Wonder if the “farmers' wives and their children” are flocking in very fast to the new upholstered ladies' waiting room in the court house?

The Japanese, the Chinese and even the Turks may be pardoned if, after reading our football returns for the season, they contemplate sending up a few missionaries.—Chicago Post.

In chronicling the financial stunts of the Mc’s, the people of Jasper county will no doubt remember that while there were McCalls and McCurdys, there were also the McCoys who did a local stunt or two.

And, like the expensive new court house, the end is not yet on that $5,000 cottage at the soldiers’ home—the very liberal appropriation made by the county council has been exhausted and there are* more bills yet to pay.

And still the Common Council of the City of Rensselaer makes no further effort to have the money returned to the city treasury that has been illegally paid to county treasurers for collecting special assessments for the city, notwithstanding the treasury is as empty as the traditional Mother Hubbard’s cupboard, -

No, the matter of allowing S. R. Nichols to pay his personal indebtedness to the McCoy bank at 3c or 40 cents on the dollar—whatever the bank pays—has not been fully allowed and settled, as stated in the Rensselaer Republican. The matter will come before the bank creditors at a meeting of which they will receive notice by mail, the trustee states, audit will then be for the creditors to determine whether such compromise agreement shall be ratified or not If a majority of the creditors vote to ratify the agreement, then it will go through, otherwise he will be treated the same as other debtors and creditors of the bank.

Over at Brook, where the antisaloon people have successfully remonstrated against the liquor business and the remaining saloon license will expire in a few weeks, there was persistent rumors that “cold storage,’’ “blind pigs,” etc., would be established for defeating the wishes of the people. The other day the business men got together and formed an association and subscribed a fund of S3OO to diligently prosecute any infractions of the law in the sale of intoxicating liquors in said town. Good for Brook. But why wouldn't such an organization be a good thing to have in every town and county seat to prosecute all infractions of the law that can not or will not be prosecuted by the public officers or individuals?

General Nelson A. Miles, who is an advocate of athletic sports and exercises, draws the line at football, and says of the game that in the last two months has killed 21 young men and crippled hundreds of others: “Football, as played here now, while it meets the approval of a large number of our people, is, in my opinion, the most brutal, fatal and ill-advised of any game or sport practiced by any people in any part of the world. There are more casualties recorded in the history of that game than in the history of bullfights or prize fights, and surely it cannot be the

most elevating amusement to see a mass of legs, arms and bodies rolling over in the dirt for the gratification of the participants or the amusement of the spectators. “During the last few months no less than 21 young men have lost their lives in the game, with an additional large list of casualties, many of them of a permanent character, some crippled and injured for life. If the young men were engaged in some noble and and worthy cause, where such courage, fortitude and sacrifices were needed, and for the benefit of the public, we might applaud the system; but it cannot, in my opinion, be regarded by thoughtful persons as other than a useless sacrifice and a fruitless waste of life.”

"A CELEBRATED CASE.”

Quite a number of town people went out to St. Joseph’s College Monday evening to witness the play “A Celebrated Case,” which was given by the college students Thanksgiving evening and met with such hearty approval that it was repeated Monday night. The play was given in the auditorium of the new gymnasium building, where they have a fine large, well lighted stage, supplied with hundreds of dollars worth of new scenery. “A Celebrated Case” is staged in a prologue, four acts and four scenes.' Twenty-nine characters, soldiers and convicts were in the play as rendered, and each acted his part to perfection. The time of the play is the Battle of Fontenay (1745) and twelve years after. The costumes were very handsome, the acting perfect. Excellent music was furnished by the college orchestra, and everyone in attendance from town felt well repaid for their trip.

BOX SOCIAL.

There will be a box social at the Brushwood school, in Union tp., Friday evening, Dec. 15. A good program will be rendered. Everyone invited, and ladies requested to bring boxes, of course. Frank Garriott ) T h Tillie Malco J teachers

Your Life Current. The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs. If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, periodical pains, indigestion, dyspepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak. Power-producing fuel is needed ; something to increase nerve energy —strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine is the fuel you need. It feeds the nerves,produces nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I began taking Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills I was confined to my bed. I had severe nervous spells, the result of two years illness with malaria. I gradually grew so weak that I was unable to sit up. The spells would commence with cold chills, and I would become weak and almost helpless. My circulation was poor. I had doctored right along but grew * weaker and weaker. The Nervine seemed to strengthen me right away and my circulation was better. I have taken In all seven bottles of the Nervine, and I am entirely well." ROSA E. WEAVER, Stuarts, la. Dr. Mlles’ Nervine Is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first oottle will benefit If It falls, he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind
