That our American forests abound In plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers.

Mr. Hiatt is for Taft and Watson, and says that the attitude of the saloon forces nt Richmond is so strong in their effort to elect Marshall that many temperance democrats are going to offset it by voting for Watson. He says that Watson will-win and win by a good big majority, and believes that republicans have no reason for not supporting him unanimously. The big job of printing the county and township ballots for use in this county next Tuesday has practically been completed. The county ballots were delivered last' Saturday and are now locked up at the court house, and unship ballots are almost completed. The county ballots consist of four tickets, the republican and democratic being in full from congressman down and the prohibition being partly complete. The Independence ticket has but one name, that of Everett G. Ballard, for congress, and in Jasper county alone it is worth about $lO to carry his name on the ticket, as the parper has to be cut wide enough to accommodate a full ticket. There “areonly two tickets for township officers in all townships- but Union,where there are four. The form from which the county tickets are printed will be published in the Thursday Daily and the Friday Semi-Weekly Republican. WEDNESDAY Mrs. J. H.

One Doctoi —Only One No sense in running from one doctor to another! Select the best one, then stand by him. No sense either in trying this thing, that thing, for your cough.

They visited the Republican office.in company with John Bowie, the editor of the Kankakee Valley Review. I The Jasper County Democrat quotes frequently from the Indianapolis News these days, and calls the News a republican paper. It may possibly deceive some of its subscribers by so doing, but all readers know, that the News never was a republican, paper and that this year it has been democratic throughout, evidently having sold out to the brewers, for Billy Blodgett was suddenly called off from writing about the benefieient effects of temperance over the state and the News has stood for everything that the brewers desire and has been as democratic almost as the old Sentinel used to be. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Haw Always Bought Merle Hopkins, son of Homer Hopkins, of Monticello, is another youth to have the aeronaut fever and he Is ' here today trying to work up a plan for a balloon ascension for a week | from Saturday. Merle and George 1 Simons, of Monticello; now have the beggering balloon and one of*'the other will make an ascension at Mon- I ticello Saturday of this week. It is probable that a large crowd could be brought to town if an ascension was advertised, and there will be no doubt i that the ascensoin would be a fine | one. The balloon is the best we have ever seen, and the proposition the boys make is to not take a cent until the ascension is made. In other words, they guarantee the ascension, ’and don’t get a copper. until they have made it according to promise. Terrance Thompson, the Rensselaer boy, who made an ascension in the same balloon these boys have, at Francesville, may possibly make the ascension here if the plans can be made. ■ • It seems like the gloom that has I hung over the city since the first rain last Friday may rise today, but ; the sun has had a hard time to work ; pts way through the clouds. The rain I came following" a drouth days and there have not been many complaints because the days were dark and gloomy. It was the kind of a rain that sticks to the “ribs” or perhaps better, soaks into the ground and that is what was needed. It has not been very cold, but the forecast for tonight is frost, and for tomorrow it is promised by the weather man that ( the day will be clear. During the 1 four or five days that it has rained the total precipitation been only .90 of an inch, which is less by 23 hundredths than we had in one rain on the 27th of September, but it has done vastly more good than that one, which was so dashing that it all ran off. It is probable that cold weather will follow so closely on the heels of this rain that pasture will not be benefited much, but fall sown grain should be aided a great Heal. And what is another great benefit Is that it stops the danger of the prairie fires that had done so much damage and were so threatening to all the farming country: "THURSDAY J. W. Childers went to Delphi Tuesday morning and Mrs. Childers will stop there on her way home from Ind ianapolis. Last year 15 and 25 cents a pound; this year 10 eents. Fancy California evaporated apricots, peaches and pears 10 cents a pound at John Eger’s. Mrs. Stella Duvall, district* pre 1dent of the W. R. C.; Mrs. Louella Childers, district secretary of the W.

WHEATFIELD POST-OFFICE WAS BURGLARIZED

Burglars Blow Open Safe and Get $l5O in Money and S2OO Worth of Stamps, and Escape. r

Burglars entered the Wheatfield postoffice Wednesday night, blew open tne safe, stole cash to the amount of about $l5O and stamps to the value of more than S2OO and made their escape, leaving no clue whatever that might lead to their discovery. Simon Fendig, the druggist at that' place, was at his store until about { 11 o’clock and the robbery occurred after that hour; Several persons living close to the postoffice recalled having heard three muffled reports of a discharge during the night, but all |

potatoes last week through their ad in this paper, but they report that they are able to handle still more, and anyone having nice “spuds” would do well to see them. The subject of the morning sermon at the Presbyterian church will be “The duty of the Christian Citizen on Election Day,” the evening subject will be “The Works of the Lord Jesus.” Everyone invited to these | services. Have you tried those nice, ripe, mealy sand grown northern potatoes only 20 cents a peck at John Eger’s. I The Jasper County Democrat in several places this week, has catch lines, saying “Vote for Farmer Algie J. Law for state senator.” Mr. Law is a farmer, and so is John G. Brown, the republican candidate for state representative, a farmer. Would the Democrat mean that all democrats should vote for fanners exclusively What are the odds what business a man is engaged in, whether farmer, lawyer, or student, so long as he is a man and stands right on the issues. If you haven’t the time to exercise regularly, Doan’s Regulets will prevent constipation. They induce a mild easy, healthful action of the bowels without griping. Ask ' your druggist for them. 25c.

through it was shooting in the distance and paid no attention to it. The safe was completely demolished, and according to a party who talked with the Republican reporter, would make poor scrap iron. Parts of fire clay were found in about all the boxes of the office?. Louis Paulsen, the postmaster, had * purchased a draft for $195 and s nt to the postoffice department just the day before, and therefore the loss was not as heavy as it otherwise would have been.
