Edward and Benjamin Smith, of Chicago, are visiting relatives in this city. Peter Giver has moved from the west part of town into J. M. Wasson’s house, in the east part. William Parks and family went to Remington this afternoon to visit a few days with relatives at that place. Mrs. N. H. Shepperd and son who have been visiting in South Bend for some time past returned home today. Mrs. E. M. Banes and children went to Monon this afternoon to Visit a few days with her father and mother at that place. J. F. Brown, of Aurora, 111, returned to that place today, after a visit with his cousin, Uncle Jesse Osborn and family, i He is the proprietor of a steam laundry at Aurora. A. B. Cowgill, who was suddenly called to Rosemond, 111., about ten days ago on account of his father’s Very dangerous sickness, returned home last night. He reports his father’s condition much improved. Mr. and Mrs. S. V. Fisher, the latter formerly Miss May Enslen, of Morocco, are visiting the latter’s relatives here for a whjle, Mr. Fisher has sold his barber shop at Morocco, on account of poor health.* He is looking for some vocation more agreeable to his health. And with that purpose will make a trip to the southern part of the state in a few days. The County Farmers’ Institute began at 9 o’clock this morning, in the east room of the court house. The attendance was fair for the opening session, and this afternoon the room is crowded. The principal lecturers, James Riley, of Thorntown, and J. A. McFarlin, of Plymouth, are both present and carrying out their shares of the program tn good shape. They are both practical and successful farmers end their remarks are full of valuable suggestions. Frank Osborne has been offered and has accepted a good position at Kirklin, this state, a good town on the Indianapolis divison of the Monon road. It is manager of a large retail lumber yard. Mr. Osborn will leave Monday, to superintend the erection of the sheds and will take charge of the yard as soon as the sheds are erected. Mr Osborne has had long experience as a lumber dealer and also as a builder and con-

Delicate Children They do not complain of anything in particular. They eat enough, but keep thin and pale. Th ey appear fairly well, but have no strength. You ' cannot say they are really sick, and so you call them delicate. What can be done for them ? Our answer is the same that the best physicians have been giving for a quarter of a century. Give them FmiilelAn bcoirs uiiuishhi of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. It has most Remarkable nourishing power. It gives color to the blood. It brings strength tp the muscles. It adds power to the nerves. It means robust health and vigor. Even delicate infants rapidly gain in flesh if given a small amount three or four times each day. cac and tr oo • aQ druggists

not well place their business in more competent hands. Mr. Osborn’s family will remain here until spring, and then join him at Kirklin. Thursday Boyd Callahan completed his year of detention in the Jasper county jail, and was set at liberty. He went from here to Monon for a short visit, after which he will return to Rose Lawn, Newton Co., and re-enter the service of the store for which he formerly worked. Callahan has been quite the “star boarder” at the jail during his stay, and has enjoyed a large degree of freedom. He has had the confidence of the sheriff in that respect and has proved worthy of such confidence. He was tried on a paternity charge and was sentenced to pay the usual damages in such cases, or to remain a year in jail. He always denied the justice of the and preferred to atav in jail rather than to pay what he was required to, to secure his freedom. Many persons believe that he was wrongly convicted in this case. ' SATURDAY. A son to Mr. and Mrs Charles Slaughter last evening, south of town. ' ’ Miss Bell, of Garden City Kas., is here visiting the family of, Austin Hopkins. Grandfather Cotton’s case is assuming a most serious nature, and he is now in a very critical condition. Mias Mary Eger has returned to her dressmaking business at Terre Haute, after a protracted visit with her parents here. ' ___ Bruce White and mother, Mrs. Joseph White, went v to Laporte this afternoon to attend the funeral of his uncle, Charles White. The fifth son, and the eight child, and a nine pounder at that, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis 8. Alter, in west Carpenter tp., on Sunday, Jan. Bth. Math. Steffgen, who lived south of town, has gone to Blue Island, 111., a Chicago suburb, where he has a situation and will remain permanently. Our townsman, C. C. Warner is well pleased at the election of Albert J. Beveridge as senatdr. Mr. Warner was a classmate of Senator Beveridge’s at DePauw University about 1884 and 1885. Mrs. Henry Harris and daughter, Miss Jennie Harris, left this forenoon for Los Angeles, California, where they will remain for several months. J. C. Harris went as far as Chicago with them. The Robt. H. Milroy Circle extends thanks to those who assisted in the program for their excellent music, and addresses, also for the liberal donations and aid given them for the Reception for Volunteers on Saturday evening. Mrs. Mary Sayler, Pres. Gurney Jessen, the veteran of the Evening Republican’s carrier force, who has been on his route ever since the daily was established over two years ago, has given up his job to accept a place in P. W. Clarke’s jewelry store. Gurney is a reliable, faithful and industrious boy, and has the qualities to make his way in the world. Charley Hunt, one of the two men who broke jail at Delphi a while back and whom the blood hounds followed 40 miles in a direction they didn’t go, as usual, has been re-captured. He was a light weight criminal however, and his escape was of little importance. Ward, suspected of being one of the Flora bank robbers has not been re-captured. » The Kentland Enterprise had quite a spasm because of the failure of a lecturer to reach that town, owing to a washout on the Monon. The washout occuringon the lower portion of the old line of the road, in that hilly and precipitous region, where no human vigilance can always succeed in preventing such occurences. The Enterprise vents its foolish spleen by abusing

rnw OfinffA Th a iq hrtw11 * - ever the Monon has grown to be one of the most progressive and best managed railroads in the country. It has some of the best and fastest trains, was one of the first roads in the country to adopt vestibuled trains, and the very first to build steel mail oars. Some of its fast passenger engines are recognized master-pieces of the locomotive builder’s art. Through Rensselaer it runs five fine passenger trains each way every day in the week. ' In contrast with this, the road on which Kentland is a way station, runs two trains each way every week day and one train on Sundays. . MONDAY. Alexander Leonard Co. Monday night, Jan. 16.

Martin went to Indianapolis today to visit her son Delaney who is a student at Vories business college, and other relatives. Al Kline is reported to be getting along fine and suffering no serious inconvenience from the pistol bullet he received last week from his brother John.—Brook Reporter. Geo. A. McDaniels, of Co. I. 161st regiment, left this afternoon, expecting to rejoin his regiment at Havana. His return here, on sick furlough, about a month ago, was mentioned at the time. He has been visiting his father, some 10 or 12 miles northeast of town, and his brother a few miles southeast Our correspondent who stated that Dr. Kannal was about to open a stock of drugs at Gifford, on Gifford’s new railroad, was mistaken. It is Dr. Kirk who is contemplating that movement. Sheriff Reed is having a good deal of trouble with a sore on his hand. His horse kicked him there several weeks ago, making a very large and bad sore, which now obstinately refuses to heal. J. F. Mitchell, of Chicago, rettfrned home Saturday night, after several days spent in this locality. He has long been owner of a farm in Jordan and was down making arrangements for extensively tiling the same. Mr. Mitchell is engaged in the interior decorating and paper hanging line, in Chicago.

BUTCHER GOWNS.

And Gowkx, Dusters, Couto uud Sleeve* in Varloui Oecuputiona. Butchers’ gowns, which are made of eotton and linen, come often in all white, sometimes in blue check, often in mar terial that is plaided off with lines on white ground. Sometimes the lines are all of the same color; sometimes lines of two or three different colore are woven into the fabric. There are many tasteful designs in the materials used for butcher gowns. Beef handlers wear usually a gown or duster made of a dark blue material, says the New York Bun. Fish dealers wear a duster or gown of blue check. Grocer’s dusters are made most commonly of blue linen, as are the dusters worn by druggists; they are sometimes made of a striped cotton material. The bartender wears a white duck coat, and there are white duck coats made f or barbers. There are aprons made in various styles, for butchers, bartenders, and others. Aprons are almost always white. Sleeves are sold for butchers made of white material, and also of material to match the gown. Straw cuffs are worn by many. Winter ulsters are made for butchers and others whose business or occupation may make them desirable. There are tailors who confine their attention to the making and selling of butcner anu oUier gowns, ousters and coats, and the aprons, sleeves and cuffs commonly worn with them.

"TEAR PITS” OF THE DEER.

Grounds for the Poets’ Claima That a Stu* Weeps. Both the poets and the prose writers of imaginative or contemplative turn of mind have often alluded to the tears shed by stags and other wounded creatures of the deer family, says the St. Louis Republic. Shakespeare put it in this way in describing the injured stag: The bis round tears Coursed one another down bis Innocent nose In piteous chase. There is, of course, more poetry than truth in these references to the actual shedding of tears by members of the deer family, yet it is a fact that such animals are provided with a curious set of organs, the action of which has given rise to the tear shedding belief. The organ in question is the lachrymal sinus or “tear pit,” which is situated just below each eye. 'lt is a kind of closed cavity, capable of being opened at the pleasure of its owner and which secretes a greasy, waxy fluid. When creatures provided with this curious organ get hurt or become enraged it has the effect of softening the waxy substance in the “tear pit.” When so softened, it escapes as tears would and flows down over the nose and face. The uses of this queer set of so-called lachrymal organs are not clearly understood by the zoologists.

AGREEABLY DISAPPOINTED.

He Thought She Wax Be*<ln*. But She Merely Wanted the Mustard. One of the richest men living, whose immense wealth makes him a target for poor people, has recently been in Paris end the way in which he repelled one of the applicants for his generosity is related like this, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch: On the opposite side of the hotel table sat a woman who had once been rich. “Monsieur, you Englishmen are so chivalrous —so ready to assist those in distress.” “Yes,” said the man of wealth, hesitating. He had heard that before and thought he knew what was coming next. “Would you, with your usual generosity, do me a favor and a great kindness?” “Yes, madam—that is, it depends somewhat —” “Think well, monsieur, before youi promise, for it is a great kindness.” It was the same old plea that he had heard many times before from people who wanted a loan. “I am afraid, madam, that I shall have to—but what is it you wish?” “Only that you kind enough, monsieur, to pass me the mustard. You have everything on your side of the table.”

TWO TYPES OF THE SOUTH.

Guriy Settlers from England Leave Their Traces to This Day. The two leading types of southern ' population are plainly the Virginian and the South Carolinian of the tidewater. For this fact there are both historical and physiographic reasons, declares the Atlantic. Virginia was the first and South Carolina the second southern colony to be settled by well-to-do Englishmen who desired to found permanent homes. The introduction of slavery and its application to staple crops speedily gave an aristocratic tone ' to society in both provinces, but between them, in North Carolina, and to the south of them, in Georgia, there were fewer wealthy settlers and no staple crops to speak of, so that from the first society in these provinces was more or less democratic in spite of slavery. Before, however, the gentry of the coast could expand and occupy the country lying between the Blue Ridge and the AUeghanies and beyond the latter range of mountains a very differer sort of people had moved in and talcuu possession. Among these people, ?*»ing to their habits and the nature their soil, slavery could take no strong hold, hence they remained democratic and distinct from their tidewater neighbors, as, indeed, they are to this day.
