Bro. Roby of the Benton Review “knocked the persimmon” in the amount of holiday advertising carried by any one newspaper in this section of tbe state, he having something like 95 columns of display advertising in his 24-page edition. However, Fowler, Oxford, Earl Park, Remington and Lafayette merchants were the advertisers, and it took some soliciting and a great deal of extra labor to get out such an edition. Perhaps The Democrat carried more strictly home advertising than any other county seat paper in northwestern Indiana, and every line of it came to us unsolicited, too, for which we are duly thankful. The Democrat’s two issues of last week were twenty pages, only four pages less than the the Review.

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES.

Mi-o.no Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by Promptly Removing the Cause, or Money Back. Dyspepsia cannot be cured by taking a digester, such as pepsin, because pepsin simply digests your food artificially, and not all of the food either, for it has no effect at all on starchy food, such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, bread, etc. There is just one way to cure dyspepsia and stomach disorders, trivial or serious, and that is to tone up or put energy into the stomach walls, so that they will be able to properly mix or churn the food. * * Mi-o-na tablets cure stomach troubles by putting strength and energy into the stomach. They quickly arouse the stomach from its inaction, and in a short time it is able to do its work properly: Ml-o-na is successfully used in vomiting of pregnancy, in car and sea sickness. And bear in mind when the stomach is in good condition, constipation disappears, also nervousness* drowsiness, night sweats, heartburn, etc. B. F. Fendig, the druggist, seltr Mi-o-na tablets at 60 cents a larg/b box, under a rigid guarantee to d<x all that is claimed for them, or money back. - *

Orders Men Handcuffed. Judge Jones sent out the jury before court adjourned and said: “There are eight defendants here charged with a capital offense. They are not handcuffed and are under guard of only two deputies. I do not think this safe. I order the sheriff to handcuff these men and ask the military to detail ten armed men to serve as guards.” Fehringer arrived at court guarded by six soldiers. He said the oath of the riders in full was as follows: “You do solemnly swear in the presence of Almighty God and these witnesses that you desire to become a night rider: that you will not write, talk or tell to any one of the secrets of this order of night riders; that If you dtf talk, write or tell- to any person any of the secrets of the order we are permtted to do with you as we see fit. You know death, hell and destruction will be your portion and that your body will not be buried in a graveyard. Do you w illingly and freely submit to all this, to help you God?” “Old Man Bogus.” Old Man Bogus (no other name known) testified as to the burning of fish docks by the riders The outlaws met and got into a row as to whether to hang Eogus or only whip him. but Bogus was never at home when the riders called The witness then told of the killing of Captain Ranken He said Rob Hoffman shot him Jess Carter put the rope around nts neck.

Vicente Gomez, to whom General Ciprlano Castro handed over the presidency on his departure for Europe, has established a new government in Venezuela. He has replaced tbe old ministry, tbe leader of which was Dr. Jose de Jesus Paul, the minister of foreign affairs, who has been the one figure outside of Castro bimself in the negotiations that culminated in the ousting of Minister de Reus and the severance of diplomatic relations with Holland, with new men. Not only has Dr. Paul disappeared from the counsels of the nation, but Dr. Baldo. who is now traveling tn Castro's suite abroad, also has been removed from his official position as minister of educaton. Secret advices received from Car* cas indicate that th'e whole of Venezuela has been in a ferment ever since President Castro sailed, and that the crisis was reached when it became necessary for Acting President Gomez to eliminate from his cabinet those who were closely affiliated with the Castro rule. Before leaving Castro gave utterance to what might be taken as a farewell message: “The Venezuelan nation is already on the road to true prosperity and greatness because of the strict fulfillment of obligations and the sound conditions of the revenues, and because of the state of peace which we enjoy and which it is your duty to maintain, that my work may endure." Letters tell of the discovery of a plot to assassinate General Bello, commander of Fort San Carlos at Marm caibo. The conspirators were captured and shot.
