Goodland’s first move in the county seat fight should be to hire the Rensselaer Foot Ball Bulletin to keep good and still—that is, unless the Bulletin favors Kentland.—Morocco Courier.

At the Democratic State Committee meeting at Indianapolis last Saturday, Juue 4th was decided upon os the date for holding the State convention. Joseph Reily, of Jennings county, has been selected for secretary of the state committee, and Thomas Taggart for treasurer.

Referring to The Democrat editor’s lawsuit against the county commissioners, tried nt Monticello last week and resulting in favor of the former, the White County Democrat says: “There is no doubt but Mr. Babcock’s claim was a just one. The matter was set up in the usual form prevailing in all newspaper offices, and in strict conformity with the law. The Commissisners in arbitrarily cutting a just bill have piled up a big bill of costs for the people to pay.”

The Halleck Telephone Co., seem to have been unceremoniously bounced from Newton county. The Morocco and Brook exchanges have cut out the?Hnlleck Co., and hooked onto the Jasper County Co., by which arrangements they are enabled to give their subscribers an excellent outside service, something they could not do when connected with the former lines. The Halleck Co., reached Kentland and Goodland through Brook, and now, of course is completely shut out of both those towns as well as Morocco, except a toll station at the latter place.

Not only are the newspapers of the Philippines muzzled, but so blbo are those of the United States. Senator Lodge has seen tit to exclude from the rooms of the Philippine Committee, before which Governor Taft is testifying, all newspaper representatives except those of the three principle press associations. In admitting the latter he appreciates that he is safe from adverse criticism as they all serve many republicans as well as democratic papers and, therefore, dare not report many facts which would offend republican editors, as to do so would be ‘•to run counter to the business office.”

To a few people tho decision of the President on the appeal of Admiral Schley came as a disappointment bat it had been expected by the majority. Few men are capable of rising far above their surroundings and of acting in entire opposition to their political advi-er , >in 1 tvi lently the Preaident iH not one of them. At the same time it should bo remembered that the Admiral did not appeal to the President on those points which the public would have been glad to see the President compelled to review. Tho actions and attitude of Admiral Sampson, from his arrogant message announcing tho destruction of the Spanish fleet down to his approval of the infamous history, written by laborer Maclay, have been tho chief causes of the resentment of the people and those have never been touched on by Admiral Schley or his attorneys in their requests for justice. Secretary Long will soon step out of the Cabinet and tho American people will continue to show their appreciation of Admiral Bchley the man and tho naval officer, but officially the incident is doubtless closed.

FLORIDA LETTER.

Thelma Go., Fla., Feb .18 Editor Democrat:— We have at last reached the end of our journey—the turning around place. When we next start we will go towards home. We are very comfortably settled in a house with a big roaring fire in the fire-place. The weather has been very cold and disagreeable for three days—a Nor-Wester that was fairly icy. Today the wind has subsided and is working into the south while the sun shines nice and warm.

We are still longing for a fill of bear steak. The party of bear hunters of last week found lots of “old signs” of bear that had been out during the warm weather but were denned up again on account of the cold, so they only camped down one night in the swamps and came home next morning and went fishing at the mouth of Fish Creek. They made one strike in a deep hole with the gill net and caught 16 nice fish—mullet and sheepahead. We are going fishing to-morrow if the weather is pleasant. We find our friend, Mr. Clark, not in very good health but trying hard to get well enough to go hunting with us

Last Saturday Mrs. 8., where we were camped, had a rail-split-ting, a “workin,”’ as they called it. There were great preparations made for the occasion. There are in the family two grown sons, Rabe the old bachelor, who is “sorter puny” and has a misery in his heel-string, and a younger son 23 years old, 6 foot 2 in his stockings and so constitutionally tired that all he can do is to shove his knees under his mother’s table and live off her little pension. Besides these two she has three orphan grand-children to support. She killed a hog for the occasion and, being out of flour and none to be had at the store, she borrowed fifty cents worth of us, and made up a great lot of what she called potato custard but we would call it sweet potato pie. She cooked about three quarters of the piny woods hog, made dumplings with it, baked sweet potatoes and corn bread, cooked grits and made coffee. That, with Florida syrup, constituted the bill of fare, and was a very nice dinner for this country. All this cooking and baking was done with covered cook pots and spiders over a fire out-doors on a little platform built up above hog and dog level and covered with sand. Well, two men came about eight o’clock in the morning, two more men, two women and a girl came about ten o’clock, and at noon one more man came. They all stayed for dinner and supper and split 500 rails. The common price for splitting rails is 40 cents a hundred so she got two dollars’ worth of work done. The younger sou staid out with the men and pretended to work while the older one went turkey hunting with Mr. Myers and nearly walked his legs off till they were nearly home then he took “the hurtin in his heel-string” and crippled in home. They did not get any turkeys but Rabe still hopes that by the help of the Good Master they will get one yet. There was a married daughter visiting them last week who is in an “interesting condition” and she bought three bottles of laudanum to use during her sickness. She wanted some sugar mighty bad but could lyot get a ctiance to send for it. She said dry sugar was a heap better in sickness than syrup, so we gave her some of our sugar to save for the occasion and she started home happy, in an ox wagon, sitting on a box, for a two days trip, with three little children, the oldest one six years old. She also had a quarter’s worth of snuff to keep her spirits up. Our wagon and outfit seems to be a great curiosity to the most of them. One evening Mrs. M., fed, curried and blanketed the horse while Mr. M. was out hunting and the children all crowded around and watched the operation, and when it was finished one little girl, after a straight spit at a mark, said “Gentlemen! that’s the first time in my life I ever seed a creeter wrapped up.” Even Mrs. M’s explanation, that that was the horse’s night-gown, seemed to puzzle them. Myers <fc Myers.

Mrs. C. E. Van Deusen, of Kilbourn. Wis„ was atHlcted with stomach trouble and constipation for a long time. She says, “I have tried many preparations hut none have done me the good that Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets have." These Tablets are for sale at A. F. Long's drug store. Price, 3fc.

U ncle Sam’s Mail Service requires physical and mental ability of high degree to withstand its hard labors. The high tension to which the nervous system is constantly subjected, has a depressing effect, and soon headache, backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, etc., develop in severe form. Such was the case of Mail Carrier S. F. Sweinhart, of Huntsville, Ala., he says: “An attack of pneumonia left me with muscular rheumatism, headache, and pains that seemed to be all over me. I was scarcely able to move for about a month when I decided to give Mile*’ Pain Pills and Nerve Plasters a trial. In three days I was again on my route and in two weeks I was free from pain aad gaining in flesh and strength.’ 1 B*l4 by all Druggists. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

A Printer Greatly Surprised.

"I never was so much surprised in my life, as I was with the results of using Chamberlain's Pain Bain says Henry T. Crook, pressman of the Asheville (N. C.) G.-zette. •‘1 contracted a severe case of rheumatism early last winter by getting my feet wet. I tried several things for it without, benefit. One day while looking over the Gazette, I noticed that Pain Balm was positively guaranteed to cure rheumatism, so bought a bottle of it and before using two thirds of it my rheumatism had taken its flight and 1 have not had a rheumatic pain since.” Sold by A.
