I Tua Dimocbat costs only one dollar and a half per year. A number of our citizens will spend the fourth at Ft. Wayne. ' It is the cheapest to raise your own strawberry short cake. The circuses gives us the go-by .this year It is not a desirable infliction. The K. of I’. band will furnish music for the fire company on the 4th. Commencements and conventions are about over. The crop has been good this year. Don't forget the excursion to Rome City on Saturday July Bth; every body turn out and go. Several complaints have reached us from farmeres who have lost seme of their hogs from cholera. The Gates' stock of clothing is being “ closed out at auction. It is a good place B for bargains just now. The weather is extremely favorable for wheat. What is lacking In bushels will be made up in quality. The matinee of the band organ man on ■ Second street last week, indicated an in S dustrious and persevering character. On June 21st M.T. Walch had 710 S passenger to Rome City, from Richmond B and stations north as far as Collett incluA. Holthouse laid the cornerstone of it hie residence last week. The boys sug- | gested beer was in order, and beer was I ordered. There will be a big excursion to Rome I City, july Bth, which takes in the Island | Park Assembly, which will be in session at the time. There is no use trying to beat John ShuI macher falling down stairs or smoking a I pipe. Ths former was tried last Friday, which completely blasted our aspirations as to the latter.

M.P. Walch, will run his third grand excursion to Sylvan Lake, Saturday July Sth. Don't fail to attend this excursion; it will be one of the most pleas int trips of the seaaoc. The Marshal has been busy taking the census of the town of Decatur under the order of the trustees. The population of Decatur according to his official return is 2,270. The commencement exercises of the Catholic School was held Wednesday evening. We were not present, but they had an entertaining programme and a large audience. AH passed off pleasantly. While going through Warren en-route for M*lion and the Democratic Convention last w<ek, we struck Bro Surran, of the Warren A7w«, »ad on returning ‘•shook” J. G. Smith, “lang syne” editor of the Bluffton flwmrr, Board sidewalks have had their day. Something better will have to take their place. At present prices of lumber brick can be put down just as cheap. Their lasting qualities considered, they are much cheaper than wood. With ham and eggs beyond reach, and corn dodgers a luxury of bloated bond holders, what do you fellows who are behind in your subscription expect us to live on any way. Do you want us to go “over the hill to the poor house?” Pay up. Forpaugh's advert ising agent offered five dollars for fifteen dollers worth of advertising. It i« hardly necessary to say it was declined. If The Democrat cuts on prices to anyone it will be to our patrons at home. Other papers can do as they please, Mr. B. Brown, the popular druggist, was the recipient of a lot of choice fruits and cake from his moiher last Tuesday, it being the occasion of his birthday. The Dimocbat was kindly rememberd with some of the delicacies, for which Mr. Brown has our thanks and well wishes for many more as pleasant birthdays in the future.

Most of the force that h»e been working on the Chicago & Atlantic B. B. grade has been withdrawn from this county, as a consequence the town has been comparatively free from drunken men and the fights and quarrel! that grow out of men indulging too freely in stimulants. Pat is a good fellow when sober, but when drunk, i« a public sad Incorrigible nuissance, Whifji opr people have been sorely afflicted with for the last sig ntor-tfis. The change in the appearance of our streets is for the tetter, and all rejoice that it has come. Last Friday, Senator T. J. Foster, h AttOf of tie Fort Wayne Journal, .eat a bullet through bi« brtjin, almost instantly putting an end to his life. The cause of this rash act is supposed to be from intemperance. Some five months ago, he made a pledge to abstain, which he kept inviolate until last week. This, together with some personal raattgig, growing opt qf djfferences of opinion in relation to the democratic convention, in Allen county, it is supposed so preyed upon his mind that he deliberately took his life

God Speed. Fields of untold wealth; mines of unsounded depth; pasturages without end; health giving climate and sparkling waters; raw materials in abundance for the fiery furnace; the weaver and the spinner, the metal worker and the artistic jeweler, entrancing views for the lover of nature and the beautiful inspiring alike to the artist’s soul and brush and the mind and pen of the litcrateur; meat for the millions, bread for the tillers of the land; fortune and position for the workers with willing hearts and hands; such are the advantages Colorado presents to the World at large, and the approaching opening of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad through line to Denver, directly linking Chicago, St. Louis Kansas City. Peoria. Des Moines, Atchison, the progressive cities of the growing Wet, to the Queen of the Rockies, will bring home to the masses, the opportunity, perhaps lo«g sought for to explore this famous region. From the cotton fields of the South and her seductive sugar fields, from the spinning mills of New England, the iron furnaces of Pennsylvania, the marts of commerce of the East and the Old World a new avenue is opened. The manufacturer, the merchant, the tourist, the invalid, the study, the miner, the laborer, all have an interest in the new enterprise fostered and brought to successful issue by the most admirably managed and most advanced railroad corporation of our time. To them it means increase of business, increase of pleasure, improved health, new fields and new scenes fresh opportunities, advancement and progress. And while these steel bands will unite new sections of the world into a closer and more intimate relation as regards to business and personal welfare, it will also unite hearts and minds, foster new acquaintances, new relations and create for many a new hearthstone, a home in a land of promise. Wc hail with unfeigned pleasure the first trip of the iron horse, that greatest of helper to advanced civilization, across the virgin soil of that wonderful land and bid God speed to the projectors while awaiting the formal announcement that the new line is opened for passenger traffic, and the banner of the “Great Burlington Route’’ floats at the base of the Rockies.

The Storms. Saturday afternoon a heavy wind and rain storm visited this place, doing oun siderable damage. It partially unrooted the Odd Fellows' building, resulting in considerable damage to the plastering and greatly damaging the beautiful frescoing of the Hall of St. Marys Lodge I, O. O. F. The business room ofjohu Weltiey was al‘so partially unroofed, doing considerable damage by flooding the upper story with water. The frame of the dwelling of Henry Miller, in the southeast portion of the town was blown down. Quite a number oi buildings were slightly injured and the amount of shattered glass considerable. Shade, fruit and ornamental trees were blown and broken down here and there all over town. The storm Saturday was followed by a dash ot rain Sunday evening that was a grand put-pqur for a short time. In fact it was a regular deluge. In five minutes onr streets looked like canals Fortunately it continued but a short time, or the damage would have been considerable —► —• Church Notes.

A recent issue of tho “American Agriculturist’ 7 contains some insinuations reflecting upon the character of the Useful Knowledge Publishing Company, of New York They are insinuations only, no direct allegations being made. Their only foundation is malice and fear, on the part of *he Agriculturist publishers. The average cost of books published by the U»e ful Knowledge Publishing Company, in proportion to their real value is les« than , one-fifth of the average cost of the Agri- I cultural books published by the Orange Judd Co within less than three yea’s the ; ‘•Literary Revolution gave the American people over one million dollars w>rth ot the choicest books the country ha 4 ever seen: more in bulk and in real valu j than Ju Id has given them in a third of a century, and more than he would hav- given them for five million dollars No class is abused more abominably by ike publishers thin the farmers I was a farmer boy before I was a pu >lish*r, an i know something of both sides Twr . y five years ago, 1 waSi barefooted bay, dr ng an ox-breaking teitn through the haz- >rush and prairie grass of low, and raiding “Eqglanl,’ an 1 “T 1-■ New York Tribune” between time* and by the firelight by night, an 1 I got too muh of the ‘ Useful Knowledge and ot > rongtb to allow baseless Blunder to overthrow the enterprise to which I hive given my life.

In response to pressing nd almost distressing calls from all over tho country, from farmers, farmers’ bojs and

teachers, it will also enter the field of school-book publishing presently, and we shall see what will become of the high prices of the rich and grasping publishers in the field. The useful Knowledge Publishing Company does what Judd, and no other of the old line publishers do, it sends its books to any part of the United States, and allows privilege of examination be fore payment is required. It supplies its agents with copies of is cheap and beautiful publications for distribution among their customers, for examination at their leisure, and allows the return of any books not wanted. Specimen pages of its publi cations, catalogues, and terms to club agents, booksellers, and canvassers will be sent free upon request.

Parties pass through our village almost daily, en-route for the Reservoir, near Celina, Ohio. x Wheat in this locality will not yield near as much per acre as last year, on account of cheat.

I was for many years a sufferer from quinsy; “Thomas’ Eelectric Oil cured me.” I was also troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' Eelectric Oil always relieved me. My wife and child had diptheria, and “Thoma's’ Eclectric Oil cured them,” and if taken in time will cure 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 can 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 recommending, 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’ Eelectric Oil.
