Don't Experiment.

When grip attacks a person of
nervous temperament there is usu-
ally a great depression of spirits,
the patient is plunged in despair,
and no amount of argument or rail-
lery has any effect on his misery.
The man or woman whose nerves
become so shattered that it is a tor
ture to remain in bed, and the night
is passed in a vain attempt to get a
little sleep, is on the down grade
to nervous prostration, insanity
and death. There is no time then
to experiment with new and untried
remedies. Neglect or delay in this
respect may prove a fatal mistake.
DIR. Miles Nervine is the best of
all medicines for the nervous, tired
out and sleeplesS victim of the grip,
just as 1t is the best remedy for all
other weaknesses and disorders of
the nervous system. 1t attacks the
minute germs of impurity clustered
in the blood and thoroughly routs
them out of every hidden corner of
the body.
Il was extremely nervous, and
although l doctored with several
physicians / could not gain
strength. My nerves became SO
completely unstrung that l could
scarcely sleep at all, and / thought
| should surely die. l began TAX
ing DR.. Miles Nervine, and in less
than a week / was feeling very
much better. After taking six bot
ties l was completely restored to
health. c. E. HACKETT,
"Greene, N. Y"
A trial package of DR.. Miles
~favorite treatment for the grip,
consisting of DR.. Miles Nervine,
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills and DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills, will
be sent absolutely free of cost to
any person sending name and adj
dress on a postal card, requesting
the samples, and mentioning the

A joint Republican caucus was again held
last evening to consider the appropriation
bill. The members succeeded in getting to-
gether, and the bill will be brought in this
morning at the time set. 1t was taken up
last night and discussed section by section,
and item by item. A few minor and unim-
portant changes were made. but the bill as

changes made were chiefly regarding the
salaries of clerks in the Statehouse.
The bill, which will be brought in this
morning, will be practically the same bill
as was reported by the committee. The
work was not completed until about 2
o'clock this morning.

Wabnsh PeopIe and Memorial Hal.

w OANB n SORAC N~A0 ASA AAsAAAs
From present indications it would seem
that the recent act of the General Assem-
bly, giving the commissioners Of Wabash
county the power to condemn the small
frame building situated adjacent to the new
memorial hall in the city Of Wabash would
not be conclusive in settling the matter. 1t
was learned yesterday that there is a fac
ton in Wabash which is opposed to the prin-
ciple of the thing. Some OF the members Of
the faction were in the Senate yesterday
and were of the opinion that it was unjust
to compel a man to sell property which was
constantly approaching in value when he
was able and willing to pay the taxes on it.
They further allege tina when the new build
ing was first agitated another equally de-
sirable site was offered to the county which
included the whole of one corner opposite
the courthouse, but because of the wishes
of several prominent property owners living
near the present site the offer was not ac-
cepted. SO bitter is the opposition to the
present act that one of the opposition yes
terday said that there was no doubt but
that the matter would be taken to the Su-
preme Court to settle the constitutionality
of the act

the matter said to the Journal:

IONS 10 this beautiful cup for Mr.. Fortune.

ROBBED HIS FATHERS FRIEND.
John w. Banta Arrested on Charge
of Grand Larceny.

John W. Banta twenty-four years old, a
resident Of Brooklyn. N Y, whose papers
indicate that he was or is a captain in the
Salvation Army. was arrested at the Cen
trail Union Mission last night by Detective
Herndon and locked up on a charge of
grand larceny. 1t is alleged that he stole
about $50 worth of jevelry from the house
of John w. Matchett. No. l226 Sth street
northwest. The prisoner admits his guilt
and the detective recovered some of the
property at a place where Banta told him
he had put 1t. Several articles of the
stolen property were recovered at the time
of the arrest. They were in pocket book
that Banta threw away when the officer
started with him to headquarters.
Mr.. Matchett, VINO is a religious worker,
lived in Brooklyn years ago and was ac-
quainted with the parents OF Capt"
Banta- When the young man came here
few days ago he looked up the old friend
OF his parents and was welcomed to his
home. Mr.. Matchett was only too glad he
said, to have an opportunity to entertain
the son of his old friend That the young
man should have turned out TO be a reig-
ious worker more than pleased Mr. Mat
chett, and the latter had all the confidence
in the world in him after he heard him lead
in prayer. Capt" Banta visited the mis-
sion and took part in the religious serv-
ices.
When the gold watch and chain, several
gold pins and other articles OF jewelry were
taken, Mr.. Matchett lost confidence in the
son OF his old friend. and the arrest follow
ed.
II was hard up" was the reason the
prisoner gave the detective for his conduct
He will be given a preliminary hearing to-
morrow.

A Texas Tale of Jealousy.

From the Galveston News.

with. l am sure they can talk to one an
other case in point: You see that tur-
kew gobbler and hen out there? Let me tell
YOU an actual fact about them. Last sum-
mer Mr. L. M. johnson presented me with
A very handsome peacock. He was splen-

was the wonder of the neighbOrhood. one
afternoon | saw him strutting around ana
making a magnificent display of his gor-
admiringly for awhile and then trotted over
to where the gobbler was quietly mapping
under a peach tree. They were engaged Tor
a moment in earnest conversation. Then
Mr. Gobbler Strengthened himself up, stiff
fened his wings, gave strut, and proudly
spread his tail feathers. Madame gave a
! contemptuous toss of her head and evil

| fire in the Sobbler's eye, and told MIR. Bou-
| bel, my engineer, who was with me at the
| time, to look out and we would see some
| fun and we did. That gobbler marched
straight over to where the peacock was,

of his tall took no more interest in life, bu
