.LEBANON, ST. CLAIR Co.. III. Jan. 17,'93 DR. MAN-O-WA. Dear Friend:—To the suffering of humanity I feel it is my duty to send you my testimonial for the good you have done ipe. Last May, 1892, I consulted you in regard to my case, at Worthington, Ind., at the Williams House, almost a physical wreck. Suffering with blood poison and kidney trouble and the Lord knows what else, life had got to be almost a burden to me, and the Doctor said, "I can cure you if you will take my treatment." I didn't believe it when he told me. I have been afflicted for the past three years. I doctored with some of the leading physician of Terre Haute, Ind., and St. Louis, Mo. I run down in weight as low as 184 pounds, and now I tip the scales at 163 pounds, and now my appetite is good and also my color. I can go out and do as good a days work as any one. If any body doubts this write meat Lebanon, 111. Formerly of Worthington, Ind. FRANK WITTENMYKB.

A Republican Club.
Tuesday night a large number of Republicans met at the court house for the purpose of selecting Ward Committeemen and organizing a Republican club. The meeting was called to order by County Chairman, W. P. Bidgood, and then Dr. C. K. Bruner was selected as permanent chairman and W. S. Montgomery, secretary. After this the various wards reported committeemen for Greenfield as follows:
First Ward, A. S. Orr. Second Ward, A. M. Hadley. Third Ward, J. A. Lynam. The question of forming a Repubtican club then came up, and at the request of the County Executive Committee, Mr. E. J. Binford had prepared a constitution and by-laws, which were submitted for the consideration of those present. The articles were acceptable and quite a large number signed them at the close of the meeting. The club will meet again next Wednesday evening, Feb. 7th, for permanent organization election of officers, etc. We want a club from 500 to 1000 strong right here in Greenfield, and will get it. It will be a great power for Republicanism in Hancock County. Let every Republican in the city come out next Wednesday night. A club should be organized as soon as possible in every township in the county, and in some townships there should be two or three.
Requisitions For tlie Jacob Catt ISuncoers
Requisitions were issued by Gov. Matthews Monday for Lewis Ludlum, Frank Smith, Peter Conlisk ami Cameron Bostetter, who are under arrest at Philadelphia. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to secure the men aud have them returned to this State. They are wanted to answer char es for swindling Jacob Catt, justeast of this city, out of $4500 last winter. The man who secured the requisition papers was detective of Indianapolis, who came here soon after Mr. Catt was robbed and claimed to be able to get the men in a short time, for which Mr. Catt gave him $200. Mr. Catt, however, says that he did nothing until he saw in the papers that Detective John T. Norris, whom Mr. Catt had given $100, had treed the men aud then i_e "zipped" out here Monday and secui'ed the proper papers from Clerk Downing and Prosecutor Felt to secure requisition papers. The men will without doubt now be brought here for trial. With the $300 Mr. Catt has given the detectives he has now lost $4800 and the chances are he will never get a cent of it back.
Eugene Lewis Now Postmaster.
On Thursday of last week Mr. Isaac Davis turned the postmastership of this city over to Mr. Eugene Lewis, who was recently appointed by President Cleveland. Mr. D. held the office four years and nearly four months, and during his administration the business very largely increased. More mails were received and sent out each day, and the service bettered in many ways. Mr. Davis has not yet determined what he will do, but fix st proposes a vacation of a week or two, and then Ms two or three business enterprises in view. Iu what ever he may engage the REPUBLICAN extends its best wishes for success. The REPUBLICAN also hopes that Mr. Lewis and his deputy, John Mannon, may give the public a courteous, prompt aud efficient mail service, and we think they will.

A Business Men's Jubilee.

Miss Rogers is an excellent musician, a fine singer and thoroughly competent to organize and present the Jubilee in attractive and pleasing way. Miss Rogers is an agreeable and pleasant young lady and the Relief Corps have done well in securing her services. The performance itself will be one of the pleasantest ones of the year to remember.
From the Hoosler Evangelist. Just closed a very successful meeting at Marion. "Victory is ours, Glory to God." The Lord greatly honored his word, over 100 convertions and perhaps half as many received the blessing of holiness about 80 accessions. Marion is well stirred religiously, the interest is so great the houses will not accommodate the people, many come long before church time to get a seat. Frankton is our next place. Let the good people pray for great victory there.
Yours for Jesus sake, JNO. T. HATFIELD.
The New Paper Mill.
Owing to some changes which had to be made in the machinery and one or two misfits, the Paper Mill will not be fully completed and ready for business before the first of March, but when it is it will be the finest and best equipped paper mill of its size in tbe country. There are now six teams hauling straw every day. Along in the fall about twenty were employed. The force will be increased again when the Works begin.
An Assignment at Morristown. Tuesday of last week Messrs Huffman & Graham, grocerymen of Morristown, dissolved partnership, Mr. Huffman taking the stock of goods and assuming all liabilities.

W, S. Montgomery Not Going to AnrtersMB The Democrat and Herald or this city in their last weeks issue, published an item to the effect that the editor of t&e REPUBLICAN had been at Anderson negotiating for the purchase of the Anderson Herald. They were led into this by th® following note in Samuel Harden's Anderson correspondence to the Democrat "Brother Montgomery, of Greenfield, was in Anderson last week, aud the Bulletin says he has notions of the Heapaid of Anderson. Be this as it may, MSf. Montgomery Las many friends here, and the Herald could fall into worse hands. It seems it is not giving the satisfaction to the rank and file of tfie faithful who think of carrying the county in '94."
The facts are, I was in Anderson on A little business trip and visit, Friday, Jan. 19th, but net for the purpose of buying or negotiating for the Heralfl. A half interest in said paper has been for sale since last summer, when the owner of said interest, Mr. ShackleforJ, died. The week I was there, there was« gentleman from Lexington, Ky., there negotiating for the plant, but Mr. Donnell, a blind man who is the editor a,a3 owns one-half interest, would not price his half as he did not want to sell under any circumstances, so the gentlenwui did not buy. The negotiations were being conducted through the law firm of Chipmau, Keltner & Hendee, and Judge Cliipman, a cousin c-t mine, srave the circumstaiices. As Mr. Harden says, it is true I have many friends in Anderson, and while there a good many of them said they would Ii'v vjry mucli to see me the owner of the Herald, but they, as well as myself, knew that it was out of the question for several reasons. First, because the paper wa? not for sale. Second, because could not ouy it it it was, and it is not necce?sary to continue further. The notice in the Bulletins probably originated from the fact that I made a friendly call on the Herald, as Is my usual custom,and the papers there are continually guying each o'hc-i .iboul
I a.in glad to say that I am doing well iu Greenfield, and that this year in .laarnary busines is oO-. per cent better than last year, and the prospects exceedingly bright. For all of which I extend my.: sincere thanks to friends and patrons. Greenfiold and Hancock county have been kind to me.

Friend and Comrade:—I have just received a letter from a lady cousin ats@| Fortville, (widow of the late Capt.

that localiton. What can you tell me.-' Of myself, I can say that I came .»• this valley seven years ago. in search -if health and climatic comtorc. Report el favorably and my family followed.
To report briefly now, I would say we have a happy combination of many latitudes affected by diftence of altitudeOne can stand on a hill in this valley and see grounds representing the four seasons on Christmas day. It is a land of perpetual delights aud ever recurring surprises a land of marvelous productive possibilities the products being innumerable in variety and immense in magnitude, a land of optical delusions of apparent geometrical contradictions audbig philasophical paradoxes.
You may stand in a road or street and look on one side into the watered garU of Eden, then turn and behold an equally apt emblem of gahara, if not of Hades.
The one has been cleared, cultivated and watered by the hand of man, while the other has grown cactus for ages. But I have not suffered at any time wick cold since I came here, though the air is sometimes chilly to ride in. A good Octoher frost, with mercury six to ten below freezing, is as cold as it has been in the last seven year
Please write me soon and remember me kindly to our friends. Yours respectfully,

The above letter shows how the old soldier boys like to hear from and of each other. The REPUBLICAN will be glad, to have any of the old soldiers use its columns in telling of the whereabouts, eel other facts, concerning the old Hancock county soldiers now living. Remeniscencesofarmy and camp life, concerning heroes that have passed away and those that are now living, would prove very in teresting. Let your friends hear from you, soldier boys.
