A. A A a a a a ff Obituary FESLER FAMILIES INSPECTOR rS LENIENT. Tells Dealers to Be More Careful Canceling Revenue Stamps. (lore's Just the Right Dowel Laxativo Pale, Thin, Nervous? Merey Observed. The looted Hippie bank Is to be reorganized.

There muBt be some mCn-ey In Philadelphia that the wreckers didn't get. Before he returned from Europe, Mr. Bryan was known as the "Commoner." Now he is regarded as even more so. Stensland is willing to return to Chicago, and Chicago is willing that he shall. The sentiment of Joliet is not yet known, but serious opposi-tion is not feared from that quarter.

The insurgents have been blowing up bridges in Cuba. That's more vl fective than blowing about what they are going to do. The masterly speech of the Secre tary of Hon. William Taft at Bath, Maine, will serve all Republi can needs as a campaign text book throughout the fall campaign, so far as national issues are concerned. It was assumed that Hippie was too pious to read Sunday newspapers but maybe he didn't because he was oat the bank doing extra work on the looting game.

Directors of Philadelphia's looted banks, did. not like the looks of the district attorney, so they decided to chip in and pay the depositors. King Edward has been restored to health and is going back home to look after the chores. This will give the hired man a chance to take a vacation. i It is the Czar's plan first to sup- prestf the revolution and then grant reforms.

That may be the way he it feeling at present, but should he get the revolution crushed out, would he continue to see the need of reforms? If it should be decided to nomi tpate Secretary Taft for president, the Republican, convention should make the platform good and strong. It was rumored that Battling Nel son had died from the effects of his punishment, but the truth seems to be that there are-one or two bunches of. gate receipts in him yet. Many friends of Mr. Bryan think he would have done better, if he had remained abroad and sent a substi tute to represent him at that recep tion.

This Alphonse and Gaston business between President Roosevelt and Cannon, may be very entertainirig to the Democrats, but it will soon be get-g ting on the nerves of the Republicans who yearn for a seat on somebody's band wagon. A regular dividend of "500 per cent" on oil stock, is either colossal profit or a tremendous typographical error. Mr. Rockefeller's legal complications have not become sufficiently embarrassing to interfere Barbara Ann Waymire, daughter of Joshua and Susan Green, was born in Baltimore county, in the state of Maryland, on the 2Cth day of September, 1830, and died at her home in Elwood Indiana, after one weeks' illness, on the 20th day of September, 1906, aged seventy-five years, eleven months and twenty-four days. On the 30th day of May 1855, she was united in marriage to John S.

Waymire, near Milton, in Wayne county, Indiana, and on the 10th of the following August, they removed to their farm northeast of Elwood, In dlana, and began their married life a log cabin. To them was given fifty-one years of happy, congenial wedded life. They have seen, and greatly helped Madi son county to change from a wilder ness to a garden; from a tractless forest, to a community with every convenience and luxury of life; and from the abode of the Indian, to the home of culture and refinement. To them were born four children. two of whom, Nancy Waymire and Raffael Hamilton departed this life prior to their mother's death, and George Waymire and Glancil M.

Way mire, who with their father mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate wife and The deceased was a life long be liever In the religion of Christ, and a faithful attendant of the Methodist Protestant church. She was a faithful and loving wife, a kind and affectionate mother, and a blessing and benefit to the comnuni ty in which she lived. Her span of life was longer than many of her friends can hope to reach, and it seems fitting that one so ripe in years and good deeds should be lain away, when all nature has matured her harvests, and is pre' paring for her long winter sleep. Services will be held at the house, No. 2,000 North street, at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, after which the remains will be Interred in the city cemetery.

MOSTLY HOT AIR. Reports That Trust Is After Atlanta Tin Plate. In another column of this paper we reprint a story from the Elwood Rec ord which was perhaps written by a hot air artist, trying to create the im pression that the tin plate trust is after the Atlanta mills, and adding that the trust usually gathers in all the mills not in the trust. People who are familiar with this class of business know that some of the best tinplate mills in the country are independent plants. They are scattered all over the country and have been run on steady time.

There is no particular reason why the trust should want the Atlanta mills and it is hardly probable that it will get it. It could have secured the plant some time ago at much cheaper price than it can be bought for at this time. There is plenty of money behind the Atlanta concern, so it is claimed, and there is every reason to believe that it will be operated steadily. Tipton Tribune. I DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC.

Board of Health at Marion Has Closed Many City Schools. The city board of health has closed all schools In Marion -south of Eithteenth street on account of diph which has caused a number of deaths recently.

The Campers Returned. The Elwood campers who were down at White river, at Conner's dam, delayed breaking camp on account of rain, but are now home and say that they had a very pleasant outing. They brought some fish home with them, al-thought the greatest part of the catch was disposed of while they were Id camp. They will go agin next year, of course.

A cigar box inspector was in the city a few days ago and made the rounds of all the places in the city selling cigars, the boxes stored away to see that the labels were all scratched off according to law. An inspector makes this trip ever so often visiting each place retailing cigars and is allowed by the law to go over the entire stock of cigars owned by any such dealers. It is his business to find whether or not the labels on the empty boxes are scratched off, as demanded by law, and in case he finds any which are not the dealer can be brought to law for not- abiding by the same.

In one place in which he Inspected the stock, he found several boxes stored away that had not been scratched. He was liberal, however, and did not take the matter up, though he warned the denier against such violation, even when the result of lack of thought. There had been no intention to violate the law in this case, but a case of forgetfulness. FARMER UNFORTUNATE. Lost Fine Hone Monday and Had Similar Misfortune.

If you have Kent your best girl a leather souvenir postal card and she has failed to reply, do not blame the United States mails but examine some of the cells in your think tank and see if you do not recollect having placed a on cent stamp on the card. If this is the case, the card has been held for postage, and unless the party to whom it was sent came for-ward with another penny the card has been sent to the dead letter office at Washington. The cards are not recognized as postal cards by the government, and unless a two cent stamp is placed on cards which bear any writing other than the address they are held for postage.
