All diseases and S SO affections of th© ■% I iH Positively cleared away in a hurry. 9 vouch for it. Thousands of wretched people are miserable —imagining they have a bad poisoning ft in nine cas# out of ten it is purely a local parasitic manifestation in the skin which ctn b cleared Oway in a hurry. Such misery now cleared away as surely : s the sun shines above. Net merely ATTEMPTED-n 't a mat. rof it., rovem mt only—but a clearing of it all away absolutely—and quickly, tco.

We vouch for this—absolutely. It has been proven to us bevond the possibility of doubt that a new medicament known as D. D. D. clears up the worst skin affections quickly. Its work seems astonishing, amazing, almost miraculous. (It is a specific formula which, because of its discovery by Dr. Decator Dennis, is known as "D. D. D."). Its actual record sounds like a story of magic. But there is no room for doubt about it whatever; full proofs indisnutable in every respect, have been submitted to us regarding hundreds of cases —among them the one case shown here of the boy (Sammy M inkey), who was cured in 21 days. The results are not only complete, but permanent; in this case it is now nearly two years since the disease was cleared out of the skin, and no taint of it has appeared since. Each one of the known skin affections is parasitic in nature and all as them have yielded to “D. D D.'' The preparation is being used by most of the skin specialists. It is compounded for druggists solely bv the D. D. D. Co., 70 Dearborn St., Chicago. It is utilized by everv family physician who has taken the trouble to investigate the work it is accomplishing. It is used in the Cook County Hospital, Chicago. It will clear awav any parasitic break in the skin in from 3 days to 60 days' time. Visit the undersigned and see proofs that will make you a happier human. SI.OO buys the prescription—already made up in sealed bottles, with authentic label on each. The undersigned will fill mail orders on receipt of price. Smith, Yager & Falk, Decatur, Ind.

Mrs. Cowan of Pleasant Mills, returned Saturday from Valparaiso, where she was called on account of the serious illness of her daughter, Miss Wilma Cowan. Miss Cowan was attending school at Valpariso and was taken sick with a severe attack of appendicitis, although at the present time she is out of danger. Will Lockwood of Peru, has been selected to take charge of the Y. M. C. A. work at Shanghai, China, and will leave to take up his new duties in September. This is one of the most important posts in the world in the European Y. M. C. A. work, and the selection of Mr. Lockwood is a high compliment to his ability. The association picks its best men for its foreign work. Shanghai is largely an European city in population, and associations there will doubtless be very pleasant. The salary that goes with the place is said to l>e lucrative. Mr. Lockwood is well known in this city Mr. Krick, who came home last week from a trip to the southwest, tells of a pleasant visit with Arlie DeVoss and family at Sapulpa, Indian Territory. He met Arlie at the hotel and went with him to supper, enjoying the occasion more than any other particular day of his trip. He says Arlie is prospering and while he regrets sincerely the statements concerning him which were sent out from Beaumont, he has the satisfaction of knowing they were false and were made to cover acts of the president of the company. Arlie and his wife and baby girl are nicely located and enjoying life for all it is worth in that great country. Mr. Krick says be is considering very seriously of taking stock in a large manufacturing concern at Tulsa and if he does will use his influence to have Arlie appointed gen eral manager, if he will accept, for he is a clever and hustling young business man.

Henry B. Heller is in receipt of a letter from a friend in Indianapolis which says that the gentleman who was so badly hurt there by falling from a second story window, mention of which was made a few days ago, is Craig Miller of this city. It seems he was unfortunate lately in securing work and had accepted a position s janitor at a hotel on Virginia avenue. While washing windows Saturday he fell to the pavement and was badly ' injured. He was taken to the City hospital and for a few hours it was > feared his injuries would prove fatal. I He is improving now. however, and it | is thought will be able to leave the in about two weeks. Saturday was the closing of the sixth week of the February term of the Adams circuit court, and under the new Dirkson law leaves but three more weeks of the term. Business was transacted Saturday as recorded on the docket as follows: Victor M. Hatfield vs Roberts. Peterson, suit on note, dismissed and costs paid. School town of Geneva vs The Logansport and Wabash Valley Gas Company, damage suit on account of fire which destroyed a school house, demand SI2,(XX), demurrer filed by defendant ami argued, same overruled. Rebecca Rockwood et al vs Mary ; Patten, cause dismissed and costs paid. S. A.M. Butcher vs Charles F. Waltz and M. F. Atwood, suit to collect fee, appearance entered by Merryman A Sutton for defendants. Annie Buhler, administratrix of the estate of John Buhler, filed her final report in probate court, and same was examined, approved and the administratrix discharged. In the Solomon Gilpin estate, John M. Brodbeck, administrator, filed inventory and sale bill which were approved, the final report was also filed. John A. Green was appointed guardian for Elmer I. Seimns and gave bond for $2,000, which was approved by the i court.

An old-fashioned stiret fakir, a real vender of eheap jewelry and other novelties was in town, having opened his grip at the court house corner Saturday. He did a fair business ,*ind set med we# pleased with tlw season’s first business. This is always a sure sign of spring, and when the princi pie corners in town are filled up with these grafters we feel satisfied that the groundhog prophecy has filled its destiny and the backbone of winter is broken. Blue birds and the proverbial Jay may sing their carols, the winds may rear around to the south ward, but she real sign, indicative of coming warm days is the hawker of cheap jewelry and other necessary arI tides. The big gas engine at the Waring glove factory was run for the first time Saturday. It is a Fairbanks & Morse machine and though twenty horsepower, is as fast running as many smaller machines. A complete electric machine has been installed and | the machinery of the factory is driven Iby electricity in a novel way. Direct with the engine a twenty horsepower dynamo is connected and this generates a current sufficient to drive two motors, one of which runs the big cutting machine and the other the sewing machines. All wheels of the machinery were turned Saturday and put in good running order for the start. The date for the beginning of work has not been decided on as several i pieces of machinery have not arrived, but it will probably be within ten or fifteen days The two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. August Scheiman, who live about a mile southwest of Friedheim, I died at four o’clock Saturday after several days of intense suffering. The boy’s mother was bleaching clothes on Wednesday and had placed a bucket full of boiling water on the floor at her side. The little boy was playing near by and had taken hold of the mother's dress. As she turned around the boy lost his balance and fell into the water. The mother grabbed him as quickly as possible but the water had soaked to the skin and the flesh was cooked. He lingered three days and every thing possible was done for him but to no avail and death resulted Saturday morning. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at one o’clock from the Lutheran Church at Friedheim. Politicians are taking considerable interert just now in the announcement made by Senator W. A. Kittinger of Anderson that he will be a candidate ) for the republican nomination for congress from the Eighth district next year against Congressman Cromer. Although the time for holding the convention is a year off, even if it is held unusually early, some of the eighth district leaders are known to be lining up for Kittinger. There are others, however, who do not believe his candidacy is bonaiide, but think it is merely a blind to help out Cromer who, it is known, will have to make another fight to hold his position. M. M. Dunlap, former mayer of Anderson, Kittinger’s home town, was one of the most active candidates against Cromer in the last fight. He announced immediately after the convention that he would again seek the honor as did Theodore P. Shockney, who also contended for the nomination. Senator Kittinger and Mr. Cromer always have been close political friends and it is believed by some i of the district politicians that Kiti tinger's announcement is made this early in order to head off Mr. Dunlap by having onecandicatefrom Madison • county already in the field before he formally announces himself. This i would have the effect either to divide the Madison delegation or force Mr. Dunlap out of the race. In either con- , tingency Congressman Cromer would benefit. If Mr. Dunlap should be i forced out of the race it would be . easy for Kittinger to withdraw at the ■ last moment, leaving the field practi- • callv clear for Cromer, and it is be- ■ lieved by many that this is the scheme of Cromer and Kittinger.

Mr. and Mrs. J. IL Heller eater tamed the members of the \\ hist vlun Friday evening at their homefW Adams street and this most alluring and fascinating g one of cardr "■" , Hl I ll ' l -! 1 ' 1 ' in for several hours. Mrs. Ellingham md Dr. Key Archbold w n iug tie I rnrela for hig£ ec< n - Mrs Peterson was a veiling guest, club will meet next Fhursdav evening with Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Moltz. The peanut and popcorn machine of Fred Mills does not look very formidable, beside a locomotive engine or a 300 horse power, high pressure boiler, yet is right there and when the shiv ering pointer at the steam gauge points to thirty or forty, you may be sure there is some force behind it. Last evening a valve bursted and the cloud of steam and the jet of hot water which was forced high into the air looked very much like a pony geyser. Henry Krick, who has just returned from a trip through Indian Territory , considers the opportunities offered there for new industries so good that he is seriously contemplating invest- ! ing some money in a tile and brick manufactory. Negotiations are now , on between him and the citizens of Tulsa, I. T., a thriving city of 3,000 inhabitants, to the effect that a large manufactory of tile and brick be established. The natural facilities such as an abundance of clay, coal and oil. and good shipping points, and moreover a big demand for the product, all I unite to make it seemingly a good investment. Should the deal be com- ; pleted, George Krick would probably take up the work at Tulsa for his I father. After allfthe congested excitement incident to the granting of applicaI tions of liquor licenses at Geneva, it seems that the fun is not yet ended. James T. Merryman and Dore B. Erwin as attorneys for the remonstrators, have filed with the county auditor an appeal bond, ami the auditor in a few days will get busy making a transcript transferring the same to the i circuit court. The appeal bond bears the signatures of Jacob R. Martz, Walter L. Thornhill, John Brown, John Banning. Levi Sauers, Lafayette Rape, Nathan Shepherd. Thomas Drew, George Hartman and W. A. Wells, and binds them to pay all costs incurred in the appeal to the circuit court. The two applicants are Preston E. Warner and Jacob Wegmiller. The cases will likely be heard at the next term of court. In answer to an article in the Democrat, John D. Stultz has the following to say: In the year 1889 1 kept an itemized account of all labor, of plowing, harrowing, rolling, drilling, cutting, shocking, threshing and storing grain on sand land of ten acres of wheat, together with cost of seed wheat, all total without interest or taxes and at thirty bushels per acre, my wheat cost seventy-one cents per bushel in the gralnary. As I can remember I allowed $2.50 per day per hand and team, $1 per day for hands employed including feed and board, $1.25 per acre tor cutting, 12 cents per pound for twine, 31 cents per bushel for threshing and cannot see how we can raise wheat for $9.73 per acre as my wheat cost me $21.30 per acre. Possibly Mr. Comboy did not have a heavy crop and would not be as much to handle. Brain-Food for Nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly action that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscle, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every 1 other part. Yet, however good your food may lie, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or ' prevent their coming by taking regu- ' lar doses of Green’s August Flower, ' the favorite medicine of the healthy • millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, ' j purifies the blood, and makes you ' feel buoyant and vigorous. You can . get this reliable remedy at Blackburn a. Ohrisieii's, Get Green’s Special ’ Aloww. u The Decatur Democrat has been converted. It has fallen it) ! line, and in last Tuesday’s issue I is paying Congressman George \\ . Cromer the neatest little cotn- | pliment we have reau anywhere since last fall. And it is asking ' him for free rural mail routes just a politely as any well bred ■ school boy can do it.- Berne Witness. We presume the compliment of last i fall referred to, is when the Berne I! Witness forgot its moral role and beI stowed upon its democratic constitu- ' | ent a lavish display of eulogistic I praise of George W’. Cromer. The j Democrat stands where it always | stood. We were for rural routes last I fall upon business principles instead I of political hypocracies, and we are for them today upon the same basis, Adams county is entitled to them | upon our merits. Politics is polities, but it ought to take something iiesides | political jugglery to secure our rights I from this government. Congressman I Cromer for political effect, used his I influence for rural routes last fall, and now he should show himself a congressman as well as a politician, bv using his influence for them now. ' The Berne Witness could not better ' employ itself than by using its stra getic and hypnotic power over Con--1 gressman Cromer in favor of complete I rural route service. It should do it I too because the county deserved it, | instead of because they are brother republicans, and both Eighly instrumental in shaping the future destinies of the g. o. p.
