Remedies are Needed Were we perfect, which we are not, medicines would not often be needed. But since our systems have become weakened, impaired and broken down through indiscretions which have gone on from the early ages, tKmK ■ through countless generations, remedies are needed to aid Nature in correcting our inherited and otherwise —2M acquired weaknesses. To reach the seat of stomach weakness and consequent digestive troubles, there is U nothing so good as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov* " 1 ery, a glyceric compound, extracted from native medio inal roots—sold for over forty years with great satisfaction to all users. For Weak Stomach, Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Pain in the Stomach after eating. Heartbum, Bad Breath, Belching of food, Chronic Diarrhea and other Intestinal Derangements, the “Discovery” is a time-proven and most efficient remedy. The genuine has on its _ Z 0 rvx-J'V rx oa ‘ s,d^SS^ r a ° You can’t afford to accept a secret nostrum as .a substitute for this non-alco-holic, medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent dealer may thereby make a little bigger profit. .

They were met here by a large number of relatives, lodge brothers and friends who escorted them to the family residence on First street. Today the gloom cast over our city by the death of this esteemed man, continues. It seems impossible that one so useful, so widely beloved, and in only middle age should be taken away. His death occurred at the St. Elizabeth hospital at 12:30 Monday morning. During the preceding twenty-four hours he had been unconscious, the pains which had racked his body for weeks, gradually subsiding until death claim, ed him. About the bedside were grouped the faithful wife, the children and others, whose ever effort to prolong the life had been fruitless. Con. earning his life there is but little to add to what has been told. He was born near Mfeysville, in Allen eounty, January 13, 1860, and was forty-nine years, nine months and five days old. He had lived in this city about twenty years and was known all over the county as well What the (public sag about ©urTeasVCofleesisaU W advertising we want.

The Berne empaign for town officers is now on. The Democrats named their candidates some time ago, they being Chauncey Lautzenhizer for clerk, Fred Bentz for treasurer apd William Tucker for marshal, and for councilmen . Phillip Schug, Fred Wfechter and Fred Eichenberger.

G; Broughton, Rev. John F. Bockman and Samuel Lehman. The contest has not assumed a very serious phase so far and the excitement will probably not be of very large proportions in the two weeks* campaign. o ——- Hartford City, Ind., Oct 19.—flpeak. Ing tor his client William R. Krauss, Attorney Bruns stated this evening that the divorce suit recently filed by Mr. Krauss would not be dropped as a result of the sensational charges made by Mrs. Rae Krauss in the cross-complaint filed by her attorney, but that it would be pushed vigorously and would be granted at the earliest possible moment. Mr. Krauss, he says, considers the claims of his wife’s attorney as a bluff, pure and simple, and invites an investigation of his actions before or after the murder of his daughter, the same to be conducted by Mr. Hindman or any other who may desire to do so. Mr. Krauss, he says, insists and demands that the present grand jury make a thorough investigation of the charges made by Mrs. Krauss in her crosscomplaint, down to the minutest detail, as he wants a complete exoneration and is opposed to there being any grounds left for suspicion. Mr. Krauss says he does not believe»that Mrs. Krauss will have the cqurage to return to this city and take the witness stand to swear to the story which her attorney claims to be true, but which is branded as a fabric of lies by the accused man and his attorneys. The attorneys for Mr. Krauss state that he is amply prepared to prove that Mrs. Krauss is the murderess of his daughter and that he is prepped to prove that the insinuations cast upon him are false. Mr. Bums states that not only are the charges made in the cross-com-plait false, but that Jay A. Hindman, who prepared and filed the crosscomplaint, is aware that they are false. Mr. Krauss expects to secure a divorce and to be fully exonerated of having any part in the murder of his only daughter. — o Washington, Oct 19.—Death’s invasion of the thinning ranks of war veterans caused 48,312 names to be dropped from the pension rolls last year. Os this number 32,831 were survivors of the civil war. The total loss to the pension roll from all causes was 51,581. The government paid out in pensions in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, $161,973,703, which is the largest amount disbursed for pensions in one year. The report shows these facts: Number of pensioners at the beginning of year, 951,687; number of -pensioners added to roll, 46,088; pensioners on roll at close of year, 946,194, a net decrease of 5,493. Survivors of civil war on roll, 593,961. Commissioner Warner explains that the increase was due principally to the large number of pensioners placed on the roll under the act of Feb. 6, 1907, granting sl2, sls and S2O to survivors of the war with Mexico and the civil war, on reaching the ages of 62, 70 and 75 respectfully. The increase is also,due in part to pensions granted under the act of April 19, 1908, to widows, without rega.rd to their pecuniary condition, and to the increase from $8 to sl2 a month of certain widows, minor children and helpless minors. The pensions of 202,577 widows, minor children and helpless minors were increased by this act. O —r- — Fifty years ago Tuesday, in the Methodist church at Mutual, Ohio, occurred the wedding of Miss Lucy A.

Large rubber manufacturing houses take a naw way |o explain to the consumer of rubben goods that although the price of rubber is now much more expensive than it was fifteen years ago, yet to the farmer who Is the largest consumer it is really cheaper. Here Is the method the rubber man explains his problem. In 1897 a first class duck quality pair of boots cost the merchant $2.24 and retailed at $3.00. Now this same pair of boots which cost three dollars fifteen years ago and today five dollars Is actuaUy cheaper than It was then. In September of that year of 1897 he received 26 cents a bushel for com, 18 cents for oats and barrelled pork sold at 3% cenjs a pound. So he would have to sell 11% bushels of 1 corn or 16 2-3 bushels of oats or 75 lbs of pork. Now In September of this year the price he received for hls ccfn, oats and pork he can buy this $5.00 pair of boots for 8 bushels of corn or 8 bushels of oats OF 40 lbs. of pork. Fifteen years ago rubber was as low as it ever was, but at the same time ttie farmer was receiving very low prices for his grain. But today he is receiving good prices for his goods and eta better hfford to purchase a five dollar pair of boots than he could a three dollar pair fifteen years ago. > —__o —; — PUTTING GAB AT VILLA NORTH Jack Moynihan, erstwhile of this city, but who .now claims Decatur as his temporary residence, came to this city today to arran’ge for connecting Villa North with gas. The lines have been ,lald as far as the suburb and now arrangements are being made by the gas company to give the people living there gas. A service line will be laid along the road, Which will be connected with the main pipe in the center. There will be a two Inch regulator on the pipe running from the main line. The fact that the company Is not in this city yet will give the people of Villa North the benefit of all the gas they want. Tpe connections will be made within a few days.—Bluffton Banner. - — NOTICE POULTRY RAIBERB Alonzo Thropp, Mt.
