A Life and Death Fight. Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester, Iowa, writing of his almost miraculous escape from death, says: /“Exposure after measles induced serious lung trouble, which ended in consumption. I had frequen^ hemorrhages and coughed night and day., AH my doctors said I must soonSlte. Then I began to use Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, Vhich completely cured me. I would not be without it even if it cost *.*>.00 a bottle. Hundreds have used it on my recommendation and all say it never fails to cure throat, chest and lung troubles.'’ Regular size 50c and *1.00. Trial bottles' free at Stearnes Drug Co’s, store.

Our Six Year Old Daughter. Cur little six-year-old daughter had a very sore throat, badly ulcerated, aid coughed almost incessantly. Gave the White Wine of Tar Syrup according to directions and she began to improve immediately and soon got well. Mrs. Groves and I have recommended it to others, and we consider it the , T-jry best medicine in use. Rev. D. H. Groves, pastor M. E. church, Clarksville, Missouri. Sold by Paul Bros, o A GREAT PENSION STATE. Indiana I.eads In Pension Money Received Per Capita. Indiana takes the lead as a pension state. The annual statement of the pension department has just been issued. In round numbers the states drawing the highest pensions are Ohio, with $15,000,000; Pennsylvania, $12,701,000; New York, $12,000,000; Indiana, $10,000,000, and Illinois, $9,000,000. Indiana has 05,000 pensioners, who draw an average pension of a k fraction over $100 per annum. In the l|st Indiana has 225 veterans of the civil war who are drawing the limit of $72 a month, and seventy veterans of the civil and one of the Mexican war who are drawing $50 a month. In number of pensioners and n^yler of high pensioners in the average for all in the st%te, Indiana leads any other state in the Union by a broad, margin. Indiana, with & population of 40,000 less than that of Massachusetts by the census of 1890, receives in pensions $10,443,000 annually, while Massachusetts gets but $5,420,000. Similar comparisons will show that Indiana is the

greatest pension state in the Union according to her population. Commissioner Evans has analyzed the pension apportionment by congressional districts, and that makes a very fair basis of comparison. On .this basis Indiana shows a clear lead, while Kansas comes in a good second. The Indiana pensions run $803,000 per district, and Kansas tuu,000, Among the states at the front are Missouri with $148,000, New Jersey with $312,000 and New York with $352,000 per district. Massachusetts averages $417,000 per district. The average pensions in the live leading states are $l*i0 in Ohio, $120 in Pennsylvania. $142 in New York, $100 in Indiana and $140 in Illinois. Though there is a difference of $14 average between In diana and Illinois,there are over three thousand more pensioners in that

state. The difference in average, however, gives Indiana pensioners H50.000 more per annum. Though Ohio ranks first as a pension state, still, like Illinois, on a basis of population and pensioners,it ranks below Indiana. Indiana was one of the states putting the largest number of men info the field. Among the states of the Union it stood fifth, with New York, j Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois lead-1 ing, and Massachusetts and Missouri following. It put 280,000 men into the ! field, and in partial explanation of the great number of heavy pensioners ( it can be said that no other state in the Union spilled so much blood and participated in as many bloody engagements. Indiana's war history is j written in letters of crimson on the soil of seventeen states. It furnished the first—a member of the Seventhat

Philippi in 18H1—and the last—a member of the Thirty-fourth at Palm Beach, Mexico, May 12, 18t>iV—soldiers to lay* down their lives in this warfare.—Chicago'Becord. A Lima Man's Testimony. I have obtained excellent results from Foley's Kidney Cure. It relieved my backache and severe pain over the hips. It toned upmy system and gave me new vim and energy. I regard it as an honest and reliable remedy for all kidney diseases. If makes no false claims but does what it says when given a fair trial. I certainly recommend it. Wm. Finn, 147 Elida Koad, Lima. Ohio. J. R. Adams A: Son. o Those knowing themselves indeb\cd to me will please call and settle at once as I am in need of money. l‘-b * Fred Smith.
