Misses Emma Jackson. Nettie Smith, Edna Crawford, Alice Hurtte and Mayme Voglewede nud' Mr. W. A. Kenbler and George McAllen al! spent Sunday with J. D. Miller at Monroeville a fine time is reported. There is undoubtedly at work in the state a strong influence to secure the equal or the radical modification of the Nicholson law, but the prospects are now that the attempt to act changed in any essential particular is not likely to succeed. The indications are, too. that the efforts to have the law made more drastic will meet a sim ilar fate, and the legislature will, in all probability, wholly refuse to consider appeals to alter the provisions of the law. People who visited the cemetery Monday found beautiful and well kept grounds with everything showing the hand of a custodian who knows his business. Horace Botthoff has been at work only a few months but he has done his duty as cemetery sexton as he has always done his labor, right. He is deserving of praise and is getting it on every hand. The trustees realize his worthiness and are not backward in saying so. The G. A. R. attended church in a body Sunday accompanied by the W. R. C. and Sons of Veterans. It was memorial Sunday and the services were held at the Presbyterian church, Rev. E. A. Allen delivering an appropriate sermon which was greatly appreciated by those present. The songs consisted of national airs, such as Columbia, America and Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp ground. These songs were printed on souvenir cards which were distributed. An enjoyable feature of the services was a cornet solo by Jesse Sellemeyer. Frank Bell of Decatur was in town this week on electrical business and also looking up a location to open a branch office here. Mr. Bell intends to open up an office by next Monday. He will have on hands all kinds of electrical supplies and will be prepared to meet all demands in wireing, etc. While in town Mr. Bell contracted with a number of parties to wire their houses and has promises for a large number more. He is a licensed electrician and will be able to do work of a high standard.—Berne "News. Commissioner Mcßeth has completed the work of rerating the town for the insurance companies and same will go into effect about July Ist. A meeting of the various agents was held this morning and the by laws and constitution of rhe Indiana Association adopted. T. M. Gallogly was chosen president of the local board and J. H. Heller secretary and treasurer The new rates make quite a change, some being increased considerable while other are decreased quite noticeably. The cheapest rate in town is on the Old Adams County Bank building which is rated at seventy cents, while the other risks run from that figure to <6.20. A peculiar thing is that nearly all special hazzards such as mills, etc are reduced. brick buildings are increased slightly while stocks and single frame buildings are lower. As usual when insurance rates change much disatisfaction may be manifested but there seems to be no alternative than improving the risk, carrying your own insurance, organizing a mutual or paving the rates. Inspector J. H. Heller ha> a copy of Mr. Mcßeth's rate and the charge made for each defect. He is authorized to give credit for each improvement made and will do so when ever same is called to his attention, and a number of the business men have already began repairs recomended by Mr. Mcßeth.

Miss Florence Sprunger entertained about twenty of her girl 1 friends Sunday at a masquerade party. There was very much amusemnt in guessing the persons. After that there was guessing con test in which Miss Frances Bryson received the highest honors a book, while Miss Pansey Bell won the i booby prize. Various games were ! played during the evening. An ! elegant two coruse luncheon was I served. They all parted for their respective homes at a late hour reporting that they had a delightful time, and that Miss Sprunger was a fine entertainer. Hon. A D. Marsh, one of the best known men in North western Ohio, died suddenly Thursday afternoon while engaged in conversation with Hon. Thomas Godfrey at the latter's office in Celina. Mr. Marsh was telling a story when he suddenly 1 gasped and expired presumably of apoplexy. He was for many years one of the best known Democratic politicians in Northwestern Ohio. IA convention without him and without one of his ringing speeches i would have been considered tame. While always a leader and a force in politics, he never attained the height to which he aspired, Congress. although eminenrly qualified to fill the position. Four times he was a candidate but failed on account of the combinations of hostile counties. He was speaker of the Ohio house of representatives in 1592. He was about 65 years of age and had lived in Celina 30 years. Within the past month he laid to rest his helpmate of many I years. Six children survive him. —Van Wert Bulletin. That a physician shall not testify to any facts which he learns by treating a patient, unless the patient or his legal representatives consent, was declared by the supreme court Tuesday. In revising the judgement holding the will of Elijah M. Tinder, of Hendricks county to be invalid. Tinder bequeathed all of his property to one j of his children. The others called the family physician to testify that their father was of unsound mind, i In holding that it was error to admit this testimony, the supreme court says that the prohibition against a physician’s testifying. “It extends to all communications made by patients to physicians in the course of their professional business, to all advice given, and to all information acquired by the physician by "bservation or otherwise bv means of professional relation to his patient, and in his professonal intercourse with him. All that the physician sees or observes is fully within the statute' as matters which are “communicated to him bv his patient." The Indianapolis Journal said. "Arrested on the morning of his twentieth birthday while he was talking to his aged mother, was: his surprise of his day given Jefferson Glentzer. living eight miles east of Bryant, Ind., early yesterday morning, by Captain Tom Halls of the Secret Service and Deputy Marshal Martin. Glent-1 zer is a prominent young farmer in his county and bears a high reputation. Notified by telephone that the young man was passing counterfeit dollars. Captain Halls and Deputy Marshal Martin left at once for his home. The young man was taken before the United States commissioner at Muncie, where he I is held to await trial at the next term of court. He is charged with making and passing counterfeit dollars. When he was captured he had several of the dollars on his person. Captain Halls says he j thinks the money is made by some one else and is being passed off by ; young Glentzer. The imitation is ! good.

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 dyspepsia 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 supplv of “good spirits.” Trial size 25c; regular bottles 75c. At all druggists. Farmers Take Notice.

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 Southwest —in Missouri, Arkansas. Louisiana 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, 510, 515 per acre and up. These lands are mostly cut-over tipaber 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 b« 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, tow ns, 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.
