The Catholic Benevolent. League of Indiana, a fraternal insurance society, at its state convention at Ft. Wayne this week decided to admit women to membership on equal terms with men, and to bar men engaged in the liquor business.

The people of Jasper county can make up thier minds that the taxferret “investigation” is ended in this county. All the widows and orphans and those people who did not want to go into court to defend their rights, but had rather pay something to avoid a lawsuit, have been held up, and none remain now except the big fish, and it is very evident that there will be no further efforts of the taxferret to make a re-assessement in their cases. The “tax investigation” in Jasper county, the greatest imposition ever perpetrated on the people of a community, is done with.

The Indiana Democratic Editorial association will hold its mid-summer meeting June 18 and 19 at Ft. Wayne. A banquet and entertainment will be given the evening of June 18. The business meeting will be held at 8:30 a. m., June 19. There will then be an entertainment at the theater in Robinson’s park, one of the attractions of the city of Ft. Wayne, followed by sight seeing in and about the city, including a visit to the Allen county court house, one of the most remarkable pieces of architecture in the West. Senator Stephen B. Fleming and the local committee promise the editors a warm reception and that Ft. Wayne will do herself proud on this occasion. They urge every democratic editor in the state to come and bring his wife or his intended.

President Roosevelt has been baffled in his attempt to override the wishes of the entire white population of Charleston, S. C., and disregard the wishes of the Senate by appointing “Dr.” Crum, colored, to the position of collector of the Port of that city. It will be remembered that the President twice sent the Crum nomination to the Senate and the Senate as often failed to confirm it, in one instance practically voting toreport on it unfavorably. After the Senate adjourned, Mr. Roosevelt appointed Crum as a recess appointment but now the Treasury Department refuses to allow him any fees on the ground that he has been illegally appointed, a contention clearly upheld by an explicit law. The only hope which Crum can entertain of receiving pay for the time he has served is through a special act of Congress which is regarded as most remote. If the Senate will confirm him * next winter he can draw his fees from the date of such confirmation, but there is no more reason to anticipate that the Senate will confirm him in the future than there wbb when he was first nominated*

THE WHEATFIELD ELECTION.

Wheatfield, May ii, 1903. Ed. Democrat: Having just read the elegant “ squib” in the “Wheatfield Gimlet,” regarding the recent town election, I wish to correct the impression intended to be conveyed to the few readers of said “Gjmlet.” The editor (and candidate) blames his own party for letting him down hard, when there was no party issue at all. It was saloon or no saloon, and a few republican candidates made the mistake of championing the saloon while the temperance element, republicans, democrats and prohibitionists, joined forces to clean up the town. All the republicans do not have to be led by the nose, by a 7x9 editor, who loves the saloon because it ’’prevents bootleging!" Some men think more of their homes and children than they do of their party, and have backbone enough to say so at the polls. Nemo.

A VOICE FROM GIFFORD.

Newland, Ind., May 11, 1903. Mr. Editor: I notice in your last issue you say one Charles Doan was fined $8.65 for assaulting Thomas Akers, both of the Gifford district, i beg leave to correct this statement as neither Doan or Akers live in what is termed the Gifford district. Akers lives across the river in Porter Co., and Doan lives somewhere near there, but am not positive just where he does live, I have noticed tor the past few years that it has been the custom for newspapers of Rensselaer, whenever any deviltry had been committed any place north of town, that it was always in the “Gifford District.” Now I don’t think this is hardly fair. While I will frankly admit that we have a good many tough characters, we still have a few “white” people here also; some just as good as you will find anywhere else. Of course our country is new and we have people from ail over the state of Indianaand other states, and of course once in a while got a bad bargain, but just as soon as he was found out he was bounced out again, and as a general rule they move from here to the city of Rensselaer, where most of them can be found at the present time. Now I don’t want to be understood as saying that all the people that go from here to town are not good people, as some that I know that left here and went to Rensselaer are all O. K., and very nice people. But I mean the majority.

I do not object to taking our share of blame, but it seems to me that it is the delight of some people to give the “Giffora district” the “devil.” Let some one in town or thereabouts get boozy and nothing will be said to him, but let a “Giffordite,” as they are called, go to town, and say one word out of the way and he is arrested and fined at once, and a great long description of the case will appear in the next week's issue of the papers. “A Giffordite.” [So far as The Democrat is concerned it has at no time published anything about anyone from the Gifford district except what was considered the truth. Regarding the drunken cases that come up in the Justice courts, we must necessarilly rely considerably on the court offices for our information, but we have usurlly referred very briefly to such cases and always confined our remarks to facts as we understood them to be. Ed.j “A man living on a farm neal^here came in a short time ago completely doubled up with rheumatism. I handed him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and told him to use it freely and if not satisfied after using it he need not pay a cent for it,” says C. P. Rayder of Pattens Mills, N.Y. “A few days later he walked into the store as straight as a string and banded me a dollar saying, ‘give me another bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. I want it in the house all the time for it cured me.” For sale by A. F. Long.

Fated To Die of Paralysis LiKe Father. Helpless Invalid For Three Years. ' Dr. Miles* Nervine Made My Nerves Strong. “For many years I suffered from terrible headaches and pains at the base o! the brain, and finally got so bad that I was overcame with nervous prostration. I had frequent dizzy spells ana was so weak and exhausted that I could take but little food. The best physicians told me I could not live; that I would die of paralysis, as my father and grandfather had. I remained a helpless invalid for three years, when I beard et Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and began using it That winter I felt better than I had before in many yearn and I have not bean troubled with those dreadful headaches since I first used Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine.
