Flannolj in ait -/" hadoj, Woighls and Colorj fiotv. S* Moot ~f urprijing Vatuo at lOc, 8,300 Jiarrfj. These flannels are the pick of patterns used so exclusively by wealthy people and our spring purchases at the then unusually low prices makes it easy for ua to offer our customers the best at the same low average of last fall. Stores which waited until late to buy must necessarily charge you with the advauce made imperative by the cotton shortage. If you are not a good judge of cloth you can very easily be over charged this fall. - You can buy safely from our stock this time. Thin K, of if you tuant Wool SKirt. We bought a line of Woolen and Cotton Flounced skirt patterns to sell at 75c and SI.OO, but we want to make a reputation this fall so we will do what other firms might not, that is, sell them at 25c less or 50c and SI.OO. They are really the best honest bargains we know of. Trust to us to treat you right, Fino *Kibbod X/ndtrbvear for Mon J/. It true tnat the old style Heavy Fleece lined underwear is not going to be used as much this year as Formerly and we have. marked ours down to 89c a suit. That just saves you lie by our cut price methods. We have added a new hue of Fancy Ribbed Styles in a pretty blue and tan color which really should sell at $1 25 asuit, but you know how we do things. We mark them SI.OO. We Make Prloes That Are Really Astonishlng Now, to be honest with us, don’t you really think that our prices are astonishing low? We have always been located in the country, where you never expect a store to do much business, but we have broken over the ordinary methods and cut and slashed until we are recognized by everybody as hustlers and price makers. Packed to the Roof with New aoods Already You hear every day or so that Wilcox is selling such ajid such an article at a very low price. Thatis. quite a little less than others. Do you know why this is?-We buy our goods when the market is low and only ask a small profit, then at times we cut the heart out of some well known article so as to create an interest and divide our profit with you.

your Stodo mast bo pat ap btforo long. XOo ha-do o-derylhing you nood. Stodo piping, ElbotaJ. otc. Don't be foolish like you was last fall and wait until it gets reul cold before you buy your stove pipe, elbows, stoveboards, floor oilcloth and coal buckets. We have ail these thiugs and will make low prices if you buy early. The 6 in. stove pipe we sell at lSe, 2 for 25c, is better than that usually sold for 20c. We mean every word we say about our cut prices and people who have never bought of us will do well to investigate to see how much they can save this fall. Have Your Feet Fitted at Our Cut Prices. Don't permit yourself to think that we don’t havaa full stock of shoes. We are not like the usual country stores as our stock is as complete in sizes and styles as city stores and we want you to be assured that our prices are as low and sometimes lower. Children’s Union Suits at Only 35c. Our large purchases of last spring In L-tdies' and Children’s underwear was the luckiest buy we ever made. From all reports we seem to tie the only ones that bought largely before the advance, too. Now this means a big saving to you if you buy from us. Think about our 25c Union Suits for your boy or girl. Our Stores are Doing the Business Now. When you find a store that sells 20 lbs. Gran. Sugar for $1.00,0r Yeast and Bluing at 2c. aud sending out ail sorts of advertising matt3r to let people know these things, you can bet they are doing the business in their locality. We are on the alert and if you want to get out of a rut ju*t read our Ads. aud buy of us. Don’t Turn Us Down This Fall, We Want Your Trade. If the people of this country knew just how sincere we are when we' say anything or guarantee anything we would have all the trade; but it takes time for people to learn these things. In fact we never have been so enthusiastic as at this time. We have cause to be, too. We believe that our prices and new manner of cutting prices will doable our trade this fall.

Head Hurt So Badly Was Nearly Crazy. Had no Sleep—Could Hardly Lie Down. Dr. Miles* Nervine Permanently Cured Me. **A year ago I suffered from extreme nervous stomach trouble. I was afraid of everything, could not bear to hear singing or music and reading or hearing of ■ death nearly brought on my own. 1 could not sleep or hardTy lie down, the back of my head hurt me so badly I nearly went crazy. My shoulders hurt and the least thing I did would bring on an attack of extreme nervousness. There were times when I would have a lump in my throat and my mouth would be so dn I could hardly speak. I was in despair until I began to take Dr. Miles* Rsstorative Nervine. I have taken in all twelve bottles and consider myself permanently cured. My home doctor has since remarked on my healthy appearance and said he wished he could say his medicine helped me. He knows it was Dr. Miles* Nervine. We are never without the Anti-Pain Pills and consider your medicines household remedies. 1 cannot say enough for the Nervine, because in addition to my own case my daughter, who was out of school for a long time because of St Vitus’ dance, was completely cured by eight bottles. She is now feeling fine and going to school every day. We thank you tor your kindness and will never stop singing the praises of Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine."—Mrs. C. E. Ring, Lima, O.

When we bought the samples of a large Manufacturer last spring we rather thought we were going in too deep, but from all indications we may not have enough to go around as the prices we are makiug are causing people to buy already. Remember this is only the first of October and no cold weather, but when you can buy underwear and shoes at our Cut Prices it pays to do so even if you won’t need them for a year, In this case you will need them in about two weeks. If you have never bought of us, come now. If you have never bought of us or been to our Stores you don’t know just what we have. Maybe you are one of those people who think that the city stores are the only ones that keep what you want. If you are, we would be delighted to surprise you with our new and up-to-date varieties. See our Line of Boys’ Hats and Caps. We have just received a new nddition to our numerous lines in the shape of Men’s, and Boys Hats aud Caps, Children's School Hats, Girl's Knit Caps and Sweaters, also many Work Hats of Good quality and style. This new line will be a great benefit to people for miles around. School Books, Tablets, Etc., at Cut Prices. We handle every book used in our County Schools and at contract prices. We certainly have the finest and most complete line of tablets, pens, pencils, rulers, copy books, composition books and ail odd articles ever put in our stores. Look after this matter, we sell many 10c books for 5. We Will Guarantee to Save You Money. When we say we will save you money we mean it and know it. We study the prices of other firms all over this country. We have people who report to us regularly about how prices are running. If we are higher, we cut in under, then sand out where the fault lies. Rest assured and believe us—that for any certain quality of goods we will undersell all competitors.

Medaryville Advertiser; The merchants of Monon have turned a cold shoulder to the scheme of holding a street fair in that town this fall. Twice was enough for them. Geo. Daniels of Barkley tp., presented The Democrat man with a fine mess of roasting ears last Monday. Rather late for roasting ears bat they tasted all the better for that. Iu a saloon fight at Earl Park one night last week between two negroes, one of the negroe’s throat was cut so badly with a knife in the hands of the other that it required seventeen stitches to close the wonnd.

An armload of old papers fur a nickel at The Democrat office. O. H. McKay has one of the neatest and cleanest laundries in the state, right here in Rensselaer. The public ought to be proud of it. Now that the street carnival has got to the injunction stage, it seems pretty certain that it will not be a “good thing” much longer.—lndianapolis News. Goodland Herald: Jule Wood’s father from Pennsylvania, arrived here Tuesday evening for a visit with his son. Mr. Wood, sr., is 77 years of age, and this is his first visit to Jasper county since 1887. He is much impressed with the wonderful developement of this country in those years. The postoffice at Medaryville was robbed on Thursday night of last week of cash and stamps to the amount of S4OO. The -safe was opened without the use of powder or dynamite. It is stated that a hand-ear was stolen at San Pierre the night of the robbery, and it is supposed that the thieves used it in coming to Medaryville or in skipping out. Messrs. W r . B. Austin and A. H. Hopkins have formed a partnership in the law and loan business, and Mr. Hopkins has moved into the old Austin quarters in the Forsythe block and will look after most of the business here. Mr. Austin has business in Chicago that has demanded the greater part of his time and attention there, and his Rensselaer business had suffered to some extent as a consequence. With a member of the firm on the gronnd at all times and the means and facilities for making loans and and transacting other business promptly, the new firm will do a large business in its line.

A stack of hay on W T . S. Parks’ ten acre tract at the south side of town, containing about 44 tons, was burned last Friday. It' is not known how the fire originated. It is supposed the stack was set on fire by some one. The other day Mr. Parks discovered that there was something wrong with of his gray horses. The veteiinary was called and made an examination and found that a rubber band had been placed tightly around the horse’s tongue, and it would, no doubt, have cut its tongue off in a few days more. Billy didn’t know that he had an enemy, but it would seem that someone did both jobs who must have a spite at him and took this devilish means of “getting even.”

NOT SO PARTICUAR HERE.

The street carnival down at Van Buren, Grant county, ended in a riot Saturday night. The proprietor of the “hootchie” show—probably the same show that exhibited here during the late unpleasantness—went about Saturday afternoon among the boys and yonng men and told them that the closing “hootchie” would be “in the altogether,” and sold a large number of tickets at an advanced price, the boys tumbling over one another to get tickets. The authorities got onto the scheme, says a dispatch to the Indianapolis papers, and told the showman that if anything improper was attempted they wonld arrest the whole outfit, women and aIL The proprietor, one Bailey, still gave ont that the show would be given. At 11 o’clock, the time agreed on, the tent was packed to its utmost. No doubt fearing the threats made by the authorities the “maidens” came out in abbreviated coßtumes instead of the garb of nature, as the buyers of the advanced price tickets had anticipated. Seeing that they had been sold the crowd with a roar made for the stage. Baily was hustled out of the rear end of the tent, but a part of the crowd took after him and chased him clear out of town, where he sought refuge iu a corn field and escaped his pursuers. The rest of the crowd attempted to burn the tent, but it was too wet and resisted their efforts in that line. They then took their pocket knives and cut the canvas into ribbons and destroyed everything belonging to the show, even the clothing of the female attaches, bat no personal voilence was offered the women. The “to men only” given here had no such troubles, and it is said the exhibition was given in all its naughtiness. The authorities were very friendly to such shows, evidently, for we are told that some Rensselaer ladies learned that an exhibition of the sort was to be given and they went to the city marshal and told him they wanted it prevented. He tola them, we are informed, that he could not do a thing to stop it. This is where Van Boren differed from' Rensselaer.

WHO SIGN THEM.

Fowler Leader: Concerning, the remonstrance to be filed iw the auditor’s office next week. It will contain the name of every banker doing business in the town of Fowler. It will contain thename of every minister, the good* Father Henneberger heading the* list. It will contain, we think,the name of every newspaper man. The list itself is significant. These men have dealings whichbring them in close relation to the financial, the physical, the moral and the mental weaknesses of mankind. That they should all sign the remonstrance means,that in their judgment, the community would be better off financially, physically and morally without the saloon. A majority of the farmers who do business* in Fowler have signed. It is time*the good people were getting oa* the good side.
