Decatur Democrat, Volume 26, Number 48, Decatur, Adams County, 2 March 1883 — Page 2

THE DECATUR DEMOCRAi BY A. J. HILI.. Friday, March, 2, 1883. Ir Dorsey is the ring master in the Btar Route cases. Randall is the clown. The Wabash railway and the Atlantic Garden are excitable topics for the Fort Wayne Gazette. Ex. Governor Sprague proposes to be a candidate for Governor of Rhode Island if Conkling is willing. — People who never saw a five dollar gold piece, much less owned one, are panic stricken for fear some one will plate the new nickle pieces with gold and pass them to the aforesaid for five dollars. Some people go much farther than necessary to borrow trouble. Tub Kilmainham disclosures over the water and the Star Route conspirator's confessions on this side have many points of resemblance. The only notable divergence is one was for blood the other for money. The Kilmainhamers are after all respectable by comparison. Republican methods of securing re election have another illustration in the attempt of Senator Ferry to secure his re-election by the nse of patronage and money. The only troupe with him was rivalry found him out before he had accomplished his object. Republican newspapers are battering away at what they denominate “free trade democracy” when there is no sueh thiug in existence in this country, never has been and never will be. There is a “free trade'’ organisation, but it is not the democratic party. There is just as much truth in “free trade democracy” as there is in charging the republican party with being honest. THK FIK*T COMET OF THE YEAR. A little before seven o’clock on Friday evening last, while Prof. Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., was scanning the western sky, he discovered a brilliant comet located in the constellation of Pegasus near the Star Beta. The new comet is moving eastward and is Very bright This is the first comet discovered during the present year and also the first discovery made by means of the new telescope of the Warner Opservatory, which is the largest private teletype >•» '!><> British gold has finally unearthed the murderers of Lord Cavenlish. It has always been considered a potent factor in British diplomacy, and a favorite method of bringing to their knowledge valuable secrets. A spy or traitor in their best estate are despicable characters. They are the black shadows in every community in the various conditions of life. These are no better than others of their tribe. If, however, the cold blooded assassins who disgraced the cause they wished to aid, can be brought to justice by and through them, we can shut our eyes to the method for the sake of the result. It is to be hoped it will prove a valuable lesson to those who would serve poor unhappy Ireland, but in their blind zeal have done their cause more harm than her worst enemies could have hoped for or conceived.

New Hampshire, like lowa, is Republican beyond a doubt. One would think it ought to be the home of the civil service reform, official honesty, etc. If Republicanism is conducive of sueh results the condition in New Hampshire ought to be favorable to such a result. But Gov. Bell in his inaugural says money to influence popular elections is the crying evil of the time. When Democrats complained of Dorsey's methods, Republicans retorted, untrue, Republicans do not do such things. If such things are possible in New Hampshire, they are not beyond the rage of probability in Indiana. In short, the proofs seem to be constantly cumulative, that Republicans rely upon what they can filch through official position and every other possible way, to prolong their power and not upon their honesty and virtue and the respect of the people at large. Postmaster Buuck, imitating the methods of his master, is encouraging Republican literature. The Democrat is peculiarly obnoxious, and if he could have his say, not a Democrat would be sent to the little twenty dollar office which he bought and paid for, by a sacrifice of his political principles, if his neighbors tell the truth, about which however, we have no doubt. If Mr. Buuck will call at the office of The Democrat, when he eomes to Decatur, he will be presented with a collar bearing this legend. “I am George W. Steele’s dog, whose dog are you?’’ always providing he will wear it. Twenty dollars is an enormous consideration in view of the thing purchased. A collar of the kind indicated, would as correctly represent your servitude, Mr. Buuck, as the brass emblems issued to the itnmortal 306 stalwarts at the Chicago Convection.

Longfellow’s Day. Tuesday as was announced in l.ts week’s Demo rat, was the anniversa ry of the birth of the poet, W. 11. Longfellow. It was kept as a memorial day by the scholars in room No. 5 of the public schools. In addition to the published programme, visitors were entertained by various recitations and vocal music, after which the regular programme was went through with. It is not our purpose to speak of the efforts of the children only generally . It is sufficient to say the programme was creditably rendered. The biographers gave an excellent outline life of the poet- The selections were also fair representations of his writings and the manner of their rendition was a pleasant surprise to us, which was the general verdict of the visitors, of which they were a g odly number present. It apparrently, was a pleasant afternoon to visitors and visited. Miss Fitz Gerald deserves credit for the excellent training and discipline and the marked improvement of her pupils. MISPLACED CONFIDENCE BY TWO. A two-fold case of misplaced confidence developed before the proper authorities in this county this week. As one of the parties has been adjudged guilty of the charge, and is at large, no names will be used in connection wi..h this transaction. The story as related by the fair lady is, that she and the party mw wanted in this behalf in a place remote from this, met and plighted to each their troth. After this preliminary was settled, she yielded to the importunities of her lover The result was the penalty provided by nature. The lover at this stage of the proceeding repented of his rash vowsand refused to fulfill them. No sooner was she off with her old love than she again met her fate—was married this time, tight and fast. In due time the husband discovered that the matrimonial fruit was maturing all to soon. A council of war was held, when the facts related above came to the surface. The husband has concluded to stand by his darling, and united they stand in demanding redress for their lacerated feelings, which they are determined to have, if the bird in the bush can be snared. A Handsome Be ok Free. We have received a copy of J. T. Lovett’s Illustrated Catalogue of Trees and Plants for the Spring of 1883, and it is dec dedly the handsomest most sensible and instructive Nursery Catalogue we have yet seen. It is copious) j- illnstratod with truthful engravings and colored plates of the best fruits, and, what is quite remarkable, the descriptions are honest; while the instructions for planting, cultivation and management are models of perspicuity and consciseness. By liberal dealing, close applicat on to business, and enterprise, Mr. Lovett has built up a large business and an enviable reputation, shipping as he does, plants and trees not only to every State a: d Territory in the Union, but to almost every country upon the globe. Although a specialty is made of Small Fruits, all kirds are grown extensively, with ornamental trees and plants, roo es, etc. It will be remembered that Mr. Lovett is the introducer of the now famous Cuthbert Rasberry and Manchester Str w .arry, and that he is now dtssemin; ting the celebrated Hansell Rasberry and Early Harvest Blackberry (the earliest varieties of these two important berries), all of which are fully illustrated and described in his elegant Catalogue, which will be mailed to any one sending a postal card to him at Little Silver, New Jersey, requesting it. Facts Worth Knowing. That salt fish are quickest and best freshened by soaking in sour milk. That cold rain water and soap will remove machine grease from washable fabrics. That fish may be scaled much easier by first dipping them into boiling water for a minute. That fresh meat, beginning to sour, will sweeten if placed out of doors in the cool air over night. That kerosene will make your teakettle as bright as new. Saturate a woolen rag and rub with it. It will also remove stains from the clean varnished furniture. That blue ointment and kerosene, j mixed in equal proportions and applied to bedsteads, is an unfailing bug | remedy, and that a coat of whitewash is a ditto for a log house. That milk which has changed may be sweetened or rendered fit to use j again by stirring in a little soda. That boiling starch is much improved by the addition of sperm, or salt, or j both, or a little gum arabic, dissolved. That a tablespoonfull of turpentine, boiled with your white clothes, will greatly aid the whitening process. That kerosene will soft'n bootsand shoes that have been hardened by water, and will render them as pliable as tew. Married.

MONMOUTH ITEMS. BY X. L. C. K. Having seen noihitig in your pupci about this place of late, 1 will endeavor to gather a few items this week, which might be of s >mc interest- it to nobody else, perhup - to some of the natives of this place. Quite a number arc suffering from coughs, colds, etc. Quaker meeting is in progress, conducted by Rev. Hinshaw. Letita Yocum, of Cherubueco, was visiting here last week. Jim Watts has ‘done gone” and become a benedict; the bride was Miss Rosa Patrick. The lecture business is not very profitable hereabouts, as a certain individual who struck this place could testify. He didn't have a crowded house, neither was he greeted by loud and enthusiastic applause, but he brought down the house when he took his seat, i. e. if you consider him the house. The Olympic is nightly illuminated. Mrs. J. W. Patrick has left to take up her abode with her mother at Spencerville; her husband having gone be fore her, but whither nobody knows. Mr. Isaiah Sypes, of Arcola, hamoved in the dwelling formerly occupied by Mr Laban Riley. The Magley brothers contemplate putting up a tile factory in Kirkland township, on the line of the C. & A., this spring. Mil. Rice has moved to Decatur, and his brother Dave is now carrying on the store business. Vanderbilt (no relation to the R. R. King) passes over the C. R. Ft. \\ . R. R. in a special car occasionally. If you want your boots blackened, or test your lungs, call at Smith’s office. Mr. Smith has his yards full of logs and is now running both mills—here and at Willshire. The haunted house here, spoken of in the Journal, is still haunted, and will be as long as the spirits have anybody to come and sec them; and until virtue gains the mastery over vice. There is strong talk of having the nuisance raged. Ohio Correspondence. Clay Lick, Ohio, Feb. 25, ’B3. Ed. Democrat. Dear Sir: If you will allow me a little space in your valuable paper, 1 wi.l answer the numeious inquiries of oar many friends in your county as to how we like our new situation in Ohio, he would say we are much pleased with the change we have made. M e consider the old county of Licking unsurpassed for health and comiort. The soil is good and the water pure. The main throughfares are in good condition, being pr incipaily well graveled. The markets are good. Churches, schools and mills are handy. There is very little if any trouble of a malarial character in this locality. In fact everything desirable to make men happy and comfortable exists or can be procured in this county. Sheep raising is extensively carried on here and is a very profitable business. Many fine cattle are also raised here. Uur pleasant hills and valleys are very productive and well adapted to the raising of wheat and corn; and a large amount of most excellent fruit is also raised. Yours, etc., Albert Neibargek. Evaporated Fruit. Evaporated dried apples and uupeeled peaches bring twenty cents per pound at retail in this market. Fruit dried in the good old way would bring about half the sum and not bring the price as readily as the higher priced evaporated. It suggests to us that our fruit raisers had better give the subject attention. There must be vast profits represented in the difference between the higher priced fruit and the lower, saying nothing about its being At present The Democrat ca' not give figures or estimates of evaporating buildings and machinery, whether it is a patent process that would require the payment of a royalty to use or net. Our aim is to simply raise the inquiry, so that our readers may profit by the suggestion, if on inquiry it can be utilized here. Xotlce of Dissolution. The co-partnership hereto'ore existing between J. H. Voglewede end Louis A. Conter. under the firm name of Voglewede <fc Conter, has been this day dissolved by mu'ual consent. The I unsettled business of the firm will be settled at the business room of the old firm, by either of the parties thereto. All persons having unsettled accounts are requested to call and settle the same within thirty days from the date hereof. If not settled within that time, we will be compelled to leave them for collection. J. H. Voglewede, Louis A. Conter. Feb. 21, ’B3. Having purchased the interest of my partner in the boot and shoe trade, the business will be continued at the old stand. Thanking one and all for past patronage and favors I solicit a continuance cf the ra®e. J. 11. Voglewede.

S. G. W . A. LUCKEY, 17, 1882. County Sup'i. The Sun for 1883. More people have read the Sun during the year just now passing than ever before since it was first printed. No other newspaper published on this side of the earih has been bought and read in any year by so many men and women. We are credibly informed that people buy, read ami line the Sun for the following reasons, among others.

Because its ntws columns present in attractive form and with the greatest possible accuracy whatever has interest for humankind; the events, the deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid se» se. the improving nonsense—all the news of the busiest world at present revoking in space. Because people have learned that in i s remarks concerning person* and affairs the Sun makes a practice of telling them the exact truth, to the best of its ability, 1 three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, before election as well as after, about the whales a» we)l as about the small fish, in the face of dissent as p’am-. ly and fearlessly as when Mipportad by general approval. The Sun has no purpose to serve, save the information of i’s readers and the furtherance of the com mou good Because it is everybody’s paper. N man is so humble that the Sun is indifferent to his welfare and his rights. No min, no association us men. is powerfu’ enough to be ex mpt from the strict application of its principle* of right and wrong. Because io politics it has fought for a dozen yetis, without intermis'iqn an I sometimes almost alone among newspapers, the fight that has resulted in the re cent overwhelming popular verdict against dobesonism and for honest gov- ‘ eminent. No m tier what party is in I power, the Sun st m !s and w 1 continue ; to stand like a rock fur the interests of ! the people again*! the ambition of the • bosses, ibe vDciuachiurnts of monopolists, ' and the dishonest schemes of public rob- i berg. All this are what we ape tuld i daily by our friends One man holds i that the Sun is the best religious paper ' ever published, became its Christianity is indiluted with cant. Another holds that it is the best Republic m newspiper printed, because it has already whipped half of the Pascals out pf that party, and is proceeding agaiuai. the other bajf wiih undiminishrd vigor. A third believee it to oe the beat mag azine of general interest in existence, because its readers miss nothing worthy of nonce that is cut rent in the world of thought. So every friend of iue Suri discovers one or its many sides that appeals with force to his individual liking. if you alrea Is know the Sui, you will observe ;hat in 1883 it is a little better than ever before. Ifjoudo not already know the Sun, you will find it to be a mirror ; f human activity a storehouse of (he choicest produc s of common sense and imigin* n,a mains ay for the cause of bone-t x v* rnment. ft tentiuel for genuine Jetta 8 ii »n Democracy, a scourge for wck« ..ns of every speaies, and an unlu.. muuiy good investment fur the coming etar.
