I The Wabash Literary Society ' closed their work la-<t Friday eve- * ning by executing a mock trial. ’ The Linn Grove circuit court was 1 the title, and composed of L. L. c Dunbar Judge, Albert Studler Bailiff. Rufus Kiess, Frank Reffe, c Lorenzo Dunbar. Leander Rohn, t Emil Lichty and Chas Morrow, jurors, after opening of the court Judge Dunbar catiled the docket, r A continuance was taken on all f civil cases No. 625 being that where 1 in the state of Indiana vs P. D. Kiz- t er for grand larceny. The complaint alleging that the defendant ( did on and about March 14 steal and drive away one cow and one hog the property of A. J. French, the complaining witness. H. E Rittgers and L. E. Opliger ( were the Attorneys on the part of . the prosecution while Attorneys , E C. Runyon and and L. L. Baumgartner represented the defense. Six witnesses testified for the prosecution and five were regidly examined on the part of the defense. Merlin Dunbar personating DeKel- ■ ley of Indianapolis as an expert on insanity and Ed Opilger of this place as Simple Simon were the amusing witnesses. On the part of the defense not a few wran glee I occured between Attorneys and rulings made by the court and some exceptions taken. The jury after I their deliberation submitted a verdict, agreeing to disagree. It has secretly leaked out that the division of jury were four for acquittal and two for conviction thus the serious charge still hangs over Peter’s head. In all the entertainment was very , instructive as well as amusing jThe Junior Ba:.d was also a factor I in entertaining the audience during the recesses of the court.

MONTH'S TRIAL FREE Breathe Hyomei Three or Four Times Daily and be Cured of Catarrh. t The Holthouse Drug Co., one of 1 the most reliable business firms in ■ Decatur, bave seen many instances ol 1 of the remarkable power of Hyomei j to cure catarrhal troubles and other disorders of the respiratory organs. ’ Results in this treatment have given them so much confidence in Hyomei , that they will give a month’s trial with the positive understanding that if at the end of that time a cure is ' not effected or enough relief gained to warrant a continued use of the , treatment for awhile longer, the money will be refunded. Hyomei is the ' only treatment for catarrh that has ever been sold under a “no cure, no pay plan,” and the only one where a month’s trial treatment is free unless it cures. Hyomei is not a pill or liquid. Just breathe it through the neat inhaler that comes with every outfit, and benefit will be seen for the first day’s use. Breathed in this way the health-giving Hyomei penetrates to the minutest air cells of the lungs, and drives catarrhal germs and poisons from the system The complete outfit costs but JI, and extra bottles of Hyomei maybe obtained for 5Uc.
