E. W, Stahl, the well man, of near Mt. Ayr, has sold his well J machine and is thinking of moving to Rensselaer. He. was in town Thursday to see what he Could find In ttoe way of a house. Harry Wood is now Janitor at the library, succeeding James Overton, who was unable to longer do the work. This with Harry’s other job as janitor of thW Christian church, will keep him quite busy. 1 was ushered in bright /and clear and with a good white 'frost. There were frosts this year in August and September, but they did little damage in this vicinity, owing, Borne say, to the fact that the moon had its face turned toward the sun. , If you move from one precinct to another after today you cannot vote at the November election. Remember the requirements in Indiana are: “Sig months residence in the Btate, 60 days in the township and 30 days Ih the ward or precinct immediately preceding the election.”

pAV. H. Tyler and Frank Hart of Demotte were in town on business yesterday. jAncel Woodworth and wife spent Sanday with their daughter and family, Mrs. F. P. Morton, at Goodland. The fine large cement house of Mrs. S. A. Hemphill is up to the second story, and begins to assume shape and artistic proportions. As we go to press the condition of Louis Wildberg Is very critical, and he may be dead before this issue of The Democrat reaches its readers, John Haley was at the Delphi street fair Thursday.

Lost:—An open face, gold filled watch, 15 jewel, Elgin movement. Please return same to either Democrat office or to Ross Bringle at high school building and receive reward. Bally and Mrs. Powers are visiting in Wolcott this week, with Mrs. Powers sisters, Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Hagins, the later of this city, who is staying with her daughter, Mrs. Ed Irwin, temporarily. A meeting of several of the prominent democratic ladies of Rensselaer will be held at County Chairman Littlefield’s office this afternoon to orbanize a Ladies’ 30Cent Club. Prof. E. S. Tillman is getting along nicely from his recent operation for appendicitis and will probably come home from Chicago Monday or Tuesday. It will be some time, however,- before he is able to take up his work in the, schools again. The dredge has been lying idle near the creamery bridge for the past week, while the drillers are at work drilling south, of the Washburn pasture. This drilling is now completed to the cemetery, and blasting will likely be commenced early in next week. John P. Warner began work Thursday for the first time since his serious attack of heart disease while fishing at the Kankakee, some three weeks ago. He has not been able to lift anything since that time, but says he can note an improvement in hie condition the last few days. J. C. Porter had 6600 insurance on the Gwin stock at McCoysburg, and R. B. Harris had S7OO on the building. There is no doubt however that there will be considerable loss on both stock, and building, as it would take more money than both stock or building was insured for to replace them. W. L. Bringle, who has been in poor health for the past several months, is quite feeble and is troubled a great deal by shooting pains through his side and back, caused by an affected kidney, his physician thinks. He is at the home of his son, W. D. Bringle, in Jordan tp.

M. J. Pierson returned from Washington, D.

This year he cut a crop of hay ofT the ground and then allowed the second growth to go to seed. The second crop was thrashed this week and produced 42 bushels and 30 pounds of seed. This is the biggest yield that has been reported so far. We are in receipt of a copy of the National Democratic Text Book. It is valuable and interesting and should be in the hands of every man Interested in the political issues of this campaign. A copy of the Text Book will be sent postpaid to any address for 25 cents. 1 Address, “Text Book,” Democratic National Headquarters, Chicago, 111. ' < The sharp winds these mornings are continually asking the embarrassing question, “What have you done with your summer’s wages?” The city man who has been out of work moßt of the time since last October, will have to think very hard before he will be able to give an answer that will be very satisfactory to him, especially if he has a family to keep in the meantime. N f , James H. Gilbert, John R. Wilson, Chris. Hensler, S. G. Hand and John Jordan were over from Remington Thursday on business connected with the new bank to be established there. There is some prospect, it is reported, of the new organization may buy out the First National Bank there instead of erecting a new bank altogether. If this is done, however, they will not buy the stock, and the new organization will be a state bank. It is now pretty certain that the people who were obliged to commence feeding stock in August, on account of the dry weather, will have to continue it until next May, which will make an unusual long winter, and no doubt many will have use for all their hay without hauling any to market. A nine months feeding spell is something new in Lake county, and is bound to raise the price of hay from the present quotations.—Crown Point Star.

W. T. Elmore was over from Remington in his Oldsmobile Wednesday.'' This machine »has been in use for four seasons, and Mr. Elmore says he has traveled more than the distance around the world in it, yet it is in fine shape and will do the work for a long time to come. This is in striking contrast to some of the machines that have been in use in this city, some of which have scarcely made a trip that did not give the operator plenty of work for his money. The county unit liquor option law provides that elections shall be ordered when 20 per cent of the voters of a county so petition, and if the vote of the county is “dry" all liquor licenses heretofore granted, subsequent to the passage of this law, shall be forfeited within 90 days, and all liquor dealers must close Up shop within said 90 days. The county, city or corporation issuing the license shall reimburse the dealer put out of business by a county going dry for the unexpired term of such license.

The name of James Donnelly of Rensselaer has been placed on the democratic ticket of Marion tp., for assessor, in place of Sam Scott, who withdrew because of his intention to move out of the township. Mr. Donnelly made the last assessment of the real estate in Marion as assistant for Assessor Hordeman, and none of such assessments have been disturbed by the couty board of review, we understand, which is certainly a compliment to Mr. Donnelly’s good judgment. If elected he will make a careful and painstaking officer. NlMiss Blanche Kenton was marred Monday to Dr. Fred T. Rice of Punkwana, So. Dak., and in a few weeks they will go to that place to reside. Mrs. Rice Is the youngest daughter of William Kenton, well known in this county, and her mother, now deceased, was a sister of the elder Hemphills’ of this city. She was born in this county, and grew to womanhood here. When the family moved to Mitchell, So. Dak., four years ago she went With them and has resided there since.

The luscious tomato is on his last legs, and with g few more cold nights he will have passed into history—those of him who have not passed into the canning factory—to reappear this winter to make glad the hearts of his many friends. There haß been a very good tomato crop this year, cut somewhat by the dry weather, and the price has been much more reasonable than many other sjtaples that go to make up the good things we eat. Many bushels in Rensselaer have been sold for 60 cents, and a bushel will make “right smart” of feed. We can save ypu 25 per cent on your fall stove and give you the world’s beet, The Acorn. CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE.

Not many days ago a farmer told the writer that stock hogs would sell for $4 per hundred before long. Another fanner who attended the Hill & Son sale in Walker tp., Tuesday said that stock hogß sold at that sale for not more than $5 per hundred, and with tlys prospect for corn no better than it is there will not be enough to feed the present hog crop to the finishing point, so that stock hogs will undoubtedly be cheap. Stock cattle sold at the above sale for the equivalent of $4. They, too, will be cheap on account of the scarcely of corn. Special cloak, suit and blanket sale for October. CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE.

GANDERBONES FORECAST

FOR OCTOBER. (Copyright 1908, by C. H. Rteth.) Now, Taft was enjoying An aeroplane flight. And skimming around Like the man-swallow Wright, When Who should appear, Holding fast to his hat And sailing the sky, But the man from the Platte. Said fat Bill to Platte Bill, “Now, isn’t this great?” Said Bryan, “You bet— Is my rudder on straight?” And the wind coming up With a slight show of bluster, They both skidded off Through the air belly buster. And while they were flying About a mile high, The Roosevelt entry Emitted a cry; And Bryan, supposing He’d dropped from the race, Slowed up with a horrified Look on his face. But Taft was just floating—“My motor’s gone out! Now, hand me a match When you next come about!” But Bryan just laughed, And he said, “My dear speeder, Remember that I Am the great matchless leader.”

October is from the latin octo, meaning eight. It was the eighth month of the old Roman calendar. This brought oysters In at the end of August, when they had to be candled like eggs, and the Oyßter Trust always cornered the supply in cold storage. But Rome, like every other nation, had a reformer not too often for reasonable profits in business, and when Numa Pompilius came into power in 713 B. C. he made October the tenth month and busted the Oyster Trust. He was idolized by a grateful populace, and was only relinguished to private life In his latter days that he might gratify his desire to hunt big game in Africa. The presidential race will reach Three quarters of a mile, And both the Bills will hit it up In good old-fashioned style. The Platte will shake his big brogans And put up dust and dirt, The giant Taft will grunt and sweat And rip his undershirt. The plaudits of the multitude WJII rise in mighty peals. And the watchful Teddy Bear will nip At William Howard’s heel. The pink mudguards of Sunny Jim will catch the frost descending, and turn a fine autumnal red, with the burning sumac blending; the frost will thin out Mr. Kern’s elaborate chin thicket, and each of these hair-bearing tails will go some on his ticket. The frost will paint the sassafrass a deep and glowing red, and the farm hand will resume his howl for blankets on his bed. The plant exuded phosphorus will gossamer the air, the stiff rheumatic will put on his wind-proof underwear, the southward moving ducks will quack upon the reeded lakes, and man will line himself insiffe. with buttered flannel cakes. <

The women will parade beneath the big sky-scraper hats, and guy lines strung to steady them will anchor in their rats; and every time the wind blows *brisk, with many screams and squeals, they’ll all turn turtle and will fan the azure with their heels. The camper will unto the woods To live the life of Crusoe. And the quail will balance on a rail And whistle like Caruso. The poor hay fever patient will return from his retreat, and every time his nose goes off and bonks upon the street, we’ll scramble for the nearest curb as fast as we can dart, believing that his lusty sneeze is some skldoodle cart. The candidate will press his suit and tell his little jokes while he is handing out cigars they name for famous folks; and notwithstanding all the harm this sort of smoke has done us, we’ll all waltz up again and try his deadly Mrs. Gunness. After the 26th October will be under the influence of the zodiacal sign Scorpio the crustacean. Persons born in Scorpio are lobsters, and are mostly actors and biuse ball players. They have remarkable foresight. Among other things, they can tell when the hired girl is going to quit, and awlays give her notice first. The armoured football player will cavort In padded pants and butt to beat a billy goat while frenzied thousands dance. He’ll cut the foe with glass hid in his Paderewski mop, and when they pile on sacks he’ll do a war dance on the tob. The college men will all get up and yell like Kingdom Come, the college girls will swallow six or seven gobs of gum, the autumn sun will be obscured by colors, horns and hats, the catapulting'end will cave the other follow’d slats, the giant centers will collide like two excursion trains, the guards will paw the earth and scramble one another’s brains; and when the ambulance drives up, with great

vociferation the howling mob will give three cheers for higher education. The first frost ripened hickory nuts Will rattle to the ground, And local option will put on The blower all around. The hunter’s moon will sail the sky, The bee will duck the clover, And the other Wright in France will knock The Eiffel Tower over. Tjie flower for October is the hop. This signifies that the fates are against prohibition in one month of the year, anyway. Our gad-abouting fleet will throw a scare into Japan, and shell the Chinese coast until they tell the age of Ann; and old John Rockefeller will observe October nine, with a big barn dance at Forest Hill and unfermented wine, the third month since he’s had to make a payment on that fine. And then November 3rd will come. When all of us shall vote, And one of these two Bills will have To be the Billy Goat.

winter Feed For Poultry.

In the fall of the year on every farm succulent food which would be relished by the poultry and converted into money In the shape of high priced eggs Is thrown away. Save the small ■potatoes which you have in years past been feeding to the hogs. Maybe you have a surplus of cabbage. If so, save for chicken feed. The turnip crop may give you a surplus, and these will be relished by the hens this winter. The same is true of surplus beets. If the cellar cannot accommodate this chicken .feed, dig a hole in the ground, place the potatoes, cabbage, turnips and beets therein and cover with a layer of straw and then with dirt to prevent freezing. It will pay to save this feed for the poultry. Orchard Peats. Twig blight often appears to a destructive extent upon young, thrifty apple and pear orchards. This is a bacterial disease, and no amount of spraying will be of service. Cut and burn all affected parts and avoid highly nitrogenous fertilizers. Canker is another serious pest. Carefully cut out and burn all canker spots and paint the wounds with pure white lead and linseed oil. The same may be used for black knot of plum and cherry.—Maryland Station Bulletin.
