Latest reports from Miss Maggie Walters of Victor, Col., state that she is improving nicely. She had run a sliver in her hand aud blood poison resulted. For a time her life was dispaired of. It is uow reported that Attorney Don tint will locate some place in Oklahoma, but no one seems to to know at what point Mr. Douthit left here about weeks ago and his family left on Tuesday of this week The Democrat desires to call the attention-of its readers to the ad of the Rational Remedy Go., of Rensselaer, mention of which was made by us last week. The company is made up of well known and responsible business men of our city and the remedies it is puting out are the result of careful study and experience as to results. We wish this new enterprise much success in a field that always has room for one more atthe top.

Managerr Ellis is entitled to a vote of thanks from the theatregoing public for the many exceptionabiy good attractions bitted this season. The five lecture course numbers w’ere all good, and of the many regular theatrical companies appearing here during the season, all were above the average while a number were the best that ever showed in Rensselaer. Chief among the latter were “The Missouri Girl,” “Side Tracked" “McCarthy’s Mishaps,” “Sun’s Minstrels,” and “Hans Hansen. late lamented legislature passod an act requiring the printing of 35 copies of the acts of the assembly for each 1,000 population. This is many, many more than heretofore priuted, but was no doubt necessary on account of the new fish law. Every wise fisherman before starting out on a piscatorial expedition should slip a copy of the acts of the late general assembly in his grip and keep it before him at all times to be on the safe side. Some enterprising printer might reap a fortune by getting up a “fish blank” which could be used by the fisherman in checking off the number of fish of each kind he is now allowed to land each day.

Cowgill & Worland have moved into their new building on the east side of the public square. C. H. Vick has moved his news, fruit and confectionary.-store into the rooms they vacated. It is reported that Miss. Allie Day of this city, and O. H. McKay, a former employe of the Rensselaer laundry, were married at Plymouth, where the groom is now employed, last Sunday. and Mrs. D. L. Richardson have moved to Wingate, where they will make their home with their daarughter, Mrs. Charles Postil. Greo. Colvert will occupy their property on North Cullen street. It was reported here a few days ago that Mrs. Myrtle Pulver Veach now of Hammond, was about to die of peritonitis. She died Thursday night about 11 o’clock. She leaves an infant about ten days old. Donnelly, the onion grower, struck it rich again with his last season’s crop. He raised about 5.000 bushels on fifteen acres of of ground. He sold some of these for 84 cents per bushel, but about 3,000 bushels brought him $1 12, while the 1,000 bushels he has left he will get about $1.40 to $1.50 for, thus the average on the whole crop will be about ♦ 1.20 to $1.25 per bushel. Not bad for fifteen acres of ground, is it?

W. D. Harlow, late of the Monon News, was in the city a few hours Wednesday and made us a fraternal call. Bro. Harlow gave the people of Monon a mighty good local paper, but his efforts never received the recognition they deserved. He expects to again engage in the newspaper business but aB yet has not decided upon the location. The Democrat hopes that his lines may be cast mid pleasant and prosperous surroundings. We understand that the widow of the late James W T . Pierce contemplates leasing the large farm owned by deceased and will probably move to town. The insurance and persoual property left, by Mr. Pierce will be about sufficient to wipe out all incumbrance on the farm and pay all outstanding debts, leaving the widow and children the big farm, worth $15,000 to $20,000, clear This will bring in a handsome income annually and will no doubt continue to increase in value,

Valparaiso College and The Northern Indiana Normal School at Valparaiso, Indiana, will open its spring term April 2. This Institution has been unusually prosjrerous and has done great good for the teachers in the state. It is now thoroughly equipped in every way. During the past year it erected a new science hall which will accommodate 400 students at one time, or 1,200 in a single day. During the spring and summer sessions they have all of their regular classes and in addition to these, review classes, so that students may take regular work, or review, or part of each, as may be desired, one tuition paying for all. A large unmber of students from this county always attend. Harry Butler retnrned ’Wednesday from his visit in southern Indiana. He is very favorably impressed with North Vernon and that -part —of —Jennings county visited, which was only a small portion. He says Col. Spoor’s farm of 300 acres within sight of town, is a valuable tract, and has 45 acres of fine timber on it. The weather was fine and dust fiying. Spoor took advantage of this condition to make Harry believe that the coldest winters down there were naught but a summer’s dream, and that mosquitos are worst about holidays; he also disabused Harry's mind of the idea that natives down there raise moss on their chins instead of whiskers. Mr. Spoor is building a large barn on hia place, all from lumber out of timber from his own farm.— Goodland Herald. “My heart was badly affected by an attack of grip and I suffered intense agony until I began taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure. It made me a well man.”—B. D. Holman, Irasburg, Vt.

$450-00 and Costs.

The above is the verdict in the case of W. B. Burford vs board of commissioners of Jasper county, tried in White circuit court this week. This case, it will be remembered, was brought by Mr. Burford nearly two years ago t 6 recover pay for books and stationery furnished this county on order of certain county officers, to wit: J. C. Gwin, N. J. Reed, H. B Murray and L. H. Hamilton. These supplies were ordered and received by the said officers, according to Mr. Harford’s complaint, during the year of 1898, when the county had a contract with Wilson, Humphries & Co , of Logansport, to furnish all supplies of this nature for the sum of $1,450 and pnid the said firm the full-amount of said said contract price. The county commissioners, no doubt owing to the publicity The Democrat had given this matter, refused to allow Burford’s claim. As the county had contracted for and paid for all supplies required of another firm, it is claimed by well ported attorneys that the officers exceeded their authority in order ing supplies of Mr. Burford and are personally liable on there bond for wh a fever supplies they have ordered. If so, steps should be taken at once to bring them to time in this matter. It is not right for Jasper County to be compelled to pay for two sets of books and stationery, and only receive one set, simply because certain of her public officers wished to favor two stationery firms at the expense of the taxpayers. It will be well renlembered in this connection that when The Democrat exposed this stationery steal, during the campaign of ’9B, the padded legal gentleman who presides over the destinies of the Official Apoligist denounced us as a liar from Liarsville, but like every other statement The Democrat has made concerning the conduct of county business, time has proven that the liar was the other fellow and that The Democrat told the truth.

'f'The funeral of ex-President Harrison will take place at Indianapolis to-morrow. at 2 p. in. President McKinley aud cabinet and many other high officials will attend. The remains will lie in state to-day from 11 a. m., to 10 p. m., and the military demonstration will be held to-day, the Indiana national guard being in attendance. Railroads have made half-fare rates and an immense throng will be in Indianapolis today and to-morrow.

The grand jury indictments against Dr Mary Jnekson of Hammond, for abortion on the person of Miss Mary Nagel of Rensselaer, were qtTashedin the Lake Superior court YY’ednesdny morning as defective. The girl refused to make new affidavits, but finally her father, Michael Nagel, made the affidavit. The defense asked for change from Judge Tuthill, and the case was continued to Thursday. At the hour of going to press we learned by telephone that a jury had not yet been secured. A Williamsport dispatch says: Mrs. Christiana Shrimptin of Jasper County has tiled suit in the YY'arren Circuit Court to recover $25,000 from John F. Judy, originator and promoter of the socalled “Judy system” of money lending. She charges that Samuel Hunter, one of Judy’s agents, came to her home to foreclose a chattle mortgage on personal property, and that he seized a set of harness not included in the mortgage, and in the struggle to recover her property she was thrown to the ground and injured.
