C. 8. Niblick, president ot the Old Adams County Bank, went to Hoagland Saturday, the occasion being the opening of the new Hoagland State bank, which threw open its doors at nine o’clock that day. The banking bouse is located in its own building, a model of all that goes to make perfection in this line. The furniture is strictly up to date and they start with every prospect of a successful future. The president of the institution Is the veteran, Dr. Smith, while Mr. Robinson, from Lexington, Kentucky, Is the cashier. The bank is capitalized at >25,000 and this stock is held by business men and farmers from that section of the country, the fact Insuring a splendld patronage, as they alone control considerable cash. Mr. Niblick will assist the officials in getting started on their work. The big Fourth of July celebration is on at Hoagland today and the new bank had many visitors as the town was crowded with sightseers. o Prof. Elmer Rice, the new superintendent left Friday night, after a session with the school board at which some of the teachers and their assignments were somewhat re-arranged. It was decided that Mr. Martin Worthman, who has been serving as principal of the west ward, shall assume charge of the eighth grade and the first year class <n algebra in the high school; Mr. John Parrish becomes principal of the north ward; Miss Lulu Lankenau takes the place made vacant by the resignation of Miss Florence Johnson at the south ward; Miss Ruby Miller succeeds Miss Ahr at the west ward; Miss Mary Miller is advanced from the seventh grade at the central to the eighth grade and Miss Tillie Sellemeyer will have the seventh grade. The other teachers will continue in the same places they occupied during the past year. The board gave the problem much careful thought, and talked the changes over with the superintendent, and they feel that they have made no mistakes.. It is their belief and hope that the next year will be the best in the history of the Decatur schools. Everyone who met Prof. Rice were pleased with him and the board has the greatest confidence in his ability to keep up the high standard of the work here, and Improve It where necessary.

HAD RELATIVES AT FORT WAYNE Nows of A. J. Peoples Death Caused a Shock There. J. C. Peoples, of the Pennsylvania planing mills, received a telegram last night, calling him to Decatur, where his father was Instantly killed yesterday afternoon. A. J. Peoples, the .unfortunate man, was employed as section hand on the Erie and was struck by an engine while at work and had one side of his head crushed in. M. W.

Baumgartner has been transferred to the possession of Thomas Teeple.who assumed control Friday morning. Mr. Foughty and company did a good business. Their deliveries were prompt, and it Was for this reason that they .enjoyed a wide patronage.

He will continue to handle coal and other supplies and will give the best of service to all his patrons.

Hatch Blackburn left last night for Lawton, Okla., after visiting his parents here and attending to business. He represents the Foley Medicine company of Chicago. I The Fourth was a damp, bad day, 'and there was much grumbling, but did you ever stop to figure that the train probably saved many thousand ' dollars’ worth of property and perhaps ' many lives? < ■ • The Fourth of July celebration at Pleasant Mills was a most enjoyable i affair. All of contests were I pulled off and a fine display of Artworks was shown to the large crowd < which had gathered.

.... i/' a* »' ■ PLgNTY.TO WORRY WARRIN --11, ■ First Incendiarism and Now Another Strange Mystery. The worry over incendiarism in Warren township has hardly subsided until another circumstance has arisen which has set the good people of that locality wondering whether their neighborhood has been the scene of a tragedy or not. About three weeks ago the people of that vicinity were unable to account for the strange actions of a Hock of turkey buzzards, about eighteen In number, as the vultures continued to circle a certain territory and otherwise carry on strangely from Veir usual custom. A day or so ago John Altman, while In the John Strobel woods one mile north and a mile and a half east of Blppus, found a bundle of clothing which Is something of a mystery to the residents of that locality. The bundle contained two pairs of overalls, one of which was new with the manufacturer’s brand of “H. & I.” stamped on them, two pairs of shoes, one pair of which was new, and a quantity of other wearing apparel. The bundle was found back in the woods quite a distance from the road and the question is how did they get therd and by whom were they left The articles were too good to have been discarded, as part of them are brand new. No indication of foul play were discovered, but it was over this tract of woods that the turkey buzzards, mention of which is made in the beginning of this story, was noted. The finding of the clothes and the strange actions of the vul-

tures Is a thing that is very mysterious to those who witnessed Ilngton News-Democrat ———o — — Mrs. Harry Daniels has returned to Pleasant Mills.

Means Rosy Cheeks, Clear Complexion, Bright Eyes and Plenty of Energy. What does rich, red blood mean? it means brains, vitality, ambition, hopefulness, persistency and everything worth living for. But you can’t have rich, red blood, if your digestion is Imperfect; and your digestion is certainly imperfect if you have sour stomach, bad taste in mouth, lump of lead after eating, belching of gas and nervous unrest. So far reaching is the effect of indigestion, that many times the eyesight is affected.

If you have indigestion or any symptom of stomach distress or agony Holthouse Drug Co. will sell you a mighty remedy for 50 cents, and guarantee it to cure or money back. The remedy is called Mi-o-na. Its powerful, reconstructive action on the stomach is little short of marvelous. It tones up, strengthens and puts new life and energy into the worn out stomach in a few days. It cures by removing the cause. If you are a sufferer, try a large 50 cent box. It’s a small price to pay for banishing indigestion. •>*-. Ml-o-na is sold by leading druggists in every town In America, and by Holthouse Drug Co. in Decatur for 50 cents a box. u ■ ■ ■■. v’■ Z - ’

(jUOCY BEAN SAVED SAILOfc Providence Placed Talisman in His Hand When He Was Thrown Un/ conscious Among Cannibals.

Os all tbe many mysterious products of the ocean, none can compare with the sea-bean. Scientists are divided as to its origin, as Ho one has ever seen the shrub or vine on which it grows, and it is never found save when the bosom of the deep has been rent by a hard storm, when the sea-beans, cast forth from some mysterious depth, are found scattered*along the beach, derelicts of the tide. There are numerous varieties, large and small, and some are very rare, especially the large liver bean, and the banded bean. The savage tribes which inhabit the South Seas regard them as almost sacred, and look upon the lucky possessor of one of the rare varieties as particularly favored by the gods. Dusky belles, having in their possession these (rare products of the deep, will fight for their treasure against all comers, as they believe that the sea-bean gives them unusual power, especially in love, and that any man on whom their affections are set, must yield to their charms if they but touch him with the lucky bean. One touch of the bean binds their lover to them forever. • < 2Mr. Leak, manager of the Stanislaus county exhibit cars from California, is the fortunate possessor of a rare specimen which has a thrilling history which wx'2£ seem to prove the superstition of th* savages of the South Sea Islands. It was given to him by a sailor friend, who was wrecked in a mighty storm which swept the tropical seas. The sailor, unconscious and nearly dead, was washed ashore on an island, and when he recovered his senses he found himself surrounded'by a crowd of savage men and women. 0 They were cannibals, and his fate would undoubtedly have been a horrible one, but suddenly a native saw grasped in the sailor’s hand, one of the rarest of the sea-beans. Where it came from and how it happened that he held it when he was cast upon the beach he never knew, but the superstitious natives looked upon him as one especially protected by the gods, and the bean proved to him a lucky one indeed for it undoubtedly saved him from a terrible fate. Some years ago Mr. Leak befriended this old sailor in San Francisco, and as a reward this lucky bean was presented to him, and he values it high•y. >*l am not superstitious,” said Mr. Leak in speaking of this bean, which he has had made into a watch charm, * * but I have hot had any vary bad luck since I was presented with the lucky bean by <hy old sailor friend Seth.”
