H >rrnff of Decatur in comp. ,- vjt two men representing an inte r >in line, visited this pla ■<* 1 ist eek and created quite j an excitement about such lines. If some kind of an enterprise d ies not strike Salem soon it will dry up and blow away—just bring your interurban line along. Guess we can ride as fast as the car goes. At a speeding and arithmetic school held at district No. 51 last Thursday night, a pupil from that school made the highest honors in spelling, but the Salem school far excelled them in mathematics. The vililage blacksmith, Chester Shin. Goes up the walk with face agrin; And feet a going pit-a-pat. Say, what's the cause for all of that? A brand new girl, why that's the reasot, He's saying things quite out of season; And no ! that walk he aways takes Is h r as mother's buckwheat cakes.

Augsberger does not claim j to be the Moses tha smote the water but will smite the heads of the thieves should he catch them in the ad. The program rendered by our Literary Society was one of desired intei est Following enchanting vocal and instrumental music came the exaugural address by the out going president, H E Rittgers, inaugural address by President elect, C. E Runyon. Speeches by L. E. I Opliger and D L. Miller were in order. Resolved that capitol pun-1 ishment should be abolished was the matter of debate. The affirmative carried a two thirds vote of the judges. With cherishing prospects did our people await the pending of the Washintgon Memorial which was tendered by Heller sFamous Junior Band on Monday evening., the’ National day of the father of this country. Our fondest hop* was realized by reason of the termination of a grand success from any stand piiut. The judicious calssical music as rendered by the above local renowned company together with the patriotic speeches delivered by S. P. H ianm and L. L. Baum* gartm i*»*l .ened the hearts, inspired the*C)uli and enlightened the minds and tilled tifc large audience with enthusiasm, which was shown ; by their many and prolonged encores. The history of this Itand is j briefly told. It has been fifteen

months since Bert Heller induced a few of his comiades to organize a brass band, additional members , were added from time to time when now they command twenty instruments. )t is worthy of remark that proficient outside help was very meager, their success being alm< st solely due to the untiring efforts ; of the organizer and director. Mr. Heller, who spared neither time nor , pains in raising the standard in this . art however he prompted by boys who had excelsior written on thier banners. Prof. Heller in presenting their entretainment had but a single object, namely that to please his audience. To this end the utmost diligence and means were blended in drill, and decorations of the room was simply faultless for rhe special occassion. The last session for the season of the H. T. P. teachers institute was held in the high school room here Saturday Feb. 20. First subject. Ivanhoe, S. P. Hoffman and E. C. Runyon. The subject as divided was ably handled by the speakers. A moti_>n prevailed to discontinue i the regular institute work for the day and the time be devoted in debate. Adjourned for dinner. At 1:30 o'clock preparations were made to discuss the question: Resolved that girls should receive a different education from that of boys. Peter Hoffman was appointed temporary chairman and Misses Lizzie French. Pontius and James Kizer, fl. £. Rittgers. Lawrence Oplinger and Daniel Baumgartner were opposedby L. L. Baumgartner, S. P. Hoff man and E. C. Runyon The negative received a two thirds vote of the judges.

AFTER SICKNESS HOW TO REGAIN STRENGTH Our Druggists, Smith, Yager & Falk, Giie Some Suggestions—We Vouch for Their Staceritj. During the past few months there has been a great deal of sickness of one kind and another in Decatur, largely induced bv the recent unseasonable weather. In speaking of this to a member of the firm of Smith. Yager i Falk, our leading druggists, the other day, he said: "Yes, there has been, and is. a lot of sickness in the town, and while most people get over the acute stage rather quiekly, it leaves the blood impoverished. and it is hard to regain lost vitality. The patient’s strength is depleted. the system generally demoralized and relapses are continually feared. "The one thing to aid recovery is to give the patient a blood building and strength restoring tome, one that will give strength to every organ in the body. “Now, truthfully.” continued he. “I don't believe there is another remedy in the country equal to our delicious cod liver oil preparation. Vino), for making rich, red blood, and building up strength. I say this from an intimate knowledge of almost every medicine on the market, and after dulv considering what Vinol is and ha's done. "Vinol contains every one of the body building, medicinal elements of cod liver oil, without one drop of oil to retard its work, and this with organic iron, which is a needful constituent for the blood, dissolved in a delicious table wine, makes Vinol. It acts directly on the stomach, creates a healthy ap]>etite. and enables the digestive organs to obtain the necessary elements to make rich, red blood, healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and create strength, and you know what you are taking.” Said he, ‘ Such letters as this prove the value of Vinol after sickness.” Mr. Edgar A. Howe, of Concord. N. H.. writes that after being confined to his 'bed for thirteen weeks with the grippe he was weak and emaciated, all toni?s seemed of no avail, but Vinol restored, in a marvellous manner, his : strength, flesh and appetite. Mrs. C. H. Ward well, of Lynn, Mass., writes that the measles left her j little daughter with a cough and in a very bad condition, but Vinol cured the cough and made her well. Mr. John Emerson.*of Bangor, Me., writes that after grippe, at seventy years of age, Vinol built up his strength and gave him new life. Mr. James Stuart, of Pittsburg, Pa., writes that after a severe fever he was weak and emaciated, but Vinol built him up. made him strong and well. “We might goon quoting from hundreds of such letters,” continued he. “You see no one need take our word for what Vinol will do. and it is be cause of such proof that we solemnly agree that if it doee no good where it iis recommended that it shall not cost ja penny. That’s fair, isn’t it?” Smith. Yager & Falk, Druggists.

Indianapolis. Feb. 24. —The United States supreme court has decided in i the Ohio river case that Indiana has jurisdiction over the Ohio river con | current with that of Kentucky. The decision ends a controversy that has raged since the two states were admitted into the union. The Kentucky authorities held that that state s jurisdiction in legal processes extended' to low water mark on the Indiana side. while the Indiana authorities took the position that each state had , jurisdiction over the river. The case in which the decision was made was the result of a civil action at Evansville, at which a writ of attachment was served for a boat in the Ohio river. The Kentucky court of appeals, to which the case was carried. decided that the contention for which Kentucky had stood, was correct. The supreme court, in making its rulings, reversed the decision of the Kentucky court. Burned to Death in Jail. Guthrie, O. —Carl Black and Cecil Hogetr. two young men. were burned to deuth in the city jail at Mountain View.
