QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-

world. 4 Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought OF using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard Of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart

clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation of undigested food, regulate the
and organic action of the system, and

For this rental of SO year the central

from the East where he and Geo. W.
Marble attended the meetings of the
members of the American Bicycle CON-
psny, a new organization which will
own and operate plants that produce
rs to so per cent of the bicycles made
in this country. The Indiana Novelty
Manufacturing company is the only
wood rim factory in this association.
Mr.. Marble is still in the East where he
is engaged in work in connection with
the committee on manufacturing, of
which he is a member. He Will prob
ably return about the middle or latter
part of this week. Plymouth is to be
congratulated on this substantial rec
ognition of the position in the trade
occupied by this institution, which is
the largest wood rim factory In the
world.

paper published in New York and
which probably stands at the head of
the list of bicycle trade papers, has the

wants more and has set his stakes
very high for the coming year as a

scribed all from members of the
Methodist Episcopal church i'll Indi-
ana, nine-tenths of which is to go to
Dep auw, that being a Methodist
school,.
The three conferences in the state
have pledged $55o,ooo as a new en-
dowment fund for the college and
the rest of the million is to be raised
by private contributions. There are
about 10000 Methodists in Indiana
and the raising of a million dollars
will require S. from each one.
In the entire United States it is
proposed to raise $4,000, 900 among
Methodists in the Goth century
movement for educational purposes.
The church must have considerable
faith in its Indiana membership to
put so large share of the burden up
on this state, yet DR.. Hickman thinks
the sum can be secured without anv
serious difficulty. He will see that
it is done.

A Narrow Escape.

A boy named FirestOne of this place,
Is said to have come near losing his life
at the b. & o. water tank Wednesday
afternoon. Firestone in company with
two other small boys bad crawled be-
tween two box cars and were sitting on
the bumpers of a west bound freight
train, intending to beat their way to
Walkerton. The train started rather
suddenly and Firestone was thrown to
the track. A brakeman who was about
to jump on the car, saw the boy fall, and
by 9 mere chance caught BIN by the arm
and dragged him from the track, scarce
ly foot from in front of the wheels of
the car. Had it not been for the quick
action of the brakeman, the boys body
would have been severed by the wheels.

Governor Roosevelt say

Governor Roosevelt says this
country stands more in need of
brains than wealthy men. He says:
"Our country could better afford to
lose all of the men who have
amassed millions than to lose one
half of its college bred men. We
can get along without men OF
enormous wealth, but not without
men of brains" A college educa
ton, however, does not signify that
the man who possesses it also pos
sesses brains. Yet, few men who
complete college course, can do SC
without becoming better men. II

keener perception end enables them
