H. “No remedy helped me until I began using Electric Bitters,Jwhich did me more good than all the medicines I ever used. They have also kept my wife in excellent health for years.

The colt became frightened and he could not control him and he headed down the public high way at a break neck rate of speed and at last wound up his performance by running in a ditch where he fell, throwing Mr.Roop out on the horse where he managed to get control of same. Mr. Roop was quite badly up and the buggy demolished, and he says he does not care to ’sass through the mill again. 1 r

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive meaaures. The best thought of the world is being given the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of eases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumoniaoften results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty I in breathing and pains in the chest, i then it announced that the patient has i pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by Hotthouse Drug Co. A gang of “raised bill"’ men are supposed to be working Muncie and towns in the gas belt are warned to look out for their product. Several Muncie business houses havejsuffered from the depredations of the swindlers. The work is evidently that of experts in pen and ink and acid work. A silver certificate of the $1 variety is used. The 1 mark is illuminated with ink and acid used in etching a “5” in its place. Wherever the word “one” is printed there has been a substitution of the word “five” while in the center of the bill, the large figure “1” has been completely boltted out with ink. At first glance the average person would be willing accept the bill. Upon close examination the counterfeit is easily discovered. The raisers of the bill are evidently experts in their line as the bills are accepted in almost every instance.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Detro desire in this manner to thank their neighbors and friends who so Study I assistde them so kindly during the i sickness and death of their infant child. There will be a big output of maple syrup in Indiana this spring and . the farmers who have sugar camps 1 on their farms are getting ready for I the first “run.” The extremely hard winter has been beneficial to the hardy sugar trees, and their vitality has not been injured by continuous thaws and freezes during the early part of the winter. As a result when the early thaws come, there will lie an unlimited flow of sap, and the farmers will be busy. The retail price will range from 90 cents to $1.25 a gallon. This county’s supply of maple syrup is becoming less each year because of the rapid disappearance of sugar trees, but there is a promise of larg er quanities this spring than ever before. Dick Townsend arrived Sunday evening from New Orleans where he has been for a week looking after important business matters, and in speaking of his trip says that the people do not realize what a great change there is in the temperature of these two places. While in New Orleans he says he was glad to shed his coat and vest during the day, it being so warm, the thermometer standing at eighty five degrees in the shade. While there he took in the Mardi Gras festivities and pronounces it one of the greatest sights he ever witnessed, the parade being a magnificient affair, thousands and thousands of people participating and mile after mile of floral decorations. This occasion is celebrated in the same plan as our Fourth of July only it is considerable longer. Dick is high in his praise of the south and may locate there. The Toledo, Indianapolis & South wesern railroad is another proposed railroad that would like to talk business with the citizens of Portland. Lee M. Harris of Toledo, was in the city Wednesday and Thursday consulting some of the business men. The company seems undecided just where the line should enter the Hoosier state. Three points for crossing the Grand Rapids railroad are considered, namely, Decatur, Berne and Portland. The fact is that by the way of Berne is most direct route. The road is to be a steam line. Mr. Harris is an old newspaper man and in 1879 started the first paper ever published in Fort Recovery, Ohio. It was known as the New Era and was printed on old Army press. A meeting is to lie held at the New Portland hotel on next Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock at which T.H. Tracy, of the Toledo, Indianapolis & Southwestern railroad proceti is also president of the Toledo Railway & Terminal Com pany which recently completed the Toledo belt line at a cost of $4,000,000 and is a man who has a reputation of succeeding with every one of his many gigantic undertakings. —Portland Review.

In the large show*"window at Fristoe’s Smoke House stands a picture that is above all criticsand is a marvel in beauty and effect, the coloring and shading are perfect and when taken into consideration that the studio was in a dark room and all the work was done’by lamp light excells anything of this nature ever exhibited to the public when it comes to home production. The picture was co-operatively drawn by Lee Porter, son of Horace Porter, the harness man and Charles K. Hively, an employee of the Democrat. The picture is drawn in crayon and taken from the scene of Washington crossing the Delaware and is most realistic, the figure of the Father of Our Country standing out most conspiciously, and with a determined expression, which so marked his career. It also brings out and shows the hardships that this great General was forced to contend with. The time consumed in designing and drawing this magnificent piece of work, was exactly four weeks, and in so doing these two gentlemen have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that they are in a class above what we call amateurs and verge on the class of professionals. Taking everything into consideration the boys are entitled to a great deal of credit for this masterpiece of art and should realize a nice price for the same if they desire to sell. The work may be viewed at any time this week in the place mentioned.

Mr. and-<s. W. O. Simoft who have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. John Drummond, returned to thenhome in Salem, Oregon, Sunday. The return to their western home is indeed a sad one, as their only child, girl, aged six, died in this city two weeks ago the remains being enterred here.

Good spirits don’t all come from Kentucky. Their main source is the liver—and all the fine spirits ever made in the Blue Glass State could not remedy a bad liver or the hundred - and-one ill effects it produces. You can’t have good spirits and a bad liver at the same time. Your liver must be in fine condition if you would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful, bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and successful in your pursuits. You can put your liver in fine condition by using Green’s August Flower the greatest of all medicines for the liver and stomach and a certain cure for dys pepsia or indigestion. It has been a favorite household remedy for over thirty-five years. August Flower will make your liver healty and active and thus insure vou a liberal supply of “good spirits.” Trial size 25c; regular bottles 75c. At all druggists. “DO IT TO-DAY.” The time-worn injunction, “Never put off ’til to morrow what you can do to-day,” is now generally presented in this form: “Do it to-day!” That is the terse advice we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today—and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve vour cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deepseated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure —as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung troublt. New trial bottles, 25c; regular size, 75c. At all druggists.

CLIMATIC CURES. The influence of climatic conditions in the cure of consumption is verv 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 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 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. THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE LANDS 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 locating in the South west—in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisi ana and Texas. Manv who have been unable to own their homes in the older country are buying land at the low 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, cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improvements can be bought very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly good idea of this country. It tells about the soil, crops, climate, people, schools, churches, water and health. It contains maps showing locations of counties, towns, railways and streams, and gives names and addresses of real estate dealers in the towns. Reduced rates for homeseekers and colonists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of each month, byway of St. Louis, Cairo or Memphis and the Cotton Belt Route. Let us send you our literature and quote you rates. Address E. W. Laßeaume, Gen. Pass, and Ticket Agent, CottonJßelt Route, St. Louis, Mo.
