SUCCESSFUL

After a great deal of effort and cor
lrespondence, Flocken, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
Dr. Howard Co. TO make a special
half price Introductory offer on the
regular fifty cent. size of their cele-
brated specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia
DR.. Howard's specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles that Flocken Is willing to re-
turn the price paid in every case
where it does not give relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specks before the
eyes, constipation. and all forms of
liver and stomach trouble are soon
cured by this scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this spe-
cifc, that Flocken has been able to
secure only limited supply, and ev-
cry one who is troubled with dyspep-
sia, constipation or liver truble should
call upon him at once, or send 25
cents, and get sixty doses OF the best
medicine ever made, on this special
half-price offer, with their personal
guarantee to refund the money II II
does not cure.

However, from the very, first, the To-
cal telephone men have maintained
that he deal here was not in any
sense merger. but was an out and
out buy and sell. The Citizens Tele-
phone company bought from the Cen
tral Union certain rights and sold
to the Bell certain other rights, and
to all appearances this is what has
been done. With this condition, IL is
very doubtful whether the attorney
general could get a hold upon the
companies under the Valentine law.
II appears to be the opinion of those
interested in the deal that the Valen-
tine law does not apply in this case
since they maintain that the transac-
tion was a buy and sell and not
merger.

STORM HARDEST IN YEARS
Considerable Damage Is Done In
City and County.

The hardest rain storm that has
visited this city for several years
occurred about ! 80 O'Clock this
afternoon. The water came down
in torrents, converting the streets
unto rivers, flooding cellars, and
soaking many IA pedestrian before
he could go to shelter. II is esti
mated that about one and half
inches of water fell in less than 20
minutes.
The heavy rains of the past TWEEN
ty four hours have been general
over the county and it is Thought
that much damage had been done.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
damaged by the storm today.

So Claim Officials of Marion
County Company.
LAW IS NOT VIOLATED
Statutes Relating to Trusts
do not Apply.
Local Independent Phone Men do
not Think Deal with Central
Union Can be Stopped.

This mornings Ohio State Journal,
In the business mans column, contains
the following concerning the local
telephone situation, from the pen of
W. b. Jackson:
'It is not probable that any action
will be taken under the Valentine
antitrust act against the merger of
Ohio telephone companies until after
the meeting of the Ohio Independent
Telephone association here August 6.
At that meeting the question of insti-
tuting legal proceedings will be dis
and 1t is probable that steps will be
taken to inquire into the legality of
the contract made at Marion between
pany and the Marion County Tele-
phone company.
"The statement which has been
made that the independent company at
Delaware would be Included in the in
vestigation is not true. While the
Delaware company had proposition
for merger presented to it the COM
pany did not accept it, and so far as
known the Marion case is the only
one in the state.
This news which is emenating from
the capital city is attracting a great
deal OF attention here, since IL refers
to the local situation and the change
In the telephone service in Marion
and Marion county. Then, too, the
prospect of action being brought
under the Valentine law adds spice to
the sauce.

Special Election for a Repre-
sentative.
TO Be HELD THIS FALL
Central Committee will Pro-
bably Nominate.
Is Expected That Gov. Harris will
Order Special Election for DR..
Criswell's Successor Politics.

In Republican circles the politi
cal pot is boiling and everyone i,
hustling. Candidates for the var,
ious city Offices are hard at work
fixing up their fences and it i.
expected that there will be some
warm doings at the primaries which
are to be held August 20.
The office OF representative, made
vacant by the death of DR.. j. H.
Cliswell, will probably be ordered
filled by an election this fall. The
most prominent republican candi-
date mentioned for the place is
Thomas d. Emery secretary of the
local Republican Central committee.
On the Democratic side, William T.
Smith is the probable choice of the
party.
1t is probable that in the event
an election is ordered by the gov
elnor, the County Central commit
tees Of both parties will make the
nominations to do away with the
heavy expense of county conven-
ton.
l.. r. Myers, H. f.. Hill and
Fred Warner promise to put up a
very strenuous three-cornered fight
for the nomination for city solici-
tor. If IA convention were to be
held, the probable candidate might
be forecasted, but under the pri-
mary system the result is very much
in doubt.
The republicans are interested in
the race being put up by Carpen-
ter, Pennell and Kellar for the
mayorality nomination. All three
are working hard and each has a
large number of friends who prom
Use to land the nomination for their
favorite.
The candidates for places in the
city council are too numerous TO
mention. 1t is probable, however,
that the Republicans will renom-
mate all of the present councimen
excepting Members Phillips and
Wilson, who will retire this fall,
having served two terms. The
main fight in the primaries will
probably be for the places OF The
retiring comcilmen.
Samuel Y. Quigley will be re-
nominated for city auditor in the
primaries. As yet few candidates
have announced themselves for the
nominations for the service board .
On the Democratic side, prepare
tions are being made fOr the an
nual meeting of the central com
mittee at which time date fol
the annual convention will be set.
1t is expected that the Democrats
will renOminate Mayor Louis Schertl
and will endorse his administration
1t is the consensus of opinion thai
the present city executive wall have
little trouble in beng reelected By
a large majority.
p. j, Monahan aud John Him
niger are apparently the only at
torneys in the race for the city
solicitorship. Both are well backed
and should make AN interesting
fight in the convention.
AS yet, few Democrats have
come forward with aspirations for
seats IN either the council or th'
