Watson, of Rushville, wasnominated for governor at the republican convention at Indianapolis, Thursday. The nomination was made unanmous on the fifth ballot. Tom Marshall, of Columbia City, the democratic candidate for governor, is one of the strongest men the democrats could have placed in the field. He is popular, a fine speaker and a convincing campaigner. His opponents will know that he is in the race. Henry A. Barnhart, editor of the Rochester Sentinel, is b^ing urged by a large number of democrats of the Thir teenth district as an available candidate for congress. In answer to numerous inquiries as to whether or not he will be a candidate Mr. Barnhart frankly says that he will not be a candidate in the sense of going out and soliciting a nomination, but if his party thinks he is the right man and will back him with its united support throughout the district he will be at their service. Otherwise he will not. He realizes that without complete harmony >n his party and its full strength manifested in the congreseional campaign the fight against the big republican majority in the district will be a futile one. Mr. Barnhart looks at the matter in a very sensible light. He is not inclined to chase after the more or lees uncertain honors of political life, and says if he goes into the race it will be at the call of his friends and not because of an ambition to enter politics. If nominated he will make a strong race. Notice. Take notice that all garbage, ash heaps and other refuse must be removed from back yards, streets and alleys at ouce. This order will be enforced. M.

A Series of Great Sermons. The sermons of Dr. Becker at the Presbyterian church for the past two weeks have been such a delight to bible students, particularly as well as to all who have eat eagerly drinking in deep draughts of the sacred themes so lucidly and clearly expounded, 7 Dr. Becker is a veritable encyclopedia of scriptural knowledge. Clear cut and forceful in hie epeach, each word, each eentence with a purpose, with a voice of wonderful richness, with flights of elo quence that are electric; these are only the steps to bring out the great truths of the greater message of that greatest of all teachers, the lowly Man of Nazareth. As a singer Dr. Becker might easily take rank with the leading singing evangelists as, with a voice of power and sweetness, he brings out with great expression the thoughts in the beautiful and appropriate hymns which have been so greatly enjoyed at the services. Prohibition Convention. The St. Joseph county prohibition convention will be held at South Bend Monday, April 6, at 10:30 a. m , for the purpose of nominating a county ticket, and electing delegates to the state convention, May 19 and 20. Michael J. Fanning, the great Irish orator of the East, will be present and address the convention. He has few equals, and certainly no superiors on the platform. Is a typical Irishman, as witty as he is eloquent, and is known as the “Prohibition Cyclone.” No one can afford to miss hearing this great man. He has been engaged by the state committee for a limited time only. MrFanning will also speak at night. Public Sales.

The Doctor’s supreme confidence in these little Candy Cold Cure Tablets—Preventics— is certainly complete, It’s a SIOO, against 25 cents—pretty big odds. And Preventics, remember contains no quinine, no laxative, nothing harsh nor sickening. Pneumonia would never appear if early colds were always broken. Safe and sure for feverish children. 48 Preventics 25 cents. All dealers. Too Much Clothing. The chief quarrel which hygiene has with clothing is that there is too much of it; garments come down too far, are too tight, too heavy, too hot, writes Dr. Woods Hutchinson. We do much more harm to our health by overloading ourselves with clothing and by overindulging curselves in the luxury of warmth—cramping the movements of the body. Interfering with the respiration, depriving the skin of its most inalienable right, the right to fresh air, absorbing the perspiration and making a refrigerating cold pack for the j body after exercise—than is done by wearing tight stays or tight boots.
