Emerey Odom, went last week to Xarmanda, where he expects to spend the snmmer. Me thinks we hear - sing, “Lonely and Sad;" but never mind, there is more fish in the sea. Ed Rockwell and wife and Larkin Logan and wife took dinner with Cecil Culp and wife Sunday. Levi Miller and wife of Newland visited the latter's parents, Benny Goldsberry and wife, Sunday. Wm. Gasper and wife and children visited relatives near and at Wheatfield the latter part of last week. Many a girl passes a forty dollar boy wearing a fifteen cent suit of clothes without notice, and then smiles bewitchingly on a fifteen cent boy wearing a forty dollar suit. Isn't that sj, Lonely Valley?

Woman’s Kidneys. Women a;e more often afflicted with kidney disorders thin men, but attribute the aymptons to diseases peculiar to their sex, while in reality the kidneys are deranged. Nervousness, headacne, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, pain in the back, are signs of kidney trouble that must not be ignored, or a serious malady will result. Foley’s Kidney Cure has restored the health of thousands of weak, nervous, broken down women. It stops the irregularities and strengthens the urinary organs. It parities the blood and benefits the whole system. Sold by A. F. Long.

ing more in wages. This means we have a higher class of mechanics. The result is better quality of work. We had over 60,000 orders in this department last year. Very busy now, but we have a lot of good, experienced men to help. People are realizing that this is the place to buy vehicles.

I know of factories who build practically but one buggy, but have possibly twenty different prices. To explain : Here is their $35.00 buggy: their $40.00 buggy has the same wheels, body, axles, gear, shafts, top, etc., as their $35.00 job, with possibly 50 cents more in little immaterial things: and so forth all the way along the line. We grade our work. We make the same small percentage of profit on a $50.00 job that we do on a $35.00. On high-priced work we are not only giving better quality of material and better finish, but more improvements and little equipments which you do not find on the cheaper rig. Recently a certain manufacturing concern which builds work for a catalogue house, ordered, through another party,

one of our low-priced buggies and had it shipped to their factory for examination. They wanted to know why people were buying Ward’s vehicles. Upon receipt of the job it had so many features of the higher priced buggies, such a fine finish, and was so stylish and well proportioned in every way that they concluded we had made a mistake and sent them our highest

are giving uur customers stronger and more durable vehicles, better made in every way, easier riding, more stylishly trimmed, better finished and altogether with more lasting qualities for the money than any other buggy concern in the world. Our vehicle business in 1004 increased 20 per cent; other houses fell behind 30 per cent. We never put a SSO description on a S4O job. Wo have purchased material for manufacturing twice as many vehicles in 1905 as in 1904. We paid spot cash for it. We expect great things. Have really put prices upon the finished work that are extraordinarily low when coi»-idering the quality. Send us your order and we guarantee to return you good material and good labor in the shape of a good rig. Send for Our Vehicle Catalogue The descriptions in our vehicle catalogue are correct. We have the goods to back them up. We know what’s under the paint. If you have not received a copy ask for it. Order MR. F. L.

Then he goes to where Mr. Hanna stays and tells the girls how his Dutch girl makes tea, and cooks sauerkraut. After going to Round Grove and the Hodge Ranch and getting the girls to promise to go to the show with him he brought out the black livery team and a rubber tired buggy. But when the boss or sub-boss comes his fun is all over. The girls would rather the bosses wouldn’t come.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago are using a great deal of space in the newspapers just ° now in advertising, and have contracted with the Democrat for several hundred inches of space. The price to be paid us for this advertising is an amount in excess of that paid to all the papers here by any business firm in Rensselaer, in a single year, with two exceptions, and the rate is the same charged, our local merchants Now, if it pays a firm in Chicago to advertise in The Democrat, 75 miles away, (and they certainly would not advertise in the country papers if it did hsilrfmy) why will it not pay the local merchant who is right on the ground? This is a pertinent question and one which the hustler for trade most certainly decide in the affirmative. In this day of close competition it is the man who hustles for trade and advertises his wares who secures the custom, while the nonadvertiser gradually drops behind the procession. See Baughman & Williams for farm and city loans. Remember, horsemen, that The Democrat office is the proper place to get your horse bills priuted. We are especially well equipped for this sort of work. Give us a call when in need of horse bills.

BAKER NOT INDICTED

Grand Jury Has Not Yet Report* ed a True Bill Against the Cigarette Man. TRUSTS NOT USING MUCH CASH They Have Better Ways of Gaining Tbelr Point Elevator Falls and Hurts Three Men. Indanapolis, March 9. —Four Indictments were returned by the grand jury In a partial report to Judge Alford, of the criminal court. The four were made public, being the names of men already arrested and in jail, and the statement was made by the clerk of the court that no others were brought down. Clerk Norwood said that no indictment for O. A- Baker, of cigarette fame, was returned. The grand jury resumed its session, which will last until next week, at least, in the consideration of local police cases. Some more testimony will be taken in the bribery investigation during that time. Trusts Not Placing Any Money. Prosecutor Benedict said he felt that he had been making as searching an investigation as is possible under the circumstances, and that he has been unable to find any evidences of corruption, outside the Baker incident. ‘ The corporate interests have not placed any money that I could find trace of,” said Benedict, “and I don’t believe that they spent any at all, in a direct effort to influence legislators. It strikes me that they don’t work that way so much, now, anyhow. Their method seems to be to place men in the legislature to represent their interests.” Letter That Baker Wrote. Some letters in Benedict’s possession, given him by members of the house who received them from O. A. Baker, indicate the manner in which the latter worked for his employer*. One is rather lengthy, written in a personal vein on the strength of a long acquaintance with the representative addressed. Baker suggests what he calls |k “cathcy” amendment to the Parks anti-eigarette law, to be introduced Jby the member when the opportunity offered. Made No Attempt to Bribe. A long argument ispresented to show that a less drastic law would be more effective than that proposed by Parks, and calling attention to defects in the lowa law which had been cited in support of the Parks bill. He asked the member to meet liim that evening and talk the matter over with him. This member told the grand jury that he discussed the question with Baker that evening at the English hotel, but that Baker never suggested any reward to ' him for offering the amendment. FALL OF AN ELEVATOR Three Pet-*on» Badly Hurt Because Ik* Pin Holding the Cab Broke—Fall* Fifteen Feet. Columbus, Ind., March 9. The freight elevator in the factory of !

Haley Oipe Take# an Appeal. Newcastle. Ind., March 9.—The attorneys for Haley Gipe. who is serving an indeterminate sentence in the reformatory for complicity in the Starbuck murder, have filed an appeal to the supreme court of Indiana. It is not likely that the high court will make a decision in less than a year, and as Gipe already has served nearly six months, he would have only six months to sene before he could have a new trial. Railway to Cm a Street. Terre Haute. lud., March 9. The city council has passed an ordinance giving the Southern Indiana road the use of a street to enter the Union station with the Chicago division now building. Public sentiment was so strong in favor of the ordinace because of the benefit of the Southern Indiana has been and promises to be to the city that objections of property owners were disregarded by the council. Meaning of the Word “PmUteot.” Terre Haute, Ind., March 9. The Interpretation of the word “persistent” resulted in a strike of 175 men at the Jackson Hill mines. The operators contend that the loading of three cars of dirty coal in a week meant “persistent,” while the miners hold that a miner must load, three cars of dirty coal in one week, and then is liable to discharge If he loads two cars aiy other week. ~_.,
