L OSS IN MILLIONS Chicago Chronicle Caught in the Whirlpool Mine and Stone King of Southern Indiana Reduced to Poverty in a Day. |Hcl*l Telegram To The Democrat Chicago, Deo. 18.—The failure of the Chicago National Bank, the Home Savings Bank and the Equitab]e Trust Company, all of Chicago, „ Br e announcsd today by the Chijjgc clearing [house association, a f ter & eesion lasting eigteen hours, jsmes Foigan of the First National Bank, of Chicago, gave the statemats saying that the assets of all three of the institutions were involved in a coal deal and railway properties in Indiana by John R. Walsh, president of the Chicago National Bank. The official statement is as follows: “Chicago National Bank and subsidiary trust companies which have been controlled. managed and officered by John R-' Walsh and associates, hare concluded to wind up business and quit in the city of Chioa go. After a careful and thorough eratninaton of these institutions it is said that all three will pay the depositors in full on demand, the Chicago clearing house banks having pledged themselves to this resolution thus putting the resources of the Chicago banks behind these metitutions. The difficulty of the institutions has been that they have invested their assets in railways and coal properties if John i R. Walsh and these assets are not immediately available to meet the deposits and have been taken over on terms which enable these instiI tutions to pay the depositors in full.” Mr. Ridgely, comptroller of currency and Mr. Hubank of the auditor’s department at Springfield, expressed themselves as being greatly pleased at the action ty the Chicago banks, and stated - that it reflected great credit on the asooiated banks of Chicago, I which have again indicated their i ability to meet any emergency in I a manner entirely satisfactory to ■ the public. The association met at t noon Sunday and fifty clerks were I put to work on the finances to see if * panic could be avoided which would follow the ©losing of the doors of these great inatitutlns.

During his stay here the doctor built up quite a practice, indicating that people placed explicit confidence in him as a physician and it was not for lack of practice that he goes to other fields, but owing to the fact that he was called to Geneva to take up the practice of an old physician of that oity who was killed on the railroad last week and by so doing would enable him to work in a smaller and more lucrative field than here. —Monroeville Breeze.

There is nothing fancy about this organisation, no long in itiation. It is a business order pure and simple, a combination of farmers and busmess men. for the protection of their propsrty from theives. The order was started by Sheriff Butler about fiur [months ago and has grown rapidly, already having a membership of 225, and each meeting brings in from twenty to fifty new ones. Nnrly two hundred members attended the session last night and besides the busi ness transacted, the social pleasures of meeting men from all over the county was well worth the time, twenty-four new members were voted in and given the work. ■ expected that the membersbjp will grow to 500 within a year.

Geneva is to have another new physician, a Dr. Price, who for the past three years has been practicing in Monroeville. The doctor was here a day or two ago completing arragements for moving his family here and it it is very probable that he will locate his office in the vacant rooms above the Summers & Liohtle tin [shop in the G. W. Pyle building. Dr. Price carries s ime sp’endid recommendations and seams to be a fine man who an addition to Geneva. Were you ever tempted to think that the oditoi was indulging in some little personal “digs” when you saw something in the paper which seemed to fit your case. Discard that thought. Remember the saying that “many a shaft at random sent, finds marks the archer never meant.” Why only the other day we read [of a Texas editor who had published the Ten Commandments in his paper by request, with the result that he lost half his subscribers before he had time to explain that no personal reflections were meant. P. L. Andrews ar-ivad hmn Friday morning from Cardwell, Mis souri, where they have lived for the past year. Mr. Andrews has owned and operated a large stave factory at that place and has been successful. He rooently sold his mill and concluded to enjoy a holiday visit back to old Adams county. However, he has a deal on for another factory in a different line, which if he is suoessful in closing, will continue him a citizen of the southwest. P. L. has lost some of his averdupois, but says he never felt better in his life. A gang of workmen fifty strong are at present busily engaged at Preble, Indiana erecting four new oil tanks, which will have the capacity of 37,000 barrels each. These tanks are being erected for the use of the Standard Oil Co., and will be completed within sixty or ninety days. One of these large tanks is being erected on the south side of the Erie tracks while three are being erected on the north side on land reoenly purchased by the Standard Oil Co. The tanks are mon strous affairs and it is certainly a sight to see one erected. An impressive procession of Ohio bankers has started on its journey to the penitentiary within the past year. Another little squad is waiting for the action of the court to determine whether it, too, shall join the parade of wrecked careers into the tig stone prison. The following have been sentenced to pris on: A. B. Spear, Oberlin; L. P. Ohliger, Wooster; O. M, Burns, Montpelier;’ Edward Flickinger, Galion ;W. E. Treese, Cleveland; Edward Kaneen, Lorain,Dana Walker, Lorain, and O. L. Hayes, Galion. These are awaiting trial: J. R. Zimmerman, Wooster; O. C. Lilley, Conneaut; C. M. Traver, Conneaut, and O. L.

At the German Reformed church near Magley, at six o’clock Thnrs day evening, occurred the marriage of Mr. August Schlickman of Kirkland township, to Miss Emma May Fraulingerof near Curry villa, Wells county. The service, which was a very impressive one, was per formed by Rev. Snyder. Iminedi ately after the oreemony a big suppar was served a the home of the eldest son of Ornest Schlickman,and bride, to which eighty guests did ample justice. The groom is the is one of the most popular young men of his community. He is a church worker and a citizen whose future success is assured. His bride is a splendid young lady of many good qualities. She is the daughter of Philip Fraulinger, a substantial farmer, living just across the Wslls county line. The happy young ouple will reside on the old Schlick man farm in this county. Ernest Schlickman will hold a sale of his po.sonal property about February Ist. and will immediately move to this city, turning his big 160 acre farm over to his son. To the newly wedded couple the Democrat extends heartiest (congratulations and best wishes for a future as bright and happy as their prospects indicate. A Fears il Fate.

John Wanamaker, referring to the advantages of advertising said: “rhe good sensible merchant sticks to his proposition throughout the year, never withdrawing his announcement but constantly [pounding awav at the public. There is only one way to advertise and that is to himmer your name, your location, your business, so constantly, so persitsently, so thoroughly, into people’s heads that if they walked in their sleep they would constantly turn their faces towards your store. The newspaper is your best friend. It helps to build up the town or community that supp oris you. Porland, Ind., Dec. 14.—One of the most remarkable complaints, from a literary point of view, was presented in the circuit court today in the case of William Henry Lanning for a divorce from Emma Lanning. The [court and bar lie tened in wonderment, ’ admiration at the style of expression as Attorney Williamson reed the complaint. The two most catchy paragraphs follow: “Plaintiff says that the defendant is the unfortunate owner of an Xantippean temper, which supplies the motive power to a tongue, winged with fire and tipped with vitriol. That like the peerage of Pandemonium, her sole misison in life was to sow the seeds of discord and to sound the trumpet of sedition. That she was to the social compact, what the cactus is to thd vegetable kingdom; that she not only converted plaintiff’s home into a vestibule to Hades, but she set the entire community in a ferment of scandal and fierce crimination. Our home was flagged socially as a pest house; we were as completely isolated as Crusoe on his lonely isle. Plaintiff says that his deportment toward said defendant was uniformly kind and indulgent that he overlooked and excused many flagrant direliotions of duty and even condoned offenses dripping with the ichor of illicit love; plaintiff says that when he left his home to come to Jay county, he told defendant that if she would bridle her unruly temper and come with him to Jay county, that they would bury the past and commence life anew, she refused to come to Jay county to live, hence the separation. Plaintiff says that he left her property of the value of S3OO, which she sold and hied away to the state of Mich igan.

Obituary. Daniel Kelley was born in Carrol county, Ohio, Feb. 26, 1827, and died at his home in Jay City, Jay county, Indiana, Deo. 8, 1905, aged 78 years, 9 months, 12 days. He came from Ohio to this state in 1848 and since that time he has lived in the community in whiah he died. He was married three times. The first union was with Rosa Ann Snyder, March 11, 1852, and this union was blessed by six sons and two dang tars, five of them still living. This family circle was broken by the death of the wife and mother May, 5 1893. He was then united in marriage with Rachel Coie Sept. 19, 1894. and again death robbed him of his wife April 28, 1898. The last marriage was with Nancy Soott Nov. 27. 1898, and she still remains to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband, but her health is so broken that from all indications they will not be separ ated long. Beside the wife, four sons, one daughter, twenty four grand children, eight great-grand children and a great host of other friends and relatives mourn the loss of this loved one. He was never identified with any church as a member, but was a friend to all and often attended the M. E. church at New Corydon and supported it. He gave evidence of his repentance in the last few weeks of bis life and often testified cf his conversion and acceptance by God and died in this faith. The funeral was preached in the New Corydon M. E. church by the pistT, Hev. c' G. Nelson, assisted’ by Rev. Bundy of Macklin M. E. ' nhnroh. Rev. Wil am < of Jay City, was also presen | ~ \ 1

How Rapid Life is Killing Our People. UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF DEATHS RESULT FROM HEART DISEASE.

The fact that 125 persons died recently In one week in New York City, from heart disease, when the death rate the corresponding week in 11)04 was only 56, has given rise to the belief among physicians that New York residents, and American people generally, for that matter. are living too rapidly. The strain of business raid cares attendant on fierce competition a id the worry attendant on anxiety to gam wealth are given a- an explanation by physicians of the conditions which exist to-day. Doctors have established the fact that the nerve forces which control the stoma -h and the heart, are affected by the harry of men in the daily scramble to bolt their food, in order to quickly resume their exciting careers. Many young men now succumb to heart disease, where 50 years ago, a case was rare when a person under 30 years of age died from this malady. Women are also victims. This is attributed to the manner in which they worry over social engagements, also to over-work. Worry and excitement, together with many nerve shocks which come to all in their daily life, of bustle and hustle, are the principal causes which snap the heartstrings. We Americans, both men and women, are living too fast. We work too hard and worry too much. How can the strain be best contracted, and the damage done be quickest repaired? Only by humoring and assisting the'stomach to act in a more healthy manner. Thus will the blood be enriched, the nerves invigorated and the action of an enfeebled heart strengthened and regulated. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery contains just the right ingredients to do this, as will be seen from what eminent medical authorities say of the different ingredients comp ising it. To make the weakened stomach strong that it may properly digest the food and thus manufacture rich, red blood. Golden Seal, a prominent ingredient of the "Golden Medical Discovery ” is pre-eminently the article needed. The late Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., of Cincinnati, author of ’.Specific Medication,” says of it: "It stimulates the digestive processes, and increases the assimilation of food. By these means the blood is enriched. * * * * The consequent improvement on the nervous and glandular systems are natural results.” He further says : "In relation to its general effects on the system, there is no medicine in use about which there is such general unanimityof opinion. It is universally regarded as the tonic useful in all debilitated states.” The UigiTED States Dispensatory says of Golden Seal root: "As a local remedy Hydrastis (Golden Seal) lias a remarkable effect upon the mucous membranes. Used in gastro-intestinal (stomach-bowel) catarrhs. * * ♦ » "In its influence upon the nervous system this agent (Golden Seal). lias stimulating properties, affecting respiration and circulation, Imparting tone and increased power to the heart's actum.” Then besides Golden Seal, which, according to the best medical authorities, stands at the head of all stomach and heart tonics and invigorators. there is Stone root (Collinsonia Canadensis).which enters largely into the composition of "Golden Medical Discovery,” and it is an acknowledged stomach and heart tonic—especially superior to all other remedies In valvular and other affections of the heart. The late Prof. Wm. Paine, M. D., of Phila., says in his work on Concentrated Medicines: "I, not long since, had a patient who was so much oppressed with a valvular disease of the heart that his friends were obliged to carry him up-stairs. He. however, gradually recovered under the influence of Collinsonin (the active medicinal principle of Stone root), and is now at-

Si or. *•«« From the Sky. Every country ami every age has its historioal. semihistorical or traditional stories concerning immense stones falling from the sky, or. more properly, from space. Levi tells of a whole shower of aerolites whirl) fell on rhe mountains near Rome in the year 654 B. C. The Arundel marbles (marble tables giving the events of the Grecian histo’-y from 1582 B. C. to 624 , B. C. in chronological order) give an account of a great stone which "fell down from heaven” at .Eogostaml about the year 467 B. C. Pliny, who died in the year 79 A. D., says that in his time the "great air stone” mentioned in the foregoing was still to be seen on the Hellespont, “and,” be quaintly adds, “it is even now of the bigness of a wagon.”

i tending to his busines . Heretofore phy« J sicians knew of no remedy for the re--1 moval of so distressing and so dangerous a malady. With them it was rll guessI work, and it fearfully warned the afflicted \ that death was near at hand. Collinsonin unquestionably affords relief in such I cat““ «nd in most instances effects a I Cure.’ "Golden Medical Discovery"so strongly and faithfully represents the active medicinal principles residing in both Golden Seal and Stone root that it can be depended upon to produce their combined and best curative effects. It must not, however, be expected to perform miracles. Those who have abused themselves by over-work, and thus invited stomach and i heart weakness must not expect a cure from the "Golden Medical Discovery” unless they reform their habits. They must let up on their strenuous labors and not over - tax their brains, nerves or muscles, take rational exercise in the out-door air. and simple food and not too much of it—never gormandizing or overloading the stomach. Get to sleep early and lake plenty of rest In bed. With these improved habits of life the broken-down one may confidently expect relief and cure from the use of that great stomach, nerve and heart tonic and invigorator, "Golden Medical Discovery. ” It is a trite saying that no man is stronger than his stomach. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery strengthens the stomach- puts it in shape to make pure, rich blood —helps the liver and . kidneys to expel the poisons from the body and thus cures both liver and kidney troubles. If you take this natural blood purifier and tonic, you will assist your system in manufacturing each day a pint of rich, red blood, that is invigorating to the brain and nerves. The weak, nervous, run-down, debilitated condition which so many people stiffer from, is usually the effect of poisons in i the blood; it is often indicated by pimples i or boils appearing on the skin, the face 1 becomes thin and the feelings "blue.” ' I Dr. Pierce’s "Discovery” cures all blood i humors as well as being a tonic that i makes one vigorous, strong and forceful. It is the only medicine put up for sale I through druggists for like purposes that , j contains neither alcohol nor harmful i i drugs, and the only one. every ingredient of which has the professional endorse- ■ ment of the leading medical writers of ‘ this country. Some of these endorsements are published in a little bopk of > extracts from standard medical works and will be sent to any address free, on receipt of request therefor by letter or I postal card, addressed to Dr. R.
