The democratic national con▼ention Will be held at St. Louis, July 6 The location is n mistake, it should have been held in Chicago. At the meeting of the state central committee last Friday, Hon. W. H. O’Brien was re-elected state chairman and Hon. Thomas Taggart for member of the national committee. The rumored opposition to T. J. McCoy as republican chairman of the Tenth district, failed to materialize at the convention at Hammond Tuesday, and he was reelected by acclamation.

Suits have been instituted in several counties of Indiana to test the legislative apportionment law of the last legislature, <wbich sought to disfranchise democrats and perpetuate the republican jparty in power in this state.

Indiana’s second corn school and stockmen’s convention will be held at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., Jan, 25 to 30. Speakers from lowa, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania will be present, as well as several prominent Indiana farmers. A rate of one and onethird fare on the railroads can be secured by sending to Prof. W. C. Latta, at Purdue.

John L. Moorman, editor of the Starke County Republican, was elected republican chairman of the 13th congressional district Tuesday. A few years ago we knew John as editor of the Idaville Observer, published in a little obscure town in White county. We are pleased to see John’s advancement, even though it be along republican lines.

Earl Park is one town in Benton county where the anti-saloon people have not cut much ice, to use a slang expression, and it has five saloons. But, according to the Goodland Herald, the tragic death of one Harris, who was found frozen in a ditch near Earl Park, Christmas day, will probably result in driving every saloon out of that village. Harris had been drinking all day, and his condition was responsible for his death, and the good people of Earl are determined to remove the first cause of such tragedies. Harris left a wife and several children.

Tax-payers of Rensselaer should examine the financial report of the city treasurer which appears in the council proceedings published elsewhere in this paper. We understand no more receipts will be forthcoming until the June distribution of taxes. The Teport shows that on Deo. 31, the corporation fund contained but $852.90 while there were outstanding orders against said fund for $2,340 87, leaving a net deficit in said fund of $1,487.97, At the meeting last Monday night claims to the amount of $442.06 were allowed against the corporation fund, which increases the deficit to sl,930.03, and five months to run before any more funds are received! The road fund also shows a deficit of about S7OO. This is the result of years of financiering the Sreßent city administration. How o you like it?

Austin & Hopkins, Rensselaer, Indiana.

A Very Close Call.

“I stuck to my engine, although every joi nt ached and every nerve wa» racked with pain’’ write* C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman of Burlington, lowa. “I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all ran down. As 1 was about to give up, I got a bottle of Electric Bitters, ana after taking it. I felt as well as I ever did in my life.” Weak, sickly, run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor frow their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaranteed by A. F. Long. Price 50 cents. • . Rend The Democrat for news

COME HOME, NEWTON; COME BACK TO MAMMA.

Newton county, in your hour of conflicting emotions, The Democrat suggests, as a means of “uniting'your different county seat factions, that you come back home; come back to mother Jasper, from whom you wandered in 1860. We’ve bouse (court house) enough for all (and it isn’t paid for, either, therefore we especially want you.) We can give you a 60 cent county tax levy in place of your 25 cent levy. We can show you a few stunts on county extravagance that you never dreamed of. We will kill the fatted calf (if by chance we happen to have one left at the county farm) and even let Tax-Ferret Workman “work’’ you for back taxes of your ancestors; yea, even for ten generations back. In fact, there’s scarcely a thing we won’t do for (to) you if you’ll only come back home —except let you hold office. The latter perogative is reserved for our ring. We are quite confident of “Honest Abe” giving his consent to your returning to the parental roof, for Abe is finding it more and more difficult to perpetuate himself in office here with a paltry republican majority of only 600 in his favor, and your 700 majority will come in handy, you know. Won't you come home,young Newton? Won't you come home? We will double up your taxes and We’ll build your gravel roads; We’ll “work” you and we’ll “skin” you And we’ll “do” you to a turn—0, won’t you please come home?

Millionaires’ Poor Stomach. The worn-out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often paraded in the publle prints aa a horrible examp’e of the evil attendant' on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones that are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion Is far greater among the toilers. Dyspepsia and constipation are rampant among these people and they suffer far worse tortures than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Green’s August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-fp'e years. August Flower rouses the torpid liver thus creating appetite and insuring perfect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living no matter what your station.
