Try This for Neuralgia. Thousands of people keep on suffering with neuralgia because they do not know what to do for it. Neuralgia is a pain in the nerves. What you want to do is to soothe the nerve itself. Apply Sloan’s Liniment to the surface over the painful part —do not rub it in. Sloan’s Liniment penetrates very quickly to the sore, irritated nerve and allays the inflammation. Get a bottle of Sloan’s Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief.— Advt.

FOUR CORNERS. Save your bird shot for the chicken thieves who are abroad'-in the land. H. Meier is shelling the corn oil the F. G. Barnard farm in Kankakee tp., this week, A daughter of Nathan Keen, from Indianapolis* is visiting her parents in east Walker this week. The Mrs. J. A. Hixson sale Tuesday was well attended and good prices was secured for most everything offered. Charles Meyers and wife started son Baltimore Tuesday to visit ents and friends. They expect to be absent six or eight weeks. The wolf..,drive Friday proved the lack of organization, and Jan. 22 they expect to make a more successful drive. Five or six wolves were seen during the drive, but none Were captured, The large boom for the river dredge was hauled out to the river Tuesday on trucks shipped from Chicago especially for this purpose, and by Wills & Davis’ traction engine. The boom weighed 30 tons. O. Salrin was mixed up in a runaway Saturday while driving to Wheatfield. He met W. S. Hamilton coming south in his car; the horse took fright and ran away, throwing Salrin out and breaking and damaging the buggy but injuring no one. Just a little excitement, and Hamilton pays one-half the expense.

The representatives of the C.& E. 1., railroad were in Wheatfield Wednesday in their effort's to create an interest in taking off the Bowie Special; but Bowie not being in town there was .no one to tdot the big horn for the improvement association, and they, the agents of the railroad, were obliged to await his coming. Freeman of San Pierre,- shipped a car of hogs the last of the week to Chicago and was compelled to pay sll inspection fee before the car left Tefft, which laid the hogs over one day and caught the i sc drop in the market. This is the effect of the quarantine restrictions in this county. iHe loaded a car th<e same day at San Pierre, from which place he is a regular shipper and where' inspection is not called for, and was not aware of Jasper county’s exactness.

Come to the wolf drive Friady, the 22d. Come to Wheatfield or Tefft, The north line is % mile south, along the stone road, the west line 1 mile west, to Tefft running south 5 miles. Shotguns, but no rifles or dogs. Permit granted by game commissioners to carry firearms as above. This section of land to be surrounded is the home of a number of wolves which are and have been doing a great amount of damage. A day’s sport for all and'especially one for Squire Bussell. Come. The Democrat of last week made us say that the team killed. on the crossing two miles west of Tefft, was settled for by the railroad at SSOO, the amount*’ 1 was $5 and not SSOO. This team was the third these parties had lost within the past year under similiar circumstances, and it is reported that they 'did not car 6 to urge their claim and accepted the $5 and receipted in full. [The correspondent left out the period between the 5 and 00, and we therefore supposed SSOO was meant. — Editor.]

We informed that the I-am-It of the Wheatfield improvement association worked-that organization , last week for carfare and expenses so that he might be permitted to attend the Jackson day celebration at Indianapolis. He informed the association, we were informed, that the C. & E. 1., officials were making a great effort to have> the “Bowie Special” taken off and that it was highly important that some one with brains be sent to block their game, and as he had always the brain

power, plus the brass, they should send him, stating that $25 would be sufficient he thought to pay carfare, hotel expenses and care for him in a manner suitable to one of his rank and station, but some members thought that sls would be ample lor such a trip, and this amount they gave him and told him that they would expect him tb make the railroad officials of the C. & E. 1., realize that Wheatfield was yet on the map. So .Bro. John grabbed 'Ms grip and with a clean shirt and a fresh collar or two, and with the front part of his back, one of the signs of north Jasper, encircled with a fine gilt watch chain, hiked for Indianapolis. It soon became known that President Wilson was to speak .the following day and then some of the republican members of the improvement association, realized they had been stung. One thought perhaps that Gov. S. M. Ralston or J. W. Kern had sent Bro. John a silent message, having heard of his great brain power and his ability to see into the future, his business sagacity and “loyalty to his party,” they wished to consult with him on the Mexican situation and other questions of national importance. We predict for Bro. John a glorious future.

Obituary of Rev. W. T. Davenport.

The Rev. William T. Davenport, a superannuated Methodist minister of this city, died at his home Friday afternoon at two o’clock after a long period of declining health. He is survived by three sons, Ruel Davenport of this city, Clarence Davenport of Washington, Pa., and William Davenport, Jr., of Rensselaer, Ind. The funeral services were conducted Sunday at his late residence by the Rev. L. Robinson, and the burial followed in the city cemetery. William T. Davenport was born on April 16, 1840, in Labanon, Marion county, and at the age of twenty years he was ordained a minister in the Methodist church. The Rev. Devenport was an active minister in the Louisville conference for fiftyfour years. He preached his first sermon at the Little Mount church, in Larue county, in the summer after his ordination, and had charges in all parts of the conference until 1904 when his health broke down, while pastor at Duster, Breckinridge county. Since that time he spent his remaining days in Hodgenville and Elizabethtown. < . He was married in 18 66 to Mites Belle Brownfield, and on the year of the silver anniversary of their wedr ding his wife died. He was married the second time to Miss Minerva Hill. # The Rev. Davenport was at all times an earnest and faithful minister, and leaves many friends in all parts of the state to mourn his death. It is probable that during his long pastorate five thousand persons were converted. During his life he pointed with pride to the fact that while a resident of Larue county he lived for several years in the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born. —Elizabethtown, Ky., News.

President Wilson’s Speech at Indianapolis.

[By Lew Ellipgham.] Indianapolis, Jan. 15.—Strange as it may seem, the republican politicians who criticised the President’s speech fairly stood agast at the rank partisanism as expressed by that speech. Even Charley Bookwaiter noticed it and was. appalled and mortified, .as was also Robert tH> ilryson, wtfo’ quite recently retired as Postj. master of Indianapolis. Theta too, there was Henry W. Bequest" and John B. £ockrum, the great railroad lawyer, to say nothing of Capt. William E. English, whose father was" one of the great men in his day. Even Ex-Governor Durbin dramatically uttered his contempt and said, “the idle factories and the idle workingmen were still waiting for the whistles to blow.” A dispatch has just reached us from Anderson stating that the Anderson Foundry & Machine Works, of which Ex-Gov-ernor Durbin is president, is working overtime with more business than they can handle, and that they are contemplating an addition to the plant. He is more than bitter against the partisan spirit as expressed in the President’s speech. Then Jim Goodrich, he of Argentine corn fame, as well as several other fames when it comes to working the smooth lines of politics and not getting caught, was deeply chargrined because our beloved and gentle President should express a partisan thought. Julian D. Hogate, a republican editor of Danville, is certain that such a partisan speech will cheapen the President, and even Will H. Hayes, chairman, of the republican state committee, deeply regrets that President- Wilson should so far forget his love of, country as to willfully make a partisan speech. .There were others of course, Ralph Kane, of Noblesville, a great political patriot, and the list would not be complete without the name of James E. Watson, the one republican in Indiana, who simply can not stomach anything partisan, especially when it aminates from a democratic president. Now note what the biggest republican business man and manufacturer in Indiana says; J. M. Studebaker, South Bend.— “Viewing President Wilson’s speech from the standpoint of one who cares less for party than for national tranquility and well being, I have read it with a good deal of satisfaction. I like his candor, his mild temper, his courage, simplicity and active persistence. The partisan will receive small comfort from the speech. The progressive of whatever political faith seems certain of an ally in President Wilson. I find great encQuragement for business in what he has done and proposes to do. I think the President has displayed rare tact, in the management of his party, and a surprising degree of influence in affecting the success of his measures.”

We believe that this closes the case and that further argument is unnecessary to again establish the good standing of the President. We might have jncluded Harry New, the republican national committeeman from Indiana, and L. u. Rothchild, former collector of customs for the Fort of Indiana, but what is the use. Shall we vote on the question or take it by consent that J. M. Studebaker is right and that it was a case of sour grapes with the republican politicians who are weeping briny tears for our partisan president.
