Body of Winamac Boy found Floating in N. D. River.

The body of Peter Porn, Jr., 22 years of age, whose home was near Winamac, was found floating in the RetFriver, near’ Fargo, N. D-, on Oct. 25th. It was sent to Winamac last' week for burial. The young man had been working in the harvest fields in the northwest and presumably had been murdered and robbed, as his watch was gone and not a cent was found in .his clothes. The body was not identified. Some two weeks ago the lad’s father had advertisements inserted in the newspapers and in this manner learned that the body had been found. The body had been interred at Fargo soon after it was found and the father had it disinterred and shipped back to Winamac in an hermatically sealed casket. • The funeral took ph.ee at St. Peter’s Catholic church last Monday.

Senator McCormick Opposed To Capital Punishment.

Chester A. McCormick, editor of the North Judson News, and state senator Troth this district, is to introduce a bill at the 1915 session of .the legislature to abolish capital punishment, which movement he says is'gathering force in all parts of the state and that'letters and telegrams pledging support had been received from many prominent men and women. Senator McCormick has addressed a letter to Mrs. A. D. Moffet, of Elwood, president of the Women’s Press Club of Indiana, whose co-operation, together with that of other organizations in the state, he asks. “Hundreds of letters and telegrams convince me that the good people of Indiana are thoroughly aroused to the situation,” he says. ‘There is absolutely not a single' argument ih favor of legalized murder. The ’ women’s organizations have aided materially in abolishing this barbaric custom in a number of our sister states and they can do the same thing in Indiana.”

Senator Kern says that the steel trust and the Standard Oil Co. defeated Congressman Peterson for re-election. The senator and Editor Babcock hold different views. Republicans know that he was defeated because of republican victory in every county in the. district and because Will R; Wood, who opposed him, stood flruily on the republican platform for a protective tariff and republican control. At the election two years later several other democratic congressmen will run against the same proposition, including Senator Kern him self, whose ready excuse for defeat was offered six years ago when Senator Shively defeated him for the democratic election. At that time he said liquor interests had accomplished his defeat by buying eight members of the general assembly and he said he could name them, but he later refused to do so when promised the election two years later. By the way, we wonder if any person ever heard of John Kern doing anything against the liquor interests that would cause*-said interests to fear him in the national senate. We have always liked Senator Kern very well, but if he ever opposed the distilleries, the breweries or the saloons or if they ever opposed him we have never learned of it. But his excuse for his own defeat was just as correct as his excuses for the defeat of Congressman Peterson. No democrat could have been elected in the tenth district this year. Even the disappointed seekers for postoffices had very little effect in the result So, both Senator Kern and Editor Bafbcock have another guess coming as to the cause of John B. Peterson’s defeat .

Despondency Due to Indigestion. It is not at all surprising that persons who have Indigestion become discouraged and despondent. Here are a few words of hope and cheer for them by Mrs. Blanche Bowers, Indiana, Pa. "For years my digestion was so poor that I could only eat the lightest foods. I tried every thing that I heard of to get relief, but not until about a year ago when I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets advertised and got a bottle of them, did I find the right treatment. I soon began to improve, and since taking a few bottles of them my digestion is fine.” For sale by all dealers. C
