UNREAL NATURAL TEETH To # produce them has required a snore persistent effort of time ana patience than most people realize. The difference between teeth that appear natural and those that don t—ls the material of which they are made and a knowledge of the correct position and fitting to make them look real beside real teeth. - , Some dentists deserve popularity for this work. One assurance that the merits of my work are praise-wor-thy—my patrons urge others to give me a call. Arrange to make your call. DR. HORTON

The Democrat is prepared at all times, remember, to turn out up-to-date job printing promptly and at reasonable prices. The Democrat has a few more of those handsome and useful Wall Charts left. We want to close them out, and if you have not already secured one you should do so before they are all gone. Remember they are but 35 cents additional with a year’s subscription to The Democrat. Mrs. Joseph Nagle is in Lafayette under the care of a physician preparatory to an operation for gallstones. She has been ailing for some months, and it was finally determined that an operation was the only cure. She will be operated on as soon as the surgeon thinks she is in condition, which is now thought will be in about ten days. About 155 tickets were sold here for the play of “The Wolf” at Lafayette last night, in which our Rensselaer actor, Gus Phillips, plays the leading role. The Rensselaer party went down on the milk train and returned on a special after the play. Such a large turnout from Gus’ boyhood home is certainly a great compliment, and one which he appreciates fully. Gus was here Sunday visiting relatives.

W. H. Nicholls of Indianapolis writes the News of that city that his "father, who lives at Medaryville, Ind., was born September 5, 1816; was ninety-two years old last September. He is about three months older than the State of Indiana, and has voted for every Republican presidential candidate! that the party ever had, including W. H. Taft, last Tuesday."

They returned home on the milk train the same evening and all report a most.enjoyable time.

Monday night was an occasion in local Eastern Star circles that will long be remembered. The Grand Worthy Matron was here from Valparaiso and about 75 guests from Monticello, Monon and Valparaiso were in attendance, some 40 from Montieello and 20 from Monon alone. A .fine supper was served before the initiatory ceremonies of a candidate, consisting of roast turkey and the necessary accessories, ice cream, cake, etc. It was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the kind ever held to Rensselaer, and the local lodge are proud over its success while the visitors are highly pleased at having been present. The Monticello ladles gave the Mystic Tie work in the initiation, and it was proflounced something grand.

Lake County Star.-—The electric wiring from Crown Point to Lowell has been completed, and it looks flattering now for the electricity to be sent to that place in a few weeks, although the placing of the heavy machinery In the plant here will take some time and means a heavy outlay. The plant will be enlarged in a way that it will not have to be added to for some time to come .. .The fires set by railroads have come to a halt, but those burning deep in the marshes are still smoking, and will continue to destroy the land until a soaking rain falls. Where the Panhandle crosses Deep river, between Crown Point and Rush, the fire is still spreading under the surface, and in places has gone down two feet, which makes treacherous walking. Emmet. Pullins had a very exciting time getting a pair of elk Into a crate in order to ship them to Logansport last week. He built a pen With a chute at one end, and at the end of the chute placed his crate with the door elevated so that the elk could be driven in and the door let down behind them. The animals would go into the chute but before the outer gate could be closed they would dodge out again. He finally devised a scheme with a pulley so that he could stand at a distance and close the gate. This worked all right, and he finally got them in.- the crate-- and the dobr closed behind them?; No sooner were they in than they lay down as quietly as a domestic pig, and so remained the balance of the day.

The Democrat is prepared' again this season to print the beet looking sale bills turned out in Jasper county.

'xgharles Pefley and George Hemphill of Remington came over Monday and got Bruce Porter and "Bally” Powers to go up to the Kankakee with them for a few days. Their object in taking along such experienced fisherman of these two Rensselaer disciples of Isaak Walton, no doubt was to have something to show their Remington friends when they got back home. David Gilmore of near Lewiston, Idaho, is visiting old friends to this vicinity, and was the guest of Geo. Pumphrey and A. J. Bellows yesterday. Mr. Gilmore resided) just over the line in Benton county, near A. J. Bellows’ farm, some twenty years ago, mbving from there to Chicago, where he still has a son and brother. From Chicago he went to British Columbia and from thence to Idaho, where he has since resided. His wife died soon after leaving Indiana, and he has not re-married. Thomas Barton, a soon of Patrick Barton, who used to run a blacksmith shop here where the Maines & Hamilton feed store is now located, lives at Lapwai, Idaho, only 1% miles from where Mr. Gilmore lives, and conducts a general merchandise business. He married into an excellent family and is well fixed financially. Mr. Gilmore leaves today for a few days visit at Goodland, and from there will ’■eturn to Chicago and from thence go to Ontarion, Canada, his native home, to eat Thanksgiving dinner with relatives and to visit a few weeks.

COMMENTS ON HIS THIRD DEFEAT.

Mr. Bryan Commends Work of His National Committee, and is Still For Publicity. Lincoln, Neb., November 6.—William J. Bryan today issued the following statement: “The election has gone against us by a decisive majority. The returns are not all in and it is impossible at the present time to analyze them or to say what causes contributed most to the Republican victory. We made our fight on -a platform which embodied what we believed to be good for the American people, but it is for the people themselves to decide what laws they desire and what methods of government they prefer. I have faith that the publicity which we asked for will yet commend itself to the American people; that the election of Senators by the people will be secured; that the iniquities of the trusts will arouse an opposition that will result in the elimination of the principle of private monoply. I am confident that the people will see the necessity for the labor legislation and the tariff reduction which our platform demanded. lam confident, too, that the educational work done in this campaign will result in securing greater protection to bank depositors. The above are the most prominent reforms for which ’ hre labored, and I believe that these reforms will yet come, together with more effective regulation of railroads and independence for the Filipinos. Not a Personal Matter. “I desire ,to commend the work of our national committee. I am entirely satisfied with Mr. Mack as the chairman and with members of the committee. I realize that they could have done no more than they did, and as for myself I put forth every effort in my power to secure victory for our cause. The nomination came from the hands of the voters; I have obeyed their commands and have led as best I could. Words will not express my gratitude for the devotion which has been shown by millions of Democrats during the last twelve years. "Neither am I able adequately to express my appreciation for the kind words which have befen spoken since the election. If I could regard the defeat as purely a personal one, I would consider it a blessing rather than a misfortune, for I am relieved of the burdens and responsibilies of an office that is attractive only in proportion as it gives an opportunity to render a larger public service. Will Serve as a Private. "But I shall serve as willingly in a private capacity as in a public one. God does not require great things of us; He only requires that we improve the .opportunities that are presented, and I shall be glad to improve the opportunities for service presented by private life. "In this hour of national defeat, I find some consolation in the cordial support given by my neighbors; by the citizens of Lincoln and by the people of the State of Nebraska. With a Democratic Governor and a Democratic Legislature, we shall be able to put in practice so much of the Denver platform as relates to State Legislation, and I trust that our State will set an example that will be an Influence for good in the nation." «.

la Porte. Ind., Nov. 10.—In the trial of Ray Lamphere for the murder of Mrs. Gunness and children the state “passed the jury,” thereby expressing its willingness to accept the twelve men who then filled the Jury box. The twelve men with whom the state was willing to trust the case were: Henry Mills, retired farmer; James Emery and Andrew L. Ames, farmers; Charles Bchdaak, merchant; William Gray and Charles F.

Defense Retiree Two Men. Then the defense had an inning, and during the examination of the veniremen by Attorney Worden, of the defense, he challenged Ames and Small, whose answers to the questions as regards the death of Mrs. Gunnes and their opinions as to Lamphere’s guilt or innocenqe were not satisfactory to him, and both were excused for cause. Of those examined by the defense, and who appear to have been prefectly satisfactory, so that it appears as though they will remain on the jury as finally accepter!, are Charles Nelson, Charles Schlaak. V. TV. Bartholomew and Henry Mills. Special Panel Exhausted. Attorney Worden’s questioning touched on whether the veniremen had formed an opinion on the death o Mrs. Gunness. and whether they had reached any conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of Lamphere. The special panel of twenty-five having been exhausted another special venire of the same number was ordered. Throughout tile proceedings Lamphere exhibited considerable concern at times and held whispered consultations with his attorney. At other times, he sat down low in his chair, apparently oblivious. Oberreich Was Excused. One of the dramatic incidents of the proceedings was when Venireman Oberreich, having been passed by the state, half arose in his seat and exclaimed, as Prosecutor Smith asked ■aother venireman if he was opposed so the infliction of the death penally. .‘•Why didn't yon ask me that question?” The state’s attorney then returned of Oberreich and directed the question to him and the reply was “lam.” He was peremptorily excused for cause.
