CHE DECATUT? DEMOCRAT. BY A. J. HI IX. Friday, October, 28, 1881. Colon.l Dudley has been confirmed, as commissioner of pensions. Harrison, the boy preacher is now working up a revival at San Francisco. The steamship Maine arrived in New York with $1,100,000 foreign gold. —— . • ’ Foster was elected governor of Ohio by about 20,000 majority. Both branches of the legislature was largely Republican. William Windom, who resigned his tenatorial position to go into General Garfield’s cabinet, has just boeu reelected without opposition. The northeastern portion of Canada and New Brunswick were visited with a heavy fall of suew last week. The Fort Wayne Sentinel is publishing the early history of Fort M ayne, in a very interesting series of articles. The upper Mississippi is vary high and has done a vast amount of damage to railroads, towns and rural property, in and about Burlington and Rock Island. The late Presidents sickness and funeral expenses amount to $347,650, of which Uncle Sam will pay SIOO,OOO, and Ohio, Cleveland and private parties will pay the remainder $247,650.

There seems to be but little progress in the prosecution of the Star Route thieves. If they are all to be pardoned as soon as convicted, as was the case with the whiskey ring thieves, they might as well be turned loose at once. Under the new election law election precincts must be divided so as not to exceed three hundred and fifty votes. The ballots must be cither written or printed on plain white paper •three inches in width. David Davis has drawn a prize in the .-lottery of assassination. If Conkling should get the appointment of Secretary of the Treasury, it is presumable, under Senator Edmunds, rule, applied to Bayard, that would be another. Chief Justice Folger, of New York, has accepted the appointment of Secretary of the Treasury. It is rumored that the appointment is only temporary and that Conkling will succeed him before long. There are more “prizes in the lottery of assassination than Edmunds had any idea of. The Republicans seem greatly relieved that they ousted Bayard from the position of President pro tern of the Senate.' Had the Democrats resorted to the dilatory tactics that Republitanshave frequently used.it might have taken them “all summer’’ before they would have been able to accomplish their purpose. Under a provision of the law passed by the last legislature every physician is required to register his name and post office address with the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which he resides. They are also required to report all births and deaths to the secretary of the Board of Health, and are liable to a fine of $5 for every failure to comply. The law applies to midwives as well as phys cians.

It was the understanding that the Assistant Postmaster General Tyner was to have his official head taken off in consequence of not moving in the star-route business as he should. But Tyner now claims u have furnished the information upon which Postmaster General James acted to Postmaster General Key, who did not wish to take action, fearing it would hurt the party. That afterwards he furnished it to James who did act. Giteau s plea to the charge of murder is insanity. His erratic ways through life are to be gathered together to make his plea good. He has been a swindler and dead beat through ife, always managing to live off from other people, forgetting to pay his debts, never loosing an opportunity to get money or credit upon any representations that would accomplish the end in view. Taking his own story of his plans to assassinate the President, and it shows a settled purpose to accomplish the end, as cool, deliberate and devilish as can be found in the annals of crime. He made no mistake in concealing his purpose, in making his preparations and carrying them into execution. From first to last, his judgement, caution, prudence and execution were without defect in no single particular. No insane man could have been more discrete than the would-be lunatic Guiteau.

Poor unhappy Ireland is iu a terrible state of ferment. Since the arrest of Parnell, other arrests of prominent parties connected with the Land League and the different land organizations to oppose the payment of rente and prevent evictions have manifested unwonted excitement, which bas’resulted in some rioting and a little bloodshed. Meanwhile Jingland is re enforcing the army and constabulary force. The Irish agitation has readied a dangerous and critical point, and the leaders >ecm to have lost that judgement and

disereetion which has heretofore characterized them, by recomending resist ance to the enforcement of the laws, which have brought down the strong arm of the Government. Mr. Gladstone with his broad and ’ liberal views lias l>een very slow to ; adopt coercive measures, and used his personal influence in the House of Lords to make the new Land Act, to the tenantry, as liberal as possible, consequently when Mr. Parnell indicated his hostility to the act, and in some of his speeches charged him with being “unscrupulous ’ and “dishonorable and defied tKe Government to do its worst. It was then his arrest was promptly ordered. The result will be that the Land . League will be suppressed until the I Land Act has had a fair opportunity to be tested. Another thing is very certain, England will never consent to the independence of Ireland, until at the end of a successful revolution, and it will not be successful until her last mau aud her last dollar is expended. It is well enough for the leaders of the Land League to agitate and arouse the world in their behalf by appeals to reason aud right, but when they counsel resistance to law and order, they loose that sympathy that has been accorded to them, and put themselves and their cause in the wrong.

MOSMOI TU ITEMS. BY “VIRE. ’ Mrs. Ehrhart and Mrs. Roberts have returned from Butler, where they had been visiting the family of Rev. D. F. Kain. Mont Evans aud lady have returned from Fulton county, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and another lady from that place. J. Christen, jr , com meneed a six months term of school in No. 4, Root township, last Monday. The first teacher's institute of the season convened at the Monmouth school house, on Wednesday. Martha Fonner is teaching in Union township. Mr. Lyman Hart is sick with lungfever. Jim Watts, Winnie 4 Watts and He n ry Hart have gone to Delphos, the two to stay aud the latter to hunt up a location. The Wilder Brothers intend visiting friends and relatives in Pennsylvania this week. The six week's old twins of Conrad Gallmeyer died last week. The teamsand hands of the new saw mill firm, Smith & Colter, have arrived and are at work. The German Lutheran church is and has been for some time without a pastor, Rev. Hahn having been deposed. His wife is not expected to live and she will remain at the parsonage this winter. The new Lutheran church at Flat Rock will be dedicated on Sunday, Octobr 30.

Letter From Kansas. Whiting, Kan., Oct. 22,1881. Mr. Editor: Having noticed that several persons who have come to the state of Kansas from your county —and having returned to their old homes—give rather depressing account ot this state. We would like to say that they must certainly have located iu a poor part of the state, or else do not amount to much anywhere, as every person who has located here seems very well satisfied. and would not leave here on any account. We have a fertile soil, good water, a healthful climate, and good citizens. The country is well adapted to raising stock or farming, and it will undoubtedly be an excellent fruit producing country. Our apples far exceed in flavor and grow much larger than any of those we ever saw in the states east of us. In fact, we have everything that is needed to make this a great state. And any person who cannot succeed here, certainly don't amount to much, and would complain if they were placed iu the Garden of Eden.

We have a number of coni fields that are producing forty bushels to the acre this season, and if we had had one more good rain wc would have had the largest crop ever raised in this part of the state. Our markets are always good. Corn is now selling as high as seventy cents per bushel; wheat, $1.32; rye. $l.l»0; flax-seed. $1.25; oats, thir-ty-seven cents. Land has increased 50 to 100 per cent, in value wihin two years, and every farm that is offer ed for sale is quickly taken at a round price. As a consequence farmers are prospering, and putting up good, comfortable houses and barns, and other improvements. New roads are being opened up, new and substantial bridges built, and on every hand we see the signs of thrift and piosperity. We would suggest to any one who has the “snap” and -get up” to get along back east, to come here, make, a fortune and live at ease. But if you are too lazy and indolent tq, succeed in the Garden of Eden, don't come here; better just dry up and blow away. Jackman, Glenn and Evans are doing well and are well satisfied, having no desire to return ts Adams county, but. after a three years’ trial, propose making Kansas their future home. Kespectfully, Obslhvir.

Lincoln. George Alfred Townsend says: "He ms the greatest man of the war period, and 1 think opinion is crystalieiug on that. He was certainly the greatest man I ever knew. In him the genius for the special was crossed on the genius tor the ordinary. His heart was as big as his brain his human nature as sweet and large us ins mental equipment was perfect. He was a man ot the people without having a trace of the demagogue. The pulse of the great VS est throbbed in his blood, and the breezes ot the prairies swept through his brain, but this gave him energy and clearness, without leading to rashness or riot. There was something homely and strong in his very ugliness- a suggestion of pow er in his simple, awkward ways, and sense of health and cleanliness in his hearty humor. I have been accustomed all my life to study’ men and analyze their characters, and I am satisfied that 1 never met such a man as Lineoai. After a lapse of nearly twenty years. I could not find a single attribute ot Lincoln’s that was not a fitting part ot his I greatness, nor could I suggest an element ’of greatness that was lacking. Looked at through the vista of twenty years, bis character looms up full, majestic complete.

A Lost Note. In 17-10. a director of die Hauk of England lost a £3O,OtX» bank note, which he was persuaded had fallen from the chimney piece of his room into the fire. The bank directors gave the loser a second bill, upon his agreement to restore the first bill should it ever be found, or nay tne money if presented bv any stranger. “About thirty years afterwards.' says Mr. Francis, “the director having been long dead, and his heirs in possession of his lortune. an unknown person presented the lost bill at toe bank, and demanded payment. It was in ■sain that they mentioned to this person , ansaetion by which that bill was annulled; he would not listen to it; be maintained that it had come to him from abroad, and insisted upon immediate payment. The note was payable to l»earer and the £30.000 were paid him. The heirs of the director would not listen to demands for restitution ; and the bank was obliged to sustain the loss. It was discovered afterward that an architect having purchased the director’s house, had taken it down, in order to build another on the same spot, had found the note in the crevice of the chimney, and had made his discovery an engine for robbing the bonk.’’ •pQOTICE TO NON-RESIDENTS.

IA Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a epeeoy and certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chilis and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, nain in the back ; and loins, and coldness of the spine and , extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms, which terminate in the ; ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever aud profuse |>erspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic and other poisonous minerals, form the basis of most of the “ Fever and Ague Preparations,” *• Specifics,” “Syrups,** and i ‘‘Tonics.” in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may i break the chill, do not cure, but leave the ; malarial and their own drug poison in • the system, producing quinism, dizziness, . ringing in the cars, headache, vertigo, and vdier disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayer’s Ague Cure thoroughly eradicates these noxious juiisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate pa- : tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certaintv to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before the I attack. For Liver Complaints, Arm's Ague Cure, by direct action ou the liver and biliary apparatus, drives out the Ibisons which produce these complaints, and stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy jouditiuu. We warrant it when taken according to directions. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical CbeanisU, Lowell, Mau. bout bi aza. ziMLUcisrs bvbmtwukb. RF A TT DLM I I I 0 Daniel F.
