Commissioner of Pensions Wnre t-ays that legislation enacted by the last session of Congress will result in at least 10,900 new pensioners. The number of pensioners on July 1 of this year was 999,446. This shows a steady growth of the roll for a nu mbor of years,

The state board of tax commissioners has fixed the n6sescrnents of the 354 miles of lines owned by the Jasper County Telephone Co., at £45 per mile. From some cause tho Halleck Telephone Co., (“Honest Abe’s” lines) do not appear in tho list published. Of other corporations doing business in Jasper county the Monou main track is increased S4OO per mile over last year and the Adams express company is increased SSO per mile.

Number 1, volume 1, of the Newton County Star, Henderson Ar Shepherd, publishers, renched our table. Saturday. It is a neat, newsy 7-column quarto, and starts out with a liberal amount of advertising. This is tho new republican paper started at Goodland, the principal mission of which is to ui\e the republican candidate for judge, an organ in Newton county, it is alleged. If this is its mission it will probably succeed, that far. but from what we know of (-torsiland and Newton county from several years residence there, we can sec nothing hopeful for the new paper, and we believe it will prove an expensive experiment to its promoters and financial backers. The field seemed pretfv well filled in Newton county for republican papers without the addition of the Star. However, as long as people continue to travel down tho pike “from Missouri,” they needs must be “showed,” and we guess Bro. Kitt is equal to the emergency.

We learn on very good authority that Robertson No. 2. of the Wheatfield Telephone, is seeking the republican nomination for county clerk two years hence. He already has the support of “Honest Abe,” it is said, who declares him “a man after my own heart.” B. D. Comer of Union tp., was long ago promised the nomination, we understand, and—then, there’s the Blues. But, with Abe as his champion, “Hinkey Dink” expects to knock the persimmons.

J. J. Wheat, a Chicago man, who believes that Indiana peat beds are to be a source of the future fuel supply in the state, called on Governor Durbin yesterday and gave an enthusiastic account of some investigations he had recently made in the peat beds. He says that in Starke county alone there are 120 acres of peat having an average depth of more than forty feet. He believes that when the gas supply is exhausted peat can be used more successfully than coal. He came here to confer with State Geologist Blatchley, but the latter is away from the city.-—lndianapolis Sentinel.

Captain William Guthrie, the Democratic nominee for congress in this district, is truly one of the people. He has carved out his own career in the faco of distressing poverty. His mother died when he was a little child. His father, Dr. William Guthrie, a highly respected physician, died when he was only fifteen, leaving him without niorney to fight the battle of life. He worked for a long time as a farm hand in the country near here at cents a day. He managed to read a good deal and to acquire enough information to enable him to teach school. He studied law at Idaville, near here, in a room almost barren of furniture. He was elected county superintendent and when his term expired he removed here to piactice law. The foundation of his remarkable oratorical ability was laid in the cross-roads literary societies, where he was known as a star performer. He is a descendant of John Quincy Adams and a relative of Ossian Guthrie, the noted civil engineer of Chicago, Capt. Guthrie can make a snare drum talk and he is fond of base ball. He is a great student of human nature and it is said that his estimates of men, formed on first impressions, are always accurate. —Louis Ludlow in Indianapolis Sentinel.

The Democrat publishes this week the annual estimates of nine of the thirteen township trustees of Jasper county—the 6 democratic and 3 republican trustees. The law requires that these publications be made in the two leading papers published in the county representing the two leading political parties. Notwithstanding the fact that the Barnacle was long, long ago repudiated by the democrats of Jasper county and is neither recognized as a democratic paper by either the county, district or state committees, and has practically no circulation whatever and not a dozen copies of tho sheet goes into the homes of democrats in the county, four republican trustees take it upon themselves to consider it a democratic sheet and make their publications therein. Why, not one of itsads(?) are pay advertisements, but have been copied from the other papers without any authority whatever, in the cow-puncher’s effort to make people believe he was being patronized by business men. Both foreign and home advertisers know that tho sheet is a nonenity and nobody pretends to read it. Except for the non-resi-dent and other “legnls” received from republican attorneys and officials, it has no advertising patronago whatever, and an inspection of the fee book in tho circuit court clerk’s office shows that in every one of the former notices for years the entry, “this foe paid bv Blank <V Blank, attorneys for plff,” or “transferred to Blank A Blank is made, which, in plain English, means that the attorneys have paid him probably one-tenth or one-fourth tho rate allowed by law. and the claim is tiled for the full legal rates and is so paid by the litigants This plan would otiabln nn attorney, in addition to charging his client a good liberal fee. to make a nice rake-otT on the legale a most disreputable business. both on the part of any attorney or publisher. And yet a few republican officials have tho eternal gall to say that such a rag is a democratic paper.

A Physician Healed. Dr. Geo. Ewing, a practicing physician of Smith’s Grove, Ky., for over thirty years, writes his personal experience with Foley’s Kidney Cure: ’’For years I had been greatly bothered with kidney and bladder trouble and enlarged prostrate gland. I used everything known to the profession without relief, until I commenced to use Foley’s Kidney Cure. After taking three bottles I was entirely relieved and cured.

AI9WWW > TRAVELING MAN came into the Argus <[ a office last week and said: “I cannot sell ; i any goods here because the dealers com* <> / 1 ! ► plain that so many people patronise the mail <> > order houses of the large cities. I wish you <, —! > would preach them a sermon through your w/vv'w paper on the subject and give the folks who t Hf / <’ trade with mail order houses a good raking c ) h over.” . He was a good business man and c > < j I’ knew what he was talking about, but he / 3 ;> did not understand local conditions in this tj I city. Had he read the Argus he would h <[ have known that it had persistently preached “patronize your home dealer.” No man has any right to send abroad for goods he can purchase in Carlinville. Every dollar you send *to Wontgomery Mard & Co., or Rears, Sawbuck & Co., is a damage to yourself. Your home dealer has to carry a smaller stock on account thereof, pay less taxes and give less for public improvements and enterprise. Should you write to Chicago and ask one of the great mail order houses to give you ten dollars to help pay your preacher, or help build a new church, they would laugh at you. What do you buy of them for? They care naught for you aside from the money you send them. They pay no taxes here, support no schools nor churches, give not one cent to help you in anv way, yet you patronize them. Why ? Simply because you think they sell you goods cheaper. Simply because they are continually advertising in the daily and weekly newspapers, in their catalogues and by personal letters, telling you what they have, describing the excellence of their goods and their cheapness. This brings us back to the other side of the question. There are several business houses in Carlinville whose stocks and business would justify them in spending S2OO more each year in intelligent, sensible advertising. There are several more who could profitably spend SIOO or more for the same purpose. Do they do it? No, notone-third of that amount. Ask them for an ad and they say, “Oh, everybody knows me, I don’t have to advertise.” Or, perhaps, they will put in an ad at $1 or $2 a month and try to tell all about a SIO,OOO stock in it and not change it for a year. No wonder they think advertising doesn’t pay. Did you ever see a modern business man who did not pay as much attention to his advertising department as to any other? Does the man behind the counter think the man on the other side is going to make a purchase amounting to very much without first comparing prices? The da)s are past when the purchaser “handed” the seller his money and let it go at that. And in this day of progress the man who does not advertise his business has no business to be in business. The Argus is in every way equipped to help the merchant along this line. No sensible man will say the Argus is not thoroughly circulated and intelligently read throughout the entire county. That indeed would be an “aspersion,” and aspersions are dangerous things to monkey with this hot weather. We sell the space to you Mr. Carlinville merchant, for ten cents an inch, and give you a discount on that if you take it for a year. Don’t sit around and say it is the people’s fault because they send their money away. It is largely your own. Tell the people in plain language what you have and the price thereof. You can and do sell as cheap as the Chicago house. Take good, generous space and change it two or three times a month. Devote one-half as much time to your advertising as you do to other lines of your business and note the result.— Macoupin County Argus. The Democrat commends the above very sensible article to the merchants and citizens of this place. If the local merchant wants the help of the local papers he should help the local papers in return. And if he have good, common, ordinary horse sense, he will patronize those of the local papers which enjoy the largest circulation and independence. If you want a fellow to hit for you, you should get the hardest hitter obtainable. The Democrat, for instance, is its own boss, speaks its own mind, and is here to stay for the next two hundred years.

Nobility Recommends Nervine. The above portrait is that of Countess Mogelstud, of Chicago, 111., whose gratitude for the benefit received from the use of Dr. Miles’ Nervine prompted her to make this statement: "It affords me great pleasure to add my testimony to the very excellent . merits of Dr. Miles’ Nervine.

I consider it the best cholera mediciue in the world.” There is no need of employing a doctor when this remedy is used, for no doctor can prescribe a better medicine for bowel complaint in any form either for children or adults.
