Linn Grove Items* MStaiso Frederick Hoffman was at Decatar on vionday and Tuesday. Jacob North, of Bluffton, and John Shear, of Geneva, were here on businesCuesday. P. Hoffman and wife and Jacob Nortl md wife, of Bluffton, were guests of Mr* Mary French on last Sabbath. John Hall, south of town is buildi '.g » barn. Also John G. Adler and Andre* Schlagenhauf are egch building addition* to their stables in town. Items are scarce and time is preciou* yet the Democrat is a welcome visito* to thousands of readers as is verified to us by, letters from various parts of our vast and celebrated county. Owing to the marriage of John Mesi berger it has been rumored that resolutions of indignation will be passed at the next meeting of the Batchelors lodge, on account of losing so valuable a member as John was. • Frederick Neaderhouser is constructing g ravel walks in and about his lot. Ti e later is being continued along the school grounds and when completed will ado much to the improvement of that part of the town. Dr. J. W. Keckler is lying very ill at the residence of Emanuel Ledy, of thi. place. Also Simeon Reisin at his residence west of Linn Grove. The latter is reported as being very low. Typhoid feyer is the ailment in each case. The marriage nuptials of Mr. John Meschberger and Miss Caroline Baum* gartner were celebrated at the residence jf the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Baumgartner, on Thursday evening of last week. Rev. J. H. Evans being master of ceremonies the bride and groom were the recipients of numerous useful presents by invited friends. The following day the couple took the train to Ellwood, Ind., and were the guests of Levi Baumgartner and family. May pleasantness and prosperity precede the route they have chosen. Schindler & Ensley are building an exte.isive ana substantial uuiu lor their new jaarry that will be opened next spring. It will be constiucted on the bottom of theh present quarry and about eight feet east of the banks ot the same, which will st ve Libor and much time in starting the lasers, and also will make a storage for the seepage of water, thus saye much pump i.ig. The dam will be some three hundred feet long and seventeen feet high, tae base sills eight feet. The structure will contain more timber than would tak to construct a bank barn and costs mon money. In order that our staten.ent in the Democrat a few lew weeks ago may be more comprehensive we will state tl at toe word “or” was left out by the printer between the words, one-third and moie, which would make it read that our assessment of lands was one-third or more of the value of the realty within the corporate limits of Decatur. Also one error of our’s occurred where we stated that the appraised value of Berne was nearly equal to the valuation of Decatur, while, in fact Berne’s assessment foots up $84.16 By permission we here append the acreage 01 some of our towns and the value per acre of the same. Decatur is said to have 227 acres, assessed value per acre, $82.90; Berne 380 acres, value per acre, $65.32; Geneva 144 acres, value per acre, $37.43; Buena Vista 10 acres, value per acre $570. Thus it will be noticed that if more of Decatur was on the ground instead as suposition would lead of being suspended in mid air, her valuation per acre would be lower than either of the towns mentioned? regardless of her supporting three railroads, while Berne and Geneva enjoys but one. But the clinch is on Buena Vista, a little hamlet scarcely known outside the county, save by a commercial drum mer or a seeker for office. Her lands are worth six hundred dollars per acre, and located five miles from any railroad, The 1 mysteries have now been solved why Notingbam and other townships on the proposed line of the C.N.C.&C.R.'k., voted down their aid, We also find that Buena Vista is not quite poverty stricken in her Improvement, as the improvement on one lot here was valued at S2OOO by the appraiser which amount is nearly one-halt of the total appraised value of Improvements of the city of Decatur entire, and now since Berne is in advance of our count/ seat in wealth, ihen let us suppo-e also, that she is ahead of her in population 1 and if this can k# confirmed then the time is coming when the time ,7* day can be noted from the tower of the Adams .qoun ty court house at Berne, as the south part of the county will beat the north at the polls for supremacy. However, we would 1 rather prefer Buena ¥|sta for the temple 1 where justice is sometimes administered, but her land is worth six hundred dollars 1 per acre, to for the sake of economy we cast our mite to ths namesake of the capi tol of Switzerland, and »t gayly d awn of the day when this shall take plium* we will have arisen and gone forth to the con , filet ar.d should we fail then and there in doing our duty, then there will be no , nwrp cocked guns seen in time of war. tfpDo Items. F. D. Beall Is home on • short vacation visiting relatives. The F. M. B. A. met at the school house last Saturday night. Rev. Foster preaches at Mt. Tabor next Sunday after Sunday school.

Cowan & Smith, our enterprising mil.* ing merchants, are talking of putting in a new roller process in a short time, and then they will have the finest mill in the state. Success to the b<ys for their enterprise. A wonderful wreck and great loss of property and nobody hurt.

All members and those desiring to become membeis are requested to be present. An absurd falsehood, manufactured out of whole cloth, probably from political causes was circulated to some extent in our city pn last Monday to the effect that the W. C. T- U- owners of the temperance temple of Chicago had rented two ot their 1 ooms of the temple for saloons. Colonel -Woofiferd made some remarks upon the subject Monday night which it is likely somewhat impeded in subsequent circulation. _____ they must be pOt away. Two debasing physical habits drag down to the earth the captive souls ot men “here ip the body pent,” and form a two fold cord with which to bind them to the char iot wheels of self indulgence, that hjdeous Caliban. These are intemperance #nd impurity, both Os them “fleshy Justs that war aga nst the § -uj.” Each of these habits is a relentltas fix* tp manhood’s purity and woman’s peace. Each is a seperate iury, the sworn eaemy of home, the Nemesis 01 every little child, saddling it from birth with a load of deterioration, or stinging it with th? lash of depravity. These two must alt be put gjygy before men and women can live in one wcukl, Q hfist’s text book of the New Testament be the law of the realm, and His kingdom come op earth.—Selected.

'"“‘■"■lff, 1 !'” VICTORY! fl w • fl flflr Wy Wl kk all 1 The;Electtons. % Elections were held last Tuesday, in eleven states, but national interest centerdin five of them, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and lowa, The returns, at this writing, have enough in them to give cheer to I'emocratic hearts for they indicate the triumph of the party of the people in New York, Maryland and the Republican strongholds of lowa and Massabhusetts. Ohio and Pennsylvania have gone Republican. Governor Campbell made a brilliant fight in Ohio, but he wu fouggt by a faction of his owu party in Cincinnati on local issues an< this handicapped him during the whol ■ Honduras items. The schools of No. 5 and 6 closed last Friday for the fall term. The residence of Wm. Fulk Will be c impleted at an early date. Honduras is on the boom. The hoep shavers are working in full force.

Look oui town people, chestnuts are getting cheap. TAKEN IN BY SHARPERS. St. Paul, November 2.—several sharppers calling themselves members of the Chicago Purchasing Company, have been operating in Rice county, Minn., the past few a thriving business by swindling the far mers. They traverse the county with some person who is posted as to the standing and responsibility of the farmers Alter being introduced they of- . fer to sell goods at wholesale prices charg P JflgTarmers only $5 as the initiatory fee, which makes the farmer a member of said company, rpd then proceed to show how : the farmer is cheated by the local dealer and assure him he can save 50 per cent ' by sending orders to the purchasing agency They then send goods which they represent to be worth $125 at retail and close -up with the farmer for $5 cash, his initiatory tee, and his note tor SBO. The goods 1 are found to be worth only about S4O. They cifrry samples of pure granulated sugar, which they claim to supply at the rate of twenty-six pounds for one dollar, byt receive no orders, letting thp farmer order from headquarters. A number ot the farmers in the southwestern part of the state have been victimized and robbed of hundreds of dollars. RneMmailatn can be.Lurea.

CHEATING HORSE Blankets Nearly every pattern of Horse B/anket is imitated in color and style. Jn fjost eases the imitation looks j’ust as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the. warp threads, and so lacks strength, and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn’t worth one-htflf as much.
