Bradstreet estimates that at least 500,000 people have been benefitted by the recent advance in wages in the iron and steel industries. This good work has been bought about solely by a gold standard and a Republican administration and the longer they are in power the higher wages will be and the more general prosperity the country will enjoy. A recent publication to the effect that amateur dramatic entertain* xnents, and even church socials to which an admittance fee was charged, were subject to the war tax of $lO, was misleading. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue some time ago ruled that “church entertainments and amateur theatricals, either in private houses or public halls, are exempt from the payment of the special tax imposed on theaters and traveling companies.” Gov. Mount intends to abandon the field of active politics on the completionof his term as governor. Writing to a friend in Crawfordsville, he says: “Each succeeding week revives memories of the dear old contry I have twice left—once for the war, then again for the responsibilities as governor of our great state. During the war I ’ looked hopefully forward to the time for my return to the scenes of my childhood; now I am looking forward to the gala day when I shall have finished the responsible duties to which I have been called by the people of the state and once more be permitted to to return to the scene of my long struggle to secure a home. My Willowdale farm and the associations of old Montgomery county have for me an abiding charm:” The attorney-general gives an opinion that the new law governing the distribution of township funds among the poor, no applicant for assistance can receive over sls a year for all proposes, except for burial purposes or medical aid. If necessity demands the outlay of more than sls for any one person, that person shall be considered a fit subject for the poor farm and be sent there, or allowances discontinued. If this is the law and it is strictly enforced, it will work great hardship to many deserving people, as well as it increases expenses to the community. For instance there are several widows with families of young children in Rensselaer. By a moderate amount of help from the township they can keep their families together, and provide most of their support. If this sls law is strictly enforced these mothers would have to go to the poor house and their children to orphan asylums, and the ultimate cost to the people would be greatly increased, while the condition of the widows and their children would be made vastly worse.

ARE YOU CONSTIPATED?

You may not know it or at least fail to realize it but constipation is the greatest enemy to mankind. This condition unless corrected will bring on Indigestion and Dyspepsia. This condition places the system in such shape that if you are exposed to any one of the different kind of fevers you are sure to be affected thereby. In this condition a large amount of poisonous matter is retained in the system and you are therefore not in a condition to throw off disease. A cold cannot be eradicated when the system is clogged. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gives perfect relief for this trouble. Try a 10c bottle just once; you wilt be convinced. Also in 50c & SI.OO sizes of A. F. Long. Ferguson & Wilson have plenty of money to make allthe loans required in Jasper county. We will give applicant choice from private funds or eastern funds. Don’t forget to call and get our terms. During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin, of Long Reach, West Va., contracted a severe cold which Irft him with a cough. In speaking of how ue cured it he soys; “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until .1 bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough. Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about a complete cure.” When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief. It has been in the market for over twenty years and constantly grown in favor and popularity. For sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by F. B Meyer.
