The constable is still in pursuit of them, and it is earnestly hoped by the citizens of this place that' they will be caught, and suffer the penalties that are due to all such people. Starlight.

Gets His Stamps Free.

Again we repeat tk.it what a boy can’t think of and put into execution, there is no use for any one else to try. This is the case of young Will Lawrence ©f this place. He surely must have been wanting some extra postage stamps when he placed the following “ad’’ in the Chicago Inter. Ocean: TXT ANTED—Suite of rooms on second floor. Tl suitable for man. wife and two small children, for the third week in Octolx-r. To say that replies to the above came in thick and fast is placing it mildly. For a time it seemed to Willie that the entire city of Chicago was at his disposal, and the best part of the whole affair was that almost every letter he received contained a two cent postage stamp. Willie is now going around with a pocket full of stamps.

Fire at Francesville.

As we go to press we learn that quite a conflagration visited Francesville last Monday night. 'Considerable damage was done, but it is thought that the loss was fully covered by insurance. The dry goods and grocery store of Mallon Bros., also a drug store next to them, together with ;he Francesville bank, was consumed. The greater portion of he dry goods stock of Mallon Bros, was saved. We were unable to learn as to the cause of the fire.

Prof. Hicks weather prediction for October is as follows: The month begins with cool days and frosty nights. A change will occur between the 3rd and 6th, with bluster and fall rain. About the 9th and 10th it will begin to grow warmer, and severe storms will occur on bodies of water, with probably snow in the north and west. A storm period from the 15th to 18th will naugurate wintry storms, folowed by much freezing to the north. Secondary disturbances about the 22nd and 23rd will be ollowed by clear cold days and 'rosty nights, up to a storm period beginning with the 26th and lasting until the close of the month. Considerable winter will ?e experienced about the last of the month.

We have on exhibition at this office an ear of corn brought in by George Pumphrey, who lives near Mt. Ayr. The unusual 'eature about this ear of corn is its remarkable growth, etc. The corn was planted on the fifth day of last June, passed through the drought of the past summer, and comes out a fully developed ear of corn. The ear we have here measures 11 inches in length, 8f inches in circumference, and has twenty rows of grains to the cob, of as fine a corn as one- would want to see. It is of the Riley’s Favorite Yellow variety. Who can beat it?

The health officers should look after the alleys and out houses over the town. The delicate perfumes of some of these have already been wafted to our and as near as we can tell, there must have been not less than thirty-seven distinct and separate smells that greeted us. Such as this invites disease and a general cleaning up should be made. Many streets and alleys are filled with weeds of the rankest growth, which, from the continued drouth of the past summer, are commencing to decay and should be looked after at once. Clean up.

One of the worst crimes that could possibly be committed by human hands, was perpetrated one hight last week in the Shereville cemetery in Lake county. Some low lived vandal entered the cemetery, and with a sledge hammer or ax, he proceeded to demolish the handsome marble monuments and grave stones that adore the cemetery. To cap the climax they then visited a church near by and stole everything of any value, after which they took all the books, banners, etc., and burned them. No clue as to who did the deed. The “Farmer’s Daughter” company, which was to have played here last Tuesday evening, stranded at some Michigan town last week. The agent was here three or four days unable to get out of town for lack of funds. He was finally relieved by the proprietor of the company and went his way rejoicing. This has been a remarkably hard year on theatrical enterprises and many a one has gone to the wall. Ignorance of the merits of De Witt’s Little Early Risers is a misfortune. These little pills regulate the liver, cure headache, dyspepsia, bad breath, constipation and biliousness. A. F. Long & Co.

I AM NOW ENJOYING PERFECT f j* HEALTH. Cason, Ind., Feb. 2, 1892. [ Dr. Man-O-Wa, Frankfort, j Ind. Dear sir:—l have been a i sufferer for twelve years from nervous debility, dyspepsia and troubles resulting from child I 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 I 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. Grand Millinery Opening. The ladies of Rensselaer ane vicinity are reminded of Miss Mary Meyer’s grand millinery opening on next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 19, 20 and 21. The latest novelties in millinery goods will be shown, and her prices have never been ower for the quality of goods. Remember the date.

All that honesty, experience and skill can do to produce a lerfect pill, has been employed n making De Witt’s Little Early Risers.. The result is a specific for sick headache, biliousness and constipation. A. F. Long & Co. You can obtain the best photos at Porter’s Studio, at Williams’ old stand. We employ only the very best workmen. A word to the wise is sufficient. Respectfully, Porter’s Studio.

Marriage Licences. The following persons have been granted marriage licenses since our last report: Julius Brown and Susan C. Irwin. Quite a number of articles lave been going the rounds of ;he country newspapers for some ;ime, regarding delinquent subscribers, does advertising pay, etc., but the latest one is a stunner, which we quote from a Missouri paper as follows: “According to an old story, a preacher told a little girl, in answer to a query, that everything is in heaven as it is upon earth except that there were no newspapers there because they couldn’t get enough printers through the pearly gates to set the type. But the preacher’s theory has now been exploded. A newspaper foreman has been leard from through a spiritualistic medium, and he says heaven is full of printers, reporters and editors, but it is impossible to run a paper there, as elsewhere, without a devil. Thus another slander upon “the art preservative” is refuted.”

Rev. H. C. Keeley, the evangelist, who has been holding a series of meetings at the Presbyterian church, closed them on Thursday evening of last week. He had intended closing on Wednesday evening, but he was requested to hold over until Thursday night, which he did. This series of meetings awakened quite an interest among the members of the church as well as in the outside world. Notwithstanding the little disturbance which occurred during the meeting, all were well pleased with his sermons. 'He left Friday for a visit to the World’s Fair,

At Winamac Michael Lynch has sued the Monon railway for $30,000 damages for injuries received last January. Lynch was unloading hay at the time, about sixty feet from the railroad, when the boiler of a locomotive passing by exploded, crippling him for life. The bursting of the locomotive occurred at Medaryville and two men, one of whom was the engineer, received fatal injuries. Patrick O’Meara, of Effingham, Kansas, was the guest of relatives here Monday and Tuesday of this week. He left Wednesday morning to see the World’s Fair. He is a brother of Sylvester O’Meara of this place. The former was here about two years ago on a visit to his brother, it having been the first time they had met for over twenty-five years. Mrs. Lecklider has just returned from Chicago, find no doubt has the largest and best line of fall and winter millinery goods were shown in this market and her prices are remarkably low. You should see her before buying elsewhere. Several decendents of Ham were in town the first of the week, and, their being strangers to this community, attracted considerable attention.

We hear of some very unmannerly conduct of several of our would-be young men, who were recently invited to a party given by one of the young ladies of this place. The young men were invited to attend and went to the residence, but instead of going in, as they should have done, proceeded to climb the trees near by dike young apes, and pelt the windows with corn, shot and tick-tacks, and made the evening hideous by their supposed smartness.

Adam Shriver and daughter, Miss Rose, of Harper, Kansas, was here last week visiting relatives. Mr. S. is a prosperous real estate dealer in that enterprising western town, and by the way was one of the thousands who were in the great rush at the opening of the Cherokee strip, and was successful in securing a good lot near the public square of one of the towns in that section. ■ The Louisana lottery still continues to exist and to send out its advertising matter through the express companies over the country. Express Agent Maloy, of this place, received a large consignment of circulars the first of this week, which were addressed to many of our citizens. This corporation seems to be on its last legs. This year has been marked with innumerable disasters. The loss of human life has been appalling on all sides. Some of the most horrible railroad and ocean catastrophes have occurred ever known in the annals of time. It seems to have been universal the world over. We could not improve the quality if paid double the price. De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve is the best salve that experience can produce, or that money can buy. a. F. Long & Co.
