No time for tears in Uncle Hez. George W. Woodward came homo last night from a business trip to Indianapolis. The Lutherans of Freidheim and vicinity will soon have a new brick church, which will be a handsome building entirely modern from every point of view. Plans drawn by architect Myers of Ft. Wayne have been accepted and the building will begin as soon as weather permits. A committee representing the church were here last Thursday to decide on the plans. An insulting tramp tried to hold up the Murray House Thursday for a square meal, but was turned down on account of his impudence. He then wanted a scrap from Mr Murray and was accommodated.

The tramp was arrested, but after a few days in jail was released and ordered out of town. Quite an array of Adams county democrats were at Bluffton last Thursday attending the eighth district convention. The principal business of the meeting was to elect a district chairman. J. Frank Mann, who was the Delaware county candidate, withdrew from the race and only two names, W. H. Eichhorn of Bluffton and John A. M. Adair of Portland were presented. The first ballot resulted, Eichhorn fifty-nine votes and Adair sixty-eight, thus electing Adair. The meeting was well attended and was enthusiastic throughout. Mrs. Arvai De Hoff, of Geneva, was so badly burned Friday afternoon that she died within a few hours. Her dress caught from an open gas fire and in a few seconds she was enveloped in Hames. No one was in the house but her baby girl, but Mrs. De Hoff made a brave effort to save herself, finally ge'ting the fire out, but it was too late. An hour afterwords her other children returning from school found their mamma on the bed where had thrown herself after placing the babe in another room away from the fire. A physician was called at once but all efforts were futile and the good lady died within a few hours. Among those who have deposited the necessary fee for the Democrat this week are Jacob Koos.

A big fire occurred at Monmouth early last Thursday morning and a loss of about $2,000 was sustained. The blaze originated in the general store of Fetterhoff & Schieferstein and is supposed to have started in a wooden cuspidor near the store. The fire was first noticed about midnight but had already acquired such headway that no goods could be saved. About this time a can of gun powder in the store exploded and this aroused all the slumberers in the locality. Quite a crowd soon assembled and a volunteer fire department was soon at work endeavoring to save surrounding propperty. However, their efforts were in vain for in due time the house and barn nearby, the property of Mr. Fetterhoff caught and within an hour were in ashes. Only a small amount of household goods were saved and the loss was nearly total. The postoffice which was also in the building was destroyed witli all stock on hand. The loss is about $2,000 with 51.700 in the Continental company. L. A. Graham of this city agent. The store will be rebuilt at once.

'Twas a False Alarm. I have used your Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and can truthfully recommend it. Some four years ago doctors told me that I had Bright’s disease. I was laid up three mouths and nothing I used helped me and no food would stay on my stomach. I used one bottle of your Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and food would stay on my stomach, and I craved something to eat. I got well. There was no Bright’s disease about me. It was a “false rumor.” Ever since I have recommended Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin to friends and strangers. It is just splendid. I have full confidence in it. Geo. F.
