You get out of life just about what you put into it. formerly state auk dgggr for Hearst’s preßiddhU&Woom in Indiana, withheSbquarters at Indianapolis. The welcome news comes from Cleveland, Ohio, that a police magistrate in that city fined Thomas Curtain $5 for writing spring poetry. Thomas was trying to find a suitable word to rhyme with “spring” when arrested. An irate subscriber has written to the editor of the Waterloo Dawn demanding that his paper be stopped. He explained that he has not received a copy of it for two years, and he doesn’t propose to pay for anything he does not get. While Bremen gbt “let down” a little on her glove factory deal, yet she perhaps erred on the right side. Such things never happen in dead towns. The town or individual who never makes a mistake is usually a dead one. It is said that the practice of substitution in the drug business has decreased 50 per cent during the past year. Manufacturers of standard preparations give all the credit to the newspapers for these splendid results. —Indianapolis Star. The editors of Indiana have been invited by the Canadian government to visit that country next July. The excursion will include Winnipeg, Banff, Fort Gray, St. Boniface and points in the Assiniboine valley. It is expected that about 600 editors will accept this opportunity to visit Cmada. Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge and several other prominent men of the state will accompany the excursion. Lieutenant-Governor Gilbert, of Fort Wayne, was nominated for congress on the first ballot by the republicans of the Twelfth district a few days ago. His democratic opponent, James Robinson, is the present incumbent, and very popular and one of the best handshakers in the district. As Gilbert has genial qualities and is also a mighty good hand-shaker it looks as if the contest over in the Twelfth would be a very close one. The senate committee on postal affairs has restored to the poetoffice appropriation bill the clause allowing rural mail carriers the privilege of carrying on private business on their routes where it does not interfere with their regular duties. This is to be allowed in addition to an increase of salary to $720. The report has been submitted to the senate, which will reopen the discussion, the house having discarded the above clause from the bill several days ago. It does beat all how the Hearst boom is growing. The Katzenjammer editor, as he is sometimes called, seems to be receiving more formal and outspoken endorsements by democratic county conventions in this part of the country than any other candidate for the democratic presidential nomination. Whether hie boom is an airy bubble that is likely to burst at the slightest puncture remains to be seen. Hearst’s candidacy impresses a great many democrats as being a sort of mushroom affair having very little substance to it.

There seems to be a growing tendency in towns and pities against the idea of giving bonuses to secure the location of factories. The bonus business has been operated to such an extent for several years as to cause a revulsion of feeling regarding it among the people generally, and consequently fewer and smaller bonuses are being given for such purposes. To reimburse a manufacturing firm for the expense of tearing up and moving is not out of the way as a rule, whore the firm is all right, and that is about all that is asked for or expected these days. A few days ago Mrs. Albert Stockly, living near Elkhart, missed her 14months old child, Helen. A search was i instituted and the little one was found drowned, its head caught in a pail of dishwater. The child had evidently tried to drink the water. Rev. William Hinshaw, who is serving a life sentence in the Michigan City prison, will be compelled to wait some time before he secures a parole or pardon, the state board of pardons having adjourned without taking up his case. The trial of Walter Brown, indicted for complicity in wrecking the Indiana National bank at Elkhart, began in Indianapolis this week. ^’eryTousekeepeF should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will eave not only time because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold W ater Starches are put up in % pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs.” Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Ladies who take pride in beautiful, clear white clothes should use Russ' Bleaching Blue. Refuse imitations. Tragedy Averted “Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved," writes Mrs. W. Watkins, of Pleasant City, Ohio. “Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terri ble cough set in besides. Doctors treat ed him, but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and our darl ’ ing was saved. He’s now sound, and well.” Everybody ought to know, jt’s the only sure cure for coughs, colds and ’ all lung disease. Guaranteed by B. E. Williams, druggist.

The would be assassin shot twice through the bedroom window, neither shot taking effect. y The motive for the attempted crime poef sibly grew out of a divorce case which hie wife filed against him, alleging cruel treatment. h * Ex-Councilman Henry C.
