I Internal Catarrh. Mr. John N. Watkins, 3138 Shenandoah Ave., St. Louis, Mo., writes: “Among all the greatly advertised medicines for kidney and bladder trouble there is nothing which equals Peruna. I suffered for several years with this trouble, spent hundreds of dollars on doctors and medicine and all to no purpose, until I took Peruna. “One bottle did me more good than all the others put together, as they only poisoned my system. Peruna cured me. I used it for four months before a complete cure was accomplished, but am truly grateful to you. The least I can do in return is to acknowledge the merits of Peruna.” Icines Should Buy Peruna Tablets

The farm belonging to Sol Linn located a short distance south of the city, was visited by fire Monday afternoon and much damage was sustained before the roaring flames could be checked. More than sixty rods of fence, together with two rows of corn shocks, were consumed axd excitement wag at a high tension. Ail of the neighbors and passersby assisted in extinguishing the conflagration and after three hours of consistent work, the Are was under control. The flames swept over three fields rendering much damage in its swep and Mr. Linn is thankful that so much aid was at hand and the buildings were all saved. The origin is unknown. A field on west Adams street caught fire this noon and the fire laddies hastened to the scene, throwing volumes of water upon the burning grass Luckily all of the surrounding buildings were saved. A spark from a railroad engine is supposed to be accountable for the blaze. —o Several short change artists were at work in the city Saturday night, the last night of the festival, but as far as it is known no one was hit by the men. Visits were paid to nearly all of the stands and the men attempted to short change the people running the stands, by handing out a $2 bill and then telling them they had the right change, asking to get back part of the money. The graft, as far as i s known, did not work, however. The stands run by the women of the city, were the principal victims, but theßluffton women had been doing business all week and were not to be caught napping at the old graft. Bluffton Banner.

Just as long, as you have catarrh your nose will itch, your breath will be foul, you will hawk and spit, and you will do other disgusting things because you can't help yourself. The germs of catarrh have got in their power; they are continually and persistently digging into and irritating the mucous membrance of your nose and throat. They are now making your life miserable; in time they will sap your entire system of its energy its strength, its vigor and vitality. But there is one remedy that will kill the germs and cure catarrh, and that is Hyomei, the Australian dry air treatment. Holt house Drug Co. will guarantee Hyomei to cure catarrh, or money back.

The injured girl is doing as well as, can be expected and it thought that she will fully recover in time. The operation which was performed to remove a portion of a broken bone from her skull was quite successful and now the family is hcpeful for the ultimate recovery of the girl. Mrs. Mylott will return to Chicago in the very near future. She has engaged attorney Bartie of that place to make a thorough examination of the accident and in the event that the wreck occurred responsive to negligence of the railroad employes it is quite likely that a, damage suit will follow. It is quite evident that the engineers were wholly responsible for the mishap as they were both trying to reach the crossing place first The Decatur friends of Miss Genevieve are glad to hear of her improved condition. —o We omitted the name of John Wemhoff who is attending college at Collegeville, Ind., in the list of students who are attending college in yesterday’s issue.

John M. Frisinger, one of the hustling members of the firm of Frisinger & Sprunger is due to arrive; today from New York, where he has Ke -n since last Saturday, enroute home from Europe where he has been since early summer, buying draft herses for the well known firm. The horses, twenty-nine head cf as fine looking and acting drafts as ever crossed the ocean, are already here, having been brought in by Eli Sprunger, Mr. Frisinger remaining in New York to attend to the red tape business necessary in the importing business, the signing up of various statements, receipts, etc. The firm now have on hands about fifty head of Belgium stallions and mares and colts and for several months will be very busy disposing of same. They have a number of customers waiting on the ar rival of these animals and quite a number will change ownership within a few weeks. The firm have gained a reputation of handling only first class animals and every customer has been a pleased one, this accounting for their rapid and continual success in the importing business.

> The discussion of a change in the ■ system for charging for the use of 1 the water from the city plant, is causing a great amount of discussion and several citizens who have recently In- > vested in meters become very indignant when the subject is mentioned. There is no reason for this. The council will do nothing that is not absolutely fair to every one. The proposition seems to be a fair and square and simple one. Decatur owns the water plant; this means that every tax payer in the city has an interest therein and must support same and if a deficit is shown must make it up. Ir sems but right that the consumers of water pay for the operation of the plant. This is what the council will try to figure out, the best and most equitable plan to do that. The old flat rate did net work, because the people used more water than they paid for. The meter system don’t work because the people don’t use enough water to make the plant self sustaining. The result will probably be a new rate whereby a minimum meter rate is established, sufficient to cover the expense of operating the plant. This must be done er plant closed down or disposed of. The matter has been referred to a committee who will report at the next meeting of the council. It looks as though some plan should be devised that will be satisfactory and whereby the consumer can . secure his water at cost. More than this they certainly should not ask. However, the citizens of Decatur need . feel no alarm for they will be treated ■ fairly and the council are simply work- j ing for your good and the welfare of the city. It’s easy to give advice, but < let’s do it In a friendly manner and every one will be healthier and wealthier. —c ————— Mrs. Henry Bauman left for Aber- < deen, S.
