STOPS ANY ITCHING. ♦ Doan’s Ointment Cures Eczema and Itching Piles—Djecatur People Recommend It. One application of Doan’s Oointment stops any itching. Short treatment cures eczema, Itching piles, salt rheum —any skin eruption or skin itching. It is the cheapest remedy to use, because so little of it is required to bring relief and a cure. Here is Decatur testimony to prove it: John Woy, living at 616 Fifth street, Decatur Ind., says: “I used Doan’s Ointment with very beneficial results and can recommend it very highly as a remedy for skin eruption. For years I was annoyed by irritation of my limbs which was very exasperating in warm weather, and at night I suffered terribly and I have had to get up out of my bed on account qf it. I tried a number of remedies, but got no relief. Finally Doan’s Oointment was brought .to my notice and I got a box at Holthouse Drug Co.’s store and ap.plied it. It stopped the itching in a few moments and a few applications cured the eruption. There has been no trouble since." . For sale by all dealers. Price >.50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New.

Agent John Fleming, of the Chicago & Erie railroad informed us this morning that his road has the proud distinction of being the only railroad line in the United States during the past six months that has not killed a person during the operation of their line. This report came to him from headquarters where a correct tabulation of fatalities are kept by and for all the roads in the country. That tfiis is a remarkable record goes without speaking, and the line is fortunate indeed, and should be proud of their record. Railroad deaths during the past six months have been numerous and one could hardly read a paper unless they ran across the death of some person caused by locomotives. Still, according to the records, published, the Chicago & Erie have thus far escaped free advertising in this line.

MOTHERS READ THIS daughter of c. w. stump Mrs. C. W. Stump of Canton, Ohio, writes: I wish I could induce every mother who has a weak, sickly child to. try that delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol. Our little daughter was pale, thin and sickly. “We tried various medicines, but without any benefit whatever, and she could not take cod liver oil or emulsions, as they nauseated her and upset her stomach. Learning that Vinol contains all the medicinal and strength-creating properties of cod liver oil, but without the disagreeable oil, we decided to try it, and the results were marvelous, so quickly was she restored to health and strength. “We have never sold a medicine equal to Vinol for delicate children.

PROPOSITION FROM THE BELL They are Seeking to Consolidate the Telephone Business Under One Management. Indianapolis, Ind., May 15. —The independent telephone interests today heard in detail the plan of the Bell interests to consolidate at the meeting of the independent telephone association, when their exact offer was made public for the first time. The offer was that the Bell would abandon its exchanges, where they are losing money, and connect with the independents for long distance business. Also that it will sell its exchanges where it is making money at the value of all such local plants as investments and retain the long distance connections. It does not contemplate these companies quitting connections with the independent long distance companies. Frank M. Schirmeyer, secretary of the Citizens’ Telephone company of this, city, is in attendance at the abpve meeting. The directors of the Ipcal company are in favor of a consolidation of the telephone business, providing the terms of such consolidation are right. n | A new Presbyterian, church at Augusta, Illionis, was dedicated recently by Rev.
