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.
