They Come for Miles to the Big Closing-Out Sale to Retire from Business CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE, opposite Courthouse, Rensselaer, Indiana.

Three More Temperance Counties.

Huntington, Switzerland, and Parke counties voted the saloons out at the local option elections Tuesday. This makes twelve counties which have held local option elections and every one voted out the saloon. Tuesday twenty-nine saloons met their fate. The dry majorities are as follows: Huntington 1,650 Switzerland 90S Parke During this month ten more counties will hold local option elections. As & result of the overwhelming sentiment against the saloon, the Democrats in the legislature are unwilling to unite in repealing the local option law. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Fine For Kidneys.

Here is a simple home-made mixture as given by an eminent authority on Kidney diseases, who makes the statement, that it will relieve almost any case of kidney trouble if taken before the stage of Bright’s disease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; painful and discolored urination, are readily overcome. Here is the recipe. Try it: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. These ingredients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking well in a bottle. This mixture has a peculiar healing and soothing efrect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matter, which cause these afflictions. Try it if you aren’t well. Save the prescription.

Sells Bible; Buys Whiskey.

David McGuire, of Muncie, whose wife alleged that he was the “meanest man in the United States," because he sold the family Bible in order to obtain money with which to buy whiskey, and robbed the children’s penny bank for the same purpose, was sentenced to Michigan City prison for a period of ten years for larceny. He stole a small amount of bond wire from a traction company and was sentenced for this, but had it not been for his reputation for “meanness" he might have been allowed to get away with a lighter penalty. \

Senator Halleck’s New Bill.

Senator Halleck will, on the next roll call, Introduce a measure which is aimed at “loan sharks." Like the McCullough bill, which has been favorably reported in the Senate, the Halleck bill will embrace the feature of the Massachusettfl_ law, but will also embrace a provision that the maximum interest on a salary loan shall be 2 per cent each month. The bill will provide, also, that there shall be no charge for renewing such a loan, and that the charge for the original loan, other than interest, shall not be more than 25 cents for $25 or less, and shall not, in any case, exceed |2 above the interest charge. The loan at a greater rate of interest, or with a larger original charge, would be void. \ The provision of the Massachusetts law/ which will be embraced in this biy are that the employer and wife of the applicant for a loan must consent to the loan, and that a record of the loan shall be field with the clerk of the city or town where it is made.

Indigestion Ends.

You can eat anything your stomach craves without fear of a case of Indigestion or Dyspepsia, or that ing can ferment or turn Into acid or stomach if you will occasslonally take a little Dlapepsiu after eating. Your meals will taste good, and any thing you eat will be digested; nothing can ferment or turnlnto acid or poison or stomach gas, which causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling of fullness after eating, Nausea, Indigestion (like a lump of lead In the stomach). Biliousness, Heartburn, Water Brash, Pain In Stomach and Intestines or other symptoms. Headaches from the stomach are absolutely unknown where this effective remedy Is used. Diape pain really does all tbe work of a healthy stomach. It digests your meals when your stomach can't. Bach trlanguls will leave nothing to ferment or sour. Get a large 60-cent case of Pape’s Deapepsln from your druggist and ■tart taking today and by tomorrow you will actually brag about your healthy, strong stomach, for you can egt anything and everything you want without the slightest discomfort or misery, and evpry particle of Impurity and gas that -is In your stomach and Intestines Is going to be carried away without, the use of laxative or any other assistance.
