It has been in use for over 30 years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used.

Box 234, Decatur, Ind. ts Oscar Way the Ossian man who has been pitching for Bluffton this year was tried out at Marion Wednesday and may stick in the central ■ league. He pitched five innings, al- ; lowed four hits, made a three base hit and one error. The Grand Rapids' special train for the Great Northern Indiana fair will be run during the last two I days of the fair, and will leave here at seven o'clock for Portland. This i will enable all visitors at the fair ■ from the south to get home in the evening. I was very bad, down nearly all the time suffering with my side, back and kidneys, and would have been dead I long ago without relief. After taking Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney i Balm a few days I found it was helping me, and by the time the second bottle was gone I was well and have been in good health since. James Fisher, Sr. For sale by Holthouse Callow & Co. s Harry Harrison, a Fort Wayne man, who has operated the Spring Beach hotel at Rome City for three years past, has left suddenly for the , west, leaving behind a number of anxious creditors. He has ordered his clothing sent to St. Louis. He also managed the saloon at Pleasant Point near Rome City. His life saved by Chamberlain’s colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy. “B. L. Byer, a well known cooper of this town, says he believes Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy saved his life last summer. He had been sick for a month with what the doctors call bilious dysentery, and could get nothing to do him any good until he tried this remedy. It gave him immediate relief,” says B. T. Little, merchant, Hancock, Md. For sale by Hoithouse Drug Co. s Agent Tom Miller of the-Clover Leaf reports that 233 tickets were sold at this city Sunday morning for the special excursion train. Os that number 188 went to Bluffton and 45 to Marion. A number a of Decatur people also drove over and it is said that fully two hundred people from this city were in attendance at the ball game. Do you need a cough medicine? If so send fcr a bottle of Dr. Marshall’s Lung syrup, it will help you as it has helped others. Do this now, or it may be too late.

By druggists. s Notwithstanding the fact that the Great Northern Indiana Fair directors were secured by contract to only pty a pec cent of the premiums to exhibitors in case of bad weather, the awards were made in full, although the fair was a big failure in point of attendance on account of the rain. All • Wetc laew so appreciated this act that they say that as long as the Great Northern Indiana gives a show they will be in attendance.

In the last analysis nobody knows, but we do know that it is under strict law. Abuse that laweven slightly, pain results. Irregular living means derangement of the organs, resulting in consumption, headache or liver trouble. Dr. King s New Life Pills quickly re-ad justs this.

The scheme provides for a trust formed between the wheat growers of the United States , Russia and Austria. The plan is not a new one but has been in the minds of Russian officials for some time and they are confident of its success. It is said that a farmer's society consisting of 30,000 growers has been formed in this country which is ready to enter a combination. Fearful odds against him. Bed-j ridden, alone and destitute. Such, in brief was the condition of an old soldier by the name of J. J. Havens, \ ersailles. O. For years he was troubled with Kidney disease and neither doctors nor medicine gave him relief. At length he tried Electric Bitters. It put him on his feet in short order and now he testifies. “I’m on the road to complete recovery.” Best on earth for liver and kidney troubles and all forms of stomach and bowel complaints.

The writer states that she believes the murdered man to be a brother of her father from the facts which she learned in an article in the Chicago Tribune. Her uncle, she states has not been heard of for some time and she fears that he who was killed is the man. Owes his life to n eighbor s kind ness. Mr. D. P. Daugherty, well known throughout Mercer and Summer counties, W. Va., most likely owes his life to the kindness of a neighbor. He was almost hopelessly affected with diarrhoea; was attended by two physicians who gave him little, f any, relief, when a neighbor learning of his cerious condition, brought him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which cured him in less than twentyfour hours. For sale by the Holthouse Drug Co. s Dr. D. D. Clark has been advised ’by br. McOsca/oi' fort Wayne "fnar the growth which caused Isaac Roe's death was a cancer. The growth was submitted to the Fort Wayne doctor to clear up a point which could not be agreed upon by the doctors who attended the man during this illness. Dr. McOscar wrote as follows: “Dr. Griebel and myself have examined the growth taken from the body of Isaac Roe and.pswft'Wj''-- it te® ’-vaiMWSSS*:" A boys wild ride for life. With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life, 18 miles, to get Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H. Brown, of Leesville, Ind, endured death's agonies from asthma; but this wanderful medicine gave instant relief and cured him. He writes: “I now sleep soundly every night.” Like marvelous cures of consmption, pneu monia, bronchitis, coughs, colds and grip prove its matchless merit for all throat and lung troubles.

Gert Reynolds was appointed guardian for his little daughter, who is but a year old and who last week, through the death of her grand-father became heir to an estate valued at about S2OOO. This sum invested for twenty years will give Miss Reynolds a snug little fortune. Her j grand father lived at Rockford, Ohio. He was rather an eccentric old gentleman and when preparing him for burial those at ending discovered a belt on his person which bore evidence of having been worn for ten or fifteen years. Inside this lielt was found about SISOO in greenbacks. He had considerable money and other prop- . erty.

Med Miller, whiboverat Bluffton I Sunday was for a half hour or, '‘tn ore a prisoner. Os course he wa> , not locked up for any ■ .it was merely an accident, iv .«• . dropped into the Weicking store and when inside, the propr - ctor closed up his store, not know- • ing that any one was in the place. • Med soon learned of his incarcera- : tion and signaled to a passer by ■ who run across O.

Bayes went to Med s assis ■ ance and found the proprietor of the store, who soon set Miller free. 1 Frank Long, a laborer on the Monroe street improvement, has tw o : livid scars on his head which have not yet healed. While in Lima 1 Ohio, he was sand bagged on one o that city’s main streets ar d roblie ’ of sixteen dollars. Two men struck , him over the head with a heavy , stove poker and dragged him into a 1 by place and searched his clothing. Before they had finished he partly revived and was given another rap and choked into insensibility. He was found by the police some time after and was taken to the hospital where he was confined almost a week. John Everett and fifty-nine other residents and property owners along ■ Thirteenth street, have signed and filed a petition, the same being pre- ; sented to the commissioners, asking that the Decatur & Monroe macadam road be extended along said street to township line. This petition conforms to a provision of law enacted by the last legislature, which provides that extension to macadam roads may be made in this way. The petitioners recite the fact that said street has never been macadamized or stoned, that its improvement now is of publlic benefit and utility, and asks that the law be conformed with and the line of work contracted for. Should bids I for construction be asked, the price contracted can not exceed that paid for the original work. In other words, should this street be contracted, the price dare not exceed that of the Decatur & Monroe road. As yet the board of commisioners have taken no action upon the petition, and likely will not until next regular meeting.
