The young people departed on the afternoon train for Chicago where they will visit for a few days 'before taking up their residence at Beaver City.

True to the letter is this advertising advice: The concern whose advertisments appear only occasionally loses one of the most valuable elements in attracting business —the cumulative effect of regular announcements, which makes the name familiar and associates it with the article advertised. This effect can be produced only by persistent use of appropriate mediums, and when once secured it can be maintained only by the same means. It requires just as much effort to hold prestige as to gain it, and there can be no “resting on the oars’’ for the man who would keep abreast of or beyond competition.

The Democrat is placed in the postoffice every Friday evening in time to be sent out on the 6:15 mail train south and the 6:35 north. In addition to this there is an 8:00 p. m., mail sent out from the Rensselaer postoffice. "Wolcott, Remington, Goodland and Kentland subscribers should get their Democrat on the early east-bound mail Saturday morning, also rural route subscribers from said towns. In addition to this every subscriber in Jasper county should receive his Democrat on Saturday. If it fails to reach your office, call our attention to the matter and we will try and locate the difficulty and have it remedied. The Democrat would again call the attention of prospective range buyers to the advertisement of the Monarch range in another column. This firm is reliable and responsible in every way, and as they send ranges ont on 30 days free trial and pay all charges if it proves unsatisfactory, vou take no chances whatever. You can save from sls to $25 on a range by baying it direct from the Monarch people, who are large manufacturers of malleable iron ranges. This matter is worth looking into. One of these ranges may be seen at the home of the editor of this paper, and prospective range buyers are invited to call ana examine it and learn ite cost. 'sow .

MAYOR JONES' EXPLOIT".

fc'oledo'n Kscc-oHvo Siuw* FlrcoMS* How to Climb 11> a Brass 800 Hand over hand, with bi» body Wo>~ rigid as the muscles that maintained ltj. Mayor Samuel Jonea of Toledo, 0-i, moved silently aud gracefully u ft heavy brass rod leading from the slespH* - ing quarters of the fire boys at enginw* house No. 3 on Jefferson street from* t the engine room floor below and only, stopped ascending when his head! touched, the roof, two floors from tbeground, says the New York Timas, 1 Try as they would, the half dozen’ healthy firemen could not come nearly up to the mayor’s record as a band avor band climber. , These athletic sports occurred tfia* other day at the Central fire station, the mayor having dropped in to pan* the time of day en route to affairs o*’ state. There’s nothing the mayor enjoys more than some exercise whiclp will test the brawn of a man, and ft pleases him to be able to lead and. to watch them try to follow. The brasa rod is the fireman’s stairway— eomSumi down—but the mayor made it his gvIng up, something the men rarely attempted except when “bantered.”’ The mayor’s grip is wonderfully strong, his great, broad hands betas well muscled and well trained. Tbe mayor prefers running or walking; downtown to riding; he prefers to sleep?in the open air, and hence upon hto back porch.

MAIL BY TELEPHONE.

Senator F>lrlmnk»' Plan to Expedite Delivery of Important Letter*. Senator C. \V. Fairbanks of Indian* as soon as the regular session of eongress convenes will take up a matter In which he is much interested, says at Richmond special dispatch to the New" York Times. Just before the adjournment last spring he offered a resolotlosr calling upon the postal department to Investigate the feasibility 6t using thetelephone in the delivery of special delivery letters. The senate would not make an appropriation at that time, *jp> the proposition was new. Senator Fairbanks talks enthusiastically of the matter. He believe® that the adoption of the rural telephone will make it possible for the farmer fir receive his mail as quickly as the m«r In town. He would have It arranged mr-' that the postmaster could open the special delivery letter and read it over tfi® telephone to the man In the country. ■ The rapid extension of telephocarf lines through the rural districts makes! the scheme more easy than it woufifc* have been at the time be prepared £L He has talked with merchants xndt" farmers and members of the post office department, and they are all in faro® of the plan. He says he intends to pofitethe matter as rapidly as possible.

His Wish.
