ATTENTION REPUBLICANS. A DtHtiugnlxhtMt New Yorker Coming to (■reenraBtle. Hear Him. To the Kepublieans of Putnam county: a he lion. Warner Miller, ex-United States senator from the state of New York, will make four speeches in Iniliana and we are fortunate to get one of them. He will speak in Greencastlc on Fliday, Sept. 25 at 1:30 p. m. Every township ought to organize to be present at that time. We iiope that the committeemen will see that this meeting is specially advertised at all the meetings between now and then. C. B. Case, Chrmn. Abthi’b Throop, Sec. The hand bill goes into another column spasm in its attempt to show that Putnam lands are not valued higher than the lands uf adjoining counties. The Banner Times still asserts that the value nt Putnam lands is placed at a higher figure than surrounding counties. The attempt of § the handbill to make the farmers of Putnam believe that their lands are veritable flower gardens, and blue grass pastures, etc, etc, will not work. It is no discredit to Putnam lands to say they are not as good as some of the surrounding counties for Putnam lands are not. Owing to more fortunate natural conditions and better located lands the lands of Hendricks and Montgomery counties are worth a fa- higher market price than Putnam’s but Putnam’s lands are valued at an enormous figure just to make a low tax rate look nice, which tax rate does not do its work. The democratic papers of Putnam cTunty can never convince the farmers that their lands are the best on earth when the farmers are breaking up in an attempt to pay their taxes. By the way, the democratic papers have quit their croaking over their low rate since it has been developed that that “satisfactory” low rate does not provide money enough to even pay interest on county indebt edness, let alone paying the debts. What encouragement can a farmer have in believing a democratic paper on Putnam’s finances and management when he knows that these democratic papers have been lying to him on the condition of aifairs in Putnam’s treasury. The Democrat four years ago said the county owed but .$750 out of its general fund and at that time it owed county bonds of $2300 in one lump. If the republicans of Putnam had not elected one county commissioner al the last election these democratic assertions and falsehoods could not be denied for

the court house si|uad lose no opportunity to cover up the actual facts. Now things are different. A republican is on the ground where he has a right, and it is his duty to know about these things. The fact that the county did not have money to pay the interest due bond holders at the September session of the county board would not have developed had the republicans not have given out the information. Do democrats propose to sit idly by and have democratic papers tell them that things are rosy, everything is all right and that the goose hangs high when they can’t even pay their taxes or make any needed improvements through the payment of excessive taxes arranged and levied by democratic county officials? We think not.

COMMON COUNCIL

Oct of five counties in which the hand hill compares figures it shows that Putnam’s lands are assessed at an average valuation of $23 per acre, which is higher than its Parke or Morgan figures and is lower than Hendricks or Montgomery. We could take a dozen counties and compare asssesed values in this section of the state and show where Putnam lands on an average assessment were valued too high. By its own figures the handbill tells the farmers that they are assessed above other surrounding counties and on three fourths of this county they are outrageously robbed by valuations away above the market price ot their lands.

Remonstrance cn Arlington Street Sidewalks. Cigarettes. At council Tuesday night the street committee reported adversely to the claim of Gasper Renick for damages. The council concurred. The telephone committee was granted further time, as the agent of the Central Union company asked them to defer the matter until he was able to attend. Councilman Hathaway was added to the committee on municipal lighting. The matter of plat ing on additional light on Indiana street at the intersection of Olive was referred to the light committee. Cigarette selling received some attention and the matter was referred to the city attorney to investigate what power the city had to regulate and license the sale of the “coffin nails.” The street committee with the engineer and city attorney were called to meet this afternoon on south Indiana street at three o’clock to look into the matter of improving the street. A remonstrance against the proposed new sidewalk on Arlington street signed by property owners along that street was presented by Conrad Cook. Mr. Cook made a speech in which he said the times were too hard for the people to pay their assessments for sidewalks and that he had to work bard all

gold dollar is now. The real sentiments of these peopie are clearly expressed by one of their number James Kitchen, an extensive farmer of Grayson, Ky., who when asked a few days ago why he was for free

silver said:

Geo. N. Nelson

Ben 8. Williams “ James D. Cutler, streets. John Tobin “

I am for free silver because I am in Mike Dalton

debt, and if we get free coinage I can pay my debts with one half of what it now costs tinder our present money standard: and another reason, I employ laborers on my farm. They are my creditors. I am the debtor. Under free coinage I can pay them with onehalf it costs me now, for it will raise tlie price of products and 1 can hire my farm help for sixty cents a day and pay them in bacon at fifteen cents a pound.” If the last sentence be true the day-laborer and wage-earner had better stop and think before he casts his vote for free silver.

When wear begins to exceed repair in your body you are going to fall sick. Tne signs of it are : loss of llesh paleness, weakness, nervousness, etc. The repair needed is food. You think you eat enough, and yet you feel that you wear out more tissue, energy, nerve-force, than jour food makes for you. The difficulty is that you do not digest enough. And this is so serious it is worth sitting down seriously to think about. If you can’t digest what you eat, take a few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect of it will be to increase jour flesh and make you feel stronger. You won’t fall sick. Proof that it is in control of your repair apparatus. It’s easj- enough to test this for yourself.

IIoncMty the De»t Policy. The republican platforms and policy as to the financial questions have always been in line with the old adage, ‘•’Honesty is the best policy.” To keep our public affairs clean and untarnished has kept such papers as the Democrat aud Star Press barking at our heels and has given a pretext for the existence of such charlatans as Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman. But the republican party lias kept on in its chosen path undisturbed bv such pernicious influences. It stands today for free speech, national probity and courts an examination of all its nets. It has fought repudiation in every form and so persistently that all the dishonest and dangerous characters who develop in politics have had to hunt another shelter in which to consummate their nefarious schemes. A campaign speaker in this state relates that in one of the places which he visited a German who had declared for free silver when asked why he differed so radically from the majority of his race in this country, gave as a reason that he owed ten thousand dollars on his ninmifactnring plant and that he now saw a way through the free coinage of silver bj r which lie could pay that debt in fifty-two cent dollars and he proposed to take advantage of it. J' hen reminded that his creditor had loaned him 100 cent dollars he admitted the dishonesty of the transaction but insisteu that the stringency the times and his own desperate financial condition, caused bj’ an unfortunate speculation in Chicago wheat six years ago, justified his vicious determination. It was Oliver 1*. Morton we believe who said that all roads out of the republican party led into the democratic party. The Chicago end of the latter organization seems to have become the dumping ground now for all the discontented, dishonest and crack-brained creatures in the country ; and so noisy ami demonstrative have they gotten to be that many of the sound money men of the party have become so alarmed at their clatter and ravings that they propose to vote for McKinley and thus insure the control of the government by honest hands. Feed the Nerves Upon pure, rich blood and you need not fear nervous prostration. Nerve ere weak when they are improperly and insufficiently nourished. Cure blood is their proper food, and pure hljod comes by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which is thus the greatest and best nerve tonic. It also builds up the whole system. Hood’s Pills are the favorite family cathartic, easy to take, easy to operate K«*al Futate Transfers. Charley VV Alien to 8 L and S M James land in Lockridge, $8C3. Alice A Pruitt to Emanuel Marquis land m Greencastlc, $850. They have the silver basis in India, have had it for centuries, and it has had a fair trial. It would ruin this country and bankrupteverybody. Thefountain of business is stability, and with a silver standard you can never have it. In Calcutta I can buy this suit of clothes for $40 today, and perhaps $20 tomorrow, and the next day it will be $50. You can never tell from the number of dollars you own how much you are worth. The country is at the mercy of the money changers and speculators. The idea of going to a silver standard from a gold one is too ridiculous for serious consideration. I have seen enough of this in India.—jlishop Thohurn’s opinion affirmed and endorsed over his own name.

That Extreme tired feeling afflictH nearly everybody at this season. The hustlers cease to push, the tireless grow weary, the energetic become enervated. You know just what we mean. Some men and women endeavor temporarily to overcome that Tired Feeling by great force of will. But this Is unsafe, as it pulls powerfully upon the nervous system, which will not long stand such strain. Too many people “ work on their nerves,” and the result is seen in unfortunate wrecks marked “nervous prostration,” in every direction. That tired Fee!Ing la a positive proof of thin, weak, Impure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it Imparts lifeand energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. The necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla for that tired feeling is, therefore, apparent to every one, and the good it will do you is equally beyond question.

The DePauw Weekly will appear next week. Mr. Hughes wears Delta Tau colors today. Paul Stratton will not return to college this year. Preparatory school met this afternoon at 1 :35. Several town people attended chapel excercises today. The first and second elevens are putting up strong practice games The preps will meet with the reg mar,college students for a few days. Bernice Tatrnan one of DePauw s strongest students last year, will not return this fall. Messrs. Al Smith and Frank Hornbrooke took a bicycle ride to Mt. Meridian this morning. Manager Harr}' Drvden, of Pui; due, was here yesterday renewing his endeavors to secure Roller. His attempt was unsuccessful. The DePauw Weekly board will have a meeting tomorrow. Several offices are vacated on account of the failure of old students to return this year. Purdue has twenty-five men on the ball field, and expects fifteen more the last of the week. Purdue is making a strong fight this year to keep up her former representation. The ’98 Mirage board will meet tomorrow at 1:15. The business before the meeting will be the election of an editor-in-chief to take the place of Mr. Charles Davis who will attend Harvard next year. A generous Methodist of Evansville, whose name is withheld for the present, lias made an offer to be one of fifty men to give $1000 apiece to endow a chair in DePauw. Al) the students will kindly make the offer known to all who might be interested or might be willing to assist in this most worthy enterprise. The Purdue faculty will give credit to the editors of the college paper. This is a wise move, for it is not to be expected that a first class college paper can be issued when its managers are obliged to take their time from regular study. The DePauw faculty is progressive. Let it at least consider the advisability of granting credit on the Weekly. The first chapel meeting of the new year was a successful one. 1 lie usual yelling took place, and the expression of the grand old DePauw spirit was not lacking. The J DePauw quartet sang two songs, and Wilbur Starr sang a solo after which Dr. Gobin made a magnificent address to the students, appealing to them to keep the old gold clean, and bear the banner of old DePauw higher than ever. The | address was well received by the students who are all heartily in sympathy with Dr. Gobin in bis J endeavors to lift up DePauw. The
