Of Interest to Advertisers. An ex mlnattrn of the latest Issue ol the American Newspaper Directory, the recognized authority on circulation ratings of newspapers In the U. S. and Canada, reveals the fact that in Indiana THE JASPER COUNTY DEMOCRAT has a higher circulation rating titan is accorded to any other paper published In Jasper County.

All emigration records were broken again last year, when nearly 700,000 foreigners came to this country. Of this number the Ital ians were in the majority," The Democrat and Commoner (Bryan’s paper) one year for $1.05; Democrat and Indiana State Sentinel, $1.55; Democrat and Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer $1,05; all four papers for $2.05. A few years ago when Grover Cleveland vetoed several score ‘of private pension bills he was called an “assassin of character,” because he found it necesasry to tell some unpleasant truths concerning the parties who„ expected to get the pensions. James N. Tyner, an ex-union soldier and an employe in the postoffice department for 35 years, and now under three indictments for violation of the postal laws, has been branded guilty, before tried , by Theodore Roosevelt. Tyner says he is innocent and can prove it. No howls from the faithful have reached this office, but then, Tyner has no “pap” to distribute. Warder W. Stevens of Washington county finds a strong ad-, vocate of his nomination for Governor iu the New Albany Ledger. It closes a strong article for Stevens as follows:“The party had tried lawyers and politicians— good men and I true—for years as head of its Btate ticket with the result of defeat. When it changed its program and took up Farmer James Williams “Blue Jeans” — it gained its first victory after tho administration of Governor Thomas A. Hendricks. Put up Farmer Warder W. Stevens and t he Farmer Blue Jeans campaign and his victory will be repeated. The farmers of Indiana want a farmer ns chief executive of Indiana. Give them -uelvn man ns Warder W. Stevens and they will elect him. Let the Democratic party of Indiana learn wisdom by experience,”

The yeajr 1903 will go down in history as a year of the greatest loss of life in railroad and other disasters of modern times. The crowning disaster of the year, the burning of the new Iroquois theatre in Chicago, is nneqnaled perhaps in the history of the world, at least in land disasters. The nearest approach to this awful holocaust was the burning of a Brooklyn, N. Y., theatre some twentyeight years ago, in which 297 lives were lost.

DELEGATES TO DISTRICT CONVENTION.

The following gentleman were selected at the mass convention last Saturday to represent Jasper county in the district convention, which meets at Lafayette next Wednesday to select a successor to Dan Simms for district chairman: T. M. Callahan, Barkley; John Bill, Jordan; Kornh Parker, Marion; U. M. Baughman, Rensselaer; R. J. Yeoman, Newton; A. Beasley, Win. A, Locke, Carpenter; B. D. Clark, Wheatfield.

Tire Jackson club of Lafayette will give a banquet in the evening at which prominent democrats from different parts of the state, and also Chicago will be present and speak, and our delegates should make their arrangements to attend this banquet.

EDWARDS A UNIQUE COUNTY.

Edwards County, commonly known as “Little Britain,” because it is one of the oldest counties in the State, nnd which was originally peopled with Englishmen to a large extent, is proud of the fact that it has SII,OOO in its treasury. A few years ago a fine new court house was built and within ten minutes after the contractor turned over the keys, the full amount of the contract price was handed to him. The county is also noted for the number of its substantial bridges, all of iron, as the public will not allow the construction of wood. There is not a single prisoner confined in the county jail, nor has there been for several years. The jail is used exclusively as a shelter for tramps

THE EXAMPLE OF THE RUN-DOWN CLOCK. People never give more than one, or two —at the most —glances at a run-down clock. They’ll treat your advertising just the same. The advertiser who “remains out” is in the same danger of disregard as the clock that “runs down.” In continuity and regularity pattern after The Democrat, which goes to press-at a certain time, is mailed regularly and reaches its thousands of readers to a dot. That is what wins public confidence —good habit. Hence, be in The Democrat e><Jery WeeK. with your very best, and the public will show their appreciation by coming after that very best with their very utmost. That kind of advertising has made thousands rich The other kind has beggared a multitude.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.

By Hon. F. Shaforth, member bouse of representative* in Colorado: “I want to say a word in behalf of woman suffrage because we think we have solved the question in Colorado. There is no nse in rehearsing the argument* in favor or against the question of woman suffrage; you are all familiar with them. . But in Colorado we have practical experience. We have had what we think is a demonstration that woman suffrage is a success, and a complete refutation of the arguments that are made that woman suffrage will have a tendency to degrade or lower the standard of woman. .It is often claimed by those who are against woman suffrage that as quick as you give tbe power- to vote to woman, immediately she will be contaminated by having to go to the polls. Now I want to say that in Colorado tbe direct opposite Ims been the experience. Instead of the caucus for the primary being held in questionable places, they are held in the parlors of the most fashionable people in Denver. Instead of those caucuses being attended by a few persons, I they are public and well attended by many. I -As a rule a greater per cent of , ladies vote than men, arid instead of their being contaminated by anything of a bad nature at the polls, tiie effect has been that there are no loafers, there are no drunkards, there are no persons of questionable characters standing around the polls.”

THE BOYS OF YESTERDAY.

There are fifty million children In our block, it seems to me, F.\ ery one of them’as happy As a proper Kid sJitTuld he. With their laces fairly Hushing With the happiness of youth. And their iit'le eyes just gushing . '-With the diamonds of troth— But they've got a lot stilt coining in the way of pain And sorrow. For the little hoys of yesterday must be the mm td-tnofrpw. Playing with their toys and- tribes ( Froth the morning until night, Never fearful of the darkness i n the beauty of the light, With no shadow of an inkling Of the'pain they're passing through,, Not a worry they must nurture Like then troubled elders dp— So they go through life, just laughing in a kitfdish sort of way, -fia'tiig- <ol!zena to-niorfotv add tlclnu iif, yesterday. . Yes, I know it's riot important, But Someiiow it seems to ate • That the subject wpuki » t ig!a If 'twere as i: ought to be, Tor the burden of the present Rests upon t:,e men who say.' With a sigh,, they can't help thinking Of themselves on yesterday; . They'd no trouble then to lend and no necessity to 1 borrow. Had the hoys of yesterday, who were the ! citizens to- morrow. Here's a lesson, friends: Lei's take it j As we journey on our way—- ! Let us make the best to-morrow' * Out of what we’ve got to-day: i We pray not reap quite the harvest * We're expecting, that is true, ; But suppose some other sowers Had abandoned hope on you! Yes, this world is full of troable. full of worryfull of-sorrow For the hoys of yesterday who'll be the Citizens to-morrow. —Baltimore American.

A Motto Gone Wrong.

King Francis I. of France, who reigned in the middle of the sixteenth century, dressed himself elaborately for the battig of Fa via, which he expected to win and thereby to become tbe master of Italy. An old chronicle says: “The king of France in his armor went about from squadron to squadron, and he wore over his mail a siircoat of brocade and brown velvet checker wise, with many F’s embroidered thereon in velvet on the brocade and in brocade on the velvet and with cords of gold and brown silk. On his helmet lie wore a great yellow and brown plume, the feathers drooping down to the horse’s flanks, a lid' from the midst of them rose a brown pennon with a red salamander, having above it a great gilt F and around it the words, ‘This time and no more.’ This motto he bore because he thought on that day certainly to make himself lord of Italy.” However, he lost the battle and was taken prisoner.

Curiosities of Digestion.

An Augusta gentleman stfttes that he once cured a gastric trouble by eating at supper a plentiful supply of cucumbers and cold blackberry dumpling, and yet in his case nothing would have seemed more pernicious. Proctor, the astronomer, suffered from excruciating headaches. He was satisfied that they came from some error of diet, and so he dropped from his bill of fare one thing after .another until he concluded that nothing else was left for experimentation. He had forgotten one article, however. It was butter. He abandoned that and ate everything else and never su£#>d from headaches again to his dying day. Man is wonderfully made, andT Ao is the stomach. Remedies for dyspepsia are numerous. You may pay your money and take your choice —Augusta Chronicle.

An Odd Pieture.

One of the strangest sights I ever saw in a wild country was a little minister garbed in solemn black, white “dog” collar, buttonless vest and stiff black straw hat. The dominie was standing in a leaky boat in tbe midst of a primeval woods, fisliing the boiling waters of a mountain torrent. At his back a cataract roared and pounded tbe rocks, churning tbe water to white suds. Above him the eternal snow glistened on the mountains, and hut a few yards away a gaunt cinnamon bear was quietly nosing among the driftwood—Dan Beard in World’s Work.

Eager For Double Dnty.

A manufacturer in the west of England. anxious that his hands should keep Christmas in a proper spirit, told them that if they went to church on that day they should receive their wages Just the same as if they had been at work. Shortly after the address a deputation of solemn faced employees waited upon their chief. “We’re willin’ to attend church,” said the spokesman, “and if ye can see yer way to payin' us overtime we’re willin' to attend the Wethoittspt;!)ape 1 iu the evenin'.”

The Beglaninsf of Trouble.

A five-year okl son of a family the other day stood watching his baby brother, who was making ft great noise over having liis face washed. The five-year-ohl lost his patience and, stamping his tiny foot, Said: “You think you have lots of trembler but you don’t know anything about it. Wait till you are big enough to get a licking. Then you’ll see. Won’t he, mamma?”—Columbus' Dispatch.

Birth Statistles.

Recently compiled statistics show that the proportion of twins born as "Witbrother ififfittiiS’ P‘"diiirTn" eighty births. Of triplets there is only one Instance iu 6(400 and quadruplets are as one to 1)12,000. while the chances of a quintet are even more remote, the ra.llo being one in 40,080,000 births. case is known of a woman who presented her husband with, seven successive triplet's. The nhorhdbes of Peru can. in the darkest night and Jn the thickest woods, distinguish respectively a white man, a negro and one of their owfi race by the smell. v
