A freight wreck in the Clover ! Leaf yards at Marion occurred early Thursday and several cars were derailed and piled upon the track. Particulars cojjld not be obtained but it is stated no lives were lost. The passenger train, east bound, and due here at 5:25 was delayed five hours arriving here about ten o’clock. The Bluffton foot ball team is our after trouble —wants a game with anybody, even Ossian. It is a pity that foot ball is an unacquired art in this rural center. If we had a team here it would be dandelions to pumpkin seeds that it could ! Aim the sooty pigskin punchers from i the county seat. Some one has suggested that a team be got together and drilled, but the season is too nearly over, even if the sentiment of the public was in favor of it. Foot ball does not thrive in this climate. The hours are too long the practice to hard and the surgeons not plenty enough. Foot ball is a doctor's game and we don't want to work our physicians to death. Just imagine how hard it would be to care for an epidemic of small pox and for two or three dozen foot ball suicides per diem. No, Bluffton will have to amuse herself I with Decatur. It is said by those j who know that Decatur is amply ' able to give the Blufftonians a con- ! tinuous vaudeville in any old game I without much labor—even poker. ! Ossian will have to sit back and rest now that the fever of base ball and Pawnee Bill’s show are over. Probably we could entertain them with a little checkers or euchre, i but nothing that is more exciting ! would suit us.—Ossian News. On Thursday the Supreme court ’ reversed the judgment by the Mont- ' gomery circuit court, refusing to I mandate the commissioners of Clinton county to levy a tax on Cen- | ter township to pay an appropria- > tion of $20,000 in aid of the Frank- | fort & State Line railroad. The appropriation was made in 1878 and the the matter has been in litigation ever since. Numerous suits have been brought to compel the public officers to levy’ and collect this tax. and this is the fifth time the Supreme court has decided different phases of the controversy. Judge West was the trial judge at Crawfordsville. In this latest decision the court declared that nothing is now open for contest except “the question as to the form of the execution,” by which previous judgments awarding the voted aid to the railroad company shall be enforced. The Supreme court sends the case back to Montgomery’ county to be retired. The case has at different times been tried in the court of White and Montgomery counties. As things look at this time the taxpayers are the losers, though things may’ change as they have before in this famous case. There have been times before when it looked as though the tax must be paid, but each time the case has been decided in favor o£ the .wonlo Tbp.* original sum voted was $20,000, but teday it amounts to over SIOO,OOO. If the tax is ever placed upon the duplicate for collection it will create a legal tangle the like of which was never before witnessed in this township, inasmuch as every’ piece of property that has changed hands since the tax was voted would be affected. The owner now would have to goback to the party he purchased from, that one back to the one purchased from, and so on back to the time the tax was voted. —Frankfort Crescent.

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE LANGS ARE CHEAP AND CLIMATE IS MILD. Low Rates for Homeseekers and Colonists Twice a Month. Many farmers in the Northern and Eastern states are selling their high priced landsand l&caiscg' in the South'-' west —in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisi ana and Texas. Manv who have been unable to own their homes in the older I country are buying land at the low I prices prevailing in the new country—ss, $lO, sls per acre and up. These , lands are mostly cut-over timber lands, some of them possessing a deep rich | soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover. I cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improve- ! ments can be bought very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly | good idea of this country. It tells I about the soil, crops, climate, people, I schools, churches, water and health. I It contains maps showing locations of I counties, towns, railwaysand streams, I and gives names and addresses of real I estate dealers in the towns. j Reduced rates for homeseekers and I colonists are in effect first and third I Tuesdays of each month, byway of I St. Louis, Cairo or Memphis and the I Cotton Belt Jioute.

He Learned a Great Truth. — It is said of John Wesley that he once said to Mistress Wesley: “\A by do you tell that ehildjthe same thing over and over again?” “John Wesley, because once telling is not enough.” It is for i this same reason that you are told again and again that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy cure colds and grip; it counteracts any tendency ot these diseases to result in pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and safe to take.

Y.,” but when all other remedies failed, we saved her life with Dr. King’s New Discovery.

They expect to finish this week and open up a new department in the harness line. They will make and keep in stock a fine line of fancy and novelty harness. The boys are hustlers ahd the business is an enterprising one, and they certainly deserve their share of the harness patronage. CLIMATIC CURES. The influence of climatic conditions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. The poor patient, and the rich patient, too, can do much better at home by proper attention to food digestion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning is made certain by Ger-■ man Syrup, so is a good night’s rest and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Restless nights and the exhaustion d ue to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of the consumptive, can be prevented or stopped py taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you lie able to go to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thousands of consumptives there, the few who are benefitted and regain strength are those who use German Syrup. Trial > bottles, 27c: regular size, 75c. Blacki i burn A Christen.

It will be too late. -If you will let a cough run on until it has affected your lungs, it will be too late as consumption will surely be the result and death will end all, why are so many people careless about a cough, careful there is danger, and if not stopped in time it will certainly cause serious trouble and probably prove fatal If you will only send for Ur. Marshall's Lung Syrup, it will cure you, as it has never failed to cure the worst cases, and is guaranteed to i give satisfaction, you can try this ' for 25 cents why delay. By ad druggists. 0 Auguts Fuelling and Henry Franz, figured in a serious runaway accident northeast of town Thursday, and as a result Mr. Fuelling was so badly bruised that the services of Dr. J. S. Boyers were required. The horse became frightened at some object along the road and dashed along at a terrible rate of speed The buggy was demolished, and it was at first feared that Mr. Fuelling was seriously’ hurt,but Dr. Boyers stated that his patient was doing nicely. Mr. Franz escaped without being hurt in the least. Do Good -It Pays.- A Chicago man has observed that, ’’Good deeds are better than real estate deeds - some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cannot possibly lose by it. Most men more appreciate a kind word and encouragement more than substantia] help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: “My good friend, cheer up. A few doses of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold,and there is no danger whatever from pneumonia when vou use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many a time.” Sold by Holthouse drug Co.
