She Is old and quite feeble and came here last Saturday evening, supposedly for a visit with old friends. She was noticed wandering about on First street about 10 o’clock and Mr. George Zimmerman, who saw her, notified Night Policeman Melchi, who borrowed Mr. Zimmerman’s rig and took the lady to the home of George Conrad, where she said she wanted to go. She had a heavy suit case, was carrying it up in her arms whra found. At the Conrad home there was not room that night to accommodate her, but they arranged for her to stay at the home of J. D. Wisehaupt, which she did. The next morning she disappeared, leaving her suit case at the Conrad home, and has not been seen since. Marshal Peterson was notified this afternoon and he began an investigation. It was thought likely that she may have gone to the country for a visit, but a number of her acquaintances are very much worried, as she had made the statement that she would not bother any one much longer and spoke of drowning herself. She will be well remembered by many of the older citizens of the town. o NAPOLEON’S GRIT ’ 1 was of the unconquerable, never-say-die kind, the kind that you need most when you have a bad cold, cough or lung disease.

It 3 is only a question of who will be draft- ’ ed. Heretofore these conventions t have been warm affairs; sometimes a I thousand ballots or more being neces- ■ sary to determine the nominee. Now most any one can have the job who wants it and as yet no one seems, to have applied. Tomorrow, at the Te-. . publican county convention here, the ” delegates will be selected, but will not 1 go instructed, and there has been no vigorous campaign to secure any certain men for the duty. Several men in the district have been talked of. Judge Macy of Winchester is men--1 tioned, but he is in poor health, and i will not accept the nomination; Bert Vestal and Judge McClure, who have sought the office before, are spoken of but are not hustling. Frank Snyder of Portland is. said to be a receptive 1 candidate, as is also Rev, Watts of Winchester, while now and then the name of James Sale of Bluffton is spoken in connection with the place, but none of them are rampant, and whoever is named will accept the honor as one wherein he sacrifices himself for his party. — o THE CONSERVATION OF NAU RE’B RESOURCES Applies as well to eur physical state as to material things. C. J. Budlong, Washington, R. 1., realized this condition, and took warning before it wa» too late. He says: “I suffered severely from kidney trouble, the disease being hereditary in our family. I have taken four bottles of Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and now consider myself thoroughly cored. This should be a warning te all not to neglect taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy unutll ft is too late.” The Holthouse Drug Co. The score card man is here rustling for business. He has been assured of a good race program and is right tn the statement that there will be a big demand for the “official program.”* 1 Thia young man hails from Warren and he has been in the score card program business before. He says the ’ indications are for a rousing big fair, t He is the man who yells: “You can’t ! tell one boss from the other without ; them, have a score card, mister?” ■ i This year’s fair in Decatur is to be one > of the kind that every one will talk 1 about and you will be sorry If you r miss it. The program has been print--5 ed several times in this paper, and 3 you all know it’s a good one. The rest 3 of the fair will be equally interesting, 3 as ft includes many shows and attrac--8 tions, a merry-go-round, an ocean I wave, a ferris wheel, besides a dozen II free attractions, with the famed r Hoaglan Brothers as the headliners. 3 There Is nothing in this section of the a state to Interfere with your coming to s the fair at Decatur, and you will see r a really big fair.
