Uncle Jim Snyder was down from Laura yesterday and brought us an advance Christmas present in the way of a new subScricer lor the Republican. He started this morning on his trip to Liberty, Ind., which was delayed for about three months by the accident be had at Wheatfield. Unde Charley Platt, has written us a short letter from Dnlnth, Minn. He says the climate is fine there and the city a nice one. There is plenty of work at good pay, and produce no higher than in Rensselaer. He thinks it is the place for a poor man to make money, but if he likes to boss he had better stay in Rensselaer. The weather has been ideal for the past week for conditions. The temperature one night last week reached 14 degrees above zero and on two other nights got down to 16 above. The days are * bright and warm and corn, which bas been so long in drying, is now in very good condition and bask era are busy all over the county. The general store stock of George Leßarge, a Gifford store keeper, has been attached at Kersey, the action for attachment having been brought by Alf Collins, proprietor of the River Queen Mill. Leßarge is in North Dakota, and the goods were being shipped by his father, who, it is said claims to hold a bill of sale for them. Other creditors of Leßarge, including the'Wheatfield bank, are interested in the attach ment.

Bro. Babcock of the Democrat, is unalterably apposed to football, and the only time he mentions the game it is in connection with a rec ord of deaths and injuries. It wee, therefore, rather a good joke on him last week when he need almost an entire column of plate matter, giving a picture of DeTray, the famous captain of the Chicago University foot ball club. The article praised DeTray as a football player, ealled him a “heady player, a reliable ground gainer and a master of gridiron strategy.’' It also contained some valuable football hints and some notes on the Pennsyl-vania-Michigan game. Probably Bro. Babcock would not have stood for this, but he was evidently eo engrossed with the forthcoming Bryan meeting at Lafayette that bis editorial page did not know wbat his back page was doing.

The 3-. E. Murray Co. has put on a great money saving sale. Biliousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me.

The Purdue Exponent, the carefully edited student publication of Purdue University speaks very laudably oi the lecture by Frank B. Roberson, which was delivered there Monday night. He illustrates his lecture with lantern pictures, and fairly takes his auditors a trip to all the lauds he himself so recently visited. The Exponent says “The slides used are simply wonderful in their effect and the gradual change from towering mountains to low valleys produced a feeling akin to realization. In concluding its praise of the speaker the paper says: “Of the speaker we must say that he held the people spellbound and so clear was his enunciation that every one, even to the farthest corner, ctjtrld understand perfectly.” A letter received from Mrs. Geo. E. Mrs. C. W. Hanley, with instructions that it be passed around to a number of other ladies, gains a very pleasing de-

scription of their beautiful new Oregon home, dwelling on the scenery, the climate and the wonderful fruits produced there. Mrs. Marshall had been very sick, had to be carried from the train in the car changeat Sacramento, Gal., aud from the train to a hotel at Medford, and for a week was unable to leave

tfie hotel. Their household goods had not yet arrived when the letter was written aud Mr. Hausen’s family and theirs were living as best they could by using store boxes for tables and by having borrowed some things from accommodating neighbors. Mrs. Marshall said that the man from whom they had bought the farm said he could show the figures where $30,000 worth of fruit had been sold from the farm iu the past four years. A neighbor farm owner bad recently-refused SI,OOO an acre for his fruit larm. When the family is settled and Mr. Marsatl can find time ■we havebeen promised a letter from himfor publication, and feel sure that subscribers who have read his paper for so many years will Anticipate this treat with delight.

The Marble Drainage Petition.

The Horace Marble petition, to wideu and deepen the channel of the Kankakee river is again before the circuit court, the sufficiency of the remonstrance filed against the petition being considered by the court. For the petitioners A. Hal leek, of Rensselaer, is the leading counsel and arrayed against him are Attorney Bruce, of Crown Point; Grant Crum packer, of Valparaiso; George Gregg, of Hebron; and George A. Williams, of Rensselaer. Only one witness was examined Wednesday and the case is apt to continue over three or four days and a large number of land owners from the north end are on hand as witnesses. -*** -ff &e remonstrance is held insufficient to defeat the petition the opposition will then test the jurisdiction of the court based on the river frontage. It is going to be the -liveliest ditch battle ever fought out in the Jasner circuit court. * :■ ~

Steer Clear of Medical Quacks.

Advertising tendered this paper by the Cleveland Institution of Medicine and Surgery, who will send represedtives, alleged specialists, here within the next ten days, has been turned down, and the draft for $2.50 returned to the company. It is our opinion that these socalled specialists are in fact a set oi traveling quacks and this opinion is based on the very cautious wording of their advertising, which is done to evade the Indiana laws regulating the practice ot medicine. These people use a lot of salve in their advertising, telling how they will not treat you if you are being treated by a local physician and also-saying they will treat you entirely free qf charge, and that they wiU give you no medicine but after returning to Cleveland will put yon under treatment. i They would not be allowed, until licensed in this state to give'medicine, and they are systemmatically planning tojevade the law, the very purpose of whieh is to shut out quack and traveling fake doctors. Persons will do well to steer clear of these self-professed specialists and the Republican advisee its readers to refuse them even a hearing.
