2/ Mrs. Peter Giver of Wabash, is wfeiting her sister, Mrs. Harry Wiltshire, of South Scott street, who is still quite sick although improving slowly. The scarcity of dwelling houses in Fowler is sadly felt and still there are no saloons. In Goodland the saloons are five in number renters of dwelling bouses are sadly needed. The same causes do not produce the same effects at all times, it seems. Fowler Leader. The Democrat always keeps abreast of the times with new type faces, printing material, paper stock, and carries the largest stock of ruled headings, envelopes, cards, flat and typewriter papers, print paper, etc., of any print shop in the county, and employs none but the best of printers. Give us a call when in need of anything in the job printing line. Mrs. Hiram Day, who has been seriously sick for the past few weeks, is reported better at this writing, out there are still several sick at the Day home, including their little daughter Maude, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Smith of near Surrey, and Mrs. Dora Smith of Brookston. The latter were here to see Mrs. Day and to attend the funeral of Mrs. Edward Smith, and nearly all seem to have been unfortunate in themselves getting sick.

yConrad Kellner begun putting np'ice Saturday with a large force of men. The ice was about seven inches in thickness and of good quality. The men worked all day Sunday, until 11 o’clock Sunday night and Monday until three o’clock, when the gradual rise in temperature from Sunday made the ice too rotten to handle. They succeeded in filling the two large bouses—one at the river and the other at Cooney’s home —about half full. Thursday afternoon work was again resumed, the cold Wednesday night being sufficient to harden the blocks once more, and all were busily engaged in the work yesterday also. The Keister restaurant was sold Thursday on chattel mortgage held by James A. Keister of Jordan tp., and was bid off by Henry Snow, late of Union tp., at $405, which included both stock and fixtures. The mortgage was for S3OO. After the sale two of the unsecured creditors filed attachments, J. J. Eiglesbach for meat furnished to Geo. H. Keister, $133.41, and Geo. A. Strickfaden for wet goods, $8.20, and the place was closed for a few hours. Later the parties dismissed the attachment proceedings and it is said wilt test the validity of the mortgage. Mr. Snow is now in charge of the business. In renewing his subscription to The Democrat, F. B. Schultz, now of Lamar, Colo., but formerly of Jasper county, writes: “We have bad fine winter weather here this winter, with but little snow—nice and sunshiny most 'of the time except a little cool of nights. Had very good crops here the past year. I never saw so much bay in my life as I have seen here, and grain and sugar beets a plenty. The Lamar Beet Sugar Co., is going to build railroads all over this valley to haul their beets to the factory. One is going past my place, just across the road from me, and very likely we will get another road from Holly to Sugar City. It will be a great benefit to the farmers, and land is going up in price already. I believe I can sell my place before next fall and double my money on it.” The Democrat is in receipt of a letter from the Lewis Publishing Co., of St. Louis, who purchased the subscription list of the Chicago Daily Review, in which they state that they will not be able to get their new paper started until some time in June, owing to delay in getting their new press made and installed. This company was to fill out the tmexpired time of all subscriptions of the Daily Review, several of which were sent in by The Democrat. Although this paper acted merely as agent in sending in such subscriptions, it feels beholding to some extent for the failure of subscribers receiving the paper, and it proposes to return to each one the 50 cents paid to us for the Review. All those who subscribed for the Review through The Democrat will be mailed a check for 50 cents on receipt of a card giving their name and address and stating that it is for refund of money paid for the defunct Daily Review. The successor to the Review may be started and then it may not. We are tired of the promises made to fill out the subscriptions and propose* to pay back all money paid us -for Review.
