FIVE REASONS WHY

It Pays' To Feed the Acme Food. Ist. It is sold upon merit: 2nd. The most important prizes at the Fat Stock Show in Chicago were awarded to Acme Food fed cattle and horses, which proves beyond question its great value as a finisher and flesh producer. 3d. It is fed for less than half the cost of oil meal and produces equal results, if not better. 4th. It is the only food fed and recommended by Live Stock Commission merchants of all markets. sth. It has never failed to prove on the scales that “It Pays To Feed,” therefore it is a business proposition to the feeder that he is feeding for profit. Thus he stands in his own light when he does not make the addition of Acme Food. _,For sale at Kresler’s Hitch

Still They Come.

Foresman, Ind., March 25, 1901. Acme Food Co., Gentlemen:—l have used Acme Food and I consider it can’t be be beat for stock of all kinds. F. A. Woodin. Foresman, Ind., March 25, 1901 I have used Acme Food for horses and calves for sixty days, and will say that it is a good appetizer. C. A. Mather. Pleasant Grove, Ind., March 23, 1901. I have used Acme Food on horses. I think it very beneficial. It is the best I ever used. Wm. Tanner. Rensselaer, Ind., March 19, 1901. I have been feeding Acme Food to horses. I think it is a blood purifier, a worm destroyer and a feed saver. I would recommend the Acme Food to all horsemen. B. L. Campbell. Surrey, Ind., March 25, 1901. I have been feeding Acme Food to cattle, hogs and horses. I would not be without the Acme Food. It pays to feed it to all kinds of stock. Joseph Lane. Rensselaer, Ind., March 26, 1901. I have been using Acme Food on cows and calves. I am well pleased with it. It is a fine stock food. I would recommend the Acme Food to all stockmen. John W. Mauck. Counterfeits of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve are liable to cause blood poisoning. Leave them alone. The original has tne name DeWitt’s upon the box and wrapper. It is a harmless and healing salve for skin diseases. Unequalled for piles. A. F. Long. “Other People’s Business,” which played here Monday night was the bummiest aggregation that has struck the town for years. Before the con elusion of the second act nearly all the audience had left, but theperfor mance was carried out to the end. On complaint of the truant officer, Jacob A. Zook, of Barkley township, was arrested last week for failure to send his child to school. Squire Burnham fined him $5 and costs, amounting in all to about $22. It is reported that Zook is still failing to send the child to school and that hemay be arrested again. Like Oliver Twist, children ask for more when given One Minute Cough Cure. Mothers endorse it highly for croup. It quickly cures all coughs and colds and every throat and lung trouble. It is a specific for grippe and asthma and has long been a well known remedy for whooping cough. A. F. Long. Tuesday was the 47th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dowler. Their neighbors and friends, to the number of twenty-two, quietly got together and gathered at their home at the noon hour and prepared for a big dinner, to which they all did full justice.- The surprise was complete and a splendid time was had. Mrs. M. B. Alter returned last week from Washington, D. C., where she has been making an extended visit. Her daughter, Mrs. W. W. Watson, and children accompanied her home, but later left for Chicago, where they expect to reside in the future, as Mr. Watson has been transferred to that point by the pension department. The Presbyterian Athletic Club will give an exhibition of their work at the opera house Thursday evening, April 4th, under the direction of Mr. Stallard, the physical director of the club. Besides the athletic a musical program will be rendered. The admission will be 25 cents. Tickets can be secured at Huff’s or of the members of the club. A new three cent piece has been authorized by act of congress to take the place of the old coin so closely resembling the dime that it became necessary to stop its coinage. The new piece is to he nickle, the size of the old bronze cent, only thicker, and in the center is to be a hole one fourth of an inch in diameter. The coin is so designed that it can be distinguished by sight or touch. Prof. Ivison, of Lonacoing, Md , suffered terribly from neuralgia of the stomach and indigestion for thirteen years and after the doctors failed to cure him, they fed him on morphine. A friend advised the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and after taking a few bottles of it, he says, “It has cured me entirely. I can’t say too much for Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.” It digests what you eat. A.

EXPENSIVE DUCK.

Chicago Hunter Violates One of the New Laws and is Prosecuted. The president of the Chicago club was arrested at English Lake Friday for having in his possession a larger number of ducks than the law allows. He had bagged thirty-five ducks, when the law prohibits the taking of more than twenty-four. The fines and costs amounted to about $42.50 in addition for each duck in excess of the twenty-four. There have been a number of deputy game wardens along the lakes and in the marshes of the north part of the state during the last few days. They have been sent there for the purpose of prosecuting offenders of the new law passed by the recent legislature, and to collect the license required now of non-residents who come into the state to hunt. The new law will doubtless have a good effect in preserving the game and protecting the Hoosier sportsmen. Thousands of ducks and geese killed in the northern part of Indiana in re cent years were shipped out of the state. The seems to be another side to Alf Donnelly’s onion bonanza. While he is getting nearly two dollars per bushel for what onions he has to sell now, he will make no money on last year’s crop. The onions failed to keep for some reason, this year and the greater part of his crop rotted in his onion house. But for the high price he would have been a big loser. As it is he will get about enough out of last year’s crop to pay the expense of raising it. The Central Sugar Company, Shelby, Indiana, wants 6,000 acres of beets to supply its factory. A farmer can make from sugar beets at the prices offered by the company, five times as much as from the average farm crop. If you don’t know about this coming industry and its benefits to the community or if the company’s agent has not seen you, write them for literature and information regarding the subject. Address Central Sugar Company, 100 Washington St., Chicago, 111.

The new law that relieves all road supervisors, now in effect, and giving the gravel roads over to the county commissioners who will henceforth look after them, will let out a large number of supervisors in this county. The supervisors were allowed a salary of $1.50 a day for each day’s work. The commissioners will take charge of the same districts they had under the old law, so that the change will cause no confusion. The new law also raises the pay of laborers upon gravel roads from $1.25 to $1.50 per day. The next library entertainment that has been advertized as a “Coon Song Jubilee” has been postponed and the programme will be in charge of Miss Anna Ethelynd Reed, of Chicago. There will be no question as to its merits. The first half of the program will be musical and the latter half “six cups of chocolate,” a gossip in one act by six popular young ladies. Remember the date, Friday evening, April 5, and watch for the program later. Every body should be sufficently interested in the new library of our city to patronize these entertainments. A prominent man who has been south says that during the next month 20,000 negroes will leave the south and come north. He says: “These people do not know the condition prevailing up here. They have been misled by glittering advertisements promising big salaries. I must state that I am not oppossed to the southern negro coming north. On the contrary, I believe it would be a good thing for him, that is, if he has money to care for himself here. The negtQ without a fair amount of capital has no business as far away from his real home as the north is, unless he is capable of mainaining himself independently.” There is nothing that we fight more earnestly than taxation and yet, after all, we get value received and compound interest. What we get for our taxes is figured out thus: A man with SI,OOO worth of property is likely to pay from $lO to sl2 year taxes. For this, if he lives intown, he gets the services of the police for securing quiet and observance of the law; he gets protection from fires; he gets education for his children; officials to look after the sidewalks and streets; the benefit of a court at a nominal figure for the litigant. If he lives in the -country, he gels bridges, roads and many of the above mentioned advantages, also. Sometimes the taxpayer finds it hard co spare the taxes but he would find it a good deal harder to get along without what Lis money pays for.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. Everybody is bored by somebody. No profession is as much abused as the lawyers. How the time drags when one has nothing to do. The habit of giving declamations runs in families. A thin man with a great long beard looks very funny. Laziness is a family trait, the same as red hair or cross eyes. The only way to get on in the world .is by being “a good fellow.” A girl’s most inveterate critic is her brother just older than she is. A baby always retains its interest in anything that it ought not to have. It is a queer thing how many people there are who like to go to funerals. Lots of people get up early in the morning because they have nothing else to do. •'w -w. Lots of fellows play three-ball billiards who couldn’t play if they had a table full. The lonesomest time in all the week is Sunday evening from about five p. m. till eight. “A friend” is a good way to get out of it when you do not wish to give the person’s name. When a baby is squalling the roof off is when its mama does not want the train to stop. It is natural for a woman to forget to bring her overshoes in out of the weather when done using them. One advantage in losing a night’s sleep is that a fellow feels so good when he gets to bed the next night. We have never yet seen anyone start up in business that he did not say he was doing better than he expected. There are no children whose parents do not say they are smart enough to send to school long before they were old enough. One thing is pleasant about the month of March, nobody can tell what kind of weather there will be five minutes ahead. A woman who is not in the habit of washing dishes holds out the dish pan very conspicuously when she goes to empty the, dish water. When a man says he does not want to vote a tax on other people, we want to know more about it before we would bet any money on him. Besides learning how to roll the cigarette pafcer, a cigarette fiend has to learn how to pull the string of the tobacco pouch with his teeth. Just because you see a light in the house early in the morning is not a sign that people are getting up early. There may be a baby in the house. Every man who watches every footstep as he walks along is not necessarily trying to keek in the straight and narrow way. He may be hunting “snipes.”

Drew a Knife.

Charles Cordery was bound over to the circuit court by Squire Burnhaui Monday on surety of the peace proceedings brought by Horace Sayler. Sayler claims that Cordery went after him with a knife and otherwise threatened him, and the evidence seemed to bear out his statements. Bob Goodrich, the saloon keeper, put up SSO cash as security for Cordery’s appearance at the next term of court.

Southern Electoral Votes.

Protection builds southern mills; therefore protection speakers should be scattered all through doubtful southern commonwealths and secure, if possible, the electoral vote of three or four more such gtates for McKinley, the great apostle of protection.
