J. H. HELLER, Manager. J ’ . Illi — Governor Warner of Michigan, is the latest executive to declare war on the lobbyist. In his message to the legislature, the governor advocates driving them out of the state house and also calls a sharp turn on state officials and heads of the state institutions who appear in the role of lobbyists, instructing them to confine their effort to a formal statement of the needs of their departments. Governor Folk of Missouri, suggests that the jail is the best place for the professional lobbyist, who persists in forcing himself in where his influence is all to the bad In Nebraska Governor Sheldon defines a professional lobbyist as a conspirator against the public good who should be dealt with according to the degree of his crime. Governor Hughes of New York, is equally vigorous in his denunciation of the pernicious influence of semipublic corporations which seek to rule rather than serve the people. The rate of cne and one-half cents a mile for travel on the Indiana Union Traction and other electric lines throughout the state is neither high nor oppressive. The state legislature can not afford to discourage electric railway development throughout Indiana by enacting a one cent a mile law. The electric railways have done' note to force the steam roads into reasonable passenger and freight rates than any other cause. They have created natural and effective competition and the people have been benefited. To strike at these electric lines with a one cent a mile law would not only be unwise, but ungrateful and would in the end be playing into the hands of the great steam railway corporations.—Anderson News.

The Klondykes have been falling bad-] ly in the past and have practically put, themselves out of the running for the . present, and it now looks as if the,

Postoffice team has clear sailing. The ' scores made last evening were: KLONDYKES.

Constipation Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring prompt relief for Constipation. With others, coarse all-wheat bread will have the same effect Nature undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to relieve every ailment known to man, if physicians can but find Nature s way to health. And this is strikingly true with regard to Constipation. (The bark of a certain tree in California—Cfc». cara Sagrada—offers a most excellent aid to thia end. But. combined with Egyptian Senna. Slipi pery Elm Bark. Solid Extract of Prunes, etc., this I same Cascara nark is given its greatest possible I power to correct constipation. A toothsome Candy Tablet, called Lax-ets, is now made at the ' Dr. Shoop Laboratories, from this ingenuous and most effective prescription. Its effect on Constipation, Biliousness. Sour Stomach, Bad Breath, Sanow Complexion, etc., is indeed prompt and satisfying. No griping, no unpleasant after effects are experienced, and Lax-ets are put up in beautiful . lithographed metal boxes at 5 cents and 25 cents I per box. For something new, nice, economical and affective, try a box of Lax-ets WM. H. NACHTRIEd.

I i Inquiry at the local drug stores» shows that the sale of remedies for catarrh has decreased very much in ' the last year. Some medicines which were formerly bought a gross at a time are now purchased in half dozen‘ lots and are rarely called for. There is one notable exception to' this decrease in sale and that is ! Hyomei. This remedy is, in fact, re-; sponsible for the decrease in sale of I catarrh medicines, as it has made so • many cures of catarrhal troubles that ■ naturally there is much less demand , for remedies for that disease. ■ People who have been trying different medicines for catarrh during many' years were induced to begin the use of Hyomei by The Holthouse Drug company's guarantee, that the remedy I would cost nothing unless cured, j Much to their surprise, they found' i that Hyomei did what it claimed (if it did not The Holthouse Drug company could not sell it under this guarantee) 1 and they soon become ardent advo- ‘ cates of the use of Hyomei. There is no disagreeable stomach dosing with Hyomei; it is used by 1 being breathed through a neat pocket ‘ inhaler. The complete outfit costs but I one dollar, extra bottles, if needed, i fifty cents. ' Wth every Hyomei outfit The Holt- ‘ house Drug company gives their personal guarantee that the money will 1 be refunded unless the treatment cures, so that you run no risk at ail I in buying this reliable remedy. I , Group can positively be stopped in 20 minutes. No vomiting—nothing to I sickn or distress your child. A sweet, i pleasant and safe Syrup, called Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure, does the work and does it quickly, .. does not claim I to cure a dozen ailments. It's for Croup, that’s all. Sold by W.
