According to advices received from the metropolitan press, the campaign in Adams county opened last week. There is no such a thing as a Parker democrat, a Hearst democrat, a Brvan democrat, or any other kind of a democrat, only a plain unvarnished. dyed-in-the-wool Jackson democrat. That is good enough for everyone who Relieves that the constitution is law and that official snubs of great democratic war generals is a shame and disgrace to any great country. The Adams county democrats owe the naicnal df mociatic ticket their best efforts. There are many reasons for this, and the first of them is loyalty to partj' duty and regularity. Judge Parker twice supported by his ballot the twice defeated but still peerless leader, W. J. Bryan. This year Mr. Bryan will show his loyalty by his support of Judge Parker. What Col. Bryan can do everyone of his loyal supporters ought also to do. The predominating issues are the tariff, the trusts and imperialism and upon these there is no disagreement among democrats. The outlook is promising for party triumph, and it is certain ard sure if party unity prevails. This is the year of party triumph and this is the day and the hour to begin an individual effort to bring such a triumph about. gfftf

SENDS REGARDS P. J. Bobo writes His Decatur Friends from Wisconsin. We are in receipt of an interesti ing letter from our old friend, Patrick J. Bobo, who is now living at Winnebago, Wis. He says he exi pacts to visit Decatur this fall and greet old friends wno he has not seen in several years. He sends - regards to all his old friends and especially to H. L. Confer and J. AV. Place. Mr. Bobo established the first daily paper in Decatur, 1 some twleve years ago. » I ' BOY OF THE REGIMENT. With Hi* DyiiiK Brenth lie Inked Garibaldi For a CofUn. When Enzo Ferretti entered actively into the Italian war of Independence ■ he was just seventeen. He left Parma l secretly, deserting, as it were, dlls father, mother and family to tight for bis ! hero, Garibaldi. He walked over the Apennines without a penny hi hispock--1 et ami. arriving half dead at Genoa, 1 concealed himself on one of the ships ; bound for Sicily. When at bis destlna- , tion he emerged and gained the nickname of the "boy of the regiment.” From that time for some months he fought until the day for rest came. He was shot in the head and carried to s the hospital in a dangerous condition. Everything possible was done for him, but it was evident that he was troubled. and at last »t out that he could not die happy because he had never seen his hero! “1 have fought everywhere and sought always." he exclaimed. "but I have never succeeded in seeing him. How can I die never having caught a glimpse of him?” Another preoccupation was that he feared be might be buried without a coffin. Morning, noon and night his cry was, "Let me have a coffin!” The very day be died, by a fortunate chance. Garibaldi arrived at the bos pital. Having beard Ferretti's story, be stooped and spoke to him. The sick boy's expressive face lighted up and he exclaimed: "Now I can die happy. Oh, general, let me have a coffin!” Mot to Be Thought Ot. Mrs. Newlywed—Yes. Harry has only one fault, dear fellow! He will smoke cigarettes. Mrs. Oldglrl—Why don't you break him off it? Mrs. Newlywed --And leave me nothing to ncold him i.bout? No, indeed!—Cine mn.ti TimesStar

THE WATWA OF AFRICA. — A Curious Tribe, L<»w Down In th/j Scale of lluniunity. A hunter of big game in Africa gives a description of a tribe of natives whom be fount! there, the Watwa. “These natives,” he says. "live iu the swamps, their staple article of diet be--1 Ing fish and Hour made from the seed of the water lily, although during the rains they grow patches of cassava root and sweet potatoes at the edge of the swamp. They smear their bodies with mud to protect them from mosquitoes and are extremely dirty and evil smelling in consequence. They are very low down iu the scale of humanity and have a bad reputation among tribes living on the high ground, which reputation they Upheld during ovr visit. We engaged several Watwa natives as-carriers, but they only came to see what they could steal. One day I shot a reed buck in sight of the camp and left two Watwa to carry it in while I went after a hartbeest, but I never saw either men or buck again. It was no use following them into the swamps, as they knew every inch of the ground and water. They had small canoes hidden everywhere, and immediately they crossed a stream they sunk the canoe again where they alone knew where to find it. Our boys I were afraid to follow them, as they used poisoned arrows and sometimes set poisoned stakes in the tracks leading to their haunts.” DAME JULIANA BERNER. She Wats a Fifteenth Centnry Authority on Fly Fishing;. The first printed English book on angling was Dame Juliana Berner's I “Book of St. Albans,” which appeared about 1450, and contained a chapter ■ entitled "A Treatyse on Fyshynnge With an Angle." Fly fishing must have been practiced much earlier than this, as nothing but a gradual evolution could account for the complete list of flies for the fishing months of the year which it gives. To Dame Berner belongs the honor of first telling that the salmon could | be caught with the fly. She says: “Also ye may take hym, but it is seldom 1 seen with a dubbe at such times as when he lepith in lyke fourme and ma uere as ye do a trougbt or a grayling.” Her knowledge seems more complete than could have been that of the original inventor, so that the time when fly fishing originated in i British waters must remain uncertain. Dame Berner’s flies will kill trout 5 today, and her twelve were the foundation of those of which Izaak Walton said quaintly in 1653: "Thus have you a jury of flies, likely to betray and condemn all the trouts in the i river.” LOGGERHEADS. Thin In Given to Some Turtles and Other Animal*. ' The giant turtles which are found along the Atlantic coast and frequently [ in southern waters in great numbers are known as loggerheads. They commonly attain a weight of 1,600 pounds, are rapid swimmers and are often seen far from land, floating asleep upon the waves. Carnivorous by nature these huge tortoises feed on crabs and fisb, especially on a large species of conch, which they break open with their massive jaws. TLe flesh of this terrajHn is leathery and oily, with a strong smell of musk. Young specimens are more palatable and are often on sale in the 1 markets. A duck, ns large as our goose, which is native of the shores of Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland is also called loggerhead, from its seeming ■ stupidity and helplessness. In the West Indies this name is also given to two or three sorts of fly catchers. They Love Animal*. There is something very attractive to the American who is fond of animals in the way the Japanese treat dumb ’ creatures. The Youth's Companion gives Professor Morse as the authority for this pretty description of Japanese feeling for animals: "Birds build their nests in the city houses. Wild fowl, geese and ducks alight in the public parks. Wild deer trot about the streets. He had actually been followed by a wild deer In the streets nibbling melon rind out of his hand, as tame as calves and lambs on our farms. A dog goes to sleep in the busiest streets. Men turn aside so us not to disturb him. One dny a beautiful heron alighted on , the limb of a tree, and the busy, jostling throng stopped. No one attempted to injure the bird, but several began sketching him.” A Tudor Gallant. A gallant’s toilet was no easy business. and a slow or clumsy servant no uoubt got many an oath ami blow if he failed to tie up the points of the hose, lace the doublet or arrange the stomacher and frilled shirt to his master's satisfaction. A gentleman's dress had so many fastenings, with so much tying and lacing of his garments together, that It was impossible that he should ever get costumed (sic) without assistance. The long hose bad to be securely tied by a number of latcheta to the doublet: the doublet itself was laced up the front, ami the sleeves, j being slashed to show the shirt sleeves, I had also to be laced sometimes.—"History of English Dress,” Georgiana mn Makinw Htmarlf Agreeable. “T'ncle George says I was born with ■ silver spoon in iny mouth." “A spoon in that little month! Oh, J i see— it was one of those after dm net I coffee spoons.”—Cleveland Plain Dssi I *•

STOMACH DOSING WILL NOT CURE Only Way to Cure Catarrh is by Breathing , Hyomei i I Ask any physician if catarrh is a blood disease and he will tell you that it is a diseased a condition of the mu- 1 cous membrane and that it cannot be j cured by blood purifiers, pills, tablets ', or other forms of stomach dosing. The only sensible and scientific way of cur j ing catarrh is by the use of Hycuiei. i Breathed for a few minutes, four or live times adav, through a hard rub- . ber inhaler that is so small that it can be carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will absolutely destroy all catarrhal germs and cure the disease. Catarrh can never exist where Hyomei is us ed. It has a two-fold action, destroying the desease germs in the air pas sages and lungs, and soothing and healing the inflamed mucus mem brane. The Holthonee Drug Co., one of the most reliable firms in Decatur are giving their personal guarantee with every package of Hyomei they sell, that it will effect a cure or they will return the money. They have had scores of reports of remarkable cures of both acute and chronic cases of catarrh by Hyomei. No other treatment has the endorsement of so many reputable people in all walks of life, as this scientific yet common sense cure for catarrh. The complete Hyomei outfit costs SI and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime: and addi tional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents.
