rpWoman's Danger Signals^

Hot flashes—dizziness fainting spells, headache, bearing-down II feeling and ills of a kindred nature—are nature's danger signals. The female disturbance or irregularity back of these calls for help, should have immediate care and attention. Otherwise the delicate II female constitution soon breaks down.

Mrs. Hannah Garver, mother of the murderer, and sister of the dead man, was in a room adjacent to the one in which the shooting occurred, and is the most important witness against her son. Mrs. Garver asserts that she heard her son and her brother quarreling loudly just prior to the moment the shot was fired.

The killing was done with a shot gun.'' The contents of the shell penetrated the heart and tore a huge gaping wound in the body of the victim. King died instantly.

The nature of the quarrel, said to have been in progress when the shooting occurred, has not been learned. Mrs. Garver says she was not close enough to overhear the remarks which passed between them.

The slayer, it is thought, went to Indianapolis, where he has friends and relatives. Mr. King was a relative of Mary A. Wood, mother of Lawrence and Merritt Wood, of this city.

Young Garver was known in this county, as he was a son of the late John Garver, of New Palestine, a well known school teacher. Garver had parted from his wife, and was making his home with his mother and uncle. It is said his actions have been such recently that the* neighbor? were led to believe him demented.

Land Value vs. Price.

Is the value of your land more than the price it will bring? Probably it is. The price of land is what it sells for in the open market. The value of land is the return that it makes to the owner in one way or another. In other words, the value of land is what it is capable of returning in crops, in rent, in that portion of living the farmer draws from the farm. In times of speculation price tends to rise considerably above value. In times of long continued depression and financial disturbances, price often falls below value. In one case lands,, as measured by price, become too dear—in the other too cheap but the tendency, however, is for price to approximate in a rough way to the value. The value of a farm for which a man is offered $200 an acre is not greater, so far as the production of crops is concerned, than it was 50 years ago, when he bought it for $25 but it is greater because he c.an' sell his crops for more money and while it may cost him more for the things that he must buy in the way of living, yet it has greater value than before. The essential feature in the value of a farm is its productive capacity, and the comforts of the home that it furnishes, and for which he pays no rent. The rise in the price of land is higher than close observers expected, but the prices are not going to decline. The farmer who has no mortgage does not have to sell. Land will not go lower until farmers are compelled to sell their land and try to make a living some other way.

Constipation Poisons You. If you are constipated, your entire system is poisoned by the waste matter kept in the body—serious results often follow. Use Dr. King's New Life Pills, and you will soon get rid of constipation, headache and other troubles. Recommended by Zike & Henricks. (Advertisement)

Hancock Court Reversed. The Hancock County Court has been reversed by the Supreme Court of Indiana in the case of Caraway vs. Lantz, appealed from here. An extract of the higher court's decision is as follows: "Drainage—Counting Land Owners—22176. Lantz vs. Caraway et al., Hancock Circuit Court reversed. Spencer, Judge. (1) It was not necessary to make persons who were connected with a drainage petition and in a sense parties to the record, but who were parties to the judgment appealed from, parties to the appeal. (2) Where a tract of land was disposed of by will, to the widow for life, then to be sold and the proceeds divided among his children, and after testator's death two persons bought certain shares of the children, and this proceeding was brought, the trial court erred in holding that the two buying the shares of the children could not be counted as land owners in favor of the petition. They were land owners and should have been counted against the remonstrance. (3) The rule of equitable conversion is created to work for justice in the claimants of the estate. The testator cannot by will change real estate to personality, and the fee having to vest in some one, and not being given to the life tenant nor executor or trustee, must pass to the heir beneficiary, who passes it to another. (4) The remainder man's interest is liable to his proportion of a drain or other improvement, and he must be counted in counting land owners. (5) Where a highway was affected by the drain, the township must be counted as a land owner and the trustees representative of the township is to be counted for or against th'e drain."

Mrs. Sarah E. Braddock, of Portland, Ind., is here visiting with her sisters, Mrs. Nancy H. Curry, Mrs. J. Lv Smith and Mrs. J. W. Lowry.

Cora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. .Walker, of Jackson township, who has been quite sick, is reported better.

REM. ESTATE SEES IMPROVEMENT

Business Getting Better—Hancock County Land Compared With Some Other Counties.

Charles A. Crider, one of the most experienced and best informed real estate men in Hancock county, talked recently in a very interesting manner to a* representative of this paper in regard to the condition of business. He says the real estate business is much better than it was three months ago, and that while the trading propositions which prevailed a few months ago are not so prominent in the real estate business, the cash buyers are more numerous. He says that Indianapolis real estate has advanced and that east side property, though higher, is active with prospective buyers to be seen every time one goes into the east side districts.

Mr. Crider says that Hancock county farm land is very desirable, and that foreign buyers are always pleased when they come to Hancock county to look at farms, and say that they would like to live here. He says that Hancock county land is the cheapest of any farm land that he knows of, with the advantages which it offers. He thinks the location of the county in the central part of the state, near the Capital City, Indianapolis, and being on the great National Road, add much to the desirability of Hancock county land. He says Hancock county land can be bought from $125 to $150 per acre that buyers are willing to pay those prices if the improvements are good, but that buyers do not want to pay those prices for land when it would be necessary immediately after buying, to begin to build a house or barn. This is especially the case in small farms of 40 to 80 acres. They would rather buy well improved land and pay $175 per acre.

Mr. Crider said the price of land per acre in such counties as Tipton and Howard are higher than in Hancock, but that the land is more fertile and the improvements better. The prices there run from $175 to $250 per acre, and very little land on the market for sale. He says, however, that the location of Hancock county is better than that of Tipton or Howard counties, and if the improvements of land were as good the prices would be as high. He says land can be bought in Wayne county with better improvements for less money than in Hancock, but that a farmer can raise as much on two acres in Hancock as he can on ten in Wayne. Mr. Crider expects to see the conditions of the real estate business improve.

CONTINUES SLOW

The Continued Wet Weather Makes Gathering Impossible Now Selling at 58 Cents.

The marketing of corn continues slow. The continued wet weather has made it impossible for farmers to complete the work of gathering corn, both on account of the soft condition of the ground and the dampness'of the corn. Considerable of the corn that remains ungathered will be marketed as it comes from the field, and for this reason it will be necessary to wait until it is more settled weather.

The dealers are paying 58 cents now, three cents above the price paid a couple of weeks ago. One dealer said today that with a good freeze and dry weather, corn would be 60 cents in a few days. This time last year corn was selling at 36 to 39 cents and did not go above 45 cents until late in February.

Not Beyond Help at 87. Sleep-disturbing bladder weakness, stiffness in joints, weak, inactive kidney action and rheumatic pains are all evidence of kidney trouble. Mrs. Mary A. Dean, 47 E.
