The suit is one to gain possession of the farm recently purchased by Haugk. He alleges that, the defendants are committing waste on the..!, land by pasturing the land and thus destroying the hay crop. The damage already is said to amount to fifty dollars and that amount and immediate p issession of the property is ! demanded. Grain merchants from alipeds of 1 the state met at Peru and discussed < matters pertaining to the business. ( < >ne of the chief objects was to talk over a proposed bill to be presented . at the next legislature. It is in reference to holding railroad com- ’' paniesyesponsible for delays in placing cars for grain men. A bill of i' this kind paased the legislature a . i few years ago, but it was vetoed by the governor. * .L A startling test. To save a life Dr. ] T. G. Merritt of No. Mehoopany, Pa.,i t made a startling test resulting in a 1 wonderful cure. He writes: “A 1 patient was attacked with violent ] hemorrhages, caused by ulceration of j the stomach. I had often found ~ Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I pre scribed them. The patient gained c from the first, and has not had an at- u tack in fourteen months.

This is more than medicine talk. It is humanity to enlighten sufferers about this. s , The most virulent skin diseases are conquered —every time —in all cases — without any exception -all cleared away in a few weeks —by the brilliantly clever new skin prescription, "fi. D. D." its work is hardly, equaled by any other wonders of modern medical practice. We guarantee this to be true SMITH, YAGER & FALK, Decatur, Have you been —or do you know anyone who has been—in a living hell of torture with a skin disease? Dispair usually seizes those so afflicted. Manv imagine it is in the blood and too subtle to cure. Doctors have stood baffled and helpless against Eczema. Half of them think its worse forms are blood poison. Ninety nine cases out of a hundred of manifestations on the skin are purely local — SKIN disease—not BI.OOD d : sease. Healthy blooded people break out as often as any one, the blood has nothing to do with it in most cases. It is a parasite in the skin that spreads. This prescription is today completely clearing away_-quickly too — and permanently curing trace of such parasitic trouble andjfeaves the skin soft, healthy and perfect. ’Call on the above druggists and investigate the unquestionable proofs in their possession i The prescription is sold in above drug store at SI.OO fora liberal bottle, and comes under authentic label cf the D. D. D. Company of Chicago, who solely compound the prescription for druggists everywhere. s

It is said that nothing is sure except death, but that is not altogether true. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption is a sure cure for all lung and throat troubles. Thousands can testify to that. Mrs. C. B. Van Metre of Shepherd town, W.

Prices on pork and particularly grain fed stock was run to such a fabulous price on account of a scarcity of the product which was due to a light 'crop of corn. Now hogs, cattle and sheep are becoming wore plenty and prices will naturally decline in agreement with the increasing supply which will soon meet the demand.

Accoridng to one of the late legislative laws, county clerks are required to make quarterly reports of all fees collected and uncollected. In Addition it requires the clerk to issue a fee bill for all fees unpaid at these times. This will prove a laborious task for these county officials, and it will also cause them to be misunderstood by the public, especially those who will have to immediately whack up these fees, with the additional cost of the fee bill. TIP- Clerks will receive a grievienee for a duty required by the law. The law was passed with the view of giving the county clerks their salaries whether they collected them in fees or not. Tlw high,, school. class of 'O4 are making graet prejiaraitons for their reception to the graduating class to be given at the home of Miss May Coverdale on South Third street, tomorrow evening.

A crowd of Masons from here were at WiiliamsportThiu'sday evening attending a regular old-fashioned Masonic social and it is needless to say that the boys were royally entertained- The lodge at that place is „pne of the oldest in this part of the state, having been organized about IS6O. It is the mothei - of Decatur, Ossian, Monroeville and other lodges. At last night’s meeting there were two candidates. Mr. Mercer, a young physician, and Mr. Smith, a son of Auditor Smith. Both boys clung tenaciously to the griz.zley old goat who has been in service there for over forty years and Ixith succeeded in solving the great mystery. Lodges were present from Fort Wayne, Ossian and Monroeville, the two latter doing the initiatory work. The Summit City delegation was headed by Judge O'Rourke and Lawyer Emrjck. After degree wofk the Masons were escorted to the town hall and there served witti a feast, purposely invented by the ladies to appease a hungry feeling and cause dyspepsia. It was a iiappy event and greatly” enjoyed by everyone. Those present from here were Messrs. J. Q. Neptune, Charles Ernst, Harry Friedman, Barney Kalver. Isadore Kalver. W. P. Edmundson, H. B. Heller and J. H. Heller. The fifth meeting of the Enterpean Fraternity wiis held at the home of Mrs. Ellingham last Thursday evening, at which time and place a most entertaining program was rendered according to the historical characters of Beethoven, Dante and Michael Angelb. Those who participated in the program were Miss Midge Smith, Dr. C. E. Neptune. Miss Blanche Carroll, Miss Francis Merryman, Mrs. Bader S. Hunt, Miss Minnie Oryis, Miss May Coverdale, Miss Blanche Dibble, Dr. Beardsley, Mrs. H. A. Fristoe, Mrs J. C. Patterson, Prof. Merrill, Mrs. Morrison. The arrangement of the program was by the representatives of the characters of Beethoven whose air name is Mrs. Ellingham, Dante by Dr. Beardsley, and Michael Angelo by Prof. Merrill, and the rendition of the same by the persons mentioned reflects great credit not alone upon those participating, but upon the fraternity entire. A motion prevailed which will continue the sessions through out the month of June, their constitution and bylaws being so amended. A letter from Mr. Derthick, commending the work of the club was read by Grand Master Miss Hattie Studabaker. By a vote four new members were admitted, they lieing Mrs. Ella Bell and Miss Irene Bell to the music section, and Mesdames A. R. Bell and D. E. Studabaker who .will take to art. Mrs. Nachtrieb presided. Miss Minnie Orvis will entertain the next meeting-

John C. Wingate, a member of the state tax board, was here Thursday and speift the entire forenoon at the auditor's office. He is making a tour of inspection, so to speak, and the subject of taxation was the , theme of discussion from the time i he landed until the departed. He found the Adams county officials laboring zealously along the lines as mapped out by the state board, and evidently was pleased with the work done. Many questions were asked and as many more an swered by this state board representative, and in all the time was profitably devoted to an equitable adjustment of the vexatious taxation problem. According to his conception of the state forestry law, we surmise that in a few, year-,, there will lie a few people who will wish they had not been so eager to evade the payment of taxes. He claims that the stipulations are so binding that it is almost impQSsible for a jx-rsipn to take advantage of its provisions and then live up to them in every detail. For instance, the law calls for so many trees on every acre so set aside, and the minute the number decreases on any one acre, violations are apparent. These violations make it possible to collect taxes on the entire tract so dedicated for all the time it has l>eeu so exempted, with penalty and interest added. This makesit somewhat risky to vimtufr' on this line of tax exemptions. Mr. Wingate also thinks it clouds the title to n al estate and makes the matter of transfer a little kinky. The state tax commissioner spent a pleasant halt day with the county assessor and other court house officials and bears all the credentials of being a pleasant gentleman with a thorough understanding of taxation and the elements surrounding the same. IN MEMORIAL Resolutions on on the death of Mrs. Parrish, Castle Hall of Eureka Temple, No, 39, Rathbone Sisters. In the providence of God it seihneth good that death should come to one and. all of his creatures. All flesh is as grass and all its glory fades like the flowers, disheveled in thwihds. Riches has wings and grandeur is a dream The man we celebrate must find a tomb, and ve that worship him ignoble irraves. We. as Rathbdne Sisters of Eureka Temple, Temple. No. 39 of Decatur, deeply deplore the loss of , our beloved sister, Nettie Parrish, who departed this life at DeCatur, Ind.. April 19,1903. Sister Parrish, wise in action, true in her obligations at all times, ready to make any sacrifice for the good of the order that circumstances required. Then many' months the heavy hand of pain was laid upon her. pa- and tiently lovingly borne, as sent from ■ the Divine Father, who does not carelessly try any of ♦he pure gold which he would refine. When the summons came, calling her to the ( Temple of God, she joined the angelic host, leaving behind her a life of beauty as an example to all, and the world better for her having lived in it. Resolved, That to the sorrowing husband and friends we extend our deepest sympathy in this,’ their bereavement, and be it further Resolved, That in her death this Temple recognizes an irreparable loss, that the charter of this lodge be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days.

Ever . to our hearts so near, Angels waft the gently o'er to that bright eternal shore. Alice Smith. Jessie Burdg. Florence Bain, committee.
