A team belonging .to a farmer named Sheeler broke from a hitch nek North Second street Thsrsday and tore down Second street in away that scattered everything in front of them. They ran upon the lawn in front of Mathias Kirsch's home and managed in their wiki career to uproot three young shade trees. They Were finally caught by W. A. Lower and returned to the owner. Luckily the team escaped without a scratch. • Wiley Magner was m police court Thursday but got oft with a few words of warning. He was charged with intoxication, complaint having been made by E. Wormcastle, an old gentleman who boards with the Magners. Wiley is said to have gone home and started trouble and his boarder informed the police. When they arrived Wiley was sound asleep and when he appeared before Mayor Coffee, that official discharged him with a lecture. He told parties on the street that morning that he would no longer live with his wife and a divorce suit may result. Ten years ago a Plymouth farmer put a X mark on a silver dollar and went to town and spent it with a merchant, says an exchange. Before the year was out he got the marked dollar back again for poultry and spent it again with a Plymouth merchant. Four times in six years that dollar came home to him for produce, and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it in change nearly four years ago, he sent it to Chicago to a mail order house that has amassed a hundred million dollars selling third rate stiff. He has never seen that dollar since and never will until the crack of doom. That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him, never help build up the town or county, never bless and brighten the home of his neighbors. He sent it entirely out of its circle of usefulness to him. A. Van Camp, one of our city's most enterprising business men, is fast developiing his foundry and manufacturing establishment into one of the best equipped institutions of its kind in the state. A number of buildings improvements we e c immenced Thursday morning which “when completed will give them much additional floor space which is badly needed at the present time. The G. R. & I. ralroad company have just finished a side track over 200 feet long which leads to his place of business and along this he will build fifty foot shipping dock and large coal, coke and pig iron storage bins. A large one story wareroom or repository. 100 feet long by 35 feet wide, will also lie built. The building will be used exclusively for the storing of milling machinery, the manufacture of which has gained Mr. Van Camp quite a reputation in the commercial world. His factory is always a busy place and to one who visits when the blast furnace is roaring at the time when the casting is done he is doubly impressed of what’s doing. An oil deal was consummated Wednesday by George W. Bolds of this city, that is one of the largest deals that has taken place in this territory for some time. The firm of Argue McKisson & Co., in which Mr. Bolds has an interest transfer their holdings in this field to the Indiana Oil Compnay, the consideration mentioned in the transfer of the property being one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. The leases held by the old company and included in the transfer cover 1,458 acres of good territory, on which there are 55 producing wells. That the property is a good one is shown by the fact that it during the year 1902, produced ; n round numbers 48,000 barrels of oil. The property is located in Adams county Indiana, and Mercer county, Ohio, and is probably the best equipped plant in this field. Telephones connect every well in the string with the others and there is every other convenience that will in any way aid in the operation of the leases. Four pumping stations are included in the property transferred to the new company. Mr. Bolds will be interested in the new company that will be formed and will lx* retained by them as the manager of their interests in the field occupy the same position toward it as he has heretofore done toward the old. The articles of association of the new company will be filed the coming week: —Portland Commercial-Review.

Train number two of the Clover Leaf which is duefl to leave this city at 11.50 was delayedtwo hours at Bluffton Thursday. A few moments before it arrived at that place a freight engine had run off the track and it seemed impossible to get it it back on without the assistance of a wrecking crew. The locomotive was running at a high rate of speed and as it left the rails it crashed into aT de livery wagon which was completely wrecked. Decatur passengers were on the delayed train say that an aged lady, whose name was not learned, was on the wagon at the time and that she was quite badly injured. After two hours hard work the train crews with the assistance of the p issenger engine succeded in getting the derailed locomotive on the track and all was well once again. VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF DIARRHOEA. “About six years ago for the first in my life, I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea,” says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. “I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years I have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians’ prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county,our present home, and one day I happened Jfe see an adveriisement’orctiamberiain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me.” For sale by Holthouse Drug Co. j The wedding of O. B. Sims and Miss M. Merrias was heldl at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Okley two miles east of here. Rev. Kohn from Willshire officiating. Among those present were, Chas.

The evening was very happily spent. After the ceremony was performed supper . was served and the country boys welcomed the newly married couple. The groom is one of Adams county's most promising young men and greatly admired by many friends who all join in wishing him happiness and success. The bride is one of the county's fairest belles and everybody in this community wishes that happiness may be her lot.

Under the recently passed law it is possible for every county to have a hospital and it would not be a bad thing for the people of this county to follow the example of their neighbors. Such an institution would not only save dollars but would save lives and the establishment of the place is certainly on issue. BRUTALLY TORTURED. A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Calif, writes. “For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from rheti-1 matismand nothing relieved methough I1 tried everything known. I came I across Electric Bitters and it’s the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me.” Just as good for liver and kidney troubles and general debility. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaranteed by Blackburn <V Christen, Druggists. j The fcrop conditions'for Indiana are not. over encouraging but will compare favorably with those of other states. The agricultural department summarizes the prospects for the week, ending July 6 as follows. Very warm with rain excessive in some portions but generally’ deficient. Heavy crop of clover, seemed in good condition; wheat I harvest progressed rapidly, thresh- ( ing under way with yield below the average. Corn short and uneven but growing vigorously’; oats promise too light to be fair yields, potatoes and minor crops doing well; apples ceased falling and promise fair yield. Brain-food nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded . by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still 1 another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but will sustain every other part. Yet, however, good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. Y T ou must , prepare for their appearance or pre- , vent their coming by taking regular doses of Green’s August Flower, the ( favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, ] stimulates the liver to healthy action. 1 purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You can ; get this reliable remedy at Blsckburn ( & Christen’s.
