All coats and suite delivered, at out- opening Thursday, Oct. 15th. ROWLES A PARKER. Mrs. William Bussell living In the south part of town, was*taken sick Tuesday evening anA Is In a serious condition. Her great age, now being in her 82d year, does not give much hope of her recovery. Lev\ Renlcker Is debating the matter whether to go south this winter, or stay In the land of snow and Ice. The south, with its warm days and summer flowers, its birds and green trees, appeal to the average man very forcibly, and then there are those oysters that Bro. Meyers of Wheatfield tells about. You can have them any time if not to lazy to go In to the water and grabble them out. Say, wouldn’t that be fine?

At the home of William Moore, in the east part of town, a wedding ceremony was performed Wednesday, Oct. 7, the contracting parties being his son, Frank Moore and Miss Etba Fleming, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ephrian Fleming.

A physician was called and soon had him in shape again. The attack is attributed to indiscreet eating. He is able for work again today. “Daddy” White came down from Lowell Thursday morning to look after his interests here. He was at a sale Wednesday near Lowell and from his report of it, it is not very encouraging to those who contemplate unloading their surplus in this manner. Horses sold very well, but cattle, both stock cattle, cows and calves, went at ridiculously low prices, and the shoats and stock hogs brought little over three cents a pound. Calves ready for the butcher were bought for two or three dollars less money than they could have been bought for in a regular way.

Last winter A. B. Lowman, then of Pleasant Ridge, closed out his business there and went to Whiting to engage in the grocery business. At Whiting is the great Standard Oil Co., refinery, and the business men are expected to carry their customers for thirty days, then on pay day their bills are liquidated. If these bills are not paid they can be presented to the paymaster and he takes it out of the pay, giving the employe the rest. This scheme works all right when there if any pay days, but now during these prosperous republican times, the pay day at Whiting is’ almost obsolete, and it don't work well, so Mr. Lowman has concluded if he can find a suitable room in Rensselaer he will move his stock to this place. He was down £his week to look after a location.

flour >6 per barrel, blitter 3p cents per pound, potatoes >I.OO per bushel, meats away up out of sight, wood >4 per cord,, coal up to the top notch and wearing apparel, shoes, etc., the highest price for years, thfe average laboring man in Rensselaer will be scarcely able to see where he is going to have any soft snap in getting through the winter. And he has had work all summer, too, owing to the public improvements going on here, the Iroquois ditch, road and street work, etc. How many family of the city laborer—where prices of food and other necessaries are still higher, and who has been out of employment practically all the time since last fall, except for a day or two now and then—will fare can only be conceived. And there are thousands of sutfli, tco. Later reports from the Roselawn fire gives the insurance on the livery barn and residence as >1,510. Two of the horses burned belonged to Zack Seifers, a prominent democrat living west of Roselawn, and one of them was a very valuable mare. Mr. Seifers looked at his horses less than an hour before he saw them surrounded by flames, and remarked to the attendant. “I guess they are all right and I want you to take good care of them. That is a mighty fine team. The old hotel was not occupied and the building next to it was not. The lumber company estimate their loss at >5,000, which is believed will be total.

J- V. Bringle of Summitt, So. Dak., writes his father, W. D. Bringle, that he has got his knee back in place and is now feeling flrstrate. While digging for a gopher he stepped in a hole and threw his knee out of place. This was some time ago, and he was hobbling around while his father was there on his crippled foot, while the ankle on the other Toot was hurting him as the result of a swoolen tendon, making locomotion almost Impossible. An old doctor fixed him up and now he feels good. Mrs. George Daniels of Barkley tp., was on her road to town Wednesday forenoon to market some produce, and when near town, on the i.orth gravel road, an auto occupied by Charles Shambaugh and S. M. Burns of Lafayette came up from behind and attempted to go around and get in front. Just as they got even with the buggy the horse shied away from the auto, turning the front wheel of the buggy sharply, toward the machine, the wheels of which caught it and in the mix-up the shifts were broken and the horse’s leg badly skinned. It seems the baggy was not upset and Mrs. Daniels was not hurt in kny way. The men in the auto came to town and bought a new pair of shafts and saw that the horse got proper treatment, doing all they could to right the wrong that had been done.. The machine either got away from them or they were running at a higher rate of speed than is allowable, else they would not have run so close to the buggy.

RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA No More Dosing*the Stomach—Cure the Skin Through the Skin. When you have a scratch on your hand you wash it out and cleanse it and then the skin cures itself. You do not take blood medicine to cure a festered wound. The best skin specialists are agreed that the only way to cure the skin is through the skin. The fact that eczema is a skin disease and not a blood disease is evident from statistics which show that nearly all eczema sufferers are perfectly healthy in all other ways except as to their skin. If the eczema patients were really suffering from an Inward malady, the entire body and not only the skin would be diseased. You can prove immediately the relief of a true skin cure by using oil of Wintergreen as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription. This liquid attacks the disease germs, numbing them while building up the healthy tissue of the skin. We have now handled this meritorious and thoroughly scientific remedy for so long and have seen its reliable result so many times that wo freely express our confidence. B. F. Fendig, Rensselaer, Ind. SPECIAL NOTICE. On Thursday, October 15th, we will have with us a representative from one of the largest cloak houses in this country.
