Linn Grove. Mrs. Corthy Runyon is seriously sick, typhoid fever the ailment. The construction of the Rufus Keeps residence begun last week. Miss Mary Fuller of Pleasant Mills is visiting the family of M. L. Kizer. Abe Stuckey is filling his brother Amos’ place at the meat market by reason cf the latter being indisposed. Pre iminary steps were taken to reorganize the literary society last Friday evening. John A. Sawyer of Bluffton, made us a social call Monday. John was one of our townsmen many years ago. Owing to Cleopus Runyon having a child seriously sick John Kimble of Petroleum, while here last week phoned the former as to the condition of the child, and was answered that the child was not dead. John at the time was in proper condition to understand the reverse, and with a helper proceeded to our cemetery and marked a place for the grave of the supposed dead, also detailed two brothers to repair to the house of mourning as watchers over the remains, who performed duty until two o’clock in the morning, when they inquired as to the hour of the funeral and were surprised to learn that the child was not dead. Osa, one of the w it j’aer s. atfitgrms that wh -n he attends nother wake there will be a corpse for a certainty. Washington City by Oral Hoffman. After returning to the city from the park the next place to visit was the library of congress, which is located near the capital building. It is 470x340 feet, built of white granite from New Hampshire. It has nearly 2.000 windows, which makes it the best lighted library in the world. It cost <6032,92.45. The dome of this building is made of gold leaf and can be seen for miles glittering in the sunlight. Just in front of the building is the bronze fountain or court of Neptune, which is fine, while at the front entrance is the bronze doors, showing Menerva presiding over the diffusions of typographical art. The home of Gutenberg, as he was the inventor of printing in Germany. Passing through these doors we are in the vestibule. Here we find the floors, walls and all ju-t l:ke the entire building, of Italian marble, finely 1 polished. Here we take <ff our hats, and if we have a package or ' an umbrella we check them and I leave the n till we c n? nick T i '

the right tie first is poetry; here you can find any p»em you wish (except those written on Spring by some amateur poets—these can be found in the waste paper basket of some newspaper office) Passing on and turning to our right we are in the department of Greek heroes, farther on in another room to the right’ is the representatives reading room, then the senators’ reading room; passing on and in a room to the left is the periodical reading room, where the latest copy of any newsjiaper can be had. Walking down the isle to one of the tables you can sit down and jieruse the contents of this paper with out being molested, as no body is allowed beyond the gate that does not want to read. Starting back through these same rooms we come to the vestibule again. Now we go to the left or north wing. We pass through a number of rooms. Here we see old letters, old bibles and literature of all kinds, some books and bibles being one to three hundred years old. We pass on till we reach the map room, here we find maps of a countries, states and counties. Coming back through these same rooms we are again in the vestibule and after taking a drmk of ice water we pr ceed t: as -ni the center stair : It» ma nicely polished h has fine a gloss as a mirror Tne Mnnister and steps are the same Large marble columns . . :-e: *Lr. igb ami 75 feet high pass a ng the *i oes of this stairway. Tney support the dome of the building Ascending these stairs and reaching the thiri floor and walking around the corndors and looking over the bin.-’-r down into the first floor of the r - tunda or reading room we see or more busy readers. Here again we see the same marble columns and at the top of each one is the ■ different department of books with : some symbol or illustration, acommerce there is an illustration of Columbus and the three ships, and also of Fulton with the first' steamship, the Clairmont: whik on another column is Religion with Moses, the great law-giver with the tablet of the law delivered on Sinai; on the next is History, Hero- i dotus, the father of history, with the decline and fall of the Roman empire; Art is a bust of Michael! > Angelo; Philosophy. Plato and‘Bicon ;; Poetry, Homer; Law, Solon: Science,Newton. There are 1,000,000 : books two of each copy, the book ! .'helving is now 2,316.800 feet or I 44 miles There can be room made ! fir 3.500,00 ■ or 100 miles of she]-!

vmg iVuon a ojjK is 0 tiled ror at the desk of the lib<rian he sends a slip ■of paper through a pneumatic tube to the clerk in the department this book is to come from. He puts the book on a carrier and it is delivered to the reading room. The whole process takes but a few moments time. Any visitor can get a book to read, ' but cannot leave the building with i them. For the convenience of con- “ gress books are sent to and deliver- > ed from the Capitol building through a tunnel. This oongress--1 ional library as it is called is the finest in the world, and has a ’ much nicer appearance after night ) when it is illuminated with thous- • ands of electric lights. The decora- • tions are the finest in the world, as • each was done by a special artist. no one artist dong any painting out i of his line. Thore are hundreds of paintings and crayons one being the Evolution of Books, which ! Illustrates the advancement and ’ improvement.' in this line. The first step is the Cain, a prehistoric 1 man on the sea shore, showing a ‘heap of boulders to commemorate .r tel! of some notable event; the next step was Oral Tradition or the Oriental St ry Teller relating his tale to a group of listeners; the third step was Hieroglyphic, chiseled out of stone or upon the face of a monumental tomb by the Egyptian stone cutter : fourth the pteturegraph or picture writing ?y which the American Indian records n the Buffalo robe his rude story of the war trail and tchase fifth, the Manuscript engr ssed and illuminated by the m nastic scribe of the middle age; sixth, the printing press, Gutenberg. the inventor of printing, is reading pr which has just come from the press. There are other tine paintings, one denotes Labor, another rest. Recreation, Study, Religion, Prudence. Courage, Patri tism. Fortitude, Wisdom. Understanding. K lowledge, Pavsi- , ology. Temperance. Justice. Industry Then there are the different senses, Taste. Hearing. Smeil, Touch, Sight There is a great ■'•ontrast in the expression of each. The largest and finest painting is that of the Mosaic Minerva! by I Elihu Vedder. The goddess of 1 wisdom in her right hand cari ries a spear, in the left a scroll on which is inscribed Agriculture. El-

I uoation. History. Astronomy, Geography. Statistics. Economics, ! Sculpture, Architecture. Music, ! Poetry. Biography, Geology. Botany. Medicine. Law. Politics. Treaties. Army. Navy, Finance, ! while in the background flows a I fair landscape and the sun of Prosi perity sheds its brilliant light over a Beside< these paintings are hundreds of quotations from an- ! I thors and statesmen, as ” Art is lone and time is fleoting”—Long- ’ fellow. ‘‘The light shineth in darkjness. and the daftness comprehendeth it nqt.” —St. John 1-6. “The history of the world is the biography of men.”—Carlyle. Books will spoak plain when counsellors blanch.’—B aco n. "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.”—Tennyson. ‘‘The first creature of God was the light of Sense, the last was the light of Reason.”—Bacon. Thereis a number of tine statues, and as one descends these marble stairs he will without a doubt say it is a shame to use so fine a building—it’3 too nice. As the grandeur of this building can not be expressed in words it must be seen before you 1 can get the least idea of its gran- ; dear. (to be continued.) — DO IT TODAY. The time-worn injunction, "Never put off ’till tomorrow what you can do today,” is now generally pre sentedin this form: "Do it today !” That is the terse advice we want tc give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been 'struggiing for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today—and let the remedy be Dr Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your bough or cold and its continued use will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparenly hopeless cases of lung trouble.

MNjD adjourns I Eighty-first Reformed Church Session is Over. 1 - BLUFFTON, Ind., Oct, 12.The eighty- first annual session of the Ohio synod of the Reformed church came to a close last night by the delegates singing, "Blest Be the Tie that Binds,” and today i the 250 visitors left for their homes ‘ in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana ’ and Michigan. The most important question discussed by the Ohio synod of the Reformed churches in session in this city has been a con--1 solidation of the German central, interior and western synods. A committee of five was appointed by the Ohio synod to meet like committees from the different synods to bring about the consolidation and to establish one large theological seminary, to be located in one of the following cities: Indianapolis. Chicago. Cincinnati or Cleveland. Heidelburg university will remain at Tiffin. Ohio. Resolution. Decatur. Ind.. October 6, 1904. Whereas.
