Decatur Democrat, Volume 46, Number 20, Decatur, Adams County, 24 July 1902 — Page 2

The postoffice department at Washington has come to an agreement in i regard to rural letter boxes. The < fourteen kind of bows now accepted ' are made to conform to the new stand- ; ard. Their agreement also makes it ; necessary for every patron to furnish 1 his own box before receiving mail. I A movement is on foot among the members of the Uniformed Rank t Knights of Pythias of Huntington to I hold a carnival there in August, be- I ginning the 25th. Nothing decisive has vet been done, but a committee is ' canvassing the business men and the < possibilities are that the project will I ; be materialized. Judge Nelson, who was nominated for congress by the democrats at Peru i may refuse to accent the nomination. I He told some of hie friends before the ' convention met that he could not i think of accepting. There was a ' strong sentiment for Nelson all over the district and great effort will be ' made to induce him to run. Mosquitos'. Yes there are lots of them, and they lead us back in mem- i ory to the days when this section of country was largely swamps, and ’ ague and mosquitos were the main 1 pests. The sound of their ziz, just : before they present their bill, even now make the cold chills meander up and down our spinal column. I A Kansas editor has discovered , how to tell a man’s politics. Get him into a hotel wash room. The *democrat will wash and empty the basin, * the republican will wash and leave i the water standing: the prohibition will wash in the water left by the * republican, and the populist will comb his beard and not wash at all. The carnival craze continues its , sweep over the state. The smaller cities and towns are now being afflicted. There are mighty few merchants in any of the places where carnivals have been held who would welcome another. And even the people cannot look back with any degree of pleasure to the entertainment and feel that they got full value for the money expended. A little girl had been looking at some pictures of angels and she turned a to her mamma and asked, “Mamma, why are there no men in heaven?” “But there are men in heaven,” replied the mother. "Then why is it,” asked the child, that we never see any pictures of angels with whiskers or mustache?” “True, but there are men in heaven.” was the reply, “only they get in by a close shave.” Two loads of hogs were sold in the Portland market Saturday by Omer S. Whiteman, the well known attorney for *7.35 per hundred pounds. The animals were extra good ones, and so was the price. According to the ruling figures for the day the price paid was ten cents per hundred pounds in excess of the market. Hogs as quoted are higher than at any time since 1893. , * Golden Rule Jones, the Marion man who conducts seven or eight groceries as Christ would run them, has advertised an excursion to Toledo, on which occasion th re is to be no | swearing, drinking or smoking. Mr., Norton says the excursion is to be run as Christ would run it, but that j fact did not deter the Central Trades Council of Marion from boycotting the proposed journey. A sensible husband said to his wife: “Susan, don’t you spend one cent of my money with merchants who don’t j advertise in the papers.” The wife,* who was a business woman, replied, i “You old goose, I learned better long I ago than to go where I was not invit-I ed. You would be an old bachelor [ now if you had not invited me to lie ' your wife. Catch me going to a store i without an invitation .’ Not much.”—i Exchange.

A lady subscriber called on us this week to inquire what we would do if our neighbor’s chickens spent their walking hours in scratching up our garden amt pasturing upon our lawn grass. We sometimes boil and sometimes bake them, but fried chickens have been our main hold. Judge Leathers, of the Indianapolis superior court, holds constitutional the law passed by the last legislature to prevent collusion in divorce cases. It provides that a§s fee in each case i where the defendant is not represented by an attorney to compensate the prosecutor for investigating and defending. There is no necessity to get hot about the weather. There have been but few hot days yet besides it is just the kind of temperature needed to grow corn and potatoes. And then the more fuss and fuming there is the warmer one gets. It is test to take it cool and be careful in the way of eating and drinking. Auditor of State Hart has notified all prosecuting attorneys to put a stop to the co-operative home companies that have been operating throughout the state. The attorney general has rendered an opinion that the companies are frauds, and he expresses ins surprise that people can be beguiled into joining them. Their plan is to sell homes in the place where their members live. This is the day of advertising. If their is any royal road to success it is through a literal, judicious use of printers’ ink. The business men of today cannot thrive who will not advertise. The crowd follows the bandwagon. It patronizes the man who makes a noise. It does not know the other fellow. He is out of sight. He talks business perhaps, to the man who stands at his counter or desk, but he fails to reach the masses that are-being attracted to other rqarts. The average person who picks up a railroad time folder does not realize the enormous amount of work which the preparation of such publication involves. The big Burlington system for instance, has a general time folder made up from sixteen different divisions operating time tables. The folder contains 2,000 names of towns, gives the schedules of over 500 trains and whenever there is a change in time, sixty thousand figures have to be carefully checked and corrected. Never forget that women are made out of girls, and that men are made out of boys: that if you area worthless girl you will be a worthless woman, and if you are a worthless boy you will become a worthless man: that the test educated men and women once did not know “A. B, C;” that all the things you are learning had to be learned’ by them: that the efforts spent in making others happy will in some •ay add to your happiness; that a 1 fe of usefulness is worth many times more than a life of pleasure. A man out in Houston, Texas, has invented a light for burning crude oil that can be operated at a cost of one cent per night and the light is as brilliant as an arc light. The same mechanism can be applied for furnishing heat. If all that is claimed for the invention is true the fuel | question is solved. With this invention crude oil can be used for fuel at a cost less than natural gas at ten cents per thousand. The oil is piped to the place of burning the same as : gas. Mrs. Gunset and Mrs. Andrews of Decatur, spent Tuesday night at the home of James B. Stogdill in this town and Wednesday morning were | driven by Mr. Stogdill to the home of Henry Gunset. east of town. They are mother and sister, respectively of Henry and Joseph Gunset. both of i whom they will visit for several days. —Willshire Herald.

The Kaffir BoJ’ choir from South Africa will appear at Rome City on Tuesday, July 29. They will give two full programs. So wonderful is the mixture that we cannot easily understand the state of mind of a little girl wlirt asked her father, “Pa where were you born?” “In Boston, my dear.” “And where was mamma tern?” “In San Francisco, ray dear.” “And where was I born?” “In Philadelphia my dear.” I “Well,” said the little one. “isn’t it funny how we three people got together?” The young wife was weeping when | her mother called. “It’s all because I of John,” she wailed. "He’s a brute and doesn’t love me auy more. I asked him if I wasn’t the dearest little wife in the world -” “I know, I know,” interrupted the elder woman; and he said his check book or his grocery account indicated that you were.” “No, he didn’t.” "Well, bus- ! bands must have changed since I was ■ a bride. What did he say?" “Why (tears) he said (tears) that he hadn't I (sob) seen them all yet.” Deluge. The first few advertisements may not bring many inquires, but, like the foundations of a building, they are fulfilling their purpose, even if they I don’t make much of a showing. Keep I right on building. Keep on advertis ing. Don’t bediscouraged because the foundation dosen’t show up compared with what you expect the ultimate result to be. If the advertising is well done and in the right medium, you are just as sure of having a well built business as the builder is sure of having his house completed when the | necessary expense and work are put I into it. Here is an extract from a girl's essay. “People are' composed of boys and girls, also men and women. Boys I are good ’till they grow up and get I married. Men who don't get married are no good either. Girls are young women who will be ladies when they graduate. Boys are an awful bother; want everything they see except soap, j If I had my way half the boys would be girls and the other half dolls. My mamma is a woman and my pa is al boy. A woman is a grown up girl with children. My pa is such a nice man | that I guess he must have been a girl when he was a little boy.” Good Advice. —The most miserable | beings in the world are those suffering from dyspepsia and liver complaint. More than seventy-five per cent, of the people of the United States are afflicted with these two diseases and their effects, such as sour stomach, sick headache, habitual I costiveness, palpation of the heart, heart-burn, waterbrash, gnawing and burning pains at the pit of the stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue and disagreeable taste in the mouth, coming up of food aftereating, low spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and get a bottle of August Flower for 75 cents. Two doses will relieve you. Try it. Get Green’s Prize Almanac. Blackburn A Christen ts Caution: This is not a gentle word —but when you think how liable you are not to purchase for 75c the only remedy universally known and a remedy that has had the largest sale of any medicine in the world since 1868 for the cure and treatment of consumption and throat and lung troubles without losing its great popularity all these years, you will be thankful we called your attention to Bosehee's German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that > are eheap and good for light colds i perhaps, but for severe coughs, bron- > chitis, croup- and especially for consumption, where there is difficult ex- » peetoration and coughing during the nights and mornings, there is nothing ’ like German Syrup.

New carriage and cab service in New York City. Acting for the Erie, the New York Transfer company will effective July 15th, 1902, provide a service of entirely new vehicles and equipment, with drivers in new livery, for transfering passengers by carriage or cab from Jersey City to all points in New York and Brooklyn. This service operates from Jersey City passenger station, taking passengers directly from trains to any point in Greater New York, with positively no inconvenience, and assuring complete immunity from outside and irresponsible hackmen.
