Office in Democrat Building, east eideof Sec ond Street— ground floor A Western man for 181M5, CLAUDE MATTHEWS. THE BUSINESS BOOM. The Singer Sewing Machine works, at South Bend, employing 300 operatives, resumed operations last Monday morning* There was also a resumption of work in all the departments of the Studabaker wagon manufactory, employing 1,000 men. The Northern Ohio Woolen mills have been put on double turn and have orders enough booked to keep the mills running full handed night and day for the next year. Three hundred persons are employed. Last year the mills were operated unsteadily. Free wool is given by the proprietors as the cause of the prosperity. They say placing wool on the free list was the hardest blow France and England ever got from this country. “It means that we will make our own woolen goods. A few days ago I bought scoured delivered in Cleveland at 27 cents per pound. Farmers cannot keep sheep at that rate. We must get the wool from countries where it is produced most cheaply. We eent a sample of our cloth with prices to a New York importing firm some time ago, and at once received an order for the entire production of our works. Two English experts who examined the goods and prices said that the cloth could be sold at a profit at Bradford England. To the Farmer. ■ - I The farmer that expects to make a success with sheep should not get discouraged because—the present price is not as good as in some years just past. An over production, with other causes well known to all, greatly diminished the price of wool and sheep, and as a consequence very many farmers have disposed of all their sheep and are preparing to give their attention to some other stock. Right here is where you are making a great mistake. After many years of experience in raising sheep I have always found them to be the best paying stock, all things considered, that a farmer could keep on his farm, either at high or low figures, and the farmer makes a great mistake when he disposes of his stock at present prices. Now is the time to buy, when stock is low, and-in less than two years you will receive the best profit from your sheep you have had for the last three years. The lamb product from a good flock of well bred sheep, if managed with care and time, so as to have that crop in time for the early spring market, will far exceed your profits on all other kindsof stock’the farmer raises. So look •well to your interests, and buy when ’stock is low, and sell when high is the maxim of success with the stock farmer. More Anon. a~~ - . MONROE. 9 • . Monroe is booming with timber, corn and hogs. Sheriff Ashbaucher is a frequent visitor at this place. Harlow Mann and David Studebaker were here last Wednesday. The Owl Club donated quite a sum of money to the saint preacher. Grandma Walton is no better.

she is in a very precarious condition. Misses Frank Thompson and Millie Reynolds went to Berne last Wednesday. Miss Millie Reynolds, of Decatur, is visiting with Miss Frank Thompson, this week. Mrs. Howard T h unpson, who has been in Ohio visiting friends, returned home last Monday. Dan Urick butchered a hog last week that weighed about 700 pounds. Dan always has plenty of that kind of stock. Mrs. Daniel Roop, of Pleasant Mills, known among her acquaint ances as Sadie Roop, is visiting friends here this week. John Everhart killed a very large, cunning fox last Tuesday; it was not punning enough for John’s breech loader, however. There is a fine opening for some one to make money at Monroe, m a butcher's shop; provided beel and sausage were kept on hand. Mrs. Nicholas Wagner while on her way home from church last Monday night, fell and sprained her ankle. She had to be carried home. The saints are still in Monroe, and will continue to remain and hammer away at the sinners unto repentance, if possible. The hall is filled every night. Ourfrieud W. Fred Hofer, formerly of Berne, but now of Colo rado Springs, Colo., has not forgotten us. We received a complete report of the agricultural and mineral products of Colorado from him last week. Another scheme has struck Mon roe. Joseph Hocker proposes to grind or chop feed for the farmers and others, by the force of wind. The derrick and windy machinery are in place a:-id the mill adjusted and is about ready for the work intended. Joe’s aspirations are high enough and we think the thing is a success, provided the stuff to be annihilated will come in, and winds are high. He will have to pray the King of the Winds to aid him often. Some fellow said Joe conld pray all right, if he would leave pol itics out. Now, farmers, if you want your grain chopped, please watch, the predictions of Hicks and come on the windy days. If you are compelled to come to mill sooner, bring all the wind you can, as Monroe is scarce of wind at times, especially when Dan Urick, Howard Thompson and Van Simcoke are ont of town. We imagine a fellow sitting on his wagon, waiting for wind, and singing, “Blow ye winds of morning, Blow ye high low.” An Old Soldier’s Recommendation. In the late war I was a soldier in the First Maryland Volunteers, Company G. During my term of service I contracted chronic diarrhoea. Since then I used a great amount of medicine, but when I found any that would give me relief it would injure my stomach, until Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was brought to my notice. T used it and will say it is the only remedy that gave me permanent relief and no bad results follow. 1 take pleasure in recommending this preparation to my old comrades, who, while giving their services to their country, contracted this dreadful disease as 1 did, from eating unwholesome and uncooked food. Yours, truly, A. E. Bending, Halsey, Oregon. For sale by Blackburn & Miller, Druggists. j STEELE. Amos Danner was at Berne last Monday on business. Protracted meeting is now in progress at Pleasant Valley and Prarie. ; The infant child of A. B. Baughman has been quite ill for some days past; Z _ Miss Ella Kelley was compelled to leave A. B. Baughman’s on account of sudden illness. Gary Mercer was called home last Monday to help wait upon William Harper who is quite ill at present. Miss Mary E. Merriman, who has been residing in Decatur for some time past, has returned home to stay a few weeks. The recent and copious snow fall matters quite promising for those pleasure-loving young folks who delight in.,,sleigh riding. John Longenberger will move his ( saw mill from this place to French township where he expects to operate it during the next few weeks.

The Epworth literary which was to be held on last Saturday evening 6ut was posponed on account of the inclemency of the weather will be held on next Saturday evening. Rolla Calderwood and cousin, Mr. Studabaker, from Chicago, were the welcome geests of Washington Calderwood last Tuesday. Mr. Calderwood has not seen his uncle for twenty years. John Hamrfr'k and Frank Meyers have been taken into custody by the officials of the Leisure Club for neglect of duty on last; Monday evening, and as they have previous ly proved themselves to be very staunch members, we hope they will be acquitted. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is famous foi its cures of bad colds. It opens the secretions, relieves the lungs and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. If freely used as soon as the cold has been contracted, and beforfe it has become settled in the systehi, it greatly Jessens the severity of the attack and has often cured in a single day what would have been a severe cold, Sold by Blackburn & Miller.

Plank, Joe Wat kins and Ezra Steele were at Decatur on business last Monday. The elavator at Curryville is a sure go. We are not like the Craigville people, who purchased the timber for an elavator and then sawed it up into railroad ties. We see in the Magley items that he people of that wicked town are about to build a church. It will be built on wind like all of the other enterprises there, unless the German people build it for them. Some time ago Mr. Simon Goldbanm, of San Luis Rey, Cal, was troubled with a lame backhand rheumatism. He used Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and a prompt cure was effected. He says he has since advised many of his’friends to try it and all who have done so have spoken highly of it. It is for-sale by Blackburn & Miller, Druggists. j • MONMOUTH No. 2.

For a downright, jolly good time come to Monmouth any time in the year. In the summer it is base ball; in the winter it is teachers’s institute, Epworth League, Christian Endeavor, pedro, seven out, checkers, crokonole, or an oldfashioned breakdown dance. "Nobody barred, no difference how old of hots young, or previous condition in life— Saturday, January 12, was a gala day for Monmouth. As announced last week the teachers of Root township, with Trustee Brown, met m institute. The program furnished was a good one and was followed to the letter. The teachers of the township, nine in number, were all present,' and each one had thoroughly prepared for the subject assigned them. W- A. Fanner, who had the honor of having the

institute in his school, had proposed to entertain the patrons and teaoheas who attended in a manner that was creditable to himself and scholars. At noon a sumptuous dinner was spread, and wae enjoyed by fully one hundred good, hearty feeders. After dinner there was speeches by the little folks and aing- , ing by the school; music by the Scbeferstine* and Roy Wolford string band, after which the regular institute work was taken up and finished. •L.

Quite an interesting program was disposed of and all went home thinking it it was good to have been present. The next institute Will be held in Dist. No. 2. \ Old People. • Old people who require medicine to regulate bowels and kidneys will find the true remedy in Electric Bitters. This medicine does not stimulate and contains no whiskey nor other intoxicant, but acts as a tonic and alterative. It acts mildly on the stomach and bowels, adding strength and giving tone to the organs, thereby aiding Nature in the performance of the functions. Electric Bitters is an excellent appetizer and aids digdstion. Old People find it just exactly what they need. Price fifty cents per bottle at Blackburn’s & Miner’s Drug Store: Would it not be a proper move for the City Marshal to put a check against the children jumping on sleds or sleighs when people are driving along the street? One boy came near losing his life by being thrown, from a sled. An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure. This should be a warning to them. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City 111., was told by her doctors she had consumption and that.there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result every thing else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cu red. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wondereul efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at Blackburn & Miller’s Drug Store. (Successors to A. R. Pierce.) Regular size 50c. and 11.00. Newspaper men always know more than they write; they always shield more than they expose; they are always more merciful than cruel. The man who trusts a newspaper man may rely on the fact that he will be treated fairly.lt is the mean, contemptible, suspicious hypocrite that the newspapers are always after- Imo manly man was ever hurt by a newspaper. And no man is quicker to see the manner of man one is than the newspaper man who studies men and their actions day unto day. , PLEASANT MILLS.

night. Our peaceful citizens were aroused and disturbed by their racing back and forth through the' streets yelling and using profane language. We judge by their tone and make up they represented all parts of the gio. e. Our authorities will look after them in the future if they ever return. Card of Thanks.

The Pioneer Mill is doing an extraordinary business, requiring both day and night to meet the demand.

The first grade took pleasure in visiting school No. 6, taught by Miss Minnie while the second and third grades headed their drivers for Berne to pay their respects to the excellent schools of the German city. That all enjoyed themselves simply belongs to such occasions. The Hartford’s well, No. 5, has settled down and is pumping sixty barrels per day. The stobk of the company is daily advancing.

Fiwill, within the next ten days be square with the world and the rest of mankind. To Track Burglars. Burglars, chicken thieves and footpads had better give Van Buren a wide berth after this. The recent numerous burglaries committed there and at Landessville has aroused the ire of the merchants, and they have formed a stock company for the purpose of purchasing bloodhounds to track thieves and burglars- Two hundred dollars has been raised this week, and Matt Doyle was named as keeper of the dogs. The animals were telegraphed for today, and it is expected they will arrive by the first of the coming week, when the whole population will eagerly await the occurrence of a burglary so that they can test the ability of their new purchase. They, have styled the company the Van Buren Bloodhound Association. The dogs will be at the disposal of the officers of the law in search of other criminals.-‘•Marion Chronicle.
