Decatur Democrat, Volume 25, Number 28, Decatur, Adams County, 14 October 1881 — Page 2

THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. __ ..._ r . £_■ BY A. J. HILE. Friday, October, 14, 1881. Foster, the Republican candidate for governor or Ohio was elected. Majority not ascertained. Agricultural fairs, beginning with the Mate and running down through the counties, have not been a unaniBi us success. Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, whose trial recently occurred has been suspended from the M. E. Church. It is supposed he will appeal to the judicial conference. The Kokomo Dispatch says there was 510 convictions before the justices of that county, of which number 304 were the direct result of the use of intoxicating liquor and 158 indirectly connected with the use of ardent spirits. One of the famous 306 supporters of Gen. Grant at the Chicago convention has been heard from. He is from the South and has asked Arthur to reward him for his services with a;i office. Conkling is another; where is the rest of them? The steamer Corwin sent in search of the Jeanette, lost in the Polar sea, landed on Wrangell Land, Aug. 12th, formally taking possession in the name of the United States, and giving the new possession the name of New Columbia. It would make a fine summer resort these hot seasons. Clipped coin is taken at a heavy discount in a great many places, owing to the fact that the government will only receive it for old bullion, or at twenty per cent less than its face value, less the amount clipped from each piece. The question of throwing out clipped coin is talked of in many place*. The result will be that in the end mutilated,coin will have to go. The Pennsylvania Democratic Committee which recently met, concluded their resolutions with the following: ‘•That all good citizens, regardless of party affiliations, sincerely mourn the death of President Garfield, and that we as representatives of more than 400,000 Democratic voters, express their individual and collective grief at the calamity which has befallen the republic, their sorrow with the domestic affliction of the President's stricken household, and their execration of the assassin and of the murderer's foul crime.” The Fort Wayne Gazette says of the election of Bayard as President pro tern, of the senate, that senator Edwards fitly characterized the election, as “a prize won in the lottery of assassination.” Had the Republicans been in a majoriity, and had they elected senator Edwards, woud it have changed the character.of the election? In other words, if that statement is true, the result would have been the same, no matter who would have been elected. Again: who originated this lottery? How many prizes were they? Who drew the other prizes? Or, is it the argument of a flippant demagogue? If the Republican party is forced to use such argument to save itself, honorable burial is better than sucessful disgrace.

The people of Bluffton have come down from their lofty flight and jubilation over a great trunk line of railroad, the Chicago & Atlantic. They, after their disappointment, talked of another great trunk line that had no existence except in their imagination, which it seems they have given up, and are now talking of a Shoo Fly road from Union City to Bluffton, taking a great deal of comfort over the benefits it will confer when completed. They have got down to something practical at last; something they can handle. They have the best wishes of The Democbat that their new enterprise will be brought to a successful termination, and that it may benefit them equal to theirhopes expressed. The Stalwarts met their Waterloo in the New York State Republican Convention last week. The Half Breeds elected U. S. Senator Miller, Chairman, after the Stalwarts had requested their adversaries not to humiliate them by so doing, by a vote of 298 to 190, and afterwards carried every thing their own way with a high hand, placing Ha's Breeds on nearly every place on the ticket, going so far as to nominate James W. Husted for State Treasurer. The Stalwarts were humiliated and sullen. In short they had measured out to them just what Conkling had always given to those who opposed him—snubs. The result will be the Stalwarts will look on and see the Half Breeds beaten with great complacency—satisfaction. If their object was revenge, rather than success, they acted wisely. The Bluffton Chronicle seems to think The Democrat is worrying over Bluffton, and her prospects, all of which is a mistake. The Democrat is working io build up Decatur; to build up Adams county; to tear down no town or community. The Democrat heart-

ily rejoices over the prosperity of the people of Bluffton, of Wells county; of Indiana and the people at large. Neither envy or worry has anything to do with Tit® Democrat, being I perfectly willing that Bluffton people and Bluffton papers shall brag and boast to their heart’s content. Last Saturday, Mr. Lee Kapp, of Bluffton, bought of Christian Shafer six vacant lots in Crabbs addition. He contemplates building three houses upon them this fall. Mr. George Gardiner, of Bluffton is also prospecting for Decatur property. —Decatur Democrat. Mr. Kapp says be his only left a a bid on the lots, which for the whole number would be but a trifle of what one lot in Bluffton would be worth. We must say we were somewhat surprised when we noticed the statement in the Democrat, knowing Mr. Kapp to be strictly temperate and exceedingly virtuous, what he would do with those lots, but on inquiry found that they were wanted for a turnip patch.— Bluffton Times. Mr. Kapp called at this office Saturday last and authorized The Democrat to say that the statement made by us was true as stated. Mr. Kapp has also been consulting with Mr. Moon& Christen, the boss contractors, in regard to building, and proposes to build at an early date. Our people do not wish to invest in Bluffton property, even for turnip patches. Some of our people were looking up a location for a graveyard and had an eye on Bluffton, but that is off now, in consequence of the cackle of the Times.

MOMIOt TH ITEMS. BY “VIBE. ’ Wheat and grass are growing fine, except some of the early wheat which is damaged by the fly. Will Fonner is visiting friends in Huntertown. A party of movers from near Willshire stopped in town for dinner one day last week, enroute for Williamsport. Corn fodder is badly damaged by the rains. Perry Lewton claims the honor of being the owner of the fastest horseflesh in this vicinity. Mr. Smith, partner of tha mill here, from Arcola, Allen Co., is stopping at J. Christen's jr. Lyman Hart’s sister who has been visiting him left for her home in New York. Wanted, in Root township, one more teacher to teach school no. 3, or what is known as the Knapp school; male prefered. Singing taught by Prof. Kimball, closed last Tuesday night. Perry Robinson sold his new saw mill last week to Smith and Coulter, from Arcola, where they own another mill; consideration, $4,200, including some 15 acres of timber. Immediate possession was given.

Pleasant fun items. BI “SVLLA.” Roads rough. Sickness is abating in our village. Miss Sarah Galbraith is visiting friends in this place. The robust form of Wm. Hill is again seen on our streets. 11. C. Stetler is improving rapidly. Some of our boys have a black lip. Farmers are making cider. The Sunday school convention was a pic-nic. About ninety of our citizens assembled at the residence of Rev. D. B. Reckard, on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of his marriage. The presents were numerous and costly. All were pleasantly entertained. We retired thinking of the twentieth anniversary of our wedded life, and are yet meditating over it.

Liquid Gold. —Dan’l Plank, of Brooklyn, Tioga county, Pa., describes it thus: “I rode thirty miles for a bottle of Thomas' Eclectric Oil, which effected the wonderful cure of a crooked limb in six applications; it proved worth more than gold to me.” Bradford, Pa.—Thos. Fitchau, Bradford, Pa., writes: “I enclose money for Spring Blossom, as I said I would if it cured me. My dyspepsia has vanished. with all its symptoms. Many thunks; I shall never be without it in the housa. Price 50c. trial bottles 10c. Says a prominent horseman, in giving his opinion of Vanderbilt’s mare Maud 8.; whose great feat at Chicago put her at the head (and dubbed her ‘ Queen of the Turf,”) “In my opinion the time is not far distant when a two minute gait will be recorded.” It will certainly be the case if horsemen continue to use Kendall's Spavin Cure, as it limbers up the joints, removes all blemishes, and in fact has made a complete revolution in the horse business.

* •A Cathartic Pills Combine the choicest cathartic principles in medicine, in proportions accurately adjusted to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are the result of years of careful study and practical experiment, and are the most effectual remedy yet discovered for diseases caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectual treatment. Aren's Pilis are specially applicable to this class of diseases. They act directly on the digestive and assimilative processes, and restore regular healthy aetion. Their extensive use by physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they ars positively free from calomel or any injurious properties, and can be administered to children with perfect safety. Ater's Pills are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costivenesa. Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite, Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memoir, Numbness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic, Gripes, Diarrhtza, Dysentery, Gout. Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill they have no equal. While gentle in their action, these Pills are the most thorough and searching cathartic that can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is healing. They stimulate the appetite and digestive organs; they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to the whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
