—- Two hundred and twenty Adams ’ county pupils took the examination for county diplomas Saturday, thus making a showing for the public sohools of thp county that is. Hard to equal. As distributed amongthe'toWftshops there were 5 from Union, 13 from Root, 6 from Preble, 6 from Kirkland, 15 from Washington, 11 from St Marys, 8 from Blue Creek, 15 from Wabash, 11 from Jefferson,' ■i from Decatur, 18 from Berne, and 13 from Geneva. Two other such exam- & Inations will be held, one at Geneva on April 16th, and the other in this city on May 21st. Those who pass this examination will be given a diploma of admission to any high school in the state, and should the other examinations be attended like the one Saturday it will mean that the county commencement this year will be a record breaker, and will show that the education of the American youth in this county is receiving the attention that it deserves. Both the County Superintendent and Mrs. L. E. Opllger were busy and in charge of the examinations, and doubtless the next few weeks will be anxious ones for those who are waiting to hear the result of their efforts. —o THE SAME STORY FROM FOUR DIRECTIONS Many People Are Getting on the Right Track. From the Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette: "Four people came to Fort Wayne yesterday from different directions, met at the same point, and told practically the same story regarding the great medicine, Root Juice. The gentleman from Van Wert, Ohio, said: ‘Root Juice has been going lots of good in Van Wert the last six months, and the people of my town think there never was a medicine like it Frank Poroff, the druggist, who has the agency, said it is a pleasure to sell Root Juice, as we never have to listen to complaints, on the contrary, many who buy one bottle soon return Cor more, and persuade their friendb to try it. It is certainly a great tonic and has done wonders for many who have suffered years with chronic stomach and kidney troubles.’ The man from Columbia City said: ‘lt don’t make much difference where you go, you are sure to hear some one talking about Root Juice. Hundreds of people of my town have tried the remedy, and I haven’t heard a single complaint It certainly must be a great medicine, or so many people wouldn’t be praising it so highly.’ An old lady ; from Bluffton said: ‘lf you want to hear talk about Root Juice, go to Bluffton. I tell you our people are crazy about it. I heard Mr. Gutelius, our local druggist, say he never saw anything like it in his whole life. He Sbfcj u & to said he had sold nearly 2,000 bottles of Root Juice within the past four months, and the people still coming for it, in crowds, and none were complaining, but nearly every one praised it, and told of some remarkable good it was doing.’ The gentleman from Kendallville said: ‘Don’t tell me anything about Root Juice. If you want to hear about the wonderful cures this medicine is making, go to my town and call on O. P. Raber. He has sold the remedy to hundreds of people and has heard them praising it for several months.”’ Such talk is very common , these days at this many local pec pie who have tried the remedy are praising it to their friends and neighbors, and seem to have unlimited confidence in its merits. Much can be learned regarding this remedy at the Holthouse drug store. —:—* o • ■ — The board of commissioners were in session Thursday and let the contract for five road drags, they to be delivered at once. The Berne Supply company landed the contract, the contract price being $lO5, the other two bidders being E. F. Clausinger E and W. JI. Davis. It is the intention ■ to have two of the drags delivered to ■y the third road district, two to the second and one to the first, and as soon as they are delivered they will be put | to working and before the ground setties too much it is expected to have ® all the macadam roads in the county Y improved. It has been a long, hard T . winter on the roads and much work “Will now be done to save and proj;. long their life of usefulness. This was the only work that came before the board, and no other sessions are probable until they meet on April 4th. H Taxpayers are not falling over V themselves in the payment of the spring installment of taxes, although but six weeks remain in which to make such payment. The treasurer’s office is prepared to wait on all comers and it is likely that they will soon Ji be busy. | Children Cry FIR FLETCHER’S CASTO R I A

s Washington, D. C, March 21— i (Special to Dally Democrat)—Having b shaken off the Jade that followed the c explosion in the house Saturday, mem- » bars of congress set about laying “ plans today to meet the conditiohs 1 created by the new rules. Big nien - among the regulars brought into i Cannon’s office a call for the caucus, > at which the six republicans will be ) selected for the rules' committee. 1 Champ Clark, the democratic leader, ; was also getting a few ideas about the v democratis. caucus, which will select 5 four members. The Cannonites can ! select the members and it is a serious - question as to what they shall give 1 the insurgents. There is a probability r that the insurgents may become diss satisfied an<J might, with their demo- - cratic friends, turn down the republli can caucus clique and elect suitable t members. The insurgents only ask i that a committee that will represent - republican sentiment in the house and - give a fair chance to all be chosen. —— o - — » At the Albert Heyerly sale held at t his place on last Friday fortytwo • brood sows brought the munificent - sum of >2,297.73, or an average of nearly fifty-five a head.

one or tne very aeugntrul informal dinners was that given Thursday ' noon by Mrs. Catherine Champer and ' Mrs. John Niblick at the Niblick ■ home. Plates were laid for twelve ■ at the table in the dining room, which 1 was very pretty in its decorations in h honor of St. Patrick’s day. A brass ' dish in which grew dainty £erns, sur- ■ rounded with green Irish flags, adorn--1 ad the center of the table, and at each plate lay a green carnation, which ■ were worn by the ladles during the ' afternoon. Places were found by St. Patrick postcards, lying at the plates, addressed one to each guest. Each postcard was different and represented the various customs, features and traditions of Erin. Accompanying each postcard was a humorous Irish anecdote and these witticisms were read aloud between the courses of the four-course dinner that was served. Good cheer reigned and lengthened the dinner hour, until 2 o’clock, after which the ladies busied themselves with their sewing. Guests were Mesdames Victoria Hill, 'Rout, Schlrmeyer, Dorwln, Dugan, J. C. Patterson, Robert Case, W. J. Meyers, Sherman Powell, DeVilbiss and A. R. Bell. About forty-five ladies of the Helping Hand and Aid societies of the German Reformed church found conveyance in busses and carriages to the home of Mrs. Herman Sellemeyer, south of the city, Thursday, where taey were royally entertained by that lady, asssisted by her daughters, Mrs. N. E. Vltz of Defiance, Ohio, and Miss Matilda Sellemeyer. The collection was quite a good one, the harvest being |8.50 from the Aid and $2.50 from the Helping Hand. The Aid planned to hold a birthday, social March 30th, at the home of Mrs. C. Vogt, each attendant to bring a penny for each year of his life. After the business period a social time was spent and a luncheon was served. St. Patrick’s day was quite universally observed by the wearing of the green. The Presbyterian Woman’s Missionary society is getting out its year book for the ensuing year, which opens April Ist. The society this year will make a study of “The Upward Path,” treating of freedmen. The meetings each month will be carried out along this line, with special features, among them being the music, which will include the negro melodies an dthose characteristic of the freedmen’s race. Miss Naomi Miller entertained the Invincible club girls Thursday evening at her West Votaw street home. The affair was given as a miscellaneous shower for Miss Hilda Tudor, whose marriage will be one of the events of the spring season. All the appointments of .the affair were in keeping with St Patrick’s day.—Portland Sun. On next Thursday evening at the home of, Miss Blanch Jeffers on Tenth street a social will be given for the benefit of the United Brethren church. It is hoped by the pastor and other members of the congregation that a goodly number will be in attendance. All are invited to come and bring a friend. The Baptisct church Aid society wlh give an Easter supper at Pleasant Mills Saturday evening, March 26th, money received therefrom to be used in repairing the Baptist churdl. A cordial welcome to all. The Y. P. C. E. society of the United Brethren church has made arrangements for an Easter social to be given Thursday evening at the home of Miss Blanche Jeffries. Everybody is given a cordial invitation to attend. The confirmation services at the German Reformed church Sunday were very impressive and beautiful. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with carnations and the spring flowers. Willie Nyffeler and Abraham Gerber were the two tn the confirmation class; Mlss Frances Dugan writes from Vassar that she will spend her Easter vacation week, which begins Friday, with school mates at their home in New York city. A SAFEGUARD TO CHILDREN. ‘‘Our two children of six ana eight years have oeen since Infancy subject to colds and croup. About three years ago I started to use Foney’s Honey and Tar, and it has never failed to preven tand cure these troubles. It Is the only medicine I can get the children to take without a row.” The above from W. C. Ornstein, Green Bay, Wls., duplicates the experience of thousands of other users of Foley’s Honey and Tar. The Holthouse Drug Co. — I II Mr. and jlirs. E. G. Spade of Willshire changed cars here on their way to Portland, where they were the guests of friends over Sunday.
