' • , 4s^ajgg^ A RETIRED BUSKESS WOMAN. A Page From Her History. The important experiences of others are interesting. The following is no exception: “‘I had been troubled with heart disease 25 years, much of that t ime very seriously. For live years 1 was treated by one physician continuously. I was iu business, but obliged to retire on account of my health, A physician toid my friends that I could not live a month. My feet and limbs were badly swollen, and b was indeed in a serious condition when a gentleman directed my at tention to Hr. Mlles’ New Heart Cure, and said that his sister, who had been afflicted with heart disease, had been cured by the remedy, and was again astrong, healthy woman. 1 purchased a bottle of the Heart Cure, and in less than an hour after taking the first dose I could feel a decided improvement in the circulation of my blood. When I had taken three doses I could move my ankles, something J had not done for months,and my limbs had been swollen so long that they seemed almost putrified. Before I nad taken one bottle of the New Heart Cure the swelling had all gone down, end I was so much better that I did my own work. On my recommendation six others are taking this valuable remedy.”—Mrs. Morgan, 569 W. Harrison St.,Chicago, 111.

John Fawcett, Jr., editor of the Monon Review, is laying at his home in White County dangerously injured from blows dealt by James H. Turpie. His assailant is the millionaire cattle king of northern Indiana, md a cousin of David Turpie, United States Senator from Indiana. The trouble was over Turpie’s daughter, a beautiful school girl now in her fifteenth year, whom Editor Fawcett is alleged to have slandered. Turpie heard of this and prepared for a meeting. The editor, warned of the fact, took to the country and for over a week had been in hiding near Francisville. Wednesday evening he took a freight to go to Delphi and at a small station on the way Turpie and other men boarded the train. Fawcett was assaulted with a cane and beaten to insensibility. His skull is said to be fractured and one arm is broken in several places from his attempts to ward off Turpie’s blows. The full extent of his injuries is not yet known, but little hope is held out for his recovery. Turpie has not been arrested.

“The Story of the Commonweal,” by Henry Vincent, official historian, is on our desk, and it contains a full history of the Coxey movement, from the first to’the last, the pilgrimage from Massilon. Ohio, to Washington, together with the movement under the leadership of Fry, Kelly and others, and it is a volume well worth perusing. By it, one can fully understand the peculiar ideas of the Coxey movement. The Iroquois ditch case was before the county commissioners this week, but we are unable to state the decision of that body in the case, as it is still before them. As to the outcome we are not prepared to give any comment.

RENSSELAER. IND. FRIDAY MAY 4, 1894.

G. W. Clark, living near Morocco, was here last Wednesday, and while unloading some wheat at the Sayler mill, his team took fright and ran away, and was finally brought to a short stop by running into the iron fence surrounding Simon Thompson’s property. One of the horses was thrown onto the the fence and -was seriously injured by two of the iron pickets, which penetrated the breast of the horse and cut two very large gashes, that had to be attended to by Dr. Kannal. He went at the work with the eye of an old professional, and it was but a short time until the wounds were taken care of nicely, and there is no doubt but that the animal will get along all right. Mr. Clark left the horse here with Mr. Kannal so that he may carefully look after the wounds, that they may heal properly. Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr, of 1235 Harrison St., Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflam atory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last -winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,” he said, “my joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant.” For sale byF. B. Meyer, druggist. The “Olden Times” concert that was given by the choirs of the Methodist and Christian churches, at the Opera House last Friday evening was a complete success in every particular. We have not the time and space to go into details and give an account of each number on the program, but from the applause of the audience it seemed as if it was all satisfactory from start to finish. After the entertainment, ice cream and cake were served by the ladies. The amount cleared was near 824.

Mrs. Margaret Lamson died very suddenly last Thursday morning of appoplexy, at the home of her son, Thomas Lamson, about seven miles west of Rensselaer.

Mrs. Lucy Clark has been granted a pension with about $-100 back pay. It was through Senator Voorhees that the pension was secured for her. We are pleased to hear of her good fortune. There has been a few acres of corn planted in this vicinity, and had it not been for the recent rains, there would have been a great deal more planted than there is. We wish to call the attention of our readers to the new display ads of the Chicago Bargain Store and Jay Williams, the old reliable furniture dealer. Trade among our business men, at present, is pretty dull. The hard times are having their effect on business of every kind.
