Grip Brought On Sciatic Rheumatism. Nervous Prostration Followed. Dr. Miles* Nervine Gave B&cK Health. ’ “I was laid up during the winter of 94-95 with sciatic rheumatism and nervous prostration brought on by a severe attack of LaGrippe. The rheumatic pains were so severe at times that it was impossible for me to turn in bed. I was unable to sleep. I had two of our best physicians in attendance, took all the advertised remedies for troubles of this kind but got no help whatever until I took Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. Six bottles restored me to health; I am better than for years; in fact am entirely relieved. I can say with a clear conscience that it was Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine that restored me to health. When the pains of sciatica and rheumatism were most severe I secured almost immediate relief by the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. I have recommended Dr. Miles’ Remedies to many people."—Fred Myers, Redfield, S. D. “I was taken with pain in my, heart and under the left shoulder; with such heavy oppressed feeling in my chest .that I could nardly breathe. I had palpitation so bad and my heart would throb so that it would shake my whole bed. I also had a weak, allSone feeling in the region of my heart My octor treated me tor liver and stomach trouble but I failed to receive any benefit until a friend recommended Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure and Restorative Nervine. I used both and one box of the Anti-Pain Pills. I believe I am completely and permanently cured..”— Mrs. J. W. Golding, Noblesville, Ind.

Local and Personal. Corn 46c; oats, 33c. Wheat 65 cents; rye, 40 cents. Funeral cards always in stock at this office. An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office. Another dollar excursion to Chicago, to-morrow. Train schedule same as formerly. A ball game between Brook and Rensselaer ball teams took place at Riverside park Sunday afternoon; score 14 to 7 in favor of Rensselaer. Callen street is having a boom this season. There has already been built or are in course of building, eight new houses on that street alone. The Newton county council struck out the item of $40,000 for a new court house, holding it was unnecessary to make such appropriation while the case was in the supreme court. The carnival has brought into disrepute every secret or fraternal order that has had anything to do with it. It is a notable fact that the Masons, Odd Fellows, Modern Woodmen and other conservative and respected orders have nothing whatever to do with carnivals. Let the people of Rensselaer turn out to-day to swell the oldsettlers’ crowd. Come out and bring your baskets and take dinner on the grounds with the country visitors. Show by your actions that you would like to see “Old Settlers” made the big day in this county as it is in neighboring counties.

About four tons of stale bread is shipped every week from the Chicago bakeries to Goodiand, and sold to the farmers for feeding hogs. B. P. Davidson informs us that the traffic has been carried on for several months and that he finds bread to be the best kind of feed for fattening hogs, and also for milk co.ws. —Kentland Enterprise.

Do you read The Democrat? One of the attractions at Chicago to-morrow is a national league ball game —Chicago vs. Brooklyn. Six new rural routes will be established in Benton county Oct. 1. They will start from Fowler, Oxford, Boswell, Ambia, Earl Park and Talbot. Mr. and Mrs. B. Forsythe were up in Michigan the first of the week buying peaches and pears. Their first sale took place Wednesday and Thursday. Peaches are said to be quite a good crop this year but are ripening slowly, on account of the cool weather and this season the market has not been overstocked and prices remained good.

White County Democrat: There is a good deal of complaint about poultry thieves oyer the country, but the biggest single theft that is reported comes from Wm. Kilgos, west of Reynolds. One day recently while the family were all away someone drove in with a wagon and captured and hauled away over two hundred chickens. No trace of the thieves has been discovered.

Mr.. Kitlinger, a Monon mail clerk, has moved here from Louisville, Ky., occupying Mrs. Farrie Loughridge’s cottage on North Vanßensselaer street, vacated by Mr. Stevens, clerk in Murray’s store, who has moved to Argus, where his wife's people reside. Mrs. Stevens has been confined to her bed with sickness for several months, and recently underwent an operation. At last reports she was improving.

The second annual tournament of the Rensselaer Gun Club will be held here next Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 16 and 17. There are 12 events each day for liberal purses, and a 50 target race the second day will be for a Silver Loving Cup, valued at $25, open to amateur resident shooters of Indiana, to be shot for once each year on the gun club’s grounds. This shoot will bring in a good many sportsmen and a good time is anticipated.

Lake County .News: Editor Babcock, of the Jasper County Democrat, has been pouring hot shot at the carnival being given there. Keep it up, brother. If the press would work along this line the immoral street carnival, the sole object of which is to drain a town of its “loose change,” would ere long be a thing of ancient history.

We understand that A. McCoy and daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rinehart, will close out their joint real estate holdings about McCoysburg. They have this week sold a 300 acre tract lying west of the Gifford railroad and north of the public highway to James and Orlando McDonald; consideration $65 per acre.-

A handsome piece of work by a Rensselaer artist, Miss Flora Harris, attracted considerable attention in B. F. Fendig’s window this week. The painting represented a market basket of corn, turned on its side and several of the big yellow ears had fallen out on the ground. The work was pronounced most excellent by local critics. The painting was for Mrs. Dr. Recher of Morocco.

/SA special meeting of the city council was held Tuesday evening to hear discussion of the matter of cutting a channel through the Iroquois in the city limits, in connection with the proposed Iroquois ditch improvement. The entire cost of the Iroquois improvement is estimated at §140,. 000, and the cost to Rensselaer will be in the neighborhood of §14,000. %No action further than discussion was taken. The council appointed E. V. Ransford and J. L. Adams city commissioners, in place of Geo. Meyers and A. Woodworth, who were disqualified.

Claimants for introducing that now famous early maturing corn in Jasper county continue to bob up. Alexander DeMoss of near Gillam postoffice says that he was the original introducer of the corn here, and he got the seed of a man at Idaville, White county. He sold or gave Reece Roby of Newland a half-bushel of the corn, he says, and Mr. Roby gave George Daniels some of it for seed. Mr. DeMoss says he has about 24 acres of the corn this season which he planted on qjuck ground June 22. It is now out of the way of frost. He left some samples of the corn at this office, both in plucked ears and on the stalk, which may be seen by any one interested.

It will be seen by the conference appointments published elsewhere that Rev. C. D. Royce is sent to West Lafayette, and N. L. Kindig, former pastor there is transferred to Rensselaer. During Rev. Royce’s pastorate here he has done much for his church in various ways, such as building one of the handsomest parsonages in the district, repairing the church edifice and in other matters. He has taken an active part in the anti-saloon fight and has been a whole host in himself in this work. With the better element of citizens regardless of creed he has made many friends by his active opposition to sin in its most flagrant forms, and the best wishes of these people who, when it comes to an honest show down, are always in the majority, go with him and his excellent family to their new home. His successor is slightly older than Rev. Royce, both in years and in the conference, and is highly spoken of both as a man and a preacher.

AS OTHERS SEE US.

Goodland Herald: The morbid curiosity that would prompt a man i to want to see another dine on raw snakes could no doubt be satisfied by the possession of a boil-er-plate stomach. And yet the snake-eater is one of the leading “attractions” at many of the street carnivals. Describing the horrible feast which was given in detail at the Rensselaer carnival, the Republican says: “The fellow who was here would pick np a live snake, bull or rattler, it was all the same, and evidently kill it with his hands, by doubling it over near the head, thus breaking its back. Then he would bite and tear at its neck with his teeth until the head was off. He would then bite out a small piece or two and seem to eat the pieces,, but probably the actual eating was a pretense. He would only kill about two fresh snakes a day, and j would use the same snake for several of his exhibitions.” What a sublime sight! If anything additional was needed to impress one with the high-toned educational qualities of the average carnival this would do it. People] whose appetites demand such “enjoyments” as this had better be consigned to, gloom the balance of their days. •
