"NYm. G. Hendricks, the present editor and proprietor, is making a hfjrh'y creditable paper. Mishawaka Enterprise. It would be well to look carefully to all iron bridges during these strenuous times, says the South Kcd Tribune. The heat has a wonderful effect on iron. It caused the breaLasre of some of the supports of th great Brooklyn bridge and travel over this immense structure was stopped for several days until the damage could be repaired. A very slight break in the vital parts of a bridge sometimes weakens the whole structure so that it is in danger of collapsing. Look well to the bridges. Is advertising properly chargeable to tne expense account, or is it an investment? Most assuredly it is an investment. At such a time as it becomes an expense there is something wrong, the copy is not good, the medium is not good, or both are at fault. Judicious advertising brings results. You put your money in the newspaper today, and to-morrow there is a demand for the article advertised. You increase your trade. You make a name for yourself. Advertising has an accumulative benefit. That advertising is only an investment is proven by the way appropriations for it are made up. That farming is no longer the drudgery of lormer years, but a vocation which affords satisfaction and pleasure to those engaged in it, is illustrated by a clipping from the Kalamazoo Telegraph; . Farming is a pretty good business for those who understand it. INever before has it been half so good. It belongs to the region of science and machinery, of skill and foresight. Its opportunities and rewards are richThe old, isolated, narrow, hard, unsocial farming life is passing away. Luxury and social enjoyment belong to tne trolleyized country. It is easier to get the city in the country than it is to get the country in the city. Farming is a liberal and a learned profession; and the man who has the brains for it and a little capital is a luckv man. Numerically considered, the "progressive" democratic party in Ohio is unimportant. At the outside not more than tfcirty persons took part in its convention, Vfhich was held yesterday at Columbus. The meeting place was the bed-room of the chairman, George A. Grout. There were more newspaper men present than there were delegates. A few delegates, being unable to find the meeting place, went to the races, and they no doubt had more fun than did those who listened to the speech, four or five thousand words long, of Chairman Groot. It is encouraging to have this emphasis of the complete detachment of the democratic party of Ohio from Brvan and Brvanism. For what is true in that state will probably be found to be true in other states, including Indiana. The populistic farce is played out. Indianapolis News. THE LONESOME SIX. Replying to the statement of a ocal contemporary that the recently proclaimed views of the Indianapolis Sentinel in support of the new departure of the Ohio democracy has not met with the approval of the democratic press of Indiana,, the Kokomo Pispatch says: The Sentinel has tie almost universal indorsement of the democratic press of the state in its recent utterance on party principles and policies. The exceptions, so far as the observations of The Dispatch extend, do not number half a dozen papers. That tallies with the observations of The Times. The Sentinel's keynote certainly struck a popular chord so far as Indiana is concerned. South Bend Times. Horseless Carriage Here. . An automobile passed through Plymouth Saturday en route from South Bend to Kokomo. It was driven by a brother of Henry Hawkins, the barber, and he was accompanied by a lady. A stop was made just long enough to replemish the gasoline tank at Buck's store. The trip from South Bend was uneventful and was made in good time, r' License to Wed. Marriage' license were issued to Bert Stansbury and Lena Harker, Ora McClure and Lima L. Hess, Charles M. Erwin and Effie Finney, John H. Gebbey and Lillie T. Grossman.

MORGAN REFUSES

DECLINES TO REOPEN CONFERENCE WITH STRIKERS Conflict Will Now be Foooht to the Bitter End and Strike Maij It ExtendedPittsburg, Pa., Aug., 2. The Commercial Gazette says today: 'The Amalgamated executive board last evening received by telegraph a flat refusal from J. Pierpont Morgan to reopen the wage conference where it was broken off at the Hotel Lincoln nearly three weeks ago. The powers of the steel combine in sist in this communication that the only basis of settlement will be on the terms which the financial backer of the combine, Pres ident C. M. Schwab, and Chairman Elbert H. Gary laid down at the meeting with the Amalgamated executive in New York last Saturday. A member of the executive board of the association last night said: 'These terms are denominated by those who have the best interests of the organization of the steel workers at heart as the most unfair, the most unjust, ever proposed to any body of workingmen by a set of employers or a corporation. The terms are such that the executive board of the Amalgamated association cannot accept, and has already gone on record to that effect, 'd ''Tomorrow morning the answer of Morgan is expected by mail. There is scarcely a fragment of a hope that the Amalgamated association will back down from its well known position. The leaders bf the workers will, in reply, outline their plans to the steel corporation for a continuation of the great struggle. They will include the stopping of every wheel possible in the works of the combine and the extension of. the strike in all possible directions by the Amalgamated association. 'Today may develope much, but if the combine cannot be made to waver through the influence that will be brought to bear, the great conflict will probably be fought tothe.bitter end." NO PEACE FOR STRIKERS. Pittsburg, Aug. 1. The steel workers' strike against the United States steel corporation is still unsettled and the status of the contest seems unchanged. The conference of the members of the general executive board of theAmalgamated association yesterday, which was expected to settle th.3 trouble, adjourned at 6 o'clock without accomplishing its purpose and the future is dark. TO CONTINUE FIGHTING That is Kruger's Latest Instruction to General Botha. London, Aug. 3. A dispatch from Stander ton, Transvaal, dated July 5, which had been stopped by the censor, has just been received here. It reads: ''"Walter Kitchener met Louis Botha and his secretary, Do Wet, by appointment near Plat Rand, a few days ago. They brought Kruger's reply to Botha's surrender proposal. It was: 'Botha, De Wet, Delarey, Steyn: Continue fighting. Alleviation will be sent when needed. Enough for the present,' " Oil In Randolph County. Winchester, Ind , Aug., 2. On the farm of Nate Butts, near this city, the Monarch Gas Company, drilling for gas, shot a well, and oil and gas came but in great quantities. When it became settled there was a good flow of both gas and oil. The company thinks the gas and oil can both be saved. Much Booty Recovered. Goshen, Ind., Aug. 2. Private detectives employed by an Akron," 0., banking institution made an important 'arrest in a local gambling den Saturday morning last which resulted in recovering about $16,000 in currency and gold coin. The two men who were captured had rifled a vault in the Akron bank ten days ago and had since been

shadowed. The men, who are said to be residents of Elkhart

county, were taken completely by surprise and were hustled to Elkhart, where the booty was believed to have been secreted. The bank directors from fear of a panic, did not mae the loss publiclv known. At Elkhart the robbers led the way to the outskirts of the city, where they, had buried their plunder. The money was recovered and every dollar was accounted for. The detectives and robbers left later for Akron. The assistance of the local authorities was not asked for. H1NSEY INDICTED Endowment Rank Magnates Held for Per jury in Reports. Chicago, Aug., 1. John A. Hinsey and Henry B. Stolte, former president and secretary, re spectively, of the endowment rank, Knights of Pythias, were indicted by the grand jury yes terday on charges of perjury. Two indictments wtre returned asraint each defendant. The perjury is alleged to con sist in statements made in annual reports of the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, which the defendants, as officers of the lodge, made to the superintendent of the insurance department of the state of Illinois relative to the financial condition of the lodge. These statements are in regard to the amount of deposits in bank, and the value of certain securities. The alleged falsification was, in general, an at tempt to inflate the assets of the lodge in order to make a better showing before the state insurance officers. Capt. John Bird is Dead. St. Louis, Aug., 3. Capt. Bird, who for fifty years has been a prominent figure in river circles, died suddenly at his homo in this city yesterday of heat exhaustion. In the civil war he owned two steamers, the Exporter and the Importer. These did efficient service in carrying munitions of war, and as transports. At the conclusion of the war Capt. Bird entered the service of the Anchor line. For twenty-six years he was general freight and passenger agent of this line. SHOOTING FOR RAIN Bombarding the Nebraskan Heavens With Heavy Mortars. " Lincoln. Neb. Aug., 1. Four miles northeast of this city last night twenty-four mortars, posted on a twenty-acre tract, were fired at minute intervals in the hope that the result will be a downfall of rain. W." F. Wright, former deputy state food commissioner, is the promoter and manager of the enterprise. Wright is the originator of the "special vibration" theory of rain making, and for several years has unsuccessfully espoused a legislative appropriation to put his theory into practice. He says he will continue the bombardment until rain comes, or until he has exhausted his supply of several hundred pounds of gunpowder. Hernly Superseded. Indianapolis, Aug. 2 At a meeting of - the Republican state committee yesterday afternoon the resignation . of Charles S. Hernly, chairman of the committee, was accepted, and James P. Goodrich, of Winchester, was named as hi successor. Mr. Hernly's business affairs at New Castle require his whole attention, and he resigned at this time so that the new chairman might have the advantage ot the few months that intervene between now and the next campaign to become fully in touch with the organization. i i .. i mm Elkhart Pioneer's Suicide. Elkhart, Ind., Aug.,' 2. Henry Heasley,, sixty years eld, a pioneer grocer, committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself through the brain.

LOTTERY CLOSED

NO MORE LAND TO BE DRAWN FROM WHEEL Of FORTUNE Some odd Pieces Will be Left Over for Entru In the Regular Way In the Indiana Domain of Uncle Sam. El Reno, Ok., Aug. 2. The drawing of winning numbers in the United States land lottery was concluded yesterday, 13,000 envelopes having been taken from the wheels, 6.500 for each land district. The crowd around the platform on which the drawing took place was much smaller than on previous days. Begin ning Aug. 0, 125 names in ea h district will be called daily for sixty days for the filing of homestead entries. The estimate is made by a government official that in each land district 1,000 of the 6,500 numbers will not be taken in the sixty days, because of homesteaders who will be disqualified, or who will leave the! country, believing their claims to be worthless. This will leave only 3,500 persons who will make entry in their respective districts. Two thousand claims will be left for the wagon emigrants, and others who have been in tincountry for months and failed to draw a number. At the end of the sixty days these persons cai go immediately to the land office and file, or if they settle upon a homestead in advance of any other person, they can remain thereon three months before fil ing their entry. j - Homestead speculators, who registered for the sole purpose of sellingtheir prizes, if winners, j are already seeking .to sell re linquishments of their claims. HAMMOND'S BIG FIRE Mannfacturing Plant Injured to the Extent of $75.000. Hammond, Ind., Aug. 3. Seventy-five thousand dollars' worth of proporty was destroyed last evening by one of the mostdisas trous fires that Hammond has ever known. At 7'.30 o'clock flames were discovered in the building of the Simplex Railway Appliance company. They spread with such rapidity that in a few moments the entire building was a mass of flames.. The flames then spread to the building occupied by the Western Rawhide and Belting company and to the building of the Hammond Buggy company. All three were soon a total loss. The Hammond fire department was soon helpless, and aid was asked for from South Chicago and Colehour, but all that could be done was to keep the flames from crossing the Grand Calumet river, thereby saving that portion of the city. The SimplexRailway Appliance was one of the city's main industries, and had a large number of orders on hand. It employed nearly 400 men, making day and night shifts. The other two concerns were also doing a flourishing business. The fire was caused by the explosion of oil. Weailhy Kansan Suicides. Olathe, Kan., Aug., 1 J. H. Dow, for more than thirty years one of tho leading merchants of Eastern Kansas, drowned himself in the Memphis railroad lake, near here, yesterday. His body was recovered. Ill health is the cause given- Dow was a thirty-second degree Mason and was wealthy. WINAMAC PIONEER DEAD. Winamac, Ind., Aug. 1. Mrs. Ann M. Hardesty, of this place, aged ninety years, died yesterday from cancer of the breast. She was one of the first white women to settle in Pulaski county. She came here in 1831. Gunning Brought no Rain. Lincoln, Neb., Aug., 3. The two days bombardment of the heavens with gunpowder "concluded yesterday without the desired result, and Lincoln and Nebraska are still waiting for rain. W. P. Wright, the projector, maintains that the guns were not heavy enough nor the charges of

powder of sufficient force to produce the needed agitation of the atmosphere. The intense condition of the atmosphere, as he terms it," requires more force at the present time, owing to the fact that the moisture near the earth's surface is so limited in quantity. Wright , says he will resume operations with improved apparatus in a few days. He is firm in the belief that he has the right theory and has many supporters, but the public generally is skeptical.

Finding a Fortune and Founding a Fortune. A TRAMPS LUCK AND AN ENERGETIC MAN'S PURPOSE. It is perhaps true as told that a tramp, searching a garbage barrel for scraps of refuse food, found a fortune in good United States currency. Such a thing may happen. But the workman who ,ives up a steady occupation however unremunerative to hunt garbage barrels for a forttine will surely degenerate to a tramp. There is a difference between finding a fortune and founding a fortune. Few men chance upon fortunes. The fortunes we know about are not found but founded on a certain substantial basis. The nature of that basis of fortune is well set forth in the advice given by a successful merchant to a young man who asked, "What is the first requisite to making a fortune?" "The first requisite to making a fortune" said the rich man, 'is health." "The idea that fortunes are made suggests toil and industry and skill. Nothing can be made without these. But a weak man cannot toil, and industry is incompatible with ill-health. If you want to be strong remember that all rjhvsical strength ' comes from food and that the amount of Btrength extracted from food depends upon the ability of the stomach to digest food and assimilate its nutrition. The man who takes care of his digestion is, in general, taking care of every other organ of his body.'' I SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH. ' The merchant who gave the above opinion may not have been much of a physician but he was a good deal of a philosopher. He had seen men with success almost within the grasp, break down because of "stomach trouble." He had theorized the saying that the "weakest must go to the wall" into the saying that nthe man with the weakest stomach must go to the wall," because no man is stronger than his stomach. The man who will learn this lesson of success has taken a great stride to his goal. Health is the first prerequisite of success and health in general means a sound stomach and a good digestion. Look at the logic of the matter. Food is a man's life, his strength. Physical life is sustained by food. But the fact 1 that a thing can be eaten doesn't make it food. Many a physician practising in the tenements of a city says of failing men or women, nWhat they need is nourishing food." Shipwrecked men eat scraps of leather, the bark of trees, anything to satisfy hunger. But this is 4 not food in any true sense because it ! contains no nutrition. All food must ! be considered in relation to its nutritive Subscribe for This is Worth Trying piece of Wetmore's Best

mailed free L " value. When the stomach and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased the nutrition contained in food is imperfectly extracted and the body fails of nutntion adequate to 'its needs. The shipwrecked sailor living upon scraps in which there is no nutrition is on a level with the man who eats abundant nutritious food but whose stomach with its allied organs is diseased and therefore fails to extract from the food eaten the nutrition which is the body's need. SOUND STOMACH,' SOUND MAN. That is almost an axiom. The man with a sound stomach and good digestion will in ordinary be a sound man, because the nutriment of food is the life and strength of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys and every organ of the body. The first need of a weak man is to look after his stomach and hu digestion. There is the common seat of phj-sical weakness. How weak men have been made strong; strong of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and other organs L by being made strong of stomach and strong of digestion has been told thousands of times by those Golden Medical Discovery. "I write to tell you ol the great benefit I have received from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Byrnside, Putnam Co., W. Va. "It cured me cf a very bad case of indigestion associated with torpid liver. Before I began the use of ' Golden Medical Discovery I had n) appetite; could not sleep nor work but very little. The little that I ate did not agree with me, bowels constipated, and life was a misery to me. I wrote to Dr. Pierce giving the svmptoms, and asked lor advice. You advised me to try the ' Golden Medical Discovery' so I began the use of it and after taking four bottles I felt so well that I went to work, but soon got worse, so I again began the use of it and used it about eight weeks longer, when I was permanently cured. I took in all twelve bottles of the ' Discovery and seme of Dr. Piercers Pleasant Pellets isx connection with the ' Discover.' n Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures through the stomach diseases which seem remote from that organ but which have their origin in disease of the stomach and its allied organs. There is no alcohol in " Golden Medical Discovery" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and other narcotics. Persons suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consult Dr Pierce by letter, free. All letters held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

There is no similar offer of free medical advice which has behind it a physician of Dr. Pierce's skill and success.
