Spokane Subscriber Compares Republican to Visit of Friend.

A postal card from Mrs.* J. E. Hopkins directs the change of address for the Semi-Weekly Republican to 1414 Montgomery avenue, Spokane, Wash. Mrs. Hopkine writes: “We look forward to the arrival of the Republican each week as we would the visit of a friend, for it seems like a visit with home folks to read it. Some items give pleasure and others great sorrow for there have been several passed away in whom we had an interest, especially Mrs. Foltz.”

Grover Smith, Henry Gilbranson and Geogre Danford, the trustees of the civil town of Wheatfleld, were all in Rensselaer today, consulting legal advice as to the proceedure they should take to adjust the present difficulties that threaten the school board there. The members of the school board are George Stemble, Albert Keen and Ray G. Anderson. Certain stories have been started about the moral conduct of Anderson, which he pronounces false, but the members of the school board claim that false or not, they are calculated to disrupt the school and they all seem to think that the only thing that can save the school is the removal or resignation of Anderson. Anderson, on the other hand, claims that he is being libeled and that he is entirely guiltless of the charges being preferred against him. The members of, the town board returned home, still in the dark as to what proceeding they shall take.

Eagle Seems to Have Had Wings Clipped in Old Maine.

Rock-ribbed old Maine seems to have gone democratic. Frederick W. Plaisted was elected governor, having defeated Bert M. Fenald, the republican candidate, by about 8,000. Democratic congressmen were elected in three districts and it is possible the state legislature will be denpncratlc, thus resulting in the election of a democratic senator to succeed Senator Hale. This is the first democratic governor Maine has had since 1880, and strangely, that governor was Harris M. Plaisted, father of the present successful candidate. X Arkansas also went democratic, and Arizona sent a majority of democratic delegates to the constitutional convention.

Forty Thousand Dollars Cash Paid for the Ranton Farm.

One of the biggest cash real estate deals ever made in Jasper county was that pulled off Monday by C. J. Dean, and by which Ed Ranton, Sr., of Hoopeston, 111., sold to Joseph Nofzinger, of Tazewell county, 111., the 380 acre farm known as the Peter Wasson farm and which has been occupied for several years by Ed Ranton, Jr. The price was $lO6 per . acre, making $39,900. Mr. Nofzinger will not occupy the farm himself, but will rent it.

They Did in Her Case.

Mr. Knowsltt Awl—No two men think alike. Mrs. Weeds—Oh! I don’t know. I’ve been married twice.

Two country school boys stood on a business corner this morning wrestling with cigarettes. From appearances. the manner in which the coffin nails were held and the attitude of importance the youths seemed to have, it was a first experience with the liver distorters. It is a great misfortune that bright boys, capable of acquiring an education and whose parents are making every sacrifice in order that they may go to school, think it neccessary that they should learn some filthy and demoralizing habit as a first lesson in the habits of a town. The cigarette habit seems to have fastened itself to a number of young boys in town, but fortunately a large number have not taken it up. Parents should see to it that their sons do not use tobacco, and the school board and the faculty should be given authority to see that boys do not use tobacco on their way to and from school. The cigarette is an abomination* that has contributed to the dwarfing of many a bright mind and parents should counsel with their sons and if reason is not sufficient to cause the boys to forego the habit, then more positive means should be used. The cigarette should be barred from the school boy.

Beveridge Note to Crumpacker Dispels Democratic Allegations.

Democratic newspapers have tried to make it appear that Senator Beveridge and Congressman Crumpacker are hostile personally and politically. This is not the case. They are cordial friends and have been for years and Senator Beveridge has no warmer supporter in Indiana than the 10th district congressman. That Mr. Beveridge feels the same toward Mr. Crumpacker is plain by the following friendly note: Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 9, 1910. Hon. E. D. Crumpacker, Valparaiso, Ind. Dear Crum: Of course I know you are awfully busy, but I am wondering whether or not it would be convenient for you to be in Indianapolis in the near future. I would like to talk things over with you. Of course you know that I am just as much interested as you or Mrs. Crumpacker are in your overwhelming success in November. With kind regards, Faithfully,

Albert J. Beveridge.

Good Way to Use Hyomel for Catarrh.

Besides breathing through the inhaler a few times a day, many catarrh sufferers write that they find inhaling HYOMEI (pronuonce it Hlgh-o-me) from, a bowl of steaming water each night before retiring, a great aid in curing stubborn cases. Try it; it’s very simple; gives quick, relief and makes you breathe easier. Fill a bowl half full of boiling water; pour into the water a teaspoonful of HTOMEI, cover head and bowl with a towel, and breathe through nose and mouth the pleasant, medicated, antiseptic and healing vapor that arises. This method relieves that stuffiness at once, and makes your head feel fine. You can get a bottle of HYOMBX at druggists everywhere or at B. F. Fendig’s for only 60 cents. Ask for extra bottle HYOMEllnhalent. But bear in mind that a HYOMEI outfit which includes Inhaler and bottle of HYOMEI costs SI.OO. * HYOMEI is guaranteed by B. F. Fendig and druggists everywhere to cure catarrh, sore throat, coughs, colds, asthma and croup, or money back. Try it on that generous basis.

“Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil is the best remedy for that often fatal disease—croup. Has been used with success in our family for eight years.** —Mrs. L. Whlteacre, Buffalo, N. T. While trying to induce one of the women patients of the Clark county Infirmary to take a bath, Mrs. Joseph Carr, wife of the superintendent, was severely bitten on the hand and la now nnder the care of physicians. Mrs. Carr’s hand is swollen and blood poisoning is threatened. For a mild, easy action of the bowejs, a single dose of Doan’s Regulets Is enough. Treatment cures habitual constipation. 25 emits a box. Ask your druggist for them.
