Bpighted Little City of Edinburg, Indiana, an Example. Edinburg, Ind, June 29 —What justs will do can be seen by com- qring the once prosperous Edin-| with the new stricken town. Jo 1891, the National Starch Manu- feturing Company was formed and | to absorb plants in Indiana, Ohio and other States. The factory in Edinburg was) taken at $175,000, when it was really worth but $125,000. It was promptly | dosed down, throwing seventy five | nen out of employment and robbing | the merchants of $680 a week. | families moved away, the price of | starch went up 20 per cent, while | qorn decreased 25 per cent, and real atte depreciated. Farmers took their corn elsewhere, and likewise spent their meney in other towns, wherea better price could be had. The factory buildings, which were} comparatively new, are rotting down. | Madison, Columbus and Frarklin | we other places that have been | ifected by this one trust, although | they have not been so badly hurt ae the little town of Edinburg. | Bucklen’s Arnica Salve | The Best Salve in the world for mts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt | rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped | hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin | eruptions, and positively cures piles | q@nopay required.

Cheaper Insurance May Come Frem the Decision Ousting 73 Companies. St. Lous, July 1.—Attorney Gen-| eral Crow, who is in St. Louis, says that every foreign insurance compa- | ny in Missouri must quit the state | within ten days. “The effect of this | decision,” he said ‘‘is simply to pro- hibit the seventy three companies | involved from doing business in Missouri. They are out entirely and might as well not exist so far as| Missouri is concerned.” “Is there any way in which they can get back into the state” was ask- ed. “None that I know of except by an order of the supreme court which granted the writ of ouster, and I don’t see how they can go about} getting such an order from the court. They have been held to be MUTINY ON THE PANTHER. Twenty-Four ot the Cruiser’s Crew Placed tn Irons.

Now sce if there is not a re duction. The insurance men have been consoling themssives with the belief that all they have to do to re- sume business is to promise to be good and not form any agreement, take out fresh liconses and the thing is done, but they are mistaken. The life is knocked out of their insurance trust.” St. Louis agents believe the su preme court decision has settled the fate of the St. Louis and Kansas City boards of underwriters. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has lame back aod weak kidneys, malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures constipa- tion, headache, fainting spells, sleep- lessness and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and re- stores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at H. L. Tucker's Drug Store. LONG TRIP IN AUTOMOBILE.

The prisoners are from Muscogee, Indian Territory, and are en route to prison at Jefferson City, Columbus, Ohio, and at the reform school. The Sedalia Demoerat, speaking of Jones, says: Readers of the Democrat will re- member having read the account of an outrage committed on a white roads.
