Women Who Wear Well. It Is astonishing how gres-t a ehange a tew years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this .change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses which too often come with marriage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the general health suffers when there Is derangement of the health of the delicate womaTHjorgans, so surely whe/Utbes® organs in health thence witness to the Tact in rbaefcH Steady a million women have found health and happiness in the use of Pr.

Departures Saturday from Huntington were Mrs. John S. Branyan and children ,who are enroute to Edmunton, Canada, there to join Mr. Branyan, who has located at that city in the practice of law. having a place with en established firm, where he will soon be made a partner. Mr. Branyan left Huntington suddenly several weeks ago. New York, June 30. —Justice Dowling denied the application of Harry K. Thaw to be removed from the Matteawan state asylum for the criminal insane to some other institution on the ground that Thaw j s a dangerously insane person, not to be punished, but to be kept under restrainst so that he may not injure either himself or any one else. The justice adjourned the case until July 13, when further argument will be heard, and ordered Thaw to be returned to the prison at Poughkeepsie in the meantime. A new temperance drink has made its appearance in New Castle and other dry towns. It is manufactured by the breweries and is an exact counterpart of the lager beer except that it contains less alcohol and therefore will not be intoxicating. It contains the same hop taste, same color and foams just like the real article. It is known by many names, 'dry beer,” “Nip,” “Tonica.” etc. and is becoming quite popular. The manufacturer and dealer who sell this new brand of temperance drink will escape the high revenues. A party of Fort Wayne men consisting of members and officers of the' Cuban Land and Improvement company will leave Thursday afternoon for Chicago from which point they will go directly to Cuba for the purpose of looking after some valuable realty holdings on the island. The party will consist of Bert Dennis, Dr. W. W. Barnett and son. A. D.Palmar and son and G. H. Brewer, of Angola. The company is a local one and all of the men interested recently made trips to the islands looking up the lumber prospects. They came back with glowing accounts of the wonderful growth of hard woods, and the company was organized for the purpose of developing the resources of Uncle Sam's protege in the Atlantic. The local men already control over 32.000 acres of timber land on the island. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazete.

Denver, Colo., June 30. —The fight over the anti-injunction plank in the Democratic platform is not the only struggle in which the committee on resolutions and possibly the convention itself may be involved. It developed that the prohibition question is to be brought to the front and that a desperate effort will be made to have a plank declaring in its favor placed in the platform. The prohibition movement will be headed bv Gen. James B. Weaver of lowa, who demanded of the recent Democratic convention in that state that it declare in favor of prohibition. Gen. Weaver and his followers were not successful in their state, but have made arrangements to bring the matter before the Democratic national convention. They claim strong backing from a number of southern delegations whose states recently passed prohibition laws. The ami-injunction plank continues to provoke a large amount of discussion among the party leaders who have arrived for the convention. While opinions differ as to the exact nature of the plank which should be adopted all are of one mind in saying it should be a definite and specific statement and leave no possible doubt in the mind of any reader as to where the party stands on this question. It is generally believed, however, the antiinjunction resolution will not provide for trials by jury in cases of contempt of court, or favor in any way measures which might be construed as interfering with the prerogatives of the federal courts The friends of Mr. Bryan say such of his critics a s re expressing themselves in fear of a radical anti-injunction plank are fighting the air. The plank has not been written; it has not been drafted, and its form it still a matter which is under careful discussion. It is ''aid to be the deire of Mr. Bryan to confer with as many prominent men of the party as is possible before any decisive action in formulating this resolution is taken. Des Moines, la., June 30—" I am not going to Denver,” said Governor Johnson in an interview today. “The story was out that I would be there, but it is not true. I propose to tend to my own knitting and run the state of Minnesota in the best possible way and do a little Chautauqua work on the side. However, I will be represented at Denver. Good political and personal friends of mine will be there. If Bryan is the choice of the convention will you seek recognition from the national party by agreeing to accept the vice presidential nomination?” "No, no,” he said hurriedly. “I am a candidate for the presidential nomination of my party. If I do not get it, I am not a candidate for anything else. My friends strictly understand this point.”

D. Werling, of Preble, was a business caller in our city today. It is said that all of the women in Denmark work until they are married Some of them don’t 'in tjfets country, but all of them do within a few months after the knot is tied. As to what labor, if any, "father” performs in the country of the Danes, we are not informed. In 1897 there were but six beet sugar factories in the United States, producing annually 37.500 tons. Now there are sixty-five factories, producing last season 433,000 tons. The value of the present output of domestic beet sugar is $43,300,000. Os this sum over one-half is paid directly to the farmer for his beets. If the 1,700000 tons of sugar imported yearly from Cuba. Java and Europe were produced at home 250 more beet sugar factor! >s would be needed, and about $110,000,000 each year would be paid to the farmers growing beets. The United States can, if it wishes, produce all the sugar it consumes, vast though that amount is. Germany has 398 beet sugar factories and produces 2,400.000 tons of sugar. France has 307 beet sugar factories, whose annual output is 1,075,000 tons. Russia produces 1.450,000 tons; Austria, 1,509.000 tens; Belgium 328,000 tons; Holland 27,000 tons. The American consumer buys his sugar cheaper thin any people in the world, except the English, who produce no sugar. All these facts are of tremendous importance to California, Michigan and the other beet sugar states. The first actual work on the extension of the Fort Wayne and Springfield traction line from this city to Berne began Tuesday morning.when a corps of engineers under A. W. Fishbaugh of Celina, began the real survey. He is assisted by Mr. Weiser of St. Marys, Mr. Grass, of Cleveland and Will Richards of this city. They began work at the Frlsinger farm and will set the grade stakes over the entire right of way to Berne, the work requiring about three weeks. In the meantime the grading will be hurried along. Present arrangements are to begin this work Friday morning when thirteen teams and a force of men will begin making the big fill at Borums run on the Miller farm, this fill being one-third of the entire grade, so far as labor and expense are corncerned. When this is done and the bridge built the work will progress rapidly. The steel foi the extension of the line from the court house to the south city limits at the Frisinger farm, has been shipped and will arrive some time this week, when the work of laying same. The first car to Berne will probably be run about October 15th if present plans materialize.

The International Congress on Tuberculosis which is to be held in Washington Sept. 21 to Oct 12 meets every three years, and this is the first time it has come to this country. The last meeting was held in Paris, France, in 1905, and three years before that the gathering took place in London. It is not likely that the congress will convene in he United States for a great many years, as the honor of entertaining it is eagerly sought by the countries abroad. Preparations for the gathering are engaging the attention of every enlighened nation. The white plague is no respecter of persons or of races. It is not limited to any quarter of the globe, and the common ground on which Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America are meeting, is the belief that this disease may be brought under as complete control as smallpox, plague, yellow fever, and other infectious diseases have been by wide-awake peoples. Committees of arrangements for the congress have been organized in every foreign country, and in every state in our own land. In every section, plans are being perfected for number of the foreign country, and in every state in our own land. In every section, plans are being perfected for representation in the congress. A number of the foreign governments have already announced to the state department at Washington the names of their official delegates; while others have acquainted the secretary general of the congress with their plans for participation in the congress and in the great exhibition that will be held in connection with the gathering. The exhibition and the congress are to be housed in the National Museum, adjoining the Smithsonian. The exhibition promises to be practically a word’s fair on the subject of tuberculosis. It will show what is being done around the globe in the fight against tuberculosis, from Alaska down to the Cape of Good Hope, from, the Steppes of Northern Russia to the diamond fields of South Africa. Every stare in the Union is expected to be represented in some way at the congress. The governors of forty states, including Indiana, have authorized the secretaries of state boards of health, the heads of instituions, or other officials, to arrange for participation in the gathering.

The street sweeper was on duty last Saturday night, and as a result Second street looked her best on Sunday. Marshal Bohnke wishes to notify the farmers that it will be a convenience to the street officials and perhaps themselves too. If no horses were hitched on this thoroughfare late in the evening. Several farmers Saturday evening thought their animals were stolen, but a short investigation found them on side streets. This wa# necessary in order that the street could be cleaned. This is the way politics is played. It is a game set up long in advance and the man that gets the most tricks will not turn them over to the other fellow. In such a game, as in many t>thers, it is probably more consistent with decorum, dignity and fortitude to acknowledge the corn and get ready to shuffle the cards for another game than to snivel and whine and bellyache around that the other fellow seems to have high, low, jacF and the game in his hand and won t give you any points out of regard o the toiling masses and that unless he does you won’t play in his backyard, tain dissenting opinions in the celebrated liuor license case es the City of Montpeler vs. Lee Mills, appealed from the Blackford circuit court. The majority in the higher court recently made its finding, reversing the decision of Judge Sturgis. Friday the dissenting opinion Was given out. It read as follows: Where the city council arbitrari'y refused the holder of a county saloon license any opportunity to show himself also entitled to a city saloon license under a city ordinance, and refused him permission to offer any evidence in support of his application, ! after he had tried in every manner to comply with the requirements of the ordinance, the city ought not to be allowed to maintain an action for the prescribed penalty for selling liquor without the city license. A city council merely acts in a ministerial capacity in granting or refusing a city saloon license, and can exercise no judicial power, and where a person I fully entitled to such license is arbi- ' trarily refused one without a hearing I he should be accorded the same legal standing as if it had been issued. The opinion was written by Judge Jordan and Judge Gillett concurred. Mills was granted a license to engage in the sale of intoxicating liquors at Montpelier by the board of county ■ commissioners. The Montpelier city council refused to accept his city license fee. Not to be outdone Mills* placed the fee in a bank to the city’s credit and engaged in business as though there had been no opposition to the issuing of a license.

Boston, Mass., June 30. —This week the city of Boston is flooded with the club women of the world in convention here. Mrs. Sarah P. Decker, of Denver, has been a strong president during the last term, but she is about to step aside and there is great rivalry for the office for president. The two prominent rivals for the post are Mrs. Philip N. Moore, of St. Louis, and Mrs. May Alden Ward, of the Massachusetts Mrs. Moore, who was elected during the year of the world’s fair, when the biennial took place in St. Louis, as a compliment not only to the woman and to the west, but to the entertaining city, has the tradition of the s> oalled logical candidate to support her claim. Before her Mrs. Charles I H. Denison, of New York, who has i filled the position of first vice president while Mrs. Rebecca Lowe was in power, succeeded her principal in the chair. Among the notable speakers to be heard at the evening meetings are Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, and Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neal. Fully 10,000 delegates and visitors are expected to be here when the convention opens Monday. The arrivals today found awaiting them a carefully prepared program planned by the club women of Massachusetts. The incoming trains were met by a band of young women, acting as guides, to direct the visitors to hotels and the convention hall. At the latter place a bureau of local information was opened today. The main auditorium will be Symphony hall, where morning and evening meetings will be held throughout the whole of next week. Five evening overflow meetings will be held in Chickering hall. At Symphony hall a branch bank has been opened for the oonvenience iof the delegates, and 1 other features include a special postoffice and physicians and nurses in constant attendance in the rest room of the hall. The entertainment program arranged for the week will embrace a complimentary sail down the harbor, a visit to the homes of Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcotts and historic places of' Concord and Lexington, a luncheon at the home of Whittier t.t Amesbury, and trips to Salem and Plymouth. Mrs. John Niblick of this city is in attendance at this meeting of the club women. She is accompanied by her husband.

Misses Anna Martin and Elenora Forking of Decatur, passed through Portland Monday enroute to Cedar Point, where they will visit friends for three or four weeks.—Portland Commercial-Review. Charts N. Laekey, formerly of this city, and who recently purchased the Rainier restaurant at Willshtre, has written us a letter, in which he denies that he owes anybody in Decatur or anywhere else and says if he does he stands ready to pay any account. He also encloses an article of agreement with L. L. Sheline. showing that he was to work for the latter until June 3rd when he was to become the owner by paying $550. He says the people don’t understand the deal and that he has been slandered. One of the gravest accidents which we have ever been called upon to chronicle befell Miss Mabel, the twnty-three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J- Daily, of near South Salem. Monday afternoon at one o’clock when she fell beneath the wheels of a hay tedder and sustained a broken inferior maxillary. Miss Daily just returned a week ago from Cairo, Mich., where she has been teaching school for the past year. Wishing to assist her father in getting in his hay crop, she boarded a tedder and began to work. The chain of the tedder broke and the horses became frightened. In the wild flampage the unfortunate girl was thrown to the ground and her head protruded between the spokes < f a wheel in such a manner as to cause the wheel to slip as the tedder went along. Miss Daily was dragged nine feet and w-hen recovered from the perilous situation she lay prostrate and unconscious for more than fifteen minutes. Medical aid was hastily summoned and the lower jaw was placed in form of plaster parts. From present indications Miss Daily will recover without much inconvenience. The injured young woman has been assigned to teach the same school at Cairo, Michigan, nxt year as she did the past year with a material increase in salary. She is a cousin of C. K. Moses, of the firm of Meyer and Moses and a niece of Ed S. Moses, tße greenhouse man. She is also a graduate of the Decatur high school. Miss Anna McLean, of Circleville, Ohio, was the honored guest at a delightful party given at Maple Grove Park Sunday. An elegant luncheon was served. The party consisted if Misses Stella Bremerkamp, Ode and Letta Fullenkamp, Bert Hart, Amelia Webber, Louise Brake and Messrs. John Bingham, Jofan Burrell, John Flanery, Mr, Braskey, Lawrence Kleinhenz. Charles Lose and Herbert Bremerkamp.

The K. of C.’s social occurs tonight and the public is invited to attend and enjoy the delicious refreshments which will be served at the social. The social will be held at the corner of Fourth and Madison streets and th e famous City Band will be there to render music for the occasion. Invite your friends and everybody come. One of the many Sunday dinners which occurred yesterday was the one given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Baker at Monroeville, Ind., to a jolly crowd of young people. Upon their arrival the guests were served an elegant dinner after which they proceeded to the Blakey picnic grounds and enjoyed themselves in the woods. Those who attended were Misses Dorothy Schultz, Anna Baker, Ruth Patterson, Josephine Schumacker, Emma Schultz and Vera Radamacker and Messrs. Leo Meyers, Wm.. Helm and John Schultz. They all are loud in their praises for the fine time they had. When J. A. Smith and family returned from church yesterday morning they were greatly surprised to find their house occupied and the table heavily loaded wih all the bounties of the season. Upon further investigation the occupants were found to be Mr. Smith’s sisters and their families. After Mr. Smith found that the occasion was in honor of his birthday and had gained consciousness, dinner was served, to which all did justice. The afternoon was spent in music and a social time and all returned home ■wishing many more such happy returns of the occasion. Those present were: Mrs. Rosa Lincoln and family of Fort Wayne; Mr. D. A. Helm and family, J H. Helm and family, Sam Helm and wife, Forrest Light and family, Rev. D. O. Wise, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith and daughter Vernia. A jolly crowd of ladies and gentlemen consisting of Misses Lilah Ladhot, Bessie Baumgartner, Pearl Purdy and Ruth Ernst, and Messrs. Carl Moses, Frank Bremerkamp, Herbert Lachot and Clyde Baumgartner enjoyed themselves at Maple Grov e Pa-k Saturday evening. They were served a picnic supper which was delicious in the extreme, and at a late hour they returned, all reporting a fine time. The Ladies’ Missionary society of te Presbyterian church will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the church.

A marriage license was issued to Earl Reber, aged twenty, a farmer and Margaret Hirschy, aged sixteen, both of this county. The county board of Review have practically completed their duties and will close their thirty day session tomorrow. The ratals showing the fig. ures from each township as returned by the board have not been entered on the records yet. A bill of sale from the Chicago and Indiana Oil company of the District of Columbia to the Geneva Supply company, Homer Pontius, sole owner, has been filed at the county recorders office, the consideration being SIO,OOO. By its terms eleven leases for oil properties from Millie Bebenmeyer, William Spicker, Samuel W. Smith, John A. Depew. Mary C. Wilson, Michael McGriff. C. C. Leichty, Albert Pontius, William Shoemaker and Charles D. Porter, all located in the south part of Adams county are conveyed. The bill of sale was given June 25th, 1908. A movement is on foot to obtain admission to the Newcastle Epileptic instituion for Clay Peterson of the south part of the city, who has been a sufferer from epilepsy for many years. It is the opinion of interested parties, that this young fnan {will be admitted in due time for his subjection to the dread disease is of the nature which the state institution is prepared to successfully treat. The Indiana Village for Epileptics is growing more popular with the passing of each day. The news of the successful, scientific treatment of unfortunate individuals has propagated throughout the country to the extent that inquiries reach the hoard X>f managers frequently from far off states asking admission thereto. This institution is located on a picturesque spot in southern Indiana. It is beautiful in its construction and wonderful in its treatment. The clever manner in which the place is conducted has already reflected much credit upon the legislative body of 1905, who passed the measure which authorized its existence. There are at least one dozen epileptics in Adams county who are eligible to enter the Newcastle institution and that the necessary procedure to enter them immediately is the proper thing to do is conceded by all for the patients will be better taken care of and scientific treatment which will enlarge their mental capacities and fit them for a responsible life will be administered. No parent should neglect sending their children so afflicted to the Indiana village for the epileptics as their destiny may hinge upon an action of this nature.

Decatur is to have an artificial gas plant. This fact is assured now, but exact tim e and other interesting deails will not be made public for a few days, for the very good reason that they have not been fully determined upon. At the present time there are two plans at work. The Deitriek company, who have operated the natural gas system here and at various other places over the state are arranging to install such a plant, and we are reliably informed that same should be in operation her e by October Ist or about that time, the date depending on whether rhe company decides to erect a separate plant here or to build one at Fort Wayne large enough to supply that city. Decatur and Bluffton. If this is done, pipe lines will have to be laid, requiring considerable time. That they intend to install such a system is assured, however, by orders received at the local office, in fact severtl of the old lines have just been repaired with that purpose in view and during the past week the company expended S2OO to put the north Sixth line in good condition under the new brick street. The company’s manager here, G. Christen, said Monday morning that they did not care what became of the case in the Jay county court, concerning the rights to use natural ga s from the Bryant field as from reports the production could only be used during the summer, scarcely being strong enough in pressure to bother with. He stated that in his opinion artificial gas would be furnished to Decatur people by autumn. During the past few days Messrs. Hugh Keegan and G. A. Bears, of Fort Wayne, have made several trips he-e and have informed the city officials that they will appear at the council meeting on Tuesday evening, July 7th and ask for a franchise for artificial ga s lines in Decatur, announcing that if proper arrangements can be made they will establish a plant here at once. Investigating on this line we learn that they are also considering the purchase of the oid mains and with these two forces actually down to business it seems certain that the housewife, who desires to use gas for fuel will have the opportunity in the near future. Mr. Keegan is a prominent Fort Wayne attorney and Mr. Bears is a capitalist of that city. Definite news of this new Improvement should be at hand within the next ten days.
