HEART DISEASE 20 YEARS. J)r. ante* Medioal Co.. Klkhart, Ind. Dulr Bibs: For 20 yews I was troubled with heart dieease. Would frequently have tailing spells and smothering at night. Had to sit up or Set out of bed to breathe" liad pain In myjeft side and back most of the time; at last I became droteieal. I was very nervous and nearly worn out. The least excitement would cause me to THOUSAN DS ?Med uotiioepoumT^ j hgd ^ ^ta it very long until I felt much better, and I can now sleep oneither side or back without the least discomfort. I have no pain, smothering, dropsy, no wind on stomach or other disagreeable symptoms. I am able to do all my own housework without any trouble and consider myself'cured. - _ Elkhart, Ind., 1888.

“Si Slocum” was in the city last Saturday and promised to write some interesting bits of information on the political situation in Pike county. No doubt ;ihe communication will be very interesting as he is well acquainted with .the republican riug6ters. Thomas Head and family leave on next Monday for Los Angeles, California, where thoy will spend the winter. Mr. Heed's health has been poorly during the past year and he is ol the opinion that that climate will iu a measure renew his health. Our best wishes go with them.The school board will build additional rooms to the school building tying the coming year. Architect ■delis will consult with the school ard next Monday in regard to the matter. The schools are well attended and many ot the rooms have entirely too many pupils for the teachers to handle with justice to themselves and the children. On an inside page of today’s paper will be found a synopsis of the Wilson tariff bill. It is not free trade, but does pul a great many-of the necessaries of life on the free list. The McKinley bill averages about sixtvthree per cent, while the Wilson bill cuts the average down to thirty per cent. The republican organs have closed their mouths on the free trade bugaboo. President Cleveland’s message to congress needs no commendation from us. It stands out as the work of a master mind, which knows the needs of the people. His recommendations to congress are very clear. Qn the tariff' he stands by all former recommendatidns and is iu favor of the adoption of the Wilson bill as prepared. Next week Tue Democrat will give the message in full. The jail problem will come up before the board of commissioners next Monday. Tho architect, J. W. Gaddis, of Vincennes, was iu the city the forepart o1f the week conferring with the board. The plans have been passed by the State board of charities. It now remains for the board to approve them and order a time for receiving segled bids for the erectlou of the building. It all rests with the board of commissioners.

The stockholders of the fair association held an election last Saturday at the recorder’s office for the purpose of electing twelve directors tor the coining year. Those elected were I. R. Lett, W. A. Oliphant, S. J. Haines, I. H. LaMar, T. K. Fleming, James Chew, J. S. Newkirk, H." R. Snyder, J. W. Brumfield, L. C. Thomas, Leslie Lamb and* George B. -Ashby. The directors are the same as last year except Snyder, Thomas and Ashby who take the places of jtoty, Oursler and Bethell.

Elmer Brennan, whb was arrested sometime since on a charge of aiding prisoners to escape from the county jail, tookleave himself last Tuesday. He had been bound over to the circuit court and had given bail. The grand jury found' an iudictment against him and he was required to give a $oOO bond which he was unable to do. lie was brought into court Tuesday for the purpose of having Ifjs bond reduced, and while the sheriff of his deputy were not watching him he walked out of the court room. He has not been heard from since. The sheriff seems to have .considerable trouble with his prisoners as this makes an even dozeu that have Escaped during the past year. Last Thursday at Uncle Jajaes Barker’s, southwest of the city, occurred one of the big eveuts of that day. About fifty ol his neighbors and friends gathered at his house to partake of turkey, and the concomitauts necessary thereto, ana it is unnecessary to say that the large assemblage fully enjoyed the dinner and tiie hospitality ot Uncle Jin. and his estimable companion. After the dinner hour the1 gentlemen engaged in elay pigeon shooting, at which Dr. Jlunter attd Judge Thurman were not at themselves, haviug partaken too Heartily of the turkey. At a late hour in the. evening the guests departed for their respective homes wishing their venerable friends many more such happy occasions. »Hicks, tho weather prophet, predicts the following for the rest of December: Heavy gales on the water, blizzards in the north and cyclones in the east mark this period. About the 12th it will beoorne warmer and rain aiuljsnow will cross the country until the 13th. On ihe lSth and 19th it will again become warm with rain. The florin period commencing on the 22nd and continuing until the 26th promises .many disagreeable storms and an unpleasant Christmas. A heavy sleet is certain at this time. The mouth goes out warmer with clearing weather in sight. Be prepared for severely cold weather this month.

Andrew Drybrough, manager of the Lincoln Sanitarium, returned from Hartford, Connecticut, last week, where he had been on business concerning his cure tor iuebriacy. He received very high recommendations on his work. The Sanitarium was removed from its old quarters to the Leslie property, where better conveniences will be had for the treatment of patients. The Sanitarium has done good work since it opened up in this city several months ago and is one of the petmaueut institutions of the city. The three-year-old-daughter of James D. Williams, livingdn Knox county, some six miles from this city, was buiuedto death Monday afternoon. A tire had been built under a large kettle in the yard for the purpose of-heating water tor clotheswashing, and the little girl in playing around the lire got iu to close proximity to it and her clothes caught on fire. The child suffered intensely for several hours until death relieved her. The funeral occurred Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon next at 4:30 Tclock at the residence of Mrs. Malajhi Krebs will occur the marriage of Miss Elizabeth Krebs and William A.. MacLean. The young lady is one nf Petersburg’s leaders in society and very accomplished. Mr. MacLean is \ member of the MacLcau hardwood umber company of Buffalo, New Vork. The Democrat tenders its heartiest congratulations iu advance >f the event. John Whitman, aged seventeen gears, and son of Key. George Whitman, living in Patoka township, near ihe Gibson county line, was seriously injured while attempting to board an ;ast bound freight train on the Air Line road near Oakland City, last Monday. One arm was nearly sepirated from the body and was ampuiated, besides this he was badly bruis}d about the lace and body. He will recover.

Kev. Anderson commenced a series I if revival meetings at the M. E. > ihurch Monday evening. The meet* ings are being very well attended, l’he interest is increasing and it is itoped that much good may be ac:omplished in this city. liev. Anderson is a strong worker in the church interests and pointing out the way ot' he transgressor to a better and happier life. The Sunday edition of the Evansrille Courier was probably one of the inest ever gotten out by a publishing louse in Southern Indiana. It confined many fine engravings of the lublic buildings, business honses and iromineut citizens of that city. The Courier is a great paper and should lave a large circulation throughout his part of the state.

Mrs. Charles Seebren, of Princeton, is visiting her father-in-law Mr. A. Seebren, this week. >- Chandler & Pipes claim they have the champion fox-hound of southern Indiana and challenge any one in southern ‘Indiana or northern Kentucky to^enter the chase with them. They have the stuff to back their challenge and don’t mean to bluff. The Demockat has abetter representation at this post office than any other paper. That shows the quality of the paper for the majority of the votes go the other way. Come friends let us make the subscription ]i$t at this place twice as great as it is. Get all the news this winter. The Augusta schools would be delighted beyond measure if Mr. Ora Kantz would visit us again. Some say lie did not try when he was with us before, if he did not we would like to know what ho can do when he tries. Next Friday would be a good time Mr. Kantz for you.to give us another speech. The school is always sleepy on a Friday afternoon and a good soul-inspiring speech is almost the only thing that will wafke them trp so give us a call. Donatello.
