Ervin Schath of Hammond, was here over Sunday visiting with his sister Mrs. John Logerman. A letter from the Philippines says that Commissioner Bernard Moses, of the department of public instruction, has decided that further importation lof teachers from the United States is impractical and that hereafter he will ilevote all his attention to the education of Filipino teachers. The man who has been so situated that he could raise a good supply of chickens is independent of the meat trust.

This is not a gentle word —but when you think how liable you are not to purchase for 75c the only I remedy universally known and a ' remedy that has had the largest sale ■of any medicine in the world since ■ 1868 for the cure and treatment of (consumption and throat and lung troubles without losing its great popularity all these years, you will be thankful we called your attention to Boschee’s German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that i are cheap and good for light colds 1 perhaps, but for severe coughs, bronchitis, croup—and especially for consumption, w’here there is difficult expectoration and coughing during the nights and mornings, there is nothing like German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in the civilized world. G. G. Green, Woodburv, N. J. ts Our farmers should be on the lookout for a gang of men who are operating a new graft. Their scheme is to call on the farmers at their homes and offer for sale a new method for making butter, with a county agency attached. When once their names have been secured to bind the contract. the experience is more expensive than buying a car load of wind pumps or a barn lot full of lightning rods. Farmers in the northern part of the state were bled for several thousand dollars this spring on the same graft. Cures Eczema, Itching Humors, Pimples and Carbuncles.- -Costs nothing to try. B. B. B.

Permit us to call the attention of our readers to the important fact that there are three essential steps in the successful treatment of disease. First, a correct diagnosis; second, the selection of the proper remedies in their best possible! form, and third, a thorough knowledge of knowing how to prepare these remedies and their physiological effects upon the human body, in order to effect a cure. In the three above named facts Dr. D. W. Tucker has no equal in the state of Indiana. He has treated many thousands of cases within the last thirty years. If one-fourth of the people that are now in the cemetery had consulted and been treated by some good Specialist instead of their family doctor, they would have lived twenty years longer. Only a Specialist who thoroughly' understands Chronic Diseases, can treat them successfully. Dr. Tucker is without doubt the ablest Specialist in this state, and has treated and cured more Chronic and Private Diseases than all the other Specialists in this state combined. A doctor that has restored thousands to health, and can proDR. D. W. TUCKER,

HIS TROUBLES BEGIN President Palma In a Fair Way to Learn How it is Himself. Havana, Aug. 16.—During the last few days several Havana newspapers have been making violent onslaughts upon the chief executive of the republic, accusing him of incompetence, ignorance and weakness in not having as yet done anything useful for the country. The Luc.hu < lai ms that President Palma’s promises to rent the various elements in Cuba alike have not been kept ami declares that what the executive wants is to govern without law and to Ignore the constitution. The paper says that in spite of the repeated requests of congress President Palma has not yet presented the budget. The Dlscuscioti says that congress, is wasting time lamentably, and declares that a number of laws have been delayed either In th<? house of representatives or In the senate. Congress must <lq more work, says the paper, or the session will pass the accomplishment of anything for the vital Interests of the country.

duce undeniable proof of the fact, must be regarded with respect. This is the record of Dr. Tucker, which can not be equaled by- any’ othter Specialist in the United States. His success is the result of THIRTY YEARS of careful study, extensive research, observation and remarkable experience in the treatment and cure of thousands of Chronic and Private Diseases •of the Brain, Heart, Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Bladder, Rectum, Gleet, Impotency, Nervous Diseases, Catarrh, Piles, Varicocele, Strictures, all Private Disease of both sex. If Dr. Tucker can not cure you no other Specialist in the United States can. He has deposited in bank ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS that he has treated more cases of Chronic Diseases and performed more remarkable cures than any THREE SPECIALISTS in the state of Indiana. He will not deceive you, and guarantees to cure every case he takes for treatment. He is vouched for by the best banks and citizens of the state. The only Master Specialist in the State of Indiana can be found only at the Indiana Medical and Surgical Institute, at No. io West \V ay ne street. Call on or address, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
