The statement previously circulated that there was no scarlet fever in the neighborhood until after Mr. and Mrs. David Alter went there, was erronious, as many cases existed in the neighborhood, and the twins were. \ sick when they reached there. TUESDAY. W/St-Aufetin is at Frankfort, today. Miss Ura McGowan is spending • today and Sunday with Mia's Stella Shields of Monon. Mrs. John McColly and children are spending the day at Fair Oaks with her parents. Miss Pearl Hollister is spending this week with friends in Remington and Goodland. Mrs. C. \V.

pays §1,400 for the property and agreed to permit Air. Alaloy to move off the residence or Air. Nowels will build him another, just like it. Air. Alaloy has chosen the latter, and is now digging a cellar for the new house, on his lots in Weston’s Addition, not far from Air. Nowels’ residence. It is Air. Nowels’ intention to erect a business building on the Main street front, just purchased of Air. Alaloy. A planing mill in Rensselaer during the last year or two has grown to be such a great convience as almost to be an indispensible necessity, and it is therefore much to be hoped that Air., Babcock will either rebuild his, recently destroyed by fire, or if, as is very *probablethe magnitude of his grain business is such as to deter him from again engaging in the woodworking business, then it is to be hoped that some other party will take hold of the matter. In fact,it is understood that Frank Osborne, who built and installed the mill just burned, is considering the matter, and will secure ground and put up a planing mill early this season, if yiir citizens give him the encouragement the enterprise deserves.

It is frequently urged as a sufficient reason for doing nothing to secure the electric railrord, that its projectors are building it with “wind.” Well, lots of railroads are built on wind, and they help as much when you get them and hurt as bad when you lose them as railroads built any other way. Harry Crarwford built all his railroads on wind, and the Coal Road was one of them. Rensselaer people know now how much they missed in not securing that wind-built railroad. It makes little if any difference with the final value of a railroad, whether its original projectors themselves furnish the money to build it, themselves, or whether they secure it from others by the strength of nerve and. “wind.” Of course the electric railroad may never be built, but there is certainly considerable prospect that it will, and that prospect is more than sufficient to fully justify our people in making every reasonable effort to secure, if it is built. A general meeting in the interest of the road is to be held at Monticello the 26th of this month, and not only ought Jasper county to be well represented, but we ought to have the fund for the survey larger than it is, and something more done to secure pledges for the right of way.

A Iteniarkabks Cure. Mr. Alexander Moore, n reliable business man, of 1230 S. 13th St., Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I contracted a violent cold which settled all over me. ' The pain in my chest and aide was excruci ating. The doctor gave me medicine and blistered iny side, but I only grew worse. Then you gave me a bottle of Brazilian Balm. I had little or no faith in it, but decided to try it. I took 3or 4 good doses before bed time, and rubbed it well over my blistered side. That night I slept like a top—my first good rest for over a week —and awoke in the morning cured. Brazilian Balm is simply ijiyjhiable.” q
