Soli Impoverished soil, like impoverished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analyzing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to . use for different products. L , i***If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking in your system. There is no fat food that is -so easily digested and assimilated as Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil It will nourish and strengthen -he body when milk and cream tail to do it.

Miss Ethel Jacks, daughter of Alfred Jacks, in the northwest part of town, is suffering from an exceedingly severe attack of dysinter', but as no inflamatory symptoms have yet appeared, the physician', does not consider her condition as specially dangerous.

John C. Martindale, northwest of town, has been in poor health most of the winter, and for six weeks was confined to his house. He is much better now however, and was in town Saturday. Mrs. Martindale bat also ben very poorly, and b)th together, they have been obliged to keep their daughter Nina, at home this winter, but she expects to return to Indian University at the spring term. Mr. Martindale has wisely concluded io ease up on the hard work and responsibility of conducting his owa farm, and has rented it all out, except enough for gardering and similar purposes Mot forgetting a goodly slice of rich ground for a melon patch, whereon to prepare for the annual foraging raid of the old soldiers of Rensselaer and surrounding country. Mies Maggie Torbef, of near Blackford, returned home Saturday afternoon, from several months’ stay with a sister at Thorntown.

The County Commissioners begin their regular March session, this morning. A saloon license was granted to Aaron Timmons, of Dunnville, the only license applicant for the term. There was no oppositien to his application. Uncle Webb Reeve is the first to bring in a blue-bird repoit. He saw quite a bunch of the famous spring beauties Sunday, while on his way to Remington. They were the real old-fashioned blue birds, like he used to catch in holes in stumps, when he xas a boy. Theodore Roosevelt, now fairly launched on his solid four year term, is the first president that became president through the vicepresidency. that was ever re-elect-ed. He has already made a great record as presidet and wejlook to see him make a still greater one in bis next four years. Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Berry le't for their new home at Spencer, this state, on Sunday. He will engage there in the feed and bitch barn business He still retains his fine farm near Pleasant Ridge but has rented it out, His son Ray who is attending school here will remain until the end of the school year. Sunday was another very fine day, which leads us to remark that March is behaving very creditably so far. It has finished the rest of the snow, barring a little in drifts and ridges, in sheltered placer, wild geese and ducks are frequently obseived, rebins are not uncom-

_ r-—~ mon, and no doubt blue brdi are seen occasionally, though none have been re ported. In fact spring seems-to be fairly on its way, Still there is time for plenty of bad weather jet this month, of which fact March 1904 is an illustration* That month opened out fine, but about the 15th there was 6i- inches of Huow, and which stayed cn the ground several days.

The Automobile Law:

The new automobile law is the bill introduced by Senator Crtimpicker but considerably modified by amendments It provides for a state system of licensing and every-; auto owned in the s ate iniiet be numbered. Th,*?., license fee uill be one dollar. Cities can also provids for local liceha-s if thev 8U desire, Thesptel iirnits are 20 miles per hour cn country reads; in business nnd closely built up the residence streets of cities and town, 8 miles per hour, and in other portions 15 miles per hour, Autoes must give half of the road and must stop when drivers of horses signal to them that the horses are afraid.

Hard Name For the Automobile.

Flemish has enriched its vocabulary by a new word for autom jbile. It comes from “snel,” rapid; “paardeloos,” horseless; “zoondeerspoorweg,” without rails; •‘petroolrijtuig,” driven by petroleum. How would would you like to be hit by a “anelpaardelooezoondeerspor wegpetroolrijtuig?”

Fanny Fuss at Francesville.

WinamacDemocrat— , Francesville people were treated to an attraction Friday and Saturday that equaled a three-ring circus; with side show, menagerie and wild west performance included and not a cent for admission, Last Thursday, in circuit coutt here, Judge Lairy of Logansport rendered bis decision on the cases involvingjthe ‘ depot grounds” at Francesville, which cases hr had heard as special judge. There were two suits. Oae filed by M. M. Hathaway, who, with Attorney Steis of this p'acs, Winfield of Lcgansport and Spencer of Monticello, bought in the grounds at Sheriff’s sale over six years ago. These attorneys asked that, since the higher courts had sustained Hathaway’s claim to the grounds* the Monon railroad company ba enjoined from leasing the grounds or otherwise interfering with Hathaway’s possession of them. The o'her suit was filed by the company, asking that Hathaway et si be restrained from taking possession. Both oases were decided in fa?or of Hathaway, the injunctiin he asked against the company being granted. Friday morning the four attorneys mentioned went to Francesville and hiring some workmen, began to fence in the grounds aod take public possession. The grounds are in the heart <f the town, being a strip 150 feet wide and three blocks in length a’ong the tracks, and are covered with elevators, a lumber yard, h new bank building and other structures. They had a nice start at the work when the section min came along and tore the fences down The attorneys again built the <eaces, and when the section men came again they were informed in stentorian tones that by order of the courts the railroad no longer owned the grounds—that the attorneys owned them end that the man who molested the fences would be shot. The section men desisted, ml the fences stood until Saturday morning. Then a gang of section men from’Wanatah appeared mddenly, and they made kindling wood out of the fences in abort order. During all of these sc j nes a big crowd was present, the citizens evidently enjoying the maneuvres. The attorneys abandoned hope of being able tn keep up the fences a«ainet such a force, and returned here. Papera will shortly be filed citing the railroad company f'r contempt of court, so the end is not yet
