TRUSTED HIS MEMORY

TIll STEB AOLAX'S EXCVSB FOR XOT RECORDING CERTAIN ORDEItS. Peru to Have a Fnlr Thnt In Expected to Draw Large Crowds Uenth at n Religious Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal EL WOOD, Ind., Aug. 21. The matter of outstanding orders against Pipe Creek township, omitted from Trustee Nolan's annual report, is causlng.considerablemment in this city, as another order for $213, held by William Duffy, of Frankton, for ditching, and not Included In Nolan's published report, was found to-day. In an interview with Trustee Nolan he said that often he had given orders when he did not have his regular book with him, and, as there was no stub attached they had pimply slipped hia memory and he failed to record them. In this manner they did not get Into his report of expenditures. There was no Intention of fraud or irregular business about it whatever. It is very likely that the matter will be the subject of an official investigation, as there is a strong disposition among Pipe Creek township taxpayers to ascertain the exact status of affairs. Late to-night It was learned that another outstanding order for $7o0, due June 13, 1837, was held by a man In Elkhart, which does r.ot appear on record, making $1,715 in all outstanding, which does not appear In his report. I'KHl'S STREET FAIR A Novel Show AVlilcli Is Expected to Attrnet Lnrtre Crowds. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PERU, Ind., Aug. 21. Peru has the distinction of giving something new In the way of an entertainment to the people of the State a free street fair. It is the greatest (free) . show on earth. There are and have been numerous greater shows, but none was ever given to the public without exacting something in return for admission, and, in this they differ from Peru's great and successful attempt of entertaining the State with a decided novelty, therefore Peru's claim of having the greatest free show In the country annot in any manner be disputed. In a fair of this kind the business streets of the place are used for the exhibits of all kinds and for the amusement' instead of utilizing the fair grounds, as in the usuel way. Then, too, each merchant on the street assists by making a special display of his goods. Those displays are made in well constructed and attractive booths, generally 0x40 feet In size, most of them two stories high, erected on the edges of the streets and sidewalks over the gutters. Thus the streets from end to end, and from one side to the other, are filled with the various exhibits and displays of the fair,- and form an unbroken line of attractions for the. thousands of people who gather. The streets are entirely closed to all except foot passengers for the week of the fair. Aug. 26 to 31. Inclusive. In this way the sidewalks on both sides are utilized, and with the center of the street, form three oxcellent midways and an atractive means for the merchants to advertise thtir wares. Great as was the success of the lair last 3' ear. It was nothing in comparison to that expected next week. With the voluminous amount of advertising done, the great number of inquiries from all over the. country, and other assurances at hand. It Is confidently expected that many thousands of strangers will be within the gates of this city during the week mentioned. The of-flcers-elect consist of Joseph 11. Larimer, president; F. A. llalnbaugh, vice-president; John A. Delbert, secretary, and John E. Hendricks, treasurer. To thoroughly systematize the work it has been divided Into various committees, consisting of executive, amusement, printing,, privileges, music and others. The great feature consists of Peru day, Aug. 27, and denominated the sixtyeighth anniversary of the city of Peru. On this occasion Governor Matthews staff and all State-officers will, positively be. present. In addition to this th mayors and common councils of all cities in this part of the State have signified their intention, together with all county commissioners, to participate. Another feature of this day will be the parade of the Miami tribe of Indians and the famous , Miami Indian band, consisting of members of the tribe, who will parade in their native dress. Other daily features, consisting of double balloon . ascensions, high dives from a tower eighty feet .high Into a tank or water and netting; also, the'great painting of Niagara Falls, value! at $10,000; one of the World's Fair search lights, military competitive drills, line art displays, bicycle races daily, bicycle parade with lanterns at night, fancy drills, daily parade of fancy stock and ten bands of music. Another great feature Is the Midway Plaisance, erected at a cost of $10,000. which will be an actual reproduction of that at the World's Fair. The stock display will be elaborate. There will be dally parado of stock, dally auction sales, and in this manner is the great feature Inaugurated, a great stock market both to buy and sell. Everything is absolutely free. Excursions rates will be given on all railroads entering the city, and on Tuesday and Thursday all the railroads will run special trains from terminal points to the city. Taken all together, it promises to be one of the greatest fairs ever held In the country. M0IUTAIIY. Detttlt nt n ItellKlons Meeting Inilrr Dntmntit Circumstance. Special to the.

A Startling Admission.

In New York City, for tive consecutive years, the proportion of Deaths from Consumption has been three in every Twenty Persons. Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever and other diseases of similar character, so terrible in their results, occasion wide spread alarm and receive the most careful consideration for their prevention and cure, while consumption receives scarcely a thought, yet the number of their victims sinks into insignificance when compared with those of consumption. Comparatively few people know what to do for their loved oucs when they see them gradually lose strength, lose color, manifest feeble vitality and emaciation, or develop a cough, with difficult breathing-, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil was for a long time given in all such cases, but the poor success attending its tise coupled with its nauseating taste has led many practitioners, as well as the public at large, to place their main reliance in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It de serves early attention and will prove effectual not in every case but in a large percentage of cases, and we believe that fully cS per cent, of all cases of consumption can. if taken in the early stages of the disease, be cured with the " Discovery." Dr. Pierce does not ask people to believe until they have investigated for themselves. A pamphlet has been published havim? the names, addresses and photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering" coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies which will be mailed free to those sending for it with their name and address upon a postal card, or yon can have a medical treatise, in book form of 160 pages, mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experiences. Address for Book. Woar-n's DistknsarY Medical Association Buffalo N . the result was never in doubt, h'lrock taking the next heats easily.
