Chronic constipation is a painful, disagreerble and life-shortening difficulty. It deranges the system, causes sick headache, bad breath, and poisons the blood. It can be readily overcome by DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. These little pills are great regulators.

OBITUARY.
Belle Amelia, daughter of Mrs. Mary Hartberg, was born June 27, 1879, at Richland, Ills. She came «with her mother to Rensselaer when eleven years of age, where she spent the rest of her days. She died at St. Elizabeth’s hospital, Chicago, at 8 o’clock, Saturday night, Sept. 26, 1896, aged seventeen last June. The last three years of her life were years of much suffering, chiefly of a nervous character, years withal of great patience and cheerful resignation. She was received into the communion or the Lutheran church at the age of fourteen, accepting Christ as her Savior, and dedicating herself to the service of (Tod. Her own church having no organization in Rensselaer, she became a faithful attendant, as much so as her health would permit, on the services of this (the Methodist) church, to which she soon came to feel deeply attached. She was giver, to prayer, resigned to the will of God, and, when the messenger called, she was ready’ to go. Shortly before her departure she was heard to pray with unusual earnestness and pathos. Her last breath left a prayer lingering upon her lips. Farewell, dear child! How happy thy lot! free from all sorrow and pain,—rejoicing in the Savior’s smiles, —safe in the city of God, —safe at home! Peacefully rest thy dust till the resurrection day, when this mortal body shall put on immortality! One sister preceded her across the silent river. One sister, two brothers,and the mother remain. The funeral services were held at Trinity M. E. Church, Monday, 3 p. m., Sept. 28 1896, the pastor, Rev. R. D. Utter, offi ciating, Interment in Weston cemetery.
Death of John Kenton.
After an illness of two weeks, MrJohn Kenton, son of Jasper and Mary C. Kenton, died of typhoid fever and congestion of the brain at the home of his uncle, Simon Kenton, of Newton township, Saturday, September 26,1896, at the age of 19 years, 1 month and 26 days. The interment took place in Smith cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. W. H. Sayler of Kenesaw, Neb. The deceased was a bright young young man of great promise and the blew falls heavily on his devoted parents and many friends. The family moved to Michigan a year ago, but he was in the Hillsdale schools last year. Robert Platts died last Monday morning about four o’clock; he has been sick for several weeks with typhoid fever and his death was not altogether unlooked for; he was a worthy citizen and his premature death has cast a shadow on the hearts of his numerous friends and relatives that only time can remove.
The Quantitive Theory.
We populists are likely to be prosaic in our mental process. For instance, how can our friend Economist A. Atkinson, tell us that the quantitive theory in finance "is exploded and in the next breath assure us that the flood of silver dollars under free coinage will be worth 50 cents, or, to be more precise, a bushel will exchange for a silver dollar where it now exchanges for a half dollar. He is again contradicting himself, since if the supply of money does not govern prices, what possible effect could a million or a billion silver dollars under free coinage have on prices? None, if the quantitive theory is exploded, but a very pronounced one if the theory is doing business at the old stand. But we all know Mr. Atkinson knows more about heat radiating from a kitchen stove than about finance. Again he tells us in his letter published Sept. 24, that labor has not fallen in price. Let him suppose that we were owing England sl, 000,000,000 m 1873. which we might have paid at that time with 1,000,000,000 bushels of wheat. Let him suppose we owe England the same amount now, We find it takes 2,000,000,000 bushels of wheat to pay the debt to-day. If the cost of producing wheat is less than in 1873, surely the farmer should have the benefit of it. But has he? His present condition answers the question. We need no statistics to show that he wears a crown of thorns. He is paying the national debt with his wheat on land irrigated by the sweat of the hand and brow. Mr.McKinley’s remedy is more taxes; Mr. Atkinson calls it over production, and his logical rem-, edy is, stop producing. We, the plain people, call it compe tition with the serf labor of India. Our remedy is, restore silver and thereby make the Indian farmer, who is usually an Eng-
lishman, .pay his serfs a silver dollar such as we pay.x We wish to deny him the privilage of purchasing his silver in this country at 50 cents on the dollar and working it off on him as a hundred cent dollar. The silver he uses must be made to cost him more and wnen free coinage accomplishes this a considerable portion o.f Indian competition will be cut off. Mr. Atkinsbn makes us believe that wages have not fallen. We see too many farmers who get absolutely nothing for their labor; we know too many men who have had their wages reduced 100 per cent and are begging in consequence. W. A. L. Chicago, Sept., 24. J
Has Yellow Abscesses.
effectiveness of ridicule has always been recognized as one of the most powerful of arguments, and it is also understood to be the resort of the champion of a cahse that argument wont save. Ridicule seems to be the burden of the speeches made by the talented Hon. Simon P. Thompson, candidate circuit judge, but it is barely possible that he has overestimated the tremendous force of his illustrations, and that hi§’description of the free silver man may be a boomerang in his hands. When a political teacher has to resort to calling his apponents idiots, and characterizing them as a class as beneath his notice, he has reached the desperate conclusion that he cannot answer their arguments, Mr. Tqompson only last week facetiously described the silver man as being readily recognized by the imbecil expression of his face. He very funnily attributes to him an extreme narrowness between the eydfe and an entire absence of any cranial cavity for gray matter, the skull, being drawn to conical point like the hat of a Mexican peon. There is not a doubt as to the heroic size of brother Thompson’s head but it is not filled with gray (silver) matter to any serious extent, for it is honeycombed through and through with yellow (gold) abscesses that smell loudly to the nostrils of the debt ridden farmers ot this judicial district.
A SOLDIER FOR BRYAN.
Replying to the communication of A. A. Stuart, ex-member of the 17th lowa’ voluteers, in The Record of Sept. 14, I de sire to say that I am an ex-mem-ber of the 17th Illinois volunteer infantry, the first regiment mustered into the service in this state “For three years or during thr war,” and that I shall most certainly vote this fall for the ticket named by “H. A. M.,” ex-member of the 12th Wisconsin. And I shall do so because I fully “indorse the idea that the gold dollar has appreciated to double its rightful purchasing value.” I am the recipient of a pension for wounds received at Fort Donelson, and though I am otherwise disabled I will willingly forego my claim upon the government if thereby we may be saved from the blighting effects of British “sound money” theories. I have always heretofore voted the republican ticket straight, but, placing principle above party. I shall hereafter do my own thinking and vote my own convictions, and sneers cannot deter me. My record as a soldier is wide open for inspection.

Frank Kelly presents this office with a seeding peach of the Bryan quality and free silver size. It was grown on a four-year old tree, and was one of nine that collectively weighed five pounds, the largest measuring 104 inches in circumference and the smallest 94 inches. Our brother, B. L. Sayler, who is mentioned in last week’s Republican as claiming championship for his nine McKinley peaches that weighed an insignificant 4 pounds and 3 ounces, is entirely outclassed.

Here at the Fair was the prize conferred On Ayer’s Pills, by the World preferred. Chicago-like, they a record show, Since they started—so years ago. Ayer’s Cathartic Pills have, frpm the time of their preparation, been a continuous success with the public. And that means that Ayer’s Pills accomplish what is promised for them; they cure where others fail. It was fitting, therefore, that the world-wide popularity of these pills should be recognized by the World’s Fair medal of 1893 —a fact which emphasizes the record: 50 Years of Cures.
The Only Exclusively Shoe Store.
Judge Haley has enlarged his shoe store by building an extention for his repair shop. This enlargement gives him a very nice sales room, and he has received this week a large stock of new goods which will a very complete line of all kinds of shoes for all kinds of people. The judge has no clerks or rent to pay and these are items that enable him to make lower prices than others can do.

Gold and Silver Mining.
There is more good horse sense in the letter of Mr. Evans of Ottumwa, lowa, about natural conditions of mining in the west than anything I have read for a long time. The eastern man' knows nothing about the western mining. The real facts are that this country is a gold and silver producing country- The two are best mined together. With but few exceptions the mines produce both gold and silver. A well equipped mining outfit consists of apparatus and tools aud machinery to mine both metals, and no miner is without all this. When you round up theoutputof both in the entire mining districts, the ratio between these two appears to be struck in the eternal hills.* It’s a law of God. Man’s laws are useless when that higher law is followed. It is very poor logic to legislate against natural conditions and environments. The statesman never does. In this country congress has killed the silver goose that lays the golden egg; for it has stopped the use of silver the mining of which produces gold. The rule'in this country will always be the more silver mined the more gold produced, and vice versa. Let congress keep on legislating against the natural conditions and environments of the people for awhile longer if it wants to create disorder and resistance to its foolish laws. Patriotism is not blind submission to tyranicaflaws plainly unconstitutional. Majorities must learn to stand for constitutional •laws or they will not be in trie majority any length of time"
