no stronger than its weakest or(in. If there is weakness of stomach, liver or lungs, there is a weak link in the chain of life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called “ weakness ” is caused by lack of nutrition, the result of weakness or disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. When the weak or diseased stomach is oared, diseases of other organa which t*tm remote from the stomach but which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, are cured also.

If the high school does not play a firstclass athletic team is to be organized. Wabash has been too much for the locals in recent years, and it fs‘ probable that they would be too strong for our lads the first of the year, but later in the season they might stand a better show. A car load of steel which workmen had been unloading near the Coen & Brady elevator Monday forenoon, tipped over, spilling the rails over the main track and breaking the wheel trucks from under the flat car from which they fell. It took about an hour to clear the track and delayed the north bound 10:05 passenger about 15 minutes. Bruce Ryan, a brakeman on the train, was standing close to the car when it tipped over and was fortunate to escape, the rails falling very close to him.

State Forestry Board Orders Law Printed to Prevent Losses.

The State Board of Forestry has ordered 2,500 copies of "the law which provides a penalty of from $5 to SSO fine for setting fire to forest lands p’ithin this, state, printed on cardboard. The notices are to be furnished to farmers free of charge on application. Few people in Indiana are aware that there is a penalty for causing fires in w’oodlands. Hunters are often careless in throwing matches; farmers are careless in burning stubble and railroads often neglect to guard against sparks. Prosecuting attorneys have also been negligent in prosecuting offenders of this law. According to members of the board statistics show that for every forest tree planted two acres of forest land has been burned over and the timber wafeted. Indiana suffered heavily from forest fires two years ago. The damage done each year--by forest fires in this state amounts to thousands of dollars.

White County Ex-Sheriff Refunds $517.65 To County.

Some time ago, in accordiance with the report of experts employed to examine the records of White county, the commissioners of that county brought suit against ex-Sheriff J. H. McCully, making a demand of $2,000 claimed to be due the county. Wednesday Judge Wason rendered a decision holding that Mr. McCully w r as liable to the county for $517.65, fees paid him for jury and election services. The pay of the sheriff for these services had. been in question for some time and Judge Wason decided that there was no law authorizing it. Mr. McCully at once paid the amount and thus discharged all his alleged obligation to the county.

Spend a Quarter and Be Convinced What a Classified Ad Will Do.

If you don’t want what you have sell it; if you havn’t got what you want bay it. These are worthy motives that it should not be hard to accomplish if you go about it right. The Republican offers the medium, and very few patrons of its classified columns have ever been disappointed. A quarter will carry a three line ad for a week in six issues of the Daily and both issues of the Semi-Weekly Republican and go into almost every intelligent home in Jasper county. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you should do today. A telephone message to the Republican office will start the. thing going. Your credit is gced.

Some of This $25,000,000 Was From Jasper County

Richard Sears, a member of the firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co., the noted mail order house of has disposed of his interest in the firm for $25,000,000. Twenty-five million dollars is a large sum. It is so large that ordinafy men can scarcely comprehend what it means. It means money enough to buy an entire county, and this vast sum was acquired in the space of 17 years by selling goods to people by mail. This 25 million does not represent all the profits of the concern during this time, for there are several other stockholders who profited proportionately. The very fact that one man made so much clear money in so short a time is reaping big profits from those who patronize it. They are selling inferior goods for good prices. There are no home merchants who have piled up $25,000,000 in the past 17 years selling goods; there are none who have piled up one thousandth part of that vast sum. Then why send your money away from home to amass fortunes for strangers when you can do your own town and your own county some good by trading at home? It is at home that you must look for buyers of your products, and it is to home institutions that you owe your support in return for the favors and support you deceive from them in many different ways.—Columbia City Post.

BEYERLY IS LONESOME AS PRESIDENT LEAvES.

Taft Leaves For 18,000 Mile Tour pf Country Reassuring the Return of Prosperity. - _____ ■■■’.- Beverly, Mass., the summer home of President Taft, is now quiet and the chief executive has started on his long trip to the Pacific coast, and from which he will not return to Washington until near the time when congress will convene on > December Ist. The president will travel about 13,000 miles, visit twenty-nine states and two territories and make about 300 speeches. His first public utterance since the special session of congress adjourned was made at Boston < Tuesday night, when he addressed some two thousand men, who were members and invited guests of three recently merged commercial organizations. The most impressive thing about the president’s speech was the fact that he made no effort to side-track any responsibility, and that he admitted the imperfection of the recent tariff bill, and criticised the banking and currency system of the country. However, President Taft is not going around with a long face and deelar—ing that the country is going to the bow-wows because of these imperfections. Instead he is saying that the recent tariff bill has done much to relieve the conditions that existed for the past two years and that the country is now undergoing a business re--vival that is fast restoring general prosperity. President Taft does not propose to compromise matters with the big violators of the law, and while facing the heads of the corporations he said in plain terms that “the law is for all and must be enforced even against the most powerful.” . The . president criticised the recent suggestion of Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, that the west should organize against the east, and which is really the first real weak statement of Governor Johnson, and discouraged any suggestion of sectionalism, saying “not in the history of the country since the war has the feeling between the north and south been more cordial than today,” ’ * The calm, business-like manner in which President Taft has taken hold of the reins of government, and the optimistic confidence he has in the country and his determination to bring about the pledges of the platform on which he was elected, should cause every citizen of whatever party to place confidence in him and to get right into the game of life and get his or her full share of the approaching

prosperity. President Taft will reach Chicago Thursday morning and that city has fairly outdone itself in preparing a reception for the chief executive. Many people will be in Chicage from other cities and the reception to the president will be a grand affair. Every day adds assurance that the country is in a healthy condition and that its president is meeting up to every requirement of the high office to which he was elected, justifying the early claims of the Republican that in William H. Taft, the country had a qualified leader, a man of brains and conscience and tact and caution, admirably assembled.
