GRAND JURY RECEIVES INSTRUCTIONS

Will Take Up the Robbery Charge

Against Williams, Martin and

Derry.

Judge Mason Monday afternoon instructed the grand jury, after appointing William M. Coffield to serve in place of John F. McCray, whose name was drawn, and who is employed as census enumerator.

The court directed the attention of the grand jurors to the special matters for investigation and appointed Mr. Coffield foreman. Thomas Smith was appointed by the sheriff as door bailiff.

The grand jury is composed of William M. Coffield," Joseph Martin, John E. Barrett, Thomas J. Farout, George Hack and John Price.

The matter to be considered by the jury will be that of Williams, Derry and Martin, the young men bound over from mayor's court on the charge of burglary. The first two are in jail, but the whereabouts of Martin are unknown, as he escaped from jail a few days ago.

TESTED AND MEN

There Is a Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Upon a WellEarned Reputation.

For months Greenfield readers seen the constant expression of praise for Doan-s Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. Not another remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit.

John Kiger, 304 Swope street, Greenfield, Ind., says: "My experience with Doan's Kidney Pills has been related in a testimonial I gave for publication three years ago, but it is always a pleasure for me to tell of the merits of this remedy for the benefit of other kidney sufferers. For years my back ached a great deal and it was difficult for me to attend to my work. Whenever I exerted myself or brought a strain on the muscles of my back, I suffered from sharp twinges and the trouble was generally worse if I caught cold. The passages of the the kidney secretions were irregular and caused no end of annoyance. Hearing about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box at Quigley's Drug Store and I soon found them to be just what I needed. They cured the backache and lameness and also corrected the kidney weakness. It required the contents of only six boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills to cure me, though, my cas was of long standing. A number of persons who have read my statement have questioned me about my experience and at such times I have never failed to urge a trial of Doan's Kidney Pills."

Here and There

The rate of speed at which Halley's comet travels is calculated to "make the average chauffeur envious.

Rumors of shake-ups in the President's official family have narrowed down to the marriage of the White House cook and the policeman. "A physician says that work kills many people," observes the Augusta Herald. Our contemporary is feeling a trifle spring feverish we imagine. "Halley's comet travels at the rate of 1,956 miles a minute," says the Atlanta Georgian. Almost as fast, indeed, as a real spicy piece of gossip.

No wonder the census office is apprehensive of a backwardness in signing the blanks, seeing that the busy housewives are classed as "idlers."

So long as Minnesota had that young poet in prison, you would think it would have kept him there. Things like that should be nipped in the bud.

That performance of the Governor of Tennessee ought to make said State a desirable place of residence for those who practice murder as a fine art.

A a go a an a iv or from his wife because she drinks two cases of beer per day. That woman should have married a Milwaukee man.

The news that a Pennsylvania woman burned up her husband^s wooden limb to keep him from going to a saloon, is another sign that pretty soon the drinking man may not have aj leg to stand on.

PUN TO GET A NEW TOWN HALL

A Building Much Wanted in Shirley,

Which Can Be Erected Without

Bonds or Special Taxation.

The building of a town hall, says the Shirley News, with other accessories necessary to a modern place like Shirley by the ordinary method of bonding the town for funds with which to pay for it because the rate of taxation for such purposes has reached its limit. The need for such a building continues, however, and at the meeting of the trustees Monday evening a plan was brought to their attention which appeared feasable, and an effort will be made to carry it into effect. It is a plan in which the Commercial Club could be effective.

The plan is for the town to issue notes for $100 each to the amount necessary to build, say $2,700 or §3,000 each note to be endorsed by a business man or farmer for that note only. The money will be readily loaned on these notes, which will bear a reasonable rate of interest. As fast as the town can spare enough money from any fund, it will take up and retire one of its notes. The endorser of the note simply loans his name to the town and does not advance a cent of monev.

TO REVIVE THE SPELLING MATCHES

Robert J. Aley, State superintendent of public instruction, maintains that the spellers in the schools of today are better spellers than their fathers and mothers, who are wont to tell their children that the old fashioned "spelling bees" were wonders in their disclosure of ability to construct words, and in an effort to assert the correctness of his stand is preparing to have a serios of spelling matches at the close of the next school year. According to the tentative plan outlined, the matches will start in the township schools. The best speRer in every school will be selected. Froj: these the best speller in the township will be selected for a county contest. From every county the best speller will be chosen for a district contest, and from the best speller in every district, the best speller in the State will be determined, all tests to be made by the old-fashioned "stand up and spell down" plan. It is the hope of Mr. Aley to take the scheme to the National Educational Associanext year as a contest among States.

In recent spelling tests in the State, pupils of the common schools successfully spelled approximately five thousand words before being spelled down, a task of nearly eight hours duration. None of the fathers and mothers, Mr. Aley said, ever did anything like that.

FATAL BURNS

to Hancock County Woman in

Benton County.

The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Crump occurred Friday afternoon at Maple Grove, near Eden. Mrs. Crump was the wife of Jesse Crump and was thirty-two years old. She was the daughter of Edmund Brizendine, of Fortville, and before her marriage made her home for a time with Mrs. Ann Saville in Vernon township, and after marriage lived in Buck Creek township, moving a few years ago to Benton county, where her death occurred, the result of the explosion of gasoline.

Mr. Crump ordered a can of coal oil at a grocery store and through a mistake the can was filled with gasoline. Mrs. Crump in starting a fire used this can which she thought contained coal oil. The explosion blew out the windows in the house and set fire to ber clothing, her death resulting from the burns. She leaves three children, one of them a baby of six months old.

..Circuit Court..

HON. ROBERT L. MASON, Judlre.

The April term of the circuit court began Monday with the calling of the probate docket. Nearly every case called was reported filed by the clerk and this led Judge Mason to compliment the attorneys upon the good showing made and said the estates are all in good shape. It is an easy thing for attorneys to allow probate matters to drag and the court several months ago had to give them a statement of the urgent necessity of their giving this part of their practice prompt attention. Naturally he is pleased to know the attorneys have done their part.

After calling the docket of estates the same process was carried out in guardianships with similar results.

John A. Barr has filed his bond of $5,000 with George H. Cooper and W. B. Bottsford as sureties, as drainage commissioners.

Grocer's Mistake Causes Fatal Accident

From Bad to

Yes, its true: thousands of people cannot eat the simplest meal without having it lie on the stomach like a lump of lead, causing misery, sour stomach and gas eructations.

And later, when the stomach has gone from bad to worse, there will be longer Oeriods of food fermentation, and then dizziness, biliousness, sick headaches and nervousness.

If your stomach is out of order, if it doesn't feel right after meals, go today and get a 50 cent box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. In a few minutes after the first dose, the misery will disappear, and you will be thankfull.

Then go right on taking Mi-o-na for a few days. It will build up the stomach, unclog the liver, purify the bowels and make you entirely satisfied with yoiu* stomach in a few days.

Mi-o-na stomach tablets are made from the best prescription for stomach troubles ever written. They are sold by druggists everywhere and by V. L. Early and are guaranteed to cure indigestion, acute or chronic, or money back.

Booth's Pills are best for torpid liver and constipation. 25 cents.

Annual Tour Over Pennsylvania Lines

Has Begun and Greenfield Soon

to Be Examined.

The annual fire insurance, signal and telegraph inspections are being made by the Pennsylvania officials, and the special car bearing the inspectors is expected here shortly. The fire insurance committee consisting of the heads of that department from Philadelphia will inspect the local property to note the conditions in regard to the possibility of fire. By this inspection the committee determines what rate of premium for the company insurance the local division shall pay. The Pennsylvania railroad carries absolutely no insurance with the old line companions. Their property to a shovel is insured, but all within th company, in that manner escaping the expensive profit of the insurance companies.

The telegraph and signal inspections are conducted along with the fire committes by the superintendent of telegraph and chief signal engineer.

TEACHING TEMPERANCE

A prominent business man of this city speaking of the temperance question and the Greenfield schools, said a few days ago that a teacher of the schools made a firm temperance man out of his son by teaching him temperance when a small child. He admitted that it had been his custom to occasionally take a bottle of beer home with him, and that he had always regarded whiskey as a good thing in its place, and that it had medical properties which were good in cases of sickness, but that his little boy could never be induced to take intoxicants of any kind for any purpose. The cliiid always insisted that whiskey was a poison, and said none of it for him.

The father was deeply impressed with the child's position and determined never again to take beer or whiskey into his house as a beverage. He said that kind of teaching in all the schools of the country would make temperance laws unnecessary. The boy is now a young man, but never takes liquor of any kind.

She was a kind and loving wife and mother and at all times good and kind to her mother, which speaks well tor anyone. She was always ready and willing to help do her part in everything. She was never at any time in very good health, but was always cheerful and looked on the bright side of life. She will be missed by all who knew her, but especially by the young husband and little son, who will miss a mother's loving caress, but the grandmother's care will be next to a mother's. She united with the Friends' church in early life.

And waiting a little longer, For the wonderful change to come, She heard the summoning angel,

Who calls God's children home.

And to her in a holier welcome, Was the mystical meaning given, Of the words of the blessed Master: '4Of such is the kingdom of heaven.''

One by one earth's ties are broken, As we see our love decay And the hopes so fondly cherished,

Brighten but to pass away.

One by one our hopes grow brighter, As we near the shining shore, For we know across the river,

Wait the loved ones gone before.

Best Treatment for Colds.

"Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment," says the Chicago Tribune," moderative laxatives, hot foot baths, a free perspiration and an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment." While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adopting it must remain in doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is almost

Human intellect never yet has been able fully to measure God's designs upon Nature's trestle board. The source of life, what it is—of man, sparrow, and blade of grass— we do but conjecture! A link is missing—our limited vision does not discover, it—our investigation is fruitless for the time—we grope in the darkness. And yet, as pigmies in our weakness, we boldly declare, "It is!"—"It is not!"
