To-day is cold, and with no fill on the cattle, we weighed again to test the merits of Acme Food.

If people only knew what we know about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be used in nearly every household, as there are few people who do not suffer from a feeling of fullness after eating, belching, flatulence, sour stomach pr waterbrash, caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the stomach, will digest your food, certainly can’t help but do you good. A. F. Long. The Federal Oil and Asphalt Co., have drilled a well on the Faris land in 27-31-5 we spoke of last week, and at a depth of 128 ft. struck the genuine article—oil. Oil men say that after the well is shot, it will in all probability prove a liberal producer. Another well, a short distance west from this first one, has already been commenced, and as the present owners, Messrs. Ray D. Thompson and Warren Robinson, are-well known Rensselaer capitalists who will not stop at half measures, a thorough test will undoubted be made. —Medaryville Advertiser. A heavy hail storm struck this section last Thursday afternoon. In Rensselaer the stones were about the size of peas, but north of town they were of immense size and did considerable damage to small fruit. In many houses window panes were broken by the contact. On the farm of Henry Snow, near Blackford, the stones were especially large, and eleven window panes were broken. His 12 year old son, who was plowing in the field when the storm came up, was knocked down by a stone which struck him in the head. The horses took fright and he was thrown under their feet but escaped without injury.

There is little new in regard to the east and west railroad. The committee appointed to draft a petition for an election has the petition ready to present to the commissioners at their June meeting. The leveling gang for the proposed new east and west railroad passed through town on its way east Wednesday noon. The foreman of the gang showed a representative of the Republican a letter from headquarters telling him to rush the work through as quickly as possible, that the money was at hand, and that the surveyors were needed to begin working the grade.—Winamac Republican.

B. J. Gifford was in the city Monday. He reported that the oil well branch of his railroad would be completed in two weeks. He also stated in conversation that he will proceed with the construction of the Rensselaer line if the commissioners at their forthcoming session will make an order to place the tax which has been voted on the duplicate. The citizens of Marion and Barkley townships have acted in good faith all along in this matter and if Mr. Gifford will show that he is also acting in good faith he will have no trouble in collecting the tax voted him. In the meantime it might be in order for him to show his good faith in the matter by getting to work. There is considerable talk of the construction of an electric railroad from Shelby to Hammond, through Lowell and Cedar Lake. As a franchise has already been procured for the construction of a road from Crown Point to Cedar Lake it is more than probable that the entire western and northern part of the county would be joined in making up the system. The promoters of the sugar beet industry at Shelby are reported as very favorable to a system of electric roads and would doubtless assist in the construction of the same. Their is no reason why the Northern part of Indiana can not have several systems of electric railway as well as the Central and other parts of the state.— Crown Point Register.
