Farmers’ Institute. The Adams County Farmers' Institute was held at Hocker’s hall, at Monroe, on Saturday, Aug. 22, 1891. President Luckey made the opening remarks, in which he stated that $5,000 had been appropriated by the state tor the purpose of paying speakers who attend the institutes. It was decided to hold an institutute two days, on the second Tuesday and Wednesday in November. 1892. The following committee ot arrangements were appointed: J. T. W. Luckey, G. H. Laughrev, A. A. Nichols, John Kramer, Sylvester Campbell, Mrs. J. C. Kramer, and Mrs. Henry Krick. After appointing the committee the exercises were opened by prayer by Rev. Harlo Mann. J._W. McKean delivered the wel come address after which the institute ad journed until one o’clock p. m. The afternoon session opened with music by the Monroe Cornet Band, which was followed by a song from the Monroe choir. i Sylvester Campbell then talked on the subject of “Sheep Raising,” in which he stated that he had seen the time when sheep were only fifty cents each, and were simply raised for the pelt and wool. After Mr. Campbell’s speech remarks were made by Messis. Beatty, Martz and others. Mr. Beatty then talked on the subject of “Hortoculture.” The “County Fair and the benefits derived thereirom,” was then discussed by G. H. Martz. He is in favor of organizing a fair association among the farmers. Henry Krick then followed with a few remarks upon the same subject. Methinks that the former fairs of Adams county have not been properly conducted. Mr. Beatty also made some remarks in regard to holding a county fair. Also remarks were made by Messrs. Luckey, Crmpbeli and others. “I low to Keep up the Fertility of the Soil,” was then taken up by Wm. Jackson, after which the subject was discussed by many of the members. The choir then sang “Success to the Jolly Did Farmer,” and a vote of thanks was tendered to the people of Monrot, and also to C. W. Hocker, for the use of the hall, when the institute adjourned. Everybody was well pleased with the work, and the speakers appreciated the large crowd in attendance. Discovered by the People. Many of the inventors and vendors of the various nostrums that are offered to the public to-day, only to disappear and be succeeded by something else to-morrow make the most sweeping and absurd claims for them. They are heralded as cure-alls, and it is no wonder that the public has become suspicious. The most remarkable fact in the history of S. S. S. (tor, unlike most other proprietary medicines, it has a history) is this: That a great many of its virtues have been discovered by the people themselves. It has never been advertised as a specific for skin cancer, and yet there are many testimonials going to show that S. S. S. will cure that dread disease. These testimonials are of such a character that there is no “going behind the returns.” Obituary. Mrs. Deborah (Gtim) Andrews, widow of Thomas Andrews, was born in Uriof county, Pa., October 20th, 1819, and died August 21, 1891, at the home of her son Jeremiah, in Washington township. She removed to Fairfield county, Ohio, in 1821 / and to Adams county, this state in 1839, and settled on what is known as the Grim prairie, where she lived with her parents until February 1840, when she was united in marriage to Thomas Andrews. To them was born twelve children, eight of whom are living. She united with the M- E, church in 1840, and remained a consistent member until her death. # * e The First Step.

Baking Powder

Beer Mugs Getting Small. Sadness pervades the spirits of the beer drinker and his pocketbook is getting lean. The beer glass is no longer a schooner. The eyolution of this interesting article has not been accompanied by any evolution in price, and although the schooner of yore has dwindled down to a big wineglass half full of froth, the price remains unchanged. Time was when the disciple of Bacchus could pay out five nickles for five schooners of beer, and thereby secure a mortgage on a moderately comfortable jag. But now, how things have changed! Since the small glasses have gone into effect he might plant down a dollar in cold nickels without even getting a “feeler.” The beer drinker’s loss becomes the liquor dealer’s gain. Each of the small kegs of beer, known as quarters, contain 150 schooners. Estimating that the glasses now in vogue contain one eighth less quantity (the schooners were thick after all), the saloonkeeper saves 18 glasses out of each keg. These iS glasses net him an additional profit of 90 cents on each keg. The man who drinks beer and who would as soon think of going without his dinner as his favorite beverage, protests forcibly against reducing quantity without reducing price and terms it an imposition on his stomach as well as his pocketbook. Just what action he will take, or whether he take any at all, remains to be seen. It is an open question as to whether he can do without his beer longer than the saloonkeeper can do without his patronage or vice versa. On the dead quiet, it looks as though the saloonkeeper had the cinch how to Succeed. 1 his is the great problem of life which few satisfactorily solve. Some fail because of poor health, others want of luck, but the majority from deficient grit—want of nerve. They are nervous, irresolute> changeable, easily get the blues and take the spirits down to keep the spirits up> thus wasting money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great specialist, Dr. Miles, to cure all nervous diseases, as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, neural gia, St. Vitus dance, fits, and hysteria.

Physicians make no more fatal mistake than when they inform patients that nervous heart troubles come from 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 uncqualed New Heart Cure, which has the largest sale of any heart remedy in the world. It cures nervous and organic heart disease short breath, fluttering, pain or tenderness in the side, arm or shoulder, irregular pulse, fainting, smothering, dropsy, etc. His Restorative Nervine cures headache, fits, etc. Letter List.

Mrs. Cougar on the Tariff. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, the noted woman lecturer, was at Chicago recently" and in an interview, among other things: had the following to say about the tariff, “The claim of the Republican party that . the high tariff, as arranged by the McKinley bill aa a help to laboring men, is a glaring fraud. I have just returned from a trip through the coke and iron regions of Pennsylvania, where the strikes are going on. At Scranton, the amalgamated iron workers are on a strike for higher wages, but the employes simply go over to New York and hire men from the army of foieigners that are pouring into Castle Garden. They can do this easily enough, because the immigration to this country has increased one-third since the passage ot the McKinley bill. The foreigners work tor low wages and the Scranton workmen are left to starve. Mr. Carnegie, you remember, was one of the loud mouthed Republicans who claimed that high tariff would increase the wages ot the workingman. Yet Mr. Carnegie was one of the first manufacturers to cut down the wages of his own men 20 per cent, after the McKinley bill was passed. The report of Secretary Evarts of New York, a- Republican, shows that the wages in free trade England are 23 per cent, better than in high tariff Germany. And Germany sends to America one third more emigrants seeking higher wages than England sends to us; although there are 400 people to the square mile in England and only 192 people to the square mile in Germany. These are cold facts on which long arguments can be made for free trade.” Rheumatism Can be Lured. Al hough 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 with the Syiup. Sold by W. H. Nachtrieb' druggis". 28-* W. C. T. U. Notes. The Misses Moore, of Huntington, who are the guests of Mrs. Frank Mann, ol this city, were present at the meeting of our union last Saturday. Visitors from other unions are always welcome. The Georgia legislature is investigating the effects ot smoking cigarettes and has received opinions from physicians all over the state. Judging from these there must be many brains growing very soft, unless as one physician wrote, the softening took place before any one began smoking them. This physician could not give an opinion as to the effect on the brain, as he had never seen any one with brains smoke a cigarette. Scientific temperance instruction, is a remedy peaceable, philosophical, radical, far-reaching. It trenches on no man’s rights, prescribes no man’s business, confiscates no man’s property, dictates no man’s habits, restricts no man’s liberty. It appeals only to the power of truth. It is the echo of God’s primordial decree. “Let there be light.’— Hon, Byron McCutcheon. The American public school system is the inevitable corollary of the American Declaration of independence. Popular education must accompany popular suffrage or Republican government is a failure. This education must make not only intelligent men, but moral, law-abiding citizens. It must forewarn and thus forearm against the foes of good citizenship. Intemperance antagonizes good citizenship; the public schools are therefore by their very nature bound to guard the future citizen against it. Because its basis character this argument holds equally in states without scientific temeprance laws and in those having such legislation. In view of these facts will not each teacher adopt the motto, “I am, I can, I ought, I will?” lam a public school teacher; I can guard my pupils from impending evil. I am, I will.—Mary Allen West.
