La Grippe, Followed by Heart Disease, Cured by OR. MILES' HEART CURE.

ft. &

MR. C. C. SHULTS. of WInterset, Iowa, Inventor and manufacturer of thults Safety Whiff etree Coupling, writes of Dr. Miles' Heart Care. "Two years ago an attack of LaGrlppe left xne with a weak heart. I had run down In flesh to mere skin and bone. I could not sleep lying down for smothering spells; frequent sharp darting pains and palpitation caused a constant fear of sudden death, nothing could Induce me to remain away from home over night. My local physician prescribed Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and In a few days I was able to sleep well and the pains gradually lessened, and finally ceased. I reduced the the doses, having gained fifteen pounds, and am now feeling better in every way than I have for years." Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all druggists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money refunded. Book on diseases of the heart and nerves free. Address. DR. MILES MEDICAL CO..

Indiana boys are fighting the measles and small-pox at Havana. The French court of cassation recommends the release of Dreyfus, but declares him guilty. There were i iS lynching bees in the south last year to nine in the north. One southern state had 17. Lieutenant-Governor Haggard, Secretary of State Owen and Aaron Jones have been mentioned as candidates for the republican gubernatorial nomination. Twenty New York banks are figuring to gain control of the entire tobacco crop in Cuba. It is estimated to be worth $25,000,000 under normal conditions, but will be doubled within five years under the new order of things. The city of Frankfort is in arms against the hobo. This pestiferous gentleman has made life miserable for some of the denizens of that town, as well as giving the authorities considerable trouble. An organized movement to boycott him will be put afoot, and it is thought this will have the desired effect. Gov. Roosevelt has refused to restore a man to citizenship who served a term in the penitentiary for violating the election laws. The governor argues justly that a man who has committed a crime against the ballot deserves to live in disfranchisement for a few years after he has secured his freedom from prison walls. The Ladies' Aid society, of Logansport, has incorporated under the laws of the state. The society was recently bequeathed a legacy of $500 and has done much good work among the poor of that city. These societies are doing noble work among the poor and needy in several Indiana cities, and they should be encouraged in the above manner m re frequently. Out in California there is an interesting senatorial fight, in which Ulysses S. Grant is a conspicuous figure. A member of the legislature testified that he was authorized by Grant to spend money and that he did so in many assembly and sen atorial districts. The money that this legislator spent came from Grant's wife as Grant himself never had any money. He married a

Mile Hoerth

daughter of a Colorado senator, Tabor, we believe, and she inherited a vast sum of money. Grant assisted her in the management of her estate, and is now evidently trying to buy his way into the U. S. senate. IS THIS OFFICIAL Last Tuesday a Chicago paper, wnose publisher, II. H. Kohlsatt, is on very close teims to President McKinley, made this emphatic statement in the most conspicuous place of its editorial columns: "The Times-Herald is in position to state that Admiral Dewey is opposed to the United States annexing the Philippines." At the head of the commission Admiral Dewey will have an opportunity to formulate the alternative policy of the United States. What Dewey formulates will come very near being the unanimous decision of the people of the United States.

The llualneflft Man's Version. A business man writes entertainingly as follows: "The business man's life is full of crosses and temptations. He comes into this world without hi3 consent, goes out against his will, and the trip between the two extremities is exceedingly rocky. The rule of conti aries is one of the important features of the trip. When he is little the t ig girJa kiss him. and when he is Ihr the little twirls kiss bim. If he raises a large family he is a chump, but if ha raises a small check he is a thief and a fraud, and is shunned like a Chinaman with the seven-year itch. If he is poor, he is a bad manager; if he's rich, he's dishonest; if he's in politics, it's for pie; if he's out of politics, you can't tell where to place him and he is no good to his country; if he don't give for charity, he's a stingy cuss and lives only for himself; if he dies young, there was a great future ahead of him; if he lives to an old age, he has missed his calling. He is introduced to this world by a doctor, and to the next world by the same process. The road is rocky, tut man likes to travel it." Heveridge Criticised. The Indianapolis Sentinel says that Senator I3evtridge is one of those enthusiastic and sentimental partisans to whom party creed is divine law. lie does not accept it as a command, but as a favor, an inspiration, a (lash of light from the throne. He kneels as a devotee to the sanctified tariff, the sacred gold standard and the holy doctrine of colonial expansion. It is his eligion. He tells ue that 'the American people are consecrated to the divine duty of preserving and propagating free institutions among mankind" by depriving other people of the right of self-government and making them the chattels of our commercial syndicate. It is a lucky thing that lieveridge was not born a Mohammedan. In that case the supremacy of Islam would have been his guiding star, and he would probably have brought on a holy war by this time. Teachers' Institute. Saturday morning joint teachers' institute of North and Center townships opened with a large attendance. A prearranged program was carried out successfully. Mr. Gonter of North township and Mr. Trowbridge of Center township each read a paper on sociology. The comments which followed were interesting and ingenious. Mr. Logan and Mr. Gunder, respectively of North and Center townships, read papers on Plato. Mr. Bryan's book, "Plato, the Teacher," was given a thorough discussion. In the afternoon history, arithmetic, and methods of teaching were considered. The music, both instrumental and vocal, was excellent. A piano had been placed in the soom and facilitated greatly. Lynchers Not Indicted. The special grand jury called to investigate the lynching of Marion Tyler at Scottsburg, Ind., Dec. 24, adjourned yesterday afternoon without, returning any indictments. The jury tiled a written report telling of the work that had been done and concluded with the statement that no evidence could be secured upon which to base indictments. Judge New, wboeummoned the grand jury in special session, is indignant, and says he will continue his efforts to bring the lynchers to punishment. The governor and the attorney-general a ay be appealed to. Death of Jacob (.Imp. Sunday eining occurred the death o Jacob Gimps, one of the oldest citizens of Plymouth, tie was 89 years of age and has lived among us since the year 1831. Born in Germany, he migrated to this country at an early date. His chosen profession was that of ver.eruary surgeon but he did not make this an exclusive vocation. He leaves in this world, one child, Mrs. Frank Sebel, who lives in this city. Sympathy is extended the bereaved friends and relation.

Ney Stevens Find Out What Other Counties Have Gained und L.nt in Invt-stl-gatlnjc Public Documents. Ney Stevens brings home some desirable information regarding the investigation of books in Elkhart and DeKalb counties. At Goshen expert accountants examined the treasurer's books for a period beginning six years previous to the time of examination and the auditor's books for a period of two years previous. It co6ts the county for the experts alone $2,282.57. The in yestigation however brought forth a delicit of 86,339.74 due the county from ex-Treasurer lioumania. When the case was put in court, positive evidence contradicted the accountants in their first statement and lowered the actual deficit to $150.87. Same was recovered in court, Ex-Treasurer Campbell was also held by the accountants for 1,032.35. This case was dismissed by the court and the costs paid from the public treasury. Should the people of Marshall county order an investigation of the books to the year 1871, which is the date entered on the circulated petition, it would not cost lew than iifteen or twenty thousand dollars. The foregoing is an estimate based upon time and money required in the Elkhart county investigation. Experts cannot be hired for less than a dollar an hour. The investigation in DeKalb county revealed startling evidence of fraud. It appeared that the auditor, treasurer and deputy auditor had tormed a cabal for swindling the county. Their game was a clever one. When they made out a warrant, say, for example $2.28, they would write it thus: two 28-100 dollars, but later before drawing on the treasurer they habitually prefixed other figures i i front of the amounts on the warrant. The two 28-100 would become four hur.dred twenty-two 28-100 dollars, and Op $2.28 would be converted into $422.28. The auditor, treasurer, clerk and deputy auditor of DeKalb county were sent to states prison. Such a swindle would be an impossibility in our county, as the commission ers check off the amounts for every warrant which has been issued, on their allowance docket. In each of the above cases of investigation, the evidence against the defrauding otticers was reasonably strong before a petition was put in circulation demanding that the bocks be examined. In Marshall county we do surmise a few cases of dishonesty, but the sentiment has not grown strong enough to assume the guise of an actual suspicion. It would be an act of extravagance on the part of the commissioners should they employ experts. Voting by Machinery. The organization of an Indiana company for the manufacture of voting machines is a sign of the times. The existing methods of voting are primitive, cumbersome and expensive and will soon be abandoned in this and all other advanced counties. Mechanical devices are successfully used in almost all kinds of private and public business. Animal traction is rapidly giving way to me chanical traction. Nearly all of our books and newspapers are now set up by machinery; ten years ago they were set up by hand. The long distance telephone is encroaching on the telegraph as a medium for rapid communication. The cash register and similar contrivances are found in nearly every shop. Hut the most important business of all, to the individual the selection of the men who make, execute and interpret the laws is conducted by the same slow and imperfect methods as were employed a generation ago. Voting by machinery has been tried in New York and other states with excellent results. Laws have been passed authorizing it, and the reform promises to spread over the country as rapidly as did the Australian system a few years ago. Indiana was the second state to adopt the Australian system and it should be one of the first to introduce machine voting. To authorize it will require amendments to the election law, and these should be prepared with great care, and well considered before adoption. No law should be passed in the interest of any particular machine. Certain general requirements, should be prescribea and the field left open so that tba best and most economical instuments may be chosen. We think there is nothing iu the constitutional objection which has been suggested and that the courts will so decide. The constitution provides for voting "by ballot" instead of viva vove. Th? purpose of this provision was to assure secrecy and protection to the voter. This purpose would be better served by machine voting than under the present system, just as it is better served now than under the old election law, where, in fact, it was not served at all. The paper or cards upon which candidates' Dames are recorded in all the voting machines of which we have any knowledge, will, under fair con struction, fall within the definitions of the word "ballot" riven in th standard dictionaries. The courts will no doubt hold, if the question should be raided, that in recording one's choice secretly by a machine one votes by ballot in the sense of the constitution. Indianapolis Sentinel.

Hi Ü HI HI HI Ü Thrown from a Muggy Thursday while Mrs. Uelle Arnold and her mother, Mrs. Cannum were returning from this city to their place in the country the horse driven by them ran away. The animal became frightened while passing under the viaduct on Michigan 6treet and rushed headlong into the embankment in front of the Gibson residence. Hoth of the women were thrown from the buggy. Mrs. Arnold escaped with only a few scratches but her mother was badly bruised. Until a physician was called the supposition was that she had broken a leg. ü The injuries did not prove that bad, however, but she received marks on every part of her body. Want, 111 Salary lucreased. One of the most persistent lobbyists in the senate is the Rev. Z. T. Sweeney of Columbus, whom Governor Mount appointed state fish commissioner. The Ilev. Mr. Sweeney is engaged in the arduous labor of having his salary as finh commissioner increased from $300 to 82,000, and is meeting with but little encouragement. The democrats in the senate will almost, as a man, oppose the bill increasing the salary. Sugar lteet Bounty Hill. A bill introduced by Senator Agnew provides that any person manufactur ing beet sugar from beets grown in the state of Indiana shall receive one cent a pound from the 6tate treasury for a period of four years from date, and onehalf cent for every pound manufactured after the four years have expired. Publishing Hollge Moved. A special from Argos to the Fort Wayne Journal says: "The C. W. Stnckland Music Publishing house, formerly of Huntington, will be moved to this city February 1, including printing establishment. The Itev. C. V. Strickland, head of the house, is a composer of note." A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Consumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take G0tt's muslion of cod Itver oil 'with hypophosphites. No remedy is such a perfect preventive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emulsion will hold every inducement to you for a perfect cure.
