TypcWri-ter* The Standard Visible Writer You can write any Of these things yourself if you do not happen to have a stenographer. For you can easily learn, with a little practice, to write just as rapidly, and as perfectly, as an expert operator on the OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the simplified typewriter. And you can ree every word you write. About 8d per cent more durable than ony other typewriter, because it has about 8o per cent less wearing points than most other typewriters. 8o per cent easier to write with than these other complicated intricate machines that require ‘•humoring’’—technical knowledge—long practice and special skill to sperate. Than machines which cannot be adjusted to any special space—with which it is impossible to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd-size documents except pou buy expensive special attachments requiring experts to operate. You can adjust the OLIVER to any reasonable space—you can write on any reasonable size and thickness of paper, right out to the very edge, without the aid of any expensive attachment or special skill, and your work will be neat appearing legible and clear. For the OLIVER is the typewriter for the doctor, the lawyer, the insurance agent, the merchant, the hotel proprietor—or any man who does his own writing.

Mr. and" Mrs. Chas. Sanderson, of Laporte county, were guests, for severaldays last week of the family ot JosephJHal), ot Jordan tp., the two women "being sisters. Mr. Sanderson lived near Foresman a grear m: ny years ago, and has since lived near Sheldon, 111. This is the firM visit, he had made here for al mot •‘-eighteen years. Wabash merchants are seeking to make the i.-rofessional dead beat settle. They have commenced suit and received judgment against a large number of whom have noUproprrty, and are how passing circulars about the streets of Wabash offering the judgments for sale. Others- who owe are h urrying to settle before their names appear on the circulars. In a recently taken poll by the Chicago, Tribune from 4,518 repubkcan’congressmen, legislators, editors and other party leaders, 60 per cent of the replies declare for Taft for first place bn therepulican ticket, 80 per cent desire him for either Ist, 2nd or 3rd choice. He is the first choice of every state outside of its favorite son. All the people voting for Taft desire a continuance of the Roosevelt policies. There was considerable waterfall in the heavy and packed snow that fell Saturday night and Sunday. The roads are not in as good condition for sleighing as might be desired but a few sleighs are out today. This is the first snow we have had since the one that melted off the day after Christmas. The temperature continues moderate and the hazy sky forebodes more falling weather.
Both Fowler and Goodland papers state that the creditors of the Baldwin and Dague banks are thoroly disgusted with the means being taken by the bankers to postpone the appointment of a receiver, and it is indicated that action may be taken to the banks in the federal courts for the settlement of their affairs. It seems that at Goodland the creditois were much against the appointment of Grant Hall.
The Beta Phi Sigma fraternity has arranged to rent the J. H. S. Ellis residence property ior a fraternity house and will move to their new quarters from their present rooms in the K. of P. building about the first of the coming month. Mayor Ellis will retain his own rooms for himself and sons in the house, and aside from this the fraternity members will have the entire house and its furnishings. It will be a very desirable location.
One of the well edited and neatly printed papers that comes to our exchange table from a distant state is the Rugby, JN. Dak., Tribune, published by Anderson & Stager, the senior publisher being the husband of a former Rensselaer girl, Miss Nora Morlan. The last meet ing of the county commissioners there made that paper the official county organ and the last issue contained an entire page of legal notices. Evidently the paper is in a very prosperous condition.
The Wall Street Journal, one of the leading financial journals in the United StatW, says in referring to the present financial stringency: “If, however t the panic is to be used by the enemies of Roosevelt to bring about a reaction from the movement for fairer competition, for enforcement of law and for higher standards in the trusteeship of wealth then it will be disasrerous indeed.” The nomination and election of ’William Taft means the carrying out of the reforms inaugurated by President Roosevelt Both the Indianapolis News and State are so ardent in theiranpport of Fairbanks that they are not only praising him in almost every paragraph, either local or editorial that offers opportunity, but are also | giving space to every expression of eastern financial mongrels against President Roosevelt and his prob-! able sueeeeror, 1 Secretary Taft.

GET IT AT THE LITTLE GEM The majority of people haven’t any idea of t<he importance of our candy department. It, like the others in our store,.is in charge of_an_expert, a specialist.
