mm • 11 ■ — t A South Side resident relates the story of a new swindling gag that was worked by a grafter about two K’ weeks ago, or at least all indications thus far are that his game was a swlnBL die. He canvassed extensively in that end of town and sold small china jars supposed to be filled with a medicine | for catarrh, and he represented that to introduce the medicine his comKs pany was making a special premium offer. For $3 they would furnish 'a jar of the medicine and would also give the buyer a choice of a handsome piece of furniture, a sideboard or a similar article, or a choice of a rug 9x12, or a rug 12x15. His catalogue B showed pictures of the premiums. All he asked was $1.50 down and the othV er half of the three when the articles ; ■ were delivered. He is said to have reaped a harvest of something like fifty orders before he pulled out. That was two weeks ago, and nothing more has been heard of him. And now it has been discovered that even the small jars were not filled with the salve-like substance found in, the top ’ of the jars. In the bottom was cotton batting and above that a sponge and a small layer of the salve in the top of the par.—Bluffton News. A FEW SHORT WEEKS. t ” Mr. J. S.

Frank Barthol Gets Letter From Fairbanks, Alaska. ' —— Frank Barthol is in Receipt of a letter from Leo Martin, w'ho is still in Fairbanks, Alaska, stating that everything is o. k., and that he is doing fine. The letter was written about twenty-five days ago, and he said that ice was just commencing to form over the river. He received a severe 1 scratch some time ago while at work about some machinery and later blood : poisoning set in, giving him a very sore hand for some time, and he was required to carry it in a sling for several weeks. He says all the Decatur folks in Fairbanks are well and doing j • good. He sends best regards to all his Decatur friends. B" ° B THE CONSERVATION OF ..

Budlong, Washington, Ri 1., realized this condi- ' tion, and took warning before it was too late. He says: “I suffered seI , verely from kidney trouble, the diE? sease being hereditary in our family. I have taken four bottles of Foley’s ? Kidney Remedy, and now consider ' myself thoroughly cured. This should be a warning to all not to neglect taking Foley’s Kidney Remedy unutil it is too late.” The Holthouse Drug Co. __Q “UNCLE TOM’S CABIN COMING. Leon W. Washburn, with Stetson’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” company, begins an engagement at the Bosse opera house on Monday night, September 19th, when the patrons of that popular house will see this time-honored ; • play in all its superior attractiveness. “Uncle Tom,” the hero of this purposeful story, is portrayed by Fred ,i Bennett, Stetson’s original “Uncle Tom,” probably the best known interpreter of this celebrated character in the world. There will be two Topsys and two Marks in the great double east. The work of competent players * • . ' is further enhanced by beautiful stage settings and new electrical devices. Colonel Sawyer’s celebrated pack of |b Siberian bloodhounds is one of the features with this company, as well as the prize Shetland-ponies. New and novel specialties are introduced by the Creole Ladies’ quartet; John R Loery, champion buck and wing danc- | er, assisted by the Mississippi singer, Will Ocette; “The Lone Star quintet” in superb vocalizations and the grotesque “Limber Lee.” The street parade of this company will be worth going to see.

The real republicans have made It known to Senator Beveridge \that it will, be highly offensive to them it LaFollette, Bristow, Cummins, Dolliver and other noted insurgents are brought into Indiana to speak for Beveridge. Senator Beveridge’s attitude is foreshadowed in the fact that James' E. Watson, Joseph G. Cannon and others of the republican “old guard,” have received no invitation to address the voters of Indiana under the auspices of the Beveridge committee. The character of the campaign and the character of the speakers will be discussed and decided at tomorrow’s meeting of the s/ate commitfee but fir is a foregone conclusion that the “old guard” will lose. SJenator Beveridge is in absolute control of the state committee from the chairman down, and what he says will be law. The members of the state committee will discuss the situation, and will then decide as Senator Beveridge indicates —which will be that Watson, Cannon,, and, others of their faith will not be asked to speak—also that Dolliver, Cummins. LaFollette and Bristow shall come into the state. It has come to a show-down between these two contending forces in the republican party and the defeat that is seemingly to be the portion of the regular republicans at tomorrow’s meeting will not, it is conceded, tend to promote harmony. z James E. Watson, who is recognised as one of the foremost campaign orators in the republican ranks, was in Indianapolis yesterday and had a half hour’s chat with William K. Springer, chairman of the speakers’ bureau. Mr. Springer never once suggested that Mr. Watson reserve any of his time for the Indiana campaign, although it was known that Watson was on his wa yto New Yorn and to Pennsylvania where he is held in such esteem that he is to open the Pennsylvania campaign for the republicans. 1 On the other hand it is known that the attitude of the regular republicans and their desire that Cummihs, ’LaFollette, Bristow and Dolliver be kept out of Indiana, has been presented to State Chairman Lee. At a recent meeting of republican editors in Indianapolis, this sentiment was voiced. They feel that the presence of these foreign insurgents will be extremely distasteful to the many regular republicans of Indiana and they stated, through a committee, this belief to Chairman Lee. It is understood that he replied that the matter was up to Senator Beveridge. So, in this manner the present issue has been formed. It is the desire, of course, of the Beveridge forces, to have the support ,of the regular republicans and they would go to any reasonable length to accomplish this end, even nominally. But they do not regard the absence of Cummins, LaFollette, Bristow and Dolliver as reasonable and the chances are that these speakers will be brought into Indiana regardless of the wishes of the regular republicans. - A REGULAR TOM BOY was Susie —climbing trees and fences, jumping ditches, whitling, always getting scratches, cuts, sprains, bruises, bumps,’burns or scalds.

He ' boarded the train at Toledo at 4:30, apparently in the best of health, and shortly before death overtook him conversed with several of his fellow workmen. The last place where he was noticed to be still attending to duties was at Cloverdale, and it was between this stop and a small station called Douglass that he died. When the conductor entered the car at the latter place he found him sitting chair with his head bent over, and in his hand holding a number of bills showing that he had handled them just about the time he died. He was brought westward as far as Delphos, where his remains were taken to an undertaking establishment and prepared for burial. The body was taken back to Toledo on the j o’clock train.

His cries reached his .father, who ran to his assistance, and, failing to see a barbedwire fence, ran into it, breaking it down and cutting a handful of flesh from bls anatomy and ruining a pair of $5 trousers. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, his wife ran, upsetting a four* gallon churn of rich cream Into a basket of kittens,* drowning the whole flock, in her hurry she dropped and broke a $7 set of false teeth.
