A COURAGEOUS ACTION. Some, no doubt, look upon the young king of Spain as a headstrong and heedless youth to tempt death Itself by going to Barcelona, the stronghold of Spanish anarchists. King Alfonso, however, is but playing the role of king as he thinks It should be played. As king he is the human embodiment of the Spanish government. The anarchists of Barcelona gave J notice that if the king dared go there he would be killed. Had King Alfonso paid no attention to it and remained in the security of his palace at Madrid, his action would have been of the greatest encouragement to the Barceoona anarchists. They would have pointed out that the king aa the highest representative of the government dared not accept their challenge. They would have claimed that he feared their power. The citizens of Barcelona would have looked upon the anarchlsta aa being more powerful than In government, and Justly so, for they would have the plain evidence spread before their eyea that the king, the head of the government, had not dared go to their city in the face of the anarchists' threats. By going to Barcelona, King Alfonso has shown that he believes hie government is stronger than the power of the anarchists. He has shown that he believes the power he represents Is still able to guarantee protection to the citizens It represents. The anarchists may make an attempt on his life. They may succeed in accomplishing his murder. Even if they do, however, their attempt, successful or otherwise, will be much weakened in the eyes of the people, by the courageous action of the king in going to Barcelona in the face of the threats, to Increase their power in the estimation of the citizens. The king's action, therefore, is not so much fooluerdiness as It appears to be at first glance. On the contrary it shows that he has courage enough to follow a definite policy of ever keeping before the people the fact that the organized government he represents la all-powerful, and remains unshaken by the threats of murderously inclined anarchists, who sow their hatred of any kind of organized government by their many wild acts in all countries.

COMMERCIAL COURSE IS HOWPOPUUB Students at he Local High School Appreciate This Department.

MANY HAVE GRADUATED.

ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN PLACED WITH PROMINENT LOCAL FIRMS DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ENLARCED .

CHEER UP, COTTON . THREAD IS CHEAPER. Housewives, cheer up, cherries are not ripe, but cotton thread is coming down in price. The syndicate that controls the manufacture of it has reduced the price to the jobbers, and the latter to the retailers. It is expected the retailers generally will sell at S cents a tpool again as soon as one of them starts to. They were paying 7 cents a dozen spools, with 7 per cent discount. Now they are paying 60 cents a dozen with the same discount. So there is a profit in selling at 5 cents a spool retail. The price has been G cents a spool for about a year.

ADAIR IS URGED

TO RUN FOR CONGRESS Want Him to Quit Race for

Governor.

The commercial course at the high school Is proving to be one of the most popular. It has been in existence for three years. The first year there was need of only twenty-two desks and one room but the next term the number of students Increased so that it became necessary for the school board to secure an assistant to Mr. Jones to help with the work. Miss Curtis was secured for this position. Then the department added another room and Mr. Jones had 13 desks and Miss Curtis 18. And at present It has been necessary to add six more desks in Prof. Jones' room to accommodate all the students who wish to take the work. At the end of each term large numbers of students graduate. If Is asserted that a very rare thing to find every graduate of the commercial department in high schools or business colleges "make good" when they leave school. The rule is to let best ones only take positions. So far In the career of the high school commercial course every graduate has acquired a degree of proficiency that has enabled him to accept a position and do his work so satisfactory to his employer as to make his employment permanent and secure increases in salary. Not one has lost his position first secured, because of a lack of proficiency and all but one are with their first employer. The graduates and positions they have accepted are as follows: Myron Hill, bookkeeper and stenographer, Grubbs "Wholesale Grocery company. Esther Hill, stenographer, Safety Gate works. Nellie Bullach, stenographer, Louck & Hill, Contractors, Builders and Lumber company. Mary Myers, stenographer, Quaker City Mill Works. Ralph Cain, bookkeeper and stenographer, Richmond Candy Co.

fer's Wholesale Dry Goods and Notions. James Wood resigned his position last September to enter Purdue University, where he is at present. Miss Alice Stein who finished the commercial course at the high school in February and has accepted a position with the George II. Knollenberg company. The remainder of the class have decided to remain in the school aud take advanced work in commercial bookkeeping.

FARMER KILLED WIFE Little Child Was Also Murdered, Then the Maniac Hung Himself.

TOTS FOUND THE BODIES.

Piqua, O., March 11. I 'our little children of Mr. and Mrs. Davis, of Pattytown, Newton Township, wondered why their parents did not arise this morning. At a late hour tney got up themselves and went into their parents' bedroom. Here a horrifying sight met thc.r eyes, as they beheld Mrs. Dayis and a little one-year-old child dying in bed. Their heads had been crushed with an ax. Their first thought was that their father had gone crazy and killed them. This was correct. For days, Davis had acted peculiarly. About 3 o'clock this morning he arose brained his sleeping wife and child, and then tried to kill himself with the same weapon. Finding that he could not, he went to the barn and hanged himself from a big beam. Davis hadborrowed $3,500 on a fine $10,000 farm, and being unable to pay, became insane and committed the desperate deed.

SIMS NOW ACTING STATECHA1RMAN Goodrich Is Bound Down With C, C. & L. Troubles at Trie Present Time.

COMMITTEE HELD MEETING.

ROUTINE MATTERS WERE ATTENDED TO NO PLATFORM TALK PREVAILED, THIS BEING LEFT UNTIL LATER.

Indianapolis, March 11. Fred A. Sims, secretary of state of Indiana, will be the acting chairman of the republican state committee from now until the state convention on April 1, and possibly through the campaign. Sims will act in the absence of Chairman James I". Goodrich, whose duties as C. C. & L. railroad receiver will detain him in Chicago the most of the time for the next few months. At the meeting of the republican committee yesterday afternoon, Chairman Goodrich was authorized to select Mr. Sims as the acting chairman. Sims is familiar with all details of republican politics in Indiana. Routine matters in connection with the approaching state convention were discussed yesterday afternoon. Chairman Goodrich came down from Chicago to attend the meeting. The committee discussed the probable expenses of the convention and fixed an assessment for the candidates on the state ticket, who are expected to assist in paying part of the convention expenses. The question of the issuance of convention tickets was taken up. The committee expects that the convention will be attended by the usual large crowd. The first day 13 to be a hurrah event. Overstreet Will Sound Keynote. It is officially announced that Representative Jesse Overstreet will be the temporary chairman of the convention and will sound the campaign battle cry. Last night Chairman Goodrich had a long conference with Acting Chairman Sims regarding the work that Is to bo done. The committee did not indulge in much platform talk. This will be left to a gathering of republicans of the state the latter part of the month. According to the usual custom leading republicans will meet in Indianapolis a short time before the convention and decide what shall go in the state platform. No date was arranged yesterday for the meeting.

The Risk is Ours We ask you to prove for your own sake that Kodol does cure Dyspepsia. That it completely digests any food that you eat. That its action is instant. Please let us take the risk while you try it.

Don't try to make the stomach do what it can't !o. Don't stimulate it; don't drive it to action. It is like whipping a tired horse. Let it resL as you would a lame ankle. And, like the lame ankle, the stomach will cure itself. . In indigestion, the stomach lining Is inflamed. And the undigested food, by becoming hard, irritates that lining. That is the cause of the pain. So long as that irritation is allowed to continue, there is no hope of caring the stomach.

Some of you find that you cannot digest all food. So you limit yourselves to the food that you can digest. That means partial starvation. The needs of the body call for variety in food. One cannot diet without starving some part, without losing some needed nourishment And nourishment will do more than anything else to correct the weakness. It is vital that you should supply it. The right way is this: Eat what yon need of the food that you want. Then let Kodol, for a time, do the digesting. Nature will do the rest

Kodol is the only way to digest all sorts of food. It is not like preparations which digest part of the food. Some elements needed to digest all food are lacking in other digesters. Kodol is not a half-way treatment. It is complete. It does all that is necessary; all that the healthiest organs can do In the digestion of food. And its action is instant. It goes into the stomach in liquid form, like the digestive Juices. Its effect on food is immediate. There is no food to irritate after Kodol is taken.

No food to ferment and form gas. No food to decay and charge the blood with impurities. Th symptoms of indigestion are ended.

The treatments of the past have relied mainly on pepsin. But pepsin digests only one element In food -the albumen. We employ it for that. Starch a quires something else; fat something else. h perfect digester must supply every element that the stomach and bowels supply. That is what we have created. We have done it by analysing all the digeetiv fluids. By combining the needed elememts. By testing the result on all sorts of foods in teat tubes, until the compound was perfect. Not a bottle of Kodol ever went from our labors tory until we knew, to an absolute certainty, thai it would digest any food that any person eats. Our Guarantee Kodol will act in any case, under any condition, on any sort of food. This is 6o certain that we guarantee it. Buy one large bottle, and ask your druggist for the signed guarantee. If you are not satisfied, take the empty bottle back with the warrant, and your druggist win return your money. This offer is made on the large bottle only, and to but one in a family. That bottle will aznplr prove how needless it is to suffer and yoa will never forget it. Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. C DeWitt & Co., Chicago. The J1.00 bottle contains 2 times as much as tee 50c bottle.

.CoioMEOAtriOoj,

Washington. March 11. President Roosevelt yesterday in an address at the white house to the National Mothers' Congress, placed the society ahead of the civil war veteran, because, he said, in the final analysis, it is the mother only who is the better citizen than the soldier. "Your purpose is indeed," he said, "the broad purpose of our civilization. We are seeking to make a childhood of wholesome play lead up to a mature life of wholesome work from which the spirit of play has not been altogether lost. We think it worth while to provide for childhood with its play. We think it worth while to provide in a thousand ways for the work of grown up years. But just at this time we are chiefly interested in the passage from the age of play to the age of work. That i3 the focus of some of our most anxious thoughts of today. The school is largely concerned with the transformation of a playing child into a working man with some play left in him. So the question of which I speak is the question of the fitting together of the later years of school with the earlier years of work. Here is one of the most penetrating questions of our time, and one to which yoa may fairly devoie your most tamest, planning and study."
