Rheumatism What is the use of telling the rheumatic that lie feels as if his joints were being dislocated ? He knows that his sufferings are very much like the tortures of the rack. What he wants to know is what will permanently cure his disease. That, according to thousands of grateful testimonials, is Hood's Sarsaparilla It promptly neutralizes the acid in the blood on which the disease depends, completely eliminates it, and strengthens the system against its return. Try Hood’s.

The restaurants and hotel keepers in Rensselaer have entered into an agreement to serve no more full meals for less than 35 cents.

S. E. Yeoman, tike fruit tree agent can be found at'' Worland’s buggy store In Rensselaer every evening and on Saturdays, where he will take pleasure in showing samples and taking your order for the best nursery stock in the country. News has been received here of the death of Frank Roberta, at San Antonio, Texas, June sth. His death was sudden and was caused by dropsy of the heart. Frank was a brother of C. A. Roberts, of Rensselaer, and at one time was a resident of this city. Dr. F. D. Wilson and Mrs. Bertha Cyphers, of Thayer, were married on last Sunday evening by Squire Miller, at his home east of Thayer. It will be remembered that Dr. Wilson is the man recently convicted of bigamy and Miss Cyphers figured as wife No. two. Mr. William Beck and Miss Etta Donnelly, daughter of Mrs. Martha Donnelly, were married at St. Augustine’s Catholic church Tuesday morning at nine o’clock, in the presence of a numb-r of guests.

It was a great pleasure to the old gentleman to meet so many friends and it was with feelings of reverence that the corps paid their respects to one to whom has come the serenity and peace which follows a well spent life. Lowell has placarded the town with the handsomest and largest Fourth of July bills we have seen this year. They advertise the Citizens’ band, of Rensselaer, as an attraction, and also a game of ball between Rensselaer and Lowell. They also advertise that 500 rooters will be there from Rensselaer. It is a common remark that song birds seem to be more numerous this summer than they have for manyyears past. We never knew the robins, catbirds, orioles, wrens and other kinds more plentiful in our groves. The agitation over the State for the protection of song birds is bearing fruit. Ira C. Dowell, of lowa, and Miss Pearl Parker, of Hanging Grove town- ; ship, were married at the home of the bride’s parents last Friday evening by Squire Troxell. Immediately after ' the ceremony the groom deserted the, bride and left, the state. It is stated ! that proceedings will be instituted to compel Dowell to provide for the support of his child, which was born Decoration day. It is reported that the Kentland Enterprize and Democrat will move their plants to Goodland upon the change of county seats. This would be a wise move on the part of the Democrat, but the Enterprise should stay where it is, as the Goodland Herald is fully capable of looking after the interests of the Republicans of the county and is entitled to whatever patronage the removal of the county seat may bring. The official canvass of the Newton county seat removal vote gives Goodland but one vote over the 65 per cent required. Keptland states that she will-no longer appose the removal of the county seat and before many’ months a new court house will be in process of construction at Goodland. The successful town is required to donate at least two acres of ground on which to build the court house and to pay the value of the old buildings at Kentland. The high water in the Kankakee river gave the carp fish ample oppor tunity to go out in the fields foraging and several days last week hundreds of men and boys could be found wading about the farm lands with spears and pitchforks in search of them, and large catches were made, They are so numerous that wagon loads of them can be picked up when the water recedes and it is quite encouraging to know that the flood has done sotne good by thinning them out.—Crown Point Star.

Jesse Stevens, captain of tbe Gas Belt Auto Club, of Muncie, who has no doubt heard of Rev. Meads’ proposed gospel automobile, has started a subscription for the purchase of a similar automobile. His plan being to raise S4OOO with which to buy a large vehicle from which a gospel campaign might be conducted. The proposed vehicle would have a platform large enough for a cnorus of twenty-five, together with ministers. The machine would go from place to place over the State where meetings might be desired. Griswold’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin company gave a tent performance here Monday night. From a flnanc al point of view the show was a success, the tent being literally jammed with people. The crush at the ticket office was perhaps the greatest ever seen in this city, and the same rush for reserved seats at an additional price of admission was re-enacted when the inside of the tent was reached. The performance, while up to the usual standard of Uncle Tom tent shows, was bad from beginning to end. The concert after the performance was also well patronized.

A Serious Offense.

The post office department has called our attention to the following paragraph taken from the post office i appropriation bill in regard to tamper ing with rural delivery mail boxes, with the request that we publish the same: “Whoever shall hereafter willfully or maliciously injure, tear down, or destroy any letter box or other receptacle established by order of the Postmaster General or approved or designated by him for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any rural free delivery route, or shall break open the same, or willfully or maliciously injure, deface, ordestioy any mail matter deposited therein, or shall willfullyitake or steal such matter from or out of such letter box or other receptacle, or shall willfully aid or assist in any of the aforementioned offenses, shall for every such offense be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment for not more than three years.”

A Real Friend. “I suffered from dyspepsia and indigestion for fifteen years,” says W. T. Sturdevant, of Merry Oaks, N. C. “After I tried many doctorsland medicines to no avail one of my 'friends persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave me immediate relief. I can eat almost anything I want now and iny digestion is- good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol ” Don’t try to cure stomach trouble b dieting. That only further weakens the system. You need wholesome, strengthening food. Kodol enables you to assimilate what you eat by digesting it without the stomach’s aid. A. F. Long. Fourth of July Rates. On account of the 4th ofJulyholi day a rate of one fare for round trip within a distance of 200 miles will be made. Tickets sold on July 3rd and 4th, good returning to and including July 7th. Trains No. 5,6, 33 and 30 will stop at all stations on July 4th Sprint/ Fever. Spring fever is another name for biliousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels mean a poisoned system. If neglected, serious sickness may follow such symptoms. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers remove all danger by stimulating the liver, opening the bowels and cleansing the system of impurities. Safe pills. Never gripe. “I have taken DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for torpid liver every spring for years,” writes R. M. Everly, Moundsville, W. Va. “Theydo me more good than anything I have ever tried.” A. F. Long.

Marriage Licenses. Greenburg Lewis and Bertha A. Hopkins. William Reck and Etta Donnelly. Ira O. Dowell and Pearl Parker. Pearl Davis and Mabel Caster. Harry B. Smythe and Susie B. Kessinger. Ready to Yield. “I used DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve for piles and found it a certain cure,” says S. R. Meredith, Willow Grove, Del. Operations unnecessary to cure piles. They always yield to DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Cures skin diseases, all kinds of wounds. Accept no counterfeits. A. F. Long.

Happy Time in Old Town. “We felt very happy,” writes R. N. Bevill, Old Town, Va , ‘‘when Bucklen’s Arnica Salve wholly cured our daughter of a bad case of scald head.” It delights all who use it for cuts, corns, burns, bruises, boils, ulcers, eruptions. Infallible for piles. Only 25c at A. F.Long’s drug store.

As an evidence that the public schools are producing statesmen rapidly we give the following composition on “Hens,” written by a young student: “Hens is curious animals. They don’t have no nose, nor no teeth, nor no ears. They swaller their vittles whole, and chew it up in their crops inside of ’em. The outside of hens is generally put into pillers and feather dusters. The inside of a hen is sometimes filled with marbles and shirt buttons and sich. A hen is very much smaller than a good many other animals, but they’ll dig up more tomato plants than anything that ain’t a hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum pudding. Betcher life I like plum pudding. Skinney Bates eat so much plum pudding once that it set him into collery. Hens has got wings, and can fly when they are scart. I cut my Uncle William’s hen’s neck off with a hatchet and it scart her to death. Hens sometimes make very fine spring chickens.”

Saved From An Awful Fate. “Everybody said I had consumption”, writes Mrs. A. M. Shields, of Chambersburg, Pa. “I was so low after six months of severe sickness, caused by Hay Fever and Asthma, that few thought I could get well, but I learned of the marvelous merit of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, used it and was completely cured.” For desperate Throat and Lung Diseases it is the safest cure in the world, and is infallible for Coughs, Colds and Bronchial Affections. Guaranteed bottles 50c and SI.OO. Trial bottles free at A. F. Long’s drug store.

We have addsd a complete line of buggy dusters, fly sheets, and buggy harness pads. W. R. Lee, McCoysburg. Little Jimmie Warner, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. P.. Warner, while playing in a buggy Tuesday fell from it, breaking his arm and spraining his wrist. The civil suit of Nancy E. Yeoman vs. Everett Halstead was tried before Squire Churchill Tuesday and was decided in favor of the defendant. When you say “oil” Lee, the McCoysburg hardware man, is right in the deal. He has anything and everythink that you can want along the oil line. We have’over stocked in oil and gasoline stoves and are anxious to reduce our line. Hence will sell either kind on a close margin for the next 30 days. W. R. Lee, McCoysburg. S. E. Yeoman represents the Hooker, Wyman & Co. nursery, of Rochester, N. Y., one of the best nurseries in the east. He is now taking orders for fall delivery. All stock is guaranteed and stock dying will be replaced free of charge. Henry M. Shipman, perhaps the largest strawberry raiser in this vicinity, reports that notwithstanding the bad berry year, that his crop this year was larger than that of last year by 400 quarts. He marketed 4,700 quarts this year at an average price of 8| cents per quart. Last year his crop amounted to 4,300 quarts. Joseph Broadhead, Blue Mound, 111. after having given Bailey’s Laxative Tablets a good thorough trial says they are the best thing for constipation and liver troubles. They clean out the sewers of the body, purifying the blood and invigorating the system. Pleasant and effective. Price 10 and 25 cents at A. F. Long’s. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Robinson, of Lamar, Col., are visiting relatives here. This is Mr. Robinson’s first visit since moving to the west over two years ago. He reports business booming in Lamar. T. J. Sayler, who moved to Lamar from Rensselaer some months ago, is in the seed and hay business and is doing a large business, even importing seed to Europe. Mrs. Viola Thornton entertained about thirty of her W. R. 0. friends at dinner June 17th. Out of town guests were Mrs. Caldwell and Mrs. Merry, of Mt. Ayr; Mrs. Gwin and Mrs. Crockett, of Pleasant Ridge. In the afternoon the Penny club came and swelled the number to forty. Ice cream and cake were served by the hostess. Quite a painful accident happened to little Jimmie Warner by the breaking of his arm. Aside from this all report a very enjoyable time. 1
