These Cucumber Vines Here Not Injured By Frosts.

Here is a story from the fertile brain of a farmer of Carroll county. The farmer says: “A neighbor decided to -plant a patch of cucumbers, and not being a very rapid worker, vines began. to coffie up in the first hills before h§ got to the end of the row. Pretty soon be felt something twining about his legs, and looking around saw that the cucumber vines had overtaken him and threatened to choke the breath out of him. Reaching for his knife to cut his way out, he found that a large cucumber had grown in his pocket, completely filling it so that he couldn’t get his hands in and he had to call for help.” Who is next?

Boy Has Miraculous Escape From Death In Balloon Bide.

Quinter Neff, 12 years of age, of Syracuse, Ind., escaped death very miraculously Wednesday afternoon. He was watching the inflation of a balloon, and when it began to ascend the ropes wound about the boy’s feet much after the fashion that Henry Moore, the' Monon man, was caught aiid killed Tiiesday. The boj r , however, was so firmly fastened in the ropes that he did not fall, but clung to the ropes. The aeronaut, seeing the predicament in which the boy was in, cut loose his parachute soon after the balloon left the ground and expected the balloon to fall. It continued its flight, however, until it is estimated the boy was 3,000 feet in the air. His parents were witnesses of the ascension and were stricken with horror as they saw their son carried higher and higher, each moment expecting to see him loosened from the ropes and dashed to death. Finally the gas in the balloon cooled and it began to descend, but it did not turn over for sonfe time and the boy landed safely in a clover field, having received only a few scratches.

A special train of seven cars passed through Rensselaer Sunday night, en route from Chicago to Louisville, Ky. It contained 185 retail druggists who will this week attend a convention in Louisville.

They assert they can get no definite answer as to probable relief, tbe railroads saying that they are doing the beat they can to supply tbe demand for cars. Some of the operators say they nave been compelled to turn down big orders on account of lack of tranSDortalion facilities.

SOUTH BEND MAYOR VISITS RENSSELAER.

Mayor Fogarty, Who Says He Gives the People YVhat They Want, Puts Ward In St.« Joseph’s. ' WEddie Fogarty, mayor of South Bend, spent several hours in Rensselaer today, Wednesday. He came over to place his ward, Willie Butler, in St. Joseph’s college. Mayor Fogarty is one of the best known city chief executives in Indiana and during the years of his mayorality he has received cohsider- ■ C- ■■ ■ * tig p ■ newspapers. ,>He is a democrat and a get-there politician. Wm, H. Blodgett, staff correspeondent of the Indianapolis News, writes Mayor Fogarty and his town up in the following language in the Tuesday issue of that paper: Whatever else may be said about Eddie Fogarty, the Democratic mayor of South Bend, he is not a four flushes He calmly and deliberately sets aside the statutes prohibiting gambling and regulating the liquor business but he does not pretend that he does not know what is going on. He says he was elected mayor of South Bend on a wide open policy; the people of this city, he says, believe in a wide open policy, and hence he gives them a wide open policy. A little thing like the law does not count as between friends. While there has in times past been some _ talk of the peculiar business methods, at least, of some of the members of Mr. Fogarty’s administration, there has never been any charge of graft lodged against him. When the St. Joseph county grand jury was digging about, Mr. Fogarty demanded that his administration receive a thoroagtL overhauling, and if any member of it was doing wrong—was grafting—let him be sent to the, penitentiary. Mr. Fogarty at that time said what he now repeats: "I have lived as mayor so that I can look any man in the face and tell him to go to.” To be sure, some of the men connected with the administration have got rich, but they made their money in land speculations, and in doing a legitimate business on pointers that reached them as members of the city government. Two grand juries have failed to find a rake-off in the city administration, so it is taken for granted that there is no graft here. Mr. Fogarty will not be a candidate for mayor again because the law will not let him. At the last session of the leyislature an effort was made to put South Bend in the class the mayors of which could run again, but the hill failed and Mr. Fogarty, in addition to looking after his insurance business his land speculations, will become, as soon as he lays down the cares of office, the business manager of the South Bend News, a paper with a Republican editor who is the mouthpiece of the Democratic city administration. Mr. Fogarty is a good business man and will no doubt jjroye a valuable addition to the News staff. Every once in a while the saloons and gambling houses are closed according to law, but that is done only when the saloon men and the gamblers get frightened at talk of a county option election and ask Mayor Fogarty to put on the lid. Just as soon as they get over the fright, then everything goes again. A few weeks ago everything was as tight as a drum. Now you can get a drink at any old time, and if you desire to tumble the painted cards or roll the wheel, Tony Barrett, Joe Sullivan, Bert Tunis, Joe Logan or any of the dead game sports can accommodate you with a game. There are no side doors or back entrances. One place in Main street had a Sunday door built right to the side-*, walk, so the patrons of the place would not have to dodge around alleys to get in after hours.

Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining- of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO, Toledo, O.

Liver Trouble Remedy Free Any intelligent person can be his own doctor in the ordinary case of liver trouble, for the symptoms cannot be mistaken. If the white of the eye becomes yellowish, if the skin becomes sallow, if pimples and blotches appear, if the bowels do not move, if you have sick headache, if you are bilious, you may be sure that your liver is torpid or inactive. The quickest and surest remedy yet found for the cure of liver trouble or any of its symptoms is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative compound. This wonderful remedy is not only a laxative, but a tonic as well. It will start the flow of grastric juice, thereby soon enabling the liver to do its work naturally. A bottle of this great liver remedy can be bought of any druggist for 50 cents or sl, and in many cases a single bottle has cured a chronic “cabe. For example, John W. Lee, 619 S. Pennsylvania ave., Indianapolis, Ind., had a stubborn and very long-standing case of liver trouble, with pimples,, blotches, jaundice, etc., and it cured him. Mrs. B. Flinchum, Jackson, Ky., says the same of it. Thousands of families keep it In the house against just such an emergency, as you can never tell when some member of the family will need a good laxative. In order to have you or any other sufferer from the liver make a test of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin without personal expense, Dr. Caldwell will send you a free test bottle if you will send your name and address. The sample will show you how pleasant It Is to take, how gently It works. It will start you on the cure of your trouble and convince you that you have found a cure. That Is the object of the sample, and the doctor urges you to send for it today. If there is anything about your ailment that you don’t / _ S* understand, or If you want mL any medical advice, write I JV t 0 the doctor * and he will answer you fully. There ia linßHwl. no charge for this service. The address is Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 500 Caldwell bldg., fEsSBSpHO Monticello, 111.
