SRR Cracker factories are not so numerous ~ as to be in ruinous competition, as is the case in some other manufacturing in- - dustries. The cracker industry is said to be a profitable one. Local capital ' might do well to investigate this matter. T S AR PO R The importance of improvement associations can not be overestimated. The good work accomplished by these asso- . ciations is to be seen in many towns. They are a most important factor in advancing che interests of a town. Walkerton should have an improvement assoe ciation by all means. l 2 TG A IS TR Wl TN k Prophet Hicks has served notice on | : the papers throughout the country that . they must not publish his weather . fore- : casts on peril of prosecution. But il is | noticeable that some papers, regardless l of this warning, continue right on pub- | lishing these forecasts. Foreo of ha.bit% ig a hard thing to overcome. ‘ eIR W ER STR el Two weul:,h; and aristocratic bankers | of Chicago have been sent to the peni- | tentiary for violating the law against! receiving deposits after they knew the ' bank was insolvent. That is the right | . kind of law. Men in high positions who | e viclate the law should be punished the | same as the poor fellow who steals a' pair of boots. The law should be no re- 2 specter of persons. . i AT AR, A T W N The Indianapolis Sentinel ventur 3a 3 the prediction that both the old parties | will split on the silver question this i year, and that there will result either a ! conflict between independent factions all ’ around, something like that of 1860, or i an alliance between factions of different | parties that agree on the money ques- } tion, making it the central issue of the] campaign and the central issue in poli- ; tics for years to come. : — Indiora is doubtless the greatest oil'z and gas field in America, says the Go—f shen Times. Farmers and business men | all along the line of the gas belt are | crowding themselves into the industry l and are going into business for the pur- ‘ pose of making a fortune. During the | past month a large amount of leasing 3 has been done, and a large number of | syndicates have been formed for the purpose of testing these land.. | “The noblest motive is the pubhu:‘ good.” Keep this truism uppermost in’ your mind and lend a helping hand to | .~ improvements that are intended to advance the interests of not only yourself} but those of your neighbor and your | town. The man who i 3 afraid to let co | little more benefit than himself is builf

on rather narrow principles. He should | strive to cultivate a more generous disposition. It A Useful Organization,. 'l “The property owners of a little village carnot make a beiter paying investment than in the maintainance of a “ : well organized Improvement Society,” writes John Gilmer Speed in April Ladies’ Home Journal. “Through such asociety the value of every piece of property in a village, and the neighborhood thereof, may be enhanced in value; village life *made to take : o° new interes - dignities; tion ma- o oexact

' [ The tigures we give below were furnish- | :od us by T. J.

SOO | : i Total, $7,707.00 | Allowing for water gates and other 'incidentnla it may be safely estimated | that the water works system as above de"scribod would not cost to exceed $3,000, | The system as proposed, it will be seen, écm’ers nearly the entire town, and per i haps there would be no more thana Edozvu houses within the incorporation that would not have protection in case ’of fire with 500 feet of hose. This sys item of mains makes a circuit, leaving lbut one “dead end,” which would be at | the B. & O. This in time would no " doubt be tapped to furnish water for | the Three I or B. & O. railroad company, | and probably both, which would give a ! final outlet to the mains and afford {frosh water constantly in all parts of i town.

The tobacco habit grows on a man un til his nervous system is seriously affect. ed, impairing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly is too severe a shock to the system, as tobacco to an’ inveterate user becomes a stimulant that his system continually craves. “BacoCuro" is a scientific cure for the tobaceo habit, in all its forms, carefully com pounded after the formula of an eminent Berlin physician who has used it in his private practice since 1872, without a [failure, It is purely vegetable and guar- [ anteed perfectly harmless. You can use all the tobacco you want while taking “Baca-Curo.” It will notify vou when to stop. We give a written guarantee to ' cure permanently any case with three ‘ boxes, or refund the money with 10 per i cent interest. “Baco-Curo” s not a ‘ substitute, but a scientific cure, that - cures without the aid of will power and | with no inconvenience.
