NATURE STUDIES Gene Stratton-Porter’s Writings are Attractive The Book to be Dramatized by H. A. Stainbury the Greatest Literary and Dramatic Critic in England. For years and years the people of Indiana have been proud of her literary folk, and there are many of prominence. There is one, who though she has gained great fame through her former works, is becoming more prominent day by day as the popularity of her two latest books, “The Song of the Cardinal” and “Freckles” increases. This one is Gene Stratton-Porter of Geneva. The “Bird Woman.” The one of whom the people of Adams county especially can say, with true pride, belongs to us. Not only is she famous as a writer of splendid nature stories, but also as a worker in natural history. There can be no question but that Mrs. Porter now holds first place as a reproducer of character studies of birds and nature work, and that she is receiving the highest prices ever paid for work of this class. And now she is to gain added fame as a dramatist. Doubleday, Page & Co., of New York, her publishers, have made the announcement that arrangements have been completed for the dramatization of “Freckles.” Dorothy Desmond, the greatest serocomedy actress in England has asked Mrs. Porter for the stage rights to the book in all English speaking countries and Mrs. Porter, being acqu tinted with Miss Desmond’s reputation, was delighted to give her consent. Miss Desmond is to England what Maule A dams, is to America and site will play the part of tho “Swamp Angel. ” As soon as Miss Desmond received Mrs. Porter’s consent to have the book dramatized, she applied to H. A. Saiatsbury, the greatest literary and dramatic critic in England to do the dramatization for her. Saintsbury, after he had read the book, was unstinted in his praise of it and was only too anxious to begin work on the dramatization of it & nd he has written Mrs. Porter that *he must come to London and help bun in this work, as her knowledge of the atmosphere of the book and her charming gift of delightful serio-oomedy writing will be invaluable to him. fie proposes to draft the acts and scenes and have Mrs. Porter furnish the dialogue. That this is a great compliment to Mrs. Porter can only be realized tvhen one stops to think that Saintsnry is the successful dramatist of sach Plays as “The Three Musket--B®rß,” “Chico, the Jester,” “Charles the VI,” etc. B ut this is not all. Wh * n Saintsbury dramatized •-heilock Holmes” a few years ago

he so feared for the title role that he went on the stage himself, and for 900 consecutive performances gave England the greatest play of the kind she has ever seen, he has now become so absorbed in dramatizing “Freckles” for Miss Desmond that he wiites Mrs. Porter if she will oomo aand coolabora orate with him he will again take to the stage and do the part of “Black Jack,” a character which he wishes somawhat elaborated for his impersonation. In speaking of this event Mrs. Porter says: “Frankly, to have had any recognized dramatist and actress of America so interested in my work would have delighted me; but no one can deny that England goes us a few centuries better in art and culture, and to have her greatest serio-comedy actress and her greatest literary critic and dramatist combining to honor my work, takes my breath away.” The dramatization of this book not only means fame and an assured place for her writings, but a snug fortune as well. She is the author of “The Song of the Cardinal,’ published two years ago, “Freckles,” published just a year ago and many short stories and magazine articles. She has a serial in the Ladies’ Home Journal for the coming year and two large volumes of nature work, with her own illustrations, in Press.

She has just returned home after a two weeks’ stay in Nebraska, where she was sent by Doubleday, Page & Co., publishers of “Country Life in America,” that famous magazine, to do an article —“A Story of a Ranch.” This will be illustrated with views taken by her, all of which are, to use a slang expression, great. But to return to "Freckles” for a minute. This story was conceived by her while she was doing nature work m the Limberlost swamp, and aside from the honors in a romantic and literary way it is now receiving, is being highly honored by business men for it’s lesson of fidelity to a trust. One Chicago capitalist has given 125 copies to his employees and says he has realized 500 per cent on the investment. Another railroad magnate gave 100 copies to his men and has ordered 200 more. With this feeling among business men and the dramatization to bring out the fiction element of the book, “Freckles,” bids fair to soon be one of the most popular and the best selling books in America, as it now is in England. Fred Patterson. Reason Shaffer. Reason, son of Almond and Winona Shaffer, was born near Pleasant Milla, this county, December Id 1878, and died at his father s home, at Bobo, October 23, 1905, aged 26 years, 10 months am. . days.

forward he said he was ready to go and seemed to welcome the last hour. During the last night of his illness he called his parents to his bedside and said in broken sentences, “Father, meet me in heaven, and Mother, I know you’ meet me in heaven.” “Tell everybody to meet me in heaven.” “I love everybody.” In his home Reason was a faithful and obedient eon, and a kind and loving brother. During all his illness and suffering he manifested no impatience, forgetting himself for others. It grieved him to think that he was a burden to his parents who were doing so much for him. In his business relation he was honest, frugal, and industriouss, a good citizen and an admirable neighbor and friend. His mother, two brothers and two sisters preceded him to the spirit world. He leaves a father, stepmother, one brother, Erwin, and one sister, Mrs. John Miller, with a large circle of other relatives and friends to mourn his departure.

Tabor cemetery. Rev. C. B. Sweeney conducted the services.

A junk dealer’s license has been issued to Thomas Johnson and C. L. p ainter, of Willshire, who travel through this county. Mrs. George Massona left Friday for Michigan City, where she goes to see her brother, who is seriously ill with consumption, and it is feared he can not recover.

Poss and R. M. Nicholson of Fort Wayne. The boys were attending medical school and were in the practice of boxing for exercise, just before retiring. Wednesday night they boxed as usual and so far as can be learned no one was seriously hurt, but Muldoon suddenly complained of a splitting headache. He was restless all night and in the morning his comrades ordered a doctor who took the boy to the hospital at once. An examinaton showed the boy to be suffering from hemorrhage of the brain and that his condition was critical. He died a few hours later. The physicians agree that the hemorrhage was due to a blow on the head, and after death resulted the coroner was called, who is now investigating. Upon his verdict depend the arrest of the comrades.

Misses Rose Forbing, Mayme Confer, Rose Confer, Eleanor Forbing, Bertha Hart and Bertha Fullenkamp spent the day Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Kruckenberg and report a fine time. The residence of Job Yaney in Jefferson townsnip was totally destroyed by fire at 11:30 o’clock Friday night. All the contents were lost, not a single article being recovered it is said. Mr. and Mrs. Yaney were absent from home and a young lady school teacher was staying with the children. They had retired, and the first intimation of fire was when they heard the crash of a part of the walls falling. They escaped uninjured, but had no time to lose. It is reported that Mr. Yaney carried no insurance and the loss is therefore a severe one. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: The Pennsylvania Railroad company is about to place the largest single equipment order in its history. It consists of 500 locomotives and 15,000 freight cars. A deal has been made with the Baldwin locomotive works for the building of 250 locomotives and 250 more are to be built at the company’s shops at Juniata. Bids for the construction of the freight oars have been invited and tho order will be placed within a few weeks. Within the last nine months the company has placed ordors for 10,000 freight oars, and has received the major part of an order for 255 locomotives placed last year with the Baldwins. The value of the combined order is placed at 121,250,000. Os this amount $15,000,000 will be expended on cars. The contract to be given the Baldwins is estimated at $3,125,000. It is probable that the motive power will be increased before the first of the present order has been received.

A search warrant was issued to Sheriff Butler Monday by ’Squire James H. Smith authorizing him to go the farm of Jamas Gage, a prosperous and well to do farmer of Root township’ and and there search the premises and endeavor to locate ten dark turkeys with whi’e-tipped wings and of the value of fifteen dollars and take possession of said turkeys until the courts makes some final decision in the case. The search warrant was the result of an affidavit filed by Harve Smith, wherein he alleges that Gage did feloniously, take steal carry and drive away the above described property from the farm of David Stolen and that the stolen property is new concealed about the premises, barn or sheds of the premises of said Gage and that he refused to turn them over to the rightful owner. Sheriff Butler drove to the Gage farm this afternoon and as we go to press had not returned, and we are unable to learn what he found. Both parties interested are well known farmers and have been neighbors for years.

William Sheets, of Berne, who lately has gained some notoriety, was in town Saturday. He had returned from Bippus, where he was tangled up in a slot machine deal. Two such machines were sold or leased there by Mr. Sheets and those operating them were arrested and fined by the Huntington circuit court. They claimed that Mr. Sheets was to stand between them and the law, and as a result a Huntington county officer came over to see him about it. The Bipus men have since paid their fines and the whole matter is adjusted in so far as this particular case is concerned. In speaking of the matter Saturday Mr. Sheets informed us that he was the agent of the Mills’Novelty company, of Chicago, wholesale dealers in all kinds of novelties, including slot machines music boxes, and everything else imaginable in the novelty line. Under this agency he is in no way connected directly or indirectly in the ownership of such a machine or its lease, and in consequence does not stand any show in being taken into the clutches of the law.

WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED BY A WELL KNOWN ARTICLE.

So much has been written by the standard medicial authorities, of all the several schools of practice, in praise of the native, or American, medicinal plants which enter into the composition of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, that in attempting to quote from the various works on Materia Medica one hardlv knows where to commence, since they are so voluminous that only the briefest and most imperfect reference can be presented in a short article like this. Briefly then let us say that the "Golden Medical Discovery” was named from the sturdy little plant Golden Seal, the root of which enters largely into its composition. Besides this most valuable ingredient, it curtains .glyceric extracts of Stone root, Queen’s root, Black Cherrybark, Bloodroot and Mandrake root. Finley Ellingwood, M. D., an eminent practitioner of Chicago and Professor of Materia Medica in the Bennett Medical College of that city, in his recently published work on Therapeutics, says of Golden Seal root: "It is the most natural of stimulants to the normal functions of digestion. Its influence upon the mucous surfaces renders it most important in catarrhal gastritis (inflammation of stomach) and gastric (stomach) ulceration.” Many other authorities as well as Dr. Ellingwood extol the Hydrastis (Golden Seal), as a remedy for catarrhal diseases of the nasal passages, stomach, bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines and bladder. Among these, we may mention Prof. John King, M. D., author of the American Dispensatory; Prof. J. M. Scudder, M. D., in his " Specific Medication”; Dr. Hjile of the Hahnemann Med. College of Chicago; Grover Coe, M. D., of New York, in his "Organic Medicines,” Dr. Bartholow of Jefferson Med. College and scores of other leading medical writers and teachers. All the foregoing eminent authorities extol the curative virtues of Golden Seal in cases of stomach, liver and intestinal weakness, torpor and ulceration of bowels. Dr. Ellingwood recommends it most highly, "In those cases of atonic dyspepsia when the entire apparatus, including the liver, is stagnant and inoperative.” He also extols it most highly in the many weaknesses and derangements peculiar to women and says, "It is a most important remedy in many disorders of the womb.” Golden Seal root (Hydrastis), is an important ingredient of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weak, nervous,"rundown” women. But to return to the "Golden Medical Discovery ” it may be said that its curative properties are not wholly dependent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is, as other equally potant ingredients add greatly to its value and in fact are not less important than the Hydrastis, or Golden Seal. tr In all bronchial, throat, lung and kindred ailments, Stone root, Black Cherrybark, Queen’s root and Bloodroot, each plays as important a part in effecting the phenominal cures of " Golden Medical Discovery ” as does Golden Seal. All these ingredients have the endorsement of prominent practitioners of all schools of medicine ■ for the cure of diseases of the bronchia, throat and lungs.

■ Os Queen’s root, Prof. King says: ■ "An alterative (blood purifier) unsur- ■ passed by few if any other of the known I alteratives. Most successful in skin and scrofulous affections; beneficial in bronchial affections; permanently cures ■ bronchitis; relieves irritations; an important cough remedy; coughs of years’ standing being cured; aids in bloodmaking and nutrition and may be taken with out harm for long periods.” Queen’s root, Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark and Bloodroot, all articles extolled by leading practitioners of all the schools, as the very best of cough medicines, are made especially valuable when combined with chemically pure glycerine which greatly enhances the curative action of all ingredients in all bronchial, throat and lung affections, severe coughs and kindred ailments. Who can doubt the efficacy of such a compound, when scientifically made up, as in Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery? Who can doubt that it is a most effective remedy for the several diseases for which its ingredients are so highly recommended by the formost writers on Materia Medical It is in the cure of the more chronio or lingering, persistent, and obstinate cases of bronchial, laryngial and lung affections, attended by hoarseness and severe cough, which if neglected or badly treated would generally have run into consumption, that "Golden Medical Discovery ” has won the highest praise from all who have observed its marvelous control over these and kindred affections. It is no cheap compound made-up of trashy ingredients for free distribution, that curious people may experiment upon themselves |as with the many fake nostrums so commonly sent out as "trial bottles.” It has a forty year record, embracing many thousands of cures behind it, is sold at a reasonable price and may be found in all drug and medicine stores in this and many foreign countries. It will be seen from the above brief extracts how well" Golden Medical Discovery ” is adapted for the cure of all blood diseases, as, scrofulous and skin affections, eruptions, blotches, pimples and kindred ailments; also that it is equally good in all Catarrhal affections no ma ,f er where seated, and for all cases of indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and as a tonic and invigorator in all manner of weaknesses, and in nervous debility and prostration the above extracts amply show. Much further information as to the properties and uses of" Golden Medical Discovery” and Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for weak women, will be found in a little booklet of extracts from standard medical books which will be mailed free to any address on request, by letter or postal card, sent to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. All the several ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s medicines will be found, from the reading of this little booklet, to have the strongest possible professional endorsements and recommendations for the cure of all the diseases for I which these medicines are recommended. No other medicines for like 1 purposes have any such endorsement. They are non-alcoholic, non-secret, safe i and reliable.
