The Worst Form.

Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel good all over. Mrs. Oranflll, of Troy, I. T., writes: For a number of years I was troubled with Indigestion and dyspepsia which grew into the worst form. Finally I was induced to use Kodol and after using tour bottles I am en•j tirely cured. I heartily recommend Kodol to all sufferers from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals. It digests what you eat. A. F. Long.

ALONG THE YUKON.

A Rose Lawn Boy Describes His Experience In the Klondyke. HOW THE RIVER BROKE UP. By the middle of April the small creeks began pouring water into the Yukon, under the ice. By the end of the first week in May a row boat could be run for miles along the edge of the river, between the thick ice and the bank. Every one was speculating on and watching for the break up of the ice. Ou May 22nd about sp. m. there came a sound as of an approaching rain storm. I hurried to the cabin door, which overlooked the river and saw a huge cake of ice a quarter of a mile long and half as broad loosen from the lower end of the island, above town, and slowly swing down stream across a stretch of open water, crash into the ice river, and then slowly, easily, gently, the whole body of ice moved downward. It went smoothly for a half mile then caught on a sand bar below town and jammed, stopping except on the opposite side, where a stream a hundred yards or more wide continued on its way for an hour when it jammed again and stopped entirely. The water raised till about eight when the ice gave way again, and slowly, irresistably moved onward.

It pushed and piled up trn the banks in great cakes of ice from three to five feet thick, while in between flowed a river of broken ice with a steady grinding roar. Great patches of ice turned in graceful, stately curves as some point met resistance and slowly turning to the center joined the main current again. Now the river clears of ice; the water becomes more open. There must-be an ice jam above. The four steamers across the river are trying to work their way into Squaw creek. The smallest one succeeds and disappears around a bend. The “Oity of Chicago” gains ground. Hark I There is a deeper roar as the ice above frees Itself and.rushes down faster than before, grinding, twisting, turning, plunging, working, groaning. A dnll thud floats to our ears as a large cake strikes the steamer’s hull. But the water still raises. It creeps up the bank inch by inch. Now the Chicago pushes ahead. Just as she gains the shelter of the creek bank a whole field of ice bumps into the “Muokluck” forcing her up on the bank. In a minute it is gone and the steamer swings out into the water again. She swings round with her nose up stream. The men push and heave at the windlass and she gains foot by foot, /or they have a line fast to a tree up the creek. Now her stem is in the creek, her bow gets into clear water. The ioe thickens in the river. It crowds and grinds cake on cake. The current is double what it was two hours ago. Here oomes another ioe field. It hits the stern of the Muckluck and swings her across the creek, but now she is safe. And none too soon for the ioe piles up in a chaotic heap just where the steamer was a short time ago. So it rushes on for a time, when the speed of the ice decreases and it piles up on the shallower side. The roar is not so loud now. It hs« become the sound of heavy falling rain or a lively breeze in the forest. Drift wood dots the surface here and there. A minature ice burg is forced up, up, up. It hesitates for a moment then drops easily, quietly down, down from sight, leaving a big bubble on the water. A little boat floats by. It will carry no more argonauts in search for an El Dorado.

What a terrific power that river and ice represents as it steadily moves onward, downward. It makes me think of the stream of years that rolls thro’ eternity. All thought of time has been absent from my mind. It is midnight. The light of a new day reddens the sky. The fading red of sunset lingers near by. Only a few mountain peaks separate them. Near me .a circular cake of ice forty feet in diameter turns on edge and rolling over like a wheel sinks into the icy, waters. I turn from the door aud spreading my blankets on the floor am soon asleep. A Prospector.

Our Nan About Town

Discourses on Many Subjects and Relates Sundry and Other Incidents.

Among the passengers on a Monon train coming from Chicago the other day was a gang of jolliers and a Barkley township citizen who wore jean trousers and had other marks of the hayseed about him. The jolliers were talking about gags and how easy it is to work them on the unsuspecting Reubens. “Gents,” said one, “I have a little scheme that has never failed. It is called the ‘Gold Brick Refused’ and may be worked on 99 farmers in every 100. I’ve made a study of the farmer from head to foot and I know him like a book. You all see this watch? It cost me S6O. If it had Waterbary works and a plated case and was worth about $2.991 could sell it to yon farmer in blue jeanß that just passed into the smoking car from this one. As it is straight goods it would scare the farmer to death to offer It to him for $6.”

“I think he’d snap it up,’* observed one of the boys. “That shows you are not posted. I’ll bet an even ten that I’ll offer this watch for a V and he will take me for a fakir and refuse to invest.” After some hesitation the stakes were put up, and, followed by two of the party the trick-worker proceeded to follow up our friend. The supposed Reuben was resting one cow-hide over the other and scanning a paper he had jnst purchased from the “news butcher.” “My friend,” began the trickster with a bland seductive air. “I have met a misfortune, and am obliged to”— “Hain’t got no money to give away,” interrupted the farmer. “I do not ask oharity. I have a fine watch here, which I wish to dispose of for cash to relieve my temporary embarrassment.’ ’ “Don’t want no wateh.” “Bat let me explain. Here is a fine timepiece worth |6O which I will sell for |6. Take it and look it over.” The farmer hesitated a moment then took the time-engine in his horny paw.

“I don’t claim to be the sharpest man in the world,” he said at last, bat Ido hate to be taken for a hayseed.” “My dear fellow, no one takes you for a hayseed. I simply want to sell yon my |6O watch for $6.” “Oh, that’s all, Is It? Wall, guess I’ll take yon.” He dropped the watch in his pocket fished up a greasy |6 bill and continued: “Half the wheels may be gone when I come to examine It, but a fellow most take some ohanches in this world.” Then the yonng jollier turned rad, white, bine and green in almost a second. He stuttered, stammered said that it was all a joke, but the “hayseed” smiled and road on oalmly. He just kept the watch and the Jollier found that he still had something to learn. He went baok quite crastfoUen. If he had only known that one of the Crowd knowing that be would likely spring the joke and having an aoqualntanoe with the ••hayseed** put him on before they got on the train bis ooofldlng heart would be still sorer.

THE TROUBLE IN NEWTON COUNTY.

A breezy inoident was that whioh occurred the other day in the office of a Polak, Louisiana, newspaper. The men called to force the editor to retract something that he had printed. Shooting began promptly, and as a result one of the visitors is in jail, another is In the hospital and the editor is still making copy at the old stand. The power of the press is bound to prevail even in the benighted south. V “Yes, unfortunately,” said alooal teacher to a primary class in geography, “about three-quarters of the earth’s surface is oovered by water. So, you see, there is comparatively little land for us to travel upon after all.” “Oh, don’t worry about that,” said a little girl confidently, i'my papa and President Roosevelt will put it all right as soon as they get time.”

They sawed off his arms and his legs, they took out his jngnlar vein, they put fanoy frills on his lungs, and they deftly extracted his brain; t’was a triumph of surgical skill, such as never was heard of till then; t’was the subject of lectures before conventions of medical men. The news of this wonderfrtl thing was heralded for and wide; bat as for the patient there’s nothing to say—be was an editor and conldn’t have died. V One of the local beaux who has been having a great deal of trouble with his girl who ia a bit of a flirt received an annonymoos note whleh contained the following good advice: “Dear Friend—Never give up; it’s a long lane that has no turn, and faint heart never won fair lady, as poor Richard or somebody else onoe said. Hero’s a bit of clipping which tells about another fellow’s tragedy. Maybe there’s a hint in it for yon. Read the posteorips any way. ‘He asked fair Maud to marry; by letter she replied. He road it, she’d refused him; he shot himself and died. He might have been alive now and she his happy bride, if he had road the postscript upon the other side. V The Town Philosopher took a fresh chew of tobaooo, hitohed np a suspender and then “let go” of the following: “Let us have all the self-culture we can get, bat let it not be without the law of service. There is no form of selfishness so impulsive, so hard, so cold and desperate, as that found along with self-culture when it does not open Into and become one with benevolence. There is-a good <Wi n* it abroad, and its Arotic chill Is not frequently encountered. Better ignorance, better untaught Instinct, than self-oulturo, when it ends with self. V The other day a really communicative and Intereating hobo oame strolling Into town over the Monon road. While waiting for the train we “draw him.out” and jotted down a few of bis views feeling tbal.possibly they would roadm in particular and humanity In general if they ware put to cold type.

“Wot I’d like ter see is de railroads wid newmatio tires, sos a feller cup travel, widout gettin' de rumpetybumds ov civilization. Tain’t arlsteroratic ter have yer jissard Jolted Inter yer skylight. Den wen I strikes a burg I’d like ter be writ up In de papees an’ have my pedigree put afore de publio eye. Den Pd like ter be a prophertsosl oud tell w’ere de next pokeont was a waitin’ fer me, sos we cud git tergeder at the earlles’ opportunity. Den I’d have all de water tanks along de route filled wid lava and de coal bunks wid punk, an’ I’d have mooshilage poured down de draok sos de gravel wudn’t oemect wid yer visage w’eu yer bummin’ de draoks er de rods. Den I’d like ter have de faolety uvinwislbility (I foun’ dat in de dltohinnery) sos I oud sit In de eaboose wid de brakees an git seoond from delr pipes widout bein’ tol ter hit de grit. An den fer de las’ t’lng ter make me pairadice complete I’d like ter see de legislator give all de worn out bums a pension an’ approperate money fer a home of der aged. Daf s all. I don’t want deers.” V A party of girls were having a oonfab down on the corner the other

evening after school. Evidently one of them was seriously displeased. “Why weren’t you invited to the party?” one of the hearers asked. “Why? the spiteftil thing! I don’t know.” “The So-and-so girls were there.” "1 know it, and they are the meanest, most gossipy girls in town. They Just never have a word to say but what they say it wrong. I just guess I'm every whit as good as they are any old day.” She wondered why the other girls laughed at her at this point.

PROCURE YOUR LICENSE.

Nlmrods Must Obey 6ame Law Now In Effect. Beginning with October 1, and continuing until November 10, it la unlawful to hunt any and all kinds of game in Indiana with the ezoeption of squirrel and water fowl, and those only with a permit from the game commissioner. Under the statutes road supervisors are made oonstables, who are instructed to see that every man who carries a gun has a license upon his person from the game commissioner. The supervisors are liable to a fine unless they comply with the law. A license may be had by a resident of the state on application to the game commissioner, without cost ;by a nonresident of the state upon application to the county clerk upon payment of (26.60. In this district licenses may be scoured through the deputy game commissioner. Commissioner W. T. Smith reoently stated that all those who had secured licenses and had lost them could secure a duplicate by making an affidavit before a notary public pand ay lug a fee of twenty-five oents for reissuing the permit. A license should always be carried whep hunting. Otherwise the party Is liable to arrest aooordlng to the provisions of the law. I* stands alone* it towers above. There’s no other, If* natures wonder, a warning poultloe to the heart of mankind. Suoh is Hooky Mountain Tea. 36a. B. 9. Fendlg.

A Loyal Republican’s Opinion. A Newton oounty Republican, writing to the Goodland Herald says: “It is now less than a month of the time designated by law for holding the usual November election, and it seems tome that the Republicans of this county should become interested. With very few exceptions, there is no oause to anticipate a falling off of the usual majority in flavor of every Republican candidate. It is a regretable fact, however, that, influenced by selfish and unflair motives, there is an attempt on the part ofa few to carry a part of the Republican votes in the interests of Democratic candidates. The attempt will prove a signal failure. Every candidate on the Republican tioket will be eleoted. But the Republicans of this oounty andjudiolal district have something more to consider than the bare election of its candidates; It has a time-honored history of being consistent, honest and of exerolsing sound political Judgment, and the party leaders as in past have been singularly free from using their influence in support of candidates of an opposing tioket. lam sorry to say that this year is a notable exception to this rule. One paper, at least, once believed to be using its undivided influence in the interest of the party, has broken *the honored reoord of that Journal in its support of candidates on the Democratic tioket, while the chairman of the oounty central oommlttee will enjoy the distinction of being the only Republican honored with thatoffloe who has used his position and influence for the defeat ofa part of the tioket and for the election of two Democrats to high and Important offloes.

“Last week the Enterprise went to the expense of furnishing its readers with a cartoon or oarioature, evidently intended to greatly influence publio opinion, in which Mr. Hanley, the Republican candidate for Judge, was made the central figure. The picture could not fail to reflect great credit to the genius and imagination of a newly enlisted Democrat, and to a member of that party, not expecting too much, it would doubtless seem real funny. The editor, no doubt, oould win additional laurels from his Democratic admirers if in his next picture he would embellsh the editorial page of his paper with the emblem of the party, the Democratic rooster, and I suggest that he have his artist place by its side, hat in hand, the picture of our humble, politically helpless chairman regretfully saluting that historlo bird to avoid the penalty that would follow a hasty and foolish promise made earlier in the champaign. Let it be understood that the Republicans of this county realize that, under the circumstances, outside of Kentland, no Republican would receive the endorsement of that reoreant paper. And it may be added that it is not difficult, after a careful study, to understand the, source of this influence. It is entirely devoid of patriotism or party pride. It is an abortive attempt ofa few once trusted advisors to mislead Republicans. Their acts of perfidy are too gauzy, however, to deceive the rank and file of the Republicans. Mr. Hanley will be eleoted by more than the usual majority, if for no better reason than to resent the insinuation that the Republicans are disloyal. There is not a precinct in the county whose Republican voters are willing to rest under the shadows of unfaithfhlness to its party’s interests, which might be inferred if we aoeept as true the statements of the Enterprise. “If the Enterprise or any admiring Republicans choose to support a Democrat for office they have a perfect right, under the law, to do so, but it is neither courteous nor true for them to represent that their wishes embody the sentiment of Republicans of this county. “Mr. Hanley is fully competent for the office of Judge. He is entirely satisfactory to the Republicans of his oounty and of a large majority of the Republicans of Newton oounty. He will be eleoted.’' Stevens’ garments are the lowest for same qualities.
