* ' 7 •’ ; -7W?jirAwWLTW>’ “—— - 2No Man is Stronger e Than His Stomach & Shi A strong man is strong ftll over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease vB of the stomach and its associated*organs, which im- ■* Eairs digestion and nutrition.,. For when the stomach i 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 despoqgt* •nt, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Sach • man should use Dr. PitKe's Golden Medical i i Discovery. It cares diseases of the stomach and other organs of.diaostion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEWtH HND STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY. You can’t afford to accept ■ Htrit nostrum as a substitute for this Mm* •looholic medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent „ may thereby make a little bigger profit.

Four people were injured, two quite seriously, in a runaway accident, which occurred near the Trout farm just south of town about 4 o’clock Wednesday evening. John W. Ruth and daughter, Miss Hilda, arrived on the 4 o’clock traction car from Halstead, Kans., for a visit with relatives at Berne, Mr. Ruth being the father of Mrs. David Weldy and Mrs. Rev. Kleiwer. ' Arriving here they secured a livefy rig and with Mr. Weldy, who had cojne here to meet them, and with diaries Hammond as driver, started to Berne m a surrey. Just south of town 'they passed a carriage automobile and the horses jumped. When they did so the tugs became loosened and the horses started to run. Mr. Ruth jumped out, Expecting to catch the horses before they got a start, but he was too late, and they plunged on with the others in the carriage. After tearing along a quarter of a mile the neckyoke came loose, allowing the tongue to drop to the ground and the rig was overturned, spilling the occupants out. Mr. Weldy escaped with slight bruises, but the i others were not so lucky. Miss Ruth was rendered unconscious and remained so‘until she arrived at Berne two hours later. She received a number of terrible cuts and bruises on the face and head, the worst being a deep gash just over the right eye ■ and near the temple. She was brought to the office of Dr. Miller here and after being cared tor was taken to Berne in an auto, Fred Braun of Berne being. summoned for the purpose. Charles Hammond, the driver, was also quite seriously hurt, being bruised and cut in various places, and receiving an ugly gash across the back of the neck, besides several scratches about the face and bruises on the body. He is confined to his home today, but will probably be all right in a few days. A telephone message from Berne next morning said that Miss Ruth had considerable fever, today and is quite sick from the shock and the bruises, having passed a very' restles night However, it is believed she wi.i recover without serious consequences. Mr. Weldy said the driver of the carriage auto was in no way to blame for the accident. The carriage was badly demolished. The horses were unhurt and were caught a short way down the »road. lin'imhirn.iii.

If some energetic hustler who wants to become famous in this locality would just take hold, call a meeting, he would find the people in a good frame of mind for this event, willing to help in any bld way possible. There are many ways in which to celebrate and we should wake up and give the chance to the eagle to tear loose as we did in the old days. If we do it, let’s do it right and if we are going to do it, right now is the time to begin. An industrial parade, an airship flight, ball games, the reading of the Declaration of Independence, flreworks, races; why there are n- thousand things that could be made the big liner on the bill. There are many of , the younger generation of Decatur who have never witnessed a real observation of this glorious holiday and if we don’t give ’em one pretty soon they may lose out in-pa-triotism. What say you? , —o —s—. Miss Ada Jackson, who is visiting with" relatives in Reading, Pa., sent a picture to her father, Will Jackson, which he prizes most highly. It Is of a mineral spring in one of the beautiful parks there and which is but a short distance from where she is staying. I • •-?. - * .'me. - i*-*.

»•' A quiet wedding was solemnized • Wednesday evening at 6 o’clock at the Van Camp home on First street, when Miss Ida Eugenia Van Camp became the bride of Loyal Scott Woods. In the absence of the bride’s pastor, the Rev. D. O. Wise, of tne Evangelical church,/the grooms pastor, the Rev. Sharpe of Wren, Ohio, officiated. The wedding was a most happy one, though quiet, only the immediate rel- ' atives of both parties being present. The party included the sisters and the mother of the bride and the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William R. Woodland his Bister, Mrs. Louis Murphy, and husband and babe. After the ceremony and after felicitations had been extended to the newly married cpuple, a dinner was served. The table was beautiful with its decorations of white carnations and ferns, and ' the dinner, which was a very dainty r one, was served tn three courses, i- Mr. and Mrs. Woods, left this morn--1 Ing for a trip through the west, after f which they will be at home in this i- city. The groom is a well known i young business man of the best quail--3 ties and is highly esteemed. He was ■- formerly a bookkeeper with Hooper 1 & Lenhart, but for some time has . been with the- Schlickman & Girod 8 restaurant. The bride is a daughter of the late A. Van Camp and is known to all as a very charming young lady r of many sweet and lovable qualities, i The wedding had been originally - set for June 15th, but as this was t known oly to the immediate family, t and as the young people decided to r change the date, this was done and 1 the wedding held Wednesday. The r announcement, will, no doubt, come 1 as a surprise to their many friends, , who nevertheless hasten to extend 3 their best wishes and congratulations. — o- — Fire at about 8 o’clock this mornr ing did several hundred dollars’ worth . of damage to the Krick-Tyndall & > Company’s tile plant, located in the , southwest part of the city. The blaze ' started in the fan room, a building . about forty feet square and located ■ just north of the main plant. It is • occupied by two large engines and a > fan so arranged as to draw the heat , from the kinls and distribute it to the > dry rooms, to hurry alpng the drying of the tile. It is believed that the. fire was caused from a hot box on the ■ fan. The fire was one of the sneaki ing kind that are difficult to fight, i creeping up along the roof and’hiding I' beneath the rubberqld roof cover, re- • quiring an hour or two to manage. In the building are located two large engines, the fan and about eleven i thousand feet of coll wire, the entire ■ contents being valued at about five i or six thousand dollars. The machinery was not damaged greatly and while Mr. Krick said it was impossible to give exact figures, it is thought ; that the loss will not exceed a few , hundred dollars. There was no Ini' surance on this building. Washington, May s—Representatives—Representative Adair of the Eighth Indiana district, believes the senators and representatives receive entirely too much money for mileage allowance, and, accordingly, fie introduced a bill in the house . yesterday cutting down the amount . from twenty cents to two cents a mile. "The present rate of mileage allowed members of congress,” said Mr. Adair, in discussing the subject, “was established long before I became a member, and I am not surprised to near it rbierred to as the mileage graft There might have been some excuse for it one hundred years ago, but there is absolutely none at this time, and it should be immediately abolished. The bill I have introduced reduces the mileage allowed senators and representatives from twenty cents to two cents a ffijle, which will cover railroad transportation from any part of the United States to Washington. There is no reason why the government should pay for beds and meals of members while on their way to the capital or in their return home. This expense should be paid out of their salaries. So far as I am concerned I would be willing to see the mileage allowance done away with entirely, but members living in the extreme west think that would be unfair, as they have so much farther to travel and receive [ the same salary as those who live near the capital. I shall not only In- ’ sist on the pasage of my bill, but 1 shall also insist on the passage of the ’ bin introduced by Representative Ed- ’ wards of Georgia, reducing the salary ' of members -of congress to $5,000 a year. In other words, I am in favor of ( putting It back where It was before ; the raise several years ago. Govern- ' ment expenditures should be reduced all along the line, and if we are going to convince the country we mean busless, we must clean our Own dooryard ; first." The bill went to the committee t on mileage, where Representative , Cox’s bill Is resting. f —o —— Elgin Scott, wno has been absent t from the city for a number of weeks, i returned home from Mendon, Ohio,

i After a lingering Illness of nearly ea year Mrs. Maria Musson of Chamn patgn, 111., died at the home of he» e daughter, Mrs. Dr. Boyers Wednesday n afternoon at 3:20 o’clock. Her death e was caused from what is known as 1 the hardening of the blood vessels, \ thia, with her extreme age of I. eighty-nine years, was the cause of i, her demise. For* the past, twenty I- years it has been her custom to . spend every other winter here with e her daughter and so last fall, while s Mrs. Boyers was visiting with friends - in Jacksonville, 111., and also at Cham- ■ paign, she accompanied her to this » city. For some time she haa been in f declining hedlth and all medical skill 1 was unable to benefit her. Four - weeks ago she became bedfast and b grew gradually worse until death rei lieved her. She had been unconscious r for the last three days and her dea<i 1 was hourly efpected. She was born - in New Hampshire, later coming to r Champaign, where she has since been s making her home. She was a lady of i many good qualities and a devout - worker in the Presbyterian church. 3 She was known here by a large circle r of friends, with whom she became acJ quainted during her stay here, and 1 was beloved by all. She leaves six r children, who are Mrs. Dr. Boyers of i this city; Mrs. George Luckey of Linr coin, Neb.; Mrs. H. L. Townley; Fran- • cis of Seattle, Wash.; Frank and Fred ' of Champaign, and one stepson, Wil- > lard, of Oklahoma. Short funeral serv- , ices were held at the home this morn- > ing, with ilev. ShermaA Powell in I charge, and the remains were taken s over the G. R. &I. to her home where j the obsequies will probably be held , Saturday. I ■ -o— ——— New York, N. Y„ May-fi—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Nervous people • need no longer stand in fear of being i swept off the earth by Halley’s comet. : Professor Harold Jacoby, the astrono- > mpr at Columbia University, and who ! knows whereof he speaks, declares to- ( day that the comet is not up to specil ficatlons, its tail is harmless and that i it will not come closer than fifty mll- • lion miles to the earth. i Christiana, Norway, May s—(Spec- ; lal to Daily Democrat) —Colonel I. Roosevelt and King Haakon have i made a tremendous hit with each oth- - er. Roosevelt is greatly impressed , with the king and the two spent much ' of the time in the palace nursery ■ with Prince Olas, who is a grandson of King Edward. The entertainment i of Roosevelt is free from formalities. l This Is a holiday here, all the stores > being closed. A dozen girls are selling small silk American flags on the streets, the proceeds to go to charity. This afternoon the colonel deliveres his spech before the Nobel Prise com- : mlttee. '■'Ca. ■ i ■ ■, I- - ■■ Miss Grace Miller, daughter of Mrs. L. C. Miller, who has been visiting for a week or more at her home here, will leave Friday for New York City, where she will sing in opera and at the same time continue her studies. Miss Miller has two offers, one with an operatic company during the summer, and another in permanent opera, but she is undecided which to accept and the visit to New York is to determine this. Miss Miller is ohe of Decatur's truly musical personages, possessing the artistic temperament in the highest degree, and all her friends predict for her a career of the brightest. While her success thus far seems very brilliant to her friends here, Miss Miller, with characteristic modesty deems it little — in fact so great is that which she .would like to do, she said, in an inter: view this mornin, that what she has realized seems little in comparison with that of her ideals, and that. It is only a foundation, a stepping-stone of experience that may lead on to the height of her ambition. Miss Miller, from childhood, has made the study of music her absorbing ambition. She served at one time as musical instructor in the Decatur high school and then went to Chicago and other cities where her work and her opportunities for study with the best instruction and advancement went hand In hand. For the" past several months she aas' been making a tour of the southwest, the Itinerary including Texas, Oklahoma and rfot Springs, Arkansas, under the auspices of an entertainment bureau, aiid prior to that with a readsr'of much excellence, made tours of the country, where tbteir entertainments were received with much favor. About two. years ago, it will be remembered by those Who were privileged to hear her, Miss Miller, as vocalist, with her assistant, as reader, gave an entertainment, “An Evening With Tennyson,” In this city, one of the most truly sympathetic and artistic recitals ever given here. Those who heard her at that time ’ ktere able to note the wonderful ■ development of her talent, and to career,of the possibilities of her future career, which she is working out, i step by step, with the patience, the! i zeal of the real artist, never satisfied with attainment, but constantly grow-1 Ing upward with the advance of’ Ch-*. J - ’

r I ideals. Miss MHef has had J work t wards her heart’s desire and their best t wishes go with her. ‘ .-U-. e ■ > RETURN FRGM SOUTHWEST. » Coverdale and Wife Have Extendi ed Visit in Marion, Ark. j Dr. and Mrs. J.

ZIMMERMAN CASE DISMISSED. * ■ ■' 1Tfie case of the State vs. George Zimmerman has been dismissed by request of the officers who caused his arrest, because dt lack of evidence. It seems that this part of the affair should have been investigated before the man was placed in the toils of the law. The case was to have been tried Wednesday, but when the hour came and Mr, Zimmerman appeared ready for the proceedings he was informed that the case had been dismissed. J i v ■ .... ~1,1.11,, I !■».. ./ A KENTUCKY < .1- *-4; SONALITY IN VERSE With the publication of a book of poems, Miss Julia Stockton Dinsmore' adds her name to the list of those who In Advanced years have made their first contribution to literature. “Verses and Sonnets,” published by Doubleday, Page & Company, reflect to a marked degree the life and personality of this remarkable woman, now In her seventy-eighth year. She has from childhood lived In intimate touch with nature, spending the larger part of her life out of doors. To her love for and knowledge of nature is added a love for and thorough knowledge of all that is choicest iq literature. This is the happy combination which her lyrics reveal. She is a true daughter of the South, her birthplace being her father’s plantation in Louisiana. When she was still a child her father, Colonel Dinsmore, moved to Boone county, Kentucky. The house that he then built, sixty years ago, has remained ever since his daughter’s home. Her father, although a slaveholder, remained loyal to the federal government during the Civil war. Miss Dinsmore’s sympathies, however, have alwaysbeen southern. Since her father’s death in 1872,Miss Dinsmore has personally, without superintendent or other assistance, except farm hands and tenantfarmers of her own selection, cultivated a considerable body of land, raising all the crops to which the soil of rioithern Kentucky is suited, Chiefly corn and tobacco, at the same time bredlng and raising all kinds of livestock, from horses and cattle to pigs and chickens. She has always beeh an expert horsewoman and even now is constantly in the saddle. One day not long ago she spent ten hours in the saddle superintending the repair of a “line fence.” Her evenings find her Alone beside a student’s lamp, but with the ever-suffleient society of her books. She is devoted especially to English verse and French fiction, reading the latter always in the original. "Verses and Soiinets’’ include practically everything that she has ever written. Some of the poems contained in this book were originally published in a New Orleans paper, the remainder are now published for the first time. Many of the poems I have been written as recently as I within the test two years. Miss DinsI more did practically no writing tfll ’past nruetn year. .’
