Such little pills as DeWitt’s- Little Early Risers are very easily taken, and they are wonderfully effective in cleansing the liver and bowels. A. F. Long. Bro. Knotts, of the Francesville Tribune, has been getting out a rattling good paper lately—one that should be appreciated by his constituency.

If you have something to sell, want toTJuV something, have a house to sell or rent, want a job of work or need help, try the want ad column of the Journal. Mrs. E. W. Morris and Wm. Nowels went to Chicago Heights last Friday. They were called there by the sickness of a grandchild, who died after their arrival. The Lake county delinquent tax list covers nearly six pages of the Crown Point Register. Such a li3t is a small fortune for the lucky paper that gets to publish it.

The furniture was placed in the new Wheatfleld bank building Monday. Joe Hammond, the cashier, says that thefixtures are finer than thosejn any bank building in Rensselaer.

A debate has been arranged between the Delphi and Monticello high schools to take plt?ce at the latter town Friday. Superintendent Hamilton, of Rensselaer, will be one of the judges.

Here is the way an exchange very aptly describes a cigarette: “Take a bad cigar, extract all the poison, mix the poison with still more poisonous drugs, roll up in thin paper, hitch an idiot to one end and you have it. Nathan Swisher, of Pulaski county, and Miss Ina Hall, of Gillam township, were married by Rev. Ward, of the Christian Church, at the clerk’s office in the court house, Monday morning. The bridfe is the daughter of Henry Hall. Charles Chipman, son of M. D. Chipman, was married in Chicago about six weeks ago to a young lady of that city. Charlie has passed the civil service examination and is now employed as engineer at the 69th street pump station, in Chicago. A Kansas paper has discovered how to tell a man’s politics when you meet him in a hotel wash room. The republican will wash and empty the basin; the democrat will wash and leave the water stand; the populist will wash in the water left by the democrat.

Charley Porter has purchased a grocery store at Delphi and himself and wife will take, up their residence there Charley is experienced in this line of business as well as in telegraphy. We recommend him to the citizens of Delphi as an honest, trustworthy young man. When threatened by pneumonia or any other lung trouble, prompt relief is necessary, as it is dangerous to delay. We would suggest that One Minute Cough Cure be taken as soon as indications of having taken cold are noticed. It cures quickly and its early use prevents consumption. A. F. Long. A sentiment over the state against the proposed primary election bill is fast gaining ground. As people begin to understand itaprovisions more fully the opposition grows and it is probable that if such a bill is passed it will only apply to the Itfrge cities, where corrupt methods are in vogue, and then only optional with them. Rev. Middleton kindly permitted us to peruse several copies of Manilla, P. I. daily papers sent him by his son Ernest, whom we regret to learn is confined to the hospital with' acute dysentery ana gastritis. The papers dated Dec. 13 were received here Jan. 11th, wßich is fully two weeks quicker than the usual time of transportation of mail matter from there,—Remington Press.

Mrs. Powell Dead.

Mrs. Margaret Powell, wife of Daniel E. Powell . died at the home of her son-in-law, Harrison Warren in Rensselaer, last Supday night, of grip, at the age of 75 years and 9 months. The funeral was held Tuesday by Rev. Royce at the residence, interment taking place ot the Strong cemetery west of town. Margaret Hunter was born in Ireland, April 21,1825. Came with her parents to America when she was three years old and settled in South Carolim. She was left an orphan at the age of seven years. She came with her adopted parents to Clinton county, Indiana, in 1833, and was married to Daniel E. Powell, Oct. 10, 1844. 15he was the mother of thirteen children, eight of whom died in infancy, two having died leaving families—Thomas M., who died in Kansas in 1887 and Belle, in Indiana, in 1888. Her aged husband, with three daughters, Mrs. Harrison Warren, Mrs. Ben Thornton, of Tipton, and Mrs. Sam Clifton, of Fair Oaks, fourteen grandchildren, and one great grandchild survive her.

A Generous Editor.

The editor of the Churubusco Truth is nothing if not generous. He presented Charles Rogers and Miss Mary Johnson with a life subscription of his newspaper, a bed room suite, paid the license, provided the preacher, gave two rockers and six dining room chairs and kissed the bride, all because the couple got married in his office window before an admiring crowd. Pepsin preparations often fail to relieve indigestion because they can digest albuminous foods. There is one preparation that digests all classes of food, and that is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It cures the worst cases of indigestion and gives instant relief, lor it digests what you eat. A. F. Long. Persons who suffer from indigestion can not expect to live long, because they cannot eat the food required to nourish the body and the products of the undigested foods they do eat poison the blood. It is important to cure indigestion as soon as possible, and the best method of doing this is tp use the preparation known as Kodal Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what you eat and restores all the digestive organs to perfect health. A. F. Long. The Goodland Herald’s souvenir edition has reached our table. It is a very creditable edition, printed on heavy half tone paper. It contains writeups of prominent citizens and business interests, and contains many illustrations of persons and buildings. Thh press might be considerably improved, but it is probably as good as could be expec ed in a country office, especially where half tone cuts and paper is used. We congratulate Bro. Kitt on his enterprise. A good citizen is a man who takes pride in his home town, who pays his honest debts, speaks well of his neighbors, takes his home paper and pays for it, who doesn’t squeeze every twenty-five cent piece until the agonized scream of the eagle can be heard a mile down the valley. He will measure twelve inches to the foot every way v will bathe and change his shirt twice a week, and will see that the woman he loves doesn’t have to use a hedge fence for a clothes line or break up ash barrels for fuel.—Ex, W. H. Hamilton, a civil engineer of Goodland, was here Monday on business connected with the proposed east and west railroad, of which G. H. Tenney, of Kendal ville, now deceased, was the projector. Mr. Hamilton is passing over the proposed route. He states that he has organized a company and has the capital in sight to construct the road. His plan is to start at Toledo, Ohio, and build southwestward to the Mississippi. A surveying party will shortly start out, he states. The road as originally proposed would passthrough Rensselaer. One day in midsummer the secretary of the state board of health predicted that five hundred men and women in Indiana, then well, would be dead from typhoid fever before Jannary Ist. The prediction has been fullfllled, and the office has a list of 658 persons in Indiana who were alive and well on the first day of July last, who have died of tnat dread disease since that date. These all died in four months: July, August, September and October. In addition to these 164 persons died from typhoid in November.

Representative Neal intends to introduce at least three bills, which he hopes will become a law. One will provide for better wages for school teachers. “I know of some places,” said he “where township advisory boards have reduced the salaries of school teachers to sl2 a month. “That is a shame and an outrage on the teacher, as well as the public school system.” In another bill, Mr. Neal will try to strengthen the eighthour law, and in another he will require the holders of notes, when giving them in for taxation, to state the names of the payers, so that the assessors may trace this form of property.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is not to be confounded with any of the cheap “elixirs” and “cough syrups.” Such remedies (so called) simply soothe the sufferer. They are mere palliatives. They never touch the root of the disease or cure a chronic cough. Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is a real remedy; at is the prescription of a practical physician, not the preparation of an irresponsible medicine maker.

Cures

and all colds, coughs, and lung diseases. It’s a standard and a staple remedy, and should be kept on hand in every household. ,e About a year ago I had an attack of bronchitis, accompanied by a dry, hacking cough Thi* soon developed into quick consumption. I had heard of the curative properties of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and commenced using that medicine at once. Before I had taken one-third of a bottle I felt better, and in a short time'l was entirely cured.’* W. A. COKER, Allis, Ark **l cau ght a Bad cold which resulted in asthma so severe that I was threatened with suffocation whenever I attempted to tie down in bed. A friend recommending Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, I began to take it, and soon obtained relief, and finally was com. pletely cured. Since then J have used this medicine in my family with great success for colds, coughs, and croup.” S. IIUTTER, Editor KolinJt, Steven's Point, Wit. “I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and did not yield to the various remedies I tried. I had noticed Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral extensively advertised where I had traveled, and decided to give it a trial. I purchased two bottles, and before I had finished the first one I was almost cured, and lam how in perfect health. My work subjects me to very severe weather, but I find that a timely dose of Ayer s Cherry Pectoral acts as a preventive against colds and coughs.” CHAS. HULL, Whortley Road, London, Ont. “Some time since, I had a severe cold and could not sleep on account of coughing A friend at Van Buren, Ark., recommended Ayer s Cherry Pectoral. I procured a bottle, and never had anything afford me such quick relief or a mom permanent cure.” j E WRIGHT, Chester, Ark.

Pure Contrariness.

“I am looking at the last chapter of this novel to see how it ends, before I begin to read it.” ‘‘And *if it doesn’t end happily you won’t read It?” “On the contrary I won’t read it if it does end happily” “Why is that?” “I take a grim sort of satisfaction in imagining there are other persons, even in fiction, who are up against it as badly as I am.” Then the man with the boil on the back -of his neck grinned ferociously and began to read the book, which he had disoovp.red to be a trairedv.

Tales of the Terrible Turk.

The Sultan of Turkey rises at 6, and after devoting the whole morning to work with his secretaries, breakfasts at noon. After this he takes a drive or a row on the lake in his vast park. At 8 he dines, and amuses himself during the evening with his family, listening while his daughter plays on the piano. He is extremely fond of music. The sultan dresses like an Englishman, but invariably in a frock coat, the breast of which, on great occasions, is richly embroidered and blazing with decorations. There are over 400 cooks and scullions employed in the imperial palace.
