Democrats should remember the township conventions called for today to select delegates to the county convention which is to be held on next Saturday. Y Don’t be fooled by the fine weathfer of the past few days and go to planning garden-making. Remember what a fine March we had last year and how fierce an April. The Chicago horse buyers bought fourteen head of horses here Saturday which they shipped Out that night. They will be hete again one week from to-day—March 21. X The Iroquois reached the highest sthge ever known in Rensselaer last Friday night, and it has not at this writing, Friday morning, receded •nough to again flow within its banks. , X Frank Messman and Fred Schnit<ker who have been living on the Frank Lakin farm in Union township for the past few years, have moved to Benton county, Frank to Fowler and Mr. Schnitker to a farm a few miles south of Kentland.

The Chicago horse buyers will be in Rensselaer again on Saturday, March 21, at Knapp’s livery barn. If you haye any horses to dispose of bring them in on that day to Knapp’s barn. Geo. Nicholson writes us from Burlington, Wyo., to change the address of his Democrat from Otto, Wyo., to Burlington, and says: “We are having the finest winter here we ever saw; no mud or storms and no snow to speak of. Everything fine; beats Indiana.” There is little doing about the clerk** office these days except the issuing of hunters’ licenses. Since March first 33 resident licenses have been issued, the fee for which is $i each. This fee is sent to the Auditor of State, the clerk receiving no part of it whatever. kA new grocery store will be opened next week in the Leopold room west of Duvall & Lundy’s clothing stor?, to be known as the “Home Grocery.” It will be under the maniagement of Frank and Arthur Rowire, a couple of well known and excellent young men of Rensselaer. Frank Brusnahan writes us to change the address of his Democrat from Odessa, Wash., to Frederick, Okla., where he expects to locate in the practice of law. He says: “As Oklahoma is democratic we must guard her youthfulness and purity by having at least one good democratic paper constantly entering her portals. Our newspaper brethren who have had experiecne in installing new machinery and met with the customary difficulty of securing just the right shafting, pulleys, etc., in a country town to give the proper speed, can realize what the Democrat has been up against this week in getting its new Linotype in proper running order. The Democrat's new linotype did not arrive until Monday evening, when it should have got here Saturday, and the work of setting it-up and getting it in proper working order has necessarily interfered with the news feature of this week’s issue for which we ask the indulgence of our readers. The new machine will be in proper working order for next week and the usual amount of local news will appear. Thomas Driver, wife and son Charley of Barkley township leave the first of the week for their new home near Lewiston, Mich. Their car will be loaded today at Parr and Charlie will leave with it Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Driver will leave here Tuesday morning for Chicago where they will take the M. C. road to Lewiston. We are sorry to lose such good people from Jasper county, but hope they will l»* happy in their new home. JsThe funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth srown, widow of Xteorge Headley Brown, deceased, was held from the Christian church Sunday afternoon conducted by Revs. Clarke and Parrett, and interment made in Weston cemetery. Deceased had been a resident of this county for nearly 70 years, coming here with her parents to Barkley township in 1841. Of the ten children born to her, one son, George H. Brown of Knox, and five daughters, Mrs. Evaline Randle, Mrs. Rebecca Porter, Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, Mrs. Agnes Coen of Rensselaer and Mr*. Minerva Karsner of Oroville, Cal., survive.

The remonstrance now In force in Union township was filed for the April, 1906, term of commissioners* court, and therefore expires the latter part of this month, dating two years from the time filed. There were , 209 votes cast in Union for secretary of state in 1906, therefore it will be necessary to secure 105 signers to the remonstrances now being circulated there to defeat license. 4 Mr. Leonard Turner of Monticello, who graduated several months ago from Winona Technical Institute at Indianapolis, is in charge of The Democrat’s new Linotype. Mr. Turner is sufficiently well versed in machinist work that he was able to put the complicated machine together and get it in perfect running order without the aid of an expert from the sales office. He is also a printer of no mean ability and has held a position on the Monticello Herald for the past few years. Before coming to Rensselaer he held the position of machinist-operator on the Charleston (Ill.) Daily Plaindealer. The Democrat’s article of last week regarding the "Monnett Children’s Home” has been commented on con* siderably since its appearance, and has met the general approbation of the people of Rensselaer. A great many citizens have taken the pains to call at the office and personally express their commendation and the courage of The Democrat in coming out Square-toed and freely expressing an opinion which must be generally endorsed .by the thoughtful ones. Several warm commendations have also been received by letter. Only one disapproving voice has been heard, and we are sure that "if this person would carefully consider the matter they too would be forced to say that the Democrat was right, and that the "home” should receive no encouragement whatever from our people. THE NEW STATE Of Oklahoma offers a splendid field for investments in farm lands—corn, cotton and alfalfa, hogs and cattle. Poultry raising also very profitable.

WHY MEN GET ANGRY. The Facts In Regard to That Nioe Little Game at the Goitts*. The Joneses, Mr. and Mrs., went over to spend the evening with the Goitts the other evening, because people get tired of staying at home all the time and just listening to each other’s palaver. By and by Mr. Goltt suggested that they all draw up around Mrs. Goltt’s little sewing table and have a nice friendly game of poker for an hour or ■o. Everybody wanted to show that he or she was a sure enough sport, all rightski, and then one always has an Idea at the beginning of a poker game that Just as like as not he can make the evening profitable a* well as merely pleasant Mrs. Goltt and Mrs. Jones were about even in their working knowledge of the great national game, and the men folks therefore backed them up cheerfully, assuming that they would break about even. After a half hour or so of play the visitors took the lead, as the sporting editor might say. It was only a penny ante, five cent limit game; but, then, people have been known to clean up a first rate little bunch of pin money in even such a juvenile game as that, and Jones already had his chips stacked up into four cute little cylinders in front of him. Mrs. Jones would reach over and borrow ten chips or so now and again, and a momentary frown would flit over her husband’s brow, but he didn’t say anything. By and by Jones took notice of the fact that Mrs. Jones was reaching over into his subtreasury vaults and picking up chips half a stack at a time and putting them into the pot as fast as she could meet Mr. Goltt’s bets and raise him back again. Mr. Jones looked at her when he saw his hoard of chips disappearing in a way that inquired plainly, “Are you sure you’ve got it on him?” “Got a straight!” whispered Mrs. Jones when she found opportunity to whisper without being observed, and Jones gave her a look that said, “Go as far as you like,” for straights had been pretty good that evening, and the pot, after the way it had been sweetened, looked worth while. Finally Mr. Goltt called her. “All I’ve got is three ladles,” he said in a tone of polite Inquiry, laying down his hand. “Well, I have a straight,” gurgled Mrs. Jones; “see—queen, king, ace, deuce, trey!” Mr. Jones gave her a look that told her something was amiss before Anybody had time to say a word. “Why, the ace comes after the king, doesn’t it?” she inquired. “And doesn’t the two spot come after the ace and the three spot after the two spot? I’d just like to know why that isn’t a straight!” Mr, Jones watched Mr. Goltt rake in the pot and didn’t say anything—not Just then.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A RECORD BREAKER.

Last Years’ Sales of Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh, Larger Than Ever. So pronounced is the relief and cure following the use of Hyomei, that it has been publicly recommended by leading druggists and physicians in nearly every state and town in the country, with the result that last year’s sales were larger than ever. The fact that Hyomei is so simple and complete, and that it cures catarrh by breathing medicated air and not taking drugs into the create this widespread and rapidly increasing army of friends. You do not risk a penny in testing the healing power of Hyomei, for B. F. Fendig will sell you a dollar outfit with a distinct guarantee to refund the money if the treatment fails to give satisfaction.
