OCTOBER WEATHER. H*v. Ulrica Prognosticates for tlir Present Month. Until after the middle of October the indications are for a stormy period. If warm, open weather prevails at the opening of the month such will be the case to a great extent until far into November. >• ^ From the 2nd to the 4th look for a warm wave to pass to the eastward over the country, ending in storms, rain thunder and lightning, with early snow to the north as a probability. Heavy sleet is probable during the first two storms of the month in the central and northern sections. The second regular storm period is from the 8th to the 12th. This period will break up with cold, sweeping gales from the north. A decided change for the warmer will set in on the Kith. The baroineter will fall rapidly at the same time resulting in electrical storms, changing to cold rains with probable sleet and snow to the northward, from about the l*»th to 18th. A sharp cold wave with frost and freexing will bring up the rear of tfie disturbances. About the 20th to 23rd a change to warmer with general return to storm conditions will pass from west to east over the country. Toward the 2«th and 27th more rain and snow will be caused by reactionary storms. The close of the month will be noted for thunder storms and sweeping winds from the north, with high barometer and cold wave. The extraordinary me* terological conditions will be caused by the disturbance of thq magnetic and electric equilibrium of the solar system.

Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as women, and all feel the results in the loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headache and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there's no need to “feel like that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idaville, Indiana. He says: “Electric Bitters are just the thipg for a man when he is all Vun down, and don’t care whether he lives or dies. It did more to give me new strength and good appetite than anything I could take. I can now eat anything and have a new lease on life.” Only 50 cents at Stearnes Drug Co's, store. Every bottle guaranteed. Indiana Schools. i According to the latest enumeration there are 755,698 children in Indiana of a school age, and the state department estimates that fully 75 per cent of them are in school this year. There will be about 16,500 teachers in the public schools of the state, 10,474 of them being in the country districts, 1,430 in towns, 3,286 in cities and 2,258 in high schools. These teachers are employed in 9,755 school houses and earn $4,763,347 in salaries. The average length of the cooling »term in the country schools will be 125 days. In towns the average will be 125 days an$ in cities 178 days. The truancy law last year forced about 12,000 children into the schools and required them to remain alrleast twelve weeks, but a large per cent of them continued after a longer period after once becoming interested. The state legislature expended a total of $9,846,739 on the public schools last year, and this amount, if not a larger one, will be required this year.

Our Six Year Old Daughter. Our little six-year-old daughter had a very sore throat, badly ulcerated, and coughed almost incessantly. Gave the White Wine of Tar Syrup according tQ directions and she began to improve immediately and soon got well. Mrs. Groves and I have recommended1 it to others, and we consider it the very best medicine in use. Rev. D, H. Groves, pastor M. E. church, Clarksville, Missouri. Sold by Paul Bros, o Was Born in Pike County, Capt. Richard H. Williams yesterday filed his bond as U. S. inspector of hulls for this district,succeeding Capt. John H. Thorp. The oath was administered by U. S Commissioner Wartman in his office in the federal building. It is a matter of the greatest satisfaction to steamboatmen and the public generally thatrCaptain Williams has been installed. There is no more competent man for the position. He has a thorough knowledge of the

steamboat business and is kind and courteous but firm. Socially he is very pleasant and lacks none of the qualities necessary to make a first* class public official. Although his appointment is temporary, in effect till a competitive examination is held about 90 days hence, his friends hope and are confident that he will receive the permanent appointment. Captain Williams was born near Petersburg, Indiana, in 1854. He was graduated from the Evansville Commercial col* lege at the age of eighteen and since that time .has been steamboating. He is wpll known on the Ohio, Green, Cumberland and Mississippi rivers and is very popular on these steamers. He has held a captain's license for eighteen years and has built and owned several boats. He was clerk on the Dora Cabler when she was cut in tworby the Enquirer at Cincinnati. —Evansville Journal. A Lima Man's Testimony. 1 have obtained excellent results from Foley's Kidney Cure. It relieved my backache and severe pain over the hips. It toned up my system and gave me new vim and energy. I regard it as an honest and reliable remedy for all kidney diseases. It makes no false claims but does what it says when given a fair trial. I certainly recommend it. Wm. Finn, 447 Elida Road. Lima, Ohio. J. It. Adams & Son. o

How Trusts Lower Prices. The pnly defense that has been made for the trusts by their friends is that they lower prices. This is a very poor support to lean upon as will be shown by the following figures. Recently the American Anti-Trust League had representatives call on_ 500 manufacturers in New York City as to the effect of the trusts on the prices of commodities. The agents turned in reports at the time of each interview, many of them signed by the person giving information. No commodity was discovered as having been decreased in price. The advances range from 5 to 50 per cent. In the list are the following articles which nearest touch daily life: Dressmakers’ supplies, advance in everything from 15 to 25 per cent. More capital needed to carry stock. Envelopes, 40 per cent, and notice out for a further advance. Enameled ware, 50 per cent. guilders' hardware, 45 per cent. ■ Iron beds. 35 to 55 per cent. Brooms, 40 to 50 per cent adoxen. Popper wire, 100 per cent. (’hairs, 25 to 331 per cent. ! Furniture. 25 per cent. Flour, 30 per cent a barrel. Glassware, 20 per cent. Ham, delicatessen, 3 cents a pound. Iron, 100 per cent. Knit wool, $1.00 to $1.50 a dozen. Photo paper, nearly 110 per cent. Plumbers’ supplies, 30 to 00 per cent. Rubber, everything greatly advanced. Ranges, 20 to 331 per cent, and another advance*expected. Shoes, advanced in all grades 10 to 20 per cent. Spool cotton, from 8 to 25 per cent. Salt, 10 to 15 per cent. * Stoves, 25 to 331 per cent. Tinware, from 20 to 500 per cent. Wall paper, 25 to 80 per cent. And thus everything booms upwards except the price of labor and farm products.

^, Good Advice. When that distressing pain seems to grab you by the bac^of the head and neck and your eyes seems fixed on a given point straight ahead, do not make yourself sick by taking drastic cathartics, but take a small dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It relieves the pressure on the nerves, centers of the brain and aids digestion by curing constipation permanently.

The voice of the people as recorded by ballot at the approaching presidential election will probably decide the policy of the nation for the next decade. Every citizen must study the great questions that are to. come before the people. This can only be done through the medium of a great newspaper. Now is the time, therefore, for every voter to subscribe for the best and most reliable newspaper obtainable. The Semi-Weekly Republic covers the whole field, of political news. While it is Democratic, it publishes the news in regard to all political parties without prejudice. Its telegraphic and cable news service is superior to that of any other paper. Its special features are the best. In fact, it is the paper for that large class of readers who cannot afford or do not have access to the daily papers. Attention is also called to The Republic’s Sunday Magazine. Its halftone illustrations are alone worth the subscription price It is made up of special articles by the best literary talent, embracing a variety of subjects of current interest. News features of absorbing interest are illustrated and enlarged upon. For the benefit of the ladies the latest fash

ion* are handsomely illustrated The Republic Sunday Magazine is always Interesting to every member of the family. The subscription price of the Semi* Weekly Republic is $1.00 per year. Both papers are now being offered at the very low price of ILSO for one year. To secure this low rate both, must be ordered and paid for at the same time. Address all orders to The Republic, St. Louis, Mo. Millions Given Away. H is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine, and have tile satisfaction of knowing that it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases of the throat, chest and lungs are surely curyd by it. t all on Stearnes Drug t o., druggists, and get a free trial bottle.

The tlte of So-Called Serum u a Hog Cholera Remedy.' Purdue University Agricultural Experiment station. Newspaper Bulletin No. 7», Sent., a»,.i«u Upon the announcement of the United States Department of Agriculture that it had achieved success in the treatment and prevention of hog cholera by the new serum, it was predicted by the Veterinarian of the Indiana Station, that commercial firms would ■soofi produce a “serum,” and claim it to have all the merits of that produced by the Government. Neither experimental work or experience is necessary for cholera-cure firms to claim success. Recently, we have been informed that such firms are operating in Indiana, and as a result eholera is following in their path and the disease being introduced into herds when it had not previously been in the neighborhood. The Indianaj Station desires to learn of the success or failure of the hog cholera serum treatment in every locality in which it has been tried, and also of all outbreaks of disease which may have followed serum treatment, and we solicit correspondence upon the subject. Reports have also been received that agents of cholera medicines in White, Warren, Pulaski and Fulton counties, claim authority to sell goods recommended by the Station, and agents in Marshall and Kosciusko counties claim to be agents of the State Board of Agriculture. All agents making such claims ip any part of the State are frauds and should be prosecuted. A. W. Bitting, Veterinarian. This Concerns You. For I can tell by the way you walk, you have indigestion. You haven't the firm dignified walk and general air that comes after one is cured of indigestion, as you surely can be by taking Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Get ft at Oliphant Drug Co’s. o
