Henry W.

He had intended to go to Washington and take up a olaim there, bat the reports of friends who are there about scarcity of work and the laying off of thonsands of men beoauae of of the money panics has decided him to abandon his first formed plan, and he will go to Wisconsin instead.

Henry Davis, the opera honse moving picture showman, has gone to Delphi with his wife, the fortuneteller, and his show ontfit. The fortune-teller was located in a room north of The Democrat office while in Rensselaer, and the number of shekels she gathered in demonstrated that Oklahoma town lot purchasers are not the only easy marks hereabouts. The first week they were here she averaged abont $lO per day telling fortunes, and probably took in about S2OO from this source during the two mouths they were here.

Mr. Parks holds the responsible position of station agent on the Monon at Bainbridge, and The Demoorat joins his Jaspfer county friends in extending hearty congratulations.

Bro. Healey of the Republican went to Indianapolis Thursday to be incolated again with the Fairbanks virus. The first injection at Lafayette some time ago did not “take” extra well with the republican editors, hence the necessity for the second dose. It is not thought after this final ronnd-op is made, and the party whip is applied to the large number of recalcitrant editors thai there will be many of them who will prove im'mane. A bitter dose indeed, but the machine says “swallow it,” swallow it they will. We even expect John Carr of the Fowler Leader will now be “good” and drink his Fairbanks cocktails without making a wry face. Subscribe for the Democrat.

Those Wall Charts advertised elsewhere as premiums with The Democrat, have been going rapidly this week.

The Illinois Steel plant at South Chicago has shat down indefinitely, throwing 7,000 men ont of employment. There is no disguising the fact that conditions are not improving very fast in the business world, ana the cities are full of unemployed men. At Columbus, Ohio, in order to relieve the unemployed who have been thrown out of work in the factories, the city council has asked the board of service to employ as many as possible-on all public works. The men are to receive 10 cents per hour, and to secure work must have oertifioates from the factories that laid them off on account of the slack times.

Smith And Webb, the Winamac train riders oharged with burglarizing Marsh Bros, store at Burnettsville the night before Sheriff Oglesby of Pnlaski county was killed by the gang of tramps, were tried in the White cironit court last week and found guilty. It seems that the pushing of this charge was for the purpose of connecting then more fully with the more serious crime of the murder of Sheriff Oglesby, to show that they had committed the burglarly and therefore had good reason to want to escape from the officers when the sheriff attempted to arrest them. The death of the member of the gang who is supposed to have tired the fatal shot made this more necessary on the part of the state, it is said.

T. H. Robertson recieved a telegram Tuesday morning apprising him of the death of his sister, Mrs Mattie Fullerton, whioh occurred Monday night at Cadilac, Mich., where she resides. Mrs. Fullerton had been in poor health for some time, but was thought to be improving and the announcement of her death came as a great shock and surprise to Mr. Robertson. About two weeks ago Mr. Robertson and his sister who resides at Wadena visited Mrs. Fullerton and when his sister came home a few days ago she wrote Mr. Robertson that Mrs. Fullerton was much better when she left her. Deceased was forty-two years old and is survived by bet husband and five children. The funeral occurred at Cadilac, Mr. Robertson leaving by the early train Wednesday morning to attend the obseques.—Wolcott Enterprise.

FINE CUCUMBERS.

Fall Preparation of Land Described by a Gardener. I have been farming and gardening all my life, writes A. M. Dunnaron at Sangamon county, 111., In Americas Agriculturist As soon ns one crop to out of the way I begin to prepare for another. The ground for cucumbers to prepared in the fall. I begin by throwing out and making big holes, then filling these with barnyard manure. I throw back on the top the earth taken out of the boles. About May 1

PRIZE WINNERS.

the following year I sow my cucumber seeds In these prepared places. I use different kinds of the large varieties, several of which are shown In the accompanying Illustration. To keep off encumber beetles I use a small frame covered with thin cloth. This of course can only be utilized while the plants are smalL Deviled Lobster. Take the flesh from a lobster and chop very finely, sprinkle with a little cayenne pepper, a dessertspoonful of chutney, a little melted butter and a tomato cut up small. These must be stewed over a fire, stirring till they boll; add a little mixed mustard (French) also if available. Have ready some neat squares of fried bread and put some of the deviled lobster on each and sprinkle finely chopped parsley over. > ' Shrink Goods Before Using. To prevent cotton goods from fading place in a tub with enough water to cover them, first having added two handfuls of salt and a cup of vinegar. Allow them to remain overnight In this solution and then press in the usual way. This should be done before the goods have been washed. Goods which have not j et been made into a garment also are shrunk by this process. Corncob Charcoal. Where ear corn is being fed the cobs should be raked up frequently and burned in a slow fire. This slow fire can be secured by barely covering the cobs with earth. This will produce a nice lot of charcoal which the pigs seem to relish and which acts as a general conditioner upon their system.
