. “I do honestly believe your great medicine, Peruna, saved my life, and I cheerfully recommend it to like sufferers. You are at liberty to publish my testimonial, and I truly hope it may be a benefit to some one.” Catarrh of Head and Stomach. Mr. Frank Richter, of 309 East Second Street, Winona, Minn . writes: “A» a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in lending Peruna for catarrhof the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with tills awful disease, and consider it my duty to say a word in behalf of the remed y which gave me such relief. “Peruna cured me, and 1 know it will cure any one else who suffers from this disease. It gives me great pleasure to testify to the curative effects of this medicine. “Peruna is a well tested and frequently used remedy, and for catarrh i of the stomach it is unsurpassed. “My catarrh was principally located . in my head and stomach. I tried many , remedies without success. I tried sev- ■ eral doctors, but they were unable to s cure me. I read of Peruna in the papers, ' and five bottles cured me.” Almost from the first dose Peruna , will relieve symptoms of stomach ca- , tarrh. Pernna at once sharpens the , appetite, increases the digestive powers, and gives renewed strength. Heines Should Buy Peruna Tablets

WILL OPEN MONDAY N ight on Broadway Street— Francis Gast Will Operate Machine W. J. Bosse, the popular proprietor of the Busse opera house has made all necessary arrangements to conduct a moving picture show at Fori Wayne and he expects to open his place of amusement to the public next Monday evening. Some tim e ago Mr. Bosse purchased a new and up to date moving picture machine, which for some time he used in his opera house, while he conducted a vaudeville show. He went to Fort Wayne a few days ago and closed a deal for the renting of a commodious building on Broadway street and he is now closing up matters preliminary to opening the new place of business. He went to the Summit City this morning, where be consummated all of his plans and now it is a sure go. Francis Gast, who has so successfully operated machines for other shows, has been secured by Mr. Bosse and from indications the proposition will be a glowing success from every point of view. The many friends of Mr. Bosse extend their wishes for his success in the business venture. WANTS TO BE THE MAYOR. Portland Boy Would Boss Boyville at Winona. Portland, Ind., June 9.—Joe Clark, Portland’s popular candidate for Mayor of Boyville, at Winona, this summer, is pushing his candidacy with great vigor. He has had button badges made and is sending them to the different clubs who will have delegations at the Boys' City this year. The buttons contain a fine picture of the candidate with the words “On the Square” underneath the likeness. Joe recently returned from Goshen, where he addressed a meeting of boys in the interest of his race for mayor. Every place Joe speaks, he receives the highest praise for his views and the way in which he puts them to his hearers. Several weeks ago when in Van Wert, Ohio, where he organized a boys’ club he addressed the congregation of the Presbyterian church, following the regular services and created a favorable impression. Wm. Shelton has arrived home from a seneval days’ visit with friends and relatives at Akron. Ohio, and Chester, W. Va.

take everything Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky Settled for Taft Chicago, June B.—Manager Frank H. Hitchcock announced tonight there will be no compromise. He is determined to fight for the seating of the delegations instructed for Secretary Taft, and declared he will insist that the committee pass upon all contests. To settle them in any other way, he said, would be unfair to the delegations themselves. H e expressed the opinion that the committee should not shirk the responsibility of sitting in judgment upon the merits of the contests, and in this view he is supported by practically every committeeman from the west and south and many from the north. Thus far contests have been settled from the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky, and there has been no division of the committee in disposing of them. The reason has been the rule which denies a roll call on any question unless it i s demanded by twenty members and the anti-Taft people have not that number on the committee. The suggestion for a division of contesting delegations has become more frequent from day to day. The political maneuvering by such members of the “old guard” as Senators Crane, Scott and Penrose has, not been without effect. The growth of the compromise suggestion was noticed by the Taft men, but they were not disturbed by it until late today, when they learned to their surprise that the plan for a division in Louisiana was favored by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Gen. Powell Clayton of Arkansas. Chicago, June 8. —“The coming Republican national convention is the ancient insolence of the self-con-ceited,” declared the Rev. Frederick I E, Hopkins in a sermon delivered before the congregation of the Pilgrim Congregational church yesterday. “To have delegates instructed, candidates ' selected and platforms made beforehand is the old attempt of the few to ’ rule th e many,” said the Rev. Mr. r Hopkins, “it is as much as to say, ‘You poor, weak-minded, common herd, you can’t think; we’ll think for you.’” o _ SCHEIMAN RESIGNS Accepts Position as Buying and Selling Agent for the r Company e 1 Affairs of the Decatur Packing come pany plant have undergone a decided f change during the course of the past few days in that Fred Scheiman, who e since the organization of the company B has served as manager of the mamp moth concern, has resigned from the ' position and is now assuming the new responsible position of managing the buying of stock and selling of the meat. Mr Scheiman’s new capacity will necessltate his being away from home a portion of the time, but inasmuch e as he is much skilled in this line of , work the stockholders were anxious B ’ that he take charge of same. Mr. 1 a Scheiman has ably cared for the in- j terests of the concern during his man , " agement of same and his ability is rec- ' ognized by all who are interested. " However, he thought it the best for j S the company that he engage in buying ' and selling. The vacancy made by ] the resignation of Mr. Scheiman will S be filled by Fred Hayward, of Owasso, Michigan, who assumed control of the s plant this morning. Mr. Hayward has t been in the meat business for years and well knows how to handle a plant t 1 of this sort, he having resigned a d lucrative position with J. H. Copus and g Company, in Michigan. The family of „ ’ Mr. Hayward will arrive here next Monday to make their future home. j i- — o j

One of the most pleasant and enjoyable times ever in store for the Pythian Sisters was Tuesday. Mrs Fred Linn, as a committee of one, had charge of the evening’s entertainment and she possesses the qualities of a noyal entertainer as was proven last evening. One intersting feature was a peanut contest in which Mrs. S. E. Shamp won first honors and Mrs. Fred Vaughn second honors. Ice cream and cake was a most refreshing part of the entertainment and all report a real fine time. / At the country home of Joseph Wolfe and wife a number of people were invited to Sunday dinner and to say that they had a fine time is putting it in a mild way. Those who enjoyed the festivities were: Mr. and Mrs. Noah Stalter, Mr. and Mrs. James Hendricks Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Orval I

Osterman and Mr. and Mrs. Frank I Johnson. The Christian Endeavor society of the Presbyterian church held a business session at the church last night at which time they decided to give an ice cream social on the church lawn one week from tonight. Other ; amusements will be had at this meet- , ing. It was also decided that Christian Endeavor will be held each Sunday evening from 6:00 o’clock until 6:45, jr?ssicn qf ( fortjy-five minutes instead of an hour . The Ladies’ Aid society of the Chris- . tian church will b e entertained at the home of Mrs. Hunt next Friday afternoon and all members are urged to be present as business of importance will be transacted. o HE WILL MAKE TEN And Dispose of Them in ! 1 Decatur at Reasonable i Prices ’

Peter Kirsch, the well known planning mill man, who a few years ago successfully constructed an automobile and later disposed of same, has just completed another machine which is ideal in every respect and operates very nicely. Mr. Kirsch has, for thirty days worked hard in the construction of the new- machine which is admired by every one who sees it. The automobile has all of the latest appliances including a new brake, which was invented by Mr. Kirsch and which does away with the spring. Two seats have been arranged in the auto and the bed which was made by Mr. Kirsch, is up to the minute style. As an evidence of the skilled workmanship and durability of the car, a number of Decatur people have offered to purchase the machine, and in fact the maker has orders for several more. He expects to build and sell ten autos here and as he disposes of the same at reasonable prices, there is no doubt

but what he will find ready buyers. I - - ’ <> Invitations have been received in t the city announcing the marriage of Miss Frances McLean to Lieutenant I Charles Roemer, U. S. A., on Wednesday evening, June 24th, Chicago, 111. Miss M'cLean is quite well known here, having visited with her aunt, Mrs/Mary Wemhoff. A large consignment of furnishings have been received for the Maple Grove Park and are being installed. One feature of amusement will be a shooting gallery, where you can shoot at chickens, monkeys and various other animals. At the director’s meeting last evening a committee was appointed to purchase a bowling alley and the same will be Installed in a few days.

i FROM KENDALLVILLE Father of One of the Girls Rescued Her—Company Leaves the State This morning when G. R. & I. train No. 5, due in Kendallville at 3:12 a. in., reached this city, three of the famous “Girls in Red” were at the depot awaiting to take the train for Plainw-ell, Michi Just as one of these girls reached for the handrails to board the train, her father, from an Ohio town, who had come to town on the same train, grabbed her round the waist with both arms and begged her not to take the train. She persisted —said her trunk was already aboard, that she was under contract and just had to go. But the father was in earnest —he plead so seriously that the girl finally fainted, and the trainmen, impatient at the unlooked fo r delay, gave the engineman the “highball” and the train pulled out, leaving the father and daughter at' the depot. There followed a heart-sickening scene. The girl, evidently of good parentage, was bound to go on; the father .quiet,

with heart-broken argument, talked it all over. The Sun knows who they were and where they were from, but out of respect for the parents, names and places are omitted. After a half day’s pleading, however, the girl accompanied her father to their home. The climax, however, was in accord with the show itself —it went broke, the manager took the box receipts and left telling the rest to get out as best they could and meet him a Plainwell, Mich. His little $9.00 board bill at Decatur is said to have amounted to $21.40 when Deputy Sheriff Green was through. It is said some twenty-five people are “out" as a result of the carnival—Kendallville Sun. ——o PROSTRATED UNDER TREE Farmer Found by Son, Who Suspected Poison the Cause.

Bluffton, Tnd., June 9— A deport 1 reached this city late this afternoon t that George Chenoweth, a farmer, - living four miles northeast of Blnff- ■ ton, had been found unconscious under a tree on his farm and was dying i from tarbolic acid pisoning. Phys- ’ icians hastily responded to the call, and aft|er their arrival Chenoweth i soon revived. The physicians say that ! he did not drink acid and there was . no positive evidence that be had taken . poison of any kind. He seemed to be ; sick the greater part of the day and it is thought that he had been overcome by the pain. When his son found him he told the boy to go away and leave him alone. The son fearing his father had taken poison sent the messages.
