WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The rainfall for this county the last nine months is about seventeen inches below the norma]. An average rainfall for the same length of time has been observed to be about thirty inches, and this season has been only about thirteen inches.—Winamac Republican. The well-diggers are now reaping their harvest. The pumps are going dry. and over by the state line they have to go from 100 to 150 feet for water. A contributor says: “Keep on tiling and then we can have our water shipped to us from Lake Michigan.’’—Lowell Tribune. The shucks from the sweet corn at the canning factory are much sought after by those who have cattle and are short of pasturage. —Brook Up to Date. The mammoth Arena, Roby’s new prize-fighting building, was totally destroyed by fire Monday night. At the time this institution was in operation a greater disgrace was never endured in Lake county or the state of Indiana. And we guess no one will shed any tears over the loss, especially law-abiding citizens. —Lowell Tribune. A county superintendent in a neighboring county recently told every teacher* in the county institute who took their local paper to hold up their hand, and out of about one hundred only six responded. at which he expressed great surprise, and said: “You don't spend one dollar and a half a year with these papers and you expect them to print, free of charge, notices of institutes, insert long programs of same, and full reports of what you say and do on all these occasions and expect them to advertise you and youi ability in your chosen profession. thus assisting you to i positions and better salaries, without any patronage in re

—These two people have a pleasant way of making a good impression. It's something rather nice, too. Of course it’s fashionable, and don’t show wear nor tear. It's always acceptable. Everybody appreciates it, and it’s never out of season. Once tried, they all want it! By the way, those are the prominent characteristics in THE LUCKY WORSTED CLOTHING.

turn.’’ He closed by saying: “Your position in this would lead me, were I. an editor, to promptly throw into the waste baskelany communications sent by the society, the members of which are too proud or too stingy to take a paper; or, if I inserted it, to demand full advertising rates for every one published.”—Medaryville Advertiser. It is surprising how many things kerosene oil is good for. A Long Island man has found out that if kerosene oil is poured on the surface of stagnant ponds, puddles and water holes where mosquitoes breed, it will exterminate them. This summer L. O. Howard, chief government entomologist of the agricultural department at Washington, cleared the Cornell university campus of these insects simply by pouring kerosene into some postholes that had water in them. Kerosene serves so many useful purposes that it is hard to see how the world kept house before it was discovered.—Exchange.

Some of the farmers in this vicinity are buying calves and hogs to consume the 15 cent oats.—Wolcott Enterprise. A fellow representing himself as connected with the Western Sportsman has been working some parts of this state by proposing to give local sportsmen a write-up in that paper, accompanied with their portraits. He has succeeded in gathering up a large collection of photographs and quite a sum of money advanced by his victims. The write-up never appears.—Monticello Herald. Cement street crossings have been put in on the north and south sides of the public square at private expense. As they had to be built to the new grade, which is several inches lower than the present surface of the

street they serve the purpose of canals much better than street crossings at present. The stockholders are hoping for the early improvement of these streets, amd the board cannot order the work begun any too soon.—Monticello Herald. The Indianapolis Sun states that it is the opinion of the bar of that city that the Acts of 1895 as issued by the Secretary of State are full of errors. Many of the blunders are pointed out which they claim would render citing from this compilation extremely unreliable An Arkansas judge, after a long and careful judicial inquiry has decided that bloomers are not an indecent dress. Now the “new woman ” may'advance another step, until a decision on the knickerbocker puts her alongside the masculine sex when, for purposes of discrimination. a branding process will have to be adopted.—lndianapolis Sun. Teachers’ examinations have become so difficult of late that it would hustle a good many college presidents to make a passing grade. Some of the questions. too. are by no means calculated to test the fitness of the applicant to teach. In some counties, as a result, there are not enough licensed teachers to supply the schools.--Monticello Herald. “Did you observe." said a merchant to a customer, “the handsome advertisement I have had painted on the railing of the bridge?" ••No." replied the customer, “but if you will send the bridge around to my house, , I will try and read the announce- ! ment. I read the papers and ! haven’t time to go around from place to place to read the bill boards." And the merchant scratched his head and walked off. Delphi Citizen.

The Arena for September.

The September Arena opens with a vivid description of the wordy battle now being waged in the legislatures over the agitation for raising the age of consent. The facts are marshalled in order by Helen H. Gardener, the well-known and popular novelist, and deal this month with the arguments, pro and con on the recent legislation in Nebraska. Colorado and Missouri, where the age has been materially raised. Prof. Joseph Rodes Buchanan, whose portrait forms the frontispiece of the number, contributes a striking and valuable article on “The Marvels of Electricity." In his paper called “After Sixty Years," Mr. B. 0. Flower, editor of the Arena, touches upon the disillusions of the career of the reformer, and tells of the career of one who in a lifetime of sixty years' service has not lost faith in humanity, James J. Clark', of California. Stinson Jarvis tells “How Evolution Evolves." Henry Wood, the author of “Natural Law in the Business World,” and other popular metaphisical works, writes on “Omnipresent Divinity," Prof. Frank Parsons, Law Lecturer at the Boston University contributes his second study of the “Economy of Municipal Electric Lighting.” He shows the enormous saving to the taxpayers and diffusion of public benefit which would result from public ownership ''of electric lighting. His comparative statistics can not be refuted. A symposium of clergymen and other writers deal with Prof. George D. Herron and his work. Dr. Herron has created a great stir by • his teaching in the west, and he has been bitterly assailed for some of his views of social Christianity. These gentlemen defend his position. They are Rev. J. R. McLean. Rev. W. W. Scudder, Jr., Rev. J. Cummings Smith, Rev. J. E. Scott, Elder M. J. Ferguson, Rev. R. M. Webster and James G. Clark, the poet. The Hon. John Davis writes on the career of Napoleon Bonaparte from the psychological point of view, and condemns him as simply a criminal genius, utterly worthless to humanity. F. W. Cotton discusses “The Labor Exchange,” and Rev. Dr. Marion D. Shutter deals with “Progressive Changes in Universalist Thought.” The Books of the Day, World of Books and Practical Progress Notes complete an excellent and wellbalanced budget of good reading.

It May Do as Much for You.

Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111. writes that he had a severe kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so called kidney cures but without any good result. About a year ago he began use of Electric Bitters and found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all kidney and liver troubles and often gives almost instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price only 50c. for large bottle. At F. B. Meyer's drug store.

SEVERAL OLD SOLDIERS SHOT

In Reunnelaer Bthceen the Livery Stable and Bridge. All will recover. They were shot with improved Sharp’s rifle, a brass piece of short range: no friction primer used, simply press a button and Old Sol does the rest, causing your shadow to ricochet and come back like a boomerang. Comrade Charley Platt hadn't time to wink. Those that were hit say they did’nt feel the charge at all. They probably will later on. We have a good start, why not hurry it along and come in as soon as you conveniently can while the powder is dry and before we go in winter quarters. I will make you good, first-class pictures in good frame, but each one must help a little by spending about four minutes in my room. Don't be afraid my room is too small.
