Never Has Any Firm Been Favored With Such a Business during the dull months of June and July. Our business is doubled what it was last year. The real causes are that we strive to please our customers, make the lowest prices, watch every detail of our business, buy in the largest and most convenient quantities, handle the most dependable brands, treat our customers courteously, and never permit competition to undersell us. |[fYW ft 91 i CUB!

New subscribers to The Democrat this week by postoffices: Milford, 111., 1; * Chicago, 111., 1; Lakin, Ran., 1. The circus bill posters were here Tuesday and covered the town* and surrounding country with flaming posters. In the McCoysburg-Franoes-ville ball game at latter place the 4th, the score was 19 19 0 in favor of Francesville. ; <n(While oats have improved considerably in the past two weeks, yet farmers are a unit in saying that the crop will be a light-one.
The large, handsome Stockton and Williams residences on North Division street have been brightened up with a new coat of paint. Two saloons at Brook and one at Foresman were defeated by the blanket remonstrance this week. This leaves Foresman dry and Brook but one saloon. It is said Cooney Kellner’s deal for a saloon at Hegewisch, 111., failed to go through, and he has bought a saloon at Grand Crossing and is now in possession of same. Street fairs have been tabooed in more towns this year than ever before, because of the immoral influences that have been permitted to follow with them.—Wolcott Enterprise. A number of the Rensselaer sports are said to have got into a free-for-all flight up at Water Valley Sunday, with the denizens of that burg. To much booze is said to have been the cause.
Up at Lowell they use strenuous methods in colleciing bills. John I'releaße, a merchant of that city, went after Edwin Moore, a delinquent debtor, with a gun, and in the discussion that arose Moore was shot at five times and dangerously wounded. Trelease was arrested. Marion I. Adams is agent for the Farmer's Mutual Insurance Co., of Jasper, Benton and White counties. Insurance now in force over $1,000,000. Farmers desiring policies in this company should call upon or address him at Rensselaer, Ind. if. 4siohn Poole has sold a 140 acre farm in Hanging Grove tp., to G. W. Michael of Logaasport, consideration $75 per sera and purchaser getting this year's crop, of the landlord’s rather. Mr. Poole took as part payment a hotel property at Goshem The sale was negotiated by B. O. Gardner.
.} “Jad” Hant won oat eb two cases last Monday. As attorney for Fred Granger, applicant for saloon license at Demotte, license was granted, while as attorney for the ‘‘anti” people of Kankakee tp., the remonstrance was sufficient to scare the applicant oat entirely, and be never put in an appearance with his application. say that they "never saw corn grow like it baa in the past two weeks. In spite of this, however, corn is very uneven all oyer thur section of the state, the earlier planting being breast high while that planted after the extreme wet spell ranges from six inches to a foot in height, and will require a late season to mature.
Charles Clift and WiU Woodworth got into an altaroaflfe over some trifling matter at Hi depot Sunday evening, and cla*ai and battered each other up eansiderably. They had been «p to Water Valley during the day, returning on the milk train, and too much “river water” is said to have been the principal- cause of the fracas. Over at Monticello there-elected county clerk’s old term has ended and his second term does not begin until Jan., 1,1904. The commissioners have appointed A. K. Sills, an attorney of that city, to fill the office during the interim. They also appointed Fred Obenchain, a young telegraph operator, recorder for a like period, when Charles Kleist, recorder-elect, will take the office.
r ’♦"Editor Schanlaub and attorney Graves were over from Morocco Monday. We understand that H. J. Bartoo of this city has bought the Courier of Mr. Schanlaub and will take possession In a few weeks. The Courier is a good plant, located in an excellent town, and we trust Bro. Bartoo will meet with the same financial success that has drowned Bro. Schanlaub’s newspaper career. -4-One of the automobiles that came through here a couple of weeks ago scared the horse of uncle John Grooms north of town and the animal turned square about in the road, throwing Mr. Grooms and wife from the buggy and bruising them up considerably, as well as breaking up the buggy and harness badly. If there is anything.more scary to a horse than an automobile, we hajp never heard of it, and drivers of these machines should use extra care when meeting teams.
Rensselaer people celebrated the 4th at various places, Fair Oaks, Water Valiev, Monon, Francesville and Goodland. The latter plaoe, of course, had the “big crowd” and they gave everything advertised, except the fireworks in the evening, which probably cost about $lO instead of S2OO. The high-diving horses were quite an attraction at Goodland, and it is said that between S2OO and S3OO was cleared on this feature alone. About $250 was the cost of getting the attraction there. The day was pleasant but warm, with a shower in the afternoon to lay the dust and cool the atmosphere for the home trip. During the five years of the present management of The Democrat four former lady typos of ours while at Remington have been happily married, while three young ladies employed by us here have also found good husbands; and atill another —perhaps two—if indications do not lie, will probably do likewise ere the end of the year. So many of our lady correspondents have been married that we have quit keeping tab on During the same period the Journal has had two typos to find husbands, but the Republican —sad to relate, but true —has not had one of its lady compositors marry for, 10, these many years! If the girls down there don’t go on a strike pretty soon we shall miss our guess.

LIVE IN STATE-ROOMS.
Something About the Comlorta Enjoyed by Wallace’s People. This is an age of Immense proportions, the soale of every project is being constantly enlarged. This is oertainly true of the circus business. An increase of eleven circus cars is equivalent to an increase ot twenty ordinary oars. The addition to Wal* lace’s trains this season include two sleeping cars, three horse cars, one storage and five flat cara. This is a fair sized freight train of itßelf. The sleeping cars of a circus are fitted with stationary berths that cannot be folded-away as in the Pullman. They are more commodious and comfortable than those in the palace cars. One of the additional sleepers required this year by the Wallace Show will be occupied by the famous Marion Zonaves. This is a crack military company from Indiana, composed of young men from the best homes of Marion. They are accustomed to the comforts of a good home and it was only by promising them a handsome sleeping car for their exclnsive use, that Mr. Wallace was able to contract with them. All who see the remarkable presentation of military tactics by these unequalled exponents of martial science will agree that Mr. Wallace used good judgment in secnring this company even if he had to boy them a car. The other extra sleeper was required because of additional performers and musicians. This, too, is a stateroom car and cost in the neighborhood of five thousand dollars. In order that he might prevail upon certain performers who bad never traveled with a circus to join his galaxy of stars, Mr. Wallace has had several stateroom cars built. If the readers could look in upon the occupants of these oottages on wheels, they would be surprised by the home like appearance of the home like appearance of the furnishings, the shelves of books and magazines, the cozy corners and the bric-brac. It all tends to make the life of the performers a pleasant one bat it is a very expensive undertaking for the circus manager. About the only complaint heard of the Great Wallace Show last season was that it was too big. There was

1 . ■ ■ too mnoh of it. In spite of this,' 18* * magnitude of thie show will be iWn * bewildering than ever thie year. In order to secure (he superior' talent, the new and original aots tobe seen with the Wallace Circus, it* was necessary that even for this jjpa r alone there shbnld be an outlay of. 930,000 above the allotted amoggfc There was no other if Mr. Wallace wanted the acta. When this modern, great tented* enterprise visits Rensselaer, on Saturday, July 25th, the universal verdict will be that such performers are titled to all the comforts of home.
