Foraker Men Win In.

The parties recommended by Sena-
tor Foraker, for postmaster at Lima,
st Marys and Napoleon, were sent to
the Senate by the President Tuesday,
and confirmed within three minutes
from receipt of same.
Behind the St. Marys' appointment
is quite history, John ]. Sullivan,
the present incumbent being remov-
ed to make place for the new one.
1t appears that some time since a
post Office inspector found out that
the postmaster to secure the place,
had given several notes in quite a
large sum 10 George Davis, formerly
dispenser of Government patronage
at Wapakoneta. Mr.. George Wald-
OFF, of Toldeo, and Mr.. Davis have for
years been the only genuine dispens-
ers of offices in the northwest part of
the State, and it has been rumored
for years that it took money to get
an Office up there. Mr.. Davis got a
fat appointment as associate U. s,
Judge in the west, although only a
short time previously admitted to
the bar, greatly to the surprise OF
everybody that knew the young man
Explanations may now be in order on
Mr.. Davis part, or he may also lose

Obituary..

Archibald Lament died November
25, 1913, aged 50 years. Z months and
Is days. He was born in County An
trim, Ireland. In 1888 he came TO
America with his parents, and after
a few years sojourn in Eastern New
York, finally seItled in Logan county,
Ohio. He was maIried To Miss Amy
Johnston November q, 1917. Mrs.
Lament and seven children remain
to mourn their loss, five having gone
before to the better country"
He had been a member of the Gov
enanter church of Northwood for
about sixty years. For thirty-eight
years he was deacon and much OF
that time he was also treasurer OF
the congregation. His devotion to
duty involved in these relations were
extraordinary. He took delight in
the most arduous labors.
The poor, both in the congrega-
tion and outside, had a true friend
in him. His affairs at home never
held him when a call for relief came
from the needy. Many a call of this
kind came to MIN, for people in want
soon learn where to go.
His even temperament won univer'
sal esteem. He was a wise and safe
counselor. He is greatly missed In
the community, church and home,
His last sickness was protracted, but
ne did not complain. His faith was
strong and clear. Often he repeated
psalms and tavorite portions OF scrip
ture. The funeral was held on the
56th anniversary of the marriage OF
himself and Mrs. Lament. Ii nc
doubt was a sad assemblage com
pared with that of 80 years before
but with our departed friend it would
not be so. He, we may well believe
was in that company arrayed IN
white, from whose eyes God has
wiped away all their tears.

Japan on Land.

a ST. Petersburg dispatch by way
of Vienna to the London Times es-
Inmates that by March 20 the Rus
sian forces in Eastern Asia will ag-
gregate l77. goo men, including $4,000
railroad guards. This, is assumed,
will be the limit of reinforcement un-
til summer, because the railroad can
not carry provisions and supplies for
an army of more than $50, COO. That
is discouraging small estimate OF
Russia's potentiality in land warfare,
but it is not surprising and it is not
unique. The high German military
authority, presumably not unfriendly
to Russia, the Militaer Wochenblatt,
of Berlin, upon the basis of a wealth
of deta tailed information, figures that
the Russians had ten days ago in al
Manchuria and Korea only l5S, 81
men and-for field use-256 guns
The japanese, ii is estimated, at tht
sa me time had l65. .ssi men and 20.
/ guns.
| Between the two armies, in numbe
of men, there was thus little differ
Ience' but the Japanese superiorit.
in artillery was simply overwhelm
ing. Worse still, however, the Woch
lenblatt estimates that in the mos
favorable circumstances, with th'
lSiberian railroad entirely given n
to military uses, and with no break
downs or blockades, it would be posi-
BILE in the first eight weeks of tn
war for Russia to put not more thai
rs, 900 additional men into the field
If by the first week of April there ar
not more than 235, 600 Russian soldier
at the scene of war, there will b
danger of Japanese control of tn
land as complete as of the sea.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes. August Flower still has the largest sale
of any medicine In the civilized world. Your
mothers and Grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard Of Appendicitis. Nervous Prostration
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 q
