Thief Stole Hog and Butchered It On the Farm. 1 ■ Edward McCleary called James Britt and two other neighbors to his home in Barkley township a few days ago and told them that hog had been stolen from his farm and asked their assistance in trying to locate it They found that white corn had been used to entice the pig to a haystack, and after considerable seraching some hay was removed and a pool of blood uncovered, the hog having been killed right there on the place. Mr. Britt a little later found the knife that had been used to kill the hog with and which the thief had dropped. The thief was tracked for some distance through the field. He had carried the hog across his back. There is a tolerably good clew and an arrest may follow. In the meantime, Mr. Britt stands ready to deilver the butcher knife to the owner any time he claims it.

APPROPRIATION TO PRESERVE OLD GLORY

Representative W. L. Wood Writes to Defend Expense of Maintaining Old Battle Flags. Some of the local newspapers throughout the state have made objections to the appropriation made by the 69th General Assembly for the purpose of preserving of the old battle flags. The appropriation made by this assembly was $2,500 less than the appropriation in 1909. It may be that better economy might have been used in all of the appropriations in the past but if one will make a personal investigation of the old flags and see their state of preservation in the state capitol will be convinced that there is some merit in the appropriation made by the 69th General Assembly as the work begun would be of very little benefit if it was not completed.'

The preservation of these flags is of patriotic benefit to the generation unborn. Patriotism will never die so long as we and our posterity have the opportunity to look on old Glory and perpetrate its real meaning. The cases that contain the flags of the different companies organized in Indiana, belbnging to regiments who fought for the rights of the people in the war with Mexico and defended and preserved the Union in the civil war, are preserved in cases made of bronze with glass fronts and backs, standing about 9 feet square, making a beautiful display. Most of the flags have a statement showing the number of men killed and died of disease, which is of great interest to those whose fathers or brothers or acquaintances lost their lives on the battlefield in the defense of their cbuntry. The flags will be preserved for centuries as tokens of freedom and peace to the American people and the civilized world. The old soldier and his posterity may. look upon it with pride. The following is a list of the companies as shown by the flag’s inscription. Independent battery of light artillery:

The number of cases in which the flags are preserved at the present time are 59. Some of the companies had two flags as the patriotic women of Madison, Ind., presented some of the flags used in the Mexican war to their Indiana companies and other patriotic people presented extra flags to the Indiana regiments engaged in the civil war. I feel that the sentiment that prevails in the United States on which our great state is known should ever be perpetuated. Hands Off Old Glory. They shall not hoist.thee, Glory!

OSCAR BULLIS DIED OF TYPHOID FEVER

Son of James Ballis Died While Proving Up a Claim —Body to Be Returned for Burial. Oscar Bullis, 20 years of age and son of James Bullis, of Jordan township, died Tuesday morning near Thief River, Minn., where he lived with his two brothers, Ben and Arb, and his sister, Mrs. Louis Adams, and where all were proving up claims.

Parent Says Children Got Lice at School.

James Davis, a poor man living at Tefft, has made a novel defense to Truant Officer Steward for his failure to send his children to school. He has been causing some trouble and Mr. Steward went to Tefft this Wednesday morning to try to straighten things out. •Davis wrote to Mr. Steward saying that he was a poor man and had been imposed on. He said that five times he had cleaned his children up and started them to school and* each time they had caught lice and brought them home and that he did not intend to put up with it again and had taken his children out of school. Davis did not say whether the lice were contracted from the other pupils or how the children got them but he was sure they were secured at the schoo Ihouse. Mr. Steward proposes to urge that the children clean up once more and. start to school.

RHEUMATISM IN JOINTS.

Pain Disappears and Swelling Vanishes in a Few Days. That is what happens if you use Rheuma, the wonderful remedy that B. F. Fendig and all druggists sell on the “money back if not-cured” plan. There is a vast amount of rheumatism in this vicinity, and if you know any suffered, call his attention to this generous offer. Qheuma is a quick acting prescription. You will know your rheumatism is leaving 24 hours after you take the first dose. It dissolves the uric acid and drives it from its lodging place. Mrs. Alice A. Brown, Ithaca, N. Y., writes: “For seven years I suffered greatly with rheumatism in my hip; at night I was scarcely able to sleep. One bottle of Rheuma cured me.” That sounds miraculous, but Rheuma does miraculous things. Fifty cents a bottle.
