DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK ?

Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable. Almost everybody who reads the newspapers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. !t Kilmer's Swamp-Roct, II the rreat kidnev. liver U iJSrtJ li and bladder remedy. Jt Vt EVCf f It is the rreat medirü cal triumph of the nine's . u r J: l covered aner years ot '!! sHenf if ir- r-ar.-h hv -5 Dr. Kilmer, the emi nent Kianey ana Diaader specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, kidney, biaddr. uric acid troubles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless ioo poor to purchase relief and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. When writing mention reading this generous uusr lil litis (jaci 4iiu send your address to Dr. Kilmer &. Co..Binghamton. N. Y.

Si .50 Six Months, - - .75 Three Months, cash, - - .80 Per Copy, .03 Entered at (he post office at Plymouth. Indiana as matter of the second class. F i:i day, January 23, 1H01. The newly chosen senators from Colorado and Idaho, Thomas M. Patterson and Fred T. Dubois, declared after their election that they would henceforth act with the democrats and take part in democratic caucuses. Alvord, the bank clerk who stole $700,000, has been sentenced to thirteen years in the penitentiary at Sing Sing. Some one figures that this means a salary of $53,846 per year, all of which was paid out in advance. The moral is, when you steal steal plenty. Medical men say that bright sunshine is the best antidote for the grip. That being the case, the advice is in order to allow sunshine to penetrate your premises. Pull up your window shades and let the sun have full play, even if it should happen to slightly fade your wall paper. Health goes over everything else. Appearances should be a secondary consideration. Sunshine is pronounced the best disinfectant known to the scientific world. One of the things that will come to pass in this country during the new century will be the enactment of a pretty steep inheritance tax. Public sentiment is shaping up for such enactments. That method of gaining revenue has been in vogue for several years in the state of New York, a commonwealth that has more rich men within its borders than any other state in the Union. The inheritance tax is popular with the masses. Much that is usually said in opposition to an income tax fails to hold good as objections to an inheritance tax. The point is made that the government waits until the creators of large fortunes have finished their work before coming in for a part of their accumulations. South Bend Times, OIIJECTION TO SCOTT'S It 1 1. 1.. The Scott amendment in the Nicholson law requiring applicants for saloon license to present a petition bearing the names of twothirds of the voters may not be desired by the temperance people, but the objection that was made to it by a temperance worker in Friday's Sun does not, it seerrs to us, hold water. No matter if it is a relic of the Baxter law, which didn't work in its day. Conditions now are not what they were then. The antiliquor forces are stronger and the other temperance laws are fai more stringent. Scott's amendment does not, as we understand it, contemplate that applicants shall be relieved of publishing notice of application. The Sun doesn't care a snap about the amendment except that it seems out of reason that all the work and responsibility should be placed upon the tax-payers. It seems unjust that a whole ward should have to bestir itself in order

that one man may Y)e prevented

from an immoral business. The lojric of the situation is that the ap plicant, not the people, should he placed on the defensive. The present status eems paradoxical in in the face of a maprity-tule gov ernment. It strikes the unbiased man that the legislature had heiter devote its attention to drug stores instead of saloons, however. Indianapolis Sun. J A MP. A. MOUNT. The death of James A. Mount was announced but a few hours after he laid aside the onerous duties of the executive of Indiana, and w hile he was art anging toreturn to his farm in Montgomery county. His death was caused bv apoplexy. It was a great shock to the people of Indiana. Ciov. Mount was a man of excellent judgment and in matters non-political, a man of the very best intentions. His partisan prejudice precluded the possibility of his ever attaining to the loftiest statesmanship. He wanted to do right by the people of the state, serving as conscientiously while governor as he served when trustee of his township and later commissioner of his county. Gov. Mount was a prominent member of the Presbyterian church and a director of the Winona assembly. It vvill be remembered that Gov. Matthews died from the same cause two years ago while making a public address. Gov. Mount was called within an hour after he had finished a public address. Overwork is given as inviting the apopleptic stroke in each instance. TO All IIOMK PAI'KICS. .Mr. XeUkerN Itill Cnnt'eruiuj; County Printing. Clay W. Me-taker, representative from Marsball county, will introduce an amendment to the county and town ship reform lawj in the bouse shortly which will be of deep interest to the newspaper publishers of this state. Mr. Metsker is editor and proprietor of the Plymouth Independent and a member of the house committee on printing. The amendment which Mr. Metsker will introduce provides that the bids for county printing shall be in the hands of the county officers and that they shall be contined to the newspapers published in the county. The lowest bid shall be accepted and the appropriation for the county printing will be made by the county council the same as it is at the present time. In discussing the proposed amendment Mr. Metsker said: "The purpose of the amendment is to give the newspaper publishers of the state a chance. As it is now they are completely barred out. The large printing firms of Indianapolis have the advantage and there is no use for a newspaper publisher to bid at the present time. When the bids for the county printing were advertised for in our county the newspaper publishers there offered bids at what they considered below cost, but they were beat at least $30 by one of the large Indianapolis firms. In justice to the newspapers I believe this amendment should pass." Mr. Metsker also believes that the law should be amended to the effect that all blanks should be printed for the particular county in which they are used. This would make it necessary for the name of the county to be printed instead of a blank space being left in which to insert it in writing, lie says this woulu prevent the wholesale printing of these blanks and having them in stock to distribute to the counties when the bids for the printing are awarded. Another bill Mr. Metsker will introduce provides that the county council shall be obliged to publish the council proceedings in at least one daily paper of the county, if there is one, and if there is not, in the weekly paper; that the county commissioners shall publish their proceedings in the two weekly papers of the county having the largest circulation and that the city treasurer shall publish an annual itemized statement of the finance in a daily paper, if there is one published in the county, and if not, in the weekly. Indianapolis Sentinel. Election of Senator. United States Senator James McMillan was formally declared Jan. 17 re-elected to succeed himself. The Tennessee legislature has elected Congressman E. W. Carmack, of Tennessee, United States senator to succeed Judge Turley. Henry K. Burnham, of Manchester, was formally declared Jan. 17 elected United Slates senator from New Hampshire to succeed W. E. Chandler. Thomas M. Patterson, lawyer, editor and politician received ninety-one vote in the join session of the Colorado legislature Jan. 17, to eight for Senator Wolcott, and was declared elected. After ex-Senator Frederick T. Dubois, silver republican, had been elected to the United Statea senate by the Idaho legislature, he made a speech declaring himself and Senator Holtfeld democrat! in the future.

ORPHAN OF THIS STATK.

Work of Finding Home for Them ; On. In his annual report i-ecietary But ler, of the board of state chanties, devotes considerable space to the work that is being done throughout Indiana in the care of orphans. There are now in family homes, 2.318 children subject to visitation of the agents of the board of stare charities. These have been so placed by orphan's homes associations since May 31, lb'Jö, and by the state agents since April 1, 1&U7. The associations placed 1,530, the state agents 400, and 235 were placed by relatives and friends of the children. On Oct M, l&W, there were present, in the county orphans' homes, 1J05 children. During the last year there were received from all Bources 1,371 children, of whom 1,N7. had never been in the orphans' homes previously and 505 were readmissions. The children discharged numbered 1,453, as follows: Five hundred and nineteen were placed in the family homes by the association; 203 by the state ageucy; were restored to parents by the associations, and 7 by the state agency; 5 died, and 182 were discharged for other causes. This leaves 1,1)2? in the homes at the end of the year, a gain of 21 in the number maintained at public expense in the orphans' homes. "The board of state charities believes that these dependent children should grow up in family hmes and learn to live life as it is. The orphans' home is valuable as a place in which to prepare children for family homes; but it is not desirable that children grow up in such institutions without adequate knowledge of the conditions under which they are to live when they start out in life for themselves." The board has found by experience that it is much easier to obtain homes for children under live or ten years of age than for children between those ages. Official Mourning at Culver. Culver, Ind., Jan. I8.-C0I. A. 1 Fleet, commandant of Culver Military academy, issued general order No. 6 yesterday, relative to the death of former Governor Mount, as follows: "It is with heartfelt sorrow that the superintendent announces to the corps of cadets the sudden death of oz-Gov. James A. Mount, of this state, the warm and steadfsst friend of the acad emy and its cadets, and in token of respect the post Hag will be displayed at half staff tomorrow from reveille until retreat, and a salute of seventeen guns will be fired at intervals of ten minutes, commencing at 8 o'clock." To Eliminate False Registry. A legislator in Indianapolis wants the state legislature to enact a law compelling everyone arrested on a criminal charge to register under his true name, and making a false register a criminal oirense. Lhe law would also make it a punishable offense for an oäicer of the law to allow a man to register falsely provided the oilicer knew euch registry to be false. This would end the days of ''John Doe and Richard Koe" in police court those two laithful persons who have been made to answer for every crime in the calendar on the police court slate of the world. TI10 'e w iame Law, The bill for a new game law has been prepared by the dputy fish commis sioner, and several men prominent in preserving the game of the state, and is now in the hands of Ex-Speaker Frank E. Littleton. It makes only two im portant changes in the present law, one of which provides that nonresidents of the state hunting in Indiana shall pay a license fee of $25 a year and affixes a penalty for hunting in October and until the game law season opens, on Nov. 10, with but a special permit from the fish and game commissioner. A Huge Mistake. Farmers who give up their local and county papers for dailies printed a hundred or two miles away are making a huge mistake and they will find it out to their sorrow later on. The crushing oat of the country pa pers would leave the farmers without any reliable champion. The great dailies are counting on smothering the country papers by means of the rural mail delivery. It will be a sad day for the farmers if they succeed. The country paper is almost always honest. This cannot be said of the great dailies. Warsaw National Union. Will Try to Change 1M1I. A bill has been introduced in the legislature by Mr. Scott to amend the Nicholson law and provides that an applicant for a liquor license must obtain the signature of a majority of the vot ers In his ward or township to a peti tion asking that license be issued him. This would put the burden upon the saloonkeeper instead of on the remonstrators, as the law now stands. 1'aasenger Car ('ate hen Fire. The smoking car on the L. E. it W. passenger which is due at Plymouth at 11:59 p. m., caught fire between Rochester and Argoa Jan. 17, and the train was delayed a half hour in consequence. There was considerable damage to one end of the car. Trading- Mtamp Concern Will Otilt. ' The Valparaiso Trading Stamp association has announced that it will close Its trading stamp business in Valparaiso on Jan. 31, 1001. Later they will close up in Plymouth. Truancy Law Amendment. A probable amendment to the truancy law this year will provide that a confirmed truant shall be committed to the Plainfield reform school. This is regarded by some as a radical measure. btaU Superintendent Jones recom

mends it and he finds that many educators endorse it. He linds endorsement from Superintendent Charlton of the reform school and from men talktd of to succeed Mr. Charlton. Another proposed amendment will give the trustee the power of a truancy officer, but will not do away with the truancy ollicere, only supplementing his duties.

KKsTOKKD TO I.M'.liKI V, (overnor Mount's Last OHicinl Ai t Wu to I'artloii Ttioma-t IMooiii. Thomas liloom, who was convicted of manslaughter in the Huntington circuit court two years ago, having shot and killed James 15e69, an oil well driller, whom he found near his barn one night, wat p-rdond by the late Governor Mount, that being the executive's last act. Illoom was sentenced to live years in the penitentiary, and the penalty was considered by many unjust, as he merely shot a thief who had for some time been raiding his premises. Mr. Uloom is a man who stood high in the community of Warren, where he long ha 1 made his home, and the parole is generally approved by those familiar with the case. llij; Figure. Isaac IJrown, the "bird and bee" man, has written a letter scathingly rebuking the people of Fulton county because 30,000 quail were slaughtered there last year. Among other thingt? he said: "Suppose you had extended your poultry yards over your farms and treated those3'U00 quail as humanely as you have your chickens. What would have betn the probable rtsult? Next spring 15,000 feathered, whistling bridal parties; 15,000 pairs of rnerried happy little (Jod-niade machines luk ing for homes in your orchards and fields in which each couple might raise fifteen little children. Think of it, good farmer! 225,000 children each eating a wire worm, llt-seian 11 y, coddling moth or circulo a minute, 13,500,000 an hour, 101,500,000 in a seven-hour day, 1,155,000,000 a month. Did you raise anything this year except corn that was not alTected by inserts? Is it not high time that we begin to see that 225,000 quail are worth at twenty cents each, 845,000 as poultry V" rrrett Will Lea City. At the close of the evening service Sunday at the U. H. church, Uev. Mr. Powers, who had occupied the pulpit, asked the audience to remain a moment as he had an announcement to read. He then read the resignation of Uev. U. J. Parrett as pastor of that church, to take effect on that day. It was a great surprise to the audience and many expressions of deep regret followed. It is understood that the membership was expecting that a change in the pastoral relation might occur, as they had been apprised that the pastor's salary was not sullicient for his maintenance. He received a call to Elkhart and preach d there Sunday. The church at that place is large and llourishing and will be a more extensive field of labor. There is a general rezret among the people of the city tht Mr. I'arrett has thought it best to go elsewhere. A Hie Haul. The Topeka Advance tells of a farmer in that locality who went into the woo is the other day to get dry fuel and he got a better load than he expected. He saw a giant elm stub on tne edge of an icy marsh, cut it down and began to cut it in lengths. Soon he felt his ax strike something soft as it broke through the 6hell of th stub. Thinking that a bear might be inside, he proceeded cautiously, using wooden wedges to split the stub apart. When the hollow, dry log fell in halves there in the cavity lay eight fat coons snugly housed away for the winter. Further up the truuk were two more coon?, while in the stump was a filty-pounder, the biggest and fatteßt ot the lot. The lucky farmer thus got besides a cord of dry wood, over 300 pounds of coon meat and eleven coon Bkins. DaniHgeH Tor Dog Kite. The appellate court has made absolute a judgment for S200 awarded by the Laptirte circuit court to Frank Fohey, an iceman, on account of injuries received from a vicious dog. Fohey was pulling ice into a customer's refrigerator, when the dog broke the chain which fastened him and inllicted injuries which the plaintiff estimated at $1,500, but the jury considered 200 the proper figure. The action was commenced in March last. The case was tried in September and resulted in a verdict of $200. The defendant appealed. Mayte r-MrKIrath Wedding. Chas. E. Slayter and Mrs. S. It. McElrath, but former residents of this city, were married at the bride's home on Washington boulevard, Jan. 8, 1901, although their marriage was not announced until Sunday. The bride is the widow of the late Dr. Marion McElrath and a beautiful and accomplished woman, while the groom will be remembered as our hustling south side druggist. They will make their home in Chicago, where Mr. Slayter is employed by a large wholepale drug supply company. Koulli Itend IIa I.nrge Hope. South Hend papers claim assurance of a new manufacturing industry, larger than any at present being worked and which would employ over 2,000 men. No particulars are given. The Tribune of that city also pays that it is understood that the Kimball piano factory will locate there during this year. To Cure a fold In One lny. Take Laxative Promo Quinine Tablets.

Residents of Teeparden, this county, are excited over the development of thive caees of smallpox in the family of Dr. Neville, of that place. Dr. Neville, the tirst member of the family to be stricken, has eo far recovered as to be out of danger, but Mrs. Neville and a daughter are now seriously ill. Aa far as can be learned no other cases have been reported, but several persona have been exposed. Concerning the Century. Some of the peculiarities of the 20th century are beinp figured out. Among other things discovered is the fact that it will contain MfiZ'J days, which lacks one day of being exactly 5,218 weeks. The dy of week that will not occur as often as each of the ethers is Monday. Fifteen out of the hundred years will begin on Wednesday ana the same number on Friday. Fourteen will begin on each of the other days of the v,jek. These things will interest the present generation more now than they will at the end of the 20th century. Marshall County Farmers' Institute. The Marshall County Farmers' institute will be held in the opera house Tuesday and Wedueeday, Feb. 12 and 13. The program contains the names of some of the best farmers and ablest speakers of the county and an excellent meeting is anticipated. The ladies will hold a special session in the Presbyterian church on Wednesday, Feb. 13, with features special for the farmei's wife. Nobody knows all about it; and nothing, now known, will always cure it. Doctors try Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, when they think it is caused by imperfect digestion of food. Von can do the same. It may or may not be caused iv the failure of' stomach and bowels to do their work. If it is. you will cure it; if not. von will do no harm. The way, to cure a disease is to stop its cause, and help the body get back to its habit of health. When Scott's Emulsion ot Cod Liver Oil docs that, it cures; when it don't, it don't cure. It never docs harm. The genuine has this picture on it, take no other. If you have not tried it, semi for free sample, its agreeable taste will surprise you.
