Read It in His Newspaper. George Schaub, a well known German Citizen ot New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton V'oikszeitung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain’s Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: “After using the rain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, ‘I feel as though born anew,’ and before using the entire con tents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could take up her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery. This valuable liniment is for sale by A. F. Long. 5 PER CENT. MONEY. Money to burn.

ONLV a woman. Only a woman, shivering and old, The prey of the winds and prey of the cold I Cheeks that are shrunken, Eye* that are sunken. Lips that were never o’er bold. Only a woman, forsaken and poor, Asking for alms at the bronze chur„h door. Hark to the organ-roll upon roll. The wares of its music go over the soul, — Silks rustle past her, Faster and faster; The great bell ceases its toll. Fain would she enter, but not for the poor Swingeth wide open the bronze church door. Only a woman, wailing alone, Icily cold on an ice cold stone. What do they care for her. Mumbling a prayer for her, Giving not bread, but a stone? Under rich laces their haughty hearts beat, MockiDg the woes of their kin in the street. Only a woman! In the old days Hope caroled to her the happiest lavs. Somebody kissed her. Somebody missed her, Somebody crowned her with praise, Somebody faced out the battle of life, Strong for her sake who was mother and wife. Somebody lies with a tress of her hair Light on his heart where the death shadows are; Somebody waits for her, Opening the gates for her. Giving delight for despair. Only a woman—nevermore! She is dead in snow at the bronze church door

Thomas Drives cf Barkley tp., has purchased the 4‘2-acre farm in his township known as the Pence farm, near Andrew Arnold’s. He receives this year’s crop. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Driver will remain in Jasper. entire corps of Rensselaer ttmfchers in the grades and high school has been re-elected for the ensuing year; all have accepted with the exception of Miss Lessie Bates, 4th grade teacher, whose intention it is to resume her studies at the State Normal.

Now that the county officers have investigated the taxpayers to find out whether or no the taxpayers have been paying in all the taxes they should have paid, will the taxpayers still refuse to investigate the county officers to find out what becomes of the money after they have paid it into the county treasury?

Attorney Jesse Wilson and Court Reporter Walker showed their versatility recently by drawing up plans and specifications for a fine city residence for some friends of theirs. The plans were not so bad, but the specifications were wonderful, and somewhat puzzling to the builders. If the specifications are followed to the letter it promises to be the best “jointed” and most “popular” floored dwelling in Rensselaer.

For the commencement exercises at the opera house Thursday night the boxes were reserved for for the press—one for the Journal editor and The Democrat editor and their better halves, and the other ditto for the Apologist editor and the oow-pnnoher. From oar box we failed to observe the preseuee of the two latter gentlemen, and we are constrained to believe that they spurned the courtesy of the school board and did not attend.

ELLIS & MURRAY HAVE DECIDED TO DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP. A Dissolution Sale Will commence Monday, May 20 and continue until the stock is reduced to an agreed amount. Everything in the stock will be sold at Reduced Prices.

Quite a good many prominent citizens from the out-townships, have been hub visitors the past week, as a result of the tax-ferret investigation. They are “rounding up” the out-townships first, it seems, and will no doubt leave Rensselaer until the last. By this means the outside people must paddle their own canoe, as the hub people will hardly care to mix in, thinking, no doubt, that they are to escape suspicion altogether. When the electricity is turned on here, if it is, pandemonium will will reign supreme. Babcock <fc Hopkins have closed upa deal with uncle David Nowels whereby they become owners of the lots and the old elevator near the depot, and their new elevator will be erected upon the site of the old one. The work ofdismanteling the old elevator is in progress at this writing. Mr. Nowels has traded the milling machinery off and it is being shipped to Burnettsville, White county. The old location is a much better one for an elevator, and Messrs. Babcock & Hopkins are wise in making a deal for it rather than building on the street west.

A. M. Bushong of Barkley tp., was arrested last Friday on complaint of his wife, who charges him with threats to do her bodily injury. He had a hearing before Esq. Burnhain and his bond fixed at S4OO, in default of which he was remanded to jail. Bushong is a a soldier of the Spanish-American war, and is thought by many to be partially insane. He is said to have not Only threatened his wife’s life but also that of her mother, Mrs. Henkle, with whom they were living, anil did assault Oeuigw Henkle, his brother-in-law. They were married about a year ago, and his wife recently gave birth to twin hoys, and was lying upon a bed of sickness when the threats were i.mde.

Ti • special term of court convened to try the famous Halligan cattle case, adjourned Saturday noon and did not reconvene until Thursday morning, Judge Lairy's return having been prevented until that time. Court took up Thursday morning but owing to juror A. K. Yeoman being incapacitated to serve by reason of inflamatory rheumatism, and the unwillingness of the defendants to go ahead with eleven jurors or the plaintiff to accept another continuance, Judge Lairy discharged the jury and this interesting case will come up anew at the September term and be tried by the regular panel. Mr. Yeoman went to Indiana Mineral Springs for treatment Thursday.

B. J. Gifford was in the city Monday on business. In conversation regarding his railroad plans he stated that the “oil linebranch,” running from Gifford northeasterly about four miles, would be completed in about two weeks. He also stated that he intended to work this season on the northern extension of the main line, extending it across the Kankakee to a point in Lake county to connect with other lines. He was as non-committal as usual regarding his plans for extending the main line south or building the branch to Rensselaer, but intimated that he would let the matter rest until the dear people were more anxious to receive the blessings that he would bestow upon them.

Memorial day passed off quietly in Rensselaer, and was less observed generally than usual, few of the business houses closing up during the services. Owing to the cold, backward spring, flowers were much less plenty than in former years and some of the orders that had intended to take part in the exercises did not do so on this account. The newly organized G. A. R. post and the W. R. C., went out to the cemetery in the early morning and quietly decorated the graves, while the old G. A. R. order and the Milroy Circle, accompanied by the band and K. of P. order, went out in the afternoon, at which time the speaking took place. The day was oola, bat there was no rain.

Mrs. George Stoudt and "infant son, of Remington, were the guests of Mrs. F. E. Babcock, yesterday. Friends of The Democrat are again reminded that the publication of all non-resident notices, notice of appointment, administrator and guardian sales, notices of survey, etc., are controlled by the parties having the work done, and they can give The Democrat a lift by having such publication made in its columns. Our charges are more reasonable by—reason of our resorting to no padding to increase the space, than others—for this work, and we will appreciate the kindness if you will insist on your attorneys placing such advertising with us. Don’t forget this when you have any legal publications. The lawsuits of Jacob Dluzack et al vs. James A. May and son, have been withdrawn, says the Wolcott Enterprise. The cases grew out of the Mays, father and son, brutally assaulting Jacob Dluzack, an aged Milroy tp., farmer, about two years ago for an alleged theft of corn from the Mays’ crib. The matter has been in the courts since that time, both here and in M bite and Carroll counties. Recently Mr. Dluzack secured a judgment against the elder May in the Carroll circuit court for SBOO damages. Other damage cases by other members of Dluzack’s family were still pending, but by the terms of the compromise, which we are unable to learn, these cases are dropped, it is said.

BREVITIES OF FUN.

Author —“I am troubled with insomnia. I lie awake at night hour after hour, thinking about my literary work.” Friend—“ How very silly! Why don’t you get up and read some of it ?”—Glasgow Daily Times. “Father, may I give that poor blind beggar a penny?” “Yes, my son; hers is one.” “Father, does it hurt to be blind?” “No, my child. Why do you ask?” “Well, then, perhaps I had better keep the penny.”—Pick-Me-Up. Miss Meeker—“lt’s very flattering, Mr. Cadleigh, to have you ask me for so many dances, but what will your fiancee think?” Mr. Cadleigh—“O, she’ll be crazy; that’s what I am doing it for. We’ve quarreled, you know.” —Philadelphia Press. “What do you saippose that absurdly conceited woman did in church yesterday?” “Well, what?” “She took off her hat.” “Why did she do that?” “She was afraid nobody would pay any attention to the minister if sho kept it on.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The poet waxed eloquent. “And do you remember the last great sonnet that I submitted? I tell you, there was fire in those lines.” Th« editor looked up. “Really? Well, oome to think of it, I do remember seeing the office boy light his cigarette with them.”—Philadelphia Record. “No,” said the self-contained man, “I very rarely make predictions that are not cheerful.” “But don’t yo* think it is your duty to warn people if you have the power?” “Not often. People won’t pay any attention to warnings, and the only result is that you make them feel badly twice; one* when I make the prediction andegein when it comes true.”— Washington Star.
