Charley Hocker, school teacher of Hartford township, spent Sunday with his par-’ ents. George Richards who had his foot /broken a few weeks ago, is able to 'S. be around. Attorneys Cotteral, Ford and McCain, were the legal advisors in the replevin suit of Andrews against Carter last Monday in the Monroo court. Miss Bessie Congleton, of Decatur, was here Friday of last week trying to secure a summer school. We think the idea a good ”♦ one. John Hocker and Ed Macj- prepared their bicycles last Thursday week and arrived at Fort Wayne in two bouts from the time they left Monroe. They traveled 00 mi'es in four hours and 20 minutes, and we will wager that they can make 100 miles in four hours. A special leave of absence from Monroe and vicinity is granted by some unknown power to many of our citizens to visit Decatur and Berne for the purpose of purchasing their groceries and dry goods. What motive they have other than to see and be seen, we can’t understand.-, Cost of time going and coming over runs the profit, we say patronize home, build up your town, where you receive your mail, for every improvement in Monroe adds to the wealth of your homes, goods can be sold as cheap or cheaper than elsewhere. Flaming posters and bills from abroad with low prices on them is one motive no doubt. Thanks to Fred Hoffer, ot Colorado ’ Nprings, Col., for the Rock Mountain News, a paper published in Denver, Col. The paper Is chuck full of 'silver speeches. C. W. Hocker received the same compliments. We feel grateful to the Colorado gentleman the papers giving us the particulars of i, * Free silver. Free or not free, we could use a ton of the blessed stuff if we had It. The clan arfrelatter of ’ last 1 week at Mqnroe was horrible to hear. Horns, pans bells guns, and whistles were all brought into requlsion commingled with yells and screechings of the host of friends of Miss Myrtle Numbers.'who had been united in marriage with Mr. Bernard Harris, of Berne. The boys received the cigars and ail were happy. j Mrs. Myrtis Harris nee Numbers moved /all her household effects last Wednesday to , Vjjer future home in Beyie, bidding farewell to Monroe, where she has lived for several years. She will be missed at the district school room, also her seat will be vacant In the Monroe Sunday school, the congregation at our village church will miss her, her friends will miss her in their society, . yet, with all that, she will not cease to do kJK, good even in Germany. While it Is Mon- / roe’s loss, It is Berne’s eternal gain. ‘ SO Dozen heavy weight KNEE PANTS at 25 Cents per pair at Ike < Rosenthal's stf

LINN GROVE. Eli Bierle has sold his interest in the meat market of Bierie & Fahrney to the latter who will supply the customers at the old stand. Mrs. John Hirschy and Mrs. Augsberger returned Saturday from Livingston county, Illinois, where they were visiting a daughter and sister. Joseph Saylor, of Miami county, Ind., is visiting with friends here. With great pride he showed us a pocket knife in good preservation that be purchased of us thirty years ngo when a resident of this community. Through perhaps au oversight in making up the forms, the report of the commencment exercises of our graduating class were not credited to our items of last week. Solomon Shoemaker has closed up his saloon and gone out of business. The Union City Lumber Co., who bought the John Soldner farm east of town, are sawing the oak timber into ties, 18 to 20 men are thus engaged and ties by the multiplied thousands are being got out. cd Miss Malissa French who was visiting , her brother. Janies 1).. at Whiting, Ind., returned Monday. While Fred Hoffmann and L. L. Dunbar were returning from Bluffton, and when about I'4 miles from the city, their horse took fright by a steer jwnplng over a fence, throwing the occupants into a deep side ditch. The horse turned and ran back, to the city, Dunbar was hurt and was laid up for a few days, but by the aid of two canes he has resumed .locomotion. Fred was not hurt. Oft Wednesday while Claytoti Shepherd was burning a large quantity of oil on the surface of the water on the three mile creek, the cross road bridge at the southwest corner ot F. J. Shepherd’s farm took fire and was reduced to ashes. The bridge was a large one and is quite a loss to the township. Lewis Harding, Auburn, Ind., is again the decorator at the Dunbar Carriage works. He brought with his camera and devotes his spare time to taking snap shots of river and other outdoor scenery at which he proves himself no novice. PLEASANT VALLEY. Rev. F. E. Smith will occupy the pulpit for Rev. Culbertson., Saturday night at Smith’s chapel. Married, Wednesday of last week, Chas. Urick to Miss Lib Johnson. The bovs turned out in the evening and gave them an old fashioned serenade and Charley treated. Married, Frank. Lord to Miss Victori Brandyberry, all from Pleasant Valley and another wedding on the tapis for this week. Particulars next week. George Gilbert and wife, of Decatur, Sundayed with relatives here. It has been a long time since we have seen George with us and are glad to know he Is able to be around once more. Lyman Blossom and lady attended church gt Decatur Sunday; Ye editor of the Democrat, accompanied by his family, passed through here Sunday on their way to visit friends in Wabash township. The communication in last week’s Democrat signed “Selah,” was an unwarranted on our pastor, the Rev. F. K. Smith. It was not written by any one at Pleasant Valley. We would respectively ask “Selah” hereafter when writing his communications to date them where they belong, (to Monroe.) Simply because he taught a term of school at the Valley does not entitle him to head his article “Pleasant Valley.” We are a peaceable cbmmun-f tty and desire peace and not strife and don’t waitt’a wrong impression to get before the pnbHe. “Selah” will please take irortce as We don’t want to be credited with anything ■originating from the mind of some' one in the aforesaid sinful town of Monroe..

TIRED WOMEN. The Housewife, the Farmer and the Toilers of All Vocations. Depression ot the nervous system at the approach of spring is a fertile source of blood impurities. That tired feeling, which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating cold of winter, quickly disappears when Pe-ru-nais taken. Thousands are daily testfying to its priceless benefit. General lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feelings, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Pe-ru-na meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Fe-ru-na invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and procures regular sleep. This tired out feeling is especially true of the housewife in spring timeused up, fagged out, jaded and weak. There are thousands of them everywhere. A few bottles of Pe-ru na would do them untold benefit. As a tonic and nerve invigorator it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, it gives strength to the circulation and at once restores the appetite and digestion. No feeble woman should be without Pe-ru-na A finely illustrated pamphlet on Spring Medicines sent free by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, O.

UISSSINi; MCAHMJ. fireat Britain Will Occupy the Customhouse at the I’ort of Coricto. NOT DISPOSED TO YIELD. Although th* Oceoputtoa Will B« Allowed It Will Be to Draw Attention to the Invnetoo *f the Monroe Doetrlno— Apprehonelon na to Effeot on Bond ObUcntinna. Washington, April 25.—Exact official information has been received as to Great Britain’s belligerent steps in Nicaragua. British troops are to be landed at Corinto. The customhouses are to be occupied by the British forces, and British officers are to exercise the functions of collectors of customs. At the same time Nicaraguan local commerce is to be crippled by a blockade. The limit of time allowed Nicaragua to yield expires today, and the blockade, landing of troops and seizure of customhouses is to begin immediately. There is good reason to believe that Nicaragua is not likely to yield, but will allow British troops to occupy Corinto, in order that conspicuous attention may be drawn to what is regarded by Nicaragua as an invasion of the Monroe doctrine. Moil Valuwbln Port. Corinto is the best port of the central American states or the Pacific coast. It is most important to Nicaragua, as it is the terminal of the line of the Central railroad. It is a very- old place ami was formerly called Raelejo. This was one of the best Spanish-American harbors in the old days, but it is becoming filled up and is now somewhat smaller, as to anchorage. There is no difficulty, however, in the entrance, and there is a depth of 18 feet of water in the harbor ~ at. low tide. Between the island of CarMBpand the point of Castanones there dangerous bar. The port of San Juan Del Sur has a harbor of average sze and there is sufficiently good anchorage. It is filling with sand, however, and the entrance is becoming choked, making shipping more difficult. San Juan Del Sur is in communication with Lake Nicaragua by a macadam road built by the New York and California Transit company. British Knew Where to Strike. Corinto is the heaviest import point in Nicaragnti. The imports for 1891-92 were $6,086,805, while all imports to other points did not exceed $500,000. it is evident from this why the British chose Corinto for their strike. Almost one-half of the imports of Corinto are from Great Britain, so that the British seizure of the customhouses will result in their receiving the customs dues from British merchant ships. The British imports for 1891-92 were , §2, 132. 601; those of the United States come second at $1,497,670; Germany $1,042,055; France $998.114. The rdst of the import trade was with neighboring south and Central American countries. < The imports of San Juan Del Sur were $138,820. As the Corinto imports average about $500,000 monthly it would not take long for Great Britain to appropriate the $75,1)00 indemnity demanded. The tariff rates of Nicaragua are such that the $6,006,805 of imports in 1891 yielded $1,058,913 in customs duties. Most of this was coi ito .l at Corinto. At this rate the re. i;>rs at Corinto would reach $75,000 within 30 days unless commerce was diveriad toother ports. BONDED OBLIGATIONS. Apprehension That Deferred Interest May Be Forcibly Collected Also. Washington, April 25.—1 tis a significant fact that, the hu-gest part of Nicaragua foreign debt is presented by bonds held in London and payable there is 1919. This foreign debt aggregates $2,103,227. The London holders have thus far received their interest on the bonds, very promptly. If, however, Nicaragua is crippled by the seizure of her customs receipts, it may re act by a failure to meet the interest on the bonds held in Loudon. The diplomatic representatives of the Central and South American republics are very much disturbed by this late feature of the case (the meeting of bond obligations), for they fear that it. opens a vista of endless trouble and aggression in the future. Their idea is that once Great Britain has been permitted without interference to collect tiiis special indemnity, she will avail herself pf the excuse offered by the failure of Nicaragua to meet her interest payments on foreign debt, to assume the , task of collecting this forcibly in the ' same manner, notwithstanding the fact that the failure may be brought about by her own seizure of the custom receipts which were to be applied to the payment of this interest. Os course this would necessitate tho occupation or Corintw after the original indemnity shall have been collected, which would only add to the financial distress of Nicaragua, and should she be then unable. as seems likely, to meet this last demand, the occupation may be prolonged so indefinitely as to amount to a permanent occupation of the territory. Slay A fleet yeuexaelal Also. The outcome of this Nicaraguan incident is also felt by the same diploma-' | tists to be full of significance to Vene-1 zuela, and ft is feared by them that hav-1 1 ing once driven in the wedge Great Britain can scarcely be expected to refrain from pressing forward with very vigorous measures in the matter of the Venezuelan boundry dispute and at once establishing herself as the mistress of the Orinoco. 'lt here that the present situation is one justifying apprehension and anxiety on the part of our own government. While it is not expected that the Nicaraguan government will offer any armed , resistance to the landing of British troops, still it is feared that during the timeihe_.tpwiLof Corinto is occupied by the foreigners “the natives may be restrained with difficulty, and the close contact into which the two discordant elements will certainly be brought might at any moment lead to an outbreak winding up in a general war. > ■ The tenure of the Nicaraguan governluonfc is none wu »' xoure, and *• I’d* , ■ ■' ■. iafet

It is evident that our state department has not lost sight of this possibility for Secretary Gresham has been in consultation with the president and the Nicaraguan minister on the subject, and it is believed that he has been using his best efforts to prevent a resort to extremes by intimating that the in- • demnity had better be paid. Justice Faller’s Opinion Made Pnblic. Washington, April 24.—The text of i the opinion of Chief Justice Fuller in the income tax case, which was delivered on the 9th inst., was made publio yesterday.
