4 new councilman made its aperanee this morning at ten tt t the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kirsch and Pete is strutting up and down the street today as if he owned the town. Peter nevertheless is proud of this new honor and savs he is a dandy. Both mother and babe are doing well. The Bluffton News says Saturday Mock & Sons filed in the Adams crcuit court a complaint for divorce for Elizabeth Sovine in which she charred her husband, John Sovine, a prominent farmer near Honduras with habitual intoxication and abuse. John came in today and made the promise that he would quit drinking, treat his wife better and the divorce case will be dismissed'

In the Memorial Day services very important matter was overlooked by the committee on arrangements as to who would have chrage of the formation and movement of thf days parade, and to this position the committee have appointed Comrade A. J. Teeple as Marshlal and Comrades T. R. Moore and M. Wertzberger to act as aids. These gentlemen will have full charge and any information desired as to the line of march may be obtained from them.

Mrs. Elmer Yocum residing near Vera Cruz met with an accident yesterday which will likely cost her the sight of her right eye. Mrs. Yocum was chopping kindling wood when a piece flew up striking her in the eye. The lady suffered a great deal of pain and her condition as such as to make the need of a physician evident. Dr. Fowler was called and attended to her iniury. The doctor stated today that it was imposible yet to state whether or not the sight was permanently destroyed although he was of the opinion that she never could see again.—Bluffton Banner.

The Bachelor maids met in regular social session Tuesday’ evening with Miss May Heffner on 3 street and from what we can gather from the reports of the same a most enjoyable evening was spent. Whist was installed as the pro-dominating game and a fierce contest took place for several hours to see who would carry away the honors and at the close of the tenth game the winners proved to be 4 Misses Edith Wemhoff and Bertha Voglewede. While Misses Jesse McLean and Bertha Fullenkamp were awarded the consolation prizes. During the evening enjoyment Miss Mary proceeded to serve her guests with a sumptous repast and at a late hour all adjourned to meet next Wednesday’ evening with Miss Haynie Confer on First street.

Wit h the hope that it will assist in the battle that is now being waged in Indiana against consumption and in the movement for frtate hospital for tuberculosis patients, a society the members of which arg pledged to do all in their power to prevent tuberculosis by giving the proper care to patients, is soon to be organized in Indiana. The organization will likely lie known as the Indiana Anti Tuberculosis society, though the name has not been definitly decided upon. The proposed organization was informally discussed at the meeting of the state medical society. The Physicians of the state will take the first steps in the organizato n of the society, but it will ultimatly include those of the general public interested in the movinent. It is the plan to have subordinate organ - izations of the society all over the state.

According to all signs and saws the coming summer will be a chilly one and although there are prospects for a good yield of fruit there will be frosts and cold damp days to keep back the growth of all growing things until the latter part of the season when the real developing time will take place. “This theory is based on an old sign that the Gemans have always observed to the effect that if the three days of May the 13th, 14th and 15th pass without a frost then the season all through will be warm and fine for everything that grows in the ground or on vine bush or tree. If there should be frost on either of these three days known as ‘ ice days’ then look out for cold summer but a very warm and pleasant fall.

Much speculation is being indulged in by citizens as to the reason for the action of the Erie in “laying off” so many of its men must at this time when business is particularly good. Sunday President Underwood passed through the city in his private car accompanied by his family and Sunday another cut was made in the service. Some say it is but the natural result of the campaign year when positions count with labor and every one else for that matter. Others say it is a scheme for freezing out small stock holders, but one of those more intimately concerned with the officials in a position to know says it is nearing the close of the fiscal year for the road and that this state of affairs is the result of a desire to make a large dividend for stock holders and that it is merely temporary and as soon as these are paid that things will again readjust themselves to a better order and those thrown out will be returned to service.—Huntington Journal.

Miss Mina Case entertained a number of her young friends from this city Tuesday’ at her home at Magley in honor of her cousin Miss Lillian Case of St. Louis and from all reports a most enjoyable time was had. All kinds of conveyances were used by the young people in their endeavor to not miss the fun and the livery stables here were short of rigs during the evening. Numerous games were played and appropriate prizes awarded, i] Manger Hively yesterday received a Irage photograph of the Delphos Ball team who plav here on next Sunday anil it is a handsome thing, and is now on display* in the Democrat window. This team cannot be too highly recommended as they are well versed in the art of playing the National game and play it fast. The Rosenthals too are putting up the real article and since Sunday’s game against the Blue’s show that they can go some themselves where forced to do so. The game Sunday from the present outlook promises to be one of the best of the season and you should not fail to attend. Farrell will again be in the box for the Rosenthals and should he pitch this game as on last Sunday, he should prove to be a puzzle to Delphos. Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Ann Shackley at the corner of Third and Marshall streets occurred the death of William Lenhart an old and distinguished citizen of this city and county, after an illness of four weeks duration with that dread disease tu' erculosis, the ravagings of which he could not bear up under. For years Mr, Lenhart has lived in our city making his home with his sister ana following the carpenters trade which however he was forced to give up three yeras ago on account of his bad health. All during his career as a carpenter he was a partner with Titus Ernst and under their management was successful until the dissolution. During the past three years Mr. Lenhart had led a close and secluded life seldom being seen on the streets and then could always be found at his old haunt Blackburn’s Drug Store. He was a very conservative man and one had to become acquainted with, and was seldom known to force a conversation. He was kind hearted and generous as far as 'his means would permit and was always touched at the sight of a person in need and was alays willing two lend a helping hand. He was sixty years four months and thirteen davs of age. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at the Methodist church at two o’clock Rev. Pontius officiating, and interment will be made at the Alpha Cemetery. He leaves two sisters, both of whom live here and one brother who resides in Kansias, to mourn their loss.

NATURE'S OWN CI'RE~“~ Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without Dangerous Dragging of the Stomrch. The popularity and increase in the sales of Hyomei are unique in the annals of medicine. Such astonishing cures have been made by this remarkable remedy tnat the propreitors have authorized The Holthouse Drug Co. to sell every package of Hyomei under an absolute guarantee that it will cure catarrh. It it does not the purchaser can have his money refunded by The H > Ithouse Drug Co. Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. It is the only method of treatment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air passages, a balsamic air that destroy all catarrh germs in the breathing organs, enriches and purifim the blood with additional ozone and makes permanent and complete cures of catarrh. The compWte ilyomei outfit costs

but SI.OO and consists of an inhailer, a medicine dropper and a’ bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her methods of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. Breathe through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day and your catarrh is cured. That’s all. If not cured The Holthouse Drug Co. will refund your money.
