An exchange asks if you ever noticed that when a man drops a piece of meat on the floor, no difference how clean the floor may be, he will either give it a kick or pick it up and lay it to one side. He will never eat it. But let him drop his plug of tobacco on the street, and no differrence how dirty the street may be, he will pick it up, give it a careless wipe on his coat sleeve, or on the bosom of his pants, and then take a big chew from it with a keener relish than ever. When on a visit to lowa, Mr. K. Dalton. ®f Luray, Russell County Kansas, called at the laboratory of Chamberlain’s & Co., Des Moines to show them his six year old boy, whose life had been saved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, it having cured him of a very severe attack of croup. Mr. Dalton is certain that it saved his boy’s life and is enthusiastic in his praise of the Remedy. For sale by F. B. Meyers “the druggist.”

Speaking, for ourselves, we are always glad to pick up the Chicago Express, now edited by Henry Vincent, for the pointers it furnishes bearing directly upon our movement.

RENSSELAER. IND., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1893.

Mr. J. P. Blaize, an extensive | real estate dealer in Des Moines, lowa narrowly escaped one of the severest attack of pneumonia while in the northern part of that state during a recent blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr. Blaize had occasion to drive several miles during the stornj and was so thoroughly chilled that he was unable to get warm, and inside of an hour after his return he was threatened with a severe case of pneumoniaor lung fever. Mr. Blaize sent to the nearest drugstore and got a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard, and took a number of large doses. He says the effect was wonderful and in a short time he was breathing quite easily. He kept on taking the medicine and the next day was able to come to Des Moines. Mr. Blaize regards as simply wonderful. For sale by F. B. Meyers “the druggist.”

A man in Illinois is making a good living by writing to hard drinkers that if they will send him a dollar, he will impart to them an infallible cure for drunk enness. When they comply with this request he sends them a neatly printed card bearing the words: “Don’t drink any-' thing but water.” Isaac D. Barkley, well known to our citizens, died at his home in Rensaelaer on Sunday. At the time of his death he was 82 years and seven months of age. The funeral was held at the M. E.

The second edition of the December World’s Fair Cosmopolitan brings the total up to the extraordinary figure of 400,000 copies, an unprecedented result in the history of magazines. Four hundred thousand copies—--200 tons—ninety-four million pages—enough to fill 200 wagons with 2000 pounds each—in a single line, in close order, this would be a file of wagons more than a mile and a half long. This means not less than 2,000,000 readers, scattered throughout every town and village in the United States. The course of The Cosmopolitan for the past twelve months may be compared to that of a rolling snowball; more subscribers mean more money spent in buying the best articles and best illustrations in the world; better illustrations and better articles mean more subscribers, and so the two things arc acting and re-acting upon each other until it seems probable that the day is not fardistant when the magazine publisher will be able to give so excellent an article that it will claim the attention of every intelligent reader in the country. Last Saturday brought a great many people to town from the country. That liberal old gent— Santa Claus—needs to have his yearly stock replenished for the little ones, and of course the merchants look forward to the time of this coming as well. There was not the money to spend this year as in the past. Hard times makes a poor Santa Clause, but yet the merchants report fair sales this year, notwithstanding the closeness of the money question at the present time.

Mrs. A, G. Hardy, wife of the superintendent of the county poor farm, died very suddenly last Monday from hemorrage of the abdominal cavity?

Loughridge and Alter, and their examination proved as stated above. The remains were taken to Remington for buria* on Wednesday. Dee, the young son of B. F. Ferguson, met with what might have been a very serious accident, last Monday. Ho was throwing hay down from a stable loft, and after ffnisning the work threw the fork to the lower floor and started to climb down. Before reaching the floor, he jumped and struck the pitchfork, which entered his right thigh, making a very dangerous wound. He is slowly improving at this writing.

The Christmas entertainment at the Presbyterian church, last Monday evening was excellent. One of the features of the evening was the orchestral music, which was highly appreciated.

Beeley Roberts, son of Press Roberts, who- lives about ten miles west of town, was accidentsho.t last Monday while out, hunting with his brother Claude and Art Sanderson. . Young Roberts had shot a rabbit and ran ahead of the other boys to pick it up, when his brother’s gun was accidentally discharged, and he received the entire contents of the gun into his right side and shoulder. He is in a rather critical condition at this writing. Dr. Loughridge attended the case. The poor of our town were kindly remembered with a sack of flour and a turkey, last Saturday through the generosity of Uncle Alf. McCoy. Such things as these are never forgotten by those in need, and wo know that Uncle Alf. has their prayers and thanks for his lifferality.

The cantata. “How Wo Waited for Santa Claus,’ given by the Sunday school of the Christian church at the Opera House, on Friday night of last week, was a complete success in every particular.
