Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground floor. The Street Fakir. On last Tuesday morning a street fakir drove down Second street in a buggy, with several snakes entwined about his neck. The people, of course, were somewhat surprised at this exhibition, for here, they generally put the snakes down their necks, and, as may be supposed, quite a crowd gathered around his buggy when it stopped near Peter Holthouse’s clothing store. After getting his stock in trade properly displayed, he began business. He fir.t sold some small articles for twenty five cents. Charley France, John Brown, Dave Eley, Jim Place, George Teeple, Edwards, the electric light man, John Coots, the music teacher, Pendleton Rice, Ed. France and several others, who happened to have the required amount got a corner on the market and made 50 per cent on their investment. But soon the prices advanced and neckties came up to 50 cents. They all invested again, while the market looked firm, with fair prospects for a raise which finally came. Tom Merryman wanted to invest, but the raise frightened him and he declined to purchase. Neckties went up to $1 with a gold watch thrown in. This was the highest point and after several sales were made, things began to get shakey. Then Jim Place wanted to unload, and Charley France got nervous, Tom Merryman smiled, while the gentleman who had created so much sensation complacently put away his stock, closed his grip, and bid the boys good day. The fakir carried away the boys good dollars and left them with neckties worth about three cents a piece. A sucker is born every minute, so they say. Happy Hoosiers. Wm. Timmonds, 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 place,says: '•Find Electric Bitters to be the best kidney and liver medicine, made me leel like a new man.” J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: “Electric Bit ters is just the thing for a man who is all ■un down and don’t care whether he lives or dies; he found new strergth, good ap petite and felt just like he had a new lease on life. Only 50c. a bottle, at A. R. Pierce’s drug stoie. 0 Great is Chicago. Here is some important information from La Mprcure, of Nan’es, France, which We commend to our readers: ,Chicago is situated at the foot of the falls of Niagara ar.d receives the waters of the great lakes. In no part of Europe will you find so great a city. Its boulevards are regular and as straight as its streets, which seem to have been ruled with a straight edge, and in it all railroads have termini. One is almost frightened by the height of the buildings, in which all styles of architecture meet without confusion. About sixty years ago we first visited the tails of Niagara, and our first stop was naturally at Chicago. Excellent hotels, yery attractive people were there; ar,d as we took a rapid walk along the banks of the “Father of Waters” we were obliged continually to avoid meeting the descendants of the companion of St. Aiithortv (pigs). Now these noisy animals have their own quarter, where they are sold, and they no longer, by their squeals, disturb the public peace.— .Evansville, (Ind.) Standard. Wonderful Discovery. Mrs. Louis Elzroth, of Wabash, Ind,, says: *T am ready to acknowledge that Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup is a great medicine. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for some time, and for several months previous to using Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, I was unable to help myself. J. T. Graden, druggist of Wabash, Ind. urged me to give it a trial, and it worked a complete cure in my case. I think it the best family medicine in the world. Mrs. Louis Elzroth, Wabash, Ind, Sold by W. H. Nachtrieb. A Mystery Explained. The papers contain frequent notices of rich, pretty and educated girls eloping with negroes, tramps and coachmen.

World’s Fair Notes. James Allison, ot Cincinnati, has 1 een chosen Chief of the Department of Manu factures, and Willard A. Smith, Chief of transportation. Prof W. D. Tomlins has been commissioned Choral Director of the exposition. Prof. Tomlins is m England and will invite the great English choral societies to participate in the dedication ceremonies of the exposition buildings in October, 1592. The auditorium for choral music has been located in the nogth court of the manufactures building. Texas has decided to set apart a spacious room in its exposition building for an exhibit by the colored people of the state. Alabama may be represented in miniature at the exposition by a series of com. prehensive relief maps. A man at Mobile has brought out this scheme and proposes to show the mineral deposits, cotton belt, vegetable farms and everything else ot interest in the state on a scries of maps covering 20,c00 square feet. Commissioner Capt. G P. Cotton, who is now at San Pedro Sula, Honduras, stirring up interest in the World’s Fair, ha* secured a collection of over 400 varieties of birds, some of which are quite unknown to the outside world, which will be exhibited with other products ot Honduras. The extraordinary collection of butterflies and insects will not be far behind, and arrangements have been made to forward a fine selection of orchids to Chicago at an early date, so that they may be growing and blooming there in 1894. In the city of Leipsic, Germany, thirtytour firms have declared their intention of participatating in the Columbian Exposition. At a meeting ot the Cologne (Germany) Board of Trade, June 30th, a resolution was adopted rsking the Imperial Commissioner for the Columbian Ex position to get estimates from Chicago from responsible firms for showcases, etc-, in order to enable exhibitors to figure more closely the probable expense of exhibiting. George Ward, manager ot the Commercial Cable Company, writes to Chief Barrett that he will make a big display at the exposition of cable instruments. He expects to show a complete repairing steamer, illustrating the method of repairing cables. * The London Times, in a long review of the exposition, says there can be no d'oubt now that the exposition will surpass in many respect alj expositions previously held. English manufacturers ars urged to make large displays. The New Orleans Machinery Company writes to Chief Buchanan that it will make a complete exhibit of cbtton gins, sugar mills and other machinery at the exposition. Another interesting invention that this company will bring is the first cotton gin made by Eli Whitney, which was invented some time in 1790. The great auxiliary committee on agricultural congresses has issued an address to the agriculturalists of the country. This auxiliary congress will inc ude representatives of farmers organiz itions. agricul tural colleges and state boards of agriculture. The subjects to be considered em brace every branch of farm life. The local committee will be assisted in its work by a large advisory board to be selected from various countries. The art department has issued its rules to exhibitors, outlining the plan of the art exhibit. AU works to be admitted must be original, with the exception that casts from original works by modern artists are placed in the same class with original figures and groups in marble. There will be three sections ir the department-—an American section; a section for foreign countries that are represented by a commission; a section comprising private collections and the works of artists from countries not represented by commission. All works must be examined by an official jury before they can be admitted. Progress in American art and architecture is to be a special feature of the exhibit. The Wisconsin State building will be two stories high, with not Ipss than 10,090 feet of floor space exclusive of porchea. The whole structure is to be built of Wisconsin material. The exterior walls are to be of stone, brigk and terracotta, and the roof of slate, tile or iron, made in Wisconsin. The interior is to be ornamented and furnished with plate beveled, and mirror glass, Wisconsin pine and hardwood, and encaustic tile. The cost ot the building is estimated at $30,000. The commission has advertised tor plans and offers a prizes ot S3OO for the accepted design and S2OO for the next in merit. All of the important trunk lines in the United States have agreed to transport exhibits at half the usual rates. This reduc ion is made by the different traffic associations. It applies to every class of exhibits except fancy horses, cattle and other high priced animals. The latest traffic association to grant the half rate is the Trans continental, an association that embraces all lines west of the Missis sippi River. Similar action has already been taken by the Western Traffic Association, and Central Traffic Association, Trunk Line and New* England Association. U Under the direction of Chief Burnham plans for two new buildings for the exposition are being made. These build ings are for a shoe and leather exhibit, and for a musical di-play. They will be about 325 by 425 fiet each, and eash will cost SIOO 000. The location se’ected for them is in the grand court of the man: - facturers and liberal arts building. It was the original inten ion to leave two great Open courts 11 the pen’uerof the manufacture building, each ab"4it 400 by §op fi et. After the shoe and leather industries made such a determined fight for the building and agreed to ra»e all the money necessary to put it up, Chief Burnham de :ided that the two bu|'ding< named could be erected in the courts which he had original! v intend'd to d corate with flowers and fountams. The hu Idings will be one story high and will be s'para’ed trom the wall* of the main bt streets about fin y feet wide. ;• •.

Marshall Pass. Originality consists in doing a common thing in an uncommon way; for example, there are plenty of newspapers in the world, but only one Great Divide. The August number of this truly original journal fully sustains its character. A brilliant feature of this number is the art supplement in seven colors, showing Marshall Pass, the longest, loftiest and wildest ot the Rocky Mountains. We learn from the article descriptive of the pass that The Great Divide artist spent three weeks in camp on the spot, making sketches, taking photographs and painting studies, from which this magnificent picture of the scene, as it actually exists, was made. In and of itself the art'supplement is worth a whole year's subscription to the journal whose enterprise has produced it. The literary features of this number are up to its high standard; the illustrations are copious and exceedingly handsome. The picture of the snow tunnel near Ouray, Colorado, is the first ever made, and graphically illustrates a wonderful formation, namely, a tunnel existing in midsummer in the snow, through which fourhorse coaches are driven, on the much traveled Silverton and Ouray toll road. It is needless to enumerate the many good things in science, art and literature to be found in the August number of The Great Divide. This art number will be sent on application to the publishers at Denver, Colorado, on receipt of only ten cents. There are no cats within the limits of Leadville, Colo., the thin atmosphere at that altitude (10,200 feet) being fatal to them. They are, however, not required, the town being free from rats and mice from the same cause. A Reliable Assistant. The poet and the almanac-maker agree that all seasons have their signs, but those of spring are most active find insistent. It is then that nature throws off the lethargy of winter and prepares to renew her bounties. - It is then, also, that nature attempts to throw off the impurities that have lain dormant in the human system. This effort manifests itself in various ways—in the increased activity of old affections, in the appearance of boils, carbuncles and other eruptions, and in the various symptoms so familiar to those who have suffered. It is at this period that nature finds an active and a trustworthy assistant in S. S. S , which, in the work of purifying the blood and strenghtening the system, has proven to be the most perfect spring medicine ever offered to the public. Connecticut’s constitution was adopted in 1818. Before that the state was governed under the charter of 1662, which was continued by the constitution of 1776. The amendments have been numerous. ir — ■ Rheumatism Can be Cured. Although it has baffled our best physicians, it car be permanently cured by the proper use of Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup, which cleanses the blood of all poisonous matter and induces a healthy action of the kidneys and liver. To secure the best results, Hibbard’s Rheumatic and Liver Pills, and Strengthening and Rheumatic Plasters should be used in connection wi h the Sy: up. Sold by W. H.

Out ot several hundred written testimonials to the worth and merits of the Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica there is only room for a limited number. Lyman J. Gages President Worlds Columbian Exposition. And vice President ot the First National Bank, says: “The movement inagurated to supply the people with the Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is a marked indication of an advance in the intlectual taste of the community. Under the easy conditions of purchase of the work it ought to be in every library, however humble.” From The Chicago Herald. “The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is a magnificent and valuable possession tor every household. It presents for the first time a a camplete reference library at a price and on terms within reach of every family.” a From The St. Lnuis Republic. * “The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is not the Encyclopaedia Britannica injits old form, but the Encyclopaedia "Britannica Americanized as to make it a thousand-fold more valuable to American readers than the Englsh edition.” This great work may be obtained for $30.00, including one year’s subscription to THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT as follows: The ten volumes will be delivered on payment of $5.00 and then $2.50 each month thereafter until the full amount is paid.
