A rumor is current that the proposed new C. I. & E. railroad company will purchase the Gifford road in this county, but this is scarcely likely if the road is to pass through Medaryville and the object is to construct a practically air line.

You’ve beard people say that they have worked like a dog all day. An exchange has figured that if this were literally true, the twenty-four hours would be spent thus: One hour digging out a rat, two hours gnawing a bone, one hour waiting for a cat to come down from a tree, half an hour begging to get into the bouse and the balance of the time sleeping on a mat in a cold doorway.

Volume 1, No. 1, of the Goodland Plaindealer has reached our table. The paper is republican politically and starts off with a nice amount of advertising patronage. George L. Burgess, an old Goodland boy, is the editor and publisher. George has had little experience in the newspaper business, but will probably do the thing up right after a little, even if he did make some errors in making up the forms for the first issue. We wish him success. The publishers of Farm and Fireside, the premium paper The Democrat is giving to new subscribers, is mailing free sample copies to nearly all The Democrat’s present list of so they may see what the paper is like.

E. church Sunday morning. She was a young woman, only 19 years old. She came with her parents anjl busband from Parr a few months before, and has been a sufferer ffom consumption for some time. It is rumored that there is a good prospect that the monopoly in the buss business in Rensselaer will soon be a thing of the past, and that a new buss line will be in operation with brand-new rub-ber-tired buss in a few weeks. If the rumor proves a fact, the people will no doubt give the new enterprise a liberal patronage.

The Henry Snow deal for a farm near Lisbon, No, Dak., has fallen through with, the parties with whom he was trading not coming up with their part of the contract.

She was married on December 15tb last, and had resided in this vicinity for a number of years, for the past year or more in Rensselaer. She was about 20 years of age.

We guess the Hammond Tribune man “didn’t know it was loaded,’’ when he lit into the Goodland Plaindealer. Bro. Burgess’ second paper presents a much better appearance, and even the first would give the Tribune cards and spades and then beat it to the quarter post. It was simply a case of the pot calling the kettle black, and the black spots are wearing off the latter in a way that makes the pot look still worse.

Expenses greatly reduced in the grocery department and the benefit given to our customers by a general mark down. Chicago Bargain Store.

THE NEW GROCERY OPEN. Our Groceries are now arriving. Everything is clean and fresh. Our new well-lighted rooms make our facilities for serving you the best. We deeply appreciate the favors you have shown the house in its other departments in the past years, and now earnestly solicit a trial from you in this our new department. s Truly, The Geo. E.

Ulcer of the Stomach

Insidious Nature of the Disease—How to Recognize and Cure It. Ulcer of the stomach may exist for years without very marked symptons, excepting those caused by indigestion. It is due to an inflammation which affects the membrane of the stomach so that it is eaten away by the gastric juices. In good health, the stomach resists the action of the gastric juices, but when weakened, the membrane is badly nourished and the digestive fluids act upon it as well as upon the food, keeping up until perforation of the stomach occurs. In advanced cases of ulcer of tbe stomach there is much discomfort after eating, with a constant gnawing sensation between meals, pain fiom the pit of the stomach back to the shoulder blade.

At the first symptoms of indigestion, treatment should at once be started with Mi-o-na. This is a scientfic remedy adapted specifically to one purpose, the cure of stomach troubles. It is so uniformly successful that B. F. Fendig gives a signed guarantee with every 50 cent box that the money will be refunded if it does not cure. Mi-o-na is not a patent or secret remedy, but is a combination of the purest and most reliable of remedies for strengthening the digestive organs and building up the whole system. Use it for a few days and there is no reason why you should not be able to eat any food you like at any time without fear of distress.

DEPENDS ON A WINK

Way a Terra Haute Cop Is to Judge of the Bona Fides of an Order. UD IS TO BE NAILED ON NOW Sensational End to a Funeral Service —Preacher’s Sermon Is Inter-rupted-State Notes. Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 1. The eaucus of the city council, the mayor and bls boards of safety and public works, decided to enforce all laws, and orders to that effect are to be Issued to the police. It means that an effort is to be made on Sunday to close the the theaters, cigar stores and other kinds of business which the city attorney may decide come within the closing law, including tbe prevention of the sale of anything except drugs by drug stores. It was a strange proceeding. The city council gave the instruction to the board of safety. Under the charter the executive branch of the city government is supposed to have the execution of the law solely within Its province. One purpose in the charter was to take the police control from the legislative body.

Gave “It Mit a Wink.” Chairman Kanzletter, of the board of sabety. was subjected to an examination by councilmen. Councilman Weeks asked him if he had not given an order to enforce the saloon closing law’ when his boar# came into office two weeks ago. He said: “I take all responsibility for what has been done, I gave dot order, but I gave it mit a wink.” “But didn’t you also give an order to atop gambling’’ he was asked. “Yes, I gave dot order, too, and we stopped gambling.” “You mean. then, that the law can be enforced when you don’t wink?" “Yes, dot is right. I didn’t give the wink.” Mayor Bidaman presided at the caucus, but said nothing. Lints Is to Remain, Chief of Police Lints’ resignation is not to be accepted. The ccouncil which wanted him removed held that it would be unfair, considering the “wink,” to remove him for not having enforced the law. but he will be on trial as to his competency and good faith.in Enforcing the general closing order. Mayor Thought To Be Pleased. There is reason to believe that the mayor is pleased with the action taken. He refers to it as a vindication of his course, and says that: "If you enforce the Nicholson law you have got to enforce all laws, and if yon don’t you will be blanked right and left. I don’t believe there is harm in the Sunday theater. I knew they were violating the law, but so were tbe saloonkeepers, and I could not enforce the laws against one and not against the other. I don’t believe the people who have been clamoring for the enforcement of* the laws realize what it means.”

WHY CALL ON A PREACHER? Case in Which Those Who Called Resented What the Preacher Had to Say. Ellsworth. Ind., Feb. 1. —"Hell was made for just such men,” said Rev. Balkan. in drawing a stern moral from the life of Charles Robbins, a coal miner, whose funeral sermon he had been asked to preach. Instantly red-shirted, bewliiskered men sprang to their feet and made angry protest. They were the friends of Robbins. They knew his life had not tieen of the best, bnt refused to have it referred to after bi* death. The service was stopped, the preacher, white, but making no protest, leaned upon the pulpit, while six brawny miners lifted the casket and. carried it to the cemetery, where it was buried without further ceremony than the muttered prayers of the gruff work men. Boy Comes Into His Estate. Lafayette. Ind., Feb. 1. Th® Lafayette Loan and Trust company has filed a final report In the guardianship of Isaac Cunningham, heir of th® late eccentric Isaac Cunningham, Br.» who bequetthed the lad land, money and a pot filled with valuable coin*.

Pitts’ place, near this town, shows twenty dandelions in full bloom. Buds on some of the fruit trees ar® swollen, and fear is expressed because of the cold weather that may yet come. The wheat shows remarkably well, and pastures are looking green. Population of Indianapolis. Indianapolis. Feb. I.—According to figures compiled from the new city directory by Charles Murphy, local manager for R. L. Polk & Co., city directory publishers. Indianapolis now ban a population of 222,385, a gain of 8,280 during the preceding year. Constable Shoots a Fugitive. Mount Vernon, Ind., Feb. I.—Chan.
