ATTENTION REPUBLICANS. A niHfluKumhi'd New Yorker (oniiug to (ireenviutle. Hear Him. To the Republicans of I’uiuaiii county: 'i he lion. Warner Miller, ex-United States senator from the stale of New Yoik, will make four speeches in Indiana and we are fortunate to get one of them. He will speak in Greeneastle on Fiiday, Sept. 25 at 1 :30 p. in. Evevy townsliip ought to organize to be present at that time. We hope that the committeemen will ^e that this meet-

figure. They were met with a cold rebuff and were given the comforting (?) assurance that Putnam had the lowest rate in the state, etc. They were not objecting to the rate but were fighting the high valuation of their lands. One gentleman, and the Banner Times will produce his name if the democratic papers dare deny it, offered to sell his land to the board for its appraised value. They refused dnd he finally sold his farm for $1,000 less than the Putnam board valued it. Farmers should examine this matter if they really want relief from unjust taxation. The handbill says Putnam’s rate of taxation is lower than than surrounding counties. The Banner Times has never denied that there has been a low tax rate in Putnam but we have asserted and still assert that Putnam’s lands are valued at an outrageously high figure in order to sustain that low rate. This high valuation works a hardship to Putnam farmers because it requires them to pay a large amount of taxes and at the same time enables the state to collect an enormous sum of money from Putnam yearly that she should not pay. A fair valuation would not be so heavy on the farmers nor would it take so much money to Indianapolis. The fact that this county pays twice as much state taxes now as it did in 187H, with lands, according to democracy greatly depreciated, has set the farmers to thinking. They will vote against being robbed by this state tax, if they value their own interests, in the coming election. THAI AWFUL STOCK WE LLI On Sept. 10, 1892, the very cautious and careful Star Press said of L. A. Stockwell, now its candidate for joint senator: "Stockwdl’s record as u tax dadger inot calculated to brighten his record as a congressional candidate. A man wno could forget that he held a la’’ge hatch of mortgage notes every time the assessor came around for ten yea”8, is apt to lie forgetful in any position of trust or honor to which he asp’res.” The position of joint senator is one of trust and honor, neighbor. We suggest you now “brighten your man’s record” a little. Again on Aug. 27. 1892, the Star

Press said:

“By reason of the fact that County Assessor Bread-tret t is competent and fearless in the discharge of his duties, the cloak of refo 1 m is torn from Stockwell’s person and In stands forth in full view in his true characler. proven unworthy the confiden t 1 id- fell - and unfit to till any pit! lie otiici Th honest people of the Third Parly should demand that his name be taken of!'the ticket—fo ket-p it there is to brand as false and flimsy their demand for iion-

e-fy in office.

Stockwell was then a populist candidate for congress. Now he is a democratic candidate. Will the Star Press dare state it did not tell the truth in 1892 or will it admit

low rate of which the hand bill speaks. It is the amount of dollars the farmers pay on a high valuation that is bothering them, not the low rate. In endorsing the Indianapolis platform President Cleveland has taken another firm stand. Never before in history has a democratic president deserted what claims to be the dominantjelement of his party. Mr. Cleveland knows a few things about finances. In winding up an editorial on Sept. 17, 1892, the Star-l’ress said: “No democrat can afford to strenghen republicanism by wandering off after the people’s paity or any other side

issue.”

We commend the above to the careful consideration of tbs populists of Putnam county, who are honest populists for the cause of their party. The democratic party had no use for you in 1892 and said so. Now they nominate a full county ticket and are begging you to endorse it. They called you a “side issue” in 1892 and did everything to break up your organization. Now they are lying to you and are trying to swallow your organization which they are determined to ruin one way or the other. Kirom in Hook*. Supt. F. M. Lyon has received the following notice which is sent to all school officers of cities, towns, townships and counties of the state: Greetings:—You are hereby notified that information has come to the state board of text-hook commissioners of Indiana to the efleet that some of tlie text-books on U. S. history, published by Ginn & Co. and received by you have not been revised according to the directions of this hoard, and as required by agreement made between this hoard and Ginn & Co. And that said board also believes that all the histories lately sent to you by said publishers are also defective in this respect and are, therefore, in fact, not the books adopted by

the board.

You are, therefore, advised not to receive or distribute any copies of Montgomery's Leading f acts in American History until such revision shall have | been completed according to the directions of this board and you shall he no-

lified of same.

We further advise you that we have had an interview with a representative of the house of Ginn & Co., and that said representative has h.formed us that the errors and omissions were unintentional, and that tin- house will carry out thi 1 agreement made with the board.

The hand hill comes out and defends Mr. James' attack on the public schools. The hand bill will he extremely busy from now on explaining the foolish and buncombe statements of its party’s orators. And such orators as they are!

The organette hand hill has at last caught on and four days after Stockwell was nominated says that Stockwell made a speech at Danville, etc. On Oct. 8, 1892, the Democrat said : “Stockwell has been telling ids followers in every harangue that the peoples’ party would carry Georgia without doubt. His partv was hardly in the fight; even tiie district of the howling Watson gives a large democratic maiority which insures ids defeat in November.” This is particular interesting to our populist friends right now, par Ocularly the sentence about Mr. Watson, who is now after Sewall’s scalp. Many a Putnam farmer has gone before the county board of equalization, (three of whom are members of the court house gang) and have begged that the assessments on their lands be placed at a lower

when it swallows its dish of ciow that it is lying now? The taking up of Stockwell, his record and all, is but a part of the plan by which the democratic party hopes to bunco the people of Putnam county on local matters this fall. The handbill has “explained” that Woodruff bond. Will it now tell the people where ami how much of such bonds are out? Will it tell how many county bonds are out against the general fund of the county? Will it state why the county doesn’t payoff these county bonds with the $8000 saving made on the reduction of officers salaries, instead of paying interest year after year? If the Democrat has started out to defend Putnam county it wiil have its hands full. The Democrat is silent on the main questions we have asked it. It dare not “explain” away the county’s high valuation of land. That would expose the court house gang’s rottenness in management of Putnam's finances. Let the Democrat explain why Putnam’s lands are valued so much higher than those of surrounding counties, since the crime of ’73. Why didn’t Putnam county’s commissioners pay off the bonds standing against the general purpose fund of the county the year after they were made instead of letting them run since 1887, nearly ten years, paying interest thereon.

Mothers Anxiously watch declining health of their daughters. So many are cut off by consumption in early years that there is real cause for anxiety.

The Question of Economy.

TWO TAILS-

Alflo Two rales. Several years ago one of the popular humorists, scientifically inclined, concluded to make some experiments with iced tea, the popular summer drink. The result of his investigation is given in his own words. “I secured a sample of the tea at one of the restaurants in town to get a fair average of the article used. I took a teaspoonful of the liquid to the household pump; it was stirred into a large tub filled with water and in a moment the color of the tea had disappeared. Anyone will admit that this solution would seem harmless even to the healthy lower animals. We had some young puppies in the barn yard and 1 procured two of the smallest of them; they were allowed to lap at the liquid and then their heads were held under the water for fifteen minutes. It resulted in the death of both the puppies and the dangerous properties of the decoction were made apparent. It is all very well to have a bit of fun from the experiments in food and (Link, but there are many nowadays who are really hurt, and hurt seriously from the use of coffee. A new breakfast beverage has been produced which looks like cotlee in the deep seal brown color and which changes to the rich golden brown ot thick Mocha when cream is added. It has been introduced extensively this season and is made from cereals, the common grain of the field. It is nourishing and healthful, without having the hurtful properties of cotree. The tveakest stomach can handle the grain coffee and the taste and the color is so agreeable and coffee like that it fills the place nicely. This food drink, Postum. can be given to small children regularly for coffee at breakfast and is nour ishiug and fa 'ens their bodies. It is a liquid food made from the grains the Creator intended fo*m in’s subsistence. Manufactured by i he Postum Cereal Co., Urn., Buttle Creek. Mich.
