Mr. Eli Wheeler, of Warsaw, Ind., I is clerking at Shigley’s bakery. Ollivqr Jackson has erected a new dwelling in ti e south part of town. Ft. Wayne gives a great blow out on our natal day, the glorious old Fourth. The English sparrow is a nuisance. The edict should go forth requiring hint to tramp. Sheriff Krick is burning his first kiln of brick, which will be ready for delivering in a short time. Work on the sewer has been temporarily suspended in consequence . of the inability to get brick. The price of strawberries this season makes the lover of this delicious fruit sigh as they think of the cheap fruit of the past. Platt J. Wise, one of the old wheel horses of the democratic party at Ft. Wayne, is a candidate for clerk of the Supreme Court.. The wheat harvest will be several days later than last year, and will not be over two thirds of a crop, compared, with last year, barring all accidents until harvest. Win. Heckman was dissatisfied with his allowance by the Board, as assessor of Preble, and with the action of the Board of Equalization, in adding ten per cent to his assessment of Preble, and handed in his resignation as assessor A party of surveyors have been running a line six miles north of this place, making the preliminary survey for a railroad to connect the Ohio coal fields with Ft. M ayne. The side track on the west side of the G. R. & I- R. R- will soon be completed. It will be a great convenience to the business interests of this place, and was much needed. Wilson Sylvester, who carved the two men at Celina, had his preliminary examination and was held to bail in the sum of SI,OOO, which he failed to furnish and lies in jail awaiting his trial. The Willshire Independent says wool brings 5 cents per pound more in Willshire than in Shanes Crossing, and quotes it at M illsliire at 20 (a> 25cts. At the .same time our buyers were paying from 31 to dljcts per pound. There were several errors in The Demothat last week, caused by the absence of the editor when the paper went to press. One was the date of the congressional convention, the other the markets, which were not corrected, leaving the price of wool quoted in the markets about ten cents per pound less than our wool buyers were actually paying. Dr. A. B. Pitzer in company with S. Ray Williams, of the Tipton Times, was in the city week before last, looking after the interests of the Dr, who is a candidate for Auditor of State, before the democratic state Convention. Dr. Pitzer is a very pleasant gentleman, and should he succeed, would make an efficent officer. The grade of the Chicago & Atlantic railroad through this county is about completed. The contract for laying the iron and ballasting the road bed provides for the completion of the road bed and track, by the first of January next, at which time it is contemplated the road will be opened for bus iness from Chicago to New Fork. Repeatedly The Democrat has called attention to the fact that a large amount of gravel is wanted in this county. It has, in other places, been found in unexpected places. It would be well to prospect for it, even though it was attended with considerable expense. He who finds a good gravel bank has something as good as a gold mine. In consequence of the large amount of wheat freezing out during the winter and the appearance of an unusual amount of cheat, the old question never settled to the satisfaction of many, “does wheat turn to cheat? has been revived. On several occasions during the past ten days, knots of persons have been overheard discussing the question. Lee Linn, of the Wabash Courier, exposed a gang of plow theives who made an unsuccessful attempt to punish him therefor. Their plan was first to sell plows and finally to establish agencies. These appointments of agents turned out to be promissory notes. Quite a number of Wabash farmers suffered at the hands of the swindlers. It is understood that a firm is about to canvass this county with a view of selling a machine which can be attached to any plow, so as to make a riding plow. This company may be all right—may be honest men. The advice of The Democrat is to look out, that you may not be swin died in a like manner. Honest men will bear watching.

The little folks are enjoying vacation. Wednesday was the longest day of the year. Wiilcli took ~v i- seven hun lreU people to Rome City. Wednesday, on his Richmond excursion Several of our people took in the excursion over the Narrow Gauge, Tuesday, to Dayton and the Soldiers’ Home. Decatur has cause for rejoicing in escaping from the small-pox, while most of our mi 'htoriug towns have been more or less afflicted. The democrab editors of the State meet at Indianapolis on the 29th. The democrats of Indianapolis banquet them at the Grand Hotel in the evening. M. I’. Walcli will run an excursion over the G. R. & I. during the holding of Hie Island Park Assembly, thus giving our people an opportunity, to enjoy the Assembly at excursion rates. Wm. Moses threw a club at two dogs, Wednesday. Result a dea l dog It is well his process in ihisdirection was unknown prior to the April election, or he might have been an official dog-killer. Niblick, Crawford St Sons and the .-.dams Couuty Bank have been putting in gass fixtures this week, and will hereafter light up that block with gas. They use the same kind of a machine as was put in the M. E. churchThere is no further news of the small-pox at Willshire. There has been ne new cases—two deaths. It is presumed that the scourge has run its length. I hey have suffered enough. It has effected them in various ways, especially in their material interests, expenses and prostration of business. They have the sympathy of The Democrat in their affliction, and we will rejoice to he ir they are entirely free. James Hoffman, brother of E. A. Hoffman of this place, who lives near Vera Cruz, fell out of a tree while trying to dislodge a squirrel, and was carried home insensible. He was not seriously injured but received a terrible jolt. This occurred some two weeks tince. One of the Butchers, George we think, caused the arrest of Fred Smith, of Wabash township, charged with stealing some wool. It was attempted to show he stored the wool in his barn and when he found he was suspifcloned that he took the wool to the woods and burned it. His preliminary examination was bad Wednesday night, resulting in acquittal. He was subsequently arrested, but the result had not reached us before going to press. Monday was the forty-ninth birthday of R. B. Allison. Mrs. Allison prepared a surprise for her husband, which was a success. Slis invited a pleasant porty of his friends, made all preparations, and carried out everything to the letter without her husband being any the wiser of it. As he was going home to his evening meal, hecaught the flash of two of the late guests entering the house. A moment later and he was ushered in to find his house filled with guests. It was an agreeable gathering, who did ample justice to the good things prepared by the hostess, and who united in wishing M.i. Allison many returns of his natal day. The Greenback Meeting. There was a good attendance at the meeting of the .National Greenback Labor party, Friday. Gen. Weaver, as a former presidential candidate was the ’prinieipal attraction. The sideshows were M. S. Lee, of Bluffton, candidate for Attorney General on the state ticket, and farmer Thompson, candidate for Congress in this congressional district. The latter may be a good man, and excellent man, a man of towering intellect, but to The Democrat it seemed that when he had told the audience that he was a granger, a farmer, a greenbacker, his revelation was complete. When Mr. Thompson gets a little older, his beard white, it would not surprise us to learn he had turned in for a Rip Van Winkle nap of twenty years. At least, if there ever was such a sleep taken, if there is to be a repetition of it, farmer Thompson, we predict, will be the man. Mr. Lee seems to be a man of considerable force. For a young man he may be considered one of the heavyweights, physically and otherwise, with a head of the Von Bismark order of architecture, and a voice in harmony with the physical system. He intro duced Gen. Weaver in away and manner that indicated he considered himself the orator, but cruel circumstances bad intervened to make the wrong man the hero of this occasion. The General was neither eloquent or brilliant, but was plausible and logical. He has a happy manner of illustrating his position by apt comparisons, at the end a little story turns up, told with a quaint vein of humor that soon wins the sympathy of the audience. He gave the Republican party a heavy arraignment, and followed it up with thrust after thrust, showing the party corrupt in all their ways and committed to class legislation that had centralized capital, made the rich richer and the poor poorer. With prornis. es of reform, they had been constantly drifting from bad to worse, until the people had lost confidence in their rectitude, but so far had been kept in line by bosses and the prejudices of party. Those who applauded longest and loudest were the old line Republicans. They acknowledged the truth of the speaker's remarks by clapping their hands and rounds of applause. I They know their party has fallen down ! before strange gods ; has outlived its ; usefulness, but their prejudices are so : great that they will not go to the Democratic party, but turn with favor to this chief apostle of the new dispensation. In this way Gen. Weaver will do good, and for this reason we wish him success. He is trying to do '.hat the Democratic party will do, provide relief from the manifold evils that have afflicted this country by and thr. ugh republican bossism.

Pensions and Politics. Under this head the Indianapolis Sentinel exposes Col. W. W. Dud- ; ley, Commissioner of Pensions, in his dirty scheme of making a political machine out of his office. It seems that Republican members of Congress have not had time to attend to the personal application of soldiers to assist in scouring their pensions, consequently Democratic members have been appealed to and not in vain. Fearing it wculd work harm the Com missioner has been in the habit, of late, just as soon as a soldier’s pension was about to be passed upon favorably, to inform Republican members a few days in advance of the official notification. These members write a note to the soldier boys to the effect that in going over the pension claims they accidentally came across theirs, interested themselves in it, and secured its allowance. In a few days the official notification is received confirming the Republican members story. The Democrat who did the work for the poor soldier finds it out a few days after the official notification is made publie and writes to the poor fellow he has helped. But the gratitude goes to the man who wrote first and the man who wrote the basest lie that man can write to man. To such base uses has Commsssioaer Dudley prostrated his office to, and by such falsehoods do Republicans secure sympathy to aid them in securing votes to which they are not entitled, to perpetuate their official position and continue such base frauds. Men are sent to the penitentiary every day for crimes not half so bad as this so far as moral turpitude is concerned. Arrested on Suspicion. On Monday last, George Kercher, of Mercer county, Ohio, called upon Marshal Rhodes, informing him that he had had a team, wagon and harness stolen some ten days before, and described the team and thieves. Tuesday, two men hitched a couple of horses on the county land north of town, and came up to town. Their actions were regarded with suspicion by some of our citizens, who live near and who reported the facts up town. The Marshal went down to where the horses were hitched, arriving there about the same time the men did who rode them. He recognized the men and team from the description and immediately took the men into custody and telegraphed for Kercher who came on the evening train. He examined the horses, recognized them but said they were so poor he could not swear to them. Intimidated and rattled at the criticisms, he weakened and declined to do anything, saying he had no money. The Marshal offered to telegraph for his friends and assist him otherwise, but he declined to do anything, when the men wero released. They left us as fast as their worn out nags would carry them. What makes the miserable business worse, they had as saddle blankets, two grain sacks marked with the name cf A. Beasell, a near neighbor of Kerchers. Undoubtedly they were the thieves and would have so proved had they been retained until his neighbors could have been got here. Kercher was very sorry he did not swear to the animals after the thieves had been released. A Peddler Bounced. On the State line road near the corner of Union township, in a quiet and secluded spot lives a man by the name of Lyttle, whose wife, for courage and strength, is unsurpassed by any of her sex, as the following facts will show. A few days ago there came to this house a pedd er whose bill of goods consisted of tablecloths, lace Ac., and requested the lady to purchase. He was kindly informed that she did not wish to buy anything that day and also mentioned that her husband was away at work for a neighbor, and that she had no money with which to buy anything with; whereupon the gentleman from across the ocean became greatly enraged, apparently, and began using very insulting language. He was kindly requested to leave the house, but thinking no doubt that he was master of the situation, was not in any hurry to leave. The lady being of amazonian build and possessing the strength of a giant, seized the fellow by the collar and sent him some feet in the yard. As he landed somewhere near his goods, which had previously been sent out in the same manner, he began gathering together the scattered fragments of his pack; and not useing the required activity, the lady thought it absolutely necessary to give him another lesson, this time stoping when she reached the public highway. The gentleman from the Emerald Isle took the hint that he was not wanted there, and thinking it better to fly to ills he knew not of, than bear the ones he had already encountered, hastily took his departure, musing, no doubt, on the frailty of woman, and the vanity of this world, while the lady returned to her household cares, singing her favorite song of •■Erin go braugh.” R. K. Erwin. Chicken Cholera. It is said no medicine will cure fowls in an advanced stage of disease. The following is said to be one of the best receipts known: Carbon, charcoal, 1 lb; sulphur, 1 lb.; sulphate of iron, copperas, jib.; calomel, 10 grains; salicylic acid, 1 drachm; grind to a fine powder. Dose, a tablespoonfull to a dozen fowls once a day, to be given in moist meal.

Richards, of Indianapolis. spent a few days in the city this week. Mrs. Richard Spencer and daughter i Ella, of Burlington, lowa, are visiting ( W. G. Spencer’s family. i Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Dorwin and Mr. 1 and Mrs. D. O. Jackson went to the i Soldiers’ Home Tuesday. Mrs. McMillen, of Ft. Wayne, and •' mother of doctor McMillen, of this place, is visiting in the city. Mrs. Shaffer Peterson and Jacob , Counterman, left for Marion, Indiana, ■ on a visit Monday, to be absent one week. Wm. Turner of Hancock county, Ohio, and formerly a resident of this county has beeu visiting bis friends iu and aboil De- ( catur thia week. i Mr. Jno. Crawford ami Mis. Urrricl ‘ McCoy, of the vicinity of Cadiz, Ohio, arc ( visiting their brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. McGonagle Mayor Zoliinger and A. Zollars, the latter a candidade for Judge of the Supreme Court, stopped off at Decatur, Tuesday, on their way home from at- ( tending the democratic congressional ( Convention at Marion. Burglars Again. On Wednesday night the residence of John Schoup was entered. His j father-in-law, George Wyke, a carpet j weaver, lives with him. The old man 1 had some of his hard earnings with him. which the burglars seeurud to the • amount of $127. The thieves used j chloroform to keep the house quiet. < They were undoubtedly professionals ! and have been lying around town for several days. Chas. Munson, while , here a few days since, recognized a | couple of fallows whom he took to Michigan City at the commencement of his first term of Sheriff, under a five year sentence. And these are doubtless the fellow who did the work. Last week they went through Christ Gephart’s house, but secured only two dollars. A vigilance committee is strongly talked of. GLORIOUS FOURTH. The Fireman W ill Celebrate. The Alert Hook and Ladder Company will celebrate the Fourth on the Fair Grounds. They will form on the street at 9 o’clock, with a Mardigras corps,Ted by the K. of P. Band, parade the streets and march to the grounds. Arrangements have been made for patriotic orations and speeches, a Basket Dinner, Fireman's drill, various comic races, Balloon Ascension and a grand display of fire works at night. All invited. MOXMOCTH ITEM*. BY “ARGUS." The cut worm is still working on vegtation. Squire Dougherty has gone to Ohio on a visit. Rev. Winans preached at the Baptist church last Saturday night. Rev. Wo .es, of Monroeville, will preach at the Friend’s church on next Saturday evening. Wm. Gcrke had five sheep killed by lightning last wc ;k Some of the boys got a bad scare by an aligator tbey.claim to have seen in the river. Mike Wurtzburger, in loading some lumber, had his foot caught by a pile falling on it, resulting in a painful bruise on the ankle, which, fortunately, soon got all right again. Dan. Burns was here Sunday doctoring a horse belonging to Mr. Smith, which is afflicted with the pink eye, a disease prevalent among the horses here this season. Noah Baxter, who has not been in good health for some time, was visiting his son Reuben last week. Some thought that a remnant of < the James gang were taking possession of our town last Sunday evening, others thought that a body of Land League notoriety was being organized in our midst, but all admitted that the report of firearms sounded rather alarming, and were breathlessly awaiting results, when 10l but we would onIv say, Ed. don’t muddle up the town that way again. Mr. Reuben Lord, in coining home from Ft. Wayne on the morning train last week, and thinking to save himself a walk of about a mile, jumped from the train near his home, resulting in a broken arm near th# shoulder, and a severely sprained ankle and injuries about the head. The train backing up, he was put on and taken to the station, where he was taken care of by friends. Fortunately, Doe. Devilbiss, of Hoagland, who was on the train, set the limb. Mr. Lord, at this writing, is doing as well or better than can be expected of a man of his age, he now being 74 years old; luckily for him that he was not hurt worse. Altogether it may be considered a mi raculous escape from death. Let boys and all others who are everhopping on and jumping off trains take a warning.

Since the introduction of Kellogg’s Columbian Oil it has made more per- ] inanent cures and given better satis- ] faction on Kidney Complaints and ( Rheumatism than any known remedy, t its continued series of wonderful cures i in all climates has made it known as a t safe and reliable agent to employ > against all aches and pains, which are 1 the forerunner of more serious disorders. It acts speedily and surely, al- ] ways relieveing suffering aud often r saving life. The protection it affords E by its timely use on rheumatism, kid- - x ney affection, and all aches and pains, wounds, cramping pains, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, coughs, colds, catarrh s and disorders among children, make- a it an invaluable remedy to be kept al I ways on hand in every home. No per- 6 son can afford to be without it, and those who have once used it never | will. It is absolutely certain in its j remedial effects, and will always cure | when cures are possible.

A Baptist Minister’s Experience. 1 —I am a Baptist Minister, and before | I even thought of being a clergyman, . I graduated in medicine, buq left a lu- ] crative practice for my present pro- I session, 40 years ago. I was for many I years a sufferer from quinsy; “Thomas’ I Ecleetric Oil cured me.” I was also 1 troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas’ Ecleetric Oil always relieved me. My wife and child had diptheria, and “Thomas’ Ecleetric Oil cured them,” and if taken in time will euro seven . times out of ten lam certain it is a , cure for the most obstinate cold or cough, and if any one will take a small ; teaspoon and fill it with the oil, and then place the end of the spoon in one nostril and draw the oil out of the spoon into the head by sniffing as hard as they ean until the oil falls’over into the throat, and practice that twice a week, I don’t care how offensive their head may be, it will clean it out and cure cartarrh. For deafness and earache it has done wonders to my certain knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed patent medicine that I have ever felt like recommcndins, and I am very anxious to see it in every place, for I tell you that I would not be without it in my house for any consideration. lam now suffering with a pain like rheumatism in my right limb, and nothing relieves me like Thomas’ Ecleetric Oil.
