What do you Think of This.

Lima, o., Sept. % "A two days ses-
sion of Lima Presbytery closed to-day
with the first exercise ever made in
Northern Ohio of episcopal author
ity," and the action has caused a stir
in Presbyterian church circles. It
came on the resignation of Rev. John
Montgomery, pastor of the First
church at Findlay. He wished to
withdraw to accept the pastorate at
East Liverpool, o., which is the larg-
est Presbyterian congregation in Ohio
a delegation of Findlay people, with
two attorneys, argued against
acceptance of his resignation, and
Rev. Montgomery, against his wishes,
was forced to return to Fiudlay.
Mr.. Montgomery. was one of the
considered when Dr.. Kalb
resigned the pastorate of the First
church of this city.

PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT
Says There Must Be No
Discrimination.
Between Union or NOn-Un-
ion. Catholic. Jew or
GENTLE.

President Roosevelt is back again
in Washington. His first day was 4
busy one. He had long conference
with Acting Secretary Garfield of
the Department of Commerce and
l. ibor, and the latest developments
of the Miller case were discussed.
Then there was another conference
with Samuel Gompers, President of
the American Federation of Labor,
Mr.. Mitchell, the president and sever
al other members of the executive
council of federation of labor, con-
|cerning the same case.
PRESIDENTS STATEMENT.
Concerning the case of William A.
Miller, the president made the fol-
lowing statement:
''As regards the Miller case, have
little to add to what 1 have already
said. In dealing with it I ask you to
remember that 1 am dealing purely
with the relation of the government
to its employees.
''In the employment and dismissal
of men in the government service l
can no more recognize the fact that
a man does not belong to a union as
being for or against him than l can
to recognize the fact that he is a
Protestant or Catholic, Jew or a
Gentle, as being for or against him.
WILL NOT DISCRIMINATE.
SIN the communications sent me
by various labor organizations pro-
testing against the retention of Mil
Ter in the government printing office
the grounds alleged are twofold:
First, that he is a non-union man;
second that he is not personally fit.
THE question of his personal fit
ness is one to be settled in the rou-
tine of administrative detail and
cannot be allowed to conflict with or
to communicate the larger question
of governmental discrimination for
or against him or any other man be-
cause he is or is not d member of a
union This is the only question now
before me for decision, and as to this,
my decision is fnal.1

QUESTION ANSWERED..

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale
of any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grahdmothers never thought of
using anything else for indigestion OF Bilious
ness Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous Prosiration
or Heart Failure. etc. They used August
Flower TO clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. regulate
the action OF the liver. stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system. and that Is
all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a
dose OF Green's August Flower in liquid
form. TO make you satisfied there Is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get this
reliable remedy at

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN
General Summary For The Week
Ending Monday. Sept. Is. 1908

The temperature averaged little
below normal. Frost was quite gen
eral on the 18th and 2sth. Not much
damage was reported; only a few
in the east report
late corn in exposed places injured.
Very light showers occurred on the
night of the 26th in all sections, but
the drought continues quite severe
in the south where pastures are dry
ing up, stock water is getting scarce
and plowing is delayed.
The figures following the Corn and
Wheat Region stations show the
amount of precipitation in inches
and hundredths to be light.
The cutting of corn has progressed
satisfactorily. In many southern
and middle counties the bulk of the
crop is in shock. In the north there
is considerable late corn that will re-
quire another week to ripen.
Wheat seeding is progressing satis-
factorily in the north. but in the
south only little wheat has been
sown and that on corn and oat-
ground. Early-sown wheat is ger
minating well in the north.
Glover seed is yielding light to fair.
Buckwheat is reported a fair crop.
Decay and blight in potatoes is re-
ported in many northern counties.
Pastures and gardens are holding out
well in the north, but are badly dried
up in the south. Apples continue
dropping and have been blown
off some by high winds in northeast
ern counties; only light crop can be
expected.

Bands Could Not Play.

The big centennial parade in Chi
cago Tuesday was without music, a
feature that attracted much atten-
ton. The Musicians union had re-
fused its members to take any part
because their constitution forb'ds
them to unite with anything in which
enlisted men in the service of the
Government take part, and the
Washington Marine Band had been
eng aged TO play at one of the meet
ings held in connection with the cell
ebration.

Senator Hanna Rips
Up Tom johnson.

Senator Hanna, Colonel Herrick
and Senator W. G. Harding made
two splendid speeches, at Berlin
Heights, Tuesday afternoon and San
dusky in the evening. Mr.. Hanna re-
piled plainly to the attack of Tom
johnson, the Democratic nominee
for Governor. Referring to John
sons attitude upon public questions
he said the tendency of the Democ-
racy in this campaign was toward
socialism, which was akin to an
archy. He said the Mayor in his
greed for power was appealing to the
baser instincts of his hearers, and
endeavoring to create discord and
dissatisfaction, to advance his own
selfish ends. The Senator was full
of his theme, in splendid voice, and
never was more eloquent

Over hundred men of the gallant

last week. Col. Candy met the boys
for the first time since the war, and
they had a most happy time. Six
companies of the regiment were en-
listed in Champaign, but number
were present at the reunion from
Logan. The regiment was one of the
best that went out from the State,
and has splendid record. The Col
oneI had such a good time that he
will try to attend all future re-
unions.
