The Great Through Car Line. It is a well established fact that the North-Western Line (Chicago & NorthWestern R’y) in its equipment and train service, its general facilities for the accommodation of all classes of travel, and its methods of looking after the comfort and welfare of its patrons, takes rank with the leading railways of the world. Its through car lines extend from Chicago to St. Paul and Minneapolis, the “Twin Cities of the North west;” to ftuluth, the Superiors, Ashland, Marquette and the wonderful iron and copper regions of northern Wisconsin and Michigan: to Winona, Pierre, and the rich agricultural sections of Minnesota and the Dakotas; to Des Moines, Sioux- City, Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, the prosperous and growing cltlibof lowa and Nebraska; to Deadwood, the Dakota Hot Springs, and the famous mining districts of the Black Hills; to Colorado , and Utah; to San Francisco, Cal.; Portland, Oregon, and Pacific Coast and Puget Sound points. - -The • perfectly equipped * vestibuled trains of the North-Western Line convey the traveler comfortably, safely and quickly to nearly" evsry part of the West and North-west, and while one may travel surrounded by all of the luxuries afforded by an equipment of magnificent sleeping cars, buffet smoking and library cars, compartment sleeping cars, the superb dining cars, the comfort and convenience of passengers desiring to travel at small expense is promoted by the provision of accommodation for their use in Tourist Sleeping Cars, Free Reclining Chair Cars and commodious day coaches. In a word, if you contemplate a trip to almost any portion of the West and North-west your ticket should read via North-Western Line- Maps, time tables and general information) can be obtained of ticket agents in the United States and Canada, or by addressing W. A. Thrall, General Passeuger and Ticket Agent, Chicago & North-West-ern R’y, Do you Fish? ager Bros. ,s the place to buy your |ackle. From November 15th, to January Ist, 1894, Ehinger & Meyers will give a gold plated watch chain with every S2O wftMh of >goeds purchased from them. j A short time ago we printed sale bills 4or John W. Dague, of Bluecreek townI gM‘p who bad up his wind thiUr So he dropped into Colorado, stayed a few days and Oh! he sighed for “Iloosierdom.” On last Wednesday he with his family arrived here, none the worse for the trip. J. Bart Shirey, of Fort Wayne visited with relatives and friends here over Sunday. Bart first juggled type in this office when the late Joe McGonnigle was at the helm, and if the ‘inducement” would not be too expensive would like to see him return to bis first love. Bluecreek township, comes to the front with a new manner of piercing the ear. Ruben Clark is the master of the new process Having been annoyed by his neighbor’s ducks be got into an altercation with a party by the name of Roe, who bad come after his ducks. After some loud talk Roe started home; Clark thinking lie needed ,a starter, fired at him with a shot gun, making a hole for an ear-ring in bis right ear. The greatest cut in pries in all the city is at D. M. Hensley’s jewelry store. We intend to meet the demand of the hard times. We don’t only say so but will truly do so in everything in our line. Call and select your presents and have them laid away for you until Christmas, and have the first selection from a fresli stock. Don’t forget the place. D V M. Hensley. 33tf The Blacksmith shopof Buhler Bro’s., on Jefferson street, was entered some time last week and tools such as would answer tho purpose of an amateur burglar were taken, consisting of a 7pound sledge, drills, saw, files, wrenches hammers, everything that would be of benefit to enter almost, any house or safe with. The loss was not discovered until last Saturday. Should any of the several towns in the county suffer from burglarized houses, the start may probably be retraced to thestealing of these tools. , Some people are more ready to “take care” of other people's busines than they are of their own; no matter what that business is We understand that a certain saloon man in the city not more than a cats-jump from this office has for the past two months been forecasting changes in the mechanical department of the Democ rat office, besides using his “influence” in trying to get business men to buy printing presses and do their own job work but which never materialize. For the benefit of the aforesaid saloon man we would intimate that if he attend strict-, ly to the vending of the goods in his line according to the Statutes of Indiana he will have enough to attend to and 1 the patronage of the Democrat will 1 not be diminished in the least by the change.

It is made to run so many chews to the mouth, the defect to be overcome yet by the patentee is the number of chews that some mouths run to the plug, then add a place for the spittle, and he will baa benefactor to suffering humanity.

He was born in Preble county, Ohio, in | October 5,1828, and came to Elkhart, j Indiana, in 1836. He lias been engaged : in the newspaper business ever since he arrived to the age of manhood, and has had charge of the Goshen Democrat ■ since 1860.

The Democrat has frequently warned our citizens to beware of ■ crooks wife are continually defrauding unsuspecting ones. Last week not a few of our citizens were “taken in,” in a mild way .by. two strangers, a man ; and a woman who claimed to represent I a large photograph firm, They were j soliciting orders from'persons who wished to get a picture enlarged. The samples they carried were good and they claimed that their work was equal in every respect to the samples. As a guarantee of good faith on the part of the person giving the order one dollar had to be paid in advance. The agent . left a card which guaranteed the work, but hereafter that precious card which cost one dollar will only remind the holder that he or she has only been gulled out of one hundred cents. Last Friday Sheriff Clausmeyer of Fort Wayne arrested a man who was working the same game in one of the several towns in Allen county. An investigation showed him to be a swindler. If our citizens had been on the alert these crooks would have had poor grazing.
