I am seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a few doses now and .then, keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and in each case the results have been of the best.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

Briefs Ordered in Case Affecting Bank Settlement.

The cases taken up by attorneys before Master of Chancery Daniels in Indianapolis last Saturday are probably soon to be adjusted, thus making is possible to make a final settlement of the Robert Parker bank matters. Attorney William Darroch -Represented the trustee of the bank, W. H. Cheadle, and Attorney Frank Foltz represented the defendants in certain suits, namely those against Nichols and Hollingsworth, Nichols and Hilton, Mrs. Sarah E. Rollings and Jasper Guy. The cases affecting S. R. Nichols were the outgrowth of transfers made during the last days of the Parker bank to protect Nichols as county treasurer and his bondsman, E. L. HOrlTingswortl« The case affecting Hilton was a note given to Nichols against Hilton and which was paid to? the trustee. In the cases affecting Nichols, Attorney Darroch was given 30 days in which to file briefs, which the plaintiff will then be given time to reply to. The case against Mrs. Rollings was ordered dismissed on the conditions that she will pay back to the trustee all money received in the settlement of the James Sheets over and above the apiount of her deposit which the note was given to secure. The note’ S has not been paid, Mr. Sheets having been enjoined from its payment to-Mrs; Rollings. The conditions of the settlement will doubtless be accepted. The case affecting Jasper Guy he was empowered to adjust with the trustee, Mr. Cheadle. The case affecting Nichols and Hollingsworth involves about $21,000.

Jail is Getting Good Share of Business Now.

Tramps, often insufficiently clad and half frozen, have been receiving lodging at the jail during the recenT cold nights. Sunday Sheriff McColly received calls from Barkley township that a man was wandering about in the woods in that section. A. O. Moore went so the woods and got the man and took him, Good Samaritan like, to his home, warmed him up and gave him food. The sheriff sent for the man and he has since been at the jail. He is fairly well dressed but> seems mentally distressed. He re-' members but little about himself. Sunday evening a colored man was given lodging at the jail. He had frozen his ears and was in a bad condition. He said he had seen the queer man in Indianapolis and that both had bummed out of there on a passenger train. He did not know where the other man was put off the train. He was put off the train here Saturday night and spent that night in the light plant. He was kept here until this Tuesday morning. It is thought probable that the white man will have to be sent to the asylum. Other tramps' have been kept at re jail also and Matron McColly has □een very busy, especially since-her maid was taken ill with the grip. Joe Warbritton, the Fair Oaks youth, Mrs. Stapel, the DeMbtte insane woman, and the Newton county burglar were all in the jail Monday night.

Forced At Last tO GO Back to Colorado.

Simon Leopold has' been forced at last to give up trying to live in Rensselaer and to go back to Colorado, where his health had so much improved. He w’as advised several toonths ago that he could not stand this climate and that sooner or later his lungs would cause him trouble and he sold out his stock of clothing and furnishings and made plans to leave. Then he changed his mind arid decided to stay right here'and fight it out. For atime he seemed to get along alh right and he had his room enlarged and ordered a larger stock of goods. They had arrived and he .was ready for business when he suffered a hemorrhage which left no doubt that the advice of his physician had been correct and he shipped his goods back and is planning to make a hasty departure for Colorado, w’here he spent several months with such excellent results.

The romance of the west is preserved in “The Girl of the Whispering Pines” without these /unpleasant features, and the presentation of this modern type at the Ellis theatre next Saturday night, the 22nd, is sure to please.

This means that American industries will meet in competition the articled thus made unless a tariff is provided to protect American manufacturers and laboring men against the cheapened conditions that are to follow the* war in Europe. This means that it is implace in power the party that favors' protection as a policy and that has—always maintained- a wall of schedules thit made it possible for our labor to live on a plane very much better than that possible in England and the countries of central Europe. ‘

Second Number of Lyceum Course Wednesday Evening, Jan. 19. On Wednesday evening, Jan. 19th, Ralph Bingham sviH be here with his songs, music and stdries. This number is-not a lecture but an intellectual diversion, inducing pleasure and delight. Mr. Bingham, as a monologue artist, has no equal oh this side of the Atlantic and as a musician he has few peers. He is a humorist of the first class and excels in four different and difficult directions. He dramatizes music with his voice, makes the piano an instrument of rare humor, recites funny sketches till *the tears run down one’s cheeks and plays the violin ip an able manner. While he is reciting his audiences feel that is his forte and when he plays and sings one cannot think otherwise than that music was his calling. Especially is that true’ when he takes up the violin, for then he makes you think of the old masters, as the music sobs and wails to the magic touch of his masterly bow. Mr. Bingham is considered” by many to be the finest all around entoday, and those who miss him will indeed miss one of the best entertainments recently brought to this city. General admission 35c.
