Fountainville, Pa., Feb. 16,1902. S. B. Hartman, M. D. Bear Sir: I have been thinking of writing to yon for some time to let you know what Peruna did for me. lam 57 years old. I lost my health about six <rr seven years ago. I first had dyspepsia and employed different doctors. Last year I injured oneof my kidneys. I had one of the best doctors for that. He put me to bed, not to move for two weeks. 1 slowly recovered, but was so weak and prostrated that I could walk but a short distance. In fact I had to keep quiet. . 1 took several remedies, but obtained no relief. 1 also had catarrh in same form. My wife advised me to take Peruna, and it is with pleasure that I can say that by taking one and one-half bottle of your Peruna, it cured me and I feel all right. I send this with many thanks to you, as I enjoy life again. My wife has also been taking your Peruna for asthma and it helps to relieve her. We keep your Peruna in the house constantly. Again I say I thank you for Peruna. Sincerely yours, PHILIP KRATZ. Fountainville, Pa., Nov. 9,1903. Dr. S. B. Hartman. Dear Sir: I have good health now and your valuable medicine gave me good health. I have had no doctor for some ACKER IS A BIG FOE. Scarlet Will Attempt to Stop Big Half Back of St. Louis University. Crawfordsville, .Ind., .Oct. .20. — "Watch out for Acker." This will he the cry of the Wabash college men when they line up in battle against St. Louis university at S. Louis next Saturday. Jack Hargrave, Wabash’s quarter back, who was delegated to the St. Louis-Arkansas game last Saturday, emphasized this statement in his talk to the members of the squad. Acker is given credit for being one if the greatest half backs who ever donned a football suit in the west, and, if Wabash can keep this St. Louis giant from getting clear, it is believde that it will have a fighting chance to lower the colors of the blue and whte again this year. o_ CHANGES HALLOWEEN DATE Kokomo Mayor Makes Holiday Friday Instead of Saturday. Kokomo, Ind.. Oct. 20.—Mayor W. H. Arnett, by official proclamation, has designated Halloween for Oct. 30, instead if Oct. 31, which falls upon Saturday night, the desire being to afford business men and clerks the opportunI ity of participating in jollification. The mayor announced the strict enforcement of the curfew law Saturday night and thise preceding it, save Friday night. An hour will be fixed for wmoving masks. —— The Eastern Star will hold its regular meeting Friday evening. All members are urged to he present. The St. Marys Catholic church was scene of a pretty wedding yesterday morning at 8:30' o’clock when Miss Lena, the eldest daughter of Catherine Eiting became the bride of Mr. John Reitz, of Briant, Ind. Rev. Reitz, a brother of the groom from Ohio, officiated and read tne nuptial mass, assisted lyy Rev. H. Theo. Walkens. Promptly upon the stated time, the strains of Mendelsohn announced the approach cf the bridal party. The bride looked very pretty in her bridal sown of white Persian lawn, and a white satin and laced trimmed hat, with white uncurled plumes. The maid of honor, Miss Lizzie Eiting, a sister of the bride, was likewise —- o

time, as 1 do not need any. When I take cold I take Peruna and in a short time lam all right. My wife is subject to asthma. She takes Peruna at that time, and she has had no need for a doctor for some time. With many thanks for your medicine, we remain, Sincerely yours, PHILIP KRATZ. Fountainville, Pa., April 16,1906. Dr. S. B. Hartman. Dear Sir: We have Peruna in the house all the time and when we think we need it, we take it. We are about sixty years old and have not called a doctor to our place for some years. M e go out in all kinds of weather and sometimes when we go on a trip we take Peruna along. A preventive is better than a cure. That has been our experience. I had poor health some years ago and when I found your medicine I hit the right thing. We both thank you for your good medicine. Sincerely yours, PHILIP KRATZ. Witness to Signatures. 1, John Donnelly, Mayor oi Doylestown, Pa., have been acquainted with Mr. Philip Kratz for 25 years. I know him to be an honorable and useful citizen. He, in my presence, signed the above statements concerning Peruna, which I have every reason to believe are true in all particulars. signed. JOHN DONNELLY, Esq.

attired. The groomsman was Philip Reitz, a brother of the groom. Immediately after the ceremony the couple were escorted to the home of the bride’s mother, south of town, where a sumptuous dinner was served to the immediate friends and relatives ot the contracting parties. They left this afternoon on an extended trip through Ohio, returning in about two weeks, and will be at home to their many friends at the home of the bride’s mother, Mr. Reitz to manage the farm. They were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents. The Ladies’ Aid Society of the First Presbyterian church will meet Thursday afternoon with Mrs. J. S. Coverdale. at the home on south Third street. The market will be conducted at this meeting. The entertainment given by the Columbian Club Tuesday night at their club rooms was the most brilliant society event of the season. The ladies in their dainty gowns and the gentlemen in their full dress suits made a very attractive appearance. The grand march, which started promptly at 9:30 was led by William Berling of this city and Miss Orah Rainier, of Fort Wayne. About eighty couples participated. The hall had been beautifully decorated with cut flowers. Many cut of town guests were present from Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Peru and Huntington. The affair was a decided success and every one present voted the boys royal entertainers. Excellent music was furnished.

FRANCE TIRES OF SCANDAL. Anti-Dreyfus Campaign Against Decision Comdemned by Deputies. Paris. Oct. 20.—8 y a vote of 438 to 47 the Chamber of Deputies today condemned the campaign the antiDreyfusards are conducting against the decision in the case of Maj. Dreyfus, handed down in the Court of Cassation in 1906. Pierre Biestry, member from Finisterre, led the assault and caused a violent scene. He was suspended temporarily. Minister of Justice Briand said the country was sick ot this scandal and those who were trying to reopen it were making themselves ridiculous. One of the wagons of nitroglycerin, belonging to Albert Oppenheim, formerly of this city, was blown up last week near the factory at Marietta, O„ and the horses and wagon with the man, blown to atoms.—Bluffton Banner. A bus ride was enjoyed last evening by several members of the Y. L. E. Club. They all had a merry time.

Just why Decatur people persist in smoking foreign cigars no one has undertaken to explain. During the course of the past few days we have had conversations with business men w ho s< 11 cigars, and they have promsed their unswerving support to the local manufacturers and it seems that every business man of the city would feel it a sense of duty to fall jn line, i The merchants go a step too fa r in | venting their spleen when they insist [that they are deserving of the sup- : port of the local people when at the I same time they are smoking and advoI eating the sale of foreign brands. Is i it to be understood that these merchants think that foreign brands are the best? To think this would be absurd, an acknowledgment of inconsistency and we venture that no plausible reason can be advanced. As we have stated before, the big manufacturers buy their tobacco from the same firms, the same kind of tobacco and the only difference which can possibly be noted is in the drugging of the goods. Decatur people should awaken to their duty, and wc have now’ a most appropriate stage setting upon which to ring up the curtain and stand in the limelight as patronizers of home industry. The Standard 252, Royal Ribbon, N. H. C„ Lone Star, all home made five centers are good, enjoyable smokes and if you like a ten center, what about the Stein o r the Sether? All the local cigar manufacturers want is a square deal. They want you to try their goods, give it a fair trial and then you will join the list and be termed a real booster. .Do it today. Yeu know it is to your advantage. o_ The second production of “A Bachelor’s Honeymoon” at the Bosse last night was even better than the initial performance, and again the audience was overflowing with mirth from start to finish by the funny antics and sayings of the members of the cast. The fact is undisputed that this play was the best ever staged by local talent in the city. Jesse Helm scored a hit by singing an amusing ditty which apparently was especially written by a modern Mark Twain. The ladies and gentlemens’ choruses again did splendidly and the drills were very pretty to say the least. The emotional roll of Mr. Shamp proved very interesting as did the appearance of a live baby on the stage. Clayson Carrol being credited with having the appearance of a dutiful father. Minnie Orvis repeated her cleverness of the evening before; Miss May Holthouse played the Sally stunt to the satisfaction of all. Music by the high school orchestra assisted by Miss Bertha Kohne as pianist, added to the interest of the event. The Misses Ruth Patterson and Marie Kintz did especially well in their singing. The Pythian Sisters netted more than SIOO as a reward for their efforts and they wish in this manner to express their heartfelt thanks to the members of the cast, chorus and orchestra for their kindness in assisting them. To show their appreciation in a more substantial way they will delightfully entertain tomorrow evening at the Pythian hall in honor of all who took part. Mesdames James Bain,A. L. Burdg, Carrie Southerland and Mr. A. P. Beatty, grand officers of the Pocahontas great council left Wednesday for Indianapolis, where they will attend a two days’ session of this body to be held Thursday and Friday. Mrs. Southeriand is on the credential committee, and Mesdames Jacob Eady and Mary Keller are representatives of the local council. The above mentioned members of the Pocahontas have worked diligently for the success of their order, and the reading of their report will reveal interesting facts as to their progress. Much important business will be transacted at the Indianapolis meeting, which will affect the local order, and the Decatur parties expect to represent the local order in all discussions. Mrs. Neva Murray will accompany the party to the capital city, where a most interesting time is expected by all who will attend. | —— c — — THE CHURCH OF CHRIST REVIVAL Another Meeting of Interest—Special Music Rendered. Those who have been striving for a successful revival at the Church of Christ were again delighted with the results at the meeting Tuesday night. There were two additions to the church, and all present were convinced . by the words of the evangelist, Rev.| Crabbs. The sermon was from the text, ‘‘The Unpardonable Sin,” and tonight he will preach upon the subject "What the Church of Christ Stands for.” At the meeting last night special music was rendered by a quartet composed of Mrs. Crabbs, Miss Schroll and Messrs, Lee and Williams. Mrs. Crabbs is a sweet singer and everybody who can should attend these meetings, hear her sing and listen to the splendid sermons and the rest of the interesting program.

Don't wait until the very last minute unless you have to. A marriage license was issued to Charles F. Nyffeler, 27. a farmer of this township, to Fannie Dutcher, 26, a well known school teacher. — A license was also issued to William i E. Teeter, 26. a rural mail carrier, of Berne, and Frieda F.

Gerke, 100 acres in Root township $2,500; Florence M. Sprague to Charles W. Snyder et al, lots 354 and 355 Geneva, $2,000. cWord from Chicago conveys the news that Miss Genevieve Mylott,who was injured in a railway wreck in that city, is still in a serious condition. Developments in her case have made it necessary for another operation, the same to be perfermed in the South Side Hospital, within a few weeks. The left eye of the girl was injured in such away that in her convulsions blood and water oozed from her eye, a condition furnishing perplexities to the physicians. That she was also injured seriously, internally is evident from the fact that she has had several hemorrhages. The physical condition of the girl is very weak, necessitating a wait, prior to the operation. An examination by the attending physician not only revealed a fracture of the skull near the temple, but also disclosed that chronic appendicitis has contributed its ravages to the gloom of the wreck victim and it is for the checking of this affliction that the operation is to be performed. Miss Mylott has displayed remarkable endurance since the sad accident, and it is hoped and thought that by the use of the surgical knife danger for her recovery will be eliminated. Mrs. Thomas Mylott, of this city, mother of the girl, will go to Chicago at the time of the operation, and take care of her subsequent thereto. o EXCELLENT SERVICES Last Evening at the Evangelical Church. Rev. Metzner, of Huntington, preached. Although the audience was somewhat smaller than usual, a goed interest was shown. Rev. Metzner was at his best. He delivered one of the most forceful as well as helpful gospel sermons during the meetings. No mere enthusiastic message could be wished for and surely every sentence was convincing. He spoke from Psalm 39:7. "And now. Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.” This is the language of an awakened heart. He came to this decision by considering morality, the wickdeness of his day, brevity of life, etc. Realizing his hopeless condition, he was made to see that his only hope was in God. So many people today are waiting for a better opportunity, fo r a better feeling. for others to make a decision for Christ, but these things may never be realized. A deep religious feeling is coming upen the people and if they would /»i:?y act according to better judgment many would soon decide for Christ. There will be services this evening again at the usual hour, 7:30. Come and bring a friend with you.

BURGLARS AT GENEVA. Rob Drug Store and Hardware Concern, Geneva, Ind., Oct. 21.—(Special to the Daily Democrat)— Home talent burglars again got in their work last night. For several weeks at intervals of a week or two, various business houses have been entered and sums of from two dollars to several times that amount stolen. Last night they broke into the rear door of the Deitsch & Poor drug store, worked their way up to near the front window where they broke open the cash drawer and took about two or three dollars in change. They also entered the Kelley hardware store and stole a revolver and a few other articles. A plan is being made to catch this bold offender of the laws and give him a little trip to prison. i ; o Christian Frederick Weiland, a well known farmer of Union township, died yesterday a. m. at 9 o’clock, another victim of the dreaded white plague, consumption.

They should be. These ladies have realized a neat sum of money, which will aid materially in the building of the new Pythian home. Mrs. F.

Robison has been appointed grand chancellor for the Sixth district of the Knight sos Pythias lodge. The appointment came as a surprise yesterday from the grand chancellor. Arthur J.

The mercantile firm of Hall & Garton, of Tocsin, is still figuring on the starting of a new bank in that place, although the company has not been organized yet nor the stock sold. The fact that other towns of the county are starting banks has been an incentive to he people of Tocsin to get busy and keep the money in that vicinity. This evening the wedding of Dr. Earl Poffenberger and Miss Mayme Ftyback, both young people residing in Ossian, will take place. The ceremony will be perfermed at the home of the bride-elect's mother, and only the intimate relatives will be present.
