An interesting program has been prepared for the occasion and every farmer in Adams > county should not fail to be in attendance. The following gentlemen- compose the commi'.tee of arrangements: G. H. Martz, Monroe township; V. D. Bell, French; William Jackson, St. Marys; C, W. Hocker and Mrs. J. P. Johnson, Monroe. The following is the program prepared for the day’s work: MORNING SESSION—IO O’CLOCK. Music. Invocation.-;Bev. Foster. Address of WelcomeG. H. Laugbrey. Response<..J. T. W. Luckey.

Heart disease is usually supposed to be incurable, but when properly treated a large proportion of cases can be cured. Thus Mrs. Elmira Hatch, of Elkhart, Ind., and Mrs. Mary L. Baker, of Ovid, Mich., were cured after suffering twenty years. S. C. Linburger, druggist at San Jose, 111.-> says that Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure which cured the former, “worked wonders for his wife.” Levi Logan, of Buchanan, ,Mich., who had heart disease for thirty years, says two bottles made him "feel like a new man.” Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure is so’d and guaranteed by W. H. Nachtrieb. Book of wonderful testimonials free. “Keep It Out of the Paper.” “Keep it out of the paper” is the cry which the local newspaper publisher dai y hears. To oblige often costs considerable, though the party who makes the request thinks the granting scarcely worth saying “thank you” for. A newspaper is a particular article in the public’s e\e. The news gatherer is stormed at because he gets hold of one item, and is abused because he does not get another.. Young men and often young women, as well as older, perform acts which become legitimate items for publication and then rush to the newspaper offices to beg the editors not to notice their escapades. The next day they condemn the same paper for not having published another party doing the same thing they were guilty of, forgetting, apparently, their late visit to the printing office. The subscribers expect to read the news, and there is always wonder when, for charity’s sake, an item on the street and in everybody’s mouth is not found in the next issue of the paper. ’ \ *** < Happy Hoosiers. Wm. Timmbnds, Postmaster of Idaville, Ind., Writes: “Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from kidney and liver trouble.’** > John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same j place, says: “Find Electric Bitters to be the best kidney and liver medicine, made me feel like a new man.” J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don’t care whether he lives or dies he found new strength^good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease on life.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

1 he Book Trust Knocked Out. A CARD TO THE PL'ALIC. Some 5 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 sS,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 bargain ever known in books. Better still we will deliver the set complete on small easy payments, to suit the convenience of customei s. 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 edition.g Special Offer. — 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 may be tested by a personal inspection we make the follow proposition: We will furnish volume I, at 6octs, —a fraction of actual cost—if sent by express. Add 4octs postage if sent by mail. Amounts paid for volume I, will be credited on price of set when ordered. R. S. Peale & Co., 315-32 1 Wabash Ave., Chicago. Council Proceedings.

The holding of the World’s Fair in a city scarcely fifty years old will J>e a re markable event, but whether it will really benefit this nation as much as the discovery of the Restorative Nervine by Dr. Miles is doubtful. This is just what the American people need to cure their excessive nervousness, dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, neuralgia, nervous debility, of mind, etcIt acts like a charm.

Monroe Items. ■ '7- ’ The orchards, meadows and woods are beautifully decorated with flowers. • Our depot is receiving a new spring dress in and outside. The tints and shades are quite delicate, which still adds to biauty of our village. The farmers are now busy plowing for oats and corn, and will use every effort to put out enough corn, oats, potatoes, etc., to ’do them and have plenty to sell. Monroe has spasmodic spasms in all lint 6 of business, and is still on the in crease in population, new comers pouring into town; The citizens are doubling up to accommodate the adopted ones. Come on, ten thousand more. The hoop factory here will be to some like the discovery of gold in California, a rush for gold and position. 'lhere will be a few appointed and many disappointed. Yet we are pleased to know that the factory is an established fact, with a foundation too heavy and large for an ordinary cyclone to tackle. We know of a fellow who runs a mile or more to borrow the Decatur Democrat from generous hearted neighbors. When the fellow is able to control a whole printing office, if he wished to, there is no qi) stery about him borrowing the paper, and not being a subscriber himself, for he is too infernal stingy, and witn all his stinginess and hoggishness he is not making and saving any more than his generous hearted neighbor—have pity' on such stingy creatures. Lend the paper to him or he will be lost. John W. Hendricks has sawed the last butt, the last log left on the mill yard, blowed out the last faint spark in the turnace, all his hubs stowed away, lumber stacked, the workmen all paid off, the mill locked up and has retired from the timber business for the summer, and he now proposes to roam over the plains of lowa and Kansas a short time, visiting relatives and friends of whom he has not seen since his infancy. John may go into the Cow Boy business if his body is not confiscated by the Cow Boys to make lariets of. We are glad to kn that Jim Blaine is as smart as King Humbert; we are glad to know that our president is so honored on his tour; we are glad to know that Cleveland is the prospective candidate for president; glad to know that Cleveland is superior to all his opponents; we are glad that winter is past and summer is here; we are glad there will be no war with England on account ol having no Canada to go to; we are sorry to hear of Von Moltke’s death; we are sorry that the presidential party did not visit Monroe; we are sorry that Blaine did not clean out the motley Italians and get rid of the organ grinder and monkey; we are sorry to hear of the sad accident at Rome; we are sorry to hear of the the great calamity that befell Jonas Gilbert last. Nowhere save in the wilderness beyond the frontiers of civilization can such perfect comfort be found as in Monroe. A few attending and looking after everybody’s business but their own busines c and those very busy business men have no business at alFoTthcir own. We have one fellow in Monroe who can hold down more chairs and boxes harder and tighter to the floor in one week than any other individual according to his strength. He is a public knowledge box, scraps and fragments of news about his neighbor’s business can be gathered at any time, and if a stranger takes up his abode with us. the stranger becomes the center of obser vation, a target to shoot at, judgment is passed as to his business qualifications and capacity, but with all that, men of buinesss and push pay no attention to such judgments, and the world moves on and advances anyhow. Isn’t it Comfort and pleasant,'very encouraging? Shut the door and go to Georgia. An Acknowledgement. Messrs. Moffett, Morgan & Co., Gentlemen: —You were correct in advising me to use Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, and I wish to state that it has cured me of rheumatism with which I have been afflicted for fifteen years. People who know me, know how I have suffered with it, and that I have tried many different medicines without relief. I can truthfully say that Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup and Plasters have effected wonders In my case, and I recommend them for kidney and liver trouble as well as rheumatism.

Fifteen women voted at the late municipal election in Lombard, 111., which has a special charter which provides that all citizens over twenty-one may vote at municipal elections. The ques’ion now to settle is “Are women citizens?” Alliance, Ohio, has had a seige this winter of immoral shows and indecent show bills. The W. C. T. U. there circu lated a petition obtaining over three hundred names which was presented to the city council, asking that these exhibitions be suppressed. The council granted their petition cheerfully. The NormaJ, 111., W. C. T. U has just finished and dedicated new headquartras. The building is owned by the Union and' consists of seven large parlors, a library and a kitchen The Union is to be congratulated on its new home and its energetic work in this college town. In Topeka, Kansas, week before la s t on Monday, there was just one case before its police court. Can any license city of 32,000 inhabitants show as good a Monday record? Kansas City Sleeper.
