. I cannot praise Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too highly.” Thus writes Mrs. C. W. Rolierts, North Creek. Ark. Smith, Yager At Falk. rn

Murrray and family took in the excursion to Portland Friday, and enjoyed themselves while there as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse King. If you are sick all over, and don’t know just what ails you, it's ten to one your kidneys are out of order. Foley’s Kidney Cure will bring you health and energy. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m The Christian Scientists are being savagely attacked by the press and preachers of New York City, on account of several recent deaths, one of which the former charge to have been caused by doctors. DeWitt’s Little Earlv Risers search the remotest parts of the bowels and remove the impurities speedily with no discomfort. They are famous for their efficacy. Easy to take. Never gripe. Smith, Yager & Falk. m A doctor told a woman’s club that 22,000,000 American women areaffiicted with floating kidneys, because of bad corsets. What’s a loose kidney or two compared with the pleasure of being neatly and expensively gowned! The greatest skin specialist in America originated the formula of Banner Salve. For all skin diseases, all cuts and sores, and for piles, it’s the most healing medicine. Beware of substitutes. Holthouse, Callow & Co. m A New Y’ork dry goods merchant related his experience as a newspaper advertiser, and among the pieces of advice which he gives to others is this; “It is a mistake to advertise only at intervals. The man who does this loses the cumulative benefit of publicity.” It Saved His Leg. P. A. Danforth of LaGrange. Ga., suffered for six months with a frightful running sore on his leg: but writes that Bucklen's Arnica Salve wholly cured it in five days. For ulcers, wounds, piles, its the best salve in the work Cure guaranteed. Only 25c.

The city of Wabash has accepted the donation, however.

Kokomo. Ind., April 4,1898. I can say without fear ot successful contradiction that Dr. J. McLean’s Liver and Kindey Balm is the best medicine I have ever used for kidney and lives troubles. I suffered for five years anil had about despaired of ob taining relief when your Liver and Kidney Balm was recommended to me. In it I found the desired relief. J. H. Arnett. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. m A Spanish scientific paper announces that Dr. Martinez Reguera has discovered a spring, the waters of which ally the pangs of one-sided affection. The remarkable well is situated at Alanje, and eases of well nigh distracted swains cured are quoted. Nothing is said as to an extensive demand for the new love philter. Biliousness is a condition characterized by a disturbance of the digestive organs. The stomach is debilitated, the liver torpid, the bowels constipated. There is a loathing of food, pains in the bowels, dizziness, coated tongue and vomiting, first of the undigested or partly digested food and then of bile. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets allay the disturbances of the stomach and create a healthy appetite. They also tone up the liver to a healthy action and regulate the bowels. Try them and you are certain to lie much pleased with the result. For sale by Holthouse. Callow & Co. ’ m

Hon. Adalbert Hay, son of Secretary of State, has resigned his position as United States consul general at Pretoria, in the Transvaal, and the place is now vacant and will probably remain so until congress meets and increases the salary.

Mrs. Robert ®BI ackburn was the guest of Porgaud relatit es last week. Misses Maggie O’Brien and Louisa Neizer of Monroeville were in the city Thursday evening. A man has invented a chair that can be adjusted to eight hundred positions. It is designed for a boy to sit in when he goes to church. A widower’s club is the latest organization in the club line, with a constitution that prohibits the attendance of ladies. The mean things. You are much more liable to disease when your liver and bowels do not act properly. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers remove the cause of disease. Smith, Yager & Falk. m And now a scientist has discovered that the earth is a pear shaped. It is singular that none of the people who are perpetually scrambling over it ever noticed that fact before. Miss Minnie Smith, Middlesboro, Ky., writes: “My little sister had the croup very bad. I gave her several doses of Honey and Tar and she was instantly relieved. It saved her life.” Holthouse, Callow & Co: m Without giving a reason traveling men predict that the new time card on the Clover leaf, effective last Sunday, will be changed within thirty days. The claim that it has met with disfavor all along the road. Skin affections will rapidly disappear by using DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Look out for counterfeits. If you get DeWitt’s you will get good results. It[is the quickest and most positive cure for piles. Smith, Yager & Falk. m I have purchased J. K.

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. Schirmeyer, Decatur, Ind. 9tf Every town has a class of citizens that live in the good times long past, another that are looking for the good times coming and neither are doing much for the present or future. There is, however, a class of hustlers who make the most of the present and do their best to mend the existing circumstances. Thomas Maple, Birkbeek, 111., writes: “I had a very bad case of kidney trouble and my back pained me so I could not straighten up. The doctor’s treatment did me no good. Saw Foley’s Kidney Cure advertised and took one bottle which cured me and I have not been affected since. I gladly recommend this remedy.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. m Doctors report scores of cases of appendicitis at the hospitals of Chicago. One of the producing causes of this disease is said to be the quick lunch counter. People do not take time to eat properly. When disease comes, however, it takes its own time and exacts strict penalty for violated hygienic laws. If people only knew what we knew about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be used in nearly every household, as there few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach or waterbrash, caused by indigestion and dyspepsia. A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the stomach, will digest your food, certainly can’t help but do you good. Smith, Yager & Falk. m We are sorry for a man . io does not read his home paper, says an unknown exchange. He is no better than a man without a country. He is like a homeless cow that has no regular pasture, but grazes around promiscuously on weeds and thistles. No matter what paper he mav read, the solid, safe, straightforward citizen insists upon having his home pajier. flarvelous Work. Many hopeless cases of lung trouble that have been given up by physicians havejbeen cured by Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup. This medicine has done marvelous work that cannot lie surpassed. Never in the history of cough syrups has its equal been produced, a medicine that has been test ed for years with unbounded results, you cannot afford to pass it by. Try it is all we ask. This medicine is guaranteed to satisfy you. Brice 25, 50, 81. By druggists. m The president is appointing gold democrats to office in the south, and there is evidence that these appointees are joining with the white republicans in the formation of a new party which will exclude the negro. As the whiteface will be the distinguishing characteristic of the members of this new party, they will probably lie known as Hereford republicans. Another Dyspeptic Pleased. J. P. Becker, 1836 Surf St., Chicago, says: I have suffered from stomach trouble and great distress after eating. Have taken a course of Bailey’s Dys peptic Tablets and they gave me complete satisfaction. A tablet taken after each meal, completes the digestion of your food. The stomach is cleaned out naturally. The blood has lieen enriched. The breath sweetened and the lips reddened.

Smith, Yager & Falk, m The advertising philantropist who tells the gullible how to get rich, by investing their money in his schemes, is again occupying much space in the big newspapers and magazines. The crop of “suckers” is inexhaustible. A tramp stole a bottle of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. When he appeared in court he explained that he saw in the advertisement that it was “easy to take,” so he took it. “Discharged., said the judge. “I will go and take some myself.” It is easylo take is a perfect laxative.
