There is one matter wherein the country newspaper labors at a disadvantage in a time of money stringency, as compared with the manufacturer, says the Nappanee Nows, _ The publisher never finds a time when he can shut down his plant and lay off his employes—excepting when he reaches a point where he be** comes a “busted community,*’ so to speak. The paper must be turned out every week and the | expenses continue right on just i* he same as when he has plenty iof advertising and job work, j both of which . branches of his l business are necessary to meet I the requirements- of running a I country journal, as the subscriptions are only drops in the bucket, as it were, toward payi the expenses of an office, these things should be taken into consideration by the patrons of a local paper. Subscribers, especially, should promptly and willingly pay up” arrearages. Their accounts are, in themselves small, but when all pay | up the aggregate is sufficient to | tide the newspaper over a dull j period of advertising and job I work. | One {vord describes it—“perfection.” We refer to Be Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles A, F Lono A' Co .*

A BIG BLAZE.

Haiioran’*; Old Saloon Building Gone *Up In §moke. Last Sunday morning between I twelve and one o’clock the peoj pie of our quiet town were i aroused from their slumbers by the riuging of the fire boll aud j the blowing of the whistle at the electric light station, which j every one knew meant that there was something serious on hafid. It was found that the okl build- . ing owned by Mike Haiioran and occupied by Thos. Gear was in flames. As to the origin of the affair, there is nothing definite, Some say it was the work of an incendiary. ‘ Mr, Gear states that there had been no fire in the building for several months'. The loss is about cowvou by tbe insurance, which amounts to about 81,500. entire loss of that building, Uncle John MakeeveFs building on the east, occupied by the Chicago Bargain Store, came* near being “in it,” aloha' (frith the corner. Well protected windows saved the building, but tilings got pretty warm. * ) The livery barn of Frank Lift, just adjoining on Grc north, was in luelu Had the wind been coming from the south or SouthVest, instead of fyom the northwest, that building would have gone up into smoke. By hard: work of volunteers, it was saved! and a few dollars will cover the; The new fire Cistern Was tried.' for the first time and proved a ; great benefit in preventing the! spread of the fire, ■ The rife company cild some good wevk ‘.s well as many of our Citizens. At a fire it requires the combined work of 'all and Fire Chief Honan was at his place and the Work was well clone under his supervision. Mr. Haiioran opened the safe Monday which was in the building when it burned and to the’ surprise of all Us contents were) found to be well preserved. The 5 building is one of the old landmarks of ReiTsselaer and has; been an eve sore for many years to those who believe in improve- j ment. It is not known whether any improvement Will be made; on the gredfiu soon or not. We hope so at least. A nice two or; three story building would be a great addition to * the corner, a help to the tdWn, and would increase the capacity for business * here. __ «

Evangelist Keeley Here.

A goodnudience greeted Evangelist Keeley at the Presbyterian church Tuesday night. The : audience was deeply moved by the eloquent sfifinbn, ‘God is Love.” Several openly mani-fested-a desire to accept Christ, The interest and enthusiasm' with which this service was so eminently characterized reveals the power of the evangelist to touch the heart and conscience of his hearers. The wonderful success that has attended the efforts of Mr. Keeley’s is a proof that God lias called him “to do th’e Work .*of an evangelist.” Within the last live years Mr. Keeley has been the means of leading nearly 2.000, souls into the church. The secret of his power is in tlib deep rooted gospel truths he expounds with all the courage and enthusiasm of a Luther. Mr. Keeley fearlessly warns the sinner of the awful hell into which he must inevitably spend eternity if he refuses to accept God's offer of pardon. Mr. Keeley strikes a death blow at tbe saloon, the gambling den. and every foe of humanity and the Church of Christ. His aim is to declare boldly “the Whole counsel of God,” and leave the result with him. Let everybody • hear this servant of God. All are in Meetings at7:3op. m.

Thrown from a Horse.

W illie Carter, the colored boy who has been riding race horses lor John Reynolds, was thrown from a horse at the Morocco lair and seriously injured. For a while it was thought his recovery doubtful but owing to a vigorous constitution aud the skillful attention of the physician, he recovered sufficiently to be • brought »to Mr. Reynold’s home -in Rensselaer, and he is now able to be out on’the streets. The accident was caused by the horse falling.

OUR CREAMERY.

Something for Those Who are Infejfested hi Dairy Products. • The patrons will not miss it far if they adopt a liberal policy in regard to feeding their cotvs. The prospects are fair for a good price for butter, consequently good returns for your milk. You will have to feed whether you nrtlk or not, and the extra cost in producing more milk will be ihore than met by the advance in price for the iriilk product. Another matter the management wishes to call your attention to is the quality of milk. We have had more trouble this summer to make good, butter t han is usual. This we think is attributable to SV'Cd the cows get in the pastures and the excessive warm weather. There is no way to avoid this entirely* but we can in a measure do so. Cows should not be allowed to eat mag or drink bad water. These two elements will ruin the butter for a f&riey market. The weeds in the pastures should be mowed down before thew Blddiii, as that is when. tltey are at the worst stage to taint the milk, careful handling after milking is necessary in order to get the best results. We am glad to note that there has been a great improvement in this matter. But there is room for mode. The principle that the Creamery is operated oh iS co-operative, which means that those operating it and those supplying the milk have a mutual interest. Whatever tends to better the condition of one must necessarily better the condition of the outer. We will have to work together if we would make a success of the dairy interests. We believe that there has never been anything attempted in our county of a public nature that is so beneficial to the community as this enterprise. It ought not to be allowed to go down or even lag. We have not Written this in a complaining way, for v T e know what the patrons had to contend with this summer'and fall on account of tile drought, but have Written it for this reason: There has been some talk of the creamery stepping. This will not be done unless absolutely* lteeessary. We have the names of parties on our books who have bought butter of us ever sincp the creamery started and are depehding on us to supply them at the highest pfices going. If we should have to drop thes6 it would injure the patrons as well as the management. Wo think the best thing to do in order not to lose what we have gained is to make a supreme effort to keep the supply of milk up sufficiently to meet the demands. The drouth and hard times will pass away before long and if we do not let all go now we will come out all right tvhen better times come. The second edition of the Cosmopolitan for September brought the total edition up to 211,000 copies, without doubt the largest edition of any magazine in the world for this month. It remained for the Cosmopolitan to have the World’s Fair treated in a single number by twelve different writers. As the exposition of 1893 must remain one of the leading events in the history of the United States, the most distinguished men were asked to prepare this magazine volume, which is destined to become valuable as one of the most perfect descriptions of the World’s Fair. Among the number of those who contribute are our only ex-president, Walter Besant, the most distinguished of the English literary men who visited the exposition, and a host of others. Besides the usual fiction, including a story byMark Twain, entitled, “Is He Living, or Is He Dead,” and the regular departments. The Cosmopolitan contains nearly one hundred illustrations devoted to the World’s Fair, including eleven full pages. It is pronounced one of the most remarkable of the publications yet issued regarding the Fair. It is a completely illustrated guide or souvenir, as one prefers to call it, by the most famous writers of the day, put before the reader at the price of 124 cents, and more than the equal of the books of the Fair which sell for seven-ty-five cents and one dollar. Don’t fail to read the advertisements of our home merchants that appear in this issue, and then to even up the thing call and see them *and you will be benefited. Home first, the world afterward.

A new swindle upon honest and unsuspecting farmers has been brought to iigtifc, and this is tile way the scheme is operated: Swindler No. 1 calls upon a farther with a patent wagon tongue and informs him that, having made a big thing of it, he is est his way home, with only this county to sell. He tells the farmer he can have it for $250, and. if he wants it to write to him. In a few days patent right than No. 2 comes along. He has heard the farmer has the right of the county for the patent wagon tongue, and as he has made a big thing of it in Pennsylvania, he wants to buy the right ©f the county and offers the farmer £4OO, and pays $lO to bind the bargain. The farmer writes to No. 1 and sends him his note for $250. He never hears.of either of the men again, but his note comes up for tion in a neighboring town, and Mr Farmer is out £250.-—Bluff-ton Banner. An editor died and slowly wended his way to hell. The devil saw him and said; For many years thou hast borfie the •blame for the many errors the printer made in the paper. Thy has failed, alas! for subscriptions • never paid. Thy printers have deviled thee on Saturday evening for wages when thou hadst not a cent to thy name. Men have taken thy paper without paying a cent; yea, verily and accursed thee for not issuing a better paper. All these things thou hast borne in silence. Thou canst not come in. There would be a continual dunning of delinquent subscribers (for hell is full of them) and discord will be created in our kingdom. Be gone! Heaven is thy home. A machine which snaps the corn from the stock and then rapidly and effectively husks t it has been devised by Augustus Smith, of Scotland, Dakota. A gatherer and separator mechanism is supported at the front end of a main • frame carried on wheels, there being husking devices at the rear end of the frame, and the two being connected by an elevator which carries the separated corn ears to the husker. The husking mechanism comprises an open bottom trough-like chamber with side walls formed of corrugated rollers arranged longitudinally and in a plane parallel to the feed. The husked ears are discharged into a box under the side of the husker, Laßue Bros, have a bran splinter new delivery wagon and it speaks well for this enterprising firm.
