Mr. Jacob L. Davis, Galena, Slone county, Mo., writes. “I have been in bad health for thirty-seven years, and after taking twelve bottles of yonr Peruns I »m cured.” Mr. A. E. Kidd, well-known architect, 5477 Jefferson Ave., Chicago, 111., writes: “I have had catarrh over half of my life. I tried nearly every catarrh remedy advertised, beside a great many physicians’ treatments, all of which failed. I had heard and read of Pernna and decided to try it. 1 have taken seven bottles of it and weigh 172 pounds.” A SINCERE RECOMMENDATION. Mr. D. C. Prosser, R. F. D.

Finally I came to the conclusion that I had catarrh of the stomach and seeing Peruna advertised, began to take it. It helped me soon, and after taking three or four bottles I was entirely cured of stomach trouble, andean now eat anything.”

A grand meeting of the I. O. O. F. was held Monday night, being largely attended. Special business was acted upon, good drill practice of the first, second and third degree teams and a general good time. During the session several members gave excellent talks and splendid speeches were given along the line of Odd Fellowship by three of the most active members, who were J. C. Leiter, Ed Christen and L. C. Helm. Os the members who were present there is not one who can say that he did not enjoy the meeting. It is earnestly urged that all members be present next Monday evening. According to estimates printed in the Chicago papers this morning, 15,000 people went to the Gunness murder farm one mile out of Laporte Sunday and inspected the premises on which so many human skeletons have been dug wp within the last few days. Visitors came from all directions Chicago. South Bend, Elkhart. Goshen, Niles and other towns being represented. The roadway leading from Laporte to the Gunness farm was literally black with humanity. Hundreds of people walked. Others rode In automobiles, carriages and other vehicls and some rode bicycles. That at least two Huntington county residents hide (their money iby burying it in the ground instead of depositing it in the bank came to light in the payment c* the spring installment of taxes. These two men, living in different parts of the county and in no way related to each other, turned in to the county treasury a few days ago several hundreds of dollars that were covered with dirt and had a musty smell which plainly indicated that the currency had been taken from the ground only a short time before it was passed ov.er the counter of the treasurer’s office — Huntington Times. That Mrs. Belle Gunness spent a night in the Palace hotel in Lafayette is the opinion expressed by Bob Egan, clerk of that hostelry. The woman Egan believes to be Mrs. Gunness registered as being from Lagro. She occupied a room directly over the office and paced the floor all night. She seemed on the verge of nervous collapse and finally left the hotel, being anxious to get away. According to Egan the woman bears a striking resemblance to the pictures of Mrs. Gunness published in the newspapers. The Lafayette police will investigate.— Goshen Democrat. — DISTURBED THE CONGREGATION The person who disturbed the congregation last Sunday by continually coughing is requested to buy a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar.

MISSED BUT ONE ' Voted More Often With ] Republicans Than With Democrats V. asuiugion. May 13—Representative Adair has decided upon a novel plan of campaigning. When he re- ’ turns to Indiana at the close of the 1 present session he will take with him i I a complete detailed statement of 1 everything he has done while in congress. This statement will be an exhaustive account of his stewardship ; and in every speech that he makes during the campaign he will read it to his audience, so that they may know exactly what he has done since he came to Washington as the representative in congress from the Eighth district. Ordinarily the task of “digging up” a congressman's record for campaign purposes is left to the congressman’s opponent, but Mr. Adair will save his opponent that trouble. Mr. Adair says that his statement which he will present to his constituents will contain everything concerning his record that could be revealed with a fine-tooth comb. “I want every man in the district to know exactly what I have done since I came here and everything that I have not done,” he said. "What will your statement of your stewardship show?” he was asked. “It will show,” said he, "that since I have been a member of congress I have voted on every roll call except one, and that I have acted with absolute independence, so far as partisanship is concerned. It will show that I have voted with the Rpubllcans more often than with the Democrats. I have made my campaign on the theory that if elected I would represent all men of all parties and an examination of my record will prove that there has been no trace of partisanship In any vote or utterance of mine. My Democratic constituents well remember the platform upon which I was elected and not one of them has criticized me for disregarding partisanship In tfce parformance of my congressional duties. On the other hand I have had letters from over 100 Republicans over the district assuring me that they are pleased with my course and stating that I have kept every promise that I made to them.” Mr. Adair intends to make a hustling canvass of the Eighth district, going into every county and many of the townships. He will begin his tour about the middle of August.

THE ELECTION IS TOMORROW. It Seems Certain That the Subsidy Will Carry. The subsidy election to be held tomorrow which will determine whether or not the Fort Wayne and Springfield interurban will be extended south as proposed, is indeed an important issue. When the voters of Washington and Monroe townships go to the polls they should carefully consider what is at stake and cast their ballot in favor of the subsidy which not only means that the road will be extended. but every citizen of the city and resident of the township will be benefitted thereby. But $5,000 is asked from the taxpayers of this township and when considered what a small amount each one will pay, it seems that every voter will give his stamp of approval for the subsidy. There are a few people who do not fully understand the proposition, but think that the amount is much greater than it really is. Everybody get in the game and vote for the small amount asked for. The condition of L. A. Holthouse is so improved at this time that it tis believed he will recover. He is still a little nervous, but his mind is clear practically all the time. Eli Meyers 'says he beilieves he will be as well as ever in a few weeks, and the news will be received with pleasure by his friends. Howard Johnson, held in jail at Bluffton for ten months as a witness against Mrs. Ella LaPointe, the Indian woman who shot Mrs, Florence Besancon, has been given his liberty. The charge of fornication which had been placed against him was dismissed upon the agreement that he would leave town. Johnson escaped from the Bluffton jail a few weeks ago, but was recaptured in Michigan. The 46,000 members of the Illnois Commercial Men’s association are going after the owners of firetrap hotels with a big club. In a circular just sent out R. A. Cavenaugh, secretary of the association, asks each member of the association to report to him all hotels which do not protect their guests against fire. The circular takes as its text the Aveline hotel fire at Fort Wayne, in which three members of the association lost their lives and

THE DEAL IS CLOSED! Eli Myers Retires from the Business and Mrs. Presdorf Sells Interest A business deal was consummated i Tuesday night whereby Charles Myers, I who recently returned to this city' from Angola, became half owner of the Meyer, Presdorf and Moses furniture and undertaking firm.

Miller, of Lima, Indiana, who immediately took possession. Mr. Myers returning to this city. Since his return Mr. Myers has been negotiating for the purchase or the intersts of Eli Myers and the deceased, Eli Presdorf. The transaction gives Mr. Myers one-half inerest in the establishment and the firm will hereafter be known as Myers and Moses. The Pew partner in this enterprising place of business needs no introduction to the people of Decatur and vicinity. He is a son of John D. Myers, and is well and favorably known. For many years he has dealt with the public, having clerked in several stores of our city and it is safe to say that the new firm will enjoy a liberal patronage. —o Invitations are out announcing the fact that a senior dance will be given at the K.

A CALIFORNIAN'S LUCK. “The luckiest day of my life was when I bought a box of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,” writes Charles F.

If any one has any doubts as to the virtue of Foley’s Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, after losing hope cf recovery, on account of the failure of so many remedies. finally tried Foley’s Kidney Cure, which he sal’s was “just the thing’’ for him. as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

It certainly is a grand, good medicine, and I heartily recommend it.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o — Kidney complaint kills more people than any other disease.

I went to two different hospitals for treatment, but without any lasting benefit I was constantly raising yellow and green phlegm, and the trouble was so unbearable and nauseating that I was ashamed to go out In company.
