Rensselaer, Jasper County, Indiana, Friday, July 2,1898

Many newspapers are adopting various plans to meet the exigencies forced upon them by the hard times. Some conclude to try a reduction of the subscription price and hope to increase the number of subscribers; others announce that they will throw off 50 cents ter annum to delinquents who will square up arrearages. We do not think either of these plans will pay. With wheat stating at 50 @ 60; oats 10 @ 12, corn 15 @ 16 producers find it next to impossible to make their income meet their necessities. We have a time at least, to meet the emergency, in reducing our necessary cash outlay each week by reducing the size of the Sentinel, and the price to $1: and so soon as we may feel justified in doing so will restore the paper to its former dimensions.

HOW TO FINO OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass uith urine and let it stand Wenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of /he kidneys. Whtn urine stains hneu it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of ordei. WHAT TO DO There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladderjand every part of the urinery passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effpet following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compel ed to get up many times during the mght to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need r medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists price fifty cents end one dollar. For a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, mention Democratic Sentinel and send your full post-office address to Ur. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The proprietor of this paper guarantors the genuineness of this offer.

‘Judge’ Healy has hadsomely fitted up his salesroom. Die other day we overheard one lady remark to another: “I have ‘visited Mr. Healy’s Boot and Shoe Emporum, and realize whv he has been dubbed “JUDGE!” “He has had many vears experi ence in the manufacture of shoos —is a practical workman —there fore is a good “Judge,” of tie work in a shoe. i ‘His experience, too, in the hand I ling of material constitutes him a good “Judge” of the stock in his I goods. i “He has an ex tensive stock, in all sizes, and can ‘ fit” the most exact , ipg, which goes to Drove that he is a good “J udge” of the wants of the people ” Advertised Letters—John Baldwin, Miss Lizzie Rushon, Mr Ed. Mason, Miss Maud Waugh.

-IH9OEXHORT, s 1 MPORT, *6«O,SffG,U33. Balance oi* Trude lor TJncle Sam, Larg-etst ever known! The Dingley bill can’t beat the above showing. A “revenue” tariff is no trust creator. A “protective” tariff is no revenue producer. A “protective” tariff will no more produce revenue for the government than a “revenve” tariff will fill the coffers of the trusts and combines ^ *" ■ ■ 1 Congressman Hopkins (rep ) says the reciprocity clause of the pending tariff bill will not'hold water in court. This is itrange, as the whole bill was desig ed io hold the wave of prosperity. That was a tremendous gathering in Columbus to to place in nomination a Democratic State Ticket. Ihe convention did its work well; the ticket is a winner, and the resolutions contain no uncertain sound.

It was win. McKinley, now pres iient of the United States, who said in a speech at Toledo only three years ago, that Gr >ver Clove, land had made gold tne master and all things else the servant. In what way has he changed the policy which he then condemned ? ——• -44, “Strike of Miners Is On”—“National Executive Board Orders All the Men to Quit Work July 4” “Circular Which Affects Goal Producing In Five States”—“Mine Workers Are Entitled to a Fair Day ’e Pay For a Fair Day’s Work” are “the pleas'ng(?) headlines to the news of to-day.”

The Indianapolis Sentinel says that secretary of the treasury Gage “is too unreliable for the job he is holding. Only a few weeks ago he assured some ot our most succulent capitalists that prosperity was imminent—he saw it above the horizon—and now, having gone back home and looked over his mail, he comes out wi‘h a public announcement that “I feel assured that by the time June 30, 1898, shall have rolled round, rhe government's af* fairs will be in even better condition, while the people of the country will have cause for thankfulness that a new era of industrial activity and uiosperify has set in.’’ Whv, Gage! that is a whole year away Even Bradstreets had only put it off until fall. We jan stand a great ueal, but unless $ Hanna suppresses this procrast’nator we sluill be forced to protest against the administration. If the cabinet cannot do anything else it can at least make comforting prophecies, and we insist that the members do so or resign.

John Sherman says “A combination of persons engaged in a common business would seem on its face to be a fair en ugh matter, but in reality such combi ations p.event healthy competition and control output and t rices. * * i “The trust people say the effect of their combinations is to lower prices of (he products which ti-ey control. Ido not believe it. The tendency to cont<ol the output and i put up prices must naturally come with the control of any important industry or trade. “When a man makes tiis money on a fair basis of trade nc man ■ envies him or has a right to.When he makes ajortune with the trusts which shut out competition or restrain trade he is denounced, rand this has been done by all peo- ' pie and at all times. It is unfair competition and u r fair combination that have roused up this cry 1 against trusts.” i A “protective” tariff is the great generator and life-blood of trusts.

j Rev. Mr. Jeffries, Apple Creek, | Ohio, will occupy the Presbyterian i pulpitnext Sabbath evening. You are invited. “Louise, two-thirds of every healthy kfant’s life sho’d be spent in sleep.” “Well, don’t tell me about it; go talk to baby.” The Chicago Herald tells of the meanest man on earth. Twice a week he hypnotizes his wife and she runs the law'a mower over the front yard while believing she is is taking a bicycle spin. “Wasn’t it a surprise when young Rocksworth married the eldest of those Berry girls?” “O, I d-n’t know. He had his pick of them, and I suppose bethought he ought to take the ripest Berry” In the United State* 9,000,000 farm hands raise half as much grain as 66,000,000 in Europe.— Thus the use of proper machinery makes one farm laborer in the United States worth seven in Europe. Prosecutions are expected to be gin soon under the new Massachusetts law which forbids the wearing of the body or feathers of any undomesticated bird. Every offender will be fined $lO and rheprosecuting witness will be paid a reward of $5.

The beet snai e stiry comes from California. A hunter saved the ife of a rattler that evinced the iveliest And most musical gratitude finally taking up its abode in his cabin. One nigbt he heard a great commotion on the ground floor. He ran down and found the rattlesnake holding a burglar in its coils with its tail out of the window rattling for a policeman. An Atchison (Kas.) woman te» moaned the fact that she had no flowers to decorate the table for a dinner- party, Her servant girl didn’t say anything, but when the guests arrived and were taken out to dinner the hostess found the table burdened with geranium blossoms. She discovered after the guests had gone that the servant stole them from the lawn of a neighbor, and that neighbor was among the guests invited. A printer doesn’t rush to th« doctor when ho is out of “sorts.” Nor to the baker when he is out of “pi.” Nor to hell when he wants the “devil.” Nor to the Bible when he wants a good “rule” Nor to tne gunshop when he wants a “shooting-stick.” Nor to a cabinetshop when he wants “furniture.” Nor to a bank when he wants “quoins.” Nor to a girl when he wants a “press.” Nor to a lawyer when he has a “dirty case.” Nor to a butcher when he wants “phat.”| Nor to a pump when he's dry—and has ten cents in his pocket. Why the Sky Is Blue.—Did it ever strike you to inquire why the cloudless depths of sky above us are so delicately blue? It isn’t that the gas we call air is in itself blue.

As tar as we know, it is quite transparent and absolutely color-, less. No; the blue comes from reflected light. Air is never puie. Dure, couldn’t live in it if it was. Countless millions of tiny particles, chiefly of water, are al* ways suspended in it, and these arrest the free passage of light. Each particle has a double reflec* tion - one internal, rhe other external—and so the reflected rays suffer the usual result of what is called “interference” and show color.— You will notice that the sky ap pears much bluer if you look straight up than if you look across to s ard the horzon. The reason Is that, in the first instance, you are naturally looking through a much thinner|| layer of air than in the second.

If there were no air and conse quently no watery vapor and no thing to interfere with the free passage of light, even at midday the sky above syould look perfectly bl..ck and all the s ars pla’uer tha n at present they do at midnight.— Answers.
