JThe Modesty of Women Naturally makes them shrink from the indelicate Questions, the obnoxious examinations. and unpleasant local treatments, which some physicians consider essential In the treatment of diseases of women. Yet, If help can be had, it Is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that so often the woman undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing.

John Bruner and family made t’ce'r departure for Bartlesville, Okla., on the early train this morning.

Until they find a place they will occupy their home at Parr. State Senator-elect Halleck went to Monon today to confer with Repre-sentative-elect Brown about some matters of interest to the district they represent. This is an able team and we believe Jafiper and White counties and the balance of the renatoiial district, will have as capable representatives in the general assembly as they have ever had. Mr. Halleck has had in mind several matters of interest to his district, as also has Mr. Brown, and It is proper for them to get together and compare notes before they go to Indianapolis. The legislature will convene on Jan. 7th, and Mr. Halleck expects to go down a day or two ahead of time and arrange for his accommodations and get the lay of the land.

who has passed the four score period is Mrs. Elizabeth Michael, mother of Mrs. John Nichols, with whom she makes her home. She was 80 years of age the 6th of last May. This brings the total of our list of those of eighty or more up to 34. It is probable that there are others past the 80 mark who have been overlooked and we shall be pleased to* have any one furnish us their names and the date of their birth, and when the list seems complete we will again publish the entire list. A telegram from Lafayette to the Indianapolis Star states that R. D. Winsey, of Chicago, a passenger en route to French Lick Springs for a course of treatment, had fallen from a night train Saturday night near Reynolds. He was occupying a sleeper and was either very sick or very drunk. He had probably raised a window in the car and fallen out. A porter Who had been caring for him discovered his absence when the train reached Lafayette and a switch enrgine was sent back to look for him and he was found lying beside the track in a semi-conscious condition with blood flowing from his head. He was taken to Lafayette and stands about an equal chance with death. Our Mt. Pleasant correspondent briefly told of an accident that happened Saturday afternoon near the long bridge north of town.* Chas. Britt, son of Jas. Britt, was returning to his home after a trip to Rensselaer, and in the buggy with him were William Zimmerman and son, of West Newton, Ohio, who had come to visit his other son, Arthur Zimmerman, who lives near Aix. Harvey Davisson was returning home in his automobile and the horse shied slightly at the machine. Mr. Davisson brought the machine to a stop at once and the horse’s fright was allayed, but it had pulled the buggy slightly but of the road and as the horse pdssed on to the bridge the front wheel on one side of the buggy struck one of the bridge posts and the wheel broke down and the three occupants of the buggy were thrown otit. Mr. Zimmerman sustained a broken collar bone, his son was but slightly hurt and Mr. Britt was badly bruised up. The horse did pot attempt to run away, and the buggy was not otherwise injured than having the wheel broken.

The Musical Hoyles arrived this morning for their performance at the opera house tonight As every seat , in the house has been sold and most of the standing room as well, it is probable the Hoyles troup will never be greeted by a more crowded house.
