It seems that after leaving Pine last fall, Jack went to Remington and wore out his welcome, and this spring Clarence Walker, only 19 now, and married two years, joined him at Lafayette. His first exhibition of nerve was to take possession of a vacant house without the owner’s knowledge, and having it furnished by the installment furniture men. After three weeks ot quiet the owner got onto this, and Mrs. Walker came to Otterbein, while Clarence raised some money on bogus checks. One for $7 was cashed by a saloon keeper. one tor *25 by a groewryman, and one for $25 was tendered to K a livery man to pay for a rig they were going to drive to Chaliners. but which was afterward found abandoned at Attica. The boys were enjoying themselves at a dance in West Point when taken into custody. Jack was dancing, Albert Baumas, wanted for tearing down a mail box, was helping furnish the music, and Walker sitting beside him when the officers arrived to put an end to their good time. Walker claims that Jack assisted in the check deal, although he passed them, and it is on this ground that the latter is held.

1 will mall you free,to prove merit, samples of my Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The heart or The Kidneys. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely symptons of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of yonr ailment and not the cause. Weak Stomach nerves—the inside nerves—means Stomach weakness, always. And the Heart, and Kidney’s as well, have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves, and you Inevitably have weak vital organa. Here is where Dr. Shoop’s Restorative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the “inside nerves.” Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or complexion, use Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book, Racine, Wis.

The Wheatfield band and the ball team are undecided as to where they will spend the 4th—Rensselaer or Dunn's Bridge.

Your team and band are too good for a donation—get the cash. Editor Bowie of the Review, in his account of the election of county superintendent, did, as some view it, an injustice to Lee Fisher in the statement that Lee was a candidate for the office, as he was not a candidate on the day ot the election and his name was used without his consent or approval. He had withdrawn from the race in favor of Mr. Sayers, the choice of the democratic caucus ten days before she election.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

BoratohM In Hersee. Hones that get poor In flesh axe subject to many aliments, and scratches axe one Of tiie moat objectionable ot these. When a horse shows any signs of swollen legs hie case should be taken In hand at once. The trouble then la not hard to overcome. Very frequently,a change with a boiled feed once a day or bran mash, with lighter work, giving the entire system a change and rest, a light physic, such as a pint of raw linseed oil given on an empty stomach, followed by light food and a rest, will often restore the normal condition. How much easier Rite treatment la than to allow the case to continue until the horse gets all ont of condition! . Good and proper feeding la the cure for each troubles, and In nine cases out of every ten Is a preventive means. If the case has reached the advanced stage, first thoroughly wash the legs with an antiseptic solution and reduce tbe swelling by regular exercise, apply a cooling liniment and give the swollen limbs a nice rubbing, which will exercise the circulation. Do not expect the trouble to disappear entirely within a week. It perhaps took months to get the horse in this condition, and It will naturally take time to throw this off.— Farm Life. Tki Black Locust. Black locust Is one of the most persistent deciduous trees that we have to reproduce itself from the roots, and hence it Is essential that one study this particular variety so as to know the right time to cut It If It Is to be killed at tbe root Grubbing out the trees and cutting them down at different seasons of the year have been tried. If you want the timber to last long in the ground, locust should be cut In August or September, but if you desire to kill the trees they should be cut In July and then In September the stumps should be peeled. The next spring occasional sprouts will show from the roots. These will have to be treated the same ns you would weeds to get rid of them. The black locust Is one of the best lasting post timbers we have and should be planted out on the prairie farms more than It Is for this one Item of post timber. We do not think it will last equal to the osage orange, but it ls equal to red cedar and can be produced on ground at a much lower price than we have to pay for posts at the lumber yard.—Farmer’s Tribune.

——— Feeding Brood Sows. Not long ago we ra?eived i "Stn Interesting letter from a farmer the northern part of lowa, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. He has been raising hogs for several years and to test the merits of mixed feeds as compared with corn alone made an experiment which will be of Interest to every hog raiser who reads these paragraphs. For three months prior to the date of delivery he fed the sows on the same ration. One pen received nothing but corn and water. Another received a ration of two parts com, one part bran and two parte chopped clover hay. These parte were determined by measure, and the clover was steeped In a little water for half an hour before being mixed with the shelled com and bran. At farrowing time each sow which had been fed the com dropped five pigs, three of which were fat and chubby and the other two rants. The other sows averaged eight pigs each, and there were only two rants in a herd of twenty-eight Profit In Pigs. Fall pigs can be grown as easily and fully as fast as spring pigs If one Is prepared to give them warm, dry quarters to sleep In and will feed warm feed I 9 winter, but-to get the best out of them they should come early In September or not later than Oct L By this farrowing date, good care through the winter, put on early clover and* fed well, they will be ready for a June market; which, taken one year with another, Is as good as any or .better. If breeding pigs to sell to other breeders, one should have pigs farrowed almost every month In the year, with possibly an exception during December and January. The bleeder of this kind must try to have the ages that are demanded over the different states.—A. J. Lovejoy in Farmers Voice.

Cowpea Hay Fop Cows. The New Jersey experiment station recently experimented feeding milk cows and cowpea hay and found that with the cowpea ration milk was made at a cost of 80.8 cents per 100 pounds, while the cost on a grain ration was 90.5 cents. On the grain ration the cows produced 8.3 per cent more milk and 15.2 per cent more butter, but comparison of the price of feeds showed a large balance iff favor of the cowpea ration. Why not plan to sow a few acres of cowpea next season?

... Take Care of the Tools. Before hitching to the plpw or hagrow or any other farm tool see to it that all the nuts are turned up tightly, says Farm Journal. This may save not only a breakdown, but a runaway or something even more serious. Lots of wrenches are lost out in the field by laying them down and forgetting to pick them up. It is a good plan to fasten them with a wire to the plow or whatever Implement Ja being used. Then we will always nave them ready for use. Qergot In Ewee. The udder of the ewe suffering from garget should be well bathed with very warm water to which has been added an ounce of cooking soda, and after bathing It should be well rubbed with an embrocation composed of lard and turpentine.

Jeffries Will Fight. James J. Jeffries says be will return to the ring If the title of heavyweight champion becomes the property of a foreigner. If It remains in American hands, he will not leave his retirement. Here Is his own statement: “Will I fight Bill Squires, the Australian champion pugilist? “Yes,lf he wins the American championship from an American. “I have retired and do not wish to go back into the ring. ♦ . «I have no love for the glove battles, but I saw a chance to win a .competency in a few short years and I took It I have this now. It is safely Invested where I cannot lose It and where It will bring me a comfortable ... income for the rest of my life, so I don’t need to fight again. “My wife wants to sqe the historic places of Europe, and I, too, have a desire to see places I have beard and read about I shall sail for Europe as scheduled, and meanwhile Mr. Squires will thrash out the situation with the ambitions young fighters of today. .“They are a fair lot and will keep t this fellow ibusy, unless I am mistaken. “Should be whip the best American / fighters and win tbe championship from them I’ll cut short my travels and come back to take a whirl at the old game. “I don’t wave the star spangled banner every time I get a chance to get a gallery yell, but I am a good American for all that, and I don’t want to see the championship held by a foreigner If I can help it “I have read Squires’ statement It Is a nice, straightforward, manly appeal. It Impresses me favorably.” / Harvard Football Dates. Harvard’s football schedule for the coming season as announced recently calls for ten games with tbe same teams that Harvard lined up against last year, with the exception that Annapolis has been substituted for West Point The Harvard eleven will play all but the Annapolis contest at home this year.
