H. Eger. XMr. and Mrs. R. M. Hallagan of TJttowa, 111., who visited relatives here last week, returned home Saturday. A pair of spectacles, in case, picked up on the street last Saturday await an owner at The, Democrat office. The Kistler* grocery etock near the depot has been traded to M. L. Thomas of Monon and shipped to that place. A dozen or more football fatalities have already occurred this season and the “sport” has three weeks yet to run. Guy Daniels who has been working in Colorado, near Ft. Morgan, for several months, returned home last week. Ex-trustee Theodore Phillipe of Gillam tp., directs us to change the address of his Democrat from Medaryville to Dayton, New Mexico.

N. Osburn and son and Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Waggoner of Gillam tp, were Rensselaer visitor Monday. Harry Kresler has moved from north of the railroad into Dr. Kresler’s tenant bouse on Cullen street, lately vacated by Clyde Comer. Morocco Courier: Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Lakin, of Aurora, Neb., formerly of Jasper County, are visiting at David Prostman’s since Monday. U. M. Baughman writes us to change the address of his Democrat to7loE.Sixth St., Oklahoma City, he having bought a residence at that address. Fowler Leader: The banks of the country have resumed greenback payment. The beat currency in the world. Altho the matter is serious, it has its comic features. The Five Cent Theatre man has returned to Rensselaer and expects to remain all winter. He has leased the Leopold room on Washington street, formerly occupied by Laßue Bros., and will set up there. Fowler Republican: The corn is going to prove disappointing. The yield will not be so large as anticipated and much of it will be of very poor quality. Much of it has not matured and the crop is not going to grade high. It will have to be sorted to make it marketable.

Kentland Democrat: Nicholas Krull and son, Nicholas, Jr., were in Chicago Saturday where they met the former’s youngest brother, Frank Krull, who on that day arrived in that city from the family home in Hanover, Germany, and came to Kentland with them that night to make liis home with them for a time. John iTewis Hershman, an old resident of Jasper county, died last week at the home of hik son Alva in Gillam tp., aged 76 years, 7 months and 16 days. Deceased had been sick for a long time. The funeral services were conducted at West Vernon Christian church Saturday and interment made- in the Hershman cemetery. Miss Mary Goetz of Newton tp., one of the teachers in the W heatfield schools, received word Saturday that the schools there would remain closed this week yet owing to there being two more cases of diptheria in the Jensen family, where one death occurred last week. These two latter cases are said to be getting along nicely at this writing and it is likely the schools will reopen Monday if no new cases develop.

Arthur Putt of Jordan tp., deposited un ear of corn on our table a few days ago that measured exactly 13 inches in length. It measured 13| inches when first shucked. It was well filled out and matured although.not planted until about the 24th of June. /"Torn Cain ia nursing a sore hand these days. Some three weeks ago he cut it slightly on a transfer wheel while working in the Babcock & Hopkins elevator. Blood poisoning developed and he has been having quite a serious time with it, but it is getting better now. Miss Lena Rioheson of south of town, mention of whose critical condition was made recently by The Democrat, died Saturday morning and the remains were taken to Ewing, 111., Monday, the former borne of her parents, for burial. Deceased was a little over 28 years of age and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howell Richeson, who moved to this county from near Ewing, 111., upon a farm near Sharon a few years ago.

The football game here last Saturday between the Rensselaer militia team and the First Regiment team from Chicago resulted in neither side making a score. The rain of nearly two days had made the ground in nice condition, like a hog-wallow, so that there was not much danger of any of the players seriously injuring themselves. There was a scrap or two, it is reported, and a few blows struck but no one was badly hurt. A couple of the Rensselaer players were temporarily placed hors de combat during the progress of the game.

Times have changed in many ways. In former times when a man got a pain in his stomach, his wife laid a hot stove lid on him and the next morning he was ready to slop the hogs, feed the calf and kick the cat. Now if he gets an uncomfortable feeling back of his waist band the doctor calls it appendicitis, lays him on a table, cats a hole in his anatomy and he dies, maybe. Again, in the old days you could take your razor or your jack knife and trim your corns, put on your boots and plough all day. Now if you even scrape the top of your horny toe, blood poison sets in and off comes your leg. This is a strenuous age, and don’t you forget it. —Ex.

No other remedy or treatment for catarrh has ever been as popular or made so many remarkable cures in Rensselaer as Hyomei. The best people attest its curative virtues, says B. F. Fendig, who is the local agent. The fair way in which Hyomei was sold, to refund the money unless it gave satisfaction, was the best proof when it was introduced that it possessed unusual curative powers. B. F. Fendig took all the risk of the treatment giving satisfaction, and left it to the purchasers to be judge. Later, when Hyomei was used and recommended by our wellknown physicians and business men and their wives as a treatment that absolutely cured catarrh no matter how serious or long standing, the sales rapidly grew and to-day there is no other remedy in B. F. Fendig’s stock that has such a large and staple sale. The first breath of Hyomei’s healing air kills all catarrhal poison.' Try Hyomei to-day on B. F. Fendig’s offer to refund the money if the treatment does not give you satisfaction. . ,„ r Cured of Bright’s Disease. Mr. Robert 0. Burke, Elnora, N. writes: “Before I started to use Foley’s Kidney Cure I had to get up from twelve tb twenty times a night, and I was all bloated up with dropsy and my eyesight was so impaired I could scarcely see one of my family across the room. I had given up hope of living, when a friend recommended Foley's Kidney Cure. One 60 cent bottle worked wonders and bej fore I had taken the third bottle the dropsy had gone, as well aa all other symptoms of ' Bright s disease.” A. F. Long.

HIS BAD BREAK.

Ha Didn’t Think Ha Waa Talking to tha Woman’s Husband. The conductor looked at' the thin man. "Do you see that stout woman at the other end of the car—the one with the monkey hat?” he asked. r “I think I see the one you mean,” the thin man responded. "There, she’s looking this way,” said the conductor. "Well, sir, I admire that woman.” "You do?’ "Yes, I do. She may have a squint and wear bad fitting clothes and big shoes, yet I admire her.” "Why?’ “She knows how to get off a car tha right way, that’s why. She’s too stout and her hair Is ratty and she hasn’t any taste, but when she steps down from the back platform I never won ms. I know she'll land all right I’m Wead sure she Isn’t going to sit down In the mud and ask me for my number. That's why I admire her. Here she comes now. Watch her when she gets Off.” The stout woman came down the aisle and briskly descended to the street. And the conductor, with his hand on the bell rope, winked approvingly at the slim man. Then the stout woman looked around. t’ i ‘Come, George!” she called, and the slim man meekly followed ber.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Babu English.

The following Is a bit of amusing Babu English, taken from a letter to the Spectator as written by a Cape colored man to a trader. It is not exactly what is meant by the “African style,” but it has Its own force: Dear Sir—l recelv de blcykel witch Iby from you alrite, but why you dont sent no saddel. Wat Is de use of blcykel when she dont send have saddel. lam loose to me my kustomer sure ting by no having saddels and dat not very pleasure to me. Wat Is de matter wit you mister T. J. Jones and Companee is not my moneys as good like annoder mans you loose to me my trade and I am very anger. And now I tells to you you are a dam fools mister T. J. Jones and Companee. I send to you back at wunce your blcykel to morro for ■hure, because you are such a dam foolishness peoples. Yrs. respectfulle N. VRYLING. P. S.—Since I rite dis letter I find de saddel In de box.

A Collector.

There Is a lad of nine years In Philadelphia who recently grew most curious with reference to the profession of a gentleman of pronounced clerical appearance who frequently visited the boy’s father. In answer to the youngster's inquiry in this connection the father replied to the effect that the good man was “a saver of souls.” Not long thereafter the lad took a favorable opportunity to approach the reverend gentleman himself?: “May I ask you a question?’ said he. “Certainly, my little man,” replied the divine. “I shall be pleased to answer It.” "I only wanted to know,” was the naive query, “how many souls you’ve saved up.”—Lippincott’s.

On the Links.

Shortsighted Golfer—Eh, mon, but this Is an awfu* bonnie lie. The ba *s fairly teed up. What club will I tak? Caddie—lt’s no that I’m botherin’ aboot, sir. It’s whaur’ll we hide if ye foozle It?—Punch.

A Way Architects Have.

Towne—l don’t see why a fellow should kick if he doesn’t succeed. Every man is the architect of his own fortune. Browne—Yes, but did you ever know of an architect who didn’t blame some subcontractor for his own failure?— Philadelphia Press.

One Way to Wisdom.

T think,” said the gay youth’s father, “it’s about time you stopped this foolishness and began to acquire a little wisdom.” "My scheme,” replied the youth, "is to acquire wisdom by first determining bow foolish I can be.”—Houston Post

The Contrary Man.

"Silence is golden,” remarked the party with the quotation habit "Perhaps it is,” rejoined the contrary man, "but a dentist has never yet been able to fill teeth with it”-ChV cagoNews.

Barnyard Chatter.

"Oh, please,” asked the young hen nervously, "what’s the proper way to sit on a neat?’ "Hatch-way,” replied* the old hen, with a silly cackle.—Minneapolis Journal
