We publish this week a synopsis of previous chapters of the very interesting story now being published in The. Democrat, so that new subscribers may take up the story at this stage and have an intelligent idea of that part already published. ’xThe great storm of the year passed over the southern states last Saturday and arrived in Rensselaer at one a. m. Saturday morning. While there was a terrlffic wind for some time there was no hail in this vicinity, and the damage done consisted in blowing over several fruit trees. Ike Fisher, the barber, who has his shop in the former hose-cart house north of Snedeker & Nichols’ meat market, near the depot, which has recently been remodeled for his use, moved his family here this week from Wheatfield and occupies the Wheeler property on East Vine street official calls for the democratic senatorial, representative and judicial conventions appear elsewhere in this paper. The two former will be held in Monon on Wednesday, May 6, and the latter in Mt. Ayr on Wednesday, May 13. Delegates to each of said conventions have heretofore been selected in this county. New subscribers to The Democrat this week by postoffices: Parr, 2; Mt. Ayr, 1; Francesville, R. 5, 1) Goodland, R. X 1J Remington, 17; Remington, R. 2,2; Remington, R. 3,1; Remington, R. 4,2; Fowler, R. 1,1; Rensselaer, R. 4,3; Monte Vista, Colo., 1; Craig, Colo., 1; Rensselaer, 6; Monon, R. 18, 1; Harvard, Mich., 1; Forssman, 1; Lee, 2; McCoysburg, 11; Britton, So.

' Mr. Delaney Martin of Cincinnati formerly of Rensselaer, and Miss Alice K. Lear of Highland Park, Va., were married at the home of the bride a ago. 'kMlss Jennie Parklson, daughter of James Parklson, went to Sqnta Anita, Cali., Thursday afternoon to join her sister Harriet, who has been there some time for her health.

Conference, died at his home in South Bend last week from uraemic poisoning, aged about 75 years. A. J. Harmon has moved Into the John Makeever tenant house east of the public square, lately vacated by Joe Jackson, instead of the Robt. Michaels property on South Van Rensselaer street, as first intended. William Bennett has let the contract for a new house to be built on his 40 acre farm just west of town. He had all arrangements made to build four years ago, even to the lumber on track, when WiW McCoy bank failure swept his funds away—they being on deposit there —and he had to postpone the building.

VMr. Earl Barkley of Rensselaer and Miss Karrie Irene Lanham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Lanham of south of town, were married Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. H. L. Kindig. They will reside with the groom’s mother, Mrs. Sarah Barkley in town, for the present. We have several more of those handsome and instructive Wall Charts on hand that we have been advertising, and you will regret it if you don’t get one. In subscribing or in renewing your subscription ask to see one of them if we forget to mention them. Remember they are but 35 cents additional to either new subscriber or renewals; 45 cents if* sent by mail. W. F. Reynolds writes us from Pleasant Prairie, Wis., and says: “Enclosed find $2 for two years subscription to The Democrat. Will drop you a letter in a few days and tell you something of our crops here, as I see you have them often. I bought ten bushels of seed corn through an ad in your paper, and it is very nice looking corn. I got it from Wm. Washburn. We enjoy The Democrat very much. Wishing you success, I remain, etc.,” W. F. Reynolds. Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana, “accredited” by the State Board for preparing teachers for all classes, A, B and C, according to the new law, will open its summer term May 12th and its raidsummer term June 9th.

In addition to the above work there will be the regular and review classes in all the subjects taught during any Other session of the year.

Salrin of Walker tp., \|as down on tax-paying business Monday and spent Monday night with his son-in-law, J. G. Andrus, north of town. Mr. Salrin is 74 years of age, yet appears fifteen years younger, and up to a little more than a year ago when he got so terribly trampled upon by a horse that his life was despaired of for some time, was as active as a man half his age. He has pretty well recovered from his injuries but of course does not feel as supple as before. X Anyway, the "catch” at the Rosenbaum hotel Saturday demonstrated that the drug stores have not been selling all the booze that has been consumed in Rensselaer, as the Republican has been trying to make it appear. Perhaps it will be found some of these days also, when some customer "peaches,” that there are one or two other places in town that have been dong considerable td relieve the "draught.” It will never be “known,” however, until something of that kind occurs. Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Harmon celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary at their home on Weston street Monday evening. About fifty of their friends and relatives were present and were entertained by music and cards. Lunch was served and Mr. and Mrs. Harmon received a number of handsome presents. Those from out of town tn attendance were Archie McMullen of Forest, 111., and Frank Quinn of Strawn, 111., uncle\ and brother, respectively, of Mrs. Harmon, and Mrs. Howard Myers of Brook, a cousin of' Mr. Harmon’s.

Vp. H. Zea of Atlantic Highland, with his bride, formerly Miss Dorothea Louise Werner of Brooklyn,, N. Y„ has been visiting relatives in Monon and elsewhere in this vicinity the past week. 'W Ir George Heil and Miss „Ada Huber, both of Wheatfield township, were maaried at Monon Wednesday and returned to Wheatfield Thursday. Thursday evening about sixty Wheatfleldians surprised them at their home on the Jessup farm with an old-fashioned charivari. J\Geo. W. Goff has sold his restaurant business to Van Grant, who will take possession Sunday night, May 3rd. Mr. Goff has been in the restaurant and hotel business here for 22 years, and retires only because the incessant work day and night have told on his health, and for the last four months he has been scarcely able to take care of his business. He does not intend leaving town but as yet has made no plans for the future. Joseph L. Mendenhall, deputy sheriff of Danville, Ind., came here yesterday and arrested Earl Gray, a paroled prisoner wanted for forging a check for $125. Gray brought his wife and child here some weeks ago and they have tenanted on a farm in Gillam township. Gray was sent up for larceny to serve from one to five «years, was paroled and got himself into trouble within thirty days afterwards. He has no relatives living in this part of the country.—Francesville Tribune. jtWm. M. Hoover, south of town,

ie preparing to build one of the finest horse barns in Jasper county. It will have a* cement wall two feet thick all around for the foundation and the entire lbwer floor will be of cement. It will have a Mansard roof, guttered, etc., and when completed will be, it is said, the best and most convenient horse barns in the county. He will also remodel his cattle bqm and build a new corn crib* 32x48 with cement floor and ten foot driveway through the center. Here it is May, and that "excursion” to Hallett, Oklahoma, where several of our citizens bought lots last winter, has not been run yet. The visions of a Pullman palace car trip to the Oklahoma Eldorado, that were so alluringly painted by the agents who sold the lots here, seem to have vanished and gone, and the purchasers seem to have none the best of those who “bought” Canadian lands a few years ago. Mr. E. Z. Mark seems to have a whole lot of near relatives in Rensselaer. This has been a busy week for the Rensselaer lodges. Monday evening the I. O. O. F., celebrated the 89th anniversary of their order at their lodge rooms, at which refreshments were served and a very pleasant time enjoyed by all. Tuesday evening the K. of P’s. entertained some 35 members of the Remington K. of P. lodge, at which work in the third degree was done by the visiting lodge, after which a fine supper was served. Thursday evening the Royal Arch Masons gave a blow-out, at which some 30 members were present and two candidates were exalted to the sublime degree. A fine supper was served and a most excellent time enjoyed by all. Any person who has concluded that there is no wild game in this country can disabuse his mind by spending a morning near McCoysburg. The booming of the prairie chicken, the song of the thunderpumper, and the shrill note of the “rail,” will remind him of the times when, with pants rolled up so high that they would roll no higher, he hunted birds’ eggs, and was occasionally chased by a young pumper, or scared almost out *of his hide by a drove of muskrats swimming through the water-grass at the rate of 15 miles a minute, more* or leas. Those were times when the beys had fun and they didn’t need any “terbacker” either, to dwarf the stature or cloud the intellect. Boys now don’t know anything about fun. We have put out in the past few months several hundred of The Democrat’s Wall Charts, nearly fifty going to subscribers in other states, and in not a single instance have we had a word of complaint—everyone has been well pleased with them and scores of people have written or told us they were worth double the 35 cents additional asked for them. Read the description of them on another pagq and it you come to townWUln) and see a sample chart. You will want one when you/ know what they are, and the supply now on hand will not last long. When these are gone we shall not get any more, as the publisher* have recently raised the price on them and we had to get these in 600 lots in order to put them out at the price we have, 35 cents additional to the regular subscription price of The Democrat.

Dr. A. J. Miller went to Englewood with Lew Stover Thursday, who will be operated on for hernia.

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Read, If You Are a Sufferer from Catarrh, Reason and Reflect* “My wife and I will swear that Hyomei cured me of the worst case of catarrh that ever existed. I used to cough constantly at night, and had a dropping in the throat, which kept me awake a great deal. I raised thick phlegm, and was in a horrible condition. However, I am entirely cured solely through the use of Hyomei.” Dr. Philip Z. Hart, Laconia, N. H. Reader, this is* one of the thousands of testimonials praising the marvelous curative power of Hyomei. If you are a sufferer, why not try it? B. F. Fendig guarantees it, and will refund your money if it fails to cure. Hyomei is not a stomach nostrum; it is dry antiseptic and medicated air, and all you have to do to cure any disease of the nose, throat or lungs, is to breathe it in through the Hyomei inhaler. A Hyomei outfit, including a scientific inhaler, only costs >1.00./ Get one today. Subsequent treatment is -only 50 cents a bottle. Get one now. B. F. Fendig takes all the risk.
