X Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground floor. School Notos. Teacher’s examination at Geneva May 16, 1891. Berne will have commencement exercises about the 23rd of April. They have a class of ten graduates. W. J. Cowan’s select school at Pleasant Mills has an attendance of about twentyfive students. The Wabash township, the Geneva and Berne schools closed last week. The past terms have been well attended and the interest good. Miss Lenora Huffman is spending a few weeks in Chicago with her sister, lantha, who was formerly a teacher in our, city schools. The Geneva schools closed another profitable term on last Friday. This corporation employs four teachers—the present ones, each hold a first grade county license, and has a school enumeration of about 250. Prof David M. Jordan, of the State University, has been chosen president es the Palomai University, of California, at SIO,OOO a year. All public schools should endeavor to prepare something for Indiana’s exhibit at the World’s Fair in 1893 at Chicago. According to the census of 1890 there ire thirty-five cities in the United States with more than 75,000 population each, and three, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia with more than a million each. Trustees are not required to report the teachers engaged by them until September first each year; yet, many of our teachers are engaged by the first of July atTarthest. ■ Trustee Huffman expects to erect a substantial graded school building at Linn Grove the coming season. Within the coming vacation Adams county will have at least three normal schools for the accommodation of those who cannot conveniently attend a regular organized normal or college. One at Pleasant Mills, one at Monroe and one at Decatur. These will be under the management of capable instructors and will doubtless be well attended. There were nearly eight hundred punctual pupils reported for the schools of the county within the past school year. Miss Lila Schrock, of the Berne schools, had thirty live punctual, which is the largest number yet reported from any school within the county for the past school year. Eli Merriman has just finished taking the school enumeration of Washington township for Trustee Voglewede whose labors require more time than is at his disposal. Eli holds a first grade license and is a willing worker in whatever he undertakes. There were sixty-five applicants .for county diplomas in attendance at the March examinations. St. Marys town ship stands to the front with thirty-two applicants, Berne next with fourteen applicants. The county d : ploma examination questions for Indiana this year were prepared by the following committee of county superintendents: J. W. Denny, of Randolph county; J. F. Snow, of Adams county; W. H. Jackson, of Spencer county; Calvin Moon, of St. Joseph county, and C. M. Merica, of DeKalb county. Angola and Ridgeville colleges are furnishing instruction to a dumber of our progessive students and energetic young teachers. The young persons who expect to teach in the public schools, have now ample opportunities to secure a more thorough knowledge of the subjects taught, and the best plans and methods of presenting them. Our trustees are ever on the alert in making their selec-. tions and each desires to supply his schools with those teachers who can best perform the work required of them. The Germ Destroyer. In the field of discovery and invention, medicine has not kept pace with surgery. That, perhaps, is natural; service surgery ]8 |hp byancl} of medjcinp. The general acceptance of the germ the; ory of disease, however, opens a new field for medicine, and will take it completely away from the mediaeval superstitions that s till cling to its skirts. And yet medicine is not without its discoveries. It has long been known, and the fact is now recog-' nized wherever the test has been made, that Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) will destroy the gems of malarial disease, the microbes ot skin disease, and the bacilli of contagious and other forms of* blood poisoning, ejects them from the/blood, and purifies and builds up the system. No medical discovery of our day has achieved such remarkable success. /■. - it v i “» M v C h Bette's Mowntiin The best salve in the world for burns, piles, boils, fresh wounds, old sores, frozen feet, sore eyes. etc. Guaranteed to be superior to any other for burns and scalds.

I $ Communicated. Editor Democrat:—lf I may be permitted space, I desire to thank Mr. John Elzey, of Monroe, for his response to my communication in the Democrat of the 10th and make a few observations, little more than mere mention, briefly as may be taken altogether his article was pleasing and edifying, but I must adhere firm’y to my former reasoning that there is nothing whatever in the reading ot this particular circumstance in the history of Daniel to justify the wholesale avertment that Daniel prayed with his face toward Jerusalem,and it requires a very far-fetched and light as gossamer influence, to arrive at even the faintest shadow of so doubtful a conclusion. The gentleman’s observation that he sees no virtue in arguing such matters except as they have a tendency to make people more careful bible students; embraces the particular point for which I broached the subject, and my only reason. From a misconstruction and misapplication of the scriptures, through careless study, if study at all, or sinister design, hundreds of thousands have been slain and the earth saturated with innocent blood. From the dedication of Solomon’s Temple to the time of Daniel, was a little oyer four hundred years, so it will not do to blend the two periods too closely and intimately together and drain from them. From a careless attention to prophecy and the revelation of God through His prophets, “a. blindness happened unto Israel,” and when the Messia came to his own national people they received him neglected and slew him. They hWoecome wrapped in the belief that because they were , the descendants of Abraham after the flesh they inherited through him and the law—salvation. But the son of God cried out to them, and said, “seach the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, but they and they which testify of me. Say not within yourselves, we have Abraham to our Father.” Again, “he that climbeth up another way is a thief and robber.” As did Israel. So it is plain to my view that in these present times there is a drifting, drifting away from the land marks of the truth, and how dreadful the thought that blindness may impeceptibly be haopening unto us. His kingdom is a spritual kingdom, set up in the hearts of the children of grace, and shall endure forever. Let us be carerul to read and perceive and understand. I most heartily endorse the gentleman’s closing paragraph afffl Hope his article may help to arouse the people to the object sought. I should be pleased to be shown a, “thus saith the Lord for the Pagan Sunday,” or first day of the week, being instituted as the Christian Sabbath, or Sabbath at all, or God’s holy Sabbath, as we hear taught. I should be glad to say much more, but I have already run to greater length than anticipated. Adieu, until the long winter evenings, and perhaps forever. Anxious to Know. 1 he Book Trust Knocked Out. A CARD TO THE PUALIC. Some six months ago we began the publication of our reprint of the famous Encyclopaedia Britannica in 25 volumes, which we issued at $1.50 per volume. The price of the English edition always has been and still is SB.OO per volume, and the Scribner edition $5.00 per volume in the cheapest binding. That the public appreciate so great a bargain is shown by the fact that over half a million volumes of this reprint have been sold in less than six months. • This elegant new edition we still offer at the same price, $1.50 per volume. This is the greatest bargain ever known in books. Better still we will deliver the set complete on small easy payments, to suit the convenience of customers. Remember this is not an abridgement but the great Edinburgh ninth edition, reproduced page for page with important articles on American subjects rewritten to date by eminent American authors, and new maps, later and better than in any other / Special Offer.-!— We claim that our reprint compares favorably with the high priced editions in every respect, and in respect to maps, and strength and beauty of bindings is superior to them. In order that this claim fnaybe tested by a personal inspection we snake the follow proposition: We will fbrnish volume I, at 6octs,—a fraction qf actuaj cost—jf sept t>y express. Add 4flcts postage if sent fey mail. Amounts paid for volume I, will be credited on price of set when ordered. R. S. Pkale & Co., 315-321 Wabash Ave., Chicago. How to bucceed.

Sullivan and Paddy Ryan en gaged in a fisticuff in this quiet little village last week. Sullivan, the actor, has skipped, but Ryan (Joe Blaney) has plenty of color in his eyes —several colors, hues and tints. Uncle Billy Baughman, recorder elect, left us and has moved to Decatur. While we regret our loss in a good citizen we wish him success in his new home. We shall miss Uucle Billy in the campaigns, as he was one of the old wheel horses of Democracy in this township. We often hear the remark. “Nice day over head.” But you hardly hear “Nice under foot.” No, simply because you are in the mud and would rather wade in the mire than have good gravel roads. What’s the matter with us people anyhow? Are we too poor to pay for gravel roads or too stingy, which? Well, we should say stingy. Take a farmer who owns eighty acres of land Hying along a proposed pike, he would be assessed $2.00 per acre or $l6O. Oh this amount he would pay six percent interest, and in round numbers say that the interest and principal would amount to S2OO, he would pay to the county treasurer each year S2O. Is that going to break any farmer up? And, if the said farmer should see fit, he could put a team to work hauling gravel to make the road, and thus pay or nearly pay his assessment. We should like to hear from others of the Democrat’s many thousand readers on this subject. Don’t be backward but put your shoulder to the wheel [and let’s (get out of the mud. A Fatal MistaKe,. Physicians make no more fatal mistake than when they inform patients that nervous heart troubles come trom the stomach and are of little consequence. Dr. Franklin Miles, the noted Indiana specialist, has proven the contrary in his new book on “heart disease,” which may be had free at W. H. Nachtrieb’s, who guarantees and recommends Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, which has the largest sale of any heart remedy in the world.

Have tried every remedy I could think of, but found no relief until I took Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, which has done me more good than all other medicines I ever took. I am fast being cured and am satisfied that by continuing the use of it a short time longer, it will work a complete cure. It is a great remedy, and should be highly recommended. Mrs. Tom* J.
