J. C. Frazee Here and Talked About Interurbans.

J. C. Frazee, of near Peru, came here Friday and remained until this morning. Mr. Frazee does not have to worry about connections getting home, for he can get an interurban train about every hour of the day and he finds it a great convenience. He says that the only objection he finds to the interurbans over that day is the fact that they are built in some places right down the middle of the road. This causes much inconvenience to wagon travel and he thinks should never be permitted. The marketing advantage of the interurbans is a fine thing, Mr. Frazee says, and the merchants of the live towns Ind them a great trade promoter. Peru merchants find it an advantage to advertise for long distances along the interurban, notwithstanding there are many other good towns along "the road. He says that there is quite a lot of freight hauling also and that household goods, machinery and even some stock are hauled on the interurban freights. The freight trains usually consist of only two cars each but they run frequently and afford a convenience. He said that there was a fear at one time by the Wabash railroad that the interurban would put the steam road out of business but that now there was plenty of business for all and for a lot of jitney busses also. The closest station to Mr. Frazee’s farm is 4 nriles’, although the road runs within a mile of his farm, but at the near point is across the river and there is no bridge, but it is available by crossing the river on a boat and in case of haste that is the method used. As a land owner in Jasper county for a number of years,. Mr. Frazee paid a Ivt’of taxes and also gave liberally above his taxes for roads and other improvements, but he saw Jasper county develop and land values increase and the money spent in improvements was the best money spent, except in some misdirected efforts and he mentioned the Jungles ditch. If a man goes to sell a farm over his way they point out the advantages of the interurban as one of the factors that enter into the value of the land. He rides on the interurban frequently and considers it one of the good things in Miami county. Mr. Frazee is a man of calm judgment and has lived a careful, studious and industrious business life and his judgment of the value of nterurban railroads is worth a great deal.

Indigestion and Constipation. “About five years ago I began taking Chamberlain's Tablets after suffering from indigestion and constipation for years without finding anything to relieve me. Chamberlain’s Tablets helped me at once and by naing them for several weeks . I was cured of the complaint,” writes Mrs. Mary E. McMullen, Phelps, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. C

Much Suffering Exists In Parts of Europe.

Two pitiful stories have come to us lately of the terrible conditions existing in Europe as a cause of the great war. The following story was secured from the Fowler Tribune. Father Dye, of Fowler, last week received a letter from his parents who are now in Cahors, France. This is the first time he has heard from them in six months. Their own town of Arras is in the hands of the Germans. For quite a long time the people of that town have been living on a plate of soup and a piece of black bread fed to them twice a day. On the afternoon of May Ist they were notified that they were to be transferred. For three weeks they traveled, partly on foot, partly in wagons, and sometimes on the railroad in cattle cars. They are now safely in Cahors, France, where they will be taken care of by the French government until the war is over. A second story, and one of great pity, comes from the Monon News. Miss Bessie Scott, of Indianapolis, has received a card from a girl friend who lives in Germany. The writer told Miss Scott to steam the stamp on the card and remove it for a keepsake, as it would probably be the last .time she would ever hear from her. The stamp was taken off as directed and under it appeared the startling words: “We are starving to dealth.” It is not known in what part I of Germany the girl live?, but it' shows the deplorable conditions that exist in blOod-drenched Europe.

Seven Candidates Received I. O. O. F. Encampment Degree.

E. church dining rooms in the evening and sevety-six sat at r the tables. The supper was served by the Rebekahs. Charles H.

Mrs. Henley, who was arrested at Thayer several weeks ago in company with her sons, Cleve and Claude and her step-son, Fred Huff, was released from jail this morning and went to her home in Thayer. The charge* against herself and the others is chicken stealing and the people of Thayer believe they captured an important bunch when they were taken in. It is said that a search of the premises since they have been in jail resulted in the recovery of other stolen property including a set of harness. Mrs. Henley blames it all to her step-son adn s&ys that she will tell all she knows about his conduct when they are tried at Kentland in September. Mrs. Henley’s bond was placed at S2OO and her attorney, A. Halleck, procured it for her.
