F"' 1 " When it comes to anti-lobby legislation, there is every reason why the sneaking, disreputable and criminal lobbyist should be put out of business. But there is no reason at all why any, honest citizen, with an honest purpose, l should be classed as a lobbyist and. be prevented from expressing his opin-j--lons upon contemplated legislation top representatives and senators, either.! in or cut of the state house. There is a well marked line between real : reform and hysterical imbecility. The new attorney general, James , Bingham, declares positively that he| ( will not give legal opinions *c any., persons except the state officials.L County, township and other officers, ]• ■who have been in the habit nf getting' j advice from the attorney general, will , have to look elsewhere. Mr. Bingham . changes the practice which has pre- j vailed for a generation and will be < able to draw his salary for less work ] than any of his predecessors. 1 . 1 The Indiana retail merchants’ asso-'j ciation, recently |n session at Evans-!, ville, showed conclusively that its|“ members are against the trusts and ’ monopolies and want them extermin- , ated. Now, if they will all vote accordingly, they will make real progress toward the accomplishment of , their desire. , ' —— In the row between President Roose- ! velt and Senator Foraker over the 1 negro soldier?, where does the Hon.

THE OPERATION PROVED FATAL A. J. Brickley of Near Linn GroveJ Died as the Result. A. J. Brickley of Nottingham town-' ship, Wells county, departed this life i at his ■ home on the Mathias Long * farm, his wife's old homestead. Satur-I day afternoon after a short illness at the age of 40 years, says the Berne Witness. > Mr. Brickley was taken ill a week ago last Friday but did not think cf anything serious and was able to go to church on Sunday and helped to butcher at his wife’s sister’s on Tues- 1 day. On Wednesday evening he took sick and the doctor was summoned. On Friday afternoon an operation performed but of no avail. The operation showed that strangulation of the 1 bowels was the cause of death.

A MURDEROUS OLD V/AG Greatest Desperado in the V/orld Lives in Kentucky. ■ SH — Probably the most respected citizen | in Eastern Kentucky mountain districts is old Shcakelford. who lives at, the head of Poor Fork Creek, in Perry [ county. Shackleford is getting old now —he must be about seventy, bu there is no adventurous, fire-eating youth who cares to try conclusion' with him. Too many have attempted that and died. He has a record of thir-ty-eight "killings” to his credit, a record that no Western desparado from T.a« Vegas to the Canadian line has ever equaled. He has been shot from I ambush but he has survived his ■ wounds, although this much cannot. be said of the man that shot first. His ' neighbors stand in awe of him, and he is said to bear a charmed life. His cabin is decorated with coon skins, and over the front door is nailed the skin of the biggest rattlesnake ever killed in the Kentucky mountains. Shackleford’s most dreaded antagonist in a fight was his wife, and he killed her several years ago in a domestic brawl. The militant old lady was giv- J en an imposing resting place. She was buried on the top of Harian Peak, and her grave was dug eight feet deep. Shackleford has directed that he be buried just above her when he dies. “I want folks to know that I come. out on top," he said in giving his in-' structions. —From "Beyond the Gap, j I by C. T.

THE CAR IS NOT A FREE ONE Poultry Association Members Will Pay Their Fares. From the article in yesterday’s paper that the Fort Wayne & Springfield company would run a special car to Fort Wayne to acoommomdate the members of the Adams County Poultry I association, some were ’''ad to believe I that this meant a free ride. President W. A. Fonner informs us that this is not true, that the association is more than satisfied that the company has consented to run a car for them and that each member will be expected to pay his-fare. o ANGOLA WILL MISG FACTORY They Recret the Loss of the Furnace Industry. The fact mat Angola people regret very much the removal of the furnace factory from that place, was verified by ’ a business man from that place yesterday. He stated that the factory was a great benefit to their town and that it would be greatly missed in a i financial way. While we do not wish any of our neighboring cities 111-luck, we are glad to note that it has been a concern worthy of notice, since is Jhas now become a Decatur industry. - -o NATURE’S CATARRH CURE Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure This Disagreeable Disease. Nearly everyone suffers at one time or another with catarrh. The natural way to cure this disagreeable disease is by applying heal-1 I ing medications direct to the diseased spot. In no other way can this be done as naturally as by the use of Hyomei, breathed through the neat pocket in--1 haler .that comes with every-Outfit. Put several drops of Hyomei in the inhaler and then for a few minutes, for or five times a day, let the air ■ you breathe come through it. In that way all the air that enters the nasal I passages, the throat or the lungs, is filled with Hyomei’s healing medice- ( tion, reaching the most remote air cells ! of the respiratory organs, destroying ■ all catarrhal germs and soothing and 1 healing the irritated mucous mem- ' brane. j A few’ days’ use of Hyomei will show how quickly it relieves all catarrhal conditions, and you will not have to ► use it long before you find it has i effected a complete and lasting cure i So strong is the Holthouse Drug Co.’s faith in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal troubles that with every • dollar outfit they give a guarantee to . refund the money unless the remedy gives satisfaction. They take all the I desponsibility and you cannot afford to suffer longer with catarrh when an 1 offer like this is made to you. Should extra bottles of Hyomei be . needed they can be c>btained for 53c, making this one of the most economical as well as the most reliable remedies for catarrh that is known.
