TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The pre-eminent topia of the day at this season of the year is Christmas; Christmas festivities, Chr stmas legends customs, and symbols. The leading article of the December number of “Der.orest’s" tells the story of “Christ mas Chimes ell over the world.” The story is told from the standpoint of human interest, and is illustra ted with eieven fine pictur? s of the homes of the most famous bells. The opinio s of five well-known New York clergymen on the auth enheity and value of tLe “Newly DLcove.-ed Sayings of Jet us,” form a symposium of far-reacning interest to the Christian world. — Photographs of th se clergymen are also given in November Dem orest’s. Besides the sc rial, “Bobbie cDuff,” by Cunton f oss, there are in this number two de . lightful Christmas sioiit-s redolent of the spirit ot the season. The c aterial of the body of the magazine is of v. ried and widespread interest. Artists will be charmed with the beautifully il® lustrated account of Millet’s “Bar', bizon”; admirers of dramatic ar ill read with interest a history of the success of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Sother ; the homei-makei will find a fie.d foi profitable study in article giving reliable information on the making of “Oriental Cozy Corn rs,” illustrated in a most picturesque fashion, the enthusiastic wheelwoman will do well to store her mind with the practical intormation given in Our Girl’s Department on ‘Bicycle Etiquette,’ “Car o of the Wheel,” etc.; while the student and book-lover will find interesting brief reviews of the newest books in “Letters and Art.” The Fashion Department In the December Demorest’s is the most complete published in any family magazine. Foity-two patterns are given of the latest winter styles.

If the government has either money or credit left after the Honest Money people get through it will be in great luck. Miss Carrie Eger is visiting friends in Lafayette. Good warm lunch at Kennel Bro’s restaurant and bakery, for 15 cents. Art. Hopkins, Englewood, is visiting home and friends in this city.

The Presbyterian church is be ing handsomely decorated by Mr. Andrews, who has the job of dec orating.the new court house. The windows in J. W. Williams’ furniture ware rooms are hand® somely fitted up for holiday dißp av. His st ck comprises the useful and beautiful. An oyster supper and musical and literary entertainm nt will be given by the Odd Fellows and Re bekabs, at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on the evening of Dec. 15. “Forty Years of Oratory”, in two volumes, containing the speeches off Senator ’’oorhees in the House and Senate, his arguments in courts, and also hisJPublic Lectures, is now on the ma ket, and is reoeiving very favorable notice. R v. G . D. Jeffries was ca'led to Rochester, Ind., this week to give a reading entertainment fov the benefit of the Presbyterian church of that city. “Its the Jidge ve mane,” who is the exclusive shoe dealer in Rensselaer. A practical workman of many years experience; a good “jidge” of stock style and finish, its always “the Jidge ye mane” who keeps the larges': and best stock of boots and shoes,'at the most re. sonabla prices, in the oity.

•‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

Marsh Warner has placed ln ß grocery stock in charge of Lee j Catt, at Brook, and will devo e his I entire attention to the implement business in this city.

Admission 10 cents, children 5. Ev.iyboly invited. Mrs. Angela Horner, Leadville, Col., and Miss Jean Hammond, Lafayette, are visiting their sister Mrs. W. B. Austin, in this city.

T tie democratic party is of course reado to receive any repentant sinner who returns and gives evidence of repentance, but the prodigal son who comes back aud demands half of all that is left ge s no fattenl calf. Stu 'ed club m good enough for him.—lndianapolis Sentinel. D’ye hear the slogan! Jinks ! it hits our honest, loving, warm hearted, true friend, John Jessen. John is said to have cast one of the two votes deposited in this city for John M. Palmer, goldbug candidate for president. John is just now pleading anxiously and persistently for a silver paper. No doubt th ? “stuffed club is good enough” aud is intended fox the managing “pops” who deserted the democratic party years ago and have kept up incessant warfare against it. Asa condition to their return, thev demand a silver paper —the Pilot having demised. They also demand a representative to the next legislature pledged to vote for the retirement of Judge Turpie fiom the United States Senate. Their demands will not be acquiesced in. In the lan.. guage of the Indianapolis Sentinel, “stuffed club is good enough for them.”

In a free, irank conversation a tew days since with an old Populist friend we were enlightened on some points which leads us on this first opportunity to apologize to our friend D. W. Shields, for the statement that he wanted an organ. It seems that leeding Populists, stockholders, directors and managers of the late Populist organ, The People’s Pilot, now the junio; Republican organ in this city, are the ; eal movers for a new organ.' The Populist leader* referred to years ago claimed to be Democrats. They were always ‘kiokei s.’ ard finally kicked thpmselves into the Populist organization, whno they have ever since been engaged 'n unrelenting warfare against the Democratic party. Their party is plit into two,ther organ disposed of and now employed in the advocacy of Republican r rinciples. D W. Shields and our loving friend John Jessen were designate ed as a committee to circulate a subscription paper with a view to secure six hundred subscribers for a new Democratic paper. (We are not informed as to who comprise the committee to canvass with Populists, nor the grounds upon which their contributions are solicited—certainly not for the establishment of a Democratic paper.) Shields, although claiming to be chairman of the Democratic committee, had for many years been a stockholder and directer in the Populist organ company, and has taken as active a part in the advancement of Populism as bis limited abilities would admit of. We do not object to a y one locuting here. What we do object to are the misrepresentations and methods of a coterie of Populists and goldbug Jessen. We are i - formed that they are circulating the report that we were offered a big price for the Sentinel and refused to sell. To this statement, when nnd wherever inode, w» an v horize the emphatic ‘lie’ to be given,

Fully two hundred prominent democrats from all parts of the state attended the conference at the Grand hotel,lndianapolis, held in counection with tun meeting ot the state committee, last Tuesday. It is eport ed one of the most in teresting as well as e ithnsiastic meetings ever btld by the party leaders in the state, and to give additional pleasure and gratifies-, tion to those present there was ab a. lute unanimity as to platform, policy and national candidate in the next national contest. Governor Matthews and others addressed the meeting, referring to bolters he said: “Those who through selfish mo tivea and insincerity left for the sole purp se of electing a republi can party, vhv the party is better and stronger today for their going. They belong elsewhere; let them remain.” Judge D. Di Dykeman, of Cass county, said: “In receiving bolters back into he party the greutest oara and the utmost precaution sho’d be shown. Treachery once mak«s treacLery easier again, and he thought the feeling in Cass county was strongly opposed to receiving the Logans port bolters back intot“e Darty at Judge Dykeman expressed him self as strongly opposed to fusion. Tie populists, he said, were dan gerous all'es and could not be de pended upon. The party must make it very clear to all voters that it is not in any way allied to the populists. Wm. E. English said “8o far as I am personally oon c rned l believe in the democratic pa ty, with democratic principles and with democratic candidates. 1 know no organization outside of the democratic paity. lam a stranger to any other party. I feel that upon all questions treated in political platforms that 1 am enti tied to my individual views and am justified in doing my best to se cure the indorsement and adoption of those views by the party, but when the democratic convention lias decided as so the questions concerning which I may have had and probably did have personal views,the decision of that convention settled the matter for me.— Whi e I would be perfectly justified in combating for my personal views a d p. eferences within the ranks of the party and in ltßCoun® cils, no man is justified in adhering to personal prejudict s or preferences in defiance of the will of his party. * * “I want to emphatteallv state that never again do 1 want to see five names placed on the democrat ic ticket that stand for members of any party, nor do I want to see the names of five democrats democrats taken from a democratic ticket and enemies of the party put in their places. * * The remarks were all in this line We will quote further n-*xt. - To buy and reproduce f am.ous paintings involves an expenditure that could hardly be borna unless, as in the case of The Youth’s Companion, the enterprise : s sustained by the approval of moro tha x five hundied thousand subscribers. The Companion’s Souvenir Calendar for 1898, a series of charming figure pieces, faithfully copied in colors and embossed in gold, is recognized as one of the richest and most costly examples v f this form of <.rt. Yet every new subscrib r receives it without ad® ditioual charge. M reev r, the paper is sent free tj new subscri bers every week from the time the subscription is received until January, 1898, Dd then for a full ;e r to Jar uary, 1899. The popular price of The Companion, f 1 75 a year, and the char acter of its contents, make it a paper tor every household. Exceptional attractions are promised tor the fifty-two numbers to e issued during 1898 The Rt. Hon. \V. E Gladstoue, the Hon. Thomas B Heed, Rudyard Kipling, Lillian Nor.ic*, John Burroughs, W. i-.

The protected cotton manufao turers are preparing for a 10 per cent, reduction i*» wages. “And now comes the seoond step in the effect of the new tariff,” — Rensse aer Republican. Yes; threatened strikes in New York and a heavy jot in the wages of 28,000 operatives of the cotton mills of Massachusetts illustrate the beautiful results of tho 'second step." We puppose the ‘first step in the effect of the new tariff,’ is the de fioit at tho ra e of over one hu i dred million dollars a year. A democrat from the country called in to see ua Thurs fay, and saiu that he had been induoed to take the Pilot, but now wished his name insonbed .on the Sentinel list. He incidentally remarked that he had received papers with a request to procure subscribers for the “New Silver Paper” projected for this oity, but that ns he was a Democrat and not a ‘Pop,’ the Sentinel was sufficiently sound on that score for him, so he sim*. ply destroyed the papers.

FIVE SERIAL STORIES.

Five strong serial stories are announced for publication in The Youth’s Companion during 1898. They are: “The Freshman,” a roi mance of college life, by Jesse I. Williams; “The Gold the Yukon,” a story of placpfininiug in Alaska, .by Irving^Andrews; “Ferieda Fairfax, Writer,” the story of a girl who wanted to do newspaper work, by Marguerite Tracy; “The Stoayof a Bee Farm,” bv Edith A.

The Latest Railroad Meeting.

At the meeting Monday night held to take further action towards securing the electric railroad, the following committee was appointed to feolioit funds for the survey: G. E. Murray, Jus. H. Chapman, E. L. Hollingsworth, Granville Moody Wm. Washburn, The committee is expected to raise the money at once, and deposit in bank, subject to call whenever the surveying is done. The cost of the survey is not to exceed $lO per mile, and will probably be less. It is necessary to raise about S2OO for the survey, through this county, asido from wlmt will be provided for in Remington. Tl.e members of the above finance committee and of the right-of-way committees heretofore appointed, were elerted delegates to attend the next general meeting of the ruilroad stockholders, in Monticello, when the same shall bo called. From information given at the meeting, it was learned that tho surveyors had reached Winamac some days ago, and would probably soon survey the Monticello route, the people of that town and county having been sufficiently alive to their vital interest to have the preliminary work of raising money and securing right of-way, already finished. The meeting adjourned to meet on call of the chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Murray.

BRIGHT’S DISEASE is the most dangerous of all human ailments because its approach is unobservable. Its symptoms are common to other diseases, viz., Severe Headache, Backache, Dizziness, Sleeplessness, Blurred Vision, Dyspepsia, etc. Onee let it tret a firm hold on the system and It is difficult to dislodge. It is caused by inability of the kidneys to filter the Urea from the blood. Yet it can be CURED Id April, 1896,1 suffered revere verely with LaGrippe followed by Albuminuria. 1 was under the oare of emin nt phvsioi&ne for three m nths, but at the end of that time the albumen was still present. About July I began the use of a famous L ithia water, and the A 1 umen diminished but wo’d not disappear.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it, etand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of /he kidneys. Whtn urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain iu the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are cut of ordei. WHAT TO DO There is comfort in the know)edge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamn Boot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wis‘-< in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every of the urinery passages. It' cir* rects inability to hold urine aDd 3calding pain in pnesing it, or b»d effeot following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unphasant necessity of being com*, pel ed to get up many times during the pight to urinate.
