Other symptoms of female weakness are frequent headache, dizziness, imaginary specks or dark spots floating before the eyes, gnawing sensation in stomach, dragging or bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic region, disagreeable drains from pelvic organs, faint spells with general weakness. If any considerable number of the above •ymptoms are present there Is no remedy ®aaent than Dr. Pierce’s Favorite ' >re X>£fc>W>HSJt has a record of over forty years of [s the most potent Ijyigorating tonic anddstrengthening nertWejinown fro medical science. It is made of the glyceric extracts of native medicinal roots found in our forests and contains not a drop of alcohol or harmful, or habitrforming drugs. Its ingredients are printed on the bottle-wrapper and attested under oath as correct. Every ingredient entering into "Favorite Prescription ” has the written endorsement of the most eminent medical writers of all the several schools of practice—more valuable than any anpount of •ton-professional testimonials —though the latter are not lacking, having been contributed voluntarily by grateful patients in numbers to exceed the endorsements given to any other medicine extant for the cure of woman’s ills. You cannot afford to accept any medicine of unknown composition as a substitute for this well proven remedy of known composition, even though the dealer may make a little more profit thereby. I’eur interest in regaining health is paramount to a ny selfish interest of his and it is an insult to your intelligence for him to try to Palm off upon you a substitute.

The Clover Leaf railroad company made an investigation of a bad wreck at Kokomo Wednesday morning of the west bound passenger train. The blame appears to attach to a switching crew. The wreck was caused by the passenger train running into an open switch. Conductor Williams, who was in charge of the yard crew says: “I opened the switch at the hoop mill to let our engine and the cut of cars we were handling in with the purpose ot clearing the way for the west bound passenger train, following the engine down the track. I supposed my brakeman, G. I. Sholty, would watch the switch. He failed to do it. I suppose we are responsible.” —Delphos Herald. A Springfield, Illinois, paper contained the following statement with regard to the proposed air line to be built from Springfield to Chicago by the Clover Leaf people: "The new air line will make it necessary to concentrate all the offices, shops and division headquarters of the two roads at Springfield, which, it is announced, is to be done. The Clover Leafs shops at Frankfort, Ind., and the Alton’s at Bloomington, 111., will be moved here and located north of the city, where work is now in progress on new buildings such as a 50 stall round house and a concrete and cement boaling station. Springfield will then be the hub of a system extending east to Toledo, west to Kansas City, north to Chicago, souh to St. Louis and north to Peoria. Charles Wills, ex-Bluffon bffse ball player and all-around athlete recently shucked and cribbed 136 bushels of com in nine hours, on his father’s farm, one and a half miles north of Gaston, Ind. This record more than rivals that of the champion of Illinois I who agrees to husk 150 bushels in ten hours and with the aid of a driver and man to unload. Wills says he can beat a record of 150 bushels for ten hours’ work and crib same in good shape, alone. Anybody desiring a husking match can probably arrange same by addressing him at Matthews. Ind.—Bluffton Banner. "When tired out, go home. When you want consolation, go home. When you want fun, go 'home. When you want to show others that you have reformed, go home and let your family get acquainted with the fact. When you want to show yourself at your best go home and do the act there. When you feel like being extra liberal go home and practice on your wife and children first. When you want to shine with extra brilliancy go home and light up the whole household.” A letter has been received here from A. D. Carr, a former Ossian man and a member of Bluffton lodge No. 796, B. P. O. Elks, telling of his serious condition in consequence of injuries in a traction wreck in Pennsylvania. He was so badly injured that he will be unable to help himself for months. He brought suit for damages against the company, but was given judgment of only about $750, half of which went to his attorneys and his expenses more than took the other half. He is now in Chicago.— Bluffton News. Once on a time a woman at Christmas made up her mind to be sensible and give her friends only useful presents. She found it a much harder task than if she had bought a lot of thoughtless things and distributed them haphazard, for she had to study the peculiarities of each friend and try to remember the one thing lacking that would make her happy. But by putting on her thinking eap and sitting up at night she at last congratulated herself that she had succeeded. But lo and behold! When her friends received the presents they were furious.

President Theodore Shouts, of the Clover Leaf and Alton, accompanied by other officials of the Clover Leaf and also of the Alton road passed through the city Monday on a special train enroute to Toledo, the party being out to make an inspecion of the road. The special reached the yards at 12:55 and 10 minutes after was on its way east, the engines having been changed here. None of the party left the car in which they were traveling while in the city. Fred Reppert, the auctioneer, lids morning received a handsome present from McNeil Brothers, of Bowen, Illin the shape of a watch charu The charm was made from a tush taken from a famous Duroc boar.

A HARMONY BANQUET. Democrats Feast With Democratic Editors of Tenth District. La Porte, Ind., Dec. 9. —“Bryan and victory” was the battle cry raised Saturday night by 250 northern Indiana Democrats who gathered here to banquet with the Democratic editors of the tenth district. Every mention of the Nebraskan’s name was received with applause. Party harmony was the keynote of the meeting. Please to “get together” came from every speaker on the program and-|every utterance along this line was applauded. — o TRYING TO EVADE THE LAW. Many Normal and Training Schools Shirking. The state board of education adopted a resolution disapproving the alleged disposition on the part of normal schools and teachers’ training schools to evade the law in seeking places on the accredited list of teachers' training colleges. Under a new law, taking effect January 1, no one without 12 weeks’ training in a normal school will be granted a teachers’ license in Indiana. The board issued a warning that the new law must be complied with. George Patterson narrowly escaped being killed by a discharge from a gun in the hands of a friend, while hunting near Craigville yesterday afternoon. In fact, had he been twentyfive instead of one hundred yards away from the shooter; had the gun been loaded with buck shot instead of No. 8 shells, and had his neck been composed of ordinary flesh and bone instead of a certain resistible, elestic substance, he would have been undoubtedly slain. But, owing to these few trifling facts, his life was spared he did not die the death of a rabbit, and he will be present this evening sound and unmaimed, at the initial winter feast of the Buzzards. —Bluffton Banner.

Homer Underwood, a practicing attorney in Fort Wayne, formerly in the practice in this city, and in part nership with S. C. Cook was in the city today appearing in court in a case before Judge Cook. This was his first visit since summer and by several friends he was not recognized. During an illness this fall his hair turned quite gray within three days. The change in his appearance is quite marked, and caused the failure to recognize him. Mr. Underwood now appears in about his usual health, but finds it rather embarrassing to have to introduce himself to his own acquaintances.—Huntington Herald. The cost of advertising space in the big periodcal sounds like a list of Standard Oil profits to the man who is used to a rate of a few cents an inch. For instance, a single page in one issue of the Chicago News costs $1,141.56; in the New York American, $980; in the New York Herald. $698.25; in Collier’s Weekly, $1,600; in the Saturday Evening Post, $1 800; in ’the Delineator. $1,800; in the Woman's Home Companion, $1,890; in the Ladies’ Home Journal, $4 000. And yet the people advertising are glad to buy the space at that figure, and know that it pays to advertise. ■While there are many persons who are coming out for road supervisors it might be well to enumerate some of the duties devolving upon them by law. The new law goes into effect on December 14, 1907, and by its provisions supervisors are allowed sixty days’ time in a year at $2 per day. to work out the poll and land tax and perform other duties. Supervisors are under the direction and subject to the orders of the trustee. Marshal Bohnke received a notice from Knox, Ird.. yesterday which reads thus: Stolen —from my residence in Knox, Ind., Saturday evening Dec. 7 1907, one sterling silver jewel case, marked “Sterling” on top. plush lined containing ladles’ % karat diamond ring, one % karat diamond ohirt stud, one gold stud with leaf on front. one bracelet and other small jewelry. $25 reward will be paid for the apprehension of the thief. W. M Bigg.' Harvey Prough, of Ossian, probably will have more faith in banks in the future and he certainly should have after his experience of Sunday night, when his residence was burglarized and the thief or thieves made a clean escape with $270 in cash and a S3O ring which was stolen while the fam ily was absent at church. Ed Stapleton, while working at the p. W. Smith sawmill at this place last Friday, had the misfortune to have two of his fingers badly mangled by getting them cajjght between two pieces of timber. The accident was very painful and it will be some time before he will be able to resume his work. Prof. Leon, who is playing at the Bosse opera house this week, is making a. decided hit. Every member of the cast is a star and the audiences have been well pleased with the performances.

HER SON ABROAD Not Informed of Her Serious Condition, Wil Not Arrive Until Next Week. Milbury, Mass., Dec. 9. —Mrs. Louisa M. Haft, mother of Secretary of War William H. Taft, died Sunday. Her death had been hourly expected for a week past, having surrered since last July from acute indigestion and a general breakdown of her vigorous constitution. Her husband was Alphonso Taft, secretary of war under President Grant, and later minister to Austria and Russia. Her son, William Taft, who has been touring the world for several months sailed from Cuxhaven, Saturday, and will arrive at New York December 18th. An incident that seems rather queer to many is the fact that he was not informed of the serious illness of his aged mother, in time to reach her bedside before her death occurred.

, WELLS COUNTY COUPLE WEDDED , Event Occurred at Berne—Surprise to Friends. I A wedding held four days ago and kept secret until Sunday noon, comes _ as one of the biggest surprises that has ever been given Wells county citizens. The couple are Henry C. Schott, a son of George Schott, of ’ Domestic, and Miss Ada Belle GottsI chalk, a daughter of Michael Gottschalk, also of that place. ‘ Last Thursday the two came to Bluffton, took out a marriage license ’ and asked Clerk Plessinger that the ; record be kept secure from the eyes ' of the newspaper reporter until Monday morning. The obliging official ' r granted their wish, and with the 11- ’ cense they drove at once to Berne, where at the residence of the Rev. C. A. Cooper they were united in marriage. only the necessary number of witnesses being present at the cere1 ■ mony. The nuptials were kept a se- ' cret from every one other than their ! parents, and even their most intimate 1 friends were not aware of its having 1 taken place until it was announced yesterday. The groom is one of the • county’s best known men. He is the proprietor of the grain elevator at Pe- ■ troleum and is identified as one of ! the leading men of that growing little ’ city. Miss Gottschalk is a most estimable young lady and has a wide circle of friends. The young couple will ' make their home at Petroleum. —Bluffton Banner. o PUBLIC SALE.

MUCH DISCUSSION As to the Real Meaning Causes an Appeal to the State’s Lawyer. Indianapolis, Dec. 11. —The state board of education has decided to ask for an opinion from the attorney general on the new law which has to do with teachers’ wages and teachers’ qualifications. The law was discussed by members of the board, and there was a variance of opinion. Some hold that according to the new law, a teacher of more than three years’ experience will not be entitled to the maximum wage unless he has also a three years’ license or its equivalent, and that a teacher of one year’s experience shall not be entitled to 3 cents a day on his general average of scholarship unless he has a two years’ license. Others believe that the scale of wages will be based on experience regardless of the license. The difference of opinion in regard to the construction of the law arises out of that section of the law which relates to beginning teachers. The law provides that teachers of no experience, of one years’ experience shall have had certain normal school and high school training and shall hold certain grades of licenses. A proviso ’however, makes it apparent that the requirements in regard to normal school and high school training shall ■not apply to those already in the service. Another section of the law provides that a teacher of three or more years of successful experience shall be entitled to wages a day equal to the amount obtained by multiply ing his general averages of scholarship by 3% cents. The question arises as to whether this teacher of experience must also have a three years' license in order to settle maximum wages. This is the question which the attorney general will be asked to decide, and which will be considered' by the board when it holds its next meeting, January 14-15. Demarchus C. Brown, state librarian, appointed Miss Bertha Carter, of Plainfield, to a position in the state library. He reported, also, that he would soon buy a large number of books and that he would prepare a resolution asking that a new and separate building be erected for the state library, the building to be occupied also by some of the other state offl,cers. He will ask the board to adopt this resolution.

FOR REPUTATION Claims Affidavit for Search Warrant Injured Her in Sum of $2,000. Attorney DeVoss filed another case today in which Susie Conaut ,of Berne, is the plaintiff and in which she demands $2,000 damages from Louis J. Habegger. She alleges that Said defendant filed an affidavit before ’Squire Liddy, of Berne, asking for a search warrant to search her house and barn, presumably for a bicycle which had been stolen from him and which he believed was in the house or barn. The search was made and no bicycle found. Now the plaintiff claims the action was taken to injure her good reputation for honesty and it did so. The plaintiff claims never to have had possession of said bicycle and has ordered her attorney to file a series of suits by which she expects to prove her statements and recover damages. A few days ago she filed suit against William Tucker, marshal of Berne demanding SI,OOO for false imprisonment of her son and it is said another suit and it is said of her son another suit or two will be filed within a few days against prominent citizens. o ANOTHER THANK YOU.

The burden of a “bad back.” A lame, a weak or an aching back. Tells you of kidney ills. Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you. Here is Decatur testimony to prove it: John Cashmeyer, living on Fifth street, near Jackson street, Decatur, Ind., says: "For years my back bothered me off and on. I would have attacks of weakness and aching, which were so bad I could hardly do anything. Every little cold I caught or every little strain seemed to settle right in my kidneys and I would be unable to work. On one occasion the attack was so bad, 1 had to go home and for three months I could do nothing. There were sharp shooting pains up between my shoulders and also down through my limbs, which the doctor prononuced as sciatic rheumatism. When those pains would strike me they seemed to go to the very marrow of my bones and I would be in agony. I even had to have support to get across the room. Medicines and other remedies did not do me good, but I gradually got over that spell. Some one told me about Doan’s Kidney Pills and as I had seen them highly recommended, I got a box at the Holthouse Drug’Co.'s store. The first box helped me so much that I got another and I kept on taking them and improved right along. It was not so very long before every symptom of kidney complaint was removed and I felt well and strong again. It required only four boxes to cure me so I recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills to all my friends.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
