f Subscribe for The Democrat. Mrs. E. H. Shields went to Monticello yesterday to spend a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Lucy Malone. James Maloy was in Chicago the first of the week to attend the graduation of her son Dr. Bernard Maloy from a medical college.

We understand that “Jack Orr”, Frank 0. Meara’s running horse, will not be in the derby race at Chicago next month. The* horse iB now in Newton county, we are told Come in and buy a copy of The Democrat containing the smallpox cartoon Sind send it to your| friend, who lives at a distance. If he dont laugh good and hearty we miss our guess. is completely stamped out of Rensselaer. All quarantines have been raised and there are no cases in the county, so far as we can learn except two or thread mild ones at Fair Oaks. Mt. Ayr has one case, Wallie Jenkinson, but like all the others in this locality, it has been very mild.

Lute Hemphill, the blaoksmith, has invented a horse-stocks of his own, and he claims for it many good points over any heretofore invented. The machine is used in his shop and does the work very nicely. He has had the machine patented and will probably manufacture them and place them on the market.

y Not many business men advertise in the newspapers for other reason than it pays. They keep it up because it pays. The most successful merchants in any city are those who advertise in the newspapers. There may be exceptions but they are not one in a hundred. When virtually all successful men follow a certain policy it is reasonable to assume that it is a sensible and profitable policy. * D. A. Stoner has leased his mill to Wm. Day and James Flynn, and is now a gentleman of leisure, except for his poultry business. Mr. Stoner has had rather bad luck with some of his hatches this season owing to the blasting for the Makemself sewer. Two incubators of eggs were almost total failures, the chicks being killed in the shell from the shocks of the blasting, i Heavy thunder sometimes has a like effect on hatching eggs.

The Democrat is requested to state that the item in last week’s Republican regarding Geo. W. Tanner’s connection with the Hallagan cattle stealing cases should have went a little further, and stated that Mr. Tanner also said, while on the witness stand, that he (Tanner) assisted in the ronndingupand shipping of these cattle, and that some of the jnrors stated after the trial that Tanner’s own testimony branded him as guilty, in their opinion.

Tom Cain, the newly married restaurant man, had some trouble with his new faiher-in-law, Joseph B. Greiser of Remington, a few days ago over the ownership of some personal effects, and the latter had Tom arrested for assault and battery and taken to Remington. Tern took a change of venue and tne case has been sent here to Squire Irwin and will come up at 10 o’clock next Monday. Greiser opposed the marriage of his daughter to Tom, we understand, and this trouble is the outgrowth of same.

Friends and neighbors of Mrs. F. M. Hayes of Barkley tp., to the number of 38. came in upon her unannounced last Sunday and reminded her that it was her fiftieth birthday anniversary. The heavy rain in the morning kept quite a number away, but the thirty-eight who came brought along baskets filled with the good things which the thrifty housewives of Barkley know how to prepare, and an elegant spread was laid for everyone to partake of. The afternoon was spent very pleasantly, and on departing the guests wished Mrs. Hayes many returns of the day. exchange tells of a farmer who hired an experienced boy to Help him about the place. One morning he told the boy to go and salt the calf over in the pasture. The boy took about a quart of salt, rubbed it all over the calf, working it into the hair. A gang of colts in the .pasture scented the salt and got after the calf. They licked the bair off the calf’s back and tried to lick the hide off, too. The farmer tried to catch the calf to wash it. But the calf, thinking he wanted to lick, too, ran through a hole in the fence, and disappeared down the road, and was still running at last reports. ' v

The famous Moses Fowler Chase case has been sent to Benton county on change of venue. Young Chase is now at the home of Lee Dinwiddie, a Fowler attorney, Judge Hammond,formerly of this city, is a prominent attorney for young Chase. A search warrant was issued by Squire Irwin yesterday on complaint of Conrad Schaffer. It seems Schaffer had reserved a room in the house on the farm in Jordan tp., which he formerly worked, or owned, and had some household goods stored therein. He now finds the room has been entered and several dollars worth of the goods taken. The Fourth Quarterly Meeting of the Parr, Mission will be held at Dewdrop church, 3£ miles north of Gifford, beginning June 6th, 2p. m. Services that evening at 7:30; Sabbath morning, 10:30, and also at 2 p. m., June 7th; and at Gifford at 4 p. m., on the same day. O. P. Cooper, Presiding Elder. L. Byrd, Pastor.

The Democrat was in error last week in saving that H. M. Shipman would have home-grown strawberries on the market Monday. R. P. Benjamin had the first strawberries on the market. Mr. Shipman’s crop is practically a total failure this season, and he will have none to bring to town at all, we are informed. All our growers will have short crops this season.

?CThe Democrat presents its readers this week with a humorous cartoon on the late small-pox scare in Rensselaer, depicting some of the actual as well as some of the imaginary scenes and occurrences of those “trying times.” The cartoon is the work of Fred Irwin of this city, a son of exCounty Clerk James F. Irwin, and exhibits an nnusal degree of skill for an amateur. 4Jn fact, so much that we think the young man should cultivate . his talents in this line and give his whole attention to cartoon work. Should he do so there is little question but he would make a name for himself in the ranks of newspaper artists. Ms. J. C. Harris, cashier of the Rensselaer Bank, has broke ground for a handsome new eight room residence on South Division street, just south of and on the grounds of the Harris homestead at the east end of Washington The structure will he full two stories and basement, with all the modern improvements, includingfuruace heat, etc. It will be brick veneer and handsomely finished throughout. The old bam in the rear will be torn away and a new one erected further south and on the east side of the lots. Work on the new house will be pushed right along to completion when, it is confidently expected, Joe will follow the . example set by some other of Rensselaer’s old bachelors, and become a benedict.

AN OUTSIDER’S OPINION.

Monticello Herald: The Kankakee Valley Telephone, published at Wheatfield by ,W. H. Robertson, has suspended publication and the plant will be removed to Reddick, 111. During its existence the publisher courted success by blackguardism and resorting to such language as was suggestive of immorality in allsorts of phases. Some of the people thought that its course was “smart” and the publisher was a genius of the first water because of his lewd sayings and suggestive words, but ths failure of the publication to pay expenses is evidence that the majority of the Wheatfield people did not approve of Buch editorial work. It is also alleged that ths postal authorities were after ths publisher for publishing mattei which was unfit for mailing. Bs it as it may the paper died a deserving death. The man or men who hope to achieve success to-day by catering to the baser elements of society must surely make a failure.
