Winchester, Ind., September 29.— This week’s number of the Winchester Democrat contained its own obituary. The chief mourner (the editor) did not gratify the public enough to even give the cause of its demise, but simply announced that it was dead and that the plant would be moved to Decatur, Ind. This leaves the Democratic party of Randolph without a medium through which to proclaim the gospel of Democracy. The Democrat, when purchased by the late management, was a thriving, wideawake, money-making sheet, with 1,600 subscribers and a good paying advertising list, but for many reasons the paper has not been doing as well as formerly. There is a No. 1 opening in Randolph for a good, live. “Simon pure’’ democratic paper.—lndianapolis Sentinel. GREAT BICYCLE RACE. First Annual Beatty Handicap Road Race.

Something for the Calamity Howlers to Read. The Gem Window Glass Works went into blast yesterday morning. The works were to have started Saturday, but didn’t. A very nice start was made yesterday morning, however and things are going in good shape. The Ohio Flint is increasing its capacity as rapidly as possible. are good and the second furnace will go into blast in a short time. The second or upper bottle factory of Maying, Hart & Co., will go into blast next Monday, which will double the present capacity. Orders are fair. It is understood that the Cole factory will go in between the Ist and sth of next month. it is also understood that work will begin on the new car shops plant about the Ist of October. With all the factories in full blast, the car shops building and the water works construction, Dunkirk ought to ! be in good shape for the fall and winter. Every citizen of Dunkirk should I congratulate himself on the bright outlook.—Dunkirk Observer. Such is the case the United States over. It is sound argument. A VIPER. Jonathan Bowers, of Kirkland town - ship took care of a_joung man who came to his house a few days after the John Robinson's show was here, saying that he had been with the show, but concluded to quit and work on a farm. He stayecbthere and w orked a little until Wednesday night sometime, when he left without saying anything to the family, but they have cause to recollect him. Mr. Bowers’ pocketbook with about S2OO worth of notes was missing with other valuable- papers, while his sou’s pockets had been rilled of the contents, which most likely was the one that furnished the filthy lucre for the viper they bad taken to their home. As the young man refused to be interviewed on tfie subject, he is known to have collected about sixty dollars that day and the supposition is that the thief got away with that amount for him. He is a young smooth face looking man and left there dressed rather poorly, having on blue overalls. Com is' men and save money.

THIEVES AT WORK AGAIN. Sunday night about ten o’clock some party or parties attempted to enter by the rear door of Miss Alice Wand’s millinery shop. Miss Wand and one of her clerks occupy the upper rooms and were disturbed by the noise made by the thieves. They arose, dressed and went down to the store room, which frightened them away. Miss Wand and clerk then took the money she had on hand deposited where it would be safe. About two o’clock they were again disturbed They had extin ' guished the light, but had not retired, amias soon as they were again heard trying the door, the room was lighted up wjiich frightened them away.

Harper Burk, a young map about 21 years of age, a resident of Wabash township and a son of William Burk, one of Jay county's most respected citizens. They had attended the Jay county fiJir yesterday and he started to visit the fair, aghin today. When about two miles this side of Portland he came up with a two-horse wagon which he attempted to pass, and in so doing, his horse became frightened so that he was unable to manage him. In running away he struck a ditch, upsetting the buggy, throwing Burk out against a stump, striking on his heacf and russhing h.s skull so that his brains oozed out. He was one of the prmising young men of Jay county. His rematns were taken to his parenis near New Corydon. Go to D M. Hensley, select your presents for Xmas.

SCHOOL NOTES. ( After a long lapse the School Notes appear once more, and we hope to give ( to readers something as to the trend of . educational affairs in our own locality. There Will perhaps be another teacher added to our already large corps of efficient workers as some of the lower grades are entirely too full to enable teachers to accomplish the best results. Another Ward building is needed. Thus does Decatur grow. A large number of new seats are being put in the Central building which makes the rooms much more convenient and attractive. It is a common remark that the schools have never before moved more smoothly than have they thus far in the year of ’94. May such be the saying a]l through the year. Teachers meetings every Monday evening at 4:30. Thompson’s “Philosophy of Teaching” is being studied at present. The number of pupils still increase. The schools were dismissed “show day.” The treat was thoroughly enjoyed by both teachers and Ipupils, as those instructors who were not guilty of going to tho circus were “accessories before the the fact” by attending the parade. The proposed pennmanship and drawing department has fallen into “inocuous desuetude” and an additional teacher in high school has been secured Mr. Walters who was to teach the new department is located in room 3d, 2nd Ward. B. P. Winans, Supt. of Geneva, was in Decatur among friends Saturday and Sunday, We are pleased to see G. W. A. Luckey, formerly four years superintendent of Decatur schools, with us again. He has recently graduated from Leland Stanford Uniuersity. and now has a senior Fellowship in Clark University in* Worcester, Mass., where he will bury.liimself in study one year more. JournailMiu.a. Gold Mino. A retired newspaper man gives this philosophical reason for quitting the business: “A child is born, the doctor in attendance gets $lO, the editor notes it and gets 0; it is christened, the minister gets $4, the editor writes it up, and gets 00; it marries, the minister gets another fee, the editor gets a piece of cake or 000; in a course of time it dies, the doctor gets from $5 to $lO. the minister gets another $4, the undertaker gets from $25 to 140, tlie editor prints it and receives 0000; and then the privilege of running free of charge a card of thanks.” * A. Holtbouse warrants ever pair of school shoes to be solid leather, and sells them from 10 to 16 per cent, less than any other house in the city. d!4l-6wJ7-4 7

Something to Think About. s I Two questions have forced themselves B i into the foreground within the last j | two months, and undoubtedly some of the readers of the Democra t have asked themselves these self-same questions. These questions are somewhat like the following: • “How can I best punish the Democratic r party for taking up so much time in fortnu--8 lating the tariff law?” “Is there anything . in the platform of the Populist party that . could induce me as a Democrat and an adherent to Democratic doctrines to leave this . party and cast my lot with the Populist j party?” It is true, one may feel a little out of sorts that after voting for Cleveland in 1892 and having received a promise that the tariff 3 should be speedily re-adjusted, the high 3 protective should be done away with, etc., s and after two years he finds that this proffiC ise ha'fc only partly been kept; these people ma»Ju their wrath come to the conclusion Ito vfilffirthe very same party that nourishes ffid fosters the robbery system. But if these people will only think soberly about the matter, they will find that simple satisfaction of retaliation is a bad business in ■ politics, and will eventually fall back on ’ themselves. In the second place, if they will only look ! over the field of the doings of the last . House of Representatives and keep cool about it, they will And that the members of , this branch of Congress at once responded to the wish of the people in adopting a tariff bill in accordance with the promises of the 1 adopted Democratic platform. In the • Senate is where the opposition arose. Op- • position not only by Republican members i but an opposition also by some so-called i Democratic members. And those were the parties that kept up the state of affairs for months (and the sooner these protectionist Democrats join the Republican party the better it will be.) It is the duty of the Democratic party to drive out such protection Democrats into the ranks of the protections Republican party, or to relegate them to private life. If this is not done the work begun in 1890 ami continued in 1892 can never be accomplished. This can not be done by the Populist party even if they should be able to elect their ticket Hiis tall. The leaders of this party ridicule the tariff question as the principle question before- the people. Some of them, like Kolb, of Alabama, are protectionlsts of the purest water and the Populistic Senators Peffer and Allen, have shown by their late actions that they lean over to that side. TO THE PUBLIC. Some people in Decatur say that the Uncle Hiram Co. cannot produce the train of cars 300 ft. long on the Decatur opera bouse stage. Now they agree in the contract to produce this engine and train of cars on our stage or return ydur money at the box office. They also Kse to produce the saw mill scene. s is without doubt the largest scenic production of its kind that has ever i visited Decatur and everyone should ' turn out and give them a good bouse, Falk & Erwin, i SfeOt Si
