Proved to Us That Indian Banner Duck Eggs are Good. Arthur Mayhew made the statement -some time ago that Indian Runner duck eggs were just as good as chicken eggs and that one couldn’t really tell the difference between them. We remembered having "tried the ordinary duck eggs once and having disliked the taste very much. And we thought Arthur might be just a little prejudiced because he is a fancier of Indian Runner ducks. But now we know he is right. He convinced us. One .day this week he called at The Republican office and left eight eggs for each of the publishers of The Republican, restating his former claim that they were as good as hen eggs, can not be told from them and are larger. We tried them and found his statement true in every respect. The eggs are considerably larger than hen eggs and are just as good in every manner. Mr. Mayhew says that the Indian Runner ducks are great layer.’, starting to lay. early in the spring and laying day in and day out until late in the fall. His experience with them has been very satisfactory and there is a growing demand for them in Jasper county. Over-indulgence in the good things of the table brings on distress, a disordered stomach, biliousness and headache. quickly and surely relieves these troubles. Contains no opiates. Acts directly upon the stomach and bowels. Always satisfactory. Dnctatowb llcud 2Sc DtKaft Drag A CWcal Co., Ltd. DiKik,nu Wanted —Carpenter work. Will take any job of construction or repair work. C.

LOCAL HAPPENINGS. William Augspurger made a trip to Del phi today,—— j- \ Mrs. C. A. Gundy returned to Fair Oaks this morning after a short visit with relatives here, pranges are still cheaper than tuples. Some nice, juicy seedless Navels at 20c a dozen, at John Eger’s. Will Gordon returned this morning from Lowell, where he went to see his daughter, Mrs. Carey Carson, who has been sick. Mrs. Mary Healy and her trimmer are in Chicago studying the latest styles in mfllinery. Wait for her spring opening. Dr. M. D. Gwin went to Chicago this morning to meet Mrs. Gwin, who returned from a visit with her sister in Oshkosh, Wis.. A. W. Sawin and family have moved from Union township to the house in the north part of town recently vacated by John T. Murray. Mabel, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Eisele, residing on Cullen street, is convalescing from a quite severe case of pneumonia. A. H. Hopkins made a trip to his Illinois farm today. He frequently goes by auto but owing to the bad condition of the roads he went by train. This evening at 7:15 Mr. Miller will preach at the Presbyterian church on “acceptable Worship.” This will be the last opportunity to hear him, as he is compelled to return to Union City for Sunday.

“Grandfather” J. M. Gwin has been quite poorly for several days at the home of his son, J. C. Gwin, in Rensselaer. He has been suffering from pleurisy and his condition for several days was quite critical. W. J. Holmes returned this morning from Indianapolis. He is very much imbued with the Mars Hill factory suburb being opened up there. He has thirteen acres adjoining it and it will greatly increase the value of his land. The band boys repeated their minstrel with very good success last night. They cleared about sls each night. A couple of wrestling matches, in which Tom Coburn worked with Leon Eigelsbach and Art Battleday, proved very interesting. Very encouraging word was received this morning from the surgeon who is looking after Mrs. George Green, who is in the Wesley hospital. She has improved far beyond the expectation of the surgeon and it is now believed that she can be operated on I • next Monday. The opera house was converted into a fun factory Tuesday night when the Stock Company put on “The Girl from Turkey.” The largest audience that has yet greeted this popular company was kept in an uproar of laughter from curtain to curtain.—Kentland Enterprize. Mrs. F. B. Lyon and Mrs. Gus Hall, of Delphi, and Mrs. Eva Fawcett Lyon, of here today to be house guests of Mrs. George H. Healey, who in company with Mrs. A. L. Padgitt, Mrs. J. P. Hammond and Miss Maud Daugherty is entertaining a number of ladies this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. A 1 Rishling is able to be out today after a couple of days’ quite severe sickness. He was seized with a neuralgia pain in the head and fell while working at Prior’s poultry house. He was taken to his home in the bus and it was about twenty-four hours before he realized ‘w 7 hat was going on. He will not be able to return to work for several days.

Ladies of the W. R. C. to the number of twenty-five gathered at the home of Mrs. Hester Hoyes on V‘*n Rensselaer street Thursday and from well filled baskets spread a table with a bountious dinner. The guest of honor was Mrs. Emeline Israel, who will leave here shortly to locate in some other place, probably Delphi or Monticello. The time was spent in many pleasant ways and all report a splendid time. Judge Hanley returned from Kentland this morning. He has not secured a new court reporter yet but is on the lookout for one. Harry Folk went to Hammond Tuesday to take up his work there. The judge says that the story about “Hank” Granger getting away with the booze is largely a “Joke," and that not much of it disappeared during the time of the search. The Newton county grand jury returned some indictments, but it is not public who they were against, although people over about Kentland are guessing that they are against Granger. For this week we will sell yon a 5-pound pail of jelly, our regular 30c seller, for 20c. JOHN EGER. OlL'g cards at the Republican.

Johannesburg’s riles (?->d Progress. If any one gifted with prescience a generation ago had written out the story of Johannesburg’s rise and progress he would hare been regarded as a burlesque Jules Verne. For a city to spring up in the center of South Africa in twenty j’ears. to attract a quarter of a million settled population and crowd an enormous municipal development within a single decade sounds certainly more like imagination than fact So does the arrangement by which she farms her black domestics out in a suburb ten miles away and runs special trains for them morning and night. But one secret of the town’s success rests on lier natural throne of forty mile ridge 6,000 feet above the sea and her nine hours of sunshine a day in perhaps the mildest and most equable climate in the world.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Dickens’ Desk.

A writing desk which belonged to Charles Dickens was sold the other day at the mart in Wellington street. This is the desk whose reckless treatment by American railway porters he bitterly laments !u a letter addressed to John Forster, dated Dec. 22, 1867. “Nearly every case I have,” he writes, “is already broken. When we started from Boston yesterday I beheld, to my unspeakable amazement, Scott, my dresser, bearing a, flushed countenance against the wall of the car and weeping bitterly. It was over my smashed writing desk." Among other relics of the novelist which will come under the hammer is the cane chair used by him in his private office when he edited All the Year Round.—Westminster Gazette.

Observatory Without Telescopes.

The Carnegie observatory on Mount Wilson, in California, is of white canvas, like some huge ark. You look for telescopes inside, but in vain; a series of mirrors appear instead, and it is the third of these that does the magnifying instead of the usual telescope tube. Visitors are accommodated in chalets, a little house being apportioned to each guest. Observations have been carried on since April, 1964, and every day a photoheliograph is taken and several other pictures by means of the spectrohellogram.—London Globe.

United States Vessels Not In the Navy Considerably less than half the boats belonging to the United States government are a part of the navy. The war department controls a greater number of craft of all kinds than is found on the nary lists, while the departments of the treasury, comtnerce and labor and agriculture ,all hare fleets under their jurisdiction. According to tbe latest government figures, there are but 3-10 vessels flying the naval pennunt.—Popular Mechanics. We are selling the fanciest evaporated peaches grown for 10c a pound, and apricots 15c. JOHN EGER.

R. C. Minton, Anti-Saloon Attorney, Fears Beer Depots.

Numerous alleged weaknesses in the Proctor so-called regulative liquor law arc pointed out by R. Carl Minton, attorney for the Anti-Saloon league. He attacks especially the provisions for regulating the wholesale distribution of liquor. The “blind tiger' law dehned wholesale deaiers as those 'who sell in greater quantities than five gallons to a licensed dealer. Under the Proctor law the wholesaler is defined as one who sells in quantities of not lens than five gallons. Mr. Minton believes top liquor may be sold direct to ttie consumer uml :r tho provisions of the new r to; and that brewery depots for the purpose may be established in “dry” territory. ~ The Anti-Saloon League attorney does not believe, however, the transfer and renewal clause of the law will stand the test of the courts if the commissioners are disposed to ignore it. Mr. Minton says that the brew’--received from the legislature prac. - sally all they asked. Section 26 provides a penalty for any persons who signs a remonstrance under the Moore law and who is not a legal voter in the township or ward. In the first place this section is entirely foreign to the rest 6f the law and has no place in this measure, says Mr. Minton. In the second place, its only purpose is to enable the liquor interests, through threats and intimidation, to prevent the signing of a remonstrance.

Section 4 of the act says: The nuinber of retail licenses which may be granted shall not be more than one for each five hundred inhabitants thereof, which number may be further limited by the board of county commissioners of any county to any number not less than one to each thousand inhabitants of such city or township.” The men who framed the law evidently intended to say in the latte* portion of the above quoted section “not more than one to each one thousand,” but instead of saying more the law says less. Interpreted just aB it reads the law provides that there shall be not less than one saloon for each thousand people. Just how far-reach-ing this is and what it really means is left for some court to determine.

Millard Fillmore Monroe, aged 52. a printer known all over the United States familiarly as "Percy,” Is dead at Muncie. He was born at Danville, 111., and was a personal friend of Speaker Cannon and family.
