Reader, did you ever take Simmons Livkr Regulator, the “Kino*op Liver Medicines?” Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and cansestonstipation, when the waste that should be carried off remains in the body and poisons the whole system. That dull, heavy feeling is due to a torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose of Simmons Liver Regulator and vou,ll get rid of these troubles, and give tone to the whole system. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package has the Red Z stamp ou the wrapper. J.

The new tariff, which the Cuckoos now refer tjo as “the Wilson tariff’7 and republican organs incidentally mention is “the protective tariff enacted by the last congress,” is giving a good account of itself in all quarters says the Washington Post. The improvement in trade and manufactures is so marked the evidences qjf returning prosperity are so numerous and convincing that the voice ot the croaker is uo longer heard in the laud. Since last April moire than 300 manufacturing establishments have, «»t their own motion, increased the wages ol* more than 500.000 woi kmeu. There is less disquiet in labor circles than there has ’been at any time during tjhe past ten years. • • - \J% The iron industry is the best gauge of business: When that is prosperous all other industries are generally in good condition. * * * The wages of labor in the furnace*"and mills and in the coal region have correspondingly advanced. Here is the record of the advance of wages in Pennsylvania last week, as given by the Philadelphia Times of the 24th inst.: “Puddliug rates at Pottstowu were advanced 3y cents a ton, to take effect July 8; the Lackawauua Iron and Steel Company, at Scranton, grants a 10 per cent increase, which is equivalent in paying out $30,000 more a month to its 6,000 employes; the Reading Iron Company serves notice of a 15 per cent increase, the Conshohocken rolling mills workers, 1.000 in number, gain a 12 per cent iuerease; the Crane Iron Works at Allentown posted a 10 per cent notice and the Bird Coleman furnace at Lebanon, idle for two vears, will start up todav. This is part of the share for Pennsylvania iu a single week.” , It would be easy to fill columns with such statistical details of the great business revival. It is fall of good cheer, and it bids fair to last. Rven the free traders and the McKinleyites are beginning to understand that they will have no chance to fight over their respective theories next year. Hiram Williams ot Wiuaiow, died very suddenly of heart failure last Saturday evening. He operated a harness store at that place and while attending hls%work was suddenly stricken and fell uuumscious to the |U>or and lived but a short time after. He was a member of the grand army post of that place, which organization conducted the funeral services on Monday. He was a brother of Mrs. MeGowan of this city. George B. Grim was in the city yesterday. He recently returned from Louisville where he was attending medical school.

Pat sic n ftiKtm. The recent min* have been qnite conducive to the growth of corn, oats, ami meadow. Our farmers are at present busily engaged in harvesting wheat. They report wheat greatly damaged by fly, rust, and dry weather. W. G. Bottom made a business trip to Petersburg Saturday. Frauk McGuire and wife of Evansville, are visiting in these parts this week. Sam Chance of near Oakland, visited Ayrshire'friends last Sunday. Rev. Alfred Dayton of Winfield, Kansas, preached at the Christiau church, Arthur, Suudav. Rev. Dayton iso former resident of this countv and has returned to stay. The Sabbath schools of this viciuity are doing excellent work at present. If you would know the happenings both local aud general subscribe for The Democrat and be convinced. -

The people of these partr appear somewhat elated over I the = receut action* of the county commissioners in regards to the ex county jail. We are inclined to believe that if the old building is clean enough tor a private dwelling it would do equally as well for tiolators of civility. And again. That magnificent edifice which adorns the south-east corner of the court house square, represents a heap ot useless extravagance and possibly bankruptcy to the county. But as such exists let it peaceably remain. We earnestly hope that republicanism will live long enough to redeem our county from the almost total despondency into which they are tj rifting It, and deliver the tax payers to their normal rates. This clearly shows that republicanism means extravagance from start to fiuish. We would be pleased for some one to give a birds-eye conjecture of the poor man’s | chances of life ten years hence it the present party remains in power. We, j are restricted by the stock law and confronted by every possible means | of elevated taxation. Shall this state of affairs continue to exist? __t Augusta Items. W. C. Lawerence and Winlred Corn returned from Mason county, Illinois, last week. 0 Rev. Ashby of Colorado, delivered an excellent sermon Sunday.

If you want to see some fun go to the park and see the heavyweights run the bases. The Mt. Carmel ball team will play the local club on the afternoon of the 4th.

Harbin son has resumed the publication of the National Era, having dropped the Globe part of it. Adams & Carlleton have retired from the co-partnership and will continue m the newspaper business in Vincennes. Thk Democrat wishes all parties suceesss financially.

East Chicago. Yes, nearly emyihing is fsst here. Not only <Jo fire-engines end patrolwagons “tear” through |he streets, but cable cars and electric cars make as rapid time as possible. Electric cars upon the sutface connect with the cables aud are limited to the suburbs, through which they run often at the speed of 30 miles an hoar. The new “Metropolitan” system of elevated electric roads, using a third rail for a trolley, has its centra), terminal station on Franklin street between Jackson and YanBuren. I took my seat on one of their trains a tew days since, and we flew (between stops) six miles in a north western direction, almost over the tops of the houses, crossing streets and avenues far below us. The iron sopporters resembled the trunks of large trees. A still newer device is under consideration by the city, but for surburban use, I can conceive nothing better than the metropolitan.

Soon all the steam roads will be elevated within the city limits and then they will be much faster than now. j Iu the center of the city, wagons are as fast as policemen will allow, but once awav from the plethora, few horses are seen to walk. Express wagons, bakery wagons, market wagons and many others, go at a galloping pace. Even heavily loaded wagons such as spriuklers, ice-wagons furniture vans, wagQns loaded with stone or coal are hauled at a trotting gait. This can be done when the road is smooth, or by stealing the track where thete are considerable intervals betweeu the street cars. It is twilight and torches are swiftly moving about the s*reets. They are borne by lamp-lighters—some on toot—some in carts—some on “wheels” and some on horse-hack. It is an entertainment to see how thoroughly the horses are trained for this purpose. The lamps are planted alternately on opposite sides of the street. The man who has contracted to light a large district in * given space of t{tue, takes to the saddle. The pony understands his business. No sootier is the torch applied than the animal starts, like a race horse, diagonally across the street to the next lamp aud stops for the “click” then darts again to the next lamp ou the other side. Whenever there is a failure, as sometimes happens, the pony wheels around to his plaCe until he himself, sees the flash, and then onward to the end of his route. Bicycles, ot which 100,000 have been licensed, in the city, are likewise generally fast, for those who ride them for pleasure find exhileration in speed; aud those who reside in the suburbs and have substituted “wheel” for other conveyances to bring them to business and to take them home again after busiuess horn's, find it a necessity to make the best time possible.

.Nor less do the people on foot seem to be in a hurry. Some rushing to the V. road stations, some to the steamers, and after the middle of the afternoon, women shoppers aud business men are crowding all the streetcars ou their way to their home. ' My son, who has transactions with business men in all parts of the city, says that he caunot tell whether, iu passing from one place to another, he walked or ran. The day is to short for all the business that needs to be done, and as “time is money* the majority are on the jump.” Rapid changes take place in the city. I know ot a number of electric roads now in operation which were not a year ago. In the same time almost innumerable business honses have beeu erected and old ones have been renovated or enlarged. Dwellings are going up in ali the suburbs. If there has been an interval of a fortnight since I passed along a familiar street, 1 am sure to be surprised by the appearance of new structures uuder way. And, except far out, there are no more cottages. Flats only bring an income from the lot. Three story flats is the rule, though in the best locations, as in ; the vicinity of the parks, large apartment houses, mauv stories in height, are the best investment. Aud for the same reason were erected the “skyscrapers” among the business houses. Every flat and every apartment is complete in itself—provided with closets, heating apparatus and even with fixed mirrors. Manv of these investments are fast, for not a few of these buildings remain for a long time unoccupied. “To rent” is the advertisement most frequently to be seen in any part of the city, away from its center. While great fogunes are made here, there is no end to slow incomes. The past growth ot Chicago has made capitalists, both large and small, over ventersome. They erect building on faith in its future. The most prosperous class of its people are thrifty foreigners who buy lots accord

i»g to their ability and pay for them. They watte no money in paying interest!. As soon as possible, np goes a three-story, stone-front “flat” and they occupy the baeetnent. Paying nothing to agents and making terms low they secure tenants ami realise a good return. Iu a few years more they step out of the basement into a mansion of their own and are ranked with aristocrats. There are fast movements of money in the grain markets and the gambling dens. And the descent of many in the ways of immorality, is most rapid. To save the unsaved, I am glad to say God has tome people here who do vigorously work. Almost every church has its missions and its active committees. In the worst part of the city are halls in which there is preaching every night. Illuminated sigus attract attention, gospel songs, accompanied Dy the cornet, arrest and charm passers bv and those within hearing, and a handsome wagouette waits at the door, to briug any reported as too infirm to walk. - And not to be discounted is i^e salvation army who march with the drum aud horn, to the slums and gather those whose “steps take hold on hell.” Iu these companies I have seen as good faces aud as faultless decorum as may he seen in our best churches— and why not? lor iu the army are voluntears from the well-born. Now are these efforts to save fruitless. In the church which I usually attend the two brightest luminaries are reformed men. Mr. Young though eugaged iu the practice of law lets not a day pass without trying to rescue some fallen one; aud Luther Laflin Mills Esq., “Chicago’s favorite orator,” is au usber at our meetings and an every day Christian worker. I am glad to learn that both religion and temperance have made an advancement iu Petersburg during the pikst year. A. W. Freeman
