Dr. Charles Kenton, who is now located near Janesville, Wis., was in town Tuesday and Wednesday on business. Mesdames W. H. Beam and W. C. Babcock attended the grand lodge meeting of Pythian Sisters at Indianapolis this week, » Mrs. A. O. Garriott of Hammond came down Sunday to attend the birthday surprise on her father, Mr. Alex Leach, returhing to Hammond Monday. The Kentland Enterprise is having a new home built and will install some new printing machinery. The Enterprise is a good county paper and deserves its evident prosperity. N. 8. Bates raised about 300 bushels of tomatoes from a third of an acre of ground this year. He says bis tomatoes were the most profitable'of all bis truck crops this season. Mr. and Mrs. Amzi 8.

Wm. Fitzgerald of Kankakee tp., was in the city on business Monday. The frost of last week did but little damage in his immediate locality, and if it will hold off a week more there will be a good crop of corn harvested there. Ex-Congressman J. A. Hatch of Kentland, who has been prospecting in Oklahoma and Texas with a view of leaving Indiana, has decided to locate at Victoria, Texas, a town of 8,000 population about one hundred miles southeast of Houston. ■■■*., Miss Lizzie Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H.

While the frost of last week may not have done so much damage in Jasper county, or the southern and western part, yet practically all the corn is killed on the low ground between Rensselaer and Chicago, at least it so appears from the trains.

Ex-township trustee John P. Ryan was down from Gillan tp., Tuesday and Wednesday. He says the frost of last week did little apparent damage in his locality nor between his place And Rensselaer. His own corn is as good as he ever raised and there will be at least an average crop in Gillam.

Christian Gottier aged 76 years, fell dead with heart disease one day last week in the hog lot at the home of his son six miles south of Francesville and the body was not found until toward evening, when it was horribly mutilated by the hogs. The face was destroyed, one arm gone and the head almost tom from the body.

Another soaking rain fell Tuesday night. So much rain and the weather generally turning off very warm after each rain has caused the potatoes to rot badly. Our Four Corners correspondent, from near Wheatfield, says that thousands of bushels have rotted in the ground in that locality and no attempt will be made to dig them, so completely rotted are they.

Francesville Tribune: F. B. Schultz has returned to this vicinity from Lamar, Col., where he moved two years ago in hopes of benefiting his wife’s health. The change of climate availed very little in the way of improvement and they decided to return here with the prospect that nature will return to its true course and she will be restored to health again.

Mr. and Mrs. Jesse E. Wilson and two children left Saturday for their home in Washington, D. Ov J ease had been here about ten days while Mrs. Wilson and children had been visiting here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wasson, for about two months. Mr. and Mrs. Wasson expected to leave in a couple of weeks after their departure to visit them awhile, but the latter got poisoned on her arm, hand and face from poison ivy, and is having quite a serious time of it She got poisoned while in the garden,and the doctor thinks it will be two or three weeks before she fully recovers from its effects.

J. A. Williams and sod Claude returned Friday from a prospecting trip up in the vicinity of Grand Rapids and other points in Michigan. They did not invest, as it did not look very good to them. A great many peach orchards are completely dead, killed by freeze last fall and it will be several years before they can be replaced and begin bearing again. Mr. Williams was up there three years ago and was considerably taken up with the country, but this time it looked far from good to him.

The Monticello Journal had an article a few days ago about church publicity—or want of it, rather—that nearly every newspaper has run up against. It has repeatedly stated that its columns were open free to any pastor whp desired to announce the services at his church, and it made a point for some time to ’phone all the pastors and ask for their announcements. “Some took interest enough in the matter to give the required information, others did not and acted as if they were grieved at being bothered,” says the Journal. It further states that if it donates the space to give due prominence to the services it feels thatothers should take enough interest to prepare the notices, and that hereafter if the Journal does not contain announcements of the religious services at the different churches of the town, its readers can understand that those (having charge of such work do not take interest enough in it to give it any publicity.

REMINGTON HOGS WIN.

J. A. Teter with his herd of Duroc Jerseys and J. W. Lock with his Poland Chinas have again demonstrated that Remington leads the world in producing prize winners in these two leading strains. Mr. Teter won 11 prizes out of a possible 13 at the Michigan state fair at Detroit, 6 seconds, 3 thirds and 3 Championships, including Grand Champion Boar. Grand Champion Sow, Junior Champion Boar, both Premier Championships and all herd % prizes offered. This is a sweep that any breeder would be proud to as the classes were large and competition keen. At the Indianapolis state fair he was again victorious, winning 4 first premiums, leading all Duroc exhibitions in this respect, 2 second premiums and one fourth. His sales were very satisfactory having sold 12 bead at Detroit and 13 head at Indianapolis. At the two fairs his herd won a total of 37 prizes, S2OO in cash premiums, 2 silver cups valued at S2O each and 3 silver medals valued at $lO each. J. W. Lock exhibited at the lowa state fair where he won 14 ribbons and was robbed of several others if the report of Col. Caldwell in the Farmer’s Review is correct. At Indianapolis his herd won 15 ribbons including first in class and Championship on yearling boar, first in general herd, first on herd bred by exhibitor and grand sweepstakes on herd all ages. He also reports good sale at renumerative prices. * # *

DEATH BY VIOLENCE IN INDIANA IN AUGUST.

The deaths each month which occur by violence in Indiana, present an interesting study. The total numbesof violence deaths in 1906 was 2210, an average of 184 per month. In August of this year, the violence death numbered 186, males 151, females 35. The murders numbered 11, 2 of them being females and 9 males. The suicides numbered 17, males 18, females 4, The accidents numbered 156, males 129 and females 29. Of the accident deaths 47 were caused by steam railroads; 6 by street cars and interurbans; 15 by crushing injuries and fractures; 16 by burns and scalds; 1 by 21 by drowning; electricity, 5; lightning 1; concussion of brain, 2; machinery 2; falls 22; asphyxiation and suffocation 4; carbolic acid 2; other poisons 2; mining 3; horses and vehicles 4; gored by bull 1; sunstroke 3; not named 2. The methods of suicide are interesting. Gunshot was adopted by 6 males and 1 female, banging by 1 male, drowning by 2 males, carbolic acid by 1 male and 2 females. i Arsenic by 3 males and 1 female. It is also of especial interest to note that 47 people were killed in Indiana in one month by railroads. How many were maimed has not been reported. This is a greater casuality list from railroads alone, than occurs in Germany in a population of forty million in one year. This is sufficient evidence that our railroads are careless and the people indifferent, and yet all the time claiming to put the grefttest value upon human life. There certainly is no need of this monthly slaughter by the railroads.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT

Science Jias Now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion. A few years ago, when a sufferer from indigestion went to a stomach specialist, the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation. . ■, But the first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen '.the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines, so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, so that the food is digested readily and its nourishment retained in the system to build up energy and vitality. Do not think the sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleeplessness, and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of indigestion, will go away of themselves. The stomach must be built up and strengthened by Mi-o-na before you can be well and strong, free from suffering and distress. The guarantee that B. F. Fendig gives with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na. to refund the money unless the remedy cures, shows his confidence in the treatment.

THE PUBLIC SALE SEASON.

The season for public sales is now here and The Democrat desires to inform its farmer readers that it will be still better prepared this season than ever before for printing>sale bills. New type faces, new stock cuts, etc,, enables us to-turn out a bill that is artistically correct and that will attract attention anywhere. Auctioneers and others accustomed to seeing a large number of sale bills all over the country tell us that The Democrat gets up* the handsomest and best sale bill have ever saw, and the fact that people frequently come 15 to 25 miles to get The Uenfocrat Td~ print the bills for their sale indicates that our taste and care in getting out an artistic and typographically perfect bill is generally known and appreciated. Our prices for a bill of this character is no more than others charge for an inferior job. Remember that a free notice (in full) of the sale is published in this paper with each set of bills printed, and as “everybody reads The Democrat” your sale is bound to be well advertised if we print your bills. Call and see samples and get prices if you contemplate having a sale.

Dairy Pointers.

Good butter and cheese cannot be made from the milk of cows that are deprived of pure water. It is being gradually understood that the best cow is cheapest, regardless of the price paid for her, and for such correspondingly good prices are always obtained. Clover bay is the dairyman’s cheap substitute for costly mill stuffs.

Dairy Economy.

Poor cows and poor appliances add to the cost of milk production. Some farmer# would make more money if they would get rid of some of their poorest cows. They would save feed and labor and have the money t» Invest in tools and appliances.

THE NEWS FROM OKLAHOMA.

Got tome word from Oklahoma on the Wednesday morning wire; Just some facts about election and they filled us full of fire. • Just some good election figures, and we just leaned back and laughed At the way young Oklahoma handed limes to William Taft. Clear from Enid down to Guthrie, and from there to Chikasha Everything is democratic and we’re feeling blithe and gay. Got some word from Oklahoma and it filled us full of glee— But there’s gobs of gloom now headed straight for Washington, D. C. Got some word from Oklahoma, and we’ve swept the platter clean; Licked the grasping corporations and the carpet-bag machine. Forty thousand for the ticket—speed the news upon the way Till it bumps against the wharfing fronting on Manila Bay Ftom Kingfisher to Okmulgee, clear down to tbeTexas line. Everything is democratic and we’re feeling mighty fine. „ Bully news from Oklahoma—democratic to the core— And when Taft gets word about it he will feel almighty sore. Three times three for Oklahoma! Forty thousand! Hully gee! Please excuse us if we holler, for our souls are filled with glee. Bucked the whole administration and the g. io. p. machine. And we whipped ’em. boots and breeches—licked tbe bloomin’ platter clean. Yee, we heard from Oklahoma, and we swing our hats on high, And onr cheers crossed tbe Pscific to Manila Bay.P.l. There’s a new star on the banner and its shining mighty bright. And she’s safely democratic—Oklahoma, you’re all right. —W. M. M. in Ths Commoner.
