BAD DREAMS.

Nightmare, Restlessness and NightSweaty all C'ans< a d by Indigestion. Half of the nervousness in the world, all of the disturbing dreams and nightmares can be ended in a few weeks by a simple, inexpensive treatment. Upset stomach is the cause of nervousness and bad dreams. Your food is lying in your stomach undigested and fermenting; it is forming poisonous gasses which irrigates the pheumogastric nerve that leads direct from the brain, and ends in a network of tiny branches running through the stomach. It is also the irritation of this great pheumogastric nerve that causes healaches. Many times people have severe headaches and know they are caused by the stomach, but do not know in what manner. If you are nervous, have dreams or nightmare, and do not sleep sound at night, get a 50 cent box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets and take one or two after or with meals. They relieve distressed stomach in 5 minutes. Sold by druggists everywhere and by B. F. Fendigf, who guarantees them to cure indigestion or money back.

Origin of Day Set Apart For Decorating Graves.

How many persons know the history of establishing the 30th day of May as Memorial day? How many are there who understand the real significance of the day and where the idea originated? ‘Today |n every state and territory of the Union the day observed as th@ season of prayer for the welfare of the nation and the one day of the whole year in which the memories and deeds of, our fallen heroes in battle are universally recalled and extolled by a grateful and patriotic people. As universal as of the observance of Memorial day is, it is not in the broad sense, a national holiday. It is not a national holiday in the exact meaning of the term for the reason that there is no law on the nation’s statute books making it such. While there is no national statute establishing Memorial dat, the 30th of May is the Memorial day of the entire nation. While there is no enactment of congress which sets this day apart for the ceremonies and events which always occur annually in the United States, it is, nevertheless, a national holiday. In every state in the Union except Idaho there exists statutes enacted by the legislatures of the several states' creating the 30th of May as Memorial day. In Idaho, of course, the same as in the other states of the Union, the day is,observed. Shortly after the close of the civil war the southern states, over which there was cast a shadow of gloom, because of the defeat of their cherished dream of a slave oligarchy, in their hour of defeat and many trials, as a means of properly observing the worth and preserving the memories of their fallen heroes in battle, established the 30th of May as Memorial day. The 30th day of May was chosen for this day because it occurred at a season of the year when there are many flowers—at the season when gladsome spring is about to cross the threshold of summer. The idea of decorating the graves of the fallen soldiers with wreaths of blooming, fragrant flowers as a mark of love for those who slumber beneath the mounds was the primary method of observing the day. Speeches and patriotic addresses, preceded by marching bands of military men, were only afterthoughts so' far as the matter of observing the day was concerned.

The first observance of Memorial day was in the sunny southland. Many 'southern states begun the observance of the day for the first time in 1866. The smoke of battle had scarcely cleared away from the azure blue of the faultless southern skies when the torn and bleeding hearts of-a generous people set about to devise some proper public manner in which to show their appreciation of the worth of their fallen heroes, and by some concentrated’ effort prove to the w r orld that they loved the southern soldiers who had gone forth to do battle in a cause which might have been more successful if it had been more worthy. On the fifth day of May, IS6B, General John A. Logan, who was at that time commander-in-chief of the grand army of the republic, issued an order that the graves of all fallen Union soldiers should be decorated on the 30th of May. This order was carried out by the- various posts of—the G. A. R. throughout the northern states. Shortly after this date a number of states in the north enacted statutes which set apart this day as Memorial day, Other northern states follower the example, until now there is only one state in the entire Union whiehjias no statute of this sort.

Next Year at Richmond; G. A. R. Encampment Fine.

..Terre. Haute is all right as a convention city, say all who attended the Grand Army encampment there last week. The city was beautifully decorated and every feature was very successful, including the parade Thursday.

The headquarters of the G. A. R„ the Woman's relief Corps and the Ladies of the G. A. R. was at the Fillbeck hotel, and as Mr. Fillbeck is himself a veteran, he showed every courtesy to his guests.

The next encampment will be at Richmond, which city made a very thorough campaign that made it a very easy winner.

The degree of doctor of laws was Thursday conferred on ex-President Roosevelt by the University of Cambridge, according to a dispatch from London.

Foretells War or Peace.

This year is the year in Indiana for the seventeen-year locust to appear, the last visit, according to all stick-whittling authorities, having been in 1893. Back in the year 1859 the locusts that appear once every half of the average life, according to the insurance actuary, were noticed 1 with a pronounced letter “W” on their wings. In 1861-65 events were of such fiery and tempestuous nature that Sherman coined a synonym for hell on his march to the sea. Every succeeding appearance afterwards until 1893 the locusts bpre the letter “P” upon their w,ings, and life was not bestirred with anything more momentuous than presidential and other booms In the year 1893 a decided “W” was seen upon the locusts’ wings. This year will be remembered as the year of a smacking big disturbance which came to a climax with the Hobsonizing of public men in many quarters of the country. Spain learned that the mighty siniters had moved across the Atlantic with Columbus,- Dewey, Sampson and Schley, and Funston became household words and Cervera stumbled over an iron boat neatly placed by Richmond P Hobson after the war had worked up the climax for him. Those who have noted this peculiar shadowing of events by the locust are busily trying to guess what the wings will bear at this coming Some say it will be “T. R.” or just “R.” signifying talk by Roosevelt.

Buy Land in Canada We are the agents in this vicinity for the Western Canadian Colonization Co., of St. Paul, Minn., who own two large tracts of land in Canada. One tract is in Saskatchewan; the other in Manitoba. THE SASKATCHEWAN TRACT. The Saskatchewan Tract consists of gently rolling prairie land in the Redvers district, southwestern Saskatchewan. Has some sloughs or ponds similar to Western fowa, also some surface stone (nigger heads). Is a wonderful fertile, black soil, on a clay sub-soil. This land is covered with a rich growth of native prairie grass, but it responds readily to cultivation and raises immense crops. It is about 200 miles west of Winnipeg and from 3 to 8 miles from Redvers, a town of 800 to 900 people, on the Canadian Pacific railroad. We are offering this land in tracts from 160 acres up, $12.50 to $lB per acre, onethird to one-fourtli cash, balance in five equal annual installments. ■ . r —..•*•* THE MANITOBA TRACT.^^^The Manitoba Tract consists of beautiful, level, black prairie land, black soil, 3 to 15 feet deep, clay sub-soil, . free from stumps, stones or sloughs. Covered with a fine growth of native prairie grass, good roads, rural tele- : phones, and a district where 50 per cent of the farmers are from the United States, mostly from lowa, Illinois and Indiana. This land is absolutely gilt edge and can be recommended to the most conservative as being better than anything they have ever'seen in Indiana. The company agrees to stand back of this statement and refund anyone’s railroad -fare if they cannot convince him after inspection that this land is better than any in : his own state. It grows wonderful crops of wheat, oats, barley, tim- ; othy hay, clover and vegetables of 11 kinds, potatoes ; especially, running from 250 to 50(3 bushels <to the acre. Conditions are more nearly perfect in this locality, we believe, than any cheap land district in North America. Last, but not least, this land is only forty miles from Winnipeg, a city of 50,000 people, the metropolis of West- ! ern Canada, a great market and a great city in every respect. We are offering this land from $25 to S3O per acre, in tracts of from 160 acres up, one-third to one-fourth cash ; and the balance in five equal annual installments, 6 per ■ cent interest. Send for free booklets and other advertising^^itter. HEALEY & CLARK, Renssekw, Indiana.
