G7Steketee,‘Grand Rapids, Mich., Dear Sir:—lf neuralgia was ever hereditary, it yas in my father's f ami ly. My mother was afflicted with tt as long ago as I oau well remember, and I, in common with the other members of her family, was a martyr to its tortures in its most acute form. Night after night in spite of opie tes given to ease the pain have I passed, sitting up or walking the floor of my room in such pain as only sufferers from this terrible disease know. At length I procured a bottle of your "drgps," ■ took a few doses, which relieved me and quit. In about a week the disease returned. 1 then resolved to follow directions faithfully and given it a fair trial. I did so and to tpy inexpressible relief and happiness have nqt had a single twinge ot it since, and that was three years ago. Other members of our family have also used it with the mosthappy result#, would not like to say that it will cure every one, but It did ine; and I earnestly advise every one suffering from the disease to give it a thorough trial, and be sure to take it according to directions. . Respectfully yours, J. w. Nicholson, Register Deeds, Lake Co., Mich. Price 50 cents per bottle, 3 bottles on receipt of 81.50, express paid. P. S.—Trial bottle sent or receipt of 12 cents in U.

County Correspondence.

JFKST CARPENTER. Oats was considerably damaged by the rain pf last week Five ana three-tenths inches in twelve hours, was our rain-fall last Wednesday. Reliable reports give over, ten inches of* rain about Kentland. Charley Altej, jvho was so badly hurt by a horee jqok, Je recovering. Mrs. Bloomer, yvho ]ias been an invalid for two years,'is a little better. Myrt Price, like many others that have property in the West, thinks Kansas is the place to live. But we have our doubts whether any of them have found the spot whence Adam and Eve were kicked out.. We learn that our reliable grain man, Charley Hartley, was somewhat worsted by the recent fall in the price of corn. John.

MILROY.

Pleasant growing showers. Health is generally good, with the exception of Phenie Suttoq, daughter of James Sutton, who is suffering from throat trouble, and Jas. Lefler’s little child is also very sick. The citizens of Milroy met at the appointed time on last Saturday afternoon and moored the grass off their grave yard. Mrs. Abram Oosley has erected a splendid tomb-stone to the memory of her husband, which adds greatly to the appearance of the grave yard. Frank Coghill has completed the painting of Alva Clark’s house. The reason why Milroy did not rank with the other townships, in teachers and is marked “0” is boxcause she has been reading the wrong text-book, for the last ten years. Our Sabbath school at Center had a large crowd in attendance last Sunday. Miss Carrie Welsh, last winter’s teacher, was among tjie visitors. Old Uncle Peter Foulks has the best corn in J asper county. Hurrah for Harrison! He holds a hand of four aces. Hurrah (?) for Cleveland! He holds a bobtail flush.

HOGAN AND WALKER. The nomination of Gen. Harrison makes every Republican rejoice to think that their votes will not be lost this fall. The citizens of West Walker who own land along or near what is known as the Lewark flitch, have met at Hogan and resolved to clear the ditch, regardless of cost. They are eight in number, and the estimate is seven days eaph with team, all to-be done by October 1. Harvesting has commenced in good shape. , We congratulate Bro. Hershman upon that good pension. The Republicans of Walker met at Hogan last Saturday, and organized a Lincoln League club. A runaway on Friday evening, which might have resulted in a serious way, passed off with little damage. The wild Arabian charger, belonging to a resident of Moonshine, became frightened when hear Isaac Sell’s house, and dashed through the front yard, round the hduse, through the fence over the water trough, and leaving the buggy, dashed under the clothes line, spreading the clothes in all directions, but doing no other damage. Luckily, two small children, who were playing on the same spot about two minutes before, had just stepped into the house for a drink. The musquitos are large and numerous. Some of them get on the trees and bark when the people qj'e passing. Many of them will weigh a pound. Walkerite.

REMINGTON ITEMS: Mrs. John K. Shaw, of Duluth, Minn., will return to her home on Thursday, accompanied by Mrs. John Ford, who will spend five or six weeks in the cool latitude of the northern lakes. * Mies Anna Draper left for Englewood, 111., last Monday, where she will act in the capacity of cashier in the store of our former successful merchant, Mr. J. E. Stiller. L. W. Bartlett is quite sick. His wife has lately recovered from a sickness of twelve week’s duraMrs. Williams, of Kansas, who has been spending the past two weeks with her sister, Mrs. James Sheetz, left on Monday lastdra were married on Sunday morning last, at tbe home of the bridegroom's parents, by Elder Short-

ridgp, of the Disciples church. If 31ive to be an old ooupla they spend a long time together, as are now both quite young.

Among those who will take part may be mentioned Mrs. M. Solomon, of pubuqpe, lowa, Mrs. "Runyan, of Cincinnati, and her sister, Miss Pearl Walker, Mrs. Will Shepard, Mrs. Z. K. Smith and Miss Fannie Patton. ‘

REMINGTONIAN.

A Rousing Ratification.

The meeting at the Court|House last Saturday evening furnished conclusive evidence of the great satisfaction with which the nomination of General Harrison is everywhere received. The court room was crowded to the limit of its seating capacity, and the joy and enthusiasm of the Republican portion of the audience was universal and manifest io all. Short but ringing speeches iyere made by 8. P. Thompson, W- B. Austin, I. B. Washburn, Allred Thompson, Frank Foltz, AV. H. Gwin, Chas. Platt, W. W. Watson E. P. Hammond. Several p atpotic son gs interspersed amon g the speeches, were greatly enjoyed. The meeting lasted until nearly eleven o’clock, and even then the people were almost loth to depart so greatly were they in sympathy with the spirit of the occasion.

The Town Board.

The Town Board, at its meeting Monday night, condemned the side-walk along the north side of Washington street, from Halloran’s corner to Cullen street The side-walk on Division and Main streets, fyoqi Judge Hammond’s residence fp the depot, was also condemned. Dr. Victor Loughridge was elected town health officer, at a salary of S2O per year. The rules and regulations recently adopted by the fire company, were legalized by the IJoard. Councilman Rhoades and Fire Chief Honan were appointed a committee to procure another tearing down hook, also morp fire buckets and another truck upon which to carry the extra barrel of extinguishing fluid. The salaries of the tqwu officers were allowed, at the rates fixed at tjie beginning of the official year.

J. F. WABBEN,

Continued Depredations of the £ang of Criminals in Our MidstTo the long list of burglaries and attempted burglaries, and sneak thiei depredations that have been committed in Rensselaer during the Ipjst year or two, three more have been added since the last issue of the Republican. Qn Friday night the' house of Mrs. L. Tutuer was entered and ransacked, from top |o bottoiq' and a sum of money, we. amount of which js not exactly known, but probably from S3Q to SSO, v?as taken. This money was in a looked hand bag, which was cut oppn. Mrs. Tutuer and her two daughters were sleeping in the house, at the time, but this fact did not deter the thieves from making a very thorough search. Carpets were torn up, unoccupied beds turned upside down, and even the back of the organ i emoved, in the search for supposed hidden cash. Mrs. Tutuer is ordinarily a very Jight sleeper and she believes that all of this could not have been done unless she had been chloroformed. Other members of her family believe that this must •Eave been done and think that they detected the smell of the drug in the house, the next morning.

Access to the house was obtained by prying open a rear window, after first prying out the fly screen. second burglary above referred tp was committed Monday night. Rev. B. F. Ferguson’s house was entered, in about the same manner, and alsothororoughly ransacked. A fine gold watch, Mr. Ferguson’s property, and sl2 in cash, were taken. The pants from which the money was stolen were found in the yard, in the morning. . T|je third depredation was also committed Monday night. The butcher shop of Yeoman & Nicholson was entered from a rear window and considerable amount of meat stolen, including half of a veal and several large pieces of bacon.

A good many people have a pretty shrewd|idea as to the identity pf the villains who perpetrated these crimes. That they are residents of the town, thpre is little doubt. So far as known, however, no one is in possession of any facts which would legally establish tjje guilt of any person.

G. T. Green of the Childrens’ Home, Cincinnati, Ohio, will be at the Makeever House in Rensselaer after the 4 o’clock train Wodnesday afternoon, July 18th, 1888, with a company of boys and girls to place in good homes. The ages of the are from two to twelve years, and Mr. Green will remain part pf Thursday, should any be left’ the first afternoon. Conditions are fair to both parties and may be learned at this office, the Makeever House and of Geo. M. Robinson, auditor of the* county. ‘ Remember the date, Wednesday afternoon, July 18th, the place, the Makeever House.

Pearl Faris, daughter of John and Rachel Faris of Gillam tp., born November 24, 1884, died June 25, 1888, aged, three years and seven months. Funeral services were held at Independence Chapel. Rev. Sebring preached a very touching sermon, upon the “Glorious prospect of the Christian beyond the grave.” Many friends sympathize with the bereaved family over the loss of

th eir loved one.

A simple method of accurately cutting a bottle is to place it upon some leverfoundation and till it with linseed oil ,to the point at which you desire the line of separation to occur. Then take an iron rod ot as great a diameter as will pass into the bottle, make it almost white hot and dip it into the oil. After the lapse of n few moments a sharp dfack te beard; ‘and* the bottle is found to be as neatly cut as If with a diamond. If the bottle be very thick, and the cracking sound not heard in a few seconds, aliltle cold water thrown on tlic outside will accomplish the desired result. ___________ imwmnjrpr Truss.—-" Wife—John, the new maid told me to Husband—What?
