Temperance News.

White and Jackson counties, Indiana,
voted on the local option question Mon
day, and both went "dry." Twenty
seven saloons were put out of business.
The contest in both counties was char
acterized by much bitterness, but there
was no trouble. Sixty-five of lndiana'S
ninety-two counties have now voted dry,
and but one has voted wet. Up 10 this
time 1854 saloons have been ouSted.
Tuesday Delaware county, which con-
tains the city of Muncie, with popula-
ton of $4,000, went dry by majority Of
1852. The city of Muncie, which is the
largest place that has yet voted on local
option, voted dry by a majority of 209.
Eighty-two saloons were put out OF bust
ness.
A local option election was held yes
terday in Ross county, Ohio, in which is
located the city of Chillicothe, and the
vets won by majority of about 1000
The entire city administration was for
the vets, every policeman in the city
being actively at work with the saloon
keepers. The policemen and other city
officials were most brutal in their treat
ment OF the temperance workers. La
dies and ministers of the Gospel were ar
rested on flimsy charges by corrupt po-
licemen, and many outrageS were per-
petrated upon the dry forces. The vic
tory OF the whiskey element is certain to
have a reaction.

Stomach Distress.

Every family here ought to keep some
Diapepsn in the house, as any one OF
you may have an attack OF Indigestion or
Stomach trouble at any time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will digest
anything you eat and overcome a sour
stomach in five minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or what
little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays
like lump of lead in your stomach, or if
you have heartburn, that is sign of lndi-
gestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for 50-cent case
of Pape's Diapepsin and take one TRAN
guile after supper tonight. There will be
no sour risings, no belching OF undigested
food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or
heartburn, fulness or heavy feeling in the
stomach, Nausea, Debilitating Headaches,
Dizziness or Intestinal gripping. This
will all 90, and, besides, there will be no
food left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauSeouS odorS.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
all stomach misery, because il will take
hold OF your food and digest it just the
same as if your stomach wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief from all your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain more
than sufficient to cure case of Dyspepsia
or Indigestion.

And Senator Scott defends it!

THE report that former Governor VIM.
M. o. Dawson will remain in West Vir-
ginia, instead OF accepting foreign APP
pointment, seems TO cause good deal Of
concern to the politicians-and well it
may. The Governors uabroken success
in political affairs might prove an incen-
tive for him TO seek just one more pro-
motion, and try for seat in the United
States Senate. A great many persons
think that Senator Scott has had all the
political preferment to which he is en-
titled, and that our State would be the
better for a change His policy OF stand
ing pat is now out of date. Thoughtful
people recognize the fact that there must
be change in our present tariff policy
that the consumers rights must have some
consideration. If he shows no sign OF
change OF heart, if he is too set in his
ways to realize that conditions demand
different policies, why, he ought to be
succeeded by some one who does recog-
niZe these facts.
We should like to see Governor Daw-
son 60 to the United States Senate. Such
men are needed to resist the encroach-
ments of corporations and to fight the
selfish politicians who think only of their
own personal interests. The Governor
has very conclusively shown that he is
not afraid Of corporate influence. The
fact that his administration increased the
assessment of railroads IN West Virginia
from $33, OOO, 900 to SIT ,0OO, 900 valuation,
and vastly increased the taxable basis Of
other public corporations, is evidence OF
his courage and ability, and he has shown
himself TO be wise and patriotic man, as
well as shrewd politician.
His election to the Senate would be a
good thing for our State and for the ma
ton.
