Muncie, Ind. Feb. I.—The repub ioan county chairman of the Eighth district met at the Delaware hotel in this city at 10 o’clock this morning to decide up)n the manner of nominating a candidate for congress, John Terhune of Anderson, newly elected district chairman, presided. A resolution was adopted providing that the nomination be by primary to be held April .3 *in every precinct of ■ the district. The polls are to be open from Ca. m. to 6 p. m. As there are only two candidates, George W. Cromer and Horace C. ; Stillwell, the resolution provided that each be allowed to select ’one judge and one clerk in each pre oinct. Chairman Terhune will appoint an election commission in each county consisting of two mem bers, beside the county chairman, who will serve exfficio, thus taking the control of the election entirely out of the hands of the Cromer tactions, who have held the organization for eight years. This com mission will appoint tho inspectors and other officers of the boards and will have entire charge of the election, selecting the voting places, etc. The resolution adopted also provides that the county primaries be held in connection with the congressional primary. Before a certain date about February 20th, each candidate must give his certified check to cover an equal share of the election expenses. The sigh will begin now in earnest with odds apparently in favor of Stilwell. In this county it is understood that ( the election commissioners will be B. W. Sholty of this city, and , Nathan Shepherd of Geneva, Chairman Frisinger serving by virtue of his officeo The anti Cromerites say they have already began an organization which will carry Old Adams into the Stillwell column. It looks as though George has the battle of his career in front of him and the campaign will very likely begin to warm up soon. Parson Irl Hicks predicts dire weather calamities in February to make up for the abnormally pleasant January we have had. In February a regular storm period extends from the sth to the 9th. By the 6tb decided change to warmer with falling barometer, southerly i winds and growing cloudiness, will be noted in western sections. These I conditions will bring on decided storms of ram, wind and possible thunder in the south about the 7th to 10th. The crisis of the period will fall on and touching the 9th. About this date a series of violent winter storms will culminate, first in rain, wind thundei turning to sweeping snow and blizzards from the north west. These storms will scarcely disappear, but threatening and stormy weather will, in all pioba billity continue in to the reactionary period central on the 12th and 13th. A general and genuine cold wave will wind up the general per turbations. A regular storm period falls on the 16th to 20th having its center on the 17th. There is ovary reason to believe that some of the hardest storms and most - severe weather for the winter will set in at this period and continue, the litttle intermissions, or the remainder of February and into March. About the 17th to 19th storms of tropical nature will visit southern parts of the country—heavy rains, lightning, thunder and wind will reach as far northward as the central states, while snow, sleet and blizzards will form their counterpart and sweep out of the northwest, Storms of wide extent and violent in .character need surprise no one from about the 23rd to 25th. If the temperature rises high—a very probable result—with greatly depressed birometer readings, tropi-1 cal storms of rain, hail and thunder i will be natural in the south, possibly tornadic in some localities. These conditions ’will be suddenly followed and offset by high barometer and rushing gales and blizzards from the northwest. A regular storm period begins cn th 27th and has its center on March the Ist. A disturbed, if nut stormy state of weather will lead up to this period, but about- the 28th th»«« ■conditions will ii crva u e into marked intensity, cav'-ing many active storms during the opening days of March.

OLD FOLKS TESTIFY

All Old People in Decatur and Their Children Take Totice. A time comes to every one when the little forces begin to fail. We be‘gin to feel thot we are going down hill and perhaps that the end of an active service, if not of life,is near. These extracts from some letters recently received Irom old people should be interesting reading. Mr. A J. Brker, of Evansville Ind., says: “I believe there is no other medicine equal to Vinol for old poeple. 1 would not take SIOO3 for the good it has done me.” Mrs. Sarah J. Windiom, cousin of the United States President, Zaehariah Taylor, says: “Vinol is a Godsend to old people. I am seventy-six years old, but owing to the strength-creat-ing quali ies of Vinol, I feel .young, active and well today. Mr. Coseph Bankson, of Decatur, 111, seventy-eight years of age, says, “Vinol has made me strong, active and well.” Smith Yager and Falk says, “Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that it contains in a highly concentrated from all the active, curative* stiengthening and bodybuilding properties of cod aiver oil. It makes rich, red blood lhealthy body material aud sound steady nerves. In this way it repairs worn tissues, checks the natural decline of the aged and replaces weakness with strength.

Price* For Butterflies Butterfly collectors are seldom able to estimate with any confidence the value of tbeir collections, since the prices for specimens so constantly vary. A case in point is that of the blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens of which were originally sold for from SSO to $75. Afterward some collectors who supplied the London market ran into t perfect swarm of these butterflies and shipped to England such quantities that better specimens than the original Insects sold for $1 each. It not infrequently happens that two or three specimens of a certain family are discovered by collectors, who, encouraged by the high prices received for their finds, are tempted to prosecute their search for this particular variety without result for several years. Suddenly they or some other collector finds the insects grown plentiful, and the cherished varieties of the cabinet become among the commonest specimens.—ChlTHE YELLOW FEVER GERM has recently been discovered. It bears a close reiemblance to the malarial germ. To free the system from diseaso germs, the most effective remedy is Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
