A deal was closed on Wednesday which caused quite a little surprise in the the business circles of Berne, when it was announced that Sam Schindler, who owned a half interest in the shoe store of Schindler & Ryf had sold out to Phil Schug. Mr. Schindler had considered the advisability of selling for some time, bit he managed to keep it quiet until this week when the deal was pending. He has for some time not enjoyed the best of health and feels that he cannot stand inside work much longer, therefore he decided to sell and will move with his family to Northern Michigan in the near future to spend the summer, if the climate proves- beneficial to his health. He will, however, remain with the new firm for some time until all his business matters are properly settled. Mr. Schindler still owns the building.—Berne News.

D Beavers of this city, performed an operation on Mrs. Conrad Gallmeyer, who resides north of this city about seven miles. For some time Mrs. Gallmeyer had been troubled with stomach trouble, which had all the symptoms of being gallstones. The operation was successful in every respect, showing that a gall stone had escaped from the gall bladder into the intestines, causing a stoppage of the bowels. This obstacle was removed and Mrs. Gallmeyer rallied from the operation in fine shape and from all present indications will easily survive the same and in a short time be able to be up and around again.

Gas and Walter Roseenthal were at Winnemac yesterday, where they attended a picnic in honor of their sister, Miss Clara Rosenthal, who leaves this week on an extended visit to the old country — Germany. Dan Vail, who is attending Yale college, will be home some time this week tc spend the summer vacation with his 'parents. He has made great progress in college, and many people are saying nice things about Dan already The indications a r e that rhe rasp berry crop will be the heaviest this year ever known in tins section. Bushes are loaded down with the green fruit and unless attacked by slugs or beaten hail they will be as plentiful as strawberries. The green ones show a tine healthy fruit and unless something unusual attacks them, there will be no lack of this popular fruit for canning, etc. The city of Indianapolis will establish free bath houses about the city which will be patronized largely by the newsboys of that place. At present the “newsies” and “blackies” are using the river and viaduct for their daily dips and this has brought the public to face with the fact that a bath house that will be free to the uranins who sell papers and black boots on the streets of the city should be maintained at the public expense. Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the St. John’s Lutheran church, eight miles north of this city, occurred the wedding of Miss Ameliaa Getting, the beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Getting to Theodore Scheiman, who resides near Hoagland. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Jans and was witnessed by nearly three hundred invited guests, the ceremony being simple but impressive. Immediately after the marriage the guests drove to the home of the bride’s parents, where a big wedding supper was served, and the guests made merry until a late hour. This wedding was to have occurred three months ago, but was postponed on account of a sister of Miss Getting taking ill with typhoid fever. The happy young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and costly gifts. They will make their future home on Mr. Scheiman's farm near Hoagland. The Democrat extends congratulations. Judge J. F. LaFollette, of the Jay circuit court at Portland, has handed down a decision, holding that a blanket remonstrance filed against the saloon business and containing the signature of a majority of the voters in the township, is not effective against saloons in incorporated cities, and that they must be reached by separate remonstrances in each ward. The question is a new one and is believed to be presented for the first time in the Jay circuit court. The fight has been bitter among the saloon ami temperance forces in Richland township, in which Dunkirk, the city in controversy, is situated. The temperance people have already won a victory in Redkey and the town must now be dry for two years from the expiration of the present licenses. The fight is not yet over and the case will be taken to the supreme court for setlement Through the untiring efforts of J. H. White and Thomas Haefling Decatur is to have an Elks lodge, which will lie organized some time during the first of August. These two men during the past week have been circulating a petition and instead of getting the required number of signatures —twenty-five—to be granted a charter, they have gone farther and secured the signatures of fifty, just double the nun-ber required. The petition will be sent away Wednesday and will pass through the hands of the chief officials of the lodge when it will be returned with the grant for a charter Oit of these fifty candidates only three will be given the work and the balance will be taken in as charter members, and only be required to take the obligations. Several suitable rooms are under cinstruction and a choice will be made in the near future. The men who have signed his petition are all business men and the good old order of Elks will be well represented in this city. It is not as yet fully determined what- team will confer the degree work, bu t a. good one will no doubt be secured, and the opening work will be a ‘ ‘corker.”

In citations have been issued by Mesdames John H Lenhart, M. V. B. Archbold and T. H. Blosser for an afternoon party at the home of the former on Thursday at two o’clock. Those invited are looking forward to a pleasant time. Lawrence Gplinger, of Linn Grove, one of the bright young school teachers of Ada ns county, was heie Monday enroute to Bloomington, where he will enter the state university with a view of far ther finishing his educational qualifications as a teacher. Miss Gertrude Moses, who has been serving as musical instructor, in the college at Yankton, South Dakota, arrived home over the Erie, last evening. She is delighted with western life, likes her position very much and will return to her duties in the fall, after a summer with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Moses. Miss Gertrude’s work at Yankton was very satisfactory, and the college managers were more than pleased, recommending her highly, and insisting on her return. Francis, the little four-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Costello, was quite badly injured Monday by being run over by a wagon. The little fellow, together with other playmates, noticed a wagon going by the house with an empty wagon attached in the rear. The boys thought it would be great sport to take a ride, and accordingly jumped on the tongue of the trailing wagon. Young Costello however, lost his balance and fell to the road, the empty wagon pissing over his body, and the rim of the wheel striking his head. The boy was hastily taken into his home and his father dressed his wounds, which he thinks are nothing serious, as the little fellow is resting easier. Had the wagon been loaded the little fellow’s life would have been crushed out instantly. The German Lutheran people of Decatur, who recently erected a handsome brick church on West Monroe street, have concluded to build a school house and are now advertising for bids on same, to be received at the Gid Adams County bank at one o'clock on Saturday, July Ist The plans and speeuifications may Ire seen at the bank from this time on, and show that new building is to be twenty-six feet by thirty-four with an entrance eight by sixteen feet It will be a frame structure, and is to be located just north of the church on the same lot. At the present time there are about forty students eligible, and it is the intention to keep the school open ten or eleven months in the year, beginning September Ist, next, b.v which time the building must be completed. We are informed that Henry Lankenau, an experienced aud successful teacher, will probably be selected as the instructor. Both English and German will be taught. Ade 1 was made late Saturday afternoon whereby the Burt hotel again changed hands, this time the proprietorship going into the hands of Henry C- Donnelly, a but experienced hotel man, who for the past several years has been condicting a hotei at Janesville, Wisconsin, but which he just a week ago disposed of The deal was closed Saturday evening, and Mr. Donnelly took possession and charge of the same Sunday morning. Mr. Humphries, the retiring owner, stated to a representtive of this paper that he fully expected to remain in this city for the time being if he could possibly find a suitable hjuse which he could rent. He however, expects to leave in a few days for Oklahoma, where he will close up several business transactions, but Mrs. Humphries will remain here. During the management of this hostelry Mr. Hum phries proved himself to be a genial and accommodating hotel manager, and his business was enormous, and during that time he made a host cf friends, who wish him success in any other business into which he may venture. The new manager, Mr. Donelly, has had considerable experience in the hotel business, and will uphold the reputation of the Burt in a magnificent manner. He is a young man of hustling ability and other qualifications. He is married and his wife is at present here with him and will assist in the management of the hotel. Mr. Donnelly will no doubt make a host of friends here, and we wish him success in his new venture.

Mrs. J. C. Cowan, who resides southeast of Pleasant Mills was vrey seriously injured in a rather unusual mam e- Wednesday afternoon. She was climbing over a high fence and when on top lost her balance and fell to the ground, alighting on her back with ’errific force. She was carried to rhe house and physicians summoned from Willshire. The fall had sprained her back and injured the spine, causing a form of paralysis and she remained unconscious for over four hours For some time her life was despaired of, but the report today is that she is slightly better, though the result will probably not be known for several days, it being feared that permanent injury may follow. Mrs. Cowan was formerly Miss Dailey and is quite well known in this city. Trie Library board held a meeting Saturday evening and selected a librarian, Miss Nettie Moses. According to an agreement she will have to take a summer course in some school, for the purpose of fitting herself for the duties of librarian, and it is probable that Winona will be chosen for this purpose, as it is the most convenient and a favorite with the selected librarian. B sides this the board instructed their architect to draw plans for a low pressure steam heating plant for the library building, and this will be done at once and offered to bidders in this line of contracting. They also appointed a committee to meet with the school board Tuesday evening to take up library matters with them, and to get. a perfect understanding of the rights of each in so far as a library is concerned. It is their hope to have the building complete by December of this year and this means that they are getting ready for a good sized hustle. The work on the foundation is progressing, and it will not be long until the building will begin to go skyward. Miss Moses is one of Decatur's deserving and popular voung ladies, a teacher of many years’ experience and as librarian will no doubt fill the needs and requirements of such a position.

THE SECRET OUT.

The Door Stands Wide Open.

To refute the many false and malicious attacks, bogus formulas and other untruthful statements published concerning Doctor Pierce’s World-famed Family Medicines the Doctor has decided to publish all the ingredients entering into his "Favorite Prescription” for women and his equally popular tonic alterative known as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Hereafter every bottle of these medicines leaving the great Laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., will bear upon it a full list of all the ingredients entering into the compound. Both are made entirely from native roots, barks and herbs. The ingredients of the "Golden Medical Discovery ” being Golden Seal root, Queen’s root, Black-cherry bark, Mandrake root, Bloodroot. Why is it so many have been strengthened and benefited by the tonic effect of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery? It is because at this time of the year people feel run-down, nerveless, sleepless and worn out. Poisons have accumulated in their body during the long winter. Their blood stores up a lot of waste product which poisons the system. That is why in the spring and early summer a tonic is almost a necessity. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery being made of medicianal plants, is next to nature and the best tonic you can use. For the same reason that vegetables and greens are good for the system at this time of the year, so is it true that a tonic made up entirely of medicinal plants, without the use of alcohol, is the proper medicine to take at this time. It tills the blood with rich, red blood corpuscles. It gives you a feeling of strength, and it puts sunshine into your system as no other remedy can. That is why Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has been such a favorite for the past forty years. He is not afraid to open his laboratory to the public, and he invites every one to visit his Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., to see how systematically the sick are taken care of and cured, as well as looking over his huge laboratory and seeing the scientific methods of preparing this wonderful tonic. Neither man nor

The oases against John and Harry Jones were dismissed before the trial was commenced, owing to the lack o evidence. The men were all arrested yesterday by Sheriff Butler and brought to this city on the afternoon train. David E. Smith defended Michaels and John C. Moran looked after the state’s interest, while 'Squire Smith presided.

The occasion is known as the “Aunt Hill,” and will be one that all present will long remember. The lawn was artistically decorated and the afternoon was spent in numerous games, music and other amusements, and the gathering was a happy one.

woman can be handsome who has impurities in the blood, for it will show in pimples, boils, and eruptions, in the dark circles under the eyes and in the sallow complexion. After taking "Golden Medical Discovery ’’ you are bound to have pink cheeks and a fresh complexion. The muscles get the good, rich, red blood, that puts on strength. It is a flesh builder, but not a fat builder. As an example of the good results thus obtained, note the following letter: "In the year 1899, I had an attack of indigestion and got so bad that my home doctor said he could not do me any good,® writes Mr. G. Trent, of Gordonville, Texas. "I wrote to you and you advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, so I bought six bottles, aud when I commenced using it 1 was so weak could hardly walk about the house. By the time I had used one bottle my stomach and bowels commenced to heal. There were strips of the lining of my bowels as large as a man’s two fingers passed and I had a great deal of misery in my stomach and bowels, and also in the rectum especially. I could not eat anything without having much distress afterward, but by the time I had taken eight bottles of the ‘ Golden Medical Discovery’l was sound and well, and could eat anything I pleased without suffering in the least. Could also do as much work in a day as 1 ever could. I have not suffered from the trouble since.” Dr. Pierce’s ter of good health, and good health is largely a matter of healthy activity of the bowels. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
