D., field secretary of the DePaw University at Greencastle delivered two eloquent sermons at the Methodist church yesterday and proved himself as heralded a master in instilling good thoughts in the minds of his hearers. In the morning his discourse was an educational sermon and was interesting, deep and entertaining, as was also his sermon at night. The church was crowded at both meetings and the audience are enthusiastic in their praises. Rev. Line will give up his present position next spring and will enter this conference. A crowd of young people enjoyed sleigh ride Sunday evening about seven miles west of this city to the homo of Charles Bracht. The affair was a leap year one and the boys had nothing to say in the matter whatever, all they had to do was to get ready and go. and the girls did the rest. The party originated among the girls at the mitten factory and every detail was carried out with flying colors. After arriving at Mr. Bracht's home, a fine lunch was served by the girls and taking it all in all a good time was had and everyone that was lucky enough to be there, especially the boys say they, would not have missed for half their lives, and wish leap year would come every year.

Zimmerman were candidates for trustee, and received the two highest vote- forty four each. They brought their troubles before the canvassing board at its meeting Saturday and < 'ounty- < 'hairman McKean appointed a committee for arbitration, this committee being composed of Henry Eiting. H. L. Sellemeyer. L. Miller and Lew Ellingham. They held a consultation with the two candidates and made several propositions which were turned to the wall, and finally agreed to give them the op portunity of trying their luck again, which was agreed to, and the time settled for next Saturday. At this time the voters of Kirkland will decide the tie in favor of one or the other of these two candidates. The same election board that did service last Friday* will officiate Saturday, and predictions arc free that almost a full vote will again be out. There were four candidates in the race at the primary, the vote being pretty evenly divided between the four, forty four being i the highest vote, and thirty’ three ' the lowest. i

In this terrible hour Dr. King s New Discovery for consumption turned despair into joy. The first bottle brought immediate relief and its continued use completely cured her. It’s the most certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed. Bottles 50c and SI. Trial bottle freest Blackburn A Christen’s drug store.

Miss Christina Miler, the thirteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Miller died Monday at three o’clock at the home of her parents six miles south of the city of a complication of diseases. Miss Miller had been sick for a number of weeks, first from typhoid fever, then measles and the last attack was pneumonia which she was unable to survive and death came to relieve her of suffering. All during her long siege of sickness she 1 was ne’er known to complain and > always had a’smile for the faithful who watched over her, and had often sa id that she was not afraid to meet her God. Her parents are uterly distracted over the loss of their darling and can hardly realize the same.

A tragedy was enacted on Chicago A Erie east bound limited train No. 8, near Ohio City. Saturday. A male passenger, traveling on a second class ticket and accompanied by a little girl, aged about three years, became crazed by overindulgence in strong drink and made a • wild leap from the steps of the cars. His mental condition was such that i the trian crew kept a close watch :on him, but, while unguarded for a moment he ran down the aisle and j jumped off. The conductor saw the j man make the start and ran after him, but reached the steps a second . too late. The train was stopped and the lifeless body was found i stretched upon the ground. It was taken to Ohio City and to E. Loo's I undertaking establishment. A | wound on the side of the head show- ■ ed that he had dived onto the ground I and that death must have been inI stantaneous. An examination of I his clothing proved him to be An- ; thony Krebeck, Bohemian, enroute from Ashland, Wis.consin, to New York < ’ity. Some of the papers disI closed that he had been employed I by the Stearns Lumber Company of, : Odah, Wisconsin. Among his es-1 sects were $425 in cash and a note for $75.

Far Famed. There is no medicine that has given satisfaction equal to that of Dr. Marshall's Lung Syrup This cough syrup is hailed with delight from all parts of the world. There can be nothing that has so thoroughly established itself in the minds and hearts of the American people. Every day we receive a hearty greeting and words of praise from some one that has been cured by this marvelous remedy. If you should need a medicine for your cough, all we ask is a trial, and we are satisfied that you will use no other, it is guaranteed to cure. Price 25c, 50c and 81. Sold by all dealers. J. B. Holthouse, is in recipt of a letter from his son Clarence who is at Denver. Colorado, stating that he had been very sick and had just escaped an attack of pneumonia but that now he was recovering as nicely as ever as one could hope for and would be out of the house in a few days. This letter was received Saturday and nothing further has been heard since but the presumption is that Clarence will now recover all right. This will no doubt prove pleasing to his many young friends here who had not learned of his sickness but that he is now recovering. 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 German 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 tie to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of the consumptive, can be prevented or stopped py taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be 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, 25c; regular size, 75c. Blackburn & Christen.
