THE DEMOCRAT BVERY THURSDAY MORNING BY ILW G. ELLINGHAM, PUBLISHER ‘ 111.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE, littered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana as second-class mall matter. ' OFFICIAL PAPER GF ADAMS COUNTY THURSDAY, MAR. 15,1906. lie are done with James P. Goodrich.—Anderson Herald. Only done by him, brother. Hon. William J. Bryan may be a drawing ?ard at the democratic state convention. This will be attraction to sufficiently warrant a full house and an enthusiastic gathering of the hosts of democracy. Here in Hie efeveutn some of the newspapers are running what they are pleased to call L indis epigrams decorated with a border. Over in the eighth the newspapers have taken up the fad and are running “Cromeresques" and “Stilwell ettes.Hartford City News. The democratic state convention will be held June 7. The demo crats are beginning to pinger up, thus realizing that the opportunity or chance of victory this fall is bright. The'demoerats should now bury the hatchet and bury it so deep that the handle will be hid den from view for all time to come. They should get together and tight a winning battle. It is reported that William R. Hearst ordered that the name of William J Bryan be barred from the columns of the Hearst newsjiapers. If this method of pitch forking Mr. Bryan into oblivion is designed tc promote the New Ycrk editor s own presidential boom in 19C8 ne should have the idea care 'ally inspected by experts to see if it comes up to specifications. Meanwhile, it may have been.quite generally observed that Mr. Bryan continues not to wane according to predictions.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. A careful reading of the instructions administered by the state committee means that Cromer was right and Stilwell was wrong. It means that the election commission who were placed into such mighty power and influence is as dead as a mackerel. It that a campaign assessment of three thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars is so outrageously enor mous that, it is even vulgar to the keen scent of a republican state committee. It means that the yellow dime novel method of Mr. Stilwell to gain a political advan tage will have' to be revised. It means that the war cry of might makes right, will have to be slightly modified. Above all it means that Sillwel’s campaign thus far has been unfair and is now condemned. This unhorsing of the steed at this particular time will cause nim many sleepless nights with his blue pencil tigur ing out the size of the hole where in he now finds himself. Some republican newspapers throughout the eighth congrestfloaal district are mistaken when they asert that Cromer is being supported ONLY by the democratic press. The democratic papers are

not for Cromer, but are only trying to give him a square deal; also their readers. The big scrap in the republican fold just at present is the all-absorbing topic of news the people want to know what's new in the matter. Still Cromer has made his now famous speech in some towns where the Stilwell i papers have almost ignored him. They have not been fair to Mr, Cromer nor their readers The people must look to the unprejudiced democratic press for the news. Should Mr Shoskney Mr. Donlap or any other Stilwell admirer tike the stump for their favorite the democratic press throughout the district would no doubt show him the same consideration it has Mr. Cromer. Trot out Shockney or Dunlap.—Bluffton Banner. For the purpose of bringing the j physicians of the northeastern section of the state of Indiana into, closer relations and thereby advancing their social and scientific interests, the Twelfth District Indiana Medical society was organized at a meeting held Tuesday in the assembly room of the court house Fort Wayne. The new society in- j eludes within its membership physicians in the counties of Allen, Adams. DeKalb, Lagrange, Noble, Steuben, Whitley and Wells and. the large number of physicians who j were in attendance was an evidence I of the interest in the new asociation. The following officers were' elected: President, Dr. William H. Myers, Fort Wayne; first vicepresident, Dr. L. H. Cook, second vice presideni, Dr. Frank; Broughton, Waterloo secretary, I Dr. K. K. Wheelock, Fort Wayne;' treasurer, Dr. W. F. Carver, Albion. J I After the organization a number of ! addresses were delivered including 1 talks by Dr. J. S. Boyers and Dr. !P. B. Thomas of this city. Dr. S. j ' D . Beavers of this city also attend-! ed the meeting. Evidently the United States arm” ' officials are expecting war v- th China, at Isast the order sent .u. i recently by the war department i j would indicate so. Recruiting offi- ■ ; cers ail over the country have re I i oeived notice to be more lenient in > their examinations and increase the | number of raw [recruits. A suiprising thing and wnich shows the j secrecy that is being practiced in the matteer, was that the order was issued by [circular from the central stations in all the states and an or der was appended at the bottom re questing that it be returned to the central station as soon the con test were noted The idea is that men are to be sent to training sta i tions as fast as possible and put through their course of training and assigned to their cotnpmiesas rapidly as possible so that in case of war the army will be well sup plied The men may not be given their full course at the training sta tions. It is stated specifically in ) the order that if trouble comes up the men will be taken from the st* tions even if they have not been through the whole course of training. The last report of the war de- • partment on the number of men j in the army, there were 58.000. I The number allowed is 65,000. This | leaves room for 7,000 before the ari my is up to its limit. j Miss Burke, of Portland, after a short visit here, returned home today.

Winter seems to have landed, a little late, but the real thing. A peculiar fact or this time of year is that the enow extends from New York to Montana and the thermometers of the country range from twenty above zero to twenty below More snow for Chicago. That is about all the weather man had to siy today. There will be more snow tonight, and still more snow tomorrow, unless Professor Cox is much mistaken, which is seldom the case. No particular change in temperature is expected, the minimum tonight being about twenty-five degrees above zero. The east winds will continue, Un usualy cold weather prevails in the northwest, where blizzards are adding to the trouble of the railways. In Montana the worst storm of the winter raged all night, the ther mometer registering twenty below zero. It is not believed that the cold weather will last longer than a few days. Ferdioand » Kliokman who has been sick the past week, died suddenly Tuesday morning at 7:30 o'clock from lung fever. Early in the morning seemed to be better and went to sleep [and died while sleeping, seemingly without any pain. Mr. Kliokman was born in Prussia. Germany, in the town of Berkingbreck in the year 1860, February 19, being 46 years and 22 days old. He was married at the place of his birth to Miss Gusta Yake and moved to America in 1890, and settled in Ottawa county, Ohio, later moving on a farm in French township, Adams county, and lived on the same farm until two weeks ago when he purchased and moved on the farm where he died. He leaves to mourn their loss u wife, seven children, four daughters and three sons; four brothers and one sister and an aged mother. One son died in infancy. The funeral will be held by Rev. Vitz at the Reform church, one half mile north of Honduras, at 11 o’clock a. in., Friday. Friends and mourn ers will meet at house at 9 a. m.

Some of the city newspapers have recently come out in big headlines giving details about a vast estate in Holland to which hundreds of Americans would fall heirs. The history of the estate in brief is ‘his: Theobald Metzgar, a very wealthy Hollander who fliuriehed in the 17th century loaned the Dutch king large sums of money Metzgar died and his will was stolen by the king. Fifteen month after the king confiscated the phoparty. Liter the will was secured and the heirs demanded a settlement from the government. During the last few years the heirs in America have been works ing on the case. Holland recognizes the justice of the claim, and the only bar to settlement is the enormous sum involved, over f'200,000,000. The feature about the case that makes it also of local interest is the fact that Grandpa John Shigley living in the north east part of town claims to be a legal heir. —Berne Witness. Indianapolis, March 14.—The Sherrick case will go to the jury about 5 o'clock this afternoon. Attorneys Harding and Harris spoke for Sherrick this morning and tnis afternoon Attorney General Hadley concluded for the state. Judge McCulloughs instructions were quite lengthy. One of Harding s. remarks caused a sensation in the court room. In the course of his argument he spoke of the money borrowed by Hanly from Sher riok s funds as auditor of state, with which to pay his campaign assessment. “Heie is a.mau,” he said, “who borrowed money from Sherrick and now wants to convict the man who lent it to him.” Tne spectators in the court room broke into applause and there was some stamping of feet. Judge McCullough immediately rapped for order and instructed the sheriff to arrest any parson making a similar demonstration. Harding con-in ued “ What are you going to convict Dave Sherrick for? What charge will you convict him on? Will you punish him because he loaned money to Frank Hanley? Will you convict him because of the demands of this imperious mortal, Hanly, to whom as a friend Sherrick lent money?” George Wemhoff has perfected a patent in relation to the rural route mail box. Carriers have al ways experienced considerable trouble in handling money that is thrown into the mail boxes frr stamps and postal cards, especially do they notice this in cold weather. The farmer throws the money on the bottom of the cold mail box and in an instant the coin gets cold the consequence being that when the mail man comes along and endeavors to pick up this coin it is so cold that it sticks to either his fingers or to the notiom of the mail box The government has been endeav oring for some time to secure some arrrargemet to remedy this but up to the present time have met with failure Mr Wemhoff, without doubt, with his patent has solved the problem and if he can get the government to adopt it he will be the winner. The device is simple. The model is shaped li»e a small iron bank with a s]->t in the top in which to drop the ourn. At the bottom of the bank is a small lever which, when pressed down, causes the coin to fly out in to the carier s hand. The coin receiver sets inside the mail box and takesup bnt little room and is a great improvement over the present system. George will immediately have his device patented.

ALWAYS TAKE MOTHER'S ADVICE.

Mother's Medicine Chest.

When we look back to childhood and ! ' think of what mother advised, we feel 1 . prettv certain that she, advised what was right’ from her own experience. Nile 1 inherited later in her instinct of mother- ■ 1 hood a knowledge of childish ailments ana a certain class of remedies that she knew , . well and their effects. Experience after i < all is the best teacher. Most mothers know as well as doctors, and often better , what ails a young girl on the threshold of young womanhood and what she needs. For nearly forty years many , 1 mothers have recommended to ailing ■ girls a prescription made from wellknown native, medicinal plants. Lady s Slipper root. Golden Seal root. Black Cohosh root. Unicorn root. Blue Cohosh root and chemically pure glycerine, make one < of the best prescriptions for the period- j ical troubles and afflictions which visit i womankind at one time or another. , Prof. F. EUingwood, M. D., of Bennett Medical College, says of Lady’s Slipper root: "It exercises special influence upon nervous conditions, depending upon disorders of the feminine organs—relieves pain, restlessness and nervousness.” Prof. J no. M. Scudder, M. D., says of the same root, "It is valuable in all eases of nervous excitability or irritability.” Os < Golden Seal root. Edwin M. Hale. M. D.. Professor of Materia Medina at Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago, says: "In its general effects on the system there is no medicine in use about w hich there is such general unanimity of opinion. It is universally regarded as a tonic useful in all debilitated states.” Prof. F. Ellingood. M. 1).. author of "A Treatise on Materia Medial and Thera- | peutics.” says of Golden Seal root: "It is an important remedy in disorders of the \ womb." Os Black Cohosh root. Prof. Jno. M. King. M. D.. author of " Women and Her Diseases,”says: "Upon the re- j productive organs it exerts a specific i Influence, promoting regularity. In dys- | menorrhrea (painful periods), it is surpassed by no other drug, being of the ■ greatest utility in irritative and congestive conditions, for dragging pains re- 1 sembling the pains of rheumatism and for side ache.” Os Unicorn root the [ American Dispensatory says: "It is one of our most valuable agents, acting ! as a uterine tonic, and gradually removing abnormal conditions, while at the ! same time it imparts tone and vigor to ; the reproductive organs, hence it is much 1 used in leucorrhoea, amenorrhcea (sup-1 pressed periods), dysmenorrhwa (painful periods), etc.” Dr. John Fyfe. Editor of the "Eclectic i Medical Review.” says of Unicorn root (Helonias Dioiea), one of the chief ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- j scription: " A remedy which invariably acts as a uterine invigorator and always favors a condition which makes for normal i activity of the entire reproductive system. cannot fail to be of great usefulness and of the utmost importance to the S ‘neral practitioner of medicine. In elonias we have a medicament which I more fully answers the above purposes - than any other drug with which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases j peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some I indication for this remedial agent.” He continues: " Helonias (Unicorn root) > —through its tonic and alterative influence— acts equally well in amenorrhcea (suppressed menstruation) and in menorrhagiafflooding or profuse menstruation). It is especially called for: in cases of amenorrhcea which are accompanied by I general debility and an atonic (weak); condition of the digestive organs, as it increases the appetite and promotes di- ? testion and assimilation.

will aid much in bringing about a normd condition of the structures involved. In sterility and impotence its curative power is unmistakable, and within a reasonable time it will restore to healthful activity all eases n- ' dependent upon organic wrongs, and in jeucorrhoea and dernetive menstruation it is a frequently needed remedy.” The follow ing are among the leading indications for Helonias: "Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrlio-a; atonic tweak) conditions of the reproductive organs of women, mental depression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women: constant sensation of In at in the region of the kidneys: menorrhagia (flooding), due to a weakened condition of the reproductive system: amenorrlioea (suppressed menstruation), arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anaemic (thin blood) habit: dragging sensations in the extreme lower part 01 :he abdomen.” If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid woman ca:. do better than take Dr. Pierce’s Fav -ite Prescription, one of the leading and predominating ingredients of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias. associated with other equally efficient medicinal extracts of native roots. From the above extracts it will be understood why Doctor Pierce is so successful in curing diseases peculiar to women with a carefully prepared glyceric extract of the above mentioned roots in just the right proportion—this compound being called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
