“SHE” AND HER BABY.

low‘the Little Helpless Waif Gets Much I Attention. I Hot weather is the season when 1 lie mxious young mother is full of details Kout the management of the baby, the leth cutting, the diet, the air, the e.vr■se. It is then that the erstwhile giddy loung woman displays her latent woman-. K feeling and s!;ow3 how one touch of naKre him s the whole world kin. What* ■eKsummer resort the young mother ■ihtemplales it is the welfare of the baby Kat is the guidin.ir incentive and considKation. The inieiiigculyoungmotheracBaaints herself with all the lore of infant Nourishment. and prides herself <.n her ■nowledge of sanitation, and sometimes lakes an especial boast that she eschews ■arcgoric and that her baby sleeps with■it narcotics. While the society columns Frrate the frolics and festivities in which Ke pleasure-seekers at lake, mountain, or Ha forget the heat and dust of the cities, He ever new and ever old watch and Hard of the young mothers, fashionable or Hifashionabie, goes on, and the babies are Hade secure as far as natural love can Fard them from harm. This does not Fid a place in the society columns, but ■thout it society would indeed be a whited Fpulcbre. The young mother is more Fteresting and attractive than the bloom Fg damsel who is chiefly engrossed in Krself. Maternity reveals woman to ■rself and to man.

A Remarkable Darky.

[At Helena, Ark., there is a wonderful ttored man named Mack Hamilton, who s been making a show of himself on the leets of that town. Some of his feats Insist of eating large quantities of porceIn and glass without any deleterious es pts. His appetite is always in good or k and for a dime lie will eat enough U nvince the most skeptical that tijere 1; | trick about it. He also drinks as much la gallon of water at a tjme, and then lib a motion of his right arm-such a ption gs is eiven to the handfefof a pump lien pumping—the water comes out of b mouth in a stream as clear as when Kt swallowed. He also is able to drink fling water and eject it by means of this Imp-like process, and when it is emitted lis hot enough to scald. He swallows |e frogs and small snakes, and by a sime motion of his arm they are forced out Ibis mouth. He hasdraiik„a half-gallon ■whisky without teeling the slightest in nvenience. He has had some splendid lers from different people to go in, in Iw, but he prefers to be his own master. I has a dread that some doctor will kill ■i for the purpose of making an exami lion of him.

“Woodlte,” a Valuable Material.

■Tie material known as woodite, devised ■ Mrs. Wood, a clever Englishwoman, Knises to become a very useful sub Fee. Its chief ingredisnt is caoutchouc. Fing the past few months it has given Fl results for a variety of purposes, and Fow declared to be especially adapted Fany other uses. According to Sir EdFfijleed, M. P., it has been produced in Frs forms, such as fine sheets and rib ■s for water-proof articles, dense blocks ■ resisting the blows of shot or slieli, M very satisfactory rings for engine■king One process converts it into an ■tic, sponge like substance; and another Frhich it is mixed with whalebone cutFs. gives it a rough or frictional qualiKir mats. Some curious naval npplicu■s have been worked out. It is made F armor plates, which on being pene Fed by a shot closes so lightly that-no ■er is admitted, and it is also formed F light and convenient cylinders for Fyiuir compressed air to drive life bout-. Fedo-boats and scout-boats, while,it is Fable for making floating or partly Fing cables for protection against lorFo attacks, etc.

Fne of the girls in fashionable society Few York made up her mind to get Fried the other day, and after confiding ■ intention to her father, she said: Flint do you intend to do for me?” The ■er was a wealthy man, and thought ■he was showing a liberal spirit when ■nswered: j “Well, I will give you ■I,OOO to buy a house and $25,00(1 to ■ish it with.” “And what will you ■me to live on ?” the young lady de■ded, with a dissatisfied look on her H.

HANGING GROVE. Book agents and peddlers disturb the peaceful solitude of farm life. The young folks enjoyed a very pleasant social and dance at the residence of Fred Zard, Christmas evening. New Year’s dinners and festivals were quite numerous. Mrs. L. H. Potts and Mrs. Lizzie Burns spent a' pleasant week in Hancock county, visiting their uncle. J. P. Overton is making a visit to his old home in Rush Co. He will also visit in Crawfordsville, Lafayette and Battle Ground during his absence. Master Seib Pride of Monon, and Miss Lillie Rishling and Master Ora Cool, the deaf mutes attending school at Indianapolis, all spent holidays with their parents and friends at home. James Hammerton and son visited the former’s brother Elias, last week, and Grandpa Hammerton returned with them to their home in Illinois. Otis Jacks has returned home from a three week’s visit with his grandfather, William Pride, of Knightstown.

A series of young folks prayer meetings commenced, last Suesday night. J acob Parker lost considerabl e meat last Thursday night. It is not a general supposition that the meat walked off without help and the person who committed the theft had better be careful in the future, for such rascality will not be endured. The schools that dismissed for holidays have all resumed work. Old Santa Claus visited all the schools in our township, much to the delight of the youngsters 1 . The protracted meeting at the Dixie school house, conducted by Sister Kate Leebrick closed last Monday night. A very great number of converts is the result of the fruitful labors of this untireing and Christ loving evangelist. Dick Windy,

FJiOAf BLACKFORD. Theo. Hurley intends going to (Chicago to purchase the carpets and lamps for the Rose Bud church. The dedication at the Rose Bud church was largely attended. Mr. J. U. Iliff, of Remington, spent Christmas in Blackford. fc ' Vacation last week with all the schools. Miss Inez Walker, who had a severe attack of the measles, began teaching again last Monday. Several new patients with measles; all are getting along well. The funeral services of the infant son of Frank Goff were held last Friday. A crowd of loafers left Blackford last Saturday evening to attend a dance at Moonshine. Some of the yonng lads found the Moonshiners were their equals when it came to knocking. It seems that Sherman Cooper was badly done up by Pleas. Gant, and some of the others came home with black eyes and skinned cheeks. Wm. Hurley has moved to the Blackford vicinity. Miss Jlose McGinnis, of Westville, is visiting in this place. Misses Clara and Rosa Nickelson are visiting friends in Goodland. Services at Brushwood every Sunday evening. Mrs. John Lewis is on The sick list. ■* » Milo.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The somnolent little town of Brookston is elated beyond measure because it has been the scene of a regular prize fight, “Markus of Queensberry rules’’ and all the accessories. As the Reporter says, it was the event of a life-tiine.' The parties were Dick Keating, of Lafayette and Ed B. White, of Fort Wayne. They plugged away at one another until the ninth round, when the Fort Wayne tough happened to hit the Lafayette hard citizen one real hard blow on the latter’s bullet head, with the result that White knocked his right “thum” and one finger out of joint and was obliged to “throw up the sponge.” The moral of this result is, that in a scrub prize fight the man who stands still and lets the other fellow knock his fingers out of joint is the chap that wins the battle. The stakes in this fight ;were SIOO a side and the gate\ money. The mjll took place in ariarge barn, belonging to one Moore, on the outskirts of Brookston; As announced in October, the Baptist State Evangelist, Rev, A. Hill, will assist the Pastor of the Missionary Baptist Church in a series of meetings beginnings Monday evening, Jan. 7, Mr. Hill’s work is characterized by an entire absence of sensational clap-trap; and persons who appreciate a discourse which combines earnestness, simplicity and strong common sense, will find pies sure and profit in attending these services. His sermons have proved unusually acceptable to practical men in business and in the professions. These meetings are designed for the moral good of the community; and we most cordially invite and solicit a general attendance of the people. \ U. M. McGuire, Pastor.

On last Tuesday Dr. J. G. Davis chief surgeon of the L. N .A. & C. railway, was at Crawfordsville, seeing about the scheme of establishing a hospital at that point. The other place making an effort to secure it is Bloomington, where about S4OOO is offered the company for the hospital. But it seems that Crawfordsville is preferable of the two places, and if the ground is donated, the company will erect the building, which will cost about $20,000. The building will be of brick, with stone finish, heated by steam and lighted by gas and electricity. The hospital will be for any persons injured, whether they are railroaders ot not. From fifty-ibven counties the State Statistican has returns concerning the business of last year in various courts. Making his estimate upon these returns as to counties not reporting, he shows civil cases, 24,902; criminal cases, 8,100; indictments returned, 6,935; convictions, 2,168; executions, 8301; foreclosure decrees, 2,258. Comparing these figures with those for 1887, it is shown that the increase of judicial business w»s as follows: Civil cases begun, 1,539; criminal cases, 347; indictments, 719; convictions, 225. In executions issued there was a decrease of 79, and and m foreclosure decrees 113. The Republican wants a correspondent in every town and neighborhood of the county, from which a weekly budget may be obtained. Those who are already acting as correspondents are requested to be regular in their contributions, so that their localities will be properly represented in onr columns. Send communications so that they will reach the office not later than Tuesday evening and as much earlier as possible. An occurrence of unusual importance should be forwarded by special report.

The Bucklin Journal is a new paper just started at Bucklin, Kansas. The second number contains the big, double column adof the Enterprise Investment Company, proprietors of the town site of Bucklin. A. E. Coen is president of the company and E. L. Coen secretary, both former residents of Rensselaer. 8. 8. Calvin, well known to many people in this Vicinity, is treasurer. The town already has two railroads and another in near prospect, and altogether it appears to have a very promising future. According to the State Board of Health’s figures, there have been 18,195 marriages, 35,471 births, and 16,821 deaths in the state during the last year. This is a decrease of 777 in the number of births, and increase of 640 deaths and 1,252 marriages over 1887. This information, however, is not reliable, as the birth and death returns are not required of physicians in many sections of the State. About 50 per cent, of the deaths are reported. The marriage returns may be regarded as quite complete, however.

According to the returns as counted, Cleveland had a plurality ifi Virginia of 1,635; in West Virginia of 839 and in Connecticut of 336, making together 2,714. There is no doubt that Harrison carried both Virginias and that the returns were doctored to give those states to r Cleveland, Yet with all the frauds, a change of less than 1,400 votes would have given the electoral votes of the three States to General Harrison, aggregating twenty-four additional electoral votes. —Indianapolis Journal. \ a .t • All persons knbwing themselves to be indebted to the firm of N. Warner & Sons, or having good reasons for suspecting themselves to be in that condition, are requested to call around and liquidate such indebtedness, forthwith, at once and immediately. It is now past the First of January and the promised settlements must now be made. “We need it in our business,” N. Warner & Son.

The Pen and the Pup.

A new fountain penholder, with gold pen inside, and a spotted pointer pup (also new) are Hissing from among the belongings of The Republican office this week. They are not supposed to have gone away together, but any person returning them both, at one and the some time, may keep the pup for his trouble, and no questions asked. Foi the return of the pen without the pup we will give a reward of 50 cents, for .the pup without the pen we will give the “Devil’s” choicest blessings.

JOHN W. KING. f£e Main Street Grocer e '" : Respectfully rises to remark that he can now be found, at all times, at his Grocery Store, near the depot, with a complete line of first class goods, such as are usually kept in a first class grocery store; and which he will be pleased to offer to his many customers and friends, at almost cost price, for the next 30 days. A few reasons why he can sell groceries cheaper than his competitors: Living near depot his drayage costa but little; owning his own buildings, his rent costs nothing; doing his own work, his help costs nothing. But the greatest reason for all is from the fact that he sells strictly for cash. Those reasons, as well as some others, enable him to sell goods cheaper* l than those who sell on time. Call and let him prove the truth of what he has stated. 2t. Shiloh’s cough and consumption cure is sold by us on a guarantee. It cures consumption. Long & Eger.
