This offer holds good only until the first of January. The trial of Arnold who was charged with systematically robbing freight ears at Garrett, was heard in the circuit court at Angola, where it had been taken on venue, but after it had been concluded, the case was withdrawn

from the jury, and a plea of guilty entered, whereupon the judge fixed his punishment at one year in the penitentiary.—Albion New Era. The township trustee is the custodian of the poor fund. Under the Jaw, he has almost unlimited power to administer to the relief of the needy from the public money. At a time like this, a contemporary says, it is his duty to relieve as far as possible the burden that always falls upon charitably disposed people, by assuming a generous share of the cost of maintaining the poor, and making everybody bear a proportionate part. It is no time to be niggardly no-v.— South Bend Times.

ar. killers SWAMP-ROOT CURED ME. La Grippe 1 Gripp I Gripp! After Effects Cured. Mr. Bilger writes:—"l bad a bad attack of the B Grippe; after a time caught cold and had a second attack, it settled in my i kidneys and liver, and Oh! such pain and misery : in my back and legs. The physicians’ medicine ! and other things that I used made no impression, and I । continually grew worse un- | til I was a physical wreck, | . and given up to die. Father bought me a , bottle of Dr. Kiimer’sHWAUP ROOT, and | before I had used all of the second bottle I felt t better, and to-day lam just as well as ever. A year lias passed and not a trace of the Grippe is left. SWAMP-ROOT saved my life.” D. H. Bilger, Hulmeville, Pa. Jan. 10th, 189 T DROPSY 1 DROPSYI DROPSY I Suffered Three Years. “Respected Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.^ My wife had suffered for three years with Dropsy, during that time she was attended gj by five different Sy physicians, none a* Y,, of whom helped her wf -yy HI for longer than a few w J days. We also used '* x / besides, more than A, y L twenty different rem- /fV, edies, but nothing would help. Then we used vour 'tv SWAMP - ROOT, „„„ f and after she had used MRB ' HERMAN BROERINQ. three bottles relief was apparent, hence she continued to take it until she had used twentylive One dollar bottles. Now she is healthy and strong, as she never was before. She will be forty-one years old on the Sth of next March and next to God she owes her life to SWAMP-BOOT. I send you this testimony and enclose herewith a Photograph of my wife. Your true friend, Herman Broering. Feb. 22,1593. Loramies, Shelby Co., Ohio.

'Die K. of P. lodge had work in the first rank Tuesday evening. A small wood stove, good as new, for sale at half price. N. B. Shoemaker If (here is anything a school teacher doesn’t know she should never let the people suspect if, says a western exchange. Keen Bros. & Krupp, of Elkhart, one of the largest hardware firms* in northern Indiana, failed recently, with liabilities at SS,OOO and assets $17,000. The report published in a number of papers that George Snyder, formerly, of Elkhart, had died at LaPorte as the result of exposure from cold seems to have been a little premature. Snyder himself takes occasion to deny the report. A business man of St. Joseph refuses to rent a room for post office purposes because the mail is distributed Sunday morning. He probably . boycots the sun because it dosen’t stand still on the Sabbath.—Niles Star. Or refuses to eat fruit because it grows on Sunday.—LaPorte Herald. A man in Illinois is making a good ' living by writing to hard drinkers that | if they will send him a dollar he will I impart, to them an infallible cure for । drunkenness. When they comply with ■ his request, he sends them a neatly ! printed card bearing the words: “Don’t drink anything but water.” An exchange says that an editor once applied at the door of hades for admission. “Well,” replied his sable [ majesty, “We let one of your profesj sion in here many years ago, and he | kept up a continual row with his ; former delinquent subscribers; and as I we iiave more of that class of persons than any other, we passed a law prohibiting the admission of editors.” The Indiana railroad tax cases are expected to come up in the United States Supreme court at an early date. The attorneys think that the confirmation of Judge Hornblower will occur this week, and if it does the cases may be argued early next week. Governor Mathews and the members of the State Tax Commission will attend the argument.—lndianapolis News. Niles, Michigan, has been rebating taxes for the past four years to al! factories that would invest $2,000 or more. The Buchanan Record states that it is just now being discovered that

this rebate business is one that cannot be done by public officers, and the chance of putting a large number of prominent citizens in state prison is open to any enterprising individual who wants to prosecute. A man at Oakland, 111., is making a , tight enclosure of a tract of land and is going into the business of raising skunks, says an exchange. He claims that they breed rapidly and that their skins sell readily at a good price. He I wants l,()00 to begin with. It might ‘ be well for him to send to editors with large dead beat lists from which he i ■ could make a selection that would give I him a good send-off. And they would all be thoroughbreds too.

“Here is what I’eter Copper, who ■ died worth many millions, said of a j newspaper: “In all the towns where . ■ a newspaper is published every man ; I should advertise in it, if nothing more । | than a card stating his name and the ; business he is in. It does not only j I pay the advertiser, but it lets people . ;at a distance know that the town in which you reside is a prosperous com- : munity of business men. As the seed . ■is sow’n so the seed recompenses. ; Never pull down your sign if you expect to do business.” WOMANKIND ; Has won its fame because it deals with I what really interests the women of ■ America. I It leaves the discussion of the great ' questions of religion and polities to other papers, and tills its pages with J practical articles regarding home life, how to live delightful yet economically. Its fashion department is complete—the work of experienced editors—and profusely illustdated, but it deals with fashions suitable to the homes of worn en of artistic tastes and modest incomes. Ils stories are bright and inspiring. It is full of hints for the | self supporting woman, and aids those i who seek to add to their incomes by ; brain or hand. Holiday Excursions. I Luke Erie & Western railroad will i sell for the Christmas and New Year : holidays, excursion tickets between : all stations on its line, at the very low rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip.

Here is a pointer for farmers who have “muck” land. The Plymouth Republican says: “W. W. Warnes says that when he closes out his crop of celery, he will have made about S9OO off 2J acres of low muck land. It is well manured and cultivated,ami a crop of onions is taken otf before the celery goes in. He has 90 acres of tillable land, but his muck piece pars him nearly as much as the balance of the place.” Death's Great Tide. [ln memory of Ward L. Spaulding ] As the morning sun was rising o’er the mountains far and wide, Did you hear the Savior calling and the voice oi death’s great tide? Yes you heard him sweetly calling, left your friends in deep distress, Grief cannot call you back again from your calm and peaceful rest. Long has this cheerless tide been rolling, mingling midst your joy and grief, 1 ill at last the grave has won the and hast given thee relief, Yes the grave has surely won thee and your friends are filled with woe. But as thou art sweetly sleeping their sad anguish tholl can not know. Oh that sad and solemn tide with its dreary echoless roll. It steals into our transient homes and bears away the weary soul It swings ajar the pearly gate, grief cannot keep it closed; Grief cannot call them back again from their peaceful, calm repose. 1 hat tide with quick force bounded forward sprang l within your happy home, Left it distant, dark and dreary as it carried you to the tomb. Kind and cheerful thou hast been even in thy gloomiest hours, Thus we can not understand why thou hast withered with the flowers. Gone to thy dreamless sleep serene, gone in thy youth and in thy bloom, To deck the Master’s crown far beyond the clouds I and beyond the tomb; No more shalt thou heed that solemn tide as it flows I through the vaults to the farther shore. O, take not with thee our grief for thou couldst find | no happiness on that golden shore. ) es that voiceless tide is rolling o'er the slumbering I land and sea, Why should friends then grieve for you, when from ! agony thou art free, They are mourning at your absence, tor the voice we . loved is stilled. Thou in vision to us can tell what a place you have ; always filled. — From the Michigan Independent, by Clara Rsns- I BERGER. Dr. 11. S. Dowell extracts teeth with-! out pain or sleep.

How it Happened. f The following remarkable event in a lady'a i life will interest the reader: “For a long time I i had a terrible pain at my heart, which slut- ( tered almost incessantly^ I had no appetite । and could not sleep. I would be compelled I to sit up in bed ana belch gas from my stomi ach until 1 thought every minute would be l my last. There was a feeling of oppression about my heart, and I was afraid to draw a I full breath. I couldn’t sweep a room withI out sitting down and resting; but, thank ; God, by the help of New Heart Cure all that : is past and I feel like another woman. BeI fore using the New Heart Cure I had taken different so-called remedies and been treated by doctors without any benefit until I was both discouraged and disgusted. My husband bought me a bottle of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and am happy to say I never regretted it, as I now have a splendid appetite and sleep well. I weighed 125 pounds when I began taking the remedy, and now I weigh 130! 7. Its effect in my case has been truly marvelous. It far surpasses any other medicine I . have ever taken or any benefit I ever re--1 reived from physicians.”—Mrs. Harry Starr, Pottsville, Pa., October 12, 1b92.
