LITTLE VISIT WITH UNCLE BY

Dilatory Courting. (Charlie Binger went t& see hl« best girl Sunday evening.—Exchange.) Charlie went t* see his girl—Susan Grigsby is her name. Ever since th' world's fair year, Susan she's bin Charlie's flame. Wonder when he's goin’ t’ "pop?” All th' neighbors wonders, too. Fust thing Charlie Binger knows, sum one else will git his Sue. Ev’ry Sunday night he calls, sneakln’ shame-faced up the walk— Seems t’ me es 1 wuz Sue, I would make him toe th' chalk. Bln a biirnln' Grigsby's lie fer erbout ten years er more; Darn a feller thet can’t git courage an’ a wife in foWr! When I married Mary Bliss, 'twant no tenyear courtin' game. Fust time thet 1 seen thet girl, I Jest knowed her married name. 'Twas a spellin’ bee down thar in th’ Holler op-ry house— She. had driv tn from Squeeville, 'long With thet thar 1 Brain K rause 1 Well, somehow I seen her fust: Cheeks as blrishin’ as th' rose; - Ups wuz ripe an' mockin' red; voice like ripples as they flows! Spelled my way erlong th’ line, 'til I stood beside her there; "Don't you think," 1 whispered soft, “we would make a handsome pair?” Turned an’ slapped me on th'cheek! "Mind your bizness, 81 U,” She said. An' we run away thet day, Jest a week, by Jing, an' wed' Ain't we happy? What's th' sense in this courtin' girls fer life, Keepin' them In dire distress? Waitin’ never won a Wife! Can't a feller see his Fate when he reads Can't lie "pop" an' livealway Jlst in love and I’aradse? • • • Corpse Still Alive. One of the boys of the Chicago Press club is responsible for this story: The western part of Texas is noted as a panacea for consumptives, but a great many of the sufferers delay visiting the territory until in the last stages of the disease and die shortly after reaching there. An Irishman, who was a station agent at one of the small western towns, was applied to for a ticket for a consumptive who was expected to die within a few hours, and who hailed from the far east. As these smaller stations are not supplied with through tickets it was necessary for the agent to communicate with the general offices before the required transportation could be had. So he wired headquarters as follows: “Send ticket for corpse, first train.” It happened, however, that the consumptive lingered through the day. and improved so noticeably that hopes were entertained for his ultimate recovery. The agent was apprised of this and at once sent another telegram which read: "Don't send ticket; corpse not dead yet:” • • ♦ How It Happened. It was like this: I.ark. Park, Meet, Son t. Heat. Treat, Wine, Fine, 1 >rhtk, Kink. Whoop, Loop, Lop. Cop, Forty Dollars! • « • ? Yarns. The editor of the Granville (la.) Gazette wonders where the deceased expresident oi a ceriain life insurance company has gone, but says if he (the editor) were dead, he wouldn’t like to ht.ui the insurance man for fear ol get..ng his coat-tails burned.

A Chicago woman wants a divorce because her husband "sits around all day an.] r«ads ‘Three Fingered Ike’ and the like when he should be hustling <hu«k!" Chicago folks always did offer more encouragement to their butchers than to their literati! Now this sounds sincere and should be most interesting to the fair young ladies who read this paper: Editor Young of the Berwick (N. D.) Forum Is advertising thus for a feminine companion: "Who is willing to share my lot? It is a corner lot!” A Michigan man has been arrested because he had too much money on his person. To keep the record straight, it might tie said that this man seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

•'What would you do with the money if some one left you a million dollars?” asks A. Josh Hatcher, of Michigan I w >uld try and buy as much real joy w th it as I did when a kid and had a nickel to spend tor peanuts. If there was any money left. 1 think I’d buy a new ribbon for my typewriter—machine.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. From our Special Correspondent: Finally the Senate has finished with the Rate bill. The Allison amendment, which may be Senator Allinson’s or may be someone elses, has been incorporated. The fateful words, “in its judgement,” have been stricken out and the Interstate Commerce Commission is left without specific instructions to do something it will have to do anyhow. No, the bill has not passed. There are still some speeches to be made by gentlemen who want to get into the Congressional Record. But the Senate is as good as done with the bill. Now comes the question how far the House will agree to the amended bill, and there is a prospect of a long and perhaps stormy conference over the measure. No one yet knows whether it is constitutional or not and the bill at the best will vest the rate-making power in the courts rather, than in the Interstate Commerce Commission. This of course may not be a great loss. The courts presumably are as honest as the Interstate Commerce Commission, but the mere idea of a broad court review to be a useless sort of government circumlocution vesting the rate making power witti the courts where it had as well be put in the first place if the courts are to have the ultimate settling of it. Only the embers of the BaileyTillman- Chandler-White House feud remain. Senator Bailey said his say and the correspondents of the papers he pitched into seemed to have no objection to being denounced as “deliberate and malicious liars.” So the,active eruption in that direction is over. If it had been a northern senator so describing a Southern correspondent, there might have been a sequel, but as the case stands, probably nothing more will be heard of it.

t t t One of the local papers came out last week with what is alleged to be an authoritive launching of the Cannon boom for the Presidency. It claims that the Presidential bee has lit at last and that there is being prepared by some unnamed Representative a speech which will be delivered in the House some time during the week, naming ‘'Uncle Joe” as the real thing in presidential timber and putting the thing in such a shape that the old war horse “of the Republicans can but coyly say “Yes.” This is a piece of gossip that is given for what it may be worth. There is no authentic record of a man yet refusing the nomination for the Presidency when it was definitely tendered him. Speaker Cannon says he has enough trouble running the House and is not particularly after the nomination. But it is possible he might be induced to do violence to his feelings if he were violently approached. There is just one thing against the suggestion, and that is that it is little early for the real boom to be launched. Presidential candidates are not usually named so far in advance of the convention and it is just possible if the Cannon boom is launched at this time that it may wither with some other booms already launched that probably never will get into the convention hall.

111 One of the most important conventions that has been held in Washington for a long time is now in session. It is the joint meeting of the Association of American “Physicians and the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. It will be recollected that this Association was the outgrowth of the commission appointed by the President to study the subjec'.. It has had the effect of bringing some of the best minds in the medical profession to the study of consumption and has resulted in the first organized fight that has ever been made against the Great White Plague. It was pointed out by one of the speakers last week that the ravages of tuberculosis in the United States in a single year wipe out more people and cause a greater amount of loss and, suffering, save perhaps the actual money loss, than the Galveston Hood, the San Francisco earthquake and the Baltimore and Chicago fires combined. Dr. Billings, in addressing the convention, saidjrnnkly that the medical profession had come to the conclusion that there was no specific drug for the cure of tuberculosis. The medical profession had been twenty-five years in arriving at that conclusion, and the average layman was now 25 years behind the medical profession and still clung to the idea

that there was some specific against the disease. Dr. Billings said, and the convention agreed with him, that the only hope for the work lay in a broadcast campaign of education among the people. The masses must be shown the real facts, namely that tuberculosis was neither hereditary nor contagious, though it was communicable from a consumptive to a well person if the most sanitary life was not led and the greatest care taken against spreading the media of contagion, namely the sputum from the consumptive patient, If this were done, and it could easily be done, there was no danger to be apprehended and the plague could be stamped out. There was a world of interesting material in the convention and the work of education and eradication outlined were so sane and simple that it made one wish to help the cause along by showing just how much and how little there really was to be dreaded from the disease. It may be said however that the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has a lot of simple and interesting reading matter prepared on the subject which it is willing to distribute, and any one who is interested in the matter can help themselves and help the work by communicating with the Association.

DREDGING THE KANKAKEE.

Starke County Democrat: The meeting spoken of in last week’s Democrat of a committee to present plans for completing the drainage of the Kankakee valley was held at Wheatfield Thursday, after the committee had made atrip down the river in gasoline launches and looked the ground over carefully. The report was to the effect that the plan is entirely feasible and practical. Following this meeting another was held Friday at Baum’s bridge, seven miles north of Wheatfield,at which 200 land owners were present. William E. Pinney of Valparaiso was made president of the meeting and Frank J. Cook of Laporte secretary. Prof. Goss, soil expert from Purdue university, addressed the meeting at length, arguing that the low land of Jasper county when once drained will be among the most productive in the state, but pointing out that the water level must first be permanently lowered so as to permit cultivation. C G. Elliot of the government drainage department was also present and spoke. He said if the work is undertaken the department of agriculture will furnish engineers to make the necessary surveys and plans for carrying it on successfully, and that M. H. Downey, who is well known here and who is assistant to the chief engineer of the drainage department, will be placed in charge of the work. Talks were also made by Benjamin J. Gifford of Kankakee, C. H. Tuesburg and Lemuel Darrow of Laporte county and John Brown of Crown Point. It was unanimously agreed to accept the offer of Mr. Elliott and to proceed at once with the perliminary work. For this purpose a committee of sixteeen men—five each from Jasper and Porter county and three each from Laporte and Starke was appointed to lookaf ter the interests of the land owners- Jacob Keller. VV. H. H Coffin and Christain Christenson were the three men chosen from this county. It was arranged to hold another meeting at San Pierre Friday of next week, May 25.

The Democrat io informed that it is the purpose of the men in charge of the present undertaking to begin where the Kankakee Reclamation Association left off and dredge to the Indiana-Illinois state line. But it will probably be done by means of the organizatien of two associations similar to that one. Owing to the anticipated opposition of John Brown of Crown Point, who has built some dikes to protect his land in Lake county and depending on the dikes would fight any assessment against his land to dredge the river, the first association organized will only expect to carry the work as far as the west line of Jasper county relying on another association formed later to continue it to the state line Forty-six miles of the Kankakee between South Bend and the west, linejjf this county has already been dredged at a cost of about $275,000, and it is estimated that the cost of continuing the work to the state line would be from $150,000 to $200,000, the distance being forty miles.

CATARRH A GERM DISEASE.

Breathe Air Medicated by Hyomei and Kill the Germs. Now that physicians and scientists universally agree that catarrh is a germ disease, the reason for the failure of the old-fashion-ed stomach-dosing in this trouble is readily seen. Prior to the discovery of Hyomei, a treatment which cures catarrh by filling tne air you breathe with germ-killing and healing medication, statistics showed that at least ninety-seven out of every hundred persons in this state were suffering from catarrh of some form. Although Hyomei has been known only a few years, the remarkable results following its use are shown by the much smaller percentage of those who suffer with catarrah to-day. The treatment with Hyomei is very simple and pleasant; a small inhaler comes with every outfit and three or four times a day Hyomei is breathed through this, making the air at that time like that found on the mountains where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing balsams. Used in this way, Hyomei penetrates to the most remote cells of the nose, throat and lungs, absolutely killing all catarrhal germs and effecting a complete and permanent cure of the disease. The complete outfit costs but one dollar, while extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents. B. F. Fendig hets seen such remarkable results from the use of Hyomei that he sells it under an absolute guarantee that it costs nothing unless it cures.

FOOTBALL VICTIM.

Pittsburg, Penn., May 18. — Coroner Armstrong to-day halted the funeral of Casper A. Heilman until the causes of his death could be investigated. Heilman was a student in Pittsburg College. November 18 last he was injured in a football game while playing quarter back. He was taken to the hospital and went home in February, but on May 9 returned to the hospital for an operation. He died of a rupture of the kidneys.

THE WAY IT WORKS AT BROOK.

Brook Reporter: Town after town, and we might add, county after county, has taken the fever and “gone dry.” The latest member to the bunch is the city of Monticello. Last week the remonstrance carried by a majority of over 50, and for the next two years the inhabitants of that burg will have to climb on the water wagon and take their drinks at the soda counter. It is only a question of a few years until all of the towns will see the advantages of the “dry” system and adopt it. Already the effects have been most noteworthy in our town and many people that three months ago were bitterly against the remonstrance methods are now among the most ardent supporters of all moves for the complete cleaning out of the liquor business. They, as well as all the people of our community, recognize the good that has been done by closing the saloons. Nor is that all, Only a few days ago a gentleman came into the office, who, not long ago was noted for his tippling habitr, and made the plain statement that “as long as the saloons were in town he could not save a cent for his family beyond the actual living expenses but since they are gone he can provide for his family with the utmost ease and still have more ready money in his pocket than at any time in the last fifteen years, and pay cash for what begets besides.” And he is only one of more that can tell the same story. It will be a long day before Brook has another saloon. For rent, a good five room house on river street. Large garden and plenty of fruit.
