All crops are good, the wheat that has bten threshed, has been turning out from twenty-five to thirty bushels to the acre.

The lajing of brick on our school building commenced on Tuesday, and the brick layers on the building are as numerous as fiddlers in some other country. A typographical error was made to appear in the obituary of Lot French last week. His age should have read 78 years, 3 months and 22 days, instead of 71 years. Uncle Isaac Darst, of Bloomington, 111., a brother cf Mrs. Lot French, is visiting his sister and other relatives here. T we-nty odd years having past since they met. John G. Adler, our genial undertaker, on being interrogated as to why he had purchased the second hearse, says that’s easy, there has another doctor moved into town. Dr. J. W. Keckler, of Greenville. Ohio, makes his bow to the people of this community as a doctor of physics. The Dr. is a graduate from the medical college of Marlon. A friend contributed the following to our items this week: We noticed quite a group of persons on last Sunday morning on the street in front of Hoffman & Gottschalk’s store, we hastened there to ascertain the cause of the excitement,, when we found Peter to be the center of attraction., He having on a linen colar, the first in twenty years, he not being a believer of such personal adornment. On last Friday Frederick Neaderhouser and George Wachter started for Berne with a team and wagon, on their starting they hoisted their umbrella, to this luxury the horses objected to theiextent that they ran away. George knowing that he carried more muscle than Fred took the lines. But ah, too soon, was thrown overboard and run over by the wagon, in ths meantime Fred was riding on fast time, and that without lines. After seeing that the umbrella scheme had been abandoned the horses stopped to compromise the case, Wachter was picked up and assisted home, Dr. Haughton sent for who patched him up so that when he appeared on the street he resembled a clown of a first-class circus. LaGrippe Again. During the epidemic of lagrippe last season Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, proved to be the best remedy. Reports from the many that used it confirm this statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the disease left no bad after results. We ask you to give this remedy a trial and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with results, or the purchase price will be refunded- It has no equal in lagrippe, or any throat, chest or lung trouble. 3 rial bottles free at A.

Davis—Stone. We clip the following from Thursday morning’s Fort Wayr.e Journal'. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Davis, 30S East Wayne street, was the scene 01 a most charming home wedding last evening. Their daughter, Miss Addie Frances, was united in marriage to Mr. Frank Stone. The reception rcom and parlors were beautified by flotal decorations and assorted foliage plants. In the parlor, under an arch of carnations and smilax, Rev. S. A. Northrop, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, performed the pretty wedding servics promptly at eight o’clock. The bride, a pronounced brunette, looked very facinating in a wedding toilet of cream Lansdowne, exquisitely trimmed it>» Chiffon lace,. The gown was demitrain. In her hand the bride carried a cluster of bridal roses. Immediately after the ceremony showers of congratulations fell upon the happy couple. A wedding dinner was served to the relatives and a few friends at ten o’clock. The bride and groom have dispensed with a bridal tour and will be at home in a few days at their pretty cottage, 249 East Wayne street, which has already been furnished for occupancy.

A Liberal Proposition. — Who has not heard of that paragon of family papers, the enterprising and popular Week'y Detroit Free Press? For a generation its name has been a household word, and it has become a synonym for all that is excellent, pure and elevating in journalism. It is delightfully entertaining without resort to cheap sensationalism instructive without being prosy or pedantic. Combining the literary qualities of the expensive magazine with the bright, breezy characteristics of the newspaper, it leaves nothing to be desired by the average reader. It is loured upon as a wel come visitor by every family who reads it, while thousands regard it as indispensable and would on no account go without it. An enormous circulation of 125,000 copies per week attests its wonderful popularity. Recognizing the fact that there are those who are unfamiliar with its surpassing merits as a home paper, the publishers offer to send The Free Press to them for the balance of this year (over five months) for only 30 cents —a club of four for $1 or a club of ten for $2. All our readers should subscribe at once. Send for free sample copy. Height ot Cruelty. Nervous women seldom receive the sympathy they deserve. While often the pictures of health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold sympathy from these unfortunates is the height of cruelty. They have a weak heart, causing shortness of breath, fluttering, pain in side, weak and hungry spells, and finally swelling ot ankles, oppression, choking, smothering and dropsy. Dr. Miles New Heart Cure is just the thine for them. For their nervousness, headache, weakness, etc., his Restorative Nervine is Fine treatise on heart and nervous diseases and marvelous testimonials free. Sold and guaranteed by W. H. Nachtrieb.

Monroe Items. Everybody come out to the Band festival to-morrow night. Buy an evaporator and dry your blackberries, apples and sweetcorn. The festival at Monore last Saturday night netted about twenty-five dollars. The Monroe Hoop factory is idle this week on account of putting m additional machinery. Wanted at Simcoke’s drug store, 1,000 customers to buy Sheridan’s Condition Powders, engine and machine oil, the best manufactured. Died last Saturday night of cancer, Mrs. Henry Bollinger, after many weeks of suffering. Funeral services took place at her late residence on last Monday morning. The farmers crop this year in this neighborhoodis very large. George Richards, Jacob Ruckman, John’Peterson and Alison Andrews gathered an extraordinary crop—all girls, and doing well. Farmers and people of Monroe, we will have an exchange store here in a few day s J. M. Peele, of the firm of the Geneva Milling company, of Berne, has secured a room here and will exchange flour, feed, etc., for wheat, rye and corn. Just the thing we want. Secure a fruit evaporator and dry your corn and fruit that will go to waste, and make money. You can exchange your dried fruit any time of the year. Evaporate your grapes and make the finest raisins, it can be done with the cook stove. Fruit drier for sale by V. B. Simcoke, Monroe, Ind. The festival at Monroe last Saturday night was largely attended from far and near by the young people good and bad. Moliki was represented by a large crowd, one or two making themselves very conspicious on the ground by securing a wheelbarrow and getting his girl on the one wheeled /rig demonstrated to the crowd that he and his girl were experts in many difficult feats, over the commons to the amusement of the wee-kids. Another young fellow, from another part of the continent, tried to make his girl climb a tree, she failed in the attemp, so he showed his agility by climbing to the top and yetling out, whooppee, how beautiful you look from above, say gal, do I look little, up here? Yes, responded the gal, and “green” too; it is thought the young fellow died, as his glib was hushed. There were many ridiculous incidents on the ground by young tn<jn and ladies that would put a blush on a potato bug, at the same time and place there were many voung people who were civil and very be; coming and knew how to behave themselves, whom the good people of Monroe were glad to meet and have their company, and respectfully invite all such to return on all occasions. We met gentlemen and ladies from Berne, Decatur and other parts of the county who enjoyed the festivities and remarked that Monroe was the place to go to for fun. The Monroe weekly festivals are growing in interest. The Monrce Band will have a festival on Saturday night for the benefit of the band boys. The boys expect to have everything comfortable if the weather is cold, and everything to eat and drink if you are hungry and dry. Come everybody. Our Lady Readers Will be interested to know something concerning the great sales of Santa Claus Soap. The manufacturers, N. K. Fairbank & Co., are justly entitled to rank among the great advertisers ot the United States, and are counted among the most liberal patrons of printers’ ink in this country. The Fairbank Company is particularly friendly to newspapers as offering the most legitimate means of advertising, and naturally all newspapers are friendly to Santa C’aus Soap. It cannot be said, as in the case of some advertisers, that Fairbank has made Santa Claus famous, but it does seem correct to say tnat Santa Claus has made Fairbank famous. Santa Claus has been of course, for time out of mind, a household word. It was a happy thought when the Fairbank Company seized upon this home-ltke and familiar name for their very best laundry soap. Naturally enough the quality of the soap has had much to do with its success, for not even the most extravagent advertising could make a success of a poor articleOn the other hand there have been so many poor soaps put upon the market the past few .years, that in the beginning many purchasers hesitated to try another new candidate for favor at the wash-tub. Fairbank & Co. are live, wide-awake business men, and they knew just how good housekeepers felt on the soap question. So they not only set about to manufacture the very best soap that could be made, but they inaugurated a most earnest and honest system of advertising. No “fakes” or “schemes” have been employed to introduce “Santa Claus” Soap on the market. The brand was brought into notice by straightforward and legitimate methods, and has constantly gained in public favor because of the excellence of the article itself. Tfip manufacturers erf congratulate themselves upon such >-iuccess. We are informed that the sales of Santa Claus Soap have increased enor mously this year, and far above theaverage rate. No doubt a great share of the increase in this neighborhood is due to the fagt that Santa Claus Soap has been well ift gOlwniWMiles’ W.BW jjgp PW Act on a new principle—regulating the liver, stomach and bowels through the Mrvea.

Council Proceedings. While the last meeting ot the city council was not a stormy one, vet there were some acts and resolutions that stirred up some of the officials, so that the future may be dark so far as their official acts are concerned. The members were all present except Ernst.. After the reading of the minutes the finance committee reported the following claims for allowance: J. K. Mann, contractor, grading Mercer street, $427.24; street pay roll, sl3 25; Robison & Gillig. stone on Mercer street, $1,323.00, which were allowed. A resolution was then passed directing the city treasurer to file in the Adams circuit court a claim against the executors of the estate of B. H Dent, deceased, ex mayor, for money remaining in his hands due the city, to the amount of SB7 90, as the samefwas reported by a special com mittee. The marshal reported weeds cut down on and about a number of lots, and asked that a lien be created on them tor the pay for the same, which was by resolution ordered done. The bill of W. G. Robinson for $49 50 for extra work on culyerts on Mercer and Mud Pike streets, was disallowed. The bill of Marshal Fristoe for shooting dogs was disallowed, as was also his claim for cartridges for the purpose of shooting dogs. Whereupon he remarked that the dogs may live if there is no pay the killing of them, but some suggested that they could be smothered 10 death if they were permitted to smell the breath of some men. The statute relating to the fees of the mayor in cases tried before him was read when it seemed to be the duty of the mayor to turn over to the city treasurer all fees coming into his hands for cases tried before him, whether city or state. Where upon the mayor said that he would not hold any court if there was no fee in it for him. W. C. T?U. Notes. Miss Willard will attend the Catholic Total Abstinence society convention, which meets in Washington, August sth as a delegate. A convention of Catholic churches was held in Winona, Minn., week before last for the purpose of organizing a diocesan total abstinence union. The union em braces twenty counties. With an ex-ald-erman, ex-president and an attorney as secretary. It is hoped that the new union will popularize total abstinence among business men and politicians. An evil that calls loudly for reform is the paying of pensions into the hands of drinking men, who promptly hand it over to the saloons and themselves to bebauchery, while their families are compelled to shift as they can without the money that as much belongs to them as to the husband and father. How long must such injustice be tolerated by an enlightened community. A telegraphic dispatch of July 17, says: Nothing has recently excited the inner conservative circle so much as the declaration of Lord Salisbury the British prime minister, that woman suffrage ought to form a part of coming electoral reforms. The Boston Herald in commenting on the subject says: The intimation given that it may be desirable to extend suffrage to the women ot the United Kingdom looks forward to a change quite as radical in its character as any that Mr. Gladstone has proposed. * * If female suffrage, limited only by an educational test, which it seems, Lord Salisbuiy would lay down for male suffrage as well —is to be looked upon as a conservative measure, one is quite justified in asking what revolutionary change in the form of English government would come under the classification o f radical? It cannot be doubted that, if the English conservative party took up the cause of female suffrage, an impetus would be given to that agitation, not only in the United Kingdom, but in the countries ot western Europe,"and also particularly in the United States, such as it has never before received. Indeed, the admission by such an able statesman as the English Premier that the movement to grant to women the right to vote has come within the range of practical politics is an indorsement of it, the importance of which it would be difficult to over-estimate. If within the next few years a bill according the right to vote to women Is brought into the English Parliament and receives there a generous support, the cause of female suffrage in the United States will unquestionably obtain hundreds of thousands of adherents who would otherwise range themselves in the ranks of its opponents. In this respect, whether for good or ill, the measure which lord Salisbury outlines as good party policy wijl, If his advice is taken, become one ot the issues in our domestic politics, thus showing how small the world is, and how the proceedings of one country are influence by acta of another.
