It is rumored that a new National bank will be established in Goodland in a short time. The names of Goodell Bros. Lodi, 111, Bond and Curtis, of Fowler, and others, are mentioned in connection with the new enterprise. Efforts are being made to lease the new Wilson corner for the institution.—Goodland Herald. B. S. Fendig is having the basement of his new poultry house fixed up with modern improvements for handling poultry and eggs. The whole basement is also being cemented so that it can be flushed out and kept clean and neat. When completed it will be one of the most complete establishment of its kind in this section of the country. Mirs. Frank Dart of Sheldon, 111., was in the city last week visiting relatives and looking for some trace of Ora Brady, a Sheldon chicken-buyer and huxster who on j July sth left a wife and children j at Sheldon and is supposed to have eloped with Mrs ; Dart’s 17-year-okl daughter by a former I marriage. pCThe couple met at I Kankakee, TH., by appointment, it is understood, and it was not thought they had gone far away. Mrs. Dart finally got trace of the couple near Brook, where they had been camping for a week, but on her arrival there it was found that they had pulled out. P. Honan, U. M. Baughman and F. E. Babcock attended the democratic joint-representative convention at Hammond last Saturday, Jasper had no candidate, and the nomination went to Fred L. Whitelaw of Hammond, at present a member of the city school board, and a most estimiable gentleman. ( \He stands very highly with the labor element and the masses of the people generally. He is a self-made man, having risen from the ranks to the position he occupies to-day by his I own exertions ami manly worth. He will carry Lake county by a good majority, it is predicted.

Two new subscribers—one at Rensselaer and one at Sharon have been added to The Democrat’s list this week, even though it has been a dull week. The people appreciate a paper that prints the news without fear or favor and dares to speak out against wrong-doing no matter how highly entrenched it may be. \\ hile a little courage in persisting in this policy may lose it a few pennies from those who are always looking for an opportunity to “work’’ the dear people for their own personal gain, it means dollars from those who believe in that good old democratic doctrine of “equal justice to all and special privileges to none.” rsL’he first new oats to be delivered to Babcock & Hopkins’ Rensselaer elevator came in Saturday. G. B. Lewis of near Vai ma. hauled the first and Andy Ropp the second. The oal» are quite green and damp as yet anil badly off color, so that it is impossible to say how they will weigh out at this time or will test a little later.' The oats now being marketed are run through the bleacher and come out with good color. Messers. Babcock & Hopkins have an advantage over other grain buyers by reason of having one (there are but three in the entire state) of these bleachers, and grain that otherwise would bring but a very meager price can be made to pass muster by running them through this machiqe.
