Object to Strong Medicines.

Many people object to taking the strong medicines usually prescribed by physicians for rheumatism. There is no need of Internal treatment in any chse of muscular or chronic rheumatism, and more than nine out of every ten cases of the disease are of one or the other of these varieties. When there is no fever and little (if any) swelling, you may know that it is only necessary to apply Chamberlain’s Liniment freely to get quick relief. Try it. For sale by B. F. Fendlg. Secretary of State Fred A. Sims, who two months ago left his office in the state house to go under the knife at the Protestant Deaconess hospital, was at his desk Tuesday for the first time since the operation. Mr. Sims is still taking treatment but Is fast gaining In strength.

Drank Man Sloughed the Glee Club Bass VioL The bass violin belonging to the Wabash College Glee Club was put out of commission Tuesday by a drunk man just after the train on which the jolly college boys were traveling had left Wolcott. Wolcott is now a “wet” town and thirsty humanity from many of the surrounding towns piles in there for booze and remain until money and credit is a thing of the past. It seems that one of the passengers on the train was loaded to the eye brows and right on the verge of delerium tremens. He did not have the “snakes” but got it into his head that he was being attacked by a bunch of bassviols. He dodged a few times and then charged at the innocent instrument and alighted right in the center of it with both feet. The strings snapped, the case was broken and the long arm was broken off. The Wabash student who handles the big stringed instrument Was standing guard a few feet away and when he saw the fix his charge was in he made a lunge for the offending boozer. He was soon joined by the other members of the glee club and the coach resembled a football gridiron for a few minutes. Things looked so serious for awhile that the conductor stopped the train and the college boys tossed the assailant of the violin off the train and for good, measure chucked his partner off on top of him. The bassviol was not in shape to bear its part of the musical duty here and will have to be sent to the factory for repairs, but it will probably be in service again before its pugilistic adversary has all of his bruises healed up.
