Polson poison ivaoß are among the best known V* J of the many dangerous AXnV/ wild plants and shrubs. \Allf' // To touch or handle them quickly produces swelling and inflammation within- VJ / AVe 7 tense itching and burning JI of the skin. The eruption soon disappears, the sufserer hopes forever; but N almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regular intervals and each time in a more aggravated form. This poison will loiter in the system for years, and every atom of it must be forced out of the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure. Nature’s Antidote Poisons, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is composed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now is the time to get the poison out of your system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don’t experiment longer with salves,washes and soaps—they never cure. Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (C.a ) Gas Light Co., was poisoned with Poison Oak He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and applied externally numerous lotionsand salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he was almost blind. For eight years the poison would break out every season. His condition was much improved after taking one bottle of S. S. S , and a few bottles cleared his blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned without knowing when or how. Explain your case fully to our physicians, and they will cheerfully give such information and advice as you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interesting book on Blood and Skin Diseases.

Amos Light left Monday noon on the east bound Clover Leaf train, and to a few of his friends stated he was leaving for good. He has an excellent family and no cause can be imagined to make him take such a course. He recently sold a large amount of grain and some live stock taking this money with him. This is the season of the year when croup and diphtheria are in vogue. Druggists report heavy sales of hive syrup, syrup of squillsand other croup remedies. A number of light cases have been reported by the doctors and parents witli little ones predisposed to this dread disease of the night are wont to go to bed in a state of apprehension. Joseph I). Keith, the Warwick county murderer, was hanged at the Michigan City penitentiary early Fri day morning.

Word comes from Congressman Cromer that a special agent of the postal department will be here within the next ten days, with a view of inspecting and establishing several rural routes. The establishment of these routes is due to the persistent efforts of Deputy Postmaster Shamp. The eighth congressional district is fairly well supplied with rural routes, for which credit is due Congressman Cromer.

’Esq. Noll of St. Mary’s township, officiated at his first marriage a few days ago, when he tied the knot that binds together Frank Trqutner and Cora Troutner. The ’Esq. is said to have tied the knot like an old-timer. The township trustees of Jasper county, carrying out the idea of the county school superintendent, have granted each school under their control a day’s holiday, the teacher being required to spend the day visiting some other school in the county. The exchange of ideas in school government thus acquired, is expected to prove beneficial to all teachers. A country editor in New York tunes his lyre and bursts forth into a song with the following result: “Oh! the clothes press is a swell affair for gar ments nice and neat; the hay press is a gram! success and does its work complete; the cider press is lovely, with its juice so nice and sweet; but the printing press contrails the world and gets there with both feet.” A medical journal says that in the continued use of the eyes in such work as sewing, typesetting, bookkeeping reading and studying the saving point is in breaking off work at short intervals and looking around the toom, this may be practiced every ten or fifteen minutes. By doing this the muscular tensions is relieved, the eyes are rested and the blood supply becomes better. Where the cattle have access to a straw stack they get considerable chaff and more or less shriveled or waste wheat blown over with thechaff. This fact indicates the possibility in wintering cattle on the average grain farm. When wheat straw, doubtless the poorest roughage on the farm, can maintain an auimal with a small out lay for ground wheat it ought to encourage a farmer to hold his cattle. The Frank Burk Comedy Company appeared at Bosse's Tuesday night and did credit to one of the oldest and strongest dramas of the American stage. They presented East Lynne and the crowd seemed as much interested as in the days of its triumph, a quarter century ago. Miss Inez Foreman as Lady Isabelle and Mr. J. S. Crosby, Jr., as Archibald Carlisle were especially good in their parts. The newswapers will no doubt have the usual number of eases where carelessness in the use of guns results in the death or wounding of some hunter. The vast number of accidents of this sort that result from carelessness should prompt a law requiring every one who wants to hunt to pass an examination in the use of fire arms and then grant a license to those sufficiently proficient to be regarded as capable in the use of a gun.

Not long ago a wife of an Adams county politician asked him to lay aside polities long enough one day to dig the potatoes in the garden. He agreed to do it. After digging for a few minutes he went into the house and said he had found a coin. He washed it off and it proved to be a silver quarter. He put it into his jeans and went back to work. Presently he went to the house again and said he had found another coin. He washtsl the dirt off of it. It was a silver half dollar. He put it in his jeans. “I have worked pretty hard,” said he to his wife: “1 guess I'll take a nap.” When he awoke he found that his wife had dug all the rest of the potatoes. But she found no coins. It then dawned upon her that she had been “worked.” Mr. and Mrs. Merrill A. Teague, of Baltimore, who are visiting relatives in Pendleton, came to Muncie Monday to call on their numerous friends. Mr. Teague was a former Muncie newspa per man, and is now connected with the Baltimore American. He took a prominent part in the recent Schley court of inquiry in Washington. In speaking of the Muncie young men in tie eastern cities, Mr. Teague stated that Otto and Jesse Carmichael are prospering in newspaper work; Harry Maddy, with the B. A O. S. W. railroad, and’Will D. Nesbit who is the “Josh Wink." of the Baltimore American are making their mark to the credit of their home city. Mr. Teague will leave for Washington, Friday. Mrs.Teague will remain in Pendleton and Anderson for some time, Tuesdays Muncie Star. Mr. Teague is well known here where he lived a number of years ami his Deca tur friends have followed his career with interest. L. W. Montgomery, for six months past the agent f>r the Metropolitan Life Insurance company has been transferred from his agency here, why. we don’t know or shunt attempt to tell our readers. Suffice it to say that there is a mysteriousness about the affair which only adds to the fact that the Decatur agency seems to be hoodooed. Someone must have their toes crossed for something’s wrong somewhere. Every Metropolitan agent who ever struck Decatur has been up against the real thing, so it seems. One was killed on the railway, one was burned out and then arrested for attempting to get his goods out of town without paying a bill charged against him. another left with a broken heart and another was discharged because he loved his “booze” too well and so on down the line. None of them have remained over a year. Now comes Mr. Montgomery who. without any words to his friends or family, leaves town and after a weeks time is found in one of the gas belt cities. His accounts are straight and no one knows why ho should have thus deserted his family. Another agent has been installed and he says Montgom ery will continue in the company’s employ but will be given other territory. 1
