By n. n«c. stoops. One Tear, in advance. . .$1 00 Six Months,in advance.. . SO Entered at the postoflloe in Petersburg for transmission through the malls as secondclass matter. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1900. The trusts are still doing business just as if nothing happened, although Hanna says there are no trusts. Most of the people who wanted to reorganize the democratic party at once have decided to postpone setting to work for some three years or so.

Oom Paul is on his way to Europe and the way the nations are watching his course reminds one of the terror shown by sailors of old when they sighted the other Flying Dutchman. The report that the Chinese discovered America a thousand 3’ears before Columbus, is obviously untrue, a» there was not a single laundry in the country when the Europeans landed. Congressman Hemenway will make but few changes in postmasters in the district, so it is said. What will become of all the candidates for postoffice honors who are seeking positions is a question that is now confronting the people. Times do change! A month ago the Philippine war was said to amount to nothing; today it is cheerfully admitted to be absorbing about onethird of the national income and its existence is offered as an excuse for not reducing taxation. President McKinley and the lead* ers of the house of representatives are solemnly discussing the question whether the republicans promised to repeal the war taxes after the election shall be fulfilled in whole or on a plain duty 15 per cent basis. Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, will again issue a requisition for ExGovernor Taylor for complicity in the Goebel murder. Now that the republicans have control ^of the highest coupt in Kentucky, there can be no possible excuse for not surrendering him. Actually, Mark Hanna is now said to declare that no man can have a full dinner pail unless he gets out and hustles for it. A month ago, all a man had to do wAs to vote for McKinley and then lie on his back and let roast quail drop into his mouth —according to Mark. There isn’t much romance left in the world nowadays. A Virginia judge has decided that a woman may be the head of the house if she foots the bills, and a Chicago judge had held that presents given under the influence of love’s young dream must be returned when cupids halts and Hymen blows out his torch. Whether or not Croker is in earnest in his declaration that Tammany will co-operate with Bishop Potter in his efforts to suppress vice, we havi no means of knowing. The probabilities are against it, of course. But when he does offer his aid in° this eminently desirable task, is it well that the bishop should insinuate that he is a liar or should he accept his help a* far as it may go. iNf a recent interview Mr. Bryan had to^say: ‘‘Some of my republican friends,” he said, “have been feigning wonie^ment as to what will become of me when this craze of isms, a , they term the issues, has died out. In order to relieve them of any undue worry, I.want to serve notice that I shall continue in politick in active opposition to any party or doctrine which violates American ideals and the true principles of human liberty

As might have been expected the New York ice trust knocked the prosecution out in the 4irst round. The appellate division of the supreme court on Tuesday rendered a decision in its favor in the litigation begun by the attorney-general to dissolve the corporator) of the American ice company. It has become evident that the fellow who wages war against trusts uses very bad judgment. It should be remembered that this is a government of the trusts, by the trusts and for the trusts. Indiana p x>r asylums contain 3,050 inmates, according to a table of statistics completed by the state statician. Of this number, 1,937 are male and 1,123 are female. Above the age of sixteen years are 2,079, and under that age are 71. The number of j inmates of the asylums that died within the year is 393, and the number of sick received for treatment is 403.

children to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate husband and father. The funeral services were conducted from the family residence Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Charles D. Darling, pastor of the Presbyterian church, conducting the services. The secret orders of which he was a member conducted the burial rites at Walnut Hills cemetery.

At the time of his birth his father was absent participating in the battle of Tippecanoe. April 22. 1873, the father passed from amongthe living. The mother is yet living near Algiers. She is Dutch descent, and was born in Pennsylvania. William passed the life of the average farmer boy. and received but little schooling. On attaining his majority he married and began farming. He has been quite successful in that business, and now owns 901 acres of good land. He was married, March «, 1856. to'Elizabeth Case, and they became the parents of nine children. Mr. Chappell is a Mason and a member of the I. O. O. F.. and I. O. of R. M. In the last named order he holds the office of Great Prophet in the State Great Council. October 13,1861. he enlisted in Company I, Fifty-eighth Indiana Volunteers as tirst lieutenant, and was soon promoted to the rank of captain.

Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce* and they seldom heard of Appendictis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need-a few doses of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the ^matter with you. Get Green’s Prize Almanac. Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom has seen ht to remove from earth to heaven Rev. A. W. Freeman, who for eight years was pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place, therefore. Resolved, that in the death of this aged minister of Christ our church has lost a sincere friend, one who took a vital interest in everything that pertained to the moral elevation and development of our town. Resolved, that we remember with gratitude his many kindly services especially that of his planning and directing the remodeling of our house of worship thus making the interior tasteful and convenient. Resolved, that we recognize in his cultured manners and high literary attainments one fitted for companionship with the truly great of earth: yet the bumble poor were warmly welcomed .to his home and by kindly sympathy and financial £id he lightened burdens and by practical advice and encouragement helped many into broader fields of usefulness. Truly he followed into the footstejs of the Master who went about doing good. Resolved, that we remember his patient and devoted labors with the children and young people of the Sunday school and trust the seed thus sown will be as "bread cast upon the waters" that will yet yield an abundant harvest. Resolved, that while our tears fall and our hearts ache because we will see his face no more on earth yet we should not selfishly mourn but rather rejoice that the angels so gently and without pain bore him aloft to the beautiful home where with his Saviour and his dear companion gone before he is perfectly happy. We trust his pure and unselfish life will be an inspiration to all who knew him. Resolved, that we extend to the children of the departed one. our sincere sympathy bidding them wait with patience until they, too, hear the summon "Come up higher," then with father and mother they will form an unbroken circle in the family of God.

When things are “the best” they become “the best selling.” Abraham Hare, a leading druggist, of Belleville, O., writes: “Electric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have handled in 20 years.” You know why? Most diseases begin in disorders of stomach, liver, kidney, bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence cures multitudes of maladies. It builds up the entire system.
