THE TALLEST CORN

Which Farmer in Jasper County Has It? THE DEMOCRAT WANTS TO KNOW And Will Pay for Information Wanted: The Tallest Stalk of Corn Grown In Jasper. Everyone admits that the corn crop in Jasper county this year is a hummer, and some of the stalks have attained a great height, for corn. The past six weeks have been particularly favorable for the growth of this great cereal, and we hear big stories from the farmers about the height of corn in their fields. We have decided to try and find out which of The Democrat’s thousands of readers in Jasper county can show the tallest stalk of corn grown on their farms this season. In order to promote an interest in this contest and pay the farmers who are able to produce the tallest stalk for their trouble. The Democrat will pay $5 00 in cash premiums, as follows; $2 50 for the first; $1 50 for the second, and $1 for the third tallest stalk exhibited, CONDITIONS. Each stalk must be pulled from the ground and the dirt carefully shaken from the roots. It must contain the ear or ears of corn growing upon it at the time the stalk is pulled, and must be delivered at the office of The Democrat in as good condition as possible and aa soon after removed from the field as convenient. Each stalk will be carefully measured at the time of delivery and its height together with the name of the grower will be placed in a record book especially provided for the purpose. The contest will cloae at 12 o’clock M. on Thursday, Sept. 20, and all exhibits must be in before that hour. Only one stalk is wanted, but if an early ex-

hibitor later finds a stalk of greater height than that first exhibited, he tnay, before the close of the contest, bring it in and it will be accepted the same as though it was his only exhibit. Ail premiums will be paid in cash on Saturday, Sept. 22, 1906. This contest is open to all farmers in Jasper county, and we want to see them 'take hold of the matter and hunt up the tallest stalk of corn they can find in their fields and bring it in. The name of each exhibitor, together with the height!) of the stalk of corn exhibited will be published in the issue of The Democrat of Sept. 22.

TO ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.

Office or Chairman ) Democratic Congressional. Committee. > Washington, D. C . Avgust, 15,19uf1. ) If there ever was a time in the history of the democratic party for the manifestation of loyalty and patriotism on the part of its members, it is right now. If we are to win a victory and elect a President two years hence, we must first elect a House of Representatives this fall. A democratic house can and will investigate every department of the government. With all of them honeycombed by “graft,” the edges of which, only, have been touched by recent exposure and prosecutions, there will be a revelation of rottenness that will astound the country and create a demand for a democratic administration to clean the government workshop. To win the House we need money to defray legitimate expenses and get out our vote. We have no protected monopolies from which to draw to fill our coffers, as they do those of the republican party. We'must, therefore, appeal to loyal democrats for contributions. Will you send us $1 00 at once, and in return for this we will send you copies of our campaign literature as issued by the committee. You will have the thanks of the entire democratic party, for your favorable response to our request. Address all remittances to J, M. Griggs, Ch’m. Munsey Bld’g Anyone wanting new or secondhand corn shredders should call on J. V. Collins. ts.

STICKS IN THE STOMACH.

Feeling That Often Comes to People With Weak Digestion. A poor sufferer from indigestion once said that his stomach felt as though it was filled with sticks and as though some of them were on fire and burning him up inside. When the stomach and the organs of digestion and nutrition are weakened and do not act properly. the symptoms of ill health that follow are many and varied. There is often a feeling of heaviness in the stomach,, there is distress and nervousness, dizziness, nausea, nervous and, sick headaches, inability to sleep well, pains in the side and limbs, specks before the eyes and a general peevish, irritable condition. All these troubles are the direct result of indigestion. Cure this by strengthening the stomach and digestive system with Miona stomach tablets and your symptoms of ill health will vanish like dew before the morning snn; life will be joyous, and digestion will be so natural that you will forget you have a stomach Miona stomach tablets cost but 50c a box and are sold by B F. Fendig under an absolute guarantee that they will be successful in every case where used according to directions or money will be refunded.

An exchange tells of a lady who has found a sure way of mending broken dishes. If the dish that is to be mended can be tied together with a stout string, then placed in boiling milk and left one hour, you can never tell the dish had been broken and it cab afterwards safely be put intq boiling water without the pieces coming apart.

OBITUARY,

Hoffman' Keen was born at Chillicothe, Ohio. May 6th, 1830, and died at his home near Goodland, Indiana, August 26th, 1906, aged 76 years, 3 months and 20 days. In September 1852 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Gray of Mericns, Indiana, who passed on before him. To this union were born three sons and six daughters: Mrs. William Ferri 11 of Oklahoma, Mrs. Charles Patrick of Rensselaer, Indiana, Mrs. Lillie Meredith, Mrs. William Streight, and Mrs. Lewis Spaulding, William Keen and Harvey Keen, all of Goodland; Mrs Reese Clinton of Brook, Indiana, and Nathan Keen of Remington, Indiana. All of the nine children survive him, and also one brother, Nathan; and two sisters, Mrs. Susan Simons and Mrs. Sarah Perry of Laclede, Illinois. For three or four years Mr. Keen has been in poor health and gradually fading. During last winter he had a severe attack of lagrippe, that disease so dreaded by people past middle life. From that attack he never fully recovered. About three weeks ago he was compelled by weakness to take to his bed, and grew rapidly worse until the end came at 10 o’clock Sunday morning. He was conscious until a few hours before he passed away. His last articulate words were a prayer: “O, Lord, help!” In early life our brother was converted and united with the Dunkard church, of which church he lived for several years a consistent and faithful member. He afterward withdrew Jrom the church, and never united with any other, but the general testimony is that he lived a consistent upright life. He was a true and faithful husband and a kind, loving father. For nearly forty years he lived in and near Goodland where he had many acquaintances and true friends—all of whom bear testimony to bis many excellent qualities. To his loving children who were with him and ministered with loving hands to his every want, he expressed the assurance that he had no fears of death, but a certainty of meeting again his beloved companion. We trust that ’"He whodoeth all things well,” and who is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind, has forgiven every sin and welcomed our brother to his eternal home. The funeral was held at the home at 3 o’clock p. m., Monday, the 27th. It was conducted by the pastor of the Methodist church, and was attended by a great company of friends and neighbors. * See Baughman & Williams for fire insurance.

LITTLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY?

Just for Fun. The Bummer folk* will booh be home From hazy, country skies And in their oM, accustomed haunts Will swap their fishing Ilea Beauty, when unadorned, is adorned the most, but few women believe it A rainy Sunday is always a great calamity for a woman who has a new dress and wants to wear it. The man who masters his own appetite is a strong willed man and capable of great success. There’s heaps o’ joy In this life o’ ours! Ferglt th’ thorns, iAn’ jist pluck th’ fiow’rs! Voltaire says a serpent which has been spat upon will quickly devour himself. Hard drinkers should paste this in their hats. There is only one thing that makes a man madder than being misquoted by the newspapers, and that is not to be quoted at all. e Nervous women frequently have the deplorable habit of suffering imaginary calamities, their mental distress often being parallel to that they would endure did the real calamities overtake them. Thousands of women in this great land of ours, good women, too, who are kind-hearted and' loving, spend more time coddling a fern or a pug dog than they do encouraging and helping some poor, struggling human being to get a start in the world. The WISE MERCHANT. The wisest merchant in the Fall Is he that advertises. And clears his store of remnant goods And Illy sorted sizes. He gives the printer man his ad. Aud thus turns stock to money, While other merchants doze around And never gather honey. It’s just as easy as can be To win the business prizes— Just imitate the fellow who Cuts loose and advertises! I had always supposed that “Old Grimes . . . that good old man,” was the only literary character who wore “a long black coat all buttoned down before,” but I find that Albert G. Green is not the only writer to immortalize this fashion. Halliwell in his “Nursery Rhymes of England” refers to the same coat all buttoned down before except that the color was brown and the man who wore it was “Old Abrahadi Brown” and in the Matherne churchyard there stands a stone inscribed: “John Lee is dead, that good old man— We ne'er shall see him more; He used to wear an old drab coat All buttoned down before;” —from which I infer that, aside from the color, many quaint old fellows must have assisted in making popular the long coat “all buttoned down before.”

The Sweethearts of a Boy.

Love and the mating instinct come early to the boy. I was scarcely six and Just beginning .school when I formed an attachment for Nellie Grant (which wasn’t her name at all, but one I supply for personal reasons) and longed for the time when I would be a man and could carry her home to mother. I didn’t think, in those days, of having an independent establishment of my own. The love for my mother was too great to permit any premeditation of a nest without her. Nellie was a blue-eyed sweetheart, of happy face, red lips and light-brown curls. She said “Good morning,’’ shyly at the schoolhouse gate and shrank from my boyish roughness, which is always the mask of boy love. I worshiped her so truly that I stoutly maintained her as my preference when my aunt joked me about her and the boys twitted me of "having a girl.” As time passed, I grew bolder, but Nellie seemed always afraid of me and when, one day in an outburst of affection, I pulled her pig-tail, yelled “Hi,” and ran away to hide my embarrassment, and she cried, I was besieged by grief and baffled by Cupid. This was the extent of our lovemaking. Nellie soon grew away from me, and while I was still adoring her, acquired a real beau who walked home with her one night from the schoolhouse. Awful season of unrequited love, I feel thy blasting influence still! And then, it seems but yesterday, Nellie ran away with a ne’er-do-well and married him. She came back alone in a year or two, when I was in my baseball epoch, and took in plain sewing to support herself and child. He had deserted her. Back yonder in beautiful Riverside a grassy mound marks where she sleeps and covers all but memory of that first sweetheart of mine. Over the grave birds carol and the elm trees throw their silhouetted shade. A stone’s throw away the Cedar laps upon the shore and sings a crooning lullaby to those who slumber in the City of the Dead. God rest her. She was a pure dewdrop in Life's ocean of brine, a spring anemone in the heart-garden of love.
