Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and he writes: After taking two bottles I was wholly cured.” A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach.

Common Council.

The city council met in regular session Monday evening, with the members all present except Councilman Porter. J. C. Porter and other property owners on Cullen and Forrest streets, petitioned for a change in the specifications for the proposed improvement of said streets. The petition was rejected by a vote of 2 to 3. Louis Sayler and others filed a remonstrance against the construction of a cement walk on east Rutson street, referred to the committee on sidewalks. Frank Foltz, Mary Foltz and S. P. Thompson presented a deed, conveying to the city a strip of ground 5 feet wide along the north side of their property, on Work street for street purposes. The dedication was accepted and the city engineer was directed to establish a sidewalk grade along said strip. Edwin G. Warren was accepted as a member of the fire department. An ordinance was adopted which provides for the grading and macadamizing of Cullen street, from Washington street to Cornelia street. This street is to be macadamized its full width, with cement curbs. An ordinance was adopted providing for the construction of a macadam roadway 30 feet in width with oak curb on Cullen and Forrest Streets from Cornelia street to Oak street.

Heartburn.

When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich heartburn is likely to follow, and especially so if the digestion hns been weakened by constipation. Eat slowly and not too freely of easily digested food. Masticate the food thoroughly. Let six hours elapse between meals and when you feel a fullness and weight in the region of the stomach after eating, indicating that you have eaten too much, take one of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets and the heartburn may be avoided.

A WRATHY APOLOGIST.

Bro. Marshall Attempts to Pick Street Brawl With “The Democrat' ’ Editor and is Arrested. When The Democrat editor entered the postoffice Tuesday morning he was followed by the “decent editor” of that “decent paper” generally known as the Official Apologist, but which its editor pleases to term the “official organ.” Bro. M., had come in unnoticed and we spoke to Uncle Jared Benjamin, who sat in a chair inside the office, and passed on and got our mail, closed the box and started out examining the headlines in the morning paper when a hullaballo arose on our left and on glancing up we saw the Apologist editor swinging his arms in a wild manner, cursing and shouting and pointing at Uncle Jared. He seemed to want to call our attention to Mr. Benjamin, and finally we were able to distinguish from his wild tirade the words, “ask ! him, ask him who changed that I letter.” Mr. Marshall appeared to be very much perturbed and -excited, and badly out of fix over something. Thinking perhaps the old gentleman had written so much , on insanity lately that his mind , had become a little more unbal- ’ anced than usual, and having read | that the best way to get along with | a lunatic was to humor him, we | smiled indulgently and passed out. of the door. The Apologist man. 1 utterly beside himself with rage,■ followed out and became quite personal in his remarks, using language more expressive than elegant, and thoroughly out of place for such a good Christian man. In fact one would hardly have expected such oaths and blasphemy in the vocabulary of one so angelic as he himself says he is. We stopped for a moment and informed him that such language was against the peace and dignity of the State of Indiana, and that we preferred to not soil his clothes and our hands with so filthy a mess, in fact we had long ago solemnly promised El Bringham of Goodland, to let him have this job. and passed on to our office. When the daily edition of the Apologist appeared we found that he was wroth about our comments on the omission of some words in the Gifford railroad letter, which letter had been sent to Mr. Benja-, min, read publicly by Mr. Marshall and given him to publish,] which he did, but omitted two! very important words. He made an “explanation” of the omission which was very weak but which might to some extent excuse him for the error with some people, so far as the letter itself was concerned. Letters of a character so important as this are always read over in proof by copy, and an error so glaring as this would of course have been noticed. But the most damning evidence of guilt is found in the following editorial comment which appeared in the same paper as the letter: ' Should these electionscarry I will proceed to survey the line and put the same under construction at once." This is Mr. Gifford's plain, unequivocal statement, over his own name. It is plain enough and definite enough. Let us take him at his word and set him to ; building it. The in quotations are i given as Mr. Gifford’s precise language, but it will be observed that I the two important words after line, “if practicable,” are omitted here as well as in the published letter. Marshall is supposed to have got this “plain,'unequivocal statement” from Mr. Gifford’s letter, and it is very strange indeed that he should have missed those two words. Also, Marshall knew that the opposition to the tax were using this very thing for electioneering, that Mr. Gifford had never made any direct statement that he would build the road even though the tax carried, and in reading over the letter those two words must have stuck in his crop so forcibly that he could not have passed them over twice without noticing their omission. This letter and the alxjve comment went out over the county on the Friday preceding the election. The “correction” paper did not get out in time for the “correction” to be read outside of Rensselaer ] before the election, hence the damage was done. So far ns the letter being published in the Journal, with the same omission, is con-' I cerned, we understand that it was so published in the daily edition, but not in the weekly. The Daily Journal like the Daily Republican, is only read by a very few people in town, and a copy never gets i outside the city limits, heijce it could do but little harm. We do not receive the Daily Journal and 1 have probably never seen a half dozen copies of that publication, ' therefore we could not say what had or had not appeared in the same. We are pained to note that Bro. Marshall so far forgot himself as to lose his temper over being

called down on this omission, and will say that if he really wants to “scrap” we will try and get that Wheatfield lady tb come down and lead him about by the whiskers again. We think, to use this honest’ (?) gentleman’s own words of a few months ago, when he was instituting libel suits galore against us, that the “courts are the proper agencies” to employ “against such people” as himself, and that to punish him ‘by a personal castigation would simply bring us into the same disrepute with him, hence a warrant was issued for his arrest for provoke and his case will come up at the September term of the circuit couift.

From the Oil Field.

Medaryville Advertiser: The recently finished oil well on Section 28 in Gillam township, which we shortly mentioned last week, proves to be of greater magnitude than we at first supposed. When oil was first struck gas forced the oil about ten feet above the casing. The well has been tubed and connected with the pumping apparatus and in less than two hours a 90-barrel tank was filled up to the brim, and pumping operations had to be suspended for want of tankage. The oil men and especially those of the Byrd Syndicate are considerably excited and elated over this new strike and one of them predicts that the so-called Medaryville oil field will yet be the banner oil field in the United States. This is the third good well on the southwest quarter of section A low estimateplaces the well at 300 barrels per day. Mr.E. T. Mudge has just completed his second well on his 180 farm one and one-half miles northwest of Medaryville and found the brown shale at 80 feet, the oil sand at 104 and the oil at 109 feet which gives showing sufficient for pumping. Mr. Mudge feels quite good over the results. The American Oil Co. is still drilling near Wheatfield and also west of Francesville and reports the completion of several good producers.

THE CHINESE BOY AT HOME.

His Long Hours in School and the Sports of the Vacation. Among the representatives of the celestial kingdom in this city, says the Ogdensburg Journal, are Lee Way and his cousin, Ah Food. They are bright and intelligent, and are interesting characters. Of their earlier life in China they give very lucid accounts. Lee Way has been in the United States about 20 years, first locating in New York city. In his native country he has a wife and son, and he has made frequent visits to them since he first came to America. Lee received instruction in English before he crossed the Pacific, and he also attended school irf New York. Both he and his cousin receive weekly instruction at the hands of teachers of the Baptist Sunday school, and Lee especially has become proficient in his use of the English language. Ah Food has been in America only a few years, and has resided in Ogdensburg about a year. H'eTs'rnar-” tied, and his wife was left behimlTn his native land. Before coming to America Ah Foon was in school until he was IG. with English, tutors, but his knowledge of the language is meager. Until a few years ago there wce.o no women teachers in all China. Now there are many, and studentsare received until past the age of 35. There are many native teachers, as well as the missionaries, who come from foreign lands. The scholars-rit on high stools at desks and study aloud. At ten and twelve years the Chinese scholars can read and write very well. Every lesson is learned by note. The teacher always.retains possession of a punishing stick, and occasionally lazy or tardy scholars receive a few sound raps with it. The scholars are at school eerly in the morning, and it is not uncommon forboysto study ten hours-a day. That would seem a long time for American boys to devote tuMudy in a singla. day, but, according to Ah Foon. the juvenile Chinaman never grumbles at the long hours, and he-and hi?companions climb upon their stools and sing out their lessons all at the same time as loudly as they can. Vacation is always during the rice harvesting season. Then the beys fly kites and enjoy many other pastimes which are similar to those seen in America, such as walking on stilts, playing hideand . seek, blind man's buff and leapfrog. . “We have great fun fighting beetles, ] too,” said Ah Foon. “In China there j are no bad hoys like here. All boys ' are respectful to all older than themi selves. They do not,think it fun to i hurt other people's feelings. Ono thing I have seen here is a very old 1 trick in China. You see buys place ]a package <>n the sidewalk and when , some one rtuops to pick it up it i>gone, ] for there is a -'ring tied to it. and a, I little boy at the other end of the i string.”

ARMY MOBILIZATION.

How Railway Frojresj His Simplified Oae Military Problem. In 1870. from July 24 to August 4, a period of 11 days, Germany was able to convey in 1.520 railroad trains 19.299 utEcers, 556,000 soldiers, 101,881 horses and 16,883 cannon and baggage wagons to the seat of war. So great has been the progress made by Germany during the intervening 30’ years that she could at the present time transport the same number of men and the same quantity of war material to the sccneof action in from two to four days, which shows the enormous strategical importance of the railway. A great French military authority considers that by means of seven double-track railway lines, 1.440,000 men could be transported to the frontiers of Germany in 24 hours, and in 207 trains on each of the seven lines. 'Phis would be a total of 1,449 trains. Germany is not far behind France in this ability to mobilize troops,and 1,440 trains bearing 1.440,000 men can be dispatched from Berlin within 24 hours to any district of the empire, so that the two> great neighboring powers could mobilize great armies and begin war simultaneously with its declaration.
