A Newton county paper states that Prof. W. O. Schanlaub of Morocco, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schanlaub of our city, is a candidate for county superintendent of that county. The democrats elected one-half the trustees of that county at the recent election, also the county auditor, who casts the deciding vote, which will give the democrats this office. Will’s many friends here hope that he will land the plum. James McManus and son of near Valparaiso were in the cjty on business Saturday. 'Mr. McManus has been living on a good dairy farm just over the river in Porter county for the past year, keeping 35 cows and shipping the milk to Chicago. He says that he had excellent crops this season, both oats and corn. He bought a farm near Yukon, Okla., some time ago and informs us that he will move onto same the coming year. He still owns his South Dakota farm, near Armour, but prefers the' Oklahoma climate as a place of residence.

\ Quite an interesting Thanksgiving program was given at the Cozy Palace school in Barkley township, Nov. 23. Three schools, namely: Cozy Palace, Blackford and Canada, were united for the afternoon, the teachers being Misses Anna and Emma and Mr. Charlie Lane. The afternoon was spent in giving recitations, singing, ciphering and a spelling match. The pupils enjoyed it immensely, there being fifty-one in all. It proved to be beneficial as well as as each school did their very best and wanted to carry home the honors of doing the best work. At 4 o’clock school was dismissed. Pupils did excellent work and all went home feeling that “their” school came out ahead. * ''i Al Peters of near Sharon has a •Imadstone” that has been in his family for one hundred years. It was presented to Sir John Lawrence of England, viceroy to India, by an Indian chief, and through him came into the possession of Mr. Peters’ grandfather, a cousin of Sir John, and has been handed down from generation to generation since«YThe stone is now on exhibition at Long’s drug store where it may be seen by the curious. It has been tried in a great many cases and is said to have always done the work. This is a matter that should be known to The Democrat readers, to the end that the virtues of this stone may be tried in cases where it is thought poison will result from dog-bite, or other animals or reptiles, or where the dog is known or thought to be suffering from rabies.
