fi ■ ' No Man is Stronger " Than His Stomach - A strong man is strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease W; W of the stomach and its associated organs, which im- Mr,, pairs 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 end despoqg* ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man should use Da. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of ditestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH AND STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY. You can’t effort to accept a teertt nostrum as a substitute for this nea, alcoholic medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent may thereby make a little bigger profit.

-H Not every day haa quite so pleasant an ending for the Rev. Wehmeyer, pastor o’ the Zion Lutheran church, who is also teacher for the parochial school adjoining, as that of Wednesday. After dismissing school for the afternoon he went to his home just north of the school, and was there just a short while when one of the little pupils rushed over, asking him to “come over to the school, quick.” Rev. Wehmeyer, fearing that the school was on Are, or threatened with some other such calamity, hurt fied over and found —Are, indeed, but - such as twinkled forth from a number of little, lighted tape: s on a large, fine birthday cake, one candle for each year of his life. Gathered around this were twenty-four children —whom he supposed had long since gone to their homes —all of whom called merrily to him as he entered “Surprise.” The little ones remembered that the day was his birthday anniversary and took this way of assisting to celebrate. The birthday cake was cut and served with Ice cream, pop-corn and candies, and a number of songs and recitations, given by both teacher and pupils, closing with a little speech of thanks by the pastor for tlieir kind remembrance of him. J. A. Hatchett and wife entertained a few relatives for dinner Tuesday in honor of his sister, Mrs. Sarah Turner and daughter, Miss Nettie, of St Louis.

San Francisco, Cal., June 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —With the Jef-fries-Johnson Aght a month off interest in the big battle has been increased by Governor Guiette’s statement in Chicago that the Aght is a frame-up with Jeffries picked to win. Fight fans think his information is secondhand and based on the pressure brought to bear on him by the reformers. Jeff points to his long career as proof that his Aght is not crooked. Johnson, however, can point to no such record. He has been in a number of “fake” Agnts, but says that was when he needed money for his “eats.” Now that he is fairly rich and the world’s title Is at stake, nothing could induce him to lay down. (United Press Service.) Chicago, 111., June 3 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —“If everything is ‘up and up’ I think Jack Johnson will be returned the winner,” said Battling Nelson here today of the July 4th battle. BALLOON MAY NOT GO UP. It is Held For an Attachment of Forty Plunks at Express Office. There is some doubt about the balloon ascension, scheduled for Saturday on the Teeple lot east of town, taking place. A subscription list has been circulated about town and it is said that the business men have subscribed enough money to get the attraction, but now Professor Foster’s balloon, which has arrived at one of the express offices, is being held on account of a claim against it for forty dollars, held by a Sheridan, Ohio, man. Foster, by the way, is no more or less a personage than the man who lived here several years ago and who, with his wife, had several appearances in

The family formerly • lived in Union township and. are well I known in this section. Sometime ago - they moved to Dixon,, where Mr. k.ay is the telegraph operator for the Pennsylvania railroad. The lad’s death - was the result <rf a snocLing accident J wnich cast a gloom over the entire - community. He was crossing the rail- > road tracks to see his father, when he r noticed a fast train bearing upon him. • Naturally the little fellow became ex- - cited and attempted to go tack off 1 the track. ’ln an Instant the tral i i was upon him. He was struck on , the head, the skull being fractured, > and he died three hours afterward. . The awful accident was witnessed by several people, who were, however, ’ powerless to aid the little fellow. He • was picked up and carried home, but > never regained consciousness.;- ■ - Q ; Miss Edith Porter left Satur- ■ day noon for Chanute, Kansas, where i she will join her brother, Clarence > Porter, and wife in making that place » their permanent home. A few weeks , ago Clarence opened an ice cream manufactory at Chanute and will en- , gage permanently in the manufacture . of icecream and wholesale and retail L disposal of the same. Miss Edith will asaist in the bookkeeping and other i office business for the plant. The ri. i 8. Porter family, wuo haVe oeen reals dents of this city for many years, will I go later to Chanute to join their chil- > dren and will also make that place > their home, though the exact arrangements in regard to their leaving are not, yet made. Miss Porter has served for some time as bookkeeper for ( Frislnger & Sprunger and has had other valuable experience in her line of work, which will make her a valu- ’ able assistant in the plant of her brother.

The first one i probably to be held in this city will be that at the United Brethren church next Sunday morning at 10:30 o’cock. The Rev.

The original assessment of 10 i per cent brought a wall from the can- < didates that could be heard to all cor- . ners of the state. The commitee yes--3 terday showed a willingness to reduce 1 the assessments to 7% per cent. This i proposition was considered by the cani didates in a separate meeting, after

make the amounts, it was declared, run about as follows: Secretary of state, $1,000; auditor of,state, $1,125: treasurer of state, $1,000; attorney general, $1,000; superintendent of public instruction, $500; chief dt bureau of statistics, $500; state geologist, sl,000; clerk of supreme court, $1,500; judges of supreme court, $2,400; judges of appellate court, $2,000. Yesterday’s meeting of the' state committee was the Arst of a series of meetings to be held every two weeks from now until election day. the candidates Arst met with the committee at the Denison hotel, and then left the committee in a body to discuss the assessment proposition. A sub-committee was appointed to meet a like committee after both meetings had adjourned and settle the controversy. This latter meeting was held at the headquarters ot the state committee in the Indiana Pythian building. > The state committee spent most of the afternon discussing conditions as the various district chairmen found them in their districts and arranging plans for extending the work of or ganizatibh. The appointment of Bei t Hendren of Linton as chairman of the speakers’ bureau was con Armed. Much of the discussion related to a wide-spread publicity campaign. There was universal disappointment because the democrats have no official daily organ. A publicity bureau, much more extensive in its scope than has existed in past campaigns will be a feature of the state organization. The candidates will take a hand in the organization work. At the meeting of the candidates, the state, it is said, was apportioned, each candidate taking a certain district of counties for which he will be responsible. In this way the candidates will have an organization of their own to work hand in hand with the state committee, and in this way, too, the candidates will have something to say about the manner in which their money will be spent.—lndianapolis Star. ;—i o ——- / T.

Helm left this morning for Ligonier, where they will attend the funeral of the former’s half-brother, Frank King, which took place this afternoon at the United Brethren church. . —— o— — — A telegram announcing the death of Pearl Greek was received by Mrs. Maggie Greek this morning at 3 o’clock. It stated briefly that Mr. Greek had passed away at 4:30 this morning for Denver, Colo., where he has been for the past three weeks, The word was not unexpected as last weeks’ letters were received, telling of his serious conditions. Four weeks ago Monday, with his Wife, Mr. Greek left for the west, because of his health. His destination was Colorado Springs, where he was to have been employed on the farm wdrk of the Home Life Insurance company. He was taken worse, however, when he reached Denver, and was never able to complete the journey. His death was the culmination of a long siege of sickness from lung trouble, and it brought to an end one of the most enterprising young business men of Bluffton. —Bluff ton Banner. Mr. Greek was well-known here. He formerly was a member of the’Bluffton high school athletic teams and visited here frequently. He was twentyeight years old and leaves a wife, mother and sister. The remains will arrive tomorow.

Mrs. Melbers spends her winters at the Droppieman home and has but recently returned from there. - A RED HOT WAVE IS COMING. Tegas is Sweltering With the Thermometer at 100 In the Shade. The cold wave is broken. This is no idle statement of a dreaming weather forecaster, but an actual fact for which there is reason. The principal one is that the season for mudh warmer weather than we have been having is here, another is that a hot wave has left the Gulf of Mexico and started tn this direction. Yesterday the thermometer in central Texas registered 100 in the shade|. Think of it, “Kornie!” It will likely be here in a few days and then 1 we will be wishing for a breath of this cool, pure air. ‘ ' " o- ' One of the biggest real estate deals of the season, affecting one of the handsomest and most valuable residence properties in the city, was closed this morning, transferring the handsome Barthel residence on Fourth street to the new owner, P. J. Hyland, for the sum ot $4,500. This is one of the Anest hbmes in the city, being a substantial dwelling, large, roomy, and with grounds well cultivated and improved. Since the death of Mrs. Barthel Coffee a few months ago the property has been in the hands of the Barthel heirs, who have thus found it best to dispose of it Mr. Hyland will probably take possewrion in a month or so, and Is contemplating a number of improvements, among them being the installing of a complete plumbing system, heating plant and electric lights, adding the finishing touches in the way of conveniences to an otherwise already model home.

Postponing of Cornerstone Laying of NeW Chereh Necessary. j The service Os laying the cornerstone of the new Mennopite church will hot be held Sunday, Jpne sth, as was announced, but must necessarily be postponed IndeAnltely. This news is received the members of the church with more or less regret. Quite a.bit of preparation has been made for the event. The two speakers, Revs. Shelly and Grubb, of Pennsylvania, who have planned to be here, can hardly be present at a later date to participate in the service, which fact is also to be regretted. A number of causes combine to bring about the postponement, which, as it seems now, will be of considerable length. In the Arst place, the weather has not been very favorable for the laying of this particular kind Os brick, which cannot be laid in cold, damp weather. This alone, however, would not have necessitated a delay, in the service. A second cause for delay is the fact that the contractor, Mr. Bollinger,, is experiencing some difficulty in the brick construction work. In addition to this his health has been quite poorly the past several weeks, so that he is barely able to be about to oversee the work.— Berne Witness. A number of people from here left this morning for Anderson, where they will attend a ten days’ camp meeting to be conducted by the church of God. The meetings are held every year at this place, as they have a large' pavilion there, where thousands gather from all over the United States to worship. During this time some very good discourses by ministers from different places will be given the audience, from which a great amount of'spiritual good will be derived. The services will begin this evening. Those who went from here were Mr. and Mrs. William Sheler, Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Nye and daughter, Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Troutman, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Strickler and children and Mr. and Mrs. Ani drew Roop and children. “Pop” Anson, idol of Chicago base , baU fans tor a generation, has lost ail ; of the $306,000 he was reputed to when i he retired from the game in 1898, i after having managed; and captained the Chicago National leaguers for i twenty-two years. “Pop’s” last Anan- ( cial straw blew away when a mort- . gage on his horse at 160 East Thlr- • tieth street was foreclosed by the Hi- > bernlan Banking association, in de- • (anlt o< n 0...

Celina, Ohio, June 2— A destructive Are took place at Rockford yesterday in which two Standard oil tanks, the company’s wagon, barn, and a barn belonging to W. H. King, was completely destroyed at an estimate loss of $15,000. Rockford citizens have always been fearful that the gasoline tanks holding 200 barrels would explode and wipe eue the surrounding residence portion. Luckily the explosion of'the gssoUne did not shatter the tank and this fact is now attributed to the tanks being made of boiler iron, which proved able to withstand the explosion.
