QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors were tecarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches, only need a few doses of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you.

Think For Yourself.

There Is one man who through the world will always make his way, The man who dares to reason for himself; Who doesn't take as gospel all that other people say; . Who tosses dusty dogmas on the shelf; Who dares to look clear-eyed at Truth and follow where she leads; Who isn’t always ruled by ancient precedents and creeds; The man who has a thinker of his own. The world needs Independent men, who can't be cowed or bought; Who dare to preach new doctrines to mankind; Who dare strike out, as pioneers, in novel fields of thought; Who bring new light into the human mind; It needs the man who has the high capacity to lead. Who speaks for right in no uncertain tone; Who to the voice divine within his spirit giveth heed— The man who has a thinker of his own. It needs the man who will proclaim his highest and his best; Who won't belle his thought to please the crowd: Who stands for human liberty and will not be repressed; Who dares for justice to speak out aloud ; Who dares to combat evil, though intrenched in power and place, Who won t conceal or palter or condone; Who dares take up a lie and throw it in the liar's face— The man who has a thinker of his own. We'ie tired of men like jelly fish with spines made out of nmsh, Who have no principles they won't betray : Who deal in wordy Imuibast and in higlifalutin' gush. Because they do not know just what to say. God give to us the man who faces wrong without a fear; Who has a little conscience and backbone: For freedom and humanity who gives his message clear— The man who has a thinker of his own. You say he would be ostracized? What of it ? So were they, The pioneers of progress who are gone; And yet they were God's messengers, who came to clear the way; They were the voices prophesying dawn : This world is not the only one the Infinite designed: And when we stand before the great, white throne. He will be known for w hat he is, a prince of humankind— The man who has a thinker of his own “ —Denver News.

COMMUNICATED.

Abuse of The Appointive Power. Ed. Democrat: While working on the road the other day some of our hands got into a friendly dispute concerning the appointment of road and ditch viewers. One side contended that these officers, or appointees, are compelled to serve when appointed; that refusal to act would be contempt of court, just the same as it would be if one failed to appear when drawn as a juryman. The other side held that it was discretionary with the appointee whether be acted or not, or at Jeast there was a limit to the number of times he is compelled to [ serve within certain periods. Now,, if men are forced to act every time thej- are appointed road or ditch viewers, we think the law is unjust and should be repealed at the earliest opportuninity. If such is really the law our legislators surely never expected Commissioners to make it oppressive and unjustly burdensome to any of our people. The present board of Commissioners through this appointing power Again and again, repeatedly and repeatedly, has taken up the time of our best citizens, forced them from home and business into inclement weather and unpleasant places, and all seemingly through spite or downright ignorance. J. F. Warren, R. B. Harris and Uncle Felix French are term after term made the helpless victims of this oppressive appointing power. Especially is this true of J. F. Warren. ThisVentleman for the past five year/ has been almost constantly engaged in viewing roads and ditches, so much of his work leads him through the wet and slush, it is said, that often in early spring he for weeks is compelled to sleep with his rubber Ixiots on. The people up our way protest against the action of our Commissioners, in the oppressive manner in which they exercise their appointing jxiwer. Any information, Mr. Editor, you can give your readers on the above subject will be thankfully received. Inquirers.

What Monumental Gall.

Remington, June 19. When the taxpayers of Jasper county stop to think of the numerous lawsuits now on hands and the thousands of dollars it will cost to defend them, only to be beaten in the end on a number of them, thus adding still more thousands of needless expense, what must they think of the “monumental gall 1 ’ of two of the board of republican commissioners, who have got the county into all this trouble and litigation, asking for re-election at the hands of the taxpayers? Such brazen effrontery is enough to strike dumb the ordinary man. The fact of their paying out all the money in the notorious Keener township gravel road contract, contrary to law and contrary to the plain wording of their own contract —to say nothing of their various other questionable transactions —should condemn them beyond a possible hope of re-election. Such utter disregard of law and the rights of the people should be I punished, and it does seem to us i that some one should be held criminally responsible. This thing is not a matter of politics, but is one that every honest man in the county regardless of political affiliations ought to be interested in putting a stop to. We as taxpayers have been lied to j time and again by our party about | the condition of local affairs and ' frantic efforts have been made by the leaders at Rensselaer to shut off the only real source of inforination we have ever had—as was evidenced by the numerous flimsy libel suits and tax suits brought against The Democrat, in the hope of breaking it down finan- j cially and forcing its editor to leave town. The powers were afraid of the exposurers sure to come. And now. after the truth has been established in numerous instances,some of these old officials have the audacity to ask us to return them to office that they may continue their depredations on the county treasury! No. thank you. Not any mote of it for me, and I i believe there are hundreds of other republicans in Jasper county who feel just as I do in this matter. Republican Taxpayer. Gifford's Railroad. Rensselaer, June 20. The voters of Marion. Carpenter, Barkley and Jordan townships will ■have the privilege of voting for or 1 against aid to Gifford’s railroad on j July 17th. Since May 12th, 1869, , the voters of the townships iu this ■ State have possessed such power. ' The constitutionality of the law | was at first seriously questioned, i but it is now settled that such a j law is valid. It therefore becomes ; the duty of the voter to consider I the wants of the community and I vote as his judgment tells him is for the best interests of his township. Benjamin J. Gifford is a resident of Kankakee, Illinois, and made his appearance in this county during the summer of 1891 as a 1 professed Moses to lead the people | out of the swamps and wilderness. He claims to own thirty-three thousand acres of land, the greater part of which he purchased at a nominal sum. This land he lets to i>arties binding them up in con- ! tracts making them merely occu- ! pants and servants. Gifford is . very much in favor of drainage, I provided other people bear the expenses. If some small farmer desires to drain his land wherein it affects Gifford and files a petition for that purpose Gifford, employes a large number of attorneys and resists the improvement. The small farmer being unable to conduct extensive litigation must live in the swamps, or sell toGifford nt the price he is willing to pay.*' Gifford is also in favor of building railroads but he wants the people to tax themselves to build the roads and donate them to him so that he can have all the honor and all the benefit. Has Gifford ever made a proposition and put it in such a condition as to render it binding on him? When will the road be built? Where it be-

gin and where does it terminate? What kind of a railroad does he propose to construct ? All of these important questions remain unanswered. , Why should the citizens of Rensselaer favor Gifford’s railroad? Has he ever done anything for this city? A few years ago he boasted thathe had spent thousands of dollars in Jasper county but not a dollar was spent in Rensselaeh If Gifford is not in favor of Rensselaer why should this city favor hims That a good road leading from some important point to Chicago, or an east and west road from important points passing through this city would be a great benefit to the city and county no intelligent person questions. Vote Gifford’s road down and wait until there is an opportunity to vote for a good road.

ANOTHER “ANTI.”

County Investigation Matters.

The Citizens’ Committee which protested against the building of the Boone County Court House, will ask the County Council to appropriate money to pay experts to investigate the county officers. n i! n Columbus, Ohio, June 16. —A petition signed by 100 citizens of Clermont county asking that an investigation be made of the offices of that county, was presented to State Auditor Guilbert this morning by a delegation from Bolivia, headed by Lee and Frank Hitch— Batavia Attorneys—and James Bishop. They charge extravagance in public expenditures and overcharging of fees covering a long period, and several administrations. Auditor Guilbert took the matter under advisement. The jury in the case of the State vg J. Marsh Wilson, ex-treas-urer of Shelby county under indictment for attempting to collect a false claim against the county, returnecLa verdict Sunday evening finding defendant guilty as chargecL Wilson filed a claim for 81.6(10 against the county which was illegal, and in the recent general shaking up of the county management in Shelby county an indictment was returned against him. Shelby count}’ has been under democratic rule for a great many years and, as is generally the case where one party has control of everything for a long time, a corrupt political ring grew up there. Recently an investigation was brought about and a number of officials and tax-eaters who had been robbing the people were indicted. Other cases are now on trial and the outcome is being watched with interest all over the state. M arren & Irwin are making loans on farm or city property at a low rate of interest and commission and on more liberal terms than can be obtained elsewhere in Jasper County.
