Catarrh of Ears. Mrs. G. W. Heard, Hempstead, Texas, ■writes in regard to her son Carl: “My son’s ears had been affected since he was a baby. He seemed to have risings in his head. He would be very fretful for several days, then his ears would run profusely what appeared to be corruption. “The last year I thought he had almost lost his hearing and had a local physician treating him for about six weeks.

The big day of the campaign for the Republicans of Adams county will be or. Saturday, October 24th, if present plans carry out. At 11:15 on that date according to present plans, Hon. William H. Taft will arrive in this city and will deliver a short talk. While the arrangements are not compete, it is believed that Mr. Taft will arrive over the G. R. & I. in aspecail train and will talk to those who gather to hear him. The local leaders have not made any positive plans and will net until it is assured that the distinguished visitor will be here. However, Mr. Litterer, the secretary, says that the event will be well advertised and that every effort will be made to secure a big crowd. The letter which conveyed the information to the local committee follows: Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 12. Ferd L. Litterer, Secy., Decatur. Ind.: It is about determined that the Taft special will pass through Decatur. It will be there at 11:15, October 24. The schedule is worked out tentatively and as prepared takes the train through that city. It is in the hands of the railroad officials and it may develop that the schedule wlil have to be changed because of impossible connections. However, this is not likely and while we cannot positively say that be will be with you, yet I think it is safe to make an announcement that he will probably be there on that day and at that hour. In a day or two we will wire you concluding arrangements. WILL 11. HAY, Chairman Speakers’ Bureau. Mr. Taft is a distinguished citizen having served as secretary of war, judge advocate of the Philippine Islands and held other responsible positions, beside being the present candidate for the presidency on the Republican ticket and his appearance here will no doubt mean the gathering of a large crowd. o — Capt. F. F. Boltz was a visitor in Decatur yesterday. He went to see R K. Allison, an aged resident of that city who is seriously ill. Mr. Allison was unable to receive any one at his bedside and the attendants thought that he could live but a few days at best Mr. Allison is the father of Mrs. Harry Deam, of this city. She is in Decatur at his bedside now. —Bluffton Banner.

He pronounced him well and for a few weeks he was not troubled, but since that time the discharge from his ears was almost constant and very offensive. “Finally I began giving him Peruna and Lacupia, and after he had taken two bottles of the Lacupia he was entirely cured. “I cannot praise Lacupia and Peruna enough.”

By Nellie M. Ellingham. Our next stop was at Letbridge, a thriving little town where we saw much of interest and took an automo- ' bile ride of the hair raising variety. ' At this place the longest and highest . bridge in the world is now being built by the railway company. It is now < necessary for the road to twist and < turn m many directions to get across . the Old Man river. This bridge, a mile long and over 800 feet high, built at < the cost of 11.000,000, will make a direct way across. The land arcund Lethbridge is adapted to raising spring and winter wheat. The government land office is here. The town was full of people, the next morning at ten c clock homesteads were to be allotted. When we arrived at about three in the afternoon the line was already beginning to form. They , t< id us those people would stand there , until the doors were opened next . morning. It seemed hard but when I one meets man after man who three and four years ago came to this country with nothing and now owns a gcod home and farm has plenty for himself and family and a nest egg for old age, it seemed worth while after all. Medicine Hat, Kipling’s "town that was born lucky.” This is one cf the towns the Record-Herald writer took occasion to laugh at because of their j pride in what Rudyard Kipling had ' said about them. To us who have lived in the natural gas region Kip-' ling’s remark that “this part of the 1 country seems to have all Hell for a ' basement, and the trap door appears i to be in Medicine Hat,” he described ' the condition exactly. As I wandered along on the depot platform alone a man came up to me, of course my badge was an introduction to a mem- ■ ber of the reception committee, and pointing to the gas lights burning brightly in broad daylight said “see how well Medicine Hat is lighted.” I shook my head sadly and said yes, I come from a gas region down in Indiana, where we wasted gas just as you are doing, and we wish now we had it. I know how we used to love to astonish visitors with our flowing gas wells, and I should have remembered, advice unasked is seldom heeded. The man never said another word to me. He thought I failed to appreciate what he show’ed me, when in fact I had been recently, by force cf circumstances, made to appreciate it more than he possibly can at present. It looks as if this city, with an excellent farming and ranching country to • draw from and natural gas in great 1 quantities, might have such a future ' as many of cur Indiana towns. 1 At 19:30 we were atMooseJaw. Here 1 we visited a magnificent SBO,OOO Methodist church, uninvited, but we took ' possession., One of our number played ' the grand pipe organ, the minister and ■ board of directors who happened to be 1 at the church took great pride in show- ’ ing us the building. We went from 1 here to a recepticn and band concert 1 at the city hall. We found out that ’ this, a grain” raising country 1 and prosperous city of eight thousand. In the morning we were at Indian Head, a thriving little town in cne of • the best grain growing districts of the northwest. There are thirteen grain elevators here for handling products o' the surrounding country. We were ' especially interested in the experimental farm at this place. All kinds cf small fruits, vegetables and grains were growing and doing remarkably well. The flowers were exquisite. Everywhere in Canada flowers and vines grow well. The sweet peas were larger than ours grow; the dahlias were most beautiful. All kinds of old fashioned flowers that used to grow in our grandmothers garden were here. To our regret a Kodac picture of a great bunch of the different varieties, was a failure. These experimental farms are found all through Canada. We visited others, but the cne at Indian Head was the most complete. We arrived in Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan at 12:30, Sept. 2. A committee of citizens met us and escorted us to the city hall, a very fine structure recently erected. Along with others cf our party I tried to figure out their system of taxation in this country. It seemed so very satisfactory to the people, the Regina rate is 15 mills on the dollar, but it ; was utterly beyond me. However, I am sure I understood how they make public improvements in Regina with■out. taxing the people. A certain amount cf land was given to the city by the government to be held for pubI lie purposes. The money for build--1 ing the city hall and doing other public work is obtained from the sale of the lots into which this ground has been divided. After a luncheon at the Kings Hotel, we were taken in carriages and automobiles for a drive in and around the city. We visited the government house, where we paid our respects to Lieutenant Governor Forget the king’s representative. Mrs. Forget told us there were only two other white women in this locality when she came. In the conservatory connected with the house there was a most beautiful collection of begonias. Our next visit was to the headquar-

ters of the Northwest Mounted Police. Recruits are received and trained at this place. The horses used by the men are very fine and perfectly trained The N. W. Mounted Police is conceded to be the most effective organization of its kind in the world A certain man is detailed to do police duty in a certain secton. He rides over his territory twice a week, so that he knows it perfectly, better than any one else possibly can. Every part of the country is covered in this way. If a crime is committed in a Reality, the force is immediately notified. Knowing the country as police do, it is practically impossible for a man to escape The men are armed like scldiers, but have also the authority to act as constables. The officers are empowered to serve as magistrates. When any person is caught doing anything which is considered a minor offense he is brought before an officer and sentenced. At every police headquarters is a prison, where the guilty serve out their sentences. Tact and ; instil e in dealing with the Indians i and half breeds as well as other class-; es have made the force very effective. ! The rebel leader, Louis Riel, was ! hanged at this place. Tne colonel gave each cf us buttons such as are used on the uniforms of the N. W. M. I ; P On our return to Regina we learni ed many things of interest concerning I jits municipal government. Regina [owns and operates all public utilities, as most Canadian towms do. It is the best paved city in western Canada. school buildings, churches and homes prove its wonderful prosperity. The government is erecting a new building here to cost $1,500,000. There are also several railroads which ' make it a distributing point. Regina is one of the best towns we visited. (To be continued.) Chicago, October 13.—W. J. Bryan’s first day’s special train trip in Indiana will be made on October 20. The details and route will be worked out in a day or two. Mr. Bryan is to ' speak here the night before he goes ; into Indiana. The Indications now are that the second day in Indiana will be October 30. National Chairman Norman E. Mack announced today that ■ j the Democratic national campaign i contributions will be published Thurs- ’ day. He will mail the Chicago state- : ment to Treasurer Herman Ridder to- . morrow —the total up to date is ap- - proximately $225,000. After Thursi day subscriptions will be printed daily. : Chairman Mack said today that the ■ list of contributors of SIOO or more can all be put into a half column in > the ordinary newspaper, while the en- - tire list would fill a page. This shows : the character of the funds with which I the Democratic campaign is being 1 made. The Democratic national com- > mittee today is sending out Samuel - Gomper’s final appeal to labor. It is i a four-page document printed on Amt erican Federation of Labor sttaionery. : In its Gompers reviews the situation ’ and says that “labor does not become . partisan to a political party but pari tisan to a principle.” He closes with f this appeal: “And now, fellow-work--1 men and friends of human liberty, lai bcr calls upon you to be true to youri selves and to each other, to stand

faithfully by our friends and elect them, oppose and defeat our enemies, whether they be candidates for president, for congress cr other offices, whether executive, legislative or judicial.” The Gompers circular sent out today is addressed to "Man of Labor and Lovers cf Human Liberty.” Mr. Gompers says that the Republican party and its candidates stand for further extending into this country a despotic government, vested in the judiciary, and that the Democratic party and its candidate stand for government .by law, vested in the people. “The judiciary,” he says, “induced by corporations and trusts, and protected by the Republican party, is, step by step, destroying government by law and substituting government by judges who determine what, in their opinion, is wrong, what is eivdence, who is guilty and what the punishment shall be. This revolution is depriving the workers of their rights as citizens and will inevitably be made applicable to the business men later. This virus and poison has, in several instances entered on the legislative field by making laws which may be enforced by equity precess. Despotic power, under the ermine, is as dangerous as despotic power under the crown.” The circular refers to Judge Taft as “the originator and specific champion cf discretionary government,” and Mr. Gompers reiterates that “there is no political office in the gift of the American people, elective or appointive, that I would, under any circumstances, accept.”

WOOL-PLATED CLOTHES

A counterfeit gold-plated dollar looks good—for a little while. But when the gold wears ofF the fraud shows through. Same way about wool-plated clothing. A good deal of clothing is made of shoddy material—wool on the outside, cotton on the inside. That’s woolplating—but you don’t want it.

Holthouse, Schulte & Co.

Bluffton, Ind., Oct. 13, 1908.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Sheriff Lipkey, cf this county left this morning for Richmond, where he will take in charge John Terrell, who will be returned here to await further action ot the court. Just what move will be made by the states attorneys is net known, but Terrell will probably have to go through a seige in court again.

I Richmond, Ind., Oct. 12.—The fact > . became known at noon today that John ■ |W. Terrell, who has been confined in • j the Eastern Insane hospital this city, -I has been discharged by Dr. Samuel t|E Smith, medical superintendent of II the hospital, and the clerk of the -1 Wells county court at Bluffton has - been so notified. Terrell is the most -1 famous inmate that has ever been confined in the Eastern Indiana hospital. - | Seve years ago he was arrested, tried . and convicted in Wells county on the 3 charge of murdering his son-in-law, a Melvin Wolfe, having wrecked ven--1 geance on Wolfe because of alleged 1- family troubles. Terrell was sentenced s to prison for life. His defense was 1 insanity, but the jury held that Ter- ? rell was not insane at the time of the - killing, though it evidently had some 1 faith in the defense that Terrell had 3 become a mental wreck since the - j crime. The instructions to the jury, . j however, precluded any recognition 1’ of the defendant's condition at the ! time of the trial, unless it could be • shown he was in the same condition 1 when the shooting took place. The sheriff of Wells county took ■ Terrell to Michigan City prison, and - then Governor Durbin interfered, orI dering Terrell to be placed in the Eas- : tern Indiana hospital. For five years , there was never a gleam of intelli- ■ gence from the eye of John Terrell. With stolid indifference to all his surroundings the man sat in a hospital ward and attempts to even engage him in conversation were fruitless. Something more than a year ago the correspondent of the News here ascertained from Dr. Smith that Terrell had begun showing signs of improvement and this fact published in the News reopened the case in the newspapers in northern Indiana, and it was reported that should Terrell be discharged as cured be would be immediately rearrested and re-tried. It was held at that time, however, by some attorneys that Terrell, in the event of his discharge as cured, would have to be taken back to the Michigan City prison to begin his lifetime imprisonment. Nothing was heard of the case until today, when the announcement by Dr. Smith that Terrell had been discharg ed and was subject to the order of the clerk of the court of 'Wells county, created a sensation. “Is Terrell completely cured?” was asked of Dr. Smith by the News correspondent. “I can simply say,” replied Dr. Smith, “that his condition at this time does not warrant his confinement in this institution.” — 0 — Henry Warrum who speaks here next Tuesday evening is one of the most capable men of Indiana, and he will explain and convince those who will listen to him.

It looks ail right in the store—takes an expert to tell the difference between it and the better kind. But if you get a wool-plated—or an imitation wool-suit or overcoat, you’ll know the difference all right, but then it’s too late. Better be sure than sorry.

O. H. Hanson, of Buffalo, N. Y., a representative of one of the largest poultry concerns in the United States was in the city Tuesday and after a lengthy conference with the proprietors of the Decatur Produce company, ht secured a contract from them which calls for the packing of from 50,000 to 100,000 pounds of poultry to be exported to England. This is a recognition well deserved as this company has one of the best equipped establishments in this part of the country and the goods shipped therefrom are perfectly wholesome. The produce company will begin within two weeks to fulfill this obligation and a fence of at least forty people will be given immediate employment. Eastern buyers of poultry end eggs are all placing bids for the cutput of the Decatur concern, realizing the superiority in quality. During the summer season, the produce company has done a good business. The market for eggs has been gcod, however, and as a consequence they have less than 1,000 cases on hands, while poultry has been sold as readily. The busy season is just approaching and the management is preparing for it. —- c — Boys in Markle fixed up a game on Frank Carger of that town a few days ago and had all kinds of fun at his expense. Knowing that Carger is one who cares not to meet a stranger in the dark unless the stranger presents a card at a distance, the young fellows fixed up a dummy and set it near Carger’s home. They then made a noise to attract th eman’s attention and he opened the door and let the light fall on the object, Carger is said to have walked out to a safe distance from the dummy and said “How’re you.” Strange to say the dummy was silent. Carger then pulled his gun and fired two shots through the dummy’s hat while the young fellows in hiding near the place laughed till their sides nearly split— Bluffton Banner.
