HsFrank Hayes of Barkley tp., tells up that his peach crop exceeded his expectations quite considerably. He thought he would have about thirty bushels, but he had picked fortyeight bushels up to Tuesday, and had about twelve bushels yet to pick.

Powers and John Sullivan, but there are quite a number living in Newton county. John Churchill is at present in a critical condition at the St. Elisabeth Hospital at Lafayette. He had two hemorrhages of the bowels the first of the week, but it is believed that he has even chances to get well. A drunken man fell off the State Fair special at Frankfort yesterday, scooting along the platform for some distance, but was hurt but little. Whether he was drunk on whiskey or on enthusiasm was not reported. The attendance at St. Joseph’s College this year was 23 more Wednesday than last year, and more to come, the total being 191. This will necessitate more room, and as a consequence more buildings will be erected next year.

It is believed that he is out of danger, however, and in a few more weeks will be out again. |s £ % J’homas Cox who has been working for Wm. Washburn on his farm in Jordan tp., was thrown from a load of grain at Foresman last Tuesday in a runaway and badly bruised over his entire body, and one ankle was sprained. No bones were broken and he will be out in two of three weeks. After the accident he was brought to the city. [Jlay Wood returned from Alberta, (fahada, where he took up a claim two years ago but forfeited his rights by not staying on it as is required by law, and another fellow got in ahead of him, and is now occupying the, land. Arthur Daugherty who went with him is still there working for a farmer and will probably take up a claim himself. Mr. Wood expects to go back to Canada later. ? •’-

Miss Clara May Pettet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Pettet, and Everet Gail Michal, son of Mr.-and Mrs. Robert” Michal, were married Wednesday at the home of the bride’s parents in Walker tp., at noon, Rev. G. H. Clarke, of Rensselaer officiating. They will live on a farm southeast of town where the groom's parents have been living until recently. The Democrat extends congratulations. G. W. Jones of Remington got home yesterday from a trip to his farm near Hitchcock, S. Dak. He was in that state about ten days, at Hitchcock, Aberdeen, and other points. The crops in that section are not the best, but are fairly good, and having had a good rain ten days ago they are In good shape for fall seeding and plowing. Mr. Jones intended to stay longer but the victorious look that overspread the face of every democrat he saw, or the water, or the fear that possessed him of Bryan’s election, mpde him sick and for that reason he came home sooner than he expected to.

rpßlanche, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ott of Barkley tp., got the front finger on the right hand caught Tuesday in the pump, while the windmill was* in motion, and so crushed It that it had to be amputated at the second Joint, Thursday. The wound is doing well at this writing. Miss Flossie and Master Everett Winters who have been spending the summer with their grandparents, A. F. Griswold’s, near Wolcott, finished their visit by spending the last two days with their uncle, Chas. Phegley, and returned to their home in Chicago Saturday. (They were accompanied home by their aunt, Miss Ara Belle Griswold, who will enter a musical conservatory. Uncle Joe Gaines went to Clarksburg, w. Va., Thursday evening for a visit of * a few weeks. He left there 53 years ago last August, and when he came away he had five brothers and five sisters, but in the more than half century Intervening they have all died. He had intended going to Minnesota, but on Wednesday he received a letter from his childhood home and determined to visit it once more.

Joseph A. Sharp came down Thursday morning for the first time since June 4, having been confined to the house, and not even being able to be on his feet until last week. Mr. Sharp has been troubled with a bunion, or something of that nature, on his foot for many years, which has many times laid him up for days at a time, but on the present occasion he has had a much worse attack that usual. . Mark Yeoman of Kingman, Kan., paid us a call yesterday morning. He will go to Hutchinson, Kan., Monday to attend the State Fair and see Uncle Felix French. We have delegated him to shake hands with Uncle Felix for us and holler hurrah for Bryan a few times. Mr. Yeoman now has over 900 acres of land, and has fed 114 cattle on the place, turning off 72 August 1, and having 42 that will be ready to go in a few days. The present hot weather covers a very wide territory, and is especially severe in the south. In Texas the thermoneter has registered as high as 112 degrees, which is unusually hot for that country even in the summertime, especially on the highlands back from the gulf influences. In the northwest and west the same complaint is heard, the weather is Very hot for this time of year, and it all came after one day of old Indian summer.

Some of the farmers east of town are complaining about town boys coming out that way hunting, and shooting about promiscously. Chickens, turkeys and ducks have been killed almost without number, we are told, and unless this is stopped an example will be made of some of these lawless youngsters in the way of a vigorous prosecution. The Democrat is requested to publish this warning, and it is hoped that it will have the effect of putting a stop to the trouble. The dredge men and the drillers still have their troubles. Wednesday afternoon the dredge encountered a ledge of rock that it could not budge, and the drill had to be set going again so the stone could be loosened with dynamite. In front of the dredge the old holes that were not blasted deep enough were pumped out and re-shot. It will be' several days yet before the creamery bridge will be replaced if no more progress is made in the next two weeks than there has been in the last two. The organization of a Bryan and Kern Club was completed Thursday evening at the office of N. Littlefield, with W. R. Nowels. President; L. E. Glazebrook, John C. Carmichael. Barney Melnbrook and John Eger, Vice-Presidents; Arthur Tuteur, Secretary; Eli Gerber, Treasurer. The next meeting will be held at Mr. Littlefield’s office Tuesday evening, at which time arrangements will be made for a hall and other matters pertaining to the organization. Every democrat and every other voter that expects to assist in bringing about the reforms so badly needed is invited to attend.

Allen Louks writes us from Cambridge. lowa, in renewing his subscription and also that of his son, M. F. Louks. and says democratic prospects are looking well in his« locality, and he thinks Bryan is sure to win. Corn, he says, is nearly out of the way of frost and dealers are offering to engage the new crop at 50 Cents. Old corn is 74 cents on the market, 85 cents at retail. Crops all good except oats which on % to 2-3 an average yield. He is well pleased with his new home and says he cannot speak highly enough of that country. An old corn raiser says that the corn in this vicinity is in a very peculiar condition just now. In the same hill—and of course it would follow that the stalks were all planted’ at the same time—will be found stalks in all the stages of the different processes through which corn goes in ripening. One stalk will be in the silk, on the next one the ear will be in the milk, and yet another will be hard and out of the way of the frost. This wlll.no doubt cause a condition very akin to that of last year, and if so the corn crop will not be very remunerative again thia time.

Keep in mind all the time that the special session of the legislature has been called to correct the blunders of J. Frank Hanly and the republican majority in the legislature of 1907. That had it not been for these blunders there would have been no special session. “The republican party is the party that does things!” Don’t the special session look like it was? It will take more than >60,000 to pay for this one blunder alone! ytleorge and Mrs. Houser came clown from Harvey Wednesday to be present at the John T. Culp reunion in Barkley tp. Mr. and Mrs. Houser are well known here, having lived in this vicinity for many years until nine years ago when they moved to Harvey, where they have since resided. Mr. Houser tells the same story we hear from all directions, of many republicans who have forsaken their party and will vote for Bryan. Mr. and Mrs. Houser re turned Thursday morning to their home. In writing to have the address of his Democrat changed, Ellsworth Woodln, who with his mother and her family moved to Michigan last spring, says they have lately moved from South Haven to Kalamazoo, where he has secured a position in a paper mill and the family are taking boarders. At South Haven he did not have work, he states more than half the time, while now he has a steady job. It is a great sight to see the large celery fields about Kalamazoo, he says. They like their new location very much.

Linton to Have a Park.

Linton. Ind.. Sept. 11.—At the last meeting of the city council steps were taken toward purchasing a site for a park. A committee was appointed to figure with Dudley Hixon, on a twentyacre piece of ground in the city. Corn Crop Cut in Half. Carlisle, Ind.. Sept. "11.—The drought in this j>art of the county continues. A great deal of the corn will not average a half crop. The farmers can not plow until it rains. —... The Vine Blight. Several inquiries from New England were recently received at the department of agriculture asking for remedies to prevent or cure the blight that destroys cucumber, melon and squash vines and referring to the well known disease very prevalent in America of late years and which causes apparently vigorous vines to suddenly wither and die within a few days from the beginning of the attack. According to Dr. B. T. Galloway of the bureau of plant Industry, the blight is prevalent all along the Pacific coast. The germs of the blight are carried by an Insect. He recommends that the vines should make a steady rather than a rapid growth and should be planted on ground containing a large amount of organic matter, adding also nitrogen in the form of nitrate of soda. Spraying the plants with pads green and bordeaux mixture such as is used for potatoes kills the insect which carries the blight and prevents its puncturing the leaves and admitting the fungus of the disease. As a means of prevention it is recommended that the crops be grown on fresh ground each year
