I seemed to have lost all strength and ambitton; was bothered with dizzy spetis, my head would swim and specks float before my eyes. t took FOfey Kidney Pills regularly and am now perfectly «•» andfoel like a new man.

V church, is a most able speaker and active worker and though he has been here but a short time, the church all its deparaments has taken on a new life and Interest. The audiences Sunday were greatly increased in numbers and tiie two sermons given by the pastor were most highly appreciated. He spoke in the morning on ‘‘The ■<_ Lord's Supper” and„in the evening on “The Ideal Christian Life.” Both set: mons were most excellent, abounding in wisdom and thought, and were given in the earnest and eloquent way characteristic of the pastor. The Sunday school is also growing, as well as r the mid-week prayer service. The men’s class, recently organised, with the pastor as teacher, is growing in numbers, as well as interest, and the service of the Rev. Dawson here is expected to be productive of unprecedented good and uplift to the churen and community. OMUST BE ABOVE SUSPICION. Kidney and bladder ailments are so serious in their consequences, and if unchecked* so often, fatal that any remedy offered for their cure must be above • suspicion.

The team had been offered for safe at the stables there at I'Oi o’clock Saturday morning by two , well dressed young fellows, and was i purchased by a farmer, named Jacob Yager of near Waterloo. There Deputy Sheriff Ed Green was given a •gobfl description of the sellers of the team and it was but a short time until he ran down several clues, firing suspicion upon the aforenamed boys. . Among othef~ things given in the description at the Fort Wayne stables was that the two men had driven . there to a light green rtg. leaJitog the , team behind.

The horses had been sold for |285 and of this sum, 3261 was found in their possession, the money having been divided between them. Deputy/Sherlff Green and Mr. Schwartz, from whom the horses were ' stolen, went to Fort Wayne Sunday morning, where Mr. Schwartz promptly identified the horses as his own, returning with them in the evening. Mr. Schwartz, accompanied by a number of heighbors from the Amish settlement, made the trip to Fort Wayne by spring wagon. They attracted much attention as they drove througn the city Sunday evening on their way home, the spring wagon crowded to its utmost capacity by Mr. Schwartz and, his sympathizing neighbors, while two young Amish boys .each riding one of the recovered animals, which triumphantly brought up the rear of the procession.

Portland Real Estate Owners Give Options on a Location. The site for the new federal building in this city for which Congressman John A. M. Adair succeeded to getting a bill appropriating the sum of >60,600 for a building fund passed by the States congress, Is now engaging the attention of most of the real estate agencies In tbe city and individual property owners who have desirable sites situated near the business district of the city and are I figuring with each other and by themselves to sell the government the site. Although he had no taformation to give out for publication relative to where the sites offered for sale were' located, Postmaster Frost said Satur- j day that he had already given out pro-' posal blanks to at least ten or twelve ’ Which no doubt have already been for- ( warded to the postoffice department. —Portland Sun. e — Saturday, July 23rd, will mark the thirtieth anniversary of Father Wilk-' en’ as pastor of St. Mary's church,' and bls arrival in Decatur. Although no public celebration has been planned to take place bn this day, the event will hardly pass by without a large number of his friends and mem-' bers of the congregation congratulating him on this happy occasion. It will be remembered that five years ago, on the occasion of his silver ju-‘ bilee as pastor of St. Mary’s church, I one of the grandest celebrations planned and accomplished by the members of the St. Mary’s congregation was held. Father Wilken was born at J Hanover, Germany, October 19, 1844, his parents being Benedict and Thelca Wilken. In the year 1860 he came to this country with his parents, settling in Ohio and in the city of Cincinnati. | The following year his father died, leaving him to support his toother, he being the only son and then seventeen years of age. He learned the cabinetmaking trade and worked for several ( years to Cincinnati. In 1364 he went 1 to Nashville, Tenn., where he was employed by the government in a chair factory, which showed how successful he had become to this short period of-time. However, tais did not seem to satisfy him, he believing that he was called to a higher and more noble state, namely that of the priesthood. In’ the latter part of this same year he entered the Jesuit college in preparation for his higher aim at Cinclncinnati, and about five years later graduated from the classical course, in 1870. He then pursued his higher studies at the theological seminary of Mount St. Mary’s, where he completed hir course, and on November 9, 1872, was ordained to the high office of the priesthood by the Most Rev. Percell, archbishop of Cincinnati. He was at once sent to Fbrt Wayne and his first charge was to the pastorate of St. Patrick’s church, Arcola, with missions at Monroeville, Bluffton and Montpelier. After having served most faithfully there he was changed to „this city July 23, 1880, and where he has served in a most efficient manner ever since. Upon his arrival here he found many things wanting, owing to the infancy of the parish, but it was not long until he began to improve in various places where he thought best and many an act will stand to his credit, not only during his pastorate, but will be remembered after he has departed this life. Among the principal things of his stay here was the erection of the parsonage at a cost of several thousand dollars, facing on Fourth street. This will also mark the twenty-ninth anniversary of tee arrival xrf the Sia< ters of 8t Agnes, w>o, since that time; 1,1 ““ ' ’ J1 ' "’•r '

have had charge of the teaching to I tae Bt. Joseph’s schools. Sister Aloy- . sla w.as the first to .arrive, and was I been 'the superioress of the sisters herd * ver since. Four year- ago tbe twenty-fifth anniversary of her'arrival here was celebrated In a very ap- ' preptiate manner, long to be remembered by the members of the St. MapylS parish. The sisters now number ten, and Decatur is known as one of the best places of the order. Tbe Sister's home was also biMlt under Father Wilken’s instruction, and the ! St. Joseph’s school, for which the con- • gregation of St. Mary’s is heartily thankful. As the time went on it became a necessity to furnish more room for the children, and a two-story brick building was added, which gave them ample room for teaching purposes. Just & few years ago another building was erected, which now serves as the gathering place for the members of the different societies and the conservatory of music, which for the last few years has brought credit to the Sisters of St. Agnes. In the year 1888 a great honor was conferred upon the congregation as well as upon Father Wilken, when he was made an irremovable rector of the Right Reverend Bishop Dwienger of Fort Wayne As a spiritual director he is surpassed by none, and St Mary’s congregation is among the foremast of the diocese. As a friend he is the same to all and his acquaintance Is not only ito those of his congregation, but to all other denominations, to rich and poor alike. He is an Industrious and progressive citizen and has helped in many ways to build up the city to the high point It has attained. Among the many congratulations which he will receive on next Saturday is the hope that he will be able to celebrate the golden anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, which is but twelve years distant '' , Geneva, Ind., July 18 —(Special, to ’ Daily Democrat)—Geneva Lodge, No. 514, K- of P., formed In line at their lodge room on Line street at 9 o’clock Sunday morning and headed by the Geneva Merchants’ band, marched in i a body to the West Lawn cemetery, | where dedicatory services were held l and flowers placed on the grave ■of each departed brother. After this ' service of love they repaired to their castle hall, from which they all marched to the U. B. church, where the Rev. • Waldo, resident minister, delivered ( aztoemorial sermon,-taking for a basis for his remarks, the tenth verse of the fifth chapter of Second Samuel. , Rev. Waldo spoke in his ever-earnest ( and forcefiil way, much to the enlight- . enment and admiration of those, presj ent. During the services the Misses Orpha Waldo and Ora Premer sang a very beautiful duet. Services were j closed by all joining in the song, “God i Be With You Till We Meet Again.” | ' Thus closed one of the most impressive memorial services ever held by the Geneva Knights of Pythias. 1 The Geneva Chautauqua was opened at 2:15 Sunday afternoon in the Mempdist church by the Crescent Concert company, followed with a lecture sermon by Dr. A. E. Gringle, editor of I the Lyceum World. His subject was “Is Life Worth -Living?" in which he plainly showed by the teaching of L.e Bible that the true Christian life was. the only life to live and that it <s worth living. The doctor is a pleasant and fluent talker and appeared on the program this afternoon at 3 o’clock again for the last time during this Chautauqua. In the evening we were again entertained with a sacred concert by the Crescent Concert com pany. The members of this company are: . Carrie Moon, leader ; Miss Fushia Hadsell, violin; Miss Maud Evans, soloist; Miss Mary Blackburn, pianiste. The company was well re-, ceived and each member proved to be a star in het, role. It was conceded by all present that the initial day of the Geneva Chautauqua was a grand success. Owing to some delay in the shipment of the tents, they did not arrive in time for the Sunday, or fiir£ services, which were therefore held la the Methodist church. They arrived later, however, and were put in place this morning for the services today. The concert company left tills morning for Spencerville, Ohio, where they will appear this evening in the Chautauqua held there. II I — 1 There were no services at the M. ' E. or U. B. churches Sunday evening iin order to give a chance to attend 1 the Chautauqua, which is now in ses- • sion, and will be every afternoon and • evening on the campus of the Geneva 1 schools. z - Miss Inez Aspy, »ft« ® two weeks’ • absence fro® her duties, is at work again at the Geneva pnatoffice. » 1 «< ■ ' .

Fairbanks came to Omaha to aim bis first blow at those who criticize rresiaent Taft, the administration and the men in congress who uphold the president’s actions, Mr. Fairbanks’ address wafi thh ’chief feature of the second day’s session of the advertising men. He declared , that a marked tendency of recent years has been the indiscriminate abuse ot men in public position in an effort to enact cures for wrongs which have entrenched themselves in trade and commerce. “There is perhaps nothing more reprehensible than the loose impeachment of the motives of the chief executives,” he said, “the downright misrepresentation of his acts; distortion of his record by suppression of the truth or by pure falsehood. No possible good can result therefrom; on the contrary, in the end, confidence in the government is undermined. It may divert to a certain class to witness such brutality towards the head of the nation, but upon sober reflection they must perceive the hurtful results which flow from it and which damage all alike. The malodorous muck-raker flourishes for a time, but he has come to be an object of contempt, since his recklessness and insincerity have become • manifest What has been said of the executive applies with like fo rc ® ■ the indiscriminate, reckless assault I upon the copgress. Wholesale abuse, c unfounded utterance, respecting the • integrity and patriotism of those who ■ frame and administer the 1 laws, beget distrust want of confiI dence and doubt as to beneficence of • the government itself. Os course, K I bad men gain entrance there, as from . tithe to time they will, whip them out. t But Ire should differentiate with great ’cafe thO gbod from the evil."
