The fact has been proven time and again that those who advertise their business and invite the people to trade with them are the energetic, pushing, active business men of the place in which they reside, and that they are the most liberal men with whom to deal. At the same time they make the effort to supply their customers with what they want. Therefore, we urge upon all readers of the News to always consult its columns before buying anywhere. Bargain* arc offered through its columns every week, and these can be learned by examining the pages of this paper. - TiucNews is jn formed that the Milford merchants arc now talking up the “early closing” project. It is the only correct theory on which to do busioess and it will hold out in actual practice. Weiss & Fkkvkrt will have the finest appointed hardware store in northern Indiana when the ZookAuditorium building is. completed. The window frames of the Auditorium have been set and matters begin to look like the real thing. “ THE man who does not believe that this is the greatest age in our country’s history for the centralization of capital ought to know .that the capital represented by the trusts alone Is equal to S.IOO to every family in the United States, or SIOO to every man, woman, and child. T— ‘ : ' Those people at Waterford who believed that the commissioners had no right to grant the electric railway company a franchise to lay its track in the middle of the highway have been granted a temporary restraining order, and the case will be heard on Its merits. The News is still of the opinion that the county boafd has no right to obstruct the highway by Its order, any more than any private individual might assume. , Simultaneously with the invasion of the South Bend papers in Elkhart and Goshen came that report about the poor farm Canada thistles originating with and published by the South Bend Tribune. This seems to have been the entering wedge, as it were, to metropolitan journalism. If the people of Elkhart and Goshen don’t patronize these South Ilend papers now, there Is certainly no hope that they will ever break away from their cow town habits of relying upon their home papers for local news, don’t you know! The News has received a.propositlon of an Elkhart concern for an exchange of advertising space for office material—material at double price and advertising rates at a 50 p.ercent discount. Our Elkhart f£)cnd Is referred to the “newspaper starters” for consolation, for we can give uone whatever. There are plenty of foreign advertisers of medicines growing wealthy off the susceptibility of the country newspaper men who get in a hard row of slumps from the lack of home patronage. We are In receipt of the catalogue of DePauw University for the year just closed. It seems that DePauw has had a prosperous year. About $30,000 was collected, pledged, or bequeathed to the University this last year, for endowments and sustaining fund, in addition to the regular income. The student enrollment was large, coming from many states of the Union, and some from foreign countries. The faculty will be increased. The DePauw estate will be settled soon, adding $200,000 more to endowments. ,Tbe University has really entered a brighter day. Catalogues will be sent on application to the registrar, Greencastle, Ind. AUGUST FLOWER. “It is n surprising fact,” says Prof. Houton, “that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, I have met more people having used August Flower than than any other remedy, for, dyspepsia, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipation. 1 find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Greenes August Flower is a grand remedy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion.” Sample bottles free at J. S. Walters’ drug store. Sold by dealers in all civilized countries.

Bryan is at Warsaw to-day aod so are a great of the faithful. The 16 to 1 campaign has seen its best day, however, and new things will take its place; that is, if the next congress doesn’t tinker with the money question. In that case, there is no telling what kind of a campaign may be sprung on the people by political parties. Sometimes a single session of congress makes or unmakes political issues. The News had a call the other day from an optician—a traveling spectacle man from Chicago. This would go into the personal column but from the fact that the visit was one in which the News man received so much valuable information on how to run a newspaper, and especially how Nappanee could support a daily paper, that it is a subject worty of comment. The peculiarities of some people who travel about selling spectacles is beyond the comprehension of an ordinary country newspaper man. The News man has bad a varied experience with men who sell spectacles, as most of our neighbors know, but heretofore our experience has always cost us something, but gratis information is worthy of note. . Trustee Conrad has published in this issue of the News a statement of the expenditures and tax levies for the year for Union township. The blank form is that prescribed by the new law. The form is open to criticism, as the law contemplates putting matters before the people understandwhich cannot be done and follow the . .blanks which have been furnished the trustees. For instance: Trustee Conrad requires a township expenditure of SI,BOO, while the township pax is shown at 6 cents, only. Thelevy makes up merely the amount needed with what money there is on hand. It doesn’t say so, hut it appears that there are some things on which people must guess to obtain their information, and phis seems to be one of them. The blanks could be made comprehensive and compact that he who rubs may not only read but also understand. A SUBJECT WORTHY CONSERVATIVE THOUGHT. -'• • v j* - There seems to be a general good feeling and. understanding now between seller and buyers as to the early closing hour adopted by the Nappance merchants. At first there selimed to be a disposition on the part of some people to faultfinding. Now, however, when the matter has been discussed up one side and down the other, it is found that the farmer patrons must be credited with the proper amount of intelligence, which some people were at first Inclined to withhold from them as a class. The farmer buyer Is willing to concede everything to the merchant that he would ask for himself. There are exceptions to any rule, and there are to this one, like there is to the matter of early closing. A merchant Is found occasionally who kicks at certain things because certain people are identified with them. They hold to the Idea, long ago laid in the grave of oblivion by progressive business men of this country, that every man should be for himself and the devil for us all. The business men who agreed with one another to close at a certain hour in the evening, did so with their own interests in view and that of the people among whom they reside, simply from the standpoint of right between man and man—nothing else. It has worked no hardship to any buyer for the reason that in cases of necessity the business man is always ready to cater to the demands of any buyer who presents himself at any hour of the night, or any day In the week, not excepting Sunday. But it is a preposterous statement to hold out for a go-as-you-please closing hour because the farmer expects the merchant to have his store open at all hours for fear be, the farmer, may have occasion some night to come to town at a late hour to make a purchase. Farmers come to town after our physicians at all hours of the night, in cases of necessity, and they don’t expect to find them in their offices. They go to their houses and make their wants known, as they do to the druggists. l This works no hardship to the buyer. The success of anything of this kind is in its reasonableness to all mutually Interested. These places of business closing at 8 o’clock every evening except Saturday evenings will not lose a dollar by so doing. As before stated, there is already a general acceptance of the movement by buyers getting stuff an hour earlier. The only way for the merchants to do is to continue on this line, giving the matter a thorough test. If any one man overlaps bis word, let him

go ahead, but attend strictly to business and be will soon get into the babit again of closing at 8 o’clock when the streets are practically deserted except by the townspeople. Milford will introduce the same reform just as soon as Nappanee demonstrates its success. Bremen and Wakarusa will follow as a matter of course, as they do iu everything that Nappanee pushes to the. front as a success. Towds are like individual business men—they watch the successful one and follow him as nearly as circumstances permit. Opinions of Other Papers. Goshen is growing jealous over the assumption of South Bend papers that the latter city is the “whole thing” and the head center of the territory linked by the new inter-urban line. The South Bend dailies have already established “bureaus” in Elkhart and Goshen in competition with the local press, as they had previously done in Mishawaka.— Mishawaka Enterprise. When the opportunity comes again the taxpayers of Elkhart county,if they be wise, will grant the members of the present board bf county commissioners a franchise to return to private life.— Middlebury Independent. The Nappanee News, edited by G. N. Murray, is an unusually bright number this week. Editor Murray has an original way of putting things and his references to court house matters cut like a lance.— Goshen Democrat. Magazine Published In Goshen. The August number of Vie Cookiny Club, and Fact and Fancy, managed by I’icrrc C Starr, and edited by Mary Starr, has been issued. It is published In Goshen and makes a very creditable appearance. The magazine is devoted to foods, cooking, serving, aDd household economics. It .lanow in its. fifth- year, and was recently acquired by its present owners. The front cover has a poster design in colors, produced by one of the best artists In the country. The contents are written by a corps of writers and authors who make a such subjects. —Goshen Times.

This time he has had an “unbitten” family named Perkncy with the hydrophobia. The daughter was supposed to have picked her teeth with a splinter which was contaminated. Now the fact seems to be that the Perkncy family, near Inwood, are all right and not “dogged mad,” as the story runs. Mrs. Misbler, of TinerClty, who is a sister of Ben S. Frazier, saw the near relatives of the Perkncy family last Sunday and talked with them. There Is every reason to believe that the story is a fabrication. The Appetite of a Coat Is envied by all poor dyspeptics whoso Stomach and Liver are out of order. All such should know that Dr. King’s New Life Pills, the wonderful Stomach and Liver Remedy, gives a splendid appetite, sound digestion, and a regular bodily habit that insures perfect health and groat energy.

Miss Glenn Kemper, of Silver Lake, was riding in a row boat with a young man, also from Silver Lake, when a shotgun lying in, the bottom of the boat was accidentally discharged, the charge taking effect in Miss Kemper’s foot. Amputation was necessary and the doctors fear that fatal results will follow the operation. —Hamilton Clark, of Chauncey, Ga., says he suffered with itching piles twenty years before trying DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve, two boxes of which completely cured him.
