There is no clue to the thief as yet. An Important Communication From Tipton. I have suffered with rheumatism for over one year. Have tried every remedy I could think cf, but found no relief until I took Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, which has done me more good than all the 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 recommend ed. Mrs. Tom J.

Those who continue to suffer with contagious blood disease, after having gone through the usual course of treatment, i have one consolation: They can fall back on the never-failing specific, S. S. S. Sometimes they suffer from the disease itself, and sometimes from the effects of the "/ treatment itself, specially if mercury and Other mineral poisons have been employed. . In either case they can find an in'allible v remedy in S. S. S. It would be better to E take advantage of the reijiedy before tinI, dergoing other treatment, as thousands ; have done and are doing, but it is not E everybody’s foresight that is as good ashis hindsight. .

Monroe Items. Mrs. Henry Bollinger still survives, but her death is expected at any moment. Last Wednesday the old depot building caught fire from a passing locomotive, but was smothered just r in time to save the north part of the center of the county. The fire department arived in time. Remember, that on Saturdry night, July 25, there will be one more effort made to have a grand ice cream festival in the park grove at Monroe, for the benefit of the Baptist church. Last Saturday night Monroe was visited with as large a crowd of ice cream eaters, (or would have ate it if they could have got it) that ever struck Monroe. We saw acquaintances from Moliki, Henpeck, Newville, and from near the land of Nod (Magley.) and the city of Peth (Salem,) and Sodom (Peterson,) ajuL,surrounding country all came in fine each vehicle crowded with lively, living human Beings, full of hope and expectation of a jolly time, with plenty of money to squander for a taste ofthe' cooling flavor, but , alas, miles had (been traveled, collars and dainty hats had been purchased, money and time expended for the occasion. Icecream had vanished, lemonade, bananas and everything else had disappeared as chaff before the wind, long -before the crowd had arrived. Then a wail went forth, crying, woe, woe, be unto Mor. roe. LaWMonday the tooting of the steam ivhist’.e-at the Mcm-oe Hoop Works here, called the people of Monroe to a smoky scene, which might have caused a serious thing for the hoop company. A large pile of shavings that had accumulated from the factory caught ;rom a spark of the smoke stack, and burned, caus ng great alarm. A bucket brigade was organized by everybody, and a line formed from tne boiling hoop vats to the smoking pile of burning debris, which was hot/ and so w<.s the ■water. Some fellow said, it's no use, the darned thing will burn the harder if wc throw this boiling water on that fire, the hotter the water the hottei the fire. We saw Doc Rainer tugging at a bucket that looked like a salt barrel sawed in two with a hoop pole for a bail. Some fellow yelled out that “Colie” the dog. was in a scalding vat, taking a bath. It the world had been on fire the dog should be saved, rather than to have his “Colie” dog made a Mexican dog without hair, we ran to see the dog, when we ran against Jo Head who was at the end of a long rubber hose engineetring a nozzle that threw a stream about the size of a sewing thread, trying to hit Chris Hocker in the ear. The factory building was saved by the steady southwest wind that was then prevailing, had it been from the north, thousands of dollas worth of property have been destroyed, but by the timely efforts of our fire brigade, the pile of debris melted away causing no loss of property. Miss Blanche Lewellen, of Farmland, Ind., spent last Sunday with her cousin, Mrs. Z. O. Lewellen, of Monroe. Pleasant Mills Items. The hum of the threshing machine is heard in our neighborhood.

The infiiir was held Thursday at the residence of David Lahrnan, on Winchester street. The newly wedded couple will leave for a short trip to Toledo and other places in Ohio. The Democrat sends greetings, Old peoples day at the Methodist church, Saturday and Sunday July 25th and 26th. Opening sermon Saturday evening at 7:30 by Rev. J. L. Foster. Sunday 10:30 a. m. sermon by Rev. L. W. Monson, of Wabash, 3:30 p. m. old time experience meeting, 7:30 sermon by L. W. Monson. H is intended to make this a service for aged Christians and we hope that manv of the older members of our church will avail themselves of this day service. Rev. Monson was one of the pioneer preachers of northern Indiana, entering the conference in 1542, and is well known over the Ft. Wayne district having traveled it from 1566 to 1870. Those who were once benedicts held an indignation meeting under the river bridge last Sun lay afternoon, at which it was fullv resolved, that the blood of sheriff Dailey, of Wells county, should drench the soil of Adams county, near the Grim prairie, on his next occasion to infringe upon their rights. Some of the young men have been kicking themselves ever since N. K. Todd, hoodwinked them, and now to have Sheriff Dailey, of the villiage on the “cow path,” attempt to beguile another of our fair girls to move into that wicked villiage on the is too much for them, and they have declaired for blood, or die on the spot. Some of them have gone into training, expecting to be called out next Sa’urday evening. The Never Sweats will hold an Official meeting as soon as the weather moderates somewhat. They seem to be incresing in numbers as the weather gets warmer. They have been annoying the street commissioner somewhat of late, he having the audacity to ask some of them to work the streets, which if they were to do would subject them to a heavy penality, if not to expulsion from the order. At the next regular meeting they will elect a new Grand High Mogule for the balence of the year, and when installed, oannot be removed for any cause, excepting the one for which the order is named. Should he ever be caught attempting to perform manuel labor, then a charge will re’duce him to the ranks. What might have been a serious accident, occured last Monday afternoon on Jeffers >n street, but luckily no one was hurt. A horse and buggy belonging to Fred Shaffer was left standing in front of his residence, when, for some unaccountable reason, the horse became frightened and dashed down Jefferson street. After running a short distance the horse ran into a wagon owned by Tone Voglewede, doing little damage to the wagon but completely demolishing the buggy. The horse ran across Second street and into the lot on the opposite corner, overturning a cup- ‘ board belonging to Fred. Milller, the barber, who was just moving into the houseAfter some trouble the horse was finally captured down in the corner of the lot, Always hitch your horses and accidents of this kind will seldom occur. Col. I. N. Walker, of Indianapolis, a member of the State Board of Tax Commissioners, was in the city last Wednesday with county assessor Niblick and the County Boaid of Review. He is making 1 a tour of the state, looking after the ap praisement of real estate. He intimated to our board of review that Adams county should appraise her realty “at not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per acre,” the county board having it at a little over twenty-four dollars ($24.00) per acre. To raise it to twenty-five dollars per acre, the county board will have to raise five per cent higher than they now have it. Our board of review have come very close to what the state commis-’ sioner will be satified with, so we will not be raised by the state tax commissioner The new law to discourage drunkenness went into effect in Msssachusetts last week. It is a revolution in tempeance legislation. Any man arrested hereafter may make personal affidavit to the person in charge ot the police station, or other place of detention, that he has not been arrested on the same charge twice before in the same year since January Ist, and he will be allowed to go free if the official to whom he makes the statement is not prepared to go into court next day and prove its falsity. For a third offense in one year a person must be sentenced to imprisonment for a period of not more than one year. Fines won’t let him off. Thus it will be seen that a citizen of Massachusetts may get boiling, raving drunk twice a year and suffer no other penalty than a headache. The law was passed at the instance of the prohibition element and will prove to be one of the most interesting experimental acts ever placed upon a statute book. C. S. Niman, an old Van Werter, now living at Decatur, Indiana, was in town Tuesday. He says the excitement over the Daisy Reynolds affair has subsided, though for a time it was intense. Decatur is not friendly toward negroes and none live there. It is thought that all implicated in the tragedy will be severely punished. Mr. Niman thinks Van Wert “out of sight” compared with Decatur, and wilj probably drift back here. Van Wert Bullitin. The gentlemen seems to be a little off his base. There was no excitement here oVef a couple of Van Wert county’s worthless negipes. Oui people have not trouble,d giemwelj'es gfeout the matter only to s-.ee tftat tne be dealt with according tp they will be sure to get here. (While of us have any particular tovr tor a Rfi/gf.Q, yet they have always received the ment they deserved when stopping here, but if Van Wert county sends her worthless negroes over here to commit a crime they may be suae that they will be punished according to the crime they commit, let them be black or white “niggers.”

Convention ot Christian Endeavors. The following has been handed us for publication by the secretary of the Christian Endeavor Society,.of this place: A grand scene it was when one by one the delegations took their places in tha pre-convention home, while from the high choir gallery the songs of the society were being sung with a royal will. The great hall was as hospitable a place as hands could make it. Everywhere the gay color ot the .nation’s own bunting was seen—around pilla • s, from the front of the speakers stand, here and there in smaller dashes of color anti in the cne long border around the gallery's front, while conspicuously below the speaker’s stand the Union Jack was draped along side the stdrs and stripe®, the two no closer to one another than the two continents—so the Endeavotors hope-4will some day be in Endeavor work. The sun of as lovely a day as ever the Endeavorers could a»k for was setting the pace for the steps of the aiternoon when at last the hour came for the formal commencement of the 10th international convention of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeaver. On the platform below the chorus, when the opening hour arrived, set the local pastors of the Twin cities, with the trustees and officers ot the National society. The cars leading across the rivfer were loaded down at an early hour, and long before the doors opened there was an Immense throng clamoring for admittance the outside. The grand chorus of 1,000 voices spent the two hours before the convention opened in rehearsal under the direction of Lewis F. Lindsey, of St. Louis, and in the' emptyl?auditorium the music rolled up in grand volume. The hall decorations were principally in the international colors for with the stars and stripes was entwined the English Jack, in honor of Canada, who sends many hundreddelegates of the convention. H’gh above the speaker’s stand was the motto that goes wherever the Endeavors go—“For Christ and the Church.” Huge pillars were all wound with the national colors and bunting made the big hall look inviting in all its parts. The stage rails were covered with roses scattered liberally through them all lent their soft fragrance to the inspiring scene. And it was inspiring when the great hall was crowded and President Clark arose to call the vast assemblage of 12,000 to order. Down in front was seated the immense Illinois delegation of over 1,000. Ohio was off at the right and Wisconsin at the When the order was given “open the doors,” there was a vigorous hand clapping from the chorus, and then as delegation after delegation filed in the applause from the chojus catne forth in wave after wave. The work of seating the delegations was handled by the ushers with very few hitches. When the various delegations in the gallery hung their banners on the outer walls draping down over the rail, there was more applause. “The 10th international convention of the Christian Endeavor will now come to order,” said President Clark, as he stepped to the front of the platform, “and let our first word be in song, ‘All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,”’ and the multitude of voices rolled out the grand old song with a volume that completely filled the hall The choir on the one side vied with the great audience and there never was a more inspiring song heard in the Northwest. President Clark announced that the appointment of a scribe ’> would be necessary. Rev. H. W. Gleason, of Minneapolis, was chosen. The president was instructed to appoint the usual committees at to-night’s meeting. Rev. Dr. Vassar, of the First Baptist church, Kansas City, offered prayer. THINGS THAT THE CONVENTION DONE. The Methodist delegates sent a memorial to the next general assembly of that chur ch asking: First—That there be no legislation of the chruch that w ; ll disturb the present status of these societies, tiow organized within the Methodist Episcopal church. Second—That, by special act of yours, this society be accorded the right of way, or the privileges of existence, within the Methodist Episcopal church, especially with any other y«ung people’s societies of the church. It. unanimously passed a resolution asking in the name of the Christian Sabbath that the World’s Fair be closed on Sunday. Also resolved that the church and societies build a hall on the ground of the fair, to be known as the “Christian Hall.” It was decided to hold the next international convention at New York City, and at Montreal, Canada, in 1893. Every delegate pledged himself to give two cents a week for foreign missions, which means $15,000 a year, and if all the ■ societies adopt the plan,as many have, it means over SIOO,OOO a year for Christ , and the church.
