Everybody reads The Democrat. Ed. Peacock, formerly of Laßue Bros, department store is now traveling for a Chicago wholesale bouse, with territory in Colorada. Lesh, residing on the W. P. Baker farm, north of town, was compelled to kill a calf yesterday, to put it out of its misery, that gave every indication of suffering from hydrophobia. The young man arrested at Goodland last week for housebreaking here the day of the Wallace show, is named Glacken, instead of Lackin, as stated by us last week. He has a number of friends about Brook who made some effort to get him out of jail on bail, but the amount, S3OO, was more than they cared to furnish. A Brook man awoke Thursday night and in the moonlight that streamed in through the window, saw a monster with five horns on the foot of his bed. He pulled a pistol from beneath his pillow and fired at it, and his wife uttered a piercing scream. The physician who was hastily called said she would probably lose one of her toes, but he hoped to save it.

Trusteed. M. Blue of Marion tp., advertises that he will give Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week to country work, Friday to poor work and Saturday to general office work. This leaves the poor man only Sunday to himself, and as there are but 313 working days in the year he can draw for this service at $2 per day only $626 per year. A report has gained currency that Bro. Schanlaub of the Morocco Courier, gained access to the Wallace shows here by carrying water to the elephant. This report is wholly without foundation in fact. He possibly would have done so rather than miss the show, but he was not under the painful necessity of doing so here, we having seen personally that he was supplied with a comp. The story of the locating by Mrs. Hickman of this city, of her father, Edward Appleton, in Lockesburg, Ark., was sent to the Cincinnati Enquirer by some one here and its publication resulted in the locating of another daughter, Mrs. Sarah Tulman of Battle Creek, Mich , who had not heard from her brothers or sisters in 30 years, none of them knowing her whereabouts

Howard Burr of Jordan tp, came home last week from the M. P. Conference at Hanfield, Ind. He reports a pleasant time and that Mr. La Bounty was returned to the Rensselaer Circuit. Mr. W. W. Linebury, who it will be remembered preached on this charge more than twenty years ago, was elected president of the conference and we hope to have him with us when we dedicate our church. There were between 350 and 400 ministers and delegates present. * dwelling on T. J. Sayler’s farm two miles west of town, occupied by George Markin, was destroyed by fire last Friday night, at about midnight. The occupants were awakened by the roaring of the Hames and escaped with a part of their clothing and managed to save a part of the household goods. There was no insurance on contents, but S3OO on the house, which with the windmill and summer kitchen destroyed was probably worth SBOO. It is not known how the fire originated.

“Every day a big day” is the way they are advertising the Lafayette carnival, Sept. 23 to 28, and past experience is proof that the program will be fulfilled. There are the horse show, free vaudeville, the mardi gras, the floral parade, the industrail exhibit and a half dozen other equally good attractons, all supplemented with a reproduction of the PanAmerican midway, the whole forming a list of attractions rarely ever equaled. Those of our people who enjoy carnivals—and they are legion- will surely arrange to see the Lafayette shows.

Several months ago two young men, of Rensselaer, were arrested in this city and fined for associating with improper characters. Frank Swatts acted as bondsman for the young men and they were released. One of them settled his account, but the other, Eugene Donnelly, faled to do so. On Wednesday Marshal Gurley went to Rensselaer and captured Donnelly and landed him in jail. Young Donnelly is now anxious to settle the old score but when he was arrested a revolver was found in bis pocket and he is now held to answer to<he charge of carrying concealed weapons.—Carroll County Citizen.
