The Best is the Cheapest.

A few days ago a farmer made tbe remark that “stock food was alright to feed if yonr horse was sick or oat of condition bat what is the ase to feed it to a well horse?” That same farmer said he had fed some kind of “stock food” bat had an idea that if yon quit feeding the food the animal woald drop back to his former condition. . Any “stock food” that contains I black antimony, arsenic or strong pepper will no dodbt prodace the revolt of whloh this farmer spoke. ! , The Acme Food 00. of Chicago, have 'for years guaranteed that sach a resalt will not be the case by feeding Acme Food. Horses have been taken in bad condition, fed on Aome Food for months, and while in the best of condition, Acme Food suddenly was not fed any more. Yet there was no falling off in the condition of the horse. Acme Food contains no poison. It is not a medicine. Not a hog cholera care. Not a stimulant. It contains barks and roots that animals in their wild native state, banted and ate. It is something any well animal needs, for in connection with corn and oats it forms a balanced ration, patting the entire digestive apparatus in perfeot condition, keeping the blood pore and all the excretory organs active. There are scores of so-called stock foods on the market at all kinds of prices. There is only one Acme Food. Acme Food has stood the test of time. In one lowa county alone eight years , ago one car load of food was sold. Last year more than 10 car loads were sold to feeders in the same oounty. The question “does it pay to feed?” is well answered by the two hundred and twenty prize winners at the Ghioago fat stock show in November, 1902. They were fed on Acme Food.

What's in a Name?

Everything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. 0. DeWitt & 0o M of Chicago, discovered some years ago, how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, barns, braises and all skin diseases, DeWitt’s Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits. Ask for DeWitt’s—the genuine. Long’s Drug Store. See or telephone Joe Jackson, the busman, when you want to go any plane. Prompt attention given to all calls. Day or night.

INDIANA NEWS.

Items of Interest Oathered From All Parts of the State. The business men of Warsaw have lately organized an association and have adopted a constitution and bylaws. They are going after improvements in a systematic manner. Miss Ella Burgess, of Bourbon, has gone on a trip of 500 miles to meet and marry her sweetheart. She has’ gone to Chattanooga, and will marry Wijliam Raeer, a bottle blower. If was necessary that she secure the marriage license, since her home is in Blackford county, and she might have difficulty in getting a license at once in Tennessee. She did not care to take chances on the wedding being a failure after shfe reached that state. A. F. Norton, who bought the Lancaster general store at Converse, a short time ago, has disposed of the stock of cigars and tobacco. He says he has conscientious samples against the sale of tobacco. He expects to ran the store “as Christ would run it.” Mr. Norton will sell for cash, will pay his clerks at the elose of each day, and will noc deliver goods. Under no oiroumstances will the store be open on Sunday and it will dose every evening at 6 o’clock. Pearl Hosier, of Kokomo, was attacked by William Colvin and may die of his injuries. He went to Colvin’s home to call on Colvin’s sister, Mabel Colvin, and was greeted by a briok, which Colvin threw from the door, and which struck Hosier on the head. His skull was fractured, and physicians say he can not live. Hosier had been calling on his sweetheart for several years, and Sunday night Colvin told him that if he came hock again without a marriage license, he woald kill the suitor. When Hosier knocked at the door last night, Colvin shouted: “Got that license?” Hosier started to explain, bat the briok cat short his words.

It is reported that hog cholera has made its appearance in some localities in Fulton county. This disease has caused more loses in raising swine than anything else and is always dreaded. No sure cure or prevention has ever been found and about the only thing to do is to separate the affected from the healthy ones and maintain extreme cleanliness. Farmers in the oentral part of this state who have had to deal with this plague have been dipping hogs in the same manner that sheep are. The material used in the dip may be any of the solutions used in dipping sheep. This is not only a remedy tor cholera but other diseases and has proved efficacious in many cases. Caroline Rich, a widow at Elkhart, thought she needed a husband and married Wm. Barnes, a veteran of the civil war. Mrs. Rioh raised three hundred chickens and built all ot the coops for the fowls, yet she wanted something more. Her acquaintance with Mr. Barnes was short. The old fellow stayed with her awhile and then skipped. When we take into our thoughts that Mrs. Rich was worth $72,000 It seems as though the old man ought to have held the fort—but he didn’t. He would rather be alone than to have the widow and her money. A divorce will follow.

A Worthy Charity.

By reason of crop failures last year in a land that at best is unable to fhr> nish a proper support to its people the peasant olass of Finland are in great distress and hardship. Many have already died from aotnal distress and hardship. Many have already died from aotnal starvation or by reason of the laok of the proper kind of food when siok, and thousands of others must inevitably perish before their own land oan furnish relief, unless that relief is ftumished by lands that are more favored. No oonntry in the world is better able to famish that help than ours, and we believe none is more willing. We therefore call upon the people of Rensselaer and Jasper county to do something to help these suffering people. Contributions of any amount, however small, will be gladly received and will be forwarded through the proper ohannel to seenre the least delay possible. But remember that a large contribution will do more good than a wmall one. The various banks of Rensselaer have consented to receive these contributions. A. Golden Wobk. T. A. Hall. J. A. Cochran. O. D. Royse.

The April Designer.

Easter is made the keynote of The Designer for April, not only in the fashions and millinery, but in the general reading matter and illustrations. Among the articles of espeolal note are “Easter Lilies” by Waldon Fawcett, “How Some Bachelor Maids Keep House” by Mary Kilsyth, and “Types of Childhood” by Dr. Sarah A. French-Battey. “A Lily Maid” by Martha McOulloch-Williams. “An Afternoon with the Doctor” by Bertha B. Green, and “Adriel and the RainDeer” by Vincent Van Marter Beede supply the fiction, and obarming spring-time poems are contributed by Theodosia Garrison, Harvey Peake, Blanche Allyn Bane and B. A. Hitchcock. “Lace and Embroidery” is the department which will most interest the fancy worker, while those in search for appropriate entertainments for the season will avail themselves of “Easter Egg Parties” by Mary Dawson, and “An April Fool Party” by Mary Dowe Bnzzelie. “Book Notes” criticises in a frank and interesting way the latest literature, and “Fashions and Fabrics” describes and illustrates the newest fabrics, trimmings and novelties. The regular departments of “What Women are Doing,” “Helps Along the Way,” “Toilet Table Chat,” “In Motherland,” “Floriculture,” “Etiquette Hints,” and the “Kitchen Kingdom” are brimful of interesting and valuable suggestions. The subject of confirmation toilettes is made a special feature aside from the regular fashion department, and “Points on Dressmaking” and “Lessons in Millinery” occupy their nsnal space.

FIVE PER CENT FARM LOANS.

One Per Cent Commission. W. B. Austin, Rensselaer, has a special frtnd to loan at 5 per cent interest and one per cent commission. No delay. <

TWENTX-SIX YEARS AGO.

A Rensselaer Paper of That Time Furnishes Some Interesting Items. A subscriber hands ns a copy of the Rensselaer Union dated February 22, 1877, twenty-six years ago. Among the advertisers, the only ones who are still in business nnder the old firm names are 0. 0. Starr and J. J. Eiglesbaoh. Under the head of professional oards are the names ofDrs. G. A. Moss, J. H. Loughridge, Moses B. Alter and R. Y. Martin, all of whom have passed away. In those days Rensselaer had two tailor shops, one more than it has at tbe present day. The proprietors were N. R. Bowman and John Zimmerman. The latter still lives here but has been succeeded in business by his son, B. K. Zimmerman. The law firms of that time were M. F. Uhilcote, Thompson & Bro., R. S. &Z. Dwlggins, and Frank W. Baboook. A. AfoOoy & Thompson were the bankers. Samp. Erwin, Shindler & Roberts and Leslie Grant were tbe proprietors of blacksmith shops on Front street. J. Austin ran Austin’s Hotel and R. J. Hopkins the Hopkins House. Lonis Kern ran a grocery store in the old Liberal corner, whloh was torn down last year. Ralph Fendlg sold groceries, dry goods and olothing as well as saleratns, soap, etc. Tntenrs ran the New Centennial Store, and sold tobaoco, cigars, sardines, notions, eto. John Coen was the proprietor of the Rensselaer Nnrsery. Warner manufactured wagons

carriages and baggies, and ran a first class hardware store, and also a harness shop. J. 8. Wigmore was the Jeweler of those days. About that time A. Leopold laid oat his addition to Rensselaer. Many of the lots are still on the market as originally platted. Thomas Burroughs had the agenoy for the sale of 246 of these lots and also had money to loan, E. T. Harding & Son sold groceries, notions and newspapers, and were enabled to supply the Chicago papers on the evening, of the day of publication. J. W. Duvall was proprietor of a livery stable and ran a daily, except Sunday, hack line between Rensselaer and Franoesville, there being no railroad here at that time. Willey & Sigler and A. Leopold were large general merchandise dealers at that time. Leopold's store was in the old stone building formerly located on Washington street. Charlie Platt had charge of the grocery department. F. Sears & Co. were also in the merchantile business at that time. David Jones sold farm implements and clocks. Bass & 00. made boots and shoes to order. Those that are claiming that Uncle Jimmy MoEwin, the editor of the Sentinel, came here before the flood, are mistaken, as the following notloe of the establishment of the Sentinel in Rensselaer will show:

The Democratic Sentinel made its introductory appearance in Rensselaer last week. n *s e in T dicatC8 * 11 ia democratic in politics. Mr. James W. McEwen, late of Monhcello, where for many years he was engaged in publishing the Constitutionalist, is proprietor and e«Stor. The Democratic Sentinel is an eight column folio in size, and the subscription price is only si.eo a year. $i for six months, 50 cents for three months. For several years the democracy of Jasper county have desired a local newspaper to reprtil W, faith t and » i« expected Aey will give this journal a liberal pannage. Mr. McEwen is a quiet, well disposed, lTwabiding gentieman, of unblemished character and will take rank among the best citizens ol Jasper county. We extend a kind, fraternal welcome to him and his enterprise and wish him pecuniary success. The Union was a six oolumn quarto published by Horaoe E. James and Mervin O. Oissel. James is now living at Hammond and Oissel is in the newspaper business in a western state. The subscription price of the Union was |2 per year. Muoh of the type used in printing the Union is still in use on the Rensselaer Republican, whioh succeeded the Union a few years later.

The Delineator for April.

The April Delineator presents the usual up-to-date display of fashions and a delightful collection of literary features. In flotion there are two fine short stories: A Heathen Virtue, a tale of Virginia in Colonial days, written by Martha MoOulloehWilllams, and illustrated by George Gibbs; and the Shoot-up at Laramie Camp, a breezy story of the plains by Minna O. Smith, with piotures by Harry Staoey Benton. In Thyra Varrick, Mrs. Barr's powerful story, the Interest is splendidly sustained, although the end of the serial is near. The first of N. Hudson Moore’s papers on flowers is given with beautiful illustrations, and a novel cookery series by Miles Bradford begins w{th An International Dinner. There is a page of exclusive photographs of Mary Mannering, the popular aotress. An Out-of-town House, of moderate oost and of especially attractive interior arrangements, is described and illustrated, and of further interest to the home is Dr. Graoe Peokbam Murray’s article on Heating and Ventilation. In Miladi, Olara E. Laughlin disousses the servioe problem, and Mrs. Birney presents a thoughtful paper on Childhood. The departments: The Newest Books, Social Observances, Housefhrnlsblng, The Kitchen, etc., are all interesting and helpful.

A Boy’s Wild Ride For Life.

With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life, 18 miles, to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H. Brown, of Leesville,lnd., endured death’s agonies from asthma; but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him. He writes: “I now sleep soundly every night.” ( Like marvelous onres of Consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Grip prove its matohless merit for all Throat and Lung troubles.
