HAS TOO MANY HOGS.

Sheriff Wildaiin In ■ Dllema.—Has a Corner on Newton County Pork. Sheriff Wildasin of Newton county, was in the city Wednesday bunting hog feed. It seems that John has 250 head of Newton connty hogs on his hands and had nothing to feed them. The immediate cause of John’s surplnssage of hogs growns oat of or is concerned with the failure the Rose Lawn bank some time ago. W. B. Austin, A. McCoy, and a Mr. Fairbanks, a brother of the tall United States Senator, who owns a ranch near Rose Lawn, signed a note with Jesse J. Fry, the late banker of Rose Lawn, we understand, for some $3,500. When Jesse’s bank went busted they had the note to pay. Austin and McCoy paid their share, but Fairbanks refused to pay, desiring to await developments regarding Fry’s ability to liquidate. Austin and McCoy then paid the balance of the note and began proceedings in Newton county to collect Fairbanks’ share of the loss. Accordingly Sheriff Wildasin to Fairbanks’ ranch and levied on 250 head of hogs. Then the hogs got hungry and John found that he couldn’t buy corn enough in that whole section of the country to feed them. With the squeals of the hungry swine ringing in his ears • and disturbing his rest at night, he hied himself to Rensselaer and struck Tom McCoy for some hog feed. Matters were arranged somehow so that the hogs will be issued rations pending the hearing of thq suit, and John will not have to lie awake nights thinking of th.e hungry porkers having nothing to eat but sandburs and jack-oak shrubery. ,

SECTION TWO.

ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE.—Collegeville, Jasper County, Indiana.

A RARE TREAT.

ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE

A Few Remarks About This Excellent Catholic Institution. Indiana is rich in the possession of several of our most renowned colleges. In the foremost rank of these institutions of learning is that celebrated institution in Jasper county known as St. Joseph’s College. Since its establishment in 1891 this College has been a potent factor in modern education and a boon to the Catholic youth. A deep debt of gratitude is due to the Fathers of the Most Precious Blood, who were its founders. An ideal spot is the site upon which this splendid pile of buildings rises. The buildings and groupds are located one mile south of Rensselaer, yet there are many people in Jasper county who have never seen these handsome and eostly structures. Far from the distractions of city life, the student finds himself surrounded by everything that tends to develope his physical and mental status. The recreation grounds are extensive and afford every facility for beneficial and manly sports. An artificial lake on the premises offers facilities for such health-giving exercises as boating, fishing and skating. The buildings are models of modern architectural design in many respects. The class-rooms are scientifically lighted and ventilated; the sleeping apartments are airy and bright; the food is selected with regard to the health of the students. Conscientious attention to the most minute details for the welfare of their charges is exercised by all in charge of the college. From a hygienic Joseph’s has few equals. The main building presents a frontage of 325 ft., and has ample accomodations for 150 students. Spacious class rooms, recreation halls, cheerful refectories, fine reception rooms, a beautiful chapel, comfortable private rooms, airy dor-, mitories, lavatories, bathrooms, a replete gymnasium, etc., form pArts of this modern establishment. A part of the building is devoted to the musical department of St. Joseph’s College. A spacious music hall, eight practice rooms, besides apartments for the use of the orchestra and band, belong to this department. Great success has been attained in this branch of the College work, and the management may point with pride to the proficiency of the students of music.

For pupils not sufficiently advanced to enter the regular courses there is an excellent Preparatory Department. For the completion of the Normal and Commercial Courses three years are rexuisite, while the Classical Department proper comprises the work of six years. The Normal and Commercial Courses are an ample and thorough preparation for a successful business career. The student goes forth with a practical and substantial knowledge of business principles, and is eminently fitted to carve out for himself a brilliant futnre.

The Degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred on the student who has successfully completed the Collegiate Course. To obtain this distinction he must pass satisfactory examinations in Religion, Logic, Ethics, Dialectics, Latin, Greek, English, Trigonometry, Algebra, Geometry, Ancient, Modern and United States History, besides the Literature of Ancient and Modern tongues. A diploma is awarded to the students in the Normal and Commercial Courses for proficiency in Religion, English, Mathematics, Pedagogy, Physiology, United States History, Geography, Civil Government, and Penmanship. Book-keeping and Commercial Law form a part of the Commercial Course.

Knowledge is of little value save when coupled with a noble character. The professors of St. Joseph’s College have ever borne this in mind, and have sedulously sought to imbue their young charges with lofty, Christian principles. All that is manly and elevating is cultivated in the student of this college. Scattered broadcast among the community are men who attribute the foundation of their success to the training acquired at St. Joseph’s. Endowed with religious conscientiousness and a genuine love of that which glorifies and enobles mankind, they become the ideal citizens of an ideal nation.

The work done by the Fathers of the Most Precious Blood in the Diocese of Ft. Wayne will stand as a living monument to the zeal and ardor of these exemplary educators. We wish to make mention of an article taken from the American Journal of ‘Health, and shall give an extract from the periodical referred to:

“During our investigations we have come upon an establishment of learning which we believe to be an ideal boarding school from the view point of the hygienist. Reference is had to St. Joseph’s College, which is located at Collegeville, Ind. Its freedom from malarial influences is insured by reason of its location, and the pure air and pure water afforded are important factors in the high standard of health which prevails among the students. The greatest care is exercised at St. Joseph’s College regarding the health of students and their physical wellbeing, as well as mental growth is a matter of tealous Solicitude. The hygienist knows that without health the deepest learning or the most erudite knowledge is of no avail; but, when highest mental training and ample seem ity to health are alike assured, the pleasure one finds in bestowing commendation is doable.” Although St. Joseph’s College has been in existence only twelve years, it fills a proud page in the history of Catholic educational institutions. Some of our most enterprising business men, men who have sprung into professional prominence, and some who have been added to the ranks of Priesthood, have received their preparatory training at St. Joseph’s College. Reduced prices on ladies and childrens cloaks. *

DUNNVILLE STILL “DRY.”

Remonstrance Again Successful In DefeatingApplicant tor License. In the application of George Brett for a saloon license at Dunnville, which came up before the county commissioners Monday, a remonstrance had been filed containing 74 names, a majority of 19. Of this number the applicant succeeded in securing 20 withdrawls, but the remonstrators got six of the withdrawing remonstrators to re-sign, which gave tbem a majority of 5, and the license was denied. The general opinion seemed to be op to last week that no fight would be made against Mr. Brett, and that he would have no trouble in securing his license. A license was granted George Strickfaden of this city, the remonstrance filed against him some two months ago being held insufficient.

PUBLIC SALES. The Democrat desires again to call the attention of those who contemplate having public sales to the fact that this office is the proper place to get their bills printed if they consider their own interests in the matter. We get np a neat, up-to-date bill, print them all on cardboard, and our prices are as low as any other printer’s for an inferior bill. In addition to this we give a free notice in The Democrat with each set of bills, and as The Democrat enters more farmers’ homes in Jasper county than all other papers combined, you can easily see that this notice is of more real benefit to you than the bills themselves. Remember this when you get ready to have your bills struck, and come to The Democrat to have the work done.

A GOOD RANGE CHEAP.

The Monarch Ranges advertised elsewhere in this paper are not a “cheap” range but are an extra good range at a very low price; from sls to $25 less than you would pay elsewhere for an inferior stove. The editor of this paper has one of these ranges in his home and prospective buyers are invited to call and examine it, compare its style, finish and quality with any other range you ever saw. You will have to admit that it is ahead of all others, and the price will tickle you half to death. Remember these ranges are the very best that can be manufactured, made of malleable iron and steel, handsomely nickelplated, burn wood or coal, and come to you securely boxsd, freight prepaid and on a 30 day free trial. If dissatisfied in any way at the end of 30 days all you have to do is ship it back and no questions will be asked. There is no danger of your wanting to return it, however. No trouble to set it up. The adjustment of four or five little bolts puts it together, something any ten-year-old boy can do. Write the Malleable Iron Range Co., 191 Lake St., Beaver Dam, Wis., for catalogue, and tell them you saw their ad in this paper. Don’t forget that, long wear “Bunker Hill school shoes” for boys and girls.
