INDIANA, JAN. 30, 189 Sore Throat Bronchitis, colds, coughs, asthma, and even consumption, in the early stages, yield to Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Singers, actors, auctioneers, public speakers, clergymen, teachers, lecturers, and all who are liable to disorder of the vocal organs, find a sure remedy in this wonders ul and well-known preparation. As an emergency medicine, in cases of croup, whooping cough, etc., it should be in every household. “ Two years ago I suffered severely from an attack of sore throat And Bronchitis It seemed as if I could not survive, all tho usual remedies proving of no avail. At last I thought of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and after taking two bottles of this medicine I was restored to health.” — Chas. Gambini, Smith’s Ranch, Sonoma Co., Cal. “ There is nothing better for coughs than Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I use no other preparation.”—Annie S. Butler, Providence, R.I. SV. H. Graff & Co., Druggists, Carson, lowa, certify that all throat and lung troubles are speedily Cured By Using Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, It leads all others. “ In January, 1889, I was taken down with measles and scarlet fever, and exposing myBelf too soon, caught a severe cold which settled on my lungs. I was forced to take to my bed and was so ill that the doctors despaired of my recovery, supposing me to be in quick consumption. Change of climate was recommended, but I began to use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and soon found relief. After using several bottles, I was cured, so that I am now as well and rugged as ever.” — John Dillander, Cranesman of Btbam Shovel, G. S. & 8. F. IA R. Co., Justin, Texas.

WILL STROUP. Becomes Deranged and Wanders Off, Perhaps to His Death. [Valparaiso Star,] On theslh inst., William Stroup, of Chicago, a former Valparaisoan, disappeared from his home and no trace has been found of his whereabouts. The following letter, written by a former editor of the Vidette, gives the situation correctly: Chicago, Jan. 12, 1892. Editor Star:— There being evidently some misapprehension in Valparaiso as to the real facts in the case of Will Stroup, -who so mysteriously disappeared on the sth inst., please permit me, as a friend and one conversant with all the circumstances, to present the matter in its true light and disabuse the minds of some of your citizens of an unwarranted suspicion that Mr. Stroup has betrayed the confidence of his employers or deserted his wife and child. The fact that on the day of his disappearance he did not make his regular collection—his mind being apparently in such a state that ho was unable to follow the route which he was accustomed to travel on Tuesdays—should be, in itself, sufficient to satisfy any fair-minded person that the man was distracted and irresponsible. Furthermore, his employers, tho day following, far from having any misgivings as to his honesty, sent Mr. Stroup’s weekly salary home to his wife, accompanied with a message giving assurance of unshaken confidence and offering any assistance they could possibly render in finding the missing man. And later investigation of his financial affairs has only reassured them that his transactions were always honorably conducted. As to Mr. Stroup’s domestic relations, they wore certainly as happy as one could wish. This much the writer knows, being a frequent visitor at bis home and having observed with pleasure the affection he constantly evinced for his wife and child, to say nothing of his delight in speaking of them when away from home. The whole truth of the matter is, simply, that tho unfortunate man, after an attack of the grip, which had confined him to his home for several days, just previous to his disappearance, went to work before he was well enough, and he became deranged and wandered away, God only knows where^e^ As the purpose of this communica- ’ tion is mainly to defend the subject 1 thereof from charges of dishonesty, I ( would ask the merchants and profess- I ional men of Valparaiso to look back 1 to the time when Mr. Stroup was act- 1 ing as city messenger, or purchasing 1 agent, and remember the large 1 amounts of money and the valuable goods he was often intrusted with, and withstood the temptatation. They cannot do less than defer judgment pending his restoration to family and friends, which, let us hope, will not be far hence. Trusting the above statement of facts will in a measure allay the uncharitable surmises first mentioned, and thanking you in advance, on behalf of family and friends, for the publication of the same, I am, Very Respectfully, Peter Ludolph. «•> A Wonderful Dog. [North Judson News ] William L.

It is to doubt existence after death—to spurn the joys that may come after this breath of life. From our heart we pity the infidel, We pity him for the unbroken darkness of his mind. To him, the beautiful flashes of the morning reveal no light; to him tho deep noon ami falling eve are as unseen glories; beneath him the free stream of the broad' earth with its lov^yflowenuS^^ he cannot see about him the pow^FiMfl glory of the Creator in inanimate nature. Above him the lightning’s wild flight is a mystery; and the nocturnal heaven’s hymu no song of joy. We pity him for his self-imposed ignorance of the future. No matter wbat may be the gloom of his mind—no matter how long his death slumber may continue, there is an hour coming which the unpillared air shall move not; in which the soil that mingles with his body shall be pulseless for a moment —then the “heavens shall pass away” before the land, rending short of the Archangel— the hoary tombs shall be untenanted, and a fearful and unearthly light shall shine upon him, which shall for penetration outrival the lurid flames of perdition. Let the young start back and shudder at the name of infidelity 1 Not for the pleasure and wealth of life —not for all the princely regalia that ever brightened in peace or crimsoned in war —not for the burning praise that mingles with tho plaudits of the multitudes—not for the marble honors of a weeping world, should its renoun rankle in our heart, or its deep, blighting darkness come over our soul I Reflects the Town. No newspaper, no matter how ably edited, or how enterprisingly conducted, can long keep afloat and abreast the times when published in a dead town. It takes a live town to make a live newspaper. There never was in the past hundred years, never will and never can be a live town without a live newspaper. The newspaper is dependent on the town. It reflects the push, progress and aspirations of the town. Without home patronage it cannot live and thrive; then again, while it is dependent on the town, the town cannot get along without it. There iff no auxiliary so valuable to a growing town as an outspoken, public spirited paper, wisely and well managed. —Ex. M. D. LEIB O L E IS AGENT for the Fort W ayne laundR y.
