Believes in Advertising.

Rev. H. C. Keeley, the evangelist, who has been holding a series of meetings at the Presbyterian church, was a pleasant caller at this office a few days ago. Rev. Keeley is a firm believer in advertising, and he handed us the following clipping from an Osceola, (Mo.) paper: “We have heard a good story told on one of our merchants the other day. It is a fact that right here in Osceola are firms trying to do business on the old crossroad theory, that is withoutadvertising. A gentleman remarked that they were spoiled when boys. The father of one of them owned a cow which would back up to the boy to be milked, no matter where he might sit down. Ever since they have trying to do businesss on the same principle. It would not astonish us if they find out yet that all cows don’t do that way.”

Patriotism.

Cardinal Gibbons, in speaking to the Catholic children at Freeport, 111., said: ; “You, boys, I want to become noble, patriotic citizens of the United States. We have no titles in this country and we do not want any. The highest aim we can have is to be an American citizen. The people of Rome said they were glad of their am tiquity, their soldiers and their statesmen. We have no antiquity, of which to boast, but we are proud of our statesmen and of our soldiers, and of our citizens and every man who desires to live in this country should be a patriotic American citizen. “Then my dear children, let me say here that you should have two great aims in life. You should show fidelity to your dhurch and you should show love for your land by patriotic and unflinching devotion to the flag of your country.” »

/ AM NOW ENJOYING PERFECT HEALTH. Cason, Ind., Feb. 2, 1892. Dr. Man-O-Wa. Frankfort, Ind. Dear sir:—l have been a sufferer for twelve years from nervous debility, dyspepsia and troubles resulting from child birth. I was a miserable invalid and was unable to be up at all times. lam happy to say that after taking a thorough course of treatment from Dr. Man-O-Wa I am now enjoying perfect health for the first time in 12 years. Yours truly, Eliza Stoops. Dr. Man-O-Wa will be at the Makeever House in Rensselaer on Wednesday, Oct. 18th. We made mention last week of the organization of a dramatic company, of which the following young gentlemen and ladies take part. Messrs. Wm. Lloyd, Frank Maloy, Fred Phillips and Misses Genevieve Huffman, Martha Robinson, Eliza Tuteur and Hattie Rhodes. The play, “Our Boys,” is a comedy of high order, which is under the personal direction direction of Mr. Llyod, who was at one time connected with the Booth-Barrett combination. Everybody knows the other gentlemen and ladies and that is a sufficient guarantee that the play will be a success. Dr. M. E. Blair, of Ohio, was in Rensselaer last week extracting teeth without pain. Several hundred teeth were extracted and those who had their teeth out say they experienced no pain whatever. Dr. Horton has equipments and will continue to extract teeth absolutely without pain or harm. No charge when not satisfactory. Will visit Dunnville, Tuesday, October 10. Wouldn’t it be a good thing to have an Amrican flag floating from the pole on the north school building. There is nothing that inspires and teaches patriotism as the sight of the grand old stars and stripes. The flag should be flying from the school house during school hours, at least. County Recorder Hunt made record this week of some original. patents to lands from the United .States to the following persons: Mary Noland, July 1, 1852; Wm. M. Noland, Jan. 10, 1850; James Williams, May' 10, 1840; William J. Larn, April 1, 1648; Mary Noland, Dec. 31,1850. Mrs. Lecklider has secured the services of Miss Avey, of Ft.

To the Editor—Permit me to say through the columns of your valuable paper to the brothers of Iroquois Lodge No. 143, I. 0. O. F., of your city, that their splendid appearance in the parade September 25th, in this city, was commented upon favorably by many who viewed the parade. The excellent showing the brothers from Rensselaer made is not only a credit to the lodge and order they represented, but also to the city and state they call their own. I was in a position where I could observe the entire parade, and can truthfully say that the Rensselaer lodge compared most favorably with other lodges, and especially those from Indiana. J. M.

The Waukarusha Ditch.

This case has for some time been hanging fire in the hands of the commissioners, owing to the many complications which have arisen. On Monday the final report of the viewers and engineers was taken into consideration, and all those who had heretofore filed exceptions to the reports of viewers as amended, filed demurrer to above. The board then took the case under advisement until Tuesday morning. At the calling of the case on Tuesday the board sustained a part of the petitioners’ demurrer. Exceptions were then filed by Elizabeth A. Givens, Evelyn J. J. Porter. Sarah E. Watson, Mary C. Wood, Wm. M. Hoover and Sarah A. Rees, together with sufficient bonds to cover costs, which was duly approved by the auditor. Henry Welsh, Frank Welsh, James D. Babcock, and Wm. M.
