STEADY-STRENGTH-SLEEP.

These Are Three Words to Conjure With—They are Closely Connected With Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills to Save a Rensselaer Citizen. Steady nerves—refreshing sleep- — renewed strength—these are a trio that practically control the enjoyment of life—they are the keystone of the arch perfecting manhood and womanhood to the fulness of life. Mr. W. H. Rhoades of 277 McCoy Ave., Rensselaer, Ind, says:—“l can highly recommend Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills as a reliable safe and sure nerve tonic—one that will and does give to the nerves steadiness and quiet —gives to the restless sleep at night and to the system strength. This opinion is based on a trialin a severe case in our family. I am very much gratified at the fine results obtained and glad that A. F, Long, druggist called my attention to the Nerve Pills.” Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills are sold at 50c a box at dealers or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. See that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M. D. are on every package.

Senator Fairbanks was asked Tuesday what would be done in Indiana toward the MpKinley memorial. “The movement,” said the senator, “will be national in its character. The people of Indiana, in common with those of other states, will be appealed to for contributions. An association is now organizing under the laws of Ohio to take control of the matter. After this organization has been perfected some steps will doubtless be taken here to further the raising of funds in Indiana.” Mr. G. A. Eldredge, the character impersonator, wfyo came in the interest of the Chrirffian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church, furnished one of the most interesting entertainments ever witnessed in Rensselaer at the opera house, last night. His delineation of both male and female characters was true to the various distinct phases of life which they were so aptly patterned. The crowd that witnessed the performance was not nearly so large as should have turned out to such an excellent perfoimance and especially for the excellent cause for which it was given.

The first of the series of international races for the America cup took place Thursday, but owing to lack of wind the race was a failure, as neither boat got around the course within the time limit. In such wind as there was the old Coluinbia beat the new Shamrock badly, and therefore hopes are high that the cup will still remain on this side, The matter is in no way sure, however, for the final result probably depends very much on the weather. The Scientific American has all along said the Columbia was the better boat in the light winds, while the Shamrock, was likely to beat her in stiff breezes or heavy blows. Therefore if the races are sailed in light winds the Columbia is likely to win; if in heavy winds the chances tavor the Shamrock. The second attempt at a race is being made today.
