—— German dill pickles at Rowen & Kiser’s, 10c per dozen. Yesterday’s markets: Corn, 66c; oats, 50c; wheat, $1.25; rye, 95 c. Snow was falling as TJ>e Demo, crat went to press yesterday afternoon, indications were good for more sleighing.again. While unloading cobs at the Babcock & Hopkins* elevator yesterday, the team of Charles Spencer became frightened ■ when the whistle blew and ran until stopped, in front of the court house, breaking the left hind wheel, but causing no other damage of importance. • A bill has been introduced in the ■ •‘Ssnate that is of interest to automobile owners: It provides that the license plate shall be permanent, thus eliminating the necessity for a change each year. As the cost of these plates is very little, less than 25 c each, and it is only by the change in color of the plates that the public ro the local officers can tell whether the owner has taken out a new license or not, it would seem very foolish to change the present law in this respect. Mike Kuboski, the well known auto expert employed in the Rensselaer garage, has been in quite a critical condition for the past week, but yesterday was thought to be somewhat better. He had been in sort of a run down condition for some time, and a scratch on one of his fingers a couple of weeks ago resulted in infection which spread to his arm and side and required the lancing of same to remove the pus. The latter part of the week pneumonia developed and for a few days his condition was very critical. Mike’s many friends hope that he will soon recover and be able to return to his old position.

Complains About Care of Chickens.

The Democrat is in receipt of the following communication from A. D. Harshman of Gillam township: Editor Democrat:—lf the poultry association of Rensselaer expect to keep up their reputation, they will have to see that the exhibitor’s birds are more carefully protected from rascals -who try to disqualify one’s birds from the show room. Upon arrival of my Barred Rocks at Medaryville ■ from Rensselaer, Monday, Jan. Uth, I found that the primaries of both wings of my best hen were spoiled, either by a knife or a hot iron," and that the same feathers had been rolled on a stick or lead pencil to make them appear twisted. There were a few Who knew I was going to make another show at South Bend, and I presume that they would spoil my best, or else some one has it “in” for me unknown. But it was evidently done in the show room. It is my last at Renseelaer, unless they can give good cause for this mishap. A. D. HERSHMAN.
