Worth Knowing. There are many who are suffer* ing from disease, who have receive ed little benefit from medicines, and who have become discouraged or even hopeless of recovery.— The assurance that a remedy for these ills exists would be joyful news to them. And yet, this is just the announcement we make them, and this statement is verified by numbers of the most reliable witnesses, who gladly testify to its remarkable curative powers, and offer themselves sound and well, in evidence. Compound Oxygin has cured hundreds of cases given over as incurable. The proof is at your service. It will cost, you nothing to convince yourself. Would it not be wise to do so? If convex nient call at and we will give you all the information you may desire in regard to the treatment and its act-on and effects, or write us and we will send book of 200 pages, free.

Whenever clear vision at a proper dis. tance becomes difficult, it is proper to seek the aid of glasses. They become to the overburdened muscle of the eye as much of a necessity as food to the empty stomach, or a cane or crutch to him who has not the full power of his legs. There is no advantage in delaying their use. - Call on or mail a postal card to CHAS.

DEMOCRATIC. Th - Representative and Judicial Conventions will be held at Goodland, Indiana, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1896. The apportionment is one delegate for each 50 \otes cast for the. Democratic candidate for Governor in 1892. Jasper county will be entitled to 20 delegates to each of the conventions. ' D. W. SHIELDS, Chairman Go. Dem. Com. Pops nominoted Bryan and Watson. Middle roadsters succeed in placing a full state ticket in the field.

Kenworthy’s speeeh to-day was full of apologies for its lack of quality. Uncle Biliy said it was his first speech this campaign.. nd begged the in—dulgence of his audience. The Lawrence, Mass., Daily Sun, a republican paper, has declared for Bryan ana Sewall. The Anderson Telegram and Garrett Herald, both republican papers of this state, have hoisted the standard of, Bryan and Sewall. - 1 «■ '- ~ - -w ♦ *■ The Rnode Island state Demo*, cratic central committee by a vote of 15 to 3 endorsed the nomination of Biyan and Sewall and the Deuin ocratic platform adopted at Chicago

The Democratic campaign will be epeued in every county in the state oil Kugust 15., Each countv will arrange for the program of its opening through its member of the stated committtee. The silver dollar was n it only the “dollar of our daddies” but it was also the dollar of oui granddaddies. It w s authorized Ly act of Congress April 2, 17J2, and its coinage was begun in 17 ’4. It should be “our dellar,” and not only our dollar, but the dcller of our ehildien and gr ind children. The Jong experience or Judge Healy in the Boot and Shoe trade should give him a prestige enjoyed bv no other. His stock has been selected with care and backed by good judgment, and his prices can not fail to please.

As a lawyer he was aggressive and penetrating; as a man true and faitlnul to hi 5 friends and fellow lawj ers; and in dispo. siticn suave and polite. He was in manner attractive, and in bearing magnetic. He had many friends and few enemies. Eis life qualities were happy ones. We extend to his bereaved family our sincerest sympathy and lespectfully ask that the foregoing be spread upon the Order book of the Jasper Circuit Court. The resolutions w< re communicated bv telephone in t me to be read at a meeting of the Benton county bar, Monday evening.

NUMBER 30

McKinley’s Mistake.

In one of his Canton speeches Major McKinley stated that “our foreign trade, so precipitately cu off by adverse legislation, must be reopened for our surplus agricultural and manufacturing products. The major should read up a little and keep himself posted Juch breaks as the above statement, which is proven by reports to be false, will not help his cause along Whether the major gave utterance to the above with the wilful inten I tion to deceive, or was simply pre. j varicating, is something nobody but himself c in answer The truth of the matter can be found L. the June statement of the United jtatas bureau of statistics that throws considerable light on the operat ons of the Wilson bill —■ During the month of June the exs portation of domestic meiohandise (things manufactured in|this country and shipped abroad to compete with the world) was $64,863,891 This was a gain over June, I s -95, of 811,000,000 For tiro twelve months ths gain in this exportatioß of domestic merchau' dise over the fiscal year of 1895 was about 870,000,000

r his shows that the placing of some raw materials on the free list and the icweiingof the tariff taxes on t ie on ethers has enabled our manufacturers to ship increasing amounts of their products into the markets of the world It furnishes proof of the assertion of free traders that with a tariff f«r revenue only we could capture the markets of the world and sell as much of our manufactures as we do of corn, wheat, pork, cotton and other n.w products Our imports of merchandise du* ring Jun. amounted to 156,159,045 oi which $22,146,170 was free of duty The gain on dutiable goods was only about $63,000 For 12 months the ;ain was $41,195,000 The excess of exports above ,dl import? of merohand se during Juno was $10,459,117, and during the twelve months 6102,801 923

►Soon after the St Louis convention Mark Hanna wrote Gen. Harrison (hut he desired him to prepare a soeech a > enriy ns "ossible, and to make the tariff the chief issue of the campaign “It isour purpose,” wrote he, “to give the tariff i , ;m t’m main track and let the money issue lie op a siding as much as possible.” Harrison replied in a brief and courteois note that he had not completed his plans for the summer, but was going to the Adirondack* about the middle ot July ami dio not Know when he would be able to go into tho campaign, U his observation of tho trehd of affairs had con correct, he feared that the money issue already had the main (rack and tho tariff was n the siding and there to r main. Inis is probably the first time in JL-.rrison's life that anybody evr r alt. mpted to outline a speech for him or suggest what he should talk about. In consequence it is said the relations between Hamsun and Han ia are somewhat strained.

1 he eyes of the Democratic masses -especially of the class that participated in the events of 1860 are turned upon Mr. Cleveland to see ’f he will follow in the line mapped out by Mr/Buchanan 36 years ago. If he desires to be Buchananized in tho same degree as has been his predecessor, by the party which had honored him, he will nssnm -, as did that gentleman, that he is ‘greater than his party,’ clasp hands with a few deneficiaries of his administration and the enemies of his party end sink into oblivion,

Bid. Schanlaub, chairman of the Democratic committee of our neghboring county of Newton, exprtsses great satisfaction, in his Morocco Courier, at the choice of the recent convention held in this place for Congressman, and is particularly pleased over “the able manner in which Horace E. James* of Hammond, was collectively and individually “sot” down on.” Bob Johnson will furnish you the Daily Indianapolis Sentinel at 50 cents per month.
