CITY AND COUNTY.

Jordan township has cribbed about all its.corn. It is a fine 4-year-old colt that Add Robinson is breaking. Several of the boys have invitations to a ball at Chalmers on the 14th. Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth returned Sunday night from a short visit to their daughter, Mrs. Morton, at Watseka, DI. Mrs. Martha Ann Timmons of Remington is visiting her neice, Mrs. J. H. Fishel, and other relatives in Rensselaer this week. Heat that bed room with one of our S 5 hard coal burners that will keep fire all night with a hat full of coal. N. Warner & Son. The last of the game laws are now out and B. S. Fendig is at the old stand prepared to buy quail, rabbits and all other kinds of game, at the highest cash prices. Charles Blue gave a box social at his school at Pleasant Ridge Saturday night. A good attendance was had. The proceeds are to be used for the purchase of books. A good many people came to town Saturday regardless of the drizzling rain. Perhaps the enterprise of those merchants who advertised sales was the cause of it. Emerald Aldrich’s team took a run yesterday morning, down Washington street leaving a wagon in chunks along the route. No person was injured and the team escaped being hurt. The marsh fires along the Kankakee have been effectually put out by the late rains. The loss has reached quite SIOO,OOO. The Nelson Morris tract of 50,000 acres suffered severely from burning of hay. Considerable rain fell Friday and Saturday, soaking the ground -well and being very beneficial. It was quite cool Sunday morning, and the sun shone part of the day. The air was full of falling snow Saturday morning.

The W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. H. O. Harris, Friday, Nov. 15, at 2:30 p. m. Something out of the ordinary business will take place, and all members of the society and those interested in temperance work are requested to attend. Moore’s Air Tight Heater is one of the new marvels. It takes the place of the baseburner at a much less cost. Burns less coal, is more easily handled, responds quickly to attention and is equally as handsome as the high priced stoves. N. Warner & Son.

Married, Nov. 12, 1895, by Rev. R. D. Utter, at the home of the officiating minister, in Rensselaer, Miss Cora Brown, of Jasper county near Mt. Ayr, to Mr. Wilson Herron, of Morocco, Newton county, Indiana. These excellent young people have the good wishes of many friends. No tone, but many, of Jasper county's farmers, are actually puzzled to know what to do with their corn crop. Their old cribs are full, and their new ones will contain no more. It is a serious question whether to build still other cribs or accept the present market price for the surplus, B. C. Kent has opened his fine new hotel at Goodland. About one hundred guests were present at the opening banquet, which was conspicuous in the ab 1 - sence of wine. Goodland may well be proud of its new hostlery and capable landlord, for a well regulated public house is of vital importance to the reputation of the town, and adds vastly to the general prosperity.

A number of persons in this vicinity were in Rensselaer last Monday and Tuesday to see the celebrated Indian doctor, Dr. Mendenhall. They report that he treated upward of 100 patients in the two days that he was there. Several persons who went to him on his previous visits were free to say that they had been greatly benefited of long standing complaints that other physicians had pronounced incurable. When he comes again in two weeks a number of others in this vicinity intend to try his skill, The doctor may not be better than the local doctors but he has inspired the confidence of many suffering ones.

Dr. M. B. Alter went to Chicago Tuesday. Dr. Washburn was at Rose Lawn Monday. Wile Duval was out again th is week recovered from his recent accident. Prosecuting Attorney Douthit is away this week on legal business. Mrs. Fulton of Chicago is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Andy Saylor, west of town. Superintendent Craig and Secretary Man are said to be good and instructive speakers. On account of the sickness of Miss Nellie Coen there was no school last week in her room. Eight of Marion township teachers went to Goodland last week to attend the teachers’ institute. Grace Scott of Monticello attended the funeral of her friend Miss Rose Makeever, last Sunday. Sanford Makeever was down from Chicago to attend the funeral of his favorite sister Rose last Sunday. Miss Jennie Miller and the Misses Mills and Kennedy went to Chicago last week to visit the schools there. Still improvments go on. Mr. Parks is now building a neat and commodious house across the river, adjoining J. Porter. Mrs. Foltz, mother of Frank Foltz, returned from her trip to Illinois last Saturday evening, after an absence of two months. The Newel’s House opened for business last Saturday under the management of W. D. Sanders, after having been closed several weeks for repairs. Have you lost a boy? If so go to the county Sunday school convention and you may hear something about him. Go to the Christian church Saturday afternoon. Mrs. W. H. Coover and son Clyde went to Remington last week, remaining over Sunday. Mrs. Coover’s mother was ill but we are glad to know she is improving.

The daughters of Rebecca of Rensselaer will receive thirteen candidates Friday night. The Remington lodge will furnish the team. Both the Odd Fellows and Rebeccas are increasing in membership very rapidly. At a recent called meeting of the Rensselaer pastors it was unanimously resolved to announce all evening services to begin at 7 o’clock until further notice; also, 10:45 was endorsed as the hour for the Sunday morning services.

Miss Rose Belle Makeever died at hpr home, at Mr. Wm. Coen’s, in Rensselaer last Saturday morning. She has been a constant suffered all her life and death was not unexpected by her friends. The funeral was held at the Trinity M. E. church, Sunday, Nov. 10, at 2:30 p. m., Rev. Paradis conducting the services. Interment was made in Weston cemetery. Albert Overton and Charley Cox, “the two handsomest young men in Rensselaer,” made cf relay livery trip to Fowler Sunday, changing teams at Goodland, and Raub, covering close to 10Q miles including a few side shoots with a couple of Fowler’s blooming blondes. The day was certainly well put in for the home rig did not show up at the starting point until about daylight Monday morning.

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.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of themucuos surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Chenny & Co. Toledo, O.

Journey Around The World.

This highly instructive and splendidly illustrated volume is a record of a recent journey around the world, by Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D., President of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor, and his wife. Throughout the long journey, which occupied more than a year, and covered nearly fifty thousand miles by sea and land, they enjoyed rare opportunities for observation and study. It is one of the most valuable books ever issued by the American press. The reader is personally conducted through Australia, India, China, Japan, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, and many other lands. We see these countries through American eyes, and obtain a perfectly clear view of them and their people, supplemented by two humdred and twenty splendid illustrations from photographs, most of which were ta-

ken by Dr. Clark himself; for he carried a complete photographic outfit with him. Dr. Clark was one of the last Americans to travel through China and Japan before the war between these countries was begun. In this rare volume he gives us the latest and best insight into the daily life of a Chinaman in his own country; his favorite food aud odd dishes; opium fiends and their ways; the singular rites witnessed in the temples; the public execution of criminals; Chinese farms and farming; the seamy side of Chinese life, Japanese acrobats and their wonderful performances; Japanese life, queer customs, art, wonderful skill, etc., the burning ghats of India, where the bodies of the dead are consumed on hugh piles of wood (a ceremony Dr. Clark witnessed;) the Towers of Silence where the dead are exposed to be devoured by thousands of waiting vultures that constantly sit on the walls; wonderful native jugglers, fearless snake charmers and fakirsthese are but a few of hundreds of interesting topics presented.

Their route led across the land that Joseph gave to his father and brethren; past the very fields where the Isralites made bricks without straw, and along the highways where once rolled the chariots of the Pharaohs. The story of the discovery of the mummy of the Pharaoh who oppresed the children of Israel, is wonderfully interesting. It was found among those of forty other mummies of kings, queens, and princes in the royal mortuary chamber in the Theban Hills, and the identification of Pharaoh is complete. Illustrations from, photographs show where the mummy was found, and others giye full-length, profile, and front views of this ancient king who was contempory with Moses and reigned in Bible times thus enabling all to see “just how Pharoah looked. A journey was made of hundreds of miles in an old spring wagon across Turkey and Armenia, through an unknown country, infested by robbers and hostile natives, the scene of the late horrible massacres of Armenians by Turks and Khurds. Dr. Clark was the last Christian to travel across these countries before these terrible massacres were perpetrated. The story of this perilous trip is full of thrilling interest and exciting adventures.

Mrs. Clark accompanied her husband every where. Shedraws a vivid picture of life in far-off lands, “As seen through a Woman’s Eyes.” Her natrative is packed with anecdotes, incidents and personal experiences. Her long journey in the wagon is highly entertaining, its privations and perils, especially to a woman, being many. She was the only woman in the party, which consisted of herself and seven men.

Dr. Clark’s name is a familiar household word, and his fame as President of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor, with its two and one half million members, has extended to every corner of the world. Many distinguished persons urged him to write this book. They knew that he had acquired in this remarkable journey a wealth of material which, with his unique collection of photographs, would make one of the most valuable books of the day. It Contains steel-plate portraits of Dr. Clark and of his wife, from recent photographs; a large map, exhibiting the whole world at a glance, showing the author’s journey from the beginning to the end, and 220 fine illustrations, from photographs from life. These must be seen to be appreciated. We do not know when 640 pages have given us more genuine pleasure. If we speak warmly of the hook, it is because it richly deserves it. It is sold only by agents, and is meeting with an enormous sale. Agents who introduce a first-class work like this ought to be cordially welcomed. We believe that the best way to keep out poor books is by introducing good ones, and a better one than this has never been brought to our notice. Put it into your homes. It will be read over and over again by old and young, with pleasure and lasting profit. The work is published by the old and well-known firm of A. D. Worthington & Co., Hartford, Conn., whose imprint is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the volume. Miss Belle Slaughter has taken the agency for the book and those who desire the work will please reserve their order for her.
