Wlje SniiepenireHt. Walkerton, Ind., May 30, 1896. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The Indianapolis Sentinel says that Hon. Samuel Parker, the well known Marshall county politician, is talked of in political circles, as a probable candidate for governor. People who see and talk with ghosts, and who hear mysterious noises at night are all going crazy. It is one of the first symptoms. Another symptom is the habit of thinking that you have a monopoly of this world’s troubles.—Atchison Globe. Hon. John S. Bender, of Plymouth, was nominated for congress by the populists of the Thirteenth district at their convention in Plymouth on Thursday of last week. It is said that Mr. Bender has not fully accepted yet, having taken the matter under advisement. Since the withdrawal of Tom Taggart as the possible Democratic candidate for governor, a large number of the leading Democratic papers of the state are advocating the nomination of John B. Stoll, the editor of The South Bend Times. Mr. Stoll is a far more able man than Mr. Taggart and either he or Lieutenant Governor Mortimer Nye would, no doubt, poll a much larger vote ■of the party than any others yet spoken of in connection with the Deiuocratic nomination for governor. Michigan •City News. Li Hung Chang, the Chinese statesman, intends to visit England, France, and the United States for the purpose of studying the institutions of Europe and America with a view to introducing modern ideas into the governmental policy of his own country. Li Hung Chang is the greatest of Chinese statesmen, and it is said that his ability is so exceptional that he deserves to rank among the foremost statesmen of the world. With such a progressive statesman as Li Hung Chang to start reforms, there is some hope that the “walled empire” may yet be reclaimed somewhat from its oriental conservatism and egotistical exclusiveness from the rest of the world. The ill winds have been blowing nobody good. The disasters from cyclones and tornadoes in various parts of the country for the past few days have been terrible and without parallel. The latest calamity occurred Wednesday evening at St. Louis. This death-dealing storm is the worst in the history of Missouri. The storm struck the city at about 6 o’clock and left a path of death and destruction in its wake. Great buildings were wrecked, steamboats on the river were wrenched from their moorings and sunk, in some instances all on board perishing, all the telegraph wires leading from the city were laid to the ground, and fire breaking out in some parts of the city a new force was thus added to the fearful work of destruction. The number of lives lost is not known. Many people were buried beneath the ruins of buildings and until the bodies are recovered the list of the dead will be indefinite. About 500 of the dead have thus far been recovered, with the list constantly growing. This is the worst disaster that has occurred in this country since the Johnstown flood. — 4 - Attention Land Owners.

S. c< invention, which was held at this place Wednesday and Thursday of last week, was pronounced by all who were in attendance to be a most enjoyable affair. It was truly an intellectual treat, especially the lesson on “The Applications of the Golden Rule,” as presented by Rev. Flory of Bourbon, who treated the subject in a very thorough manner. The church was comfortably well filled at all sessions, al though the good people of this place were prepared to entertain many more than were here. Bourbon was the place chosen to hold the next meeting. Mrs. R. Holderman and daughter. Sylva, are spending a few days with friends in Knox this week. Chase.

DON’TSTOP TOBACCO. ’ h How to Cure Yourself While Using It. < The tobacco habit grows on a man un f til his nervous system is seriously affect- \ , ed, impairing health, comfort and happiness. To quit suddenly is too severe a j shock to the system, as tobacco to an i inveterate user becomes a stimulant that ■ his system continually craves. “Baco-1' Curo” is a scientific cure for the tobacco habit, in all its forms, carefully com- i pounded after the formula of an eminent 1 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 you when to stop. We give a written guarantee to cure permanently any case with three boxes, or refund the money with 10 per cent interest. “Baco-Curo” is not a i substitute, but a scientific cure, that cures without the aid of will power and with no inconvenience. It leaves the system as pure and free from nicotine as the day you took your first chew or smoke. Cured By Baco-Curo and Gained Thirty Pounds. From hundreds of testimonials, the originals of which are on tile and oi>eii to inspection' the following is presented: Clayton, Nevada Co., Ark., Jan. 28. 1895 Eureka Chemical «t Mfg.. Co.. LaCrosse, Wls. Gentlemen; For forty years I used tobacco in all its forms. For twenty-five years of that time I was a great sufferer from general debility and heart disease. For fifteen years I tried to quit, but couldn't. I took various remedies, among others •‘No-To-Bac,*’ "The Indiana Tobacco Antidote. ’’ "Double Chloride of Gold.” etc., etc. but none of them did me the least bit of good. Finally, however, I purchased a box of your 'Baco Curo" and it has entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms, and I have increased thirty pounds in weight and am relieved from all the numerous aches and pains of body and mind. I could write a quire of paper upon my changed feelingsand condition. Yours respectfully, F. II Marbury. Pastor C. P. Church, Clayton, Ark.
