Senator Hanna Receiving Many Flattering Offers. ‘ - I would give a million dolars to | ! bo cured of this rheumatism,” panticd Senator Hanna, as he painfully climbed a short flight of steps at j Washington. Arcporter overhead d the declaration and immediately gave it wide publicity. As a result Senator Hanna began receiving letters. The number of these communications rapidly and steadily increased until they aggregated about TOO a day. Each suggested some c. rtain and sure cure for rheumatism and claimed the 11,000,000 re- ! ward. The letters from the United States were followed by coinmuniI cations from all portions of the | world, a number being rceived ' from the Philippines.

AN APPOINTMENT John C. Black honored by the President. The Cuban Reciprocity Biil Was Signed This Afternoon. Special to the Daily Democrat. Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—The president has tendered the position of Civil Service Commissioner, to fill the vacancy made by the death of John R. Proctor, to General John C. Black of Chicago, commander in chief for the grahd army of the republic. Special to The Dally Democrat Washington, D. C., Deo. 17.—The president signed the Cuban reciprocity bill at one o’clock this afternoon. Special to Dally Democrat. Garden City, lowa, Dec. 17.—A bank here was dynamited last night, and SI,OOO secured. Three men did the work. STRONG PRESSURE. There Was No Discount on the Amount of Gas Last Night. Nearly everyone experienced a gas pressure last night that was somewhat ferocious.it being several thousand feet stronger than at anytime during the cold snap that enveloped us during the last several days. At Monroe the report comes that three gas meters were burned out and ruined, and several cases ‘‘too much heat” was reported from other places including this city. The service so far this winter has been sufficient for all heating porposes. only a few times being necessary to add additional fuel. This is comforting to every one using the service, many of whom are fairly holding their breath for fear of accidents, and an impaired service. TURKEY SALE. Julius Johnloz Sells His Turkeys to Place 4 Co. for $392.42. The J. W. Place Company todayissued a check for $329.42, and the whole blamed thing went for the payment of turkeys. Julius Johnloz was the lucky Ike who turned over the fowls and received the check. Most of the turkeys were raised by Mr. Johnloz and are young fowls, being the cream of the turkey trade. This is certainly the banner effort in the line of raising and selling turkeys and getting the cash therefor. It looks so large that it sounds inorc like a deal in real estate than simply the transfer of turkeys. IS DAFT. Shmney ttonus is Now Crazy in Earnest. Shiney Honus who was taken to the infirmary- a few days ago, and who was given u real bath upon his visit, now occupies a coll. This is caused from a collapse of the mind, he being "daft” in earnest now. He is reul vicious at times and but for confinement in a oell, would cause considerable trouble to the management. It would soc'n from this that his being taken in charge by officials of the county, was done none too soon. The cells at. the infirmary, besides being secure are us comfortable as it is possible to make them. House for rent—Nine rooms, all mordern oonvenenccs. Inquire at this office. 259(10
