According to the footing of the tax duplicates, County Treasurer Voglewede last year collected in taxes the sum of $250,715.32. This was for state, benevolent, state school, turn- j pike, county, township, tuition, spe- I rial school road, ditch, bridge,poor and I corporation purposes. Owing to »i reduction in the county levy, the; : total collections at the end of this j year will foot .$13,431.36 less than the! | amount collected last year. This is! an' excellent showing and one that i will be appreciated by all concerned.) It is estimated that in the last week ' oil properties in Indiana and Ohio to ' the amount of $783,000 have changed 1 hands, including leases on 4,711 acres and 130 wells. Os this sum $359,000 is credited to Indiana. The indications are that the busiest year in the ! history of the industry in Indiana 1 will be the coming season. Locations 1 for hundreds of new wells have been made, and favorable weather will start the drills to going, I Kokomo is considering the feasibility of establishing a “Travelers’ Inn, ’ a place for the unfortunate tourists to house in. The managers of such an institution do not give a 1 needy man the comforts that their: place affords, however, unless they I earn it, and they are required to work 1 so many hours for meals and for lodg-' ing. The plan works admirably in j ! many places, and the establishments j are self-sustaining, and are an absolute preventative of bums. Possibly, I j restrictions like these for the Travel ) I ers’ Inn would be a good thing for ' the tourist, lodging houses for this; city. Mrs. H. L. Conter was the hostess! for the members of the O. D. O. club 1 Thursday evening and the occasion . was a happy one. Twenty people were present and progressive pedro was the principal amusement. First hon | ors were awarded to Mrs. C. V. Con nell and Mrs. E. X. Ehinger, while the “boobies” went to Mrs. U. Deiuinger and Mrs. Harry Helm. Among other important events of the evening were the refreshments which were I most delicious. It was a gav evening and Mrs. Conter has the club’s con-1 sent to entertain every week if she will. The Hoagland Gil company has i not yet been thoroughly organized, although a number of good men have ! | taken stock in the concern, and five hundred acres of land north of Hoag land have been leased. The company I was originally started by a number of influential farmers, who live near the Adams aud Allen county lina, and J. H. Hobroek appointed manager, since which time he has been incessantly working for the accomplishment of their first intentions. They expect to lease land south of Hoagland, in this county, and give all their holdings a thorough test. If there is any oil in i that territory they will certainly find ; it, and the plan upon which they I work must bo commended. Whatever the business men of De I catur and the citizens of the surround--1 ing country do, they should keep up ' the lick and do all they can to secure 1 for our city some industries that will make us substantial and insure labor 1 for our inhabitants. This will insure 1 our growth and give everyone herej abouts an opportunity to make money. I There are at present several big con cerns figuring on a location here, i among them being the Swadener A I Finfrock bed spring factory and the I Brent canning factory. The former 1 will employ several hundred men at good prices, while the latter will use a large number of men, women I and boys, besides buying a large ! amount of produce from the farmers hereabouts. The business man would certainly feel the effect of a pay day when 3(10 or 400 men would receive their pay, and the working people' ! could always be assured of a job at good wages. For these and various 1 other reasons, there is not a man, woman or child in the community ♦ hat should not Im* with us aud do all in their power to secure these con- ' cerns. More will be sail! about each i in a few days.

About seventy-five members of the Knights of Pythias lodge attended services at the United Brethren church Sunday morning, the occa- | sion being a special sermon by Rev. j ' Pontius. It was a splendid sermon; and was fully appreciated by every- I I one present. Mrs. Susan Carpenter was brought home Monday from Toledo in a I very serious condition. Some six i ; weeks ago she went to Toledo to visit' | and was taken very sick with bowel' I trouble and has just sufficiently re- ‘ 1 covered to be removed to the home of 1 her son, Jesse Carpenter southwest of itown. The lingering attack has greatly impaired her body and her I death is only a question of a short I time. In honor of her husband’s forty- ’ fourth birthday Mrs. Peter Gaffer entertained a crowd of friends Sunday evening at progressive cards. It was a pleasant gathering of a jolly crowd and Mrs. Gaffer has been declared by those present as an excellent entertainer, Mrs. R. C. Drummond won 1 first ladies' prize at cards and J. F. ' Bell the gentleman’s award while 1 Miss C. A. Wilhelm and Mr. R. C, i Drummond had to be consoled with j the boobies. Excellent refreshments I were served and this part of the proj gram as in each of the other features I everyone participated to the limit. A card hi s been received from P. . L. Andrews, one of the thirty excur- ! sionists who left here last week for a trip through the southwest. T1 e postal is dated at Chelsea, Indian Territory and says they arrived there the afternoon or the 19th. He also says: "This is a wild, beautiful country. We are going tomorrow further on and will reach Oklahoma City Saturday. There is some snow here but the sun shines this afternoon and it will soon be no more. It is very pleasant here and expect to find it warmer as we go further south. We are now only a little ways in the territory.” The Dailv Journal the other even ing had another one of their curdling murders that wasthoroughlysaturated with red blood and foul play. The truth of the horrible and ghastly deed is told in twelve lines in the Geneva Herald, to-wit: Dan Fogle who rooms at Mrs Joe Farrah’s, over the Oil Well Supply, fell down the stairway last Thursday afternoon. He caught his shoe heel at the top of the stairs and landed with considerable force out on the street. Besides being generallv jolted he received some bad cuts-and bruises on the head and face. Saturday night he went to a hospital at Fort Wayne for treatment. Tuesday he was getting along quite well. Perhaps the biggest horse sale ever held in Indiana Was on at Wabash last week, and it is said 10,000 strangers are there. A number of Decatur people are attending, among them being Dan W. Beery, cf Beery A Holthouse, who have entered their famous pacing I horse, Kingmore, in the sale. This wonderful horse has a mark of 2:12, and has gone a quarter in twenty- , | nine seconds, a 1:58 clip. He should, and no doubt will, bring big money. This sale is run by Daugherty Bros., of Wabash, is strictly a commission sale and operated on the same plan as the John Lackey sales that have made Cambridge City famous. A number of the best horses in the land have been entered in the sale. An interesting meeting of the Parks Oil company was held here Fiirday afternoon. This company seems to be, temporarily at least, in the swim, as their three wells now pumping give evidcnee of turning out to be good producers. One important feature of the meeting was the placing on the market of $3,000 worth of stock. Preference of five days is given the , members of the company to take this stock or any Dart of it, and after that time anyone wanting action on their money can get it. Indications point to a skirmish within the company for the offered stock, and it is not probable that much of it will leak out of the present lines. Their intentions are to put in a permanent power and to drill additional wells.

DR. LOEB AGAIN Tris Time He Announces Cure for Nervous Disorders. Chicago, Feb. 23. —Dr. Jacques Loeb has discovered that muscular and nervous diseases, such as St. Vitus dance, paralysis, locomotor ataxia and sleeplessness can be cured by administering calcium salts, that is. such salts as are found in well water and many foods. Announcement of this discovery in scientific research by the former head of the department of physiology at the University of Chicago has just been wL K V T—qsnn J\rOTTFSI LOF.3 made. In one of the deeenn'ial publications just issued by the University of Chicago press, Dr. Loeb dwells on his experiments in lower forms of life, and the conclusions suggested in regard tc human beings. Simply stated, the conclusion is that the presence of calcium salts in the muscles is what prevents their twitching; that practically ail nervous diseases are caused by the absence of the calcium and that therefore, to restore normal conditions and effect a cure, the remedy is to dose with calcium salts.

Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical mei. have to contend with, can be pre vented by the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of (influenza (grip , and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proved in many thousands of eases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered t hat there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chambsrlain’s Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For tale by Holthouse Drug Co.
