No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which impairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “ doesn’t feel just right,” when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despondent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a mao should use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEHLTH AND STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY. You can’t afford to accept a Merit nostrum as a substitute for this non* alcoholic medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent dealer . may thereby make a little bigger profit.

Fire broke out about 11:30 o’clock j Saturday at the D. D. Coffee home on ’ Mercer avenue ana before it could be gotten control had left that beautiful structure in almost total ruins. Mrs. Coffee had been making bread during the morning and had an unusually hot fire. This so overheated* the flue that it set fire to the roof of the kitchen and it is supposed that the flue was defective. The family were seated in the dining room eating dinner and the son, Jerome, finished first,, went out and was horrified to see the flames bursting out through the roof of the kitchen at the rear. By that time the garret was in flames and the fire had eaten through the roof. In a very short time- the ceiling of the kitchen fell in. The alarm was given at once and the neighbors arriving on the scene, helped carry the household goods out, the greater part being saved. In ’the meantime both fire departments arrived and did what they could in subduing the flames. The kitchen where the fire originated is a total loss, and the roof of the main part of the house with the upstairs was badly burned, and the lower part of the house badly damaged by smoke and water. Insurance was carried on the barn, house and household goods, but the exact amount carried on the house alone is not known at this time. It will, however, not cover the loss which will run up into the thousands. The fire occurring at this time especially is a deplorable one, as Mr. Coffee has been afflicted with rheumatism for about eight weeks and has during this time been scarcely able to leave the house. He will rebuild as soon as affairs can be arranged. O 2; 1 "/■ 1 'v-'a Attorney J. C. Sutton, who has been four weeks in Saskatchewan, Canada, returned Saturday. He has decided to return to Decatur to make his home, and next Monday will resume his work as partner in the law firtn of Heller, Sutton & Heller, with whom he continued his association. When Mr. Sutton went to Canada, it was with the intention of making that place his Q home, his father-in-law having purchased a large tract of land in that region. Messrs. White and Sutton went in advance to prepare the new home and get things ready for the arrival of Mr. Sutton’s family, who in the meantime have been visiting with relatives in Ossian until, they should get ready to go to their new home. The spring is as early as it is here, the climate is the finest kind —sunshiny and balmy —and in proof of this is Mr. Sutton himself, who is much more plump and as brown as a berry—in fact he never felt or looked better. Hundreds of set- • tiers are pouring into that region and that of Alberta on the west every month and the country is rapidly settling. Mr. Sutton, however, had been engaged in the law business here for thirteen years and with all his early associations and the upbuilding of his career connected with this city, be carefully thought the matter over again and decided to return. The many friends of the family, who have been so regretful over the loss of this family from the city, will be pleased to learn that they will remain here. Mr. White returned with Mr. Sutton. —o - A sad message, the more keenly felt because of its total unexpectedness, was that received last Friday by Mrs. Floyd Smith and sister, Miss Anna McLean, stating that their brother, William, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McLean, had died this morning at the family home at Circleville, Ohio. The lad had been sick for a week or two with measles but at the last report received here by the relatives he was recovering, and the announcement received today came as a sad shock. Mrs. Smith and Miss McLean left this afternoon for Circleville. The funeral will be held Monday morning at 9 o’clock. . — —o- ——— J. S. Lower went to Wort Wayne this morning to call on his son, Homer, at the Lutheran hospital. Homer is now able to sit up and will come home in a week or ten days. Mr. Lower will also call on B. P. Harkless at the Hope hospital in Fort Wayne.

Miss Jessie Dickerson, who resides j two miles south of here, received a telegram from New Lisbon, Ohio, Tuesday morning announcing that* a serious accident had befallen her brother, Chace Dickenson, who was at work in the railroad machine shops there. Miss Dickenson left at once to be at bls bedside, but it has since been learned that Mr. Dickenson had died before his sister’s arrival. Mr. Dickenson was quite well known in and around tylonroe and was a young man of sterling qualities. He leaves a family to mourn their loss. Monroe has now an up-to-date dental parlor, which is fitted up in good shape over the Hocker drug store and will be conducted by Dr. R. G. Knossos Berne, who will be at Monroe for the present every Tuesday and Friday mornings of each week, when : he will attend to all dental work en trusted to his care. ( - Several more of our young men left Monday for Dunkirk, where they ; have accepted positions at the glass i factory. A large force of men are working a short distance south of here taking up the old gas line pipes. A new organization in Monroe is “The Jolly Boys’ Quartet," which is composed of C. L. Hendricks, first tenor; Melvin Noff singer, second tenor; Robert Shirk, first bass; 0. V. Graham, second bass. They render some of the latest music and give promise of gaining quite a reputation as singers. They already have en gagements booked, which will keep them busy until the latter part of the. summer. They open their season April 15th, when they will sing at Yorktown, Ind., at the Goly Grail meeting to be held there. Mrs. ’Joseph Johnson is quite sick with neuralgia of the stomach. Dr. M. F. Parrish, accompanied by Will Mitchell, who resides a short distance east of here, left this morning for Fort Wayne, where the latter is taking treatment for his eyes, which are badly afflicted. John Wolf, who lives on the Sanders farm, three miles west of here, went to Wapakoneta, Ohio, where he is taking treatment for appendicitis. C. F. True was in town Friday morning, looking after life insurance business. Work has commenced on the new store building to be erected by Lichty Bros. & Co., and when completed will be quite an addition to their, already large store room. James Hurst and a force of brick layers are busy erecting a large kiln on the Lewellen tile yards. The mill is now running on full time to supply -the demand. O'-" — An Important matter was ,disposed of in circuit court Saturday morning, when after a legal battle, in which various motions were ruled upon by the court; and arguments pro and con, made before the issues were complete the petition of Henry F. Linn and others, for the vacation of Market street, was submitted and granted by Judge Merryman. An appeal was immediately prayed by the remonstrators and granted to the. supreme court, sixty days being granted for filing the bill of exceptions. The matter is of Interest to the citizens of Decatur. Years ago Market stre'et was laid out for the purpose of some time having a public market there. It has never been used for that purpose, however, and for some years the owners of property of Mercer avenue have been trying to secure the vacation of a portion of Market street which would thus give them a full lot on that street in addition to the ones they own on Mercer avenue. Every effort along this line has been defeated when it came before the city council. On March 9th Attorney D. B. Erwin filed a petition in circuit court. No opposition was made until April 9th, just a month later, when a remonstrance, signed by Henry Krick and seventy-five other citizens, was filed. When this canto up in court, however, the judge ruled that they were too late, as the law requires that such a notice filed within ten days. The petitioners for the vacation of the street are H. F. Linn, F; V. Mills, Victoria Hill, Ada H. Simcoke, B. J. Smith, administrator, Presbyterian church, W. H. Lee. The decision of the higher . court will now be awaited with interest. ■'.* o ■ Among those who left on the 11:30 ■ car for Fort Wayne, where theywill r attend the production of "The Music > Master" at the Majestic theater, were - Oscar Hoffman, Misses Fanny and - Mary Hite, Anna Yager, Rose Chrlst ten, Mrs. A. X Smith and Mrs. Dolly Durkin.,

The official M.t of the c.n.ii. .numerators has finally been given forth, Including the list for this county, they being: William J. Edwards, Emma’ C. Yake, Noah A. Pusey, Amos D. Buckmaster, .. Lewie Yake, Claude Daugherty, Homer D,. Osterman, hfartln Scheuler, William D. Evans, Albert F. Chronister, Mary E. Brodbeck, Isaac N. Teeter, Frank F. Gregg, Charles B. Poling, Homer Raudenbush, Free Frisinger, Harvey D. Rice and Harry Fritzinger. In al Ithere are 172 enumerators for the Eighth district, all of whom begin work a week from today, Friday, April 15th to take their respective portions of the census of the United States for 1910. There are several' women enumerators in the list, two in Adams county, two in Madison, two in Delaware and one in Wells. In taking this thirteenth census the entire country is divided into supervisor’s districts, such districts usually being the congressional districts. Each of these districts is under the direct charge of a supervisor. The Eighth congressional district of Indiana is known as the Eighth Indiana census district, of which J. Riley Broyles of Muncie is supervisor. The district is the largest in Indiana and probably in the United States. In 1900 it showed an enumeration of 246,000, and for 1910 it is estimated that the population will be at least 300,000. This district has been divided by Supervisor Broyles into one hundred and seventy-two enumeration districts, which means that that number of persons will be engaged in taking the census of the district. The enumeration districts are divided by counties, as follows: Adams, 18; Delaware, 39; Jay, 26; Madison, 45: Randolph, 24; Wells, 20. The list of enumerators has been approved by the director of the census, each one having passed a competitive examination to secure the place. To give final Instructions to the enumerators, Supervisor Broyles has called meetings for the various counties. At these meetings the details of the actual work will be considered. The meetings will be held in the public libraries except at Winchester, where the commissioners’ court room will be used. The schedule follows: Delaware county, April 8, Muncie, 7. p. m.; Adams, April 9, Decatur, 9 a. m.; Wells, April 9, Bluffton, 2 p. m.; Randolph county, April 11, Winchester, 10 a. m.; Jay, April 11, Portland, 3 p. m.; Madison county, April 12, north part at Alexandria, 10 a. m.; south part at Anderson, 2 p. m. In towns’ of 5,000 or more population the work must be completed within fifteen days from April 15th. In smaller towns and the agricultural districts the time allowed is thirty days. The director of the census has sent oi|t to the farming communities advance schedules for farms, which the land owners have been asked to fill out and have ready for the enumerator when he calls. — ——■—-• TRIP THROUGH SOUTHWEST. .

Bluffton, Ind., April 8-(Bpecial to Dally Democrat)—The M. E. conference for 1911 will be held at Kokomo. I That city won out easily in the contest at 11:30 this morning. Elkhart and Huntington also asked for the honor, the former receiving 27 votes and the latter 20, while Kokomo received the rest. The choice was made unanimous by motion. The dedication of the Chopson home at Warren Thursday was a big event, attend ed by fifteen hundred people from all over the state. Mrs. Chopson was present at the event, together with a number of her relatives. After the address *by Bishop McDowell the home was formally dedicated by Bishop Cranston. The • crowd returned here on the evening cars. After the ceremony a collection was asked for the maintenance of the home and about SI,OOO was raised. Three donations of SIOO were Included, and among these was that of Mr. and Mrs. John Niblick of Decatur. When the conference convened at 8:30 this morning the church was packed, the aisles being filled and every foot of space occupied. The city Is filled with guests, a larger number of laymen than usually at the conference being here. The hotels cannot accommodate them and an appeal has been made that the homes of the city be opened. In bis half-hour talk this morning Bisnop Cranston took rap at the professional emotional evangelist. He said that but little good came to the hip-hurrah service and about all that was usually done was to interest the warm-overs or back-sliders. However, he does be- i lieve that some revivals are necessary to make’ people think, but the real way to reach God is to spend, a halfhour each day in prayer. District reports were then taken up. When the report of Superintendent Naftzger of the Muncie district, who retires after twelve years’ service, was finished he was presented with a beautiful gold watch from his minis ters. After the report of the Fort Wayne district was completed Rev. Wade was presented with a largesized roll of cash from his pastors. Bishop Cranston paid Rev. Wade hlgn tribute, saying he was one of the superintendents whom the bishops often heard of. It has been tipped off that the conference will not adjourn until a very late hour Monday evening. Business that should have been disposed of today has been .postponed until Monday afternoon, so that the noon adjournment is out of the question. Bishop Hoss of Atlanta, in the southern conference, arrived today and will address the Conference tnls evening. ‘ _ ■ — -o — The prohibition party of Indiana walked boldly into the democratic camp Thursday at the “prohi” state convention and deliberately stole Governor Marshall’s idea of selecting a candidate for senator at the convention and as a result Felix McWhirter was named for that high office to battle against Albert J. Beveridge for votes. In a platform adopted they say: “Believing that the beverage liquor traffic is evil and only evil, we are unalterably opposed to any plan that provides a possibility for its legal continuance; therefore we declare for the immediate prohibition of the liquor traffic in the. state and nation by statuatory enactment to be followed by constitutional amendment. “The republican party, in its state convention, haying evaded the temperance issue in its platform, has for felted its right to tlrn support of the temperance voters or the state, and, believing that no relief can be expected from the democratic party, a vote for the prohibition party* is, therefore, the' only way a citizen can express his hostility to the liquor traffic and divorce himself from complicky c wlth this evil.” The ticket chosen follows: Secretary of State—George W. Hitz, Indianapolis. Auditor of State—lk - . J. O. Morrison, Anderson. State Treasurer —S. M. Thompson, Shelbyville. . ’ Attorney General —Charles S. Holler, South Bend. Superintendent of Public Instruction —Walter S. Smith, Arlington. State Geoliogist—Charles Hill, West Terre Haute. Clerk of Supreme Court —Emery A. ( Richardson, Oakland City. Chief of Bureau of Statistics—Ali bert Stanley, Indianapolis. 1 o— G. A. R. RECEIVES NEW MEMBERS The G. A.

The five • thus again entering the order were , Alex Debolt, Sylvester Spangler, Perry Elzey, Tom Mallonee and William Drummond. o ; — .
