to use his own expression, “notenough fight in it” and he began the study of law which he completed and was admitted to the pratice. As a lawyer he rapidly rose to the front rank of the profession, and stands at the head of the Wells county bar, as an advocate and trial lawyer. We have no hesitancy in saying’to the republicans of eighth district, that nowhere within the seven counties, is there a man better equipped for the duties of a representative in congress, than Sharp, the choice of Wells county. The following resolution which was unanimously adopted will convey to the public, and the republicans of the eighth district, some evidence of the popular esteem in which A. L. Sharpe is held at home. "We, the republicans of Wells county in this hall assemble, reposing absolute confidence in the ability and integrity of A. L. Sharpe, and avowing him the peer of any citizen of the eighth district, embrace this occasion to present his name to our fellow republicans of this congressional district, as Wells county's nomineefor congress, subject to the action of the republican congressional convention. A. L. Sharpe is a citizen soldier: a lawver by profession and an advocate of the people, a man of decisive character and broad experience in the affairs of men, and therefore, admirably equipped to serve the best interests and most vital concerns of the people of the eighth district, in a wise and able manner, with honor and dignity to himself and fidelity to his constituents. Able, opportune, and keen in debate, he is a thorough organizer and a brilliant campaigner, in full touch and accord with the principles and objects of the republican party, and we commend him to the republican hosts of this congressional district. We heartily tender to him our loyal support, and hereby engage to promote his aspirations and candidacy by every honorable means at our command.” HON. ROBERT S. PETERSON. Among the distinguished republicans of this city and county, no other appears more prominent in political circles than does the Hon. R. S. Peterson. Through his counsel and by his deep political sagacity the party in this rock-ribbed gibralter of democracy has been kept in perfect organization. For years he has been closely connected with state politics and is personally known by all the leading men of his party in the state and nation. He has been mentioned in connection with the nomination for congress at this time, but has refused and insisted that the practice of his profession, that of law. was his sole ambition. In all probability the committee on organization on next Tuesday will make him permanent chairman of the convention, over which body he will preside with dignity. He is the oldest member of the Adams < ounty bar, having actively practiced j the profession for thirty years. He ' was a law student of judge David i Studabaker, who long since retired to I private life. His long residence and i close connection with all prominent i improvements has made him one among the best known men in the county. With the consent of their parents boys between 14 and 17 may enter the navy service as apprentices, but they must lx? “of robust frame, intelligent, of perfectly sound and healthy constitution,” and free from a long list of physical defects.

They r tport an exciting game, the score resulting 4 to 3 in favor of Cincinnati. It required eleven innings to decide the contest. Fortress Monroe is to possess the greatest electric searchlight in the world. It will guard the entrance to the Chespeak, and has a beam of light nine feet in diameter. The light is so blinding that it can not lie looked on at short range, and it even hurts the eyes when closed, It will illuminate an object 100 miles off. and can be seen on the clouds at even a greater distance.

The manager of the Opera House extends an invitation to the farmers, and all people living in the near | vicpity of Decatur to take a night off ; and visit the patriots entertainment on 1 Friday and Saturday May 20 and 21.; the weather is nice and the roads are , good the prices have been reduced to 25 cents for reserved seats which can lie secured at Holthouse A Callow s. drug store, you will be pleased with this magnificent production. In the musical given by the Misses j Keuchman at the Methodist church last Thursday evening, the Democrat recieved her usual share of honors, i The office was represented by our well | known mandolin artist Fred Mayer,; whoexhibited rare musical talent in his excellent rendition on the nandolin of "Mexicana" a beautiful waltz. Fred has recieved many congratulation upon his effort and we are proud of him accordingly. Whooping cough. I had a little boy who was nearly dead from an attack of whooping cough. My neighbors recommended Chamberlain s Cough Remedy. I did not think that any medicine would help him. but after giving him a few doses of that remedy I noticed an improvement, and one bottle cured him entirely. It is the lx»st cough medicine I ever had in the I house. J. L. Moore, South Burgettstown. Pa.

There will be more interest taken at this time than for years, and i it is right there should be. The recent recruiting of youthful soldiers to go to the front and possibly face the I cruel brunt of war has vivified the J memory of every citizen who lived ] through the days of '65. and the havoc ; wrought by the destruction of the I Maine has taught the younger gener-| ation the deep significance of this day. when the nation halts in its mad rush and turns aside to place a crown of flowers upon the brow of its dead heroes. The sacred day falls on Monday this year. A singular disease among cattle reported from Nebraska is known as. Keratins. It affects the animal while in the pasture. It will seem to lx? uneasy. and if the left eye is affected, will hold the head down and try to drive away, with the left foot, the object it seems to think is on the covering. On the third day the eye becomes watery and in bad eases shows a little speck. The disease generally runs from twenty to thirty days if not treated. The animals run down much in condition. The cause of the disease is in dispute. Some claim that it is due to weeds or grass that grow in damp pasture, while others claim that it is due to a fly that • deposits its eggs in the eye. Here is a thought from an exchange that is worthy of reproduction. It says:Dou't get big headed, my friend; don't swell up at everything you do and imagine you are the whole thing; this world can get along without you just as well as it gets along with you. If taken suddenly out of it your relatives and friends may mourn for you for a time, but the world, bless you.; will never slip a cog, and the sun willi rise and set the day after your death just as itdid before. We think it as well| for you to stop now and then and i take into consideration just how little ! we do amount to and what a tiny space we are in the conglomeration ; and bustle of the universe. Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endured ; during the war. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson. of Rossville, York county, Penn., | who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troub led with rheumatism. “I had a severe attack lately,” he says, “and procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles.” Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own use and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should have a bottle of it in their home, not only for rheumatism, but lame back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it isunequaled.

Wayne Journal of last Thursday contains the following account of an interesting musical , which was given in honor of Miss Hattie Studabaker of this city: A i very uniqueand entertaining musical was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Vesey last evening in com- . pliment to Miss Hattie Studabaker of ! Decatur, Ind. The operetta “Stra- ! della'' was given, with Mr. Allen and Mr. Vesey as the robbers, Mr. Charles Vesey as the uncle, taking the principal parts. A burlesque minstrel performance followed. The house was converted into a theather pro tern

the parlor lieing the stage with its appointments and the library having elevated seats, so that all could have a full view when "curtain went up". Roses were given as souvenirs and a delicious supper was served after the performance. A. Triplett the popular agent for the Wells Fargo Express Company in this citv was a visitor at Camp Mount last Sunday. He returned Monday morning and reports our boys are getting along nicely. They were not discouraged in the least and were anxiously awaiting the expected order to move to Fort Thomas. Chickamauga. They all fully realize what they are going into, however, and are taking the best of care of themselves and for that reason they are having but few men on the sick list. S. W. Hale, of Geneva, who is one of the trustees of the State asylum for the insane, located at Richmond, is attending the meeting of the National conference of officers of the State charities, which is now in session at New York. Mr. Hale has at tended several of these meetings during the time he has served as trustee of the institution. Last week's Geneva Herald says: S. \\ . Hale will, in response to an invitation, go to New York next week to attend the 25th conference of charities and cor rection which will be held there, commencing Wednesday. May 18th, and continuing until Wednesday. May 25th. The president of the conference is the Hon. Win. R. Stewart, who is also president of the New York State Board of Charities. The receptioncommittee embraces the names of very prominent men. viz.. Seth Low, Levi P. Morton. Whitelaw Reed. John D. Rockfeller, Elbridge T. Gary, Alonzo B. Cornell, Augustus D. Julian! and many others. The Ft. Wayne Gazette says: Appearances are excellent that Kline's cinematograph is again catching on to the susceptibilities of Ft. Wayne audiences, and the prediction that they would again break the season’s theatrical record would be made true. The entertainment deserves it, and the people are finding it out. The house last evening was much larger than the previous evening, and the program was the best of the kind. The pictures were fine and put on with biff that kept the audience interested from the opening to the close. Everything was applauded and deserved the applause, and the audience seemed to regret the announcement of the last picture for the evening, although the performance had lasted two hours, The pictures of Ft. Wayne, made yesterday and completed and presented in less than four hours, were a most interesting feature. They were snap shots of daily life in our city, and while it is known to be a beautiful one. no one fully realizes its beauties until they see it spread upon the canvass as it is done in this entertainment. Every picture in this section of the enter tainment was a gem. nicely put on and merrily received. This novel attraction will appear at Bosse’s Opera House, Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21. Admission 15 and 25 cents.
