Jim GOHWTY WDM. I. I BUBCOCK, IDIIOB lIP PUBUSHEB. Un Dinwea Tiumomi 1 Orrios. I Riooihi, an. Ofnolal Democratic Paper of Jaaper County. SI.OO PER YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Advertising rates made known on application Entered at the Post-office at Rensselaer, Ind. as second class matter. Office on Van Rensselaer Street, North of Murray’s Store.

The Democrat is five years old to-day. * The supreme court has held the minimum wage law of 1901, fixing the wage of unskilled labor on all public work at 20 cents per hour, unconstitutional. John F. Judy’s former man Friday, Samuel P. Hunter, recently convicted of the larceny of a livery stable arid sentenced to the penitentiary, has boon granted a new trial and will likely go free. Supreme Judges Dowling and Monks handed down a dessenting opinion on the validity of county auditors and county treasurers receiving extra pay for services on the board of review, and it is possible the court will yet reverse itself in this matter, in which event those officers who have received pay will have to disgorge. Another official of the postoffice department has been kicked out, and again the culprit is an Indiana man. It is said that Teddy has given out that no more Indiana republicans need apply for positions in the postoffice department. This is a rather hard blow for our republican friends even though they have been very unfortunate in the selection of the gentlemen who have secured the plums in that department. A dispatch from Fowlor says: Tho Rev. Father Honneborgor, of Sacred Heart church, preached a temperance sermon hero yesterday, which may result in a movement that will make Fowler a “dry” town, although it now has eight saloons. Tho sermon was tho most. scathing denunciation of the liquor traffic ever preached here. He said the saloon keepers were committing crimes against themselves and that u they were ashamed of their business when they erected screons. He arraigned gambling dens nt the rear of saloons and charged that liquor would be sold to a man until he was drunk nnd he would then be robbed. USE ROYAL POULTRY MIXTURE.

BEFORE TAKING-AFTER TAKING.

It was worth considerable to see “Honest Abe.” the conquering (?) hero, ceme into town last Friday on his return trip from Kentland. Abe, Clark, Marshall and the cow-puncher went by team to Remington, and left the rig there to drive back the next day. Abe did the driving going over and held the reins like a Padgett or a Billy Smith. On the return journey Clark and Marshall deserted Abe and returned via rail, and the cow-puncher had to drive the team home, while Abe, well wrapped in and blankets, was curled up in the roar seat, trying to figure out where ho was at. The cowpuncher held up until begot home, when he also experienced a severe sinking Bpell, and up to this date no issue of his last week’s weakly has been seen in the wastebaskets at the postoffice.

Robbed The Grave.

A startling Incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eves sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great Joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement, I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fall to try them. Only 60 cents, guaranteed, at A. F. Long’s.
