MARTIN, 332 Bowen Avenue, Chicago, 111., Chaplain Garflefa-Circle, wi-iva: “Peruna has been a blessing to our family for a good as we have all used itoff and on for colds and catarrh, and I have given it >j all of my children with tfc-.i best of results. “I found that a cold left me with catarrh of the head in a very bad form. My head was shopped up, I had frontal headaches, my eyes bothered me, and there was a v-.asty dropping in my throat which nauseated me and made it impossible many times Yor me to eat my breakfast. “As soon as I began to use Peruna I found it relieved me, any head soon cleared up and in a remarkably short time I was rid of catarrh. “I can, therefore, give my personal experience with your valuable medicine, and an? pleased to do so.” People wt»o prefer solid to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tablets, which .contain the medicinal ingredients <ff Peruna. • Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. G. . R. veterans here are very much interested in a contest now in progress in the national encampment. The Toledo Times cays: In a heated clash behind closed doors the executive committee for the G. A. R. encampment fought over the controversy provoked by Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood’s charges that politics played a hand in the selection of campfire speakers for the coming encampment, particularly the choosing of Gen. J. Warren Kiefer and Jas. H. Southard. The outcome of the meeting was a direct threat by one of the members of the committee that the encampment would refuse to endorse the general’s dollar-a-day pension bill, and another member would not vote for him for congressman, if he did not withdraw his charges. But Gen. Sherwood remained firm. He told the other members of the executive committee that it. was a matter of opinion and he still insisted that Gen. Kiefer and James H. Southard had been invited to speak, while he was ignored, in order to discredit the general’s work in congress. One of the committee who is also a member of the Grand Army said that the national encampment did not endorse but one bill before congress at each session, and, before congress would consider a bill for the relief of the old soldiers, it Wlvat the Jmbhc sag about cur Teas VCojfecs ts all lhe' advertising we want, Evcrij family using our Cofiee comes Back for more, and tell their neighbors about das well?

was necessary to have the endorse meat of that bill by the encampment He said >t was quite probable, be- ! cause of Gen. Sherwood’s action over the section of encampment speakers, that his dollar-a-day bill would ee ignore 1 by the national encampment Oen- I R. Sherwood saM last ntght that this was not the first time that pities had crept into the Grand Army. He recalled that, many years ago. politics nearly disrupted the •Ohio department and that it was saved from disaster by the election of Gen. James B. Steadman as commander. “And now they would attempt tbe same disrupting tactics here in Gen. Steadman’s own city,” concluded Gen. SherwooJ Geneva, Ind., Aug. 25. Rev. King spent several days near Piqua, Ohio, last week. Several of the tenting •complement from Geneva have returned home. The families of W. D. Cross and J. M. Wheeler, after spending several weeks about the lake at Rome City, came home last evening and this morning. Mrs. Robt. Brown came home last week after an outing of several weeks on the lakes in Northern Indtana. Mrs. Wig Briggs and Mas. BlakeHedges were in Portland Monday afternoon. The youthful population of Geneva genraly are lamenting the rapid approach of the opening <ff the town schools, which win occur in two weeks. Vacation has too many charms to be given up without strenuous objections. The business people of Geneva are all astir over the proposed electric railroad from Bluffton to Geneva. A sufficient sum was quickly subscribed to meet the expenses es an election in the intervening townships. Those heading the enterprise feel quite confident that the subsidy of one cent will be voted. Many of the farmers along the proposed route are eager for the completion of the read. If the required sum is provided the assurance is given out that cars will be running by the first of next January. O. E. Kemp who has taken an interest in a flouring mill and elevator in East Liberty, Ohio, will move his family to that place in a short time. Geneva will lose one of its best and useful families when these good people go away. The wife and children of C. N. Brown are spending an outing at Petoskey, Mich. Miss Blanche Hutton spent two weeks rusticating at Rome City, and came home Sunday night.

Grandpa Samuel Kunkle, the sturdy Monmouth pioneer, was eightyeight years old Tuesday, and as hale and hearty as most men twenty years his junior. He came to this city Tuesday and enjoyed dinner with his daughter, Mrs. R. S. Peterson. His health is splendid and he seems to grow younger with each succeeding year. He was Korn in York county, Pa., August 25, 1820, and when three or four years old moved with his parents to near Mansfield, Ohio,where he was reared. Wren a young man he journeyed westward ho, and landed in this county in 1846. and has since continued a citizen here. For over sixty years he has been one of the substantial and enterprising farmers of this locality and his life has been one of those happy and successful ones, which prove the benefits of right living. His anniversary today was a delight to himself, his four children, who are Mrs. R. S, Peterson, Mrs. A. R. Bell. Mrs. Florence DeVilbiss and C. D. Kunkle, all of this locality and to his many other relatives. Mr. Lyman Hart, a life long friends of Mr. Kunkle and who will celebrate his 83rd birthday next Friday, was also a guest at the Peterson home Tuesday. A long siege of asthma and heart trouble in their worst forms has culminated in the death of Mrs. Anna Mary, wife of Henry C. Fuhrman, one of Adams county's most highly respected citizens. The deceased was born in Pennsylvania seventy-four years ago, removing to Allen county wit hher parents when but a mere child. At the age of twenty-two years she was united in marriage to H. C. Fuhrman and immediaely afterward settled in Root township, where they have resided since. The aged lady became afflicted from asthma and heart trouble early this spring and has gradually declined since. Her condition became so serious that she was required to take to her bed five weeks ago and but slight hopes were entertained thereafter for her recovery, death relieving her sufferings Monday at 8:45 o'clock. Tu-j daceased was a member of the Evangelical church and a faithful worker in its behalf and her many kind deeds will be sadly missed by those with whom she came in contact. The deceased is the mother of ten living children, who are as follows: Mrs. J. W. Shifferly, of Union township: Mrs. E. M. Schnitz, Root township; Mrs. C. H. Schnitz, St. Marys township; Mrs. B. A. Winans, Stockland. Ill.; Mrs. C. H. Asbury, Stewart, Nev.; Mrs. Reuben Sprunger. Berne, and Messrs- D W. Fuhrms ll - Washington

Wise, and interment made at Maplewood cemetery W H. Flemieg, of Fort Wayne, arrived today and will act as starting* judge at the Great Northern fair. He

tea pleasant, affable gentleman, one of the best starters in the country, and is very much pleased to have been selected to work here. He called at this office this morning and said that Fort Wayne would prove that they held no grudge against Decatur and were by no means in accord with any action requiring the removal of the fair banners from the traction cars. Mr. Fleming said that his city would send by far she largest delegation of any city in this vicinity to the fair, that every horse in training on the tracks there had been entered and will start here. Tomorrow the wholesalers will come to the fair and each day will find a good crowd here from our neighboring city. W. H. Meyer, secretary of the Fort Wayne fair is acting as judge in the horse department here and is also doing all he can to bring a crowd from Allen county. Boys you’re all right and we retract any mean thing we may have said about you. The famous Packard band will be here all day Wenesday.

Indianapolis, Aug. 24. —City and town school superintendents have been reminded by State Superintendent Fassett A. Cotton that they will be expected to comply with the law passted by the'last legislature providing for the employment of music and drawing teachers in the commissioned high schools of the state. A number of high school have failed to employ music and drawing teachers because •hey had no pupils enrolled for those branches, but Mr. Cotton has reminded them that they will be expected to comply with the law whether they have pupils or not. “We cannot tell whether we will have pupils enrolled for music and drawing if there are no teachers for these branches,” said Mr. Cotton, “and we propsoe to have the teachers in readiness when the school term opens.” In the notices which have been sent out attention is called to the resolutions adopted by the state board of education, providing for the employment of these teachers, and asking the superintendents whether they have employed the teachers. There are something ov°r 300 commissioned high schools throughout the state.

Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 24. —An article appearing in the Fort Wayne JournalGazette under date of August 14 has restored to Mrs. Jessie Hyde, of Warsaw, recently of Fountain county, her son, Charles Bowman, aged fifteen years, from whom she was separated twelve years ago. When three years of age the boy was placed in the orphanage at Mishawaka. The year following Mrs. Hyde lost track of him. Early in the present month Mrs, Hyde who is in poor circumstances, appealed to the newspapers to locate her boy. The son picking up a newspaper saw the article caused to be inserted by his mother and is now in communication with her.

E. C. Leavenworth, of Grand Rapids, general freight agent; J. D. Kromer of Duluth, Minn., commercial agent and E. O. Wagoner, of Fort Wayne, commercial agent, all of the Grand (Rapids and Indiana railway, arrived this morning in a special car, on their annual visit to local shippers. They returned to Fort Wayne at eight o’clock.

Will Swartz, the French township young man, who had his throat cut by Sam Baumgartner Saturday night will recover according to his physicians, Dr. McClain, of Vera Cruz and Dr. Severn, of Bluffton, who said today that they considered him out of danger, though it was a very close call. No arrest has been made and probably will not be at present as it is said the Numenese congregation are making an effort to keep the affair out of court. Prosecutor H. B. Heller in a conversation to parties concerned was informed that Swartz would not sign an affidavit, nor will any of his people. This leaves but one course, unless the crime is allowed to go unnoticed and that, is for the grand jury to investigate and this is probably what will be done at the November session.
