Simply because the useless office of county coroner exists it is no justification for his exercising the functions of that office unlawfully and putting the county to unnecessary efcpfense as was done last Monday in the case of the sudden death from “paralysis of the brain” of William Clark. Mr. Clark was walking the street when he had the fatal attack and was seen by several parties to fall. There was no mystery about his death, no one asked for an inquest, and the coroner had no more right to assert his authority in the case than he would have to enter a private residence and inquire into the cause of any ordinary death. Mr. Clark was taken sick on the street and a physician was almost instantly at his side. Fortunately for the coroner he was sufficiently sober to discover a fee in the case and he availed himself, not only of the official opportunity but also constituted himself the undertaker, which latter matter he had a right to do if he so pleased and the relatives did not object. What the people of Jasper county object to is the payment of the coroner’s unlawful fees, and it is the duty of the prosecuting attorney to see that it is not allowed. It is well known that at a late instance when there was occasion for a coroner’s inquest, that official was unable to attend to his duty because of intoxication, and as he is all too frequently in that condition, there should be steps taken to remove him from office and place a responsible man in his place.

Fire Sale of Millinery.
Mrs. L. M. Imes will close out all of her millinery saved from the late fire at the lowest prices ever offered in Rensselaer. All of her summer goods were burned but a portion of her new and seasonable goods were saved. The goods are not damaged other than what would naturally result in the confusion of so hurried a moving. Bargains on every article. Everything must go before the arrival of her new stock. In the Nowels house block.
Fifty Years Ago. Who could Imagine that this should be The place where, In eighteen ninety-three That white world-wonder of arch and dome Should shadow the nations, polychrome... Here at the Fair was the prise conferred On Ayer’s Pills, by the world preferred. Chicago-like, they a record show, Since they started— go yean ago. Ayer’s Cathartic Pills have, from 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 flitting, therefore, that the world-wide popularity of these pills should be reoognized by the World’s Fair medal of 1893—a fact which emphasizes the record: 50 Years of Cures. W e are glad to note that “Uncle Ad” Parkison is going to rebuild his block destroyed by fire last week much finer and better than the old one. He is certainly not of that class of farmers who move to town to rust out in conservatism. It cannot be said of him that it takes ten retired farmers to make one live business man. He came to Rensselaer to help develop the town and has constantly shown his progressive sf irit. We have every reason to believe that his new building will be the most supstantial and perfect that can be erected on the lot. 20 Packet* of Seeds Pree!
