For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. m Those who are in politics for the cash they can pull out are greatly interested in the reported intention of J. Pierpont Morgan to make some politi -al investments. 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 It may yet become necessary to absolutely prohibit the making of afterdinner speeches by army and navy officers, or to add a total abstinence pledge to the oath they take on assuming office. 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 The Standard Oil directors have declared another dividend of 12 percent. It was only in March they declared a dividend of 20 percent.

Mrs. D. E. Smith visited at Fort " ayne several days last week. 1 red Hoffman was a business visitor at 1 ortland last Thursday morning. Andrew Mylott and Frank Bell went to rort Wayne on business Fri- ' day. , L ‘ l transacted business at Chicago for the Big Store the latter I part of last week. i It is easy to call a man a fool, but awful hard to convince him of the truth of your statement. Better have your name engraven in hearts whileyou are living than carved on marble after you are gone. H. M. Romberg, who has been employed by the EK-tric Ry company at bort Wayne, was home over Sunday. There is no better way of killing off a presidential candidate than to start to boom him three years ahead of the nomination. 'r» Studabaker and son, | David, are at Goshen visiting relaI tives. They will also visit at Chicago before returning. 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 The men who were a few days ago filling the newspapers with stories of their profits in Wall street are now using language that cannot be printed in a family paper. 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 well known physician advances the theory that the distressing sensation of nausea has its seat in the brain, and not in the stomach, and that relief may be obtained by cooling the base of the brain. 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. Itjs.thequickest and most positive cure for piles. Smith, Yager & Falk. & m The merchant who would trust his customers for two, three, live, seven or a dozen years would end up in the poor house. The merchant who prospers is the one who makes quick collections. Why should publishers trust subscribers for years? “I had a running sore on my breast for over a year,” says Henry R. Richards of Wilseyville, N. Y.. “and tried a great many remedies but got no relief until I began the use of Banner Salve. After using one-half box I was perfectly cured. I cannot recommend it too highly.” Holthouse, Callow & Co. m God made Adam out of dust, but that was a long time ago, and it seems like all men are not made out of dust these days, for dust settles sometime, but our delinquent subscribers nevt-r settle. We wonder what kind of material they were made out of. “Our little girl was unconscious from Strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup, I quickly secured a bottle ot 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 Rome City May 15 to Oct. 31. the G. R. A I. will sell excursion tickets at rate of $1.90 for 15 day limt and $2.30 good for season or Oct. 31. Telephone No. 10 for advertising matter and it will be sent to your home. J. Bryson. Agent. Pan-Amencan Eposition, Niagfa Falls, Chautauqua Lake via Erie railroad. The only line reaching all these points direct. $11.60 Decatur to Buffalo and return on and after June 1; ten days limit. $7.45 every Tuesday, good returning following Friday. M. A. Hamm, Agent.

Every cloud has its silver lining and every dark lantern has its dark side. Mrs. Harry Wilkinson and sons returned from a several days visit at Warsaw. Omaha is again a wide-open town. Being gaxl was too much of a strain on its officials. Beware of straw hat jocularity. One Maryland man tried it on another and had his skull broken with a whiskey bottle. It is not necessary for a man to be poor to be honest, but sometimes it seems necessary for him to be poor if he is honest. Fairy stories are likely to be prevalent at Ohl Point about June 3, as the drummers will hold their national convention there on that date. 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 About the best way for a man to manage his Ijouse is to tell his wife to do just as she pleases and then let her go ahead and do it. Mr. W. J. Baxter of North Brook, N. C., says he suffered with piles for fifteen years. He tried many remedies with no results until he used DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve and that quickly cured him. Smith, Yager & Falk, m A Camera that has a special train to curry it is usoa to take views along the Chicago & Alton railroad and makes the largest photographic plate in the world eight feet long and four and one-half feet wide. 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 good 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, m Take a piece of paper and write upon it the number representing your age in years, multiply by two, add 3,800, divide by two, then subtract the number representing your age and you have something before your eyes that you will never see again. Mr. F. D. Arnold, Arnold, la., writes: He was troubled with kidney disease about three years. Had to got up several times during the night but three bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure effected a complete cure, he feels better than he ever did and recommends it to his friends. Holthouse, Callow & Co. in

Talk about days of old, when knights were bold! There is that Grant county man who is seeking his wife and mother in law, both of whom eloped with an oil-well driller. Here is combined devotion and valor that challenges the admiration of the world. -Bluffton Banner. 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 easy to take is a perfect laxative. Sold bv Smith, Yager & Falk. m The supreme court has ordered a stay of execution to James Keith, the murderer of Nora Keifer, who was to be executed at the northern penitentiary, at Michigan City next Friday. The stay extends to November. The court sets October 2nd as the date to hear the argument. “I have been suffering from dyspepsia for the past twenty years and have teen unable after trying all preparations and physicians to get any relief. After taking one tettle of Kalol Dyspepsia Cure I found relief and am now in tetter health than I have teen for twenty years. I cannot praise Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too highly.” Thus writes Mrs. C. W. Roberts. North Creek, Ark. Smith. Yager A Falk. m The Huntington News-Democrat funny man springs this one: The order of “Buffaloes” is now a back number. The “Camels” is the order which occupies the front of the stage and originated in Wabash. The main thing to accomplish in the latter order is to go nine days without drinking, and it makes the applicant hump to do it. A Cashier Testifies. Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello, 111. Gentlemen: After twenty years of aches and pains caused by constipation brought on by sedentary habits, I have found more relief in two bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin than all of the hundreds of other remedies I have tried, and I take pleasure in giving you this testi mony, believing you have the finest preparation made for stomach troubles. Very truly yours, D. F. Lange, Cashier Wabash R. R.. East St. Louis. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk. m One step won’t take you very far; You’ve got to keep ou walking.

Howdifferent theChinesedo things. In China when a doctor loses a patient he expects to lose his head too.
