Nervous Break-Down Nerve energy is the force that controls the organs of respiration, circulation, digestion and elimination. When you feel weak,. nervous, irritable, sick, it is often because you lack nerve energy, and the process of rebuilding and sustaining life is interfered with. Dr. Miles’ Nervine has cured thousands of such cases, and will we believe benefit if not entirely cure you. Try it. "My nervous system gave away completely, and left me on the verge of the grave. I tried skilled physicians but' got no permanent relief. I got so bad I had to give up„»ny business. 1 began taking Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine. In a few days I was much better, and I continued to Improve until entirely cured. I am in business again, and never miss an opportunity to recommend this remedy." MRS. W. L. BURKE, Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Your druggist sells Dr. Mlles’ Nervine, and we authorize him to ret“ rn price of first bottle (only) if it falls to benefit you. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind

Weak Kidneys Weak Kidneys, rarely point to weak kidney Berres. The Kidneys, like the tHeart, and the Stomach, find their weakness, not in the organ itself, hut in the nerves that control and guide and strengthen them. Dr. Shoop's Restorative is a medicine specifically prepared to reach these controlling nerves. To doctor the Kidneys alone, is futile. It is a waste of time, and of money as well. If your back aches or is weak, if the urine scalds, or is dark and strong, if you have symptoms of Brights or other distressing or dangerous kidney disease, try Dr. Shoop's Restorative a month— Tablets or Liquid—and see what it can and will do lor you. Druggist recommend and sell Dr. Shoop’s Restorative A. F. LONG.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Brief Item* of Interest to City and Country Readers. Sale bills printed while you wait at the Democrat office. Francisville’s last saloon closed last week and that thriving town is now in the “dry” belt. The ball game here Saturday betweeta Pleasant Ridge and Parr resulted in favor of the former by a score of 19 to 13. North Bend and California townships in Starke county climbed on the water wagon last week by substantial majorities. Morocco Courier: Hiram Day of Rensselaer has the contract for building the chimneys and plastering John Kennedy’s new house. Editor Baughman of the Mt. Ayr Pilot has organized a carnival company and is giving his principal attention to it nowadays. It is rumored that he is about to sell the Pilot. It is estimated that there were 20,000 people at the big democratic meeting at Bloomfield last week. Hon. W. J. Bryan was the attraction, and the big turnout demonstrated the feeling in that neck o’ the woods toward the talented Nebraskan. Last Wednesday was the third anniversary of the blowing up cf the Tom McCoy residence in Rensselaer. The house still stands in practically the same tumble-down condition that it was the next morning after it was dynamited. The Democrat was held up again this week by the print paper trust. Bought two tons and paid $5 more per ton than the same paper cost sixty days ago. But we had to have the paper, And this is one of the trusts that Roosevelt busted, too! Another large invoice of bond and type-writer paper just received at The Democrat office. We carry the largest line of bond papers of any office in Jasper county and can fit you out with anything you want in this line, either as to weight, quality and price. The old Marshall bouse on East Washington street was moved last week to the former Spitler lot, South of the Presbyterian church where it will be converted into a tenant house by B. S. Fendig, who purchased the house of Dr. Washbum, the present owner of the Marshall property. Ed Oliver, the Newland real estate agent, reports having sold three more farms last week, two in the Gifford district, and one, the Page farm of 160 acres in Gillan tp., to Ernest Rover of Lafayette, at 112,000, The Gifford farms are an 80 and 160 adjoining, sold to Thomas Pratt and sons, of Newland, for >IB,OOO.

It is said that President McDoel of the Monon will soon make his annual trip of inspection over his system for the purpose of securing data to assist him in making his annual report. The engineering department will recommend that several old depots be replaced with new ones, and it is hoped that Rensselaer may be included in this list. An election has been called for Thursday, Dec. 4, to vote a one Ser cent subsidy in Gilboa tp., enton county for the proposed Lafayette-Chicago electric road. If the elections carry in Carpenter and Gilboa tps., it will probably bring about $50,000 in the two townships, and with the subsidy already voted in Marion tp., will make about $90,000, with a whole lot more townships yet to hear from. v Joseph Gunyon of Union tp., was arrested and arraigned before Squire Irwin Saturday night for imbibing too much from the cup that cheers. He was fined $5 and costs $13.05 in all, which he paid. He stated that he got the liquor in Rensselaer, but the party he got it from was a friend and he would not give him away. This, we believe is only the third or fourth arrest in Rensselaer for drunkenness since the town went “dry,” over a year ago. Frank Burns was attacked Saturday evening with a severe case of strangulated hernia. Dr. Milller was called in and recognizing the necessity, for prompt action, telegraphed Dr. W. W. Bacon of Englewood, 111., who with Dr. Starns, an interne of the Englewood hospital, arrived on the early train Sunday morning and as soon as it got daylight an operation was performed which saved his life and he is no w getting along as well as could be expected from the operation.

The Democrat has recently got in a nice line of wedding invitations and has the handsomest series’ of type for invitations to be found in any print shop in this section of tne state —plate script, text, or light-faced gothic. Order your invitations at this office and you are sure of a neat, up-to-date job. The contracts for 20 miles of stone road were let in White county last week. The McDonald system, 17 miles, let to M. J. Hanawalt at >46,795.12, and the C. W. Metz road, 3 miles, to Levendowski & Kruse, at >IO,BOI. White is becoming known as one of th e best roads counties in this section of the state. The stone crushers were moved last week to the north side of the river and are now set up on the Rumley land, east of Kellner’s ice house. The short pieces of unfinished road near Alf Donnelly’s, north of town, and the Division and Main street improvement in town will be the next completed, we understand. W. L. Porter has sold his 80 acre farm north of town, the former C. F. Stackhouse farm, to H. J. Gowland, whose land it joins on the south. This gives Mr. Gowland 200 acres altogether. The price paid was >95 per acre. Mr. Porter has gone to Mitchell, So. Dak., in company with C. J. Dean<,. to close up the deal for a farm near there which be was recently looking at. The habit of swearing is not only odious and wicked but also foolish, because it is so generally useless. Swearing never cured a toothache, or cancelled a bad bargain, or prevented a shower from wetting down a hayload. In fact it is of no use whatever except in the newspaper business, where it is of considerable assistance in reading proof and absolutely necessary in getting to press; and it is sometimes found to be of benefit to the editor in looking over the paper after it has been issued. But with these exceptions the practice is utterly needless and inexcusable. PAY HIGHEST POULTRY PRICES. We are now ready to receive your poultry, eggs, hides, junk, for which we will at all times pay the highest price justified by the market. We want you to give us a chance in everything you have to sell in our line and we shall at all times justify your trade by square dealing. We are conveniently located just west of the Makeever House, in the old’ f Cline stand. Give us a call. Will. Murray, Phone 425. Will Simons.

TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT.

When yon have a legal notice, finch ae notice of appointment as executor or administrator, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notice that the clients themselves control, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Democrat, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Hemember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much less for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County Democrat.

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 Democrat to 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. Dur 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.

Owing to the great success met by the management of the World’s Pure Food show to be held in Chicago at the Coliseum next November the time for the exposition has been extended.

Hoyne announced yesterday that the contracts for building the booths and scenic work has been let and that these features alone will involve an outlay of over $20,000. The exposition is the most elaborate that has ever been planned for the Coliseum, and the promin&de of all nations in itself will eclipse the Streets of Paris Show held in the Coliseum last winter. Over three thousand incandescent lights will be used in the decoration scheme. This number does not include nearly a thousand winch will stud a miniature Eiffel tower which will rise from four booths in the center of the building to the roof. The color scheme for the booths will be uniform and worked out in gold and white. At each end of the building there will be an enormous sunburst and a huge windmill in action. Among prominent exhibitors who have signed contracts for space within the last ten days are The Calumet Baking Powder Co., which was the first of the big baking powder firms to apply for representation, Bra un & Fitts, Wash-burn-Crosby Co., Dodson Braun Mfg.
