Ehrhardt Wuerthner, jr„ was in town yesterday and tells us that he believes he had one of the best 1 clover seed yields In the county [this year. Thirteen acres thr's’red out 46 bushels and 16 pounds, which is a little better than 3% bushels to the acre, if there were any better yields he would like to have it reported. Frank Crosscup is attache! to Co. I, of the 10th Indiana r’giment, aid that is the company now stationed at the barracks.

• ■ II ■ ... ■ ■ —— • - Frank Goff is down from Fair 0 ks today. He has been handlings the Fair Oaks pickle station this year and reports that at that station they have taken in IS,OOO bushels of pickles, for whicß they have ' paid out to the farmers the large sum of $9 000. The plant there is the property of the National Pickle Co. and they are so well pleased with the re ult at that place that there is a probability that they will erect a finishing plant there. True Woodworth brought a migh y fine flavored and large peach to the Republican office this morning. He I had expected when he built his new barn last spring to have to cut the tree down, but later determined to save it, and he yesterday picked a bushel and a half of very fine peaches from it. There was certainly an ' abundance of peaches- raised in this ' locality this year, but very few trees ' produced the quality that Mr. Woodworth’s has. • ...» ' —l*»— "I V I I I I ' ■ II It is probable that several of the newspaper articles that discussed the possibility of Representative Meeker’s refusal to vote for the county option bill, were not well founded, for Mr. Meeker voted for the temperance measure at every stage. The temperance people of Jasper county rh uld let him know that they appreciate this and letters commending his action' should be written to him. His address is Monticello, and he should be flooded with letters of approval.

New corn is quite apt to start at the remarkably high price of 75 cents per bushel, and a stock feeder at Lafayette" has made an advance purchase of 13,000 bushels at that price. Many farmers living hear Rensselaer are estimating that they will have from 25 to 40 bushels to the acre, x but there are also many fields that will not make nearly that much and an average of 18 or 20 bushels for the entire acreage planted is not tar off. If corn does start at 75 cents It is not improbable that it will reach the dollar mark before another crop is raised. Miss Alice Banta, whose burial took place at the Osborne cemetery Mop-, day, was about 48 years of age, and had spent much of her life in this county. Her home was in Chicago, but for some time she had been with

relatives at Milford, Ind. For the past nine months she had been a victim of locomotor ataxia, which was the cause of her death.

Among the relatives attending the funeral was a cousin, Mr. Tom McErnery, of Chicago/ / " ' ’

The new Hemphill horse stocks manufacturing company already have a reputation that is America wide, and the stocks have been sold from coast .to coast and from Florida to Canada, and the company enters into business with the success of the stocks under Mr. Hemphill’s management, as a foundation. This last week Mr. Hemp hill had an inquiry from Yorks, England, and it is probable that a sale of a stocks will be made there. The company is entering upon its business with the full belief that there is a fine chance for it to become a big concern. The stocks is now recognized as the most successful on the market and with the push that its enterprising promoters have the result should be the building of a big factory here eventually for its manufacture, and also for the manufacture of the wagon coupler.

Homer Dobbins and Ray Hopkins are each receiving almost daily mention in the Indianapolis papers in connection with the training of the Wabash college football team. Dobble is again to play right end and "Fat” is to play left guard and probably part of the time at tackle. The papers, always speak of Hopkins as the “Rensselaer giant” It is probable that these two will be the only varsity players that Rensselaer will have this year. Vaughn Woodworth, who was one of the best high school and athletic players Rensselaer has had in recent years, will have no trouble in making the Purdue freshmaiF team, and it is also probable that he could,make the varsity team, were it not for the rule that bars freshmen from playing on the teams in the association. The first game for Wabash will be next Saturday, when they play Franklin college. The following Saturday they will play Rose Polytechnic.

A Lazy Liver May be only a tired liver, or a starved liver. It would be a stupid as well as savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because he lagged in his work. So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a great mistake to lash It with strong drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled body whose organs are weary with over work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has made many marvelous cures of "liver trouble ” by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores the normal activity of the stomach. Increases the secretions of the blood-mak-ing glands, cleanses the system from poisonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs. If you have bluer or bad taste in the morning. poor or/Variable appetite, coated tongue, foul breath, constipated or irregular bowela. feel weak, easiljk tired. Respondent. frequent headaches, pain Ar dlstresata "small of back.’ gnawing or distressed feehmr in stomach, perhaps nausea.NjftaAJPwfo’" risings” in throat after eating, and kinb<<\i symptoms Of weak stomach and torpid no medicine will relieve you more promptly or cure you more than Doctor Plercey Gpldyn Medical Discovery. Perhaps only * partof the above aympforils will be present at one time and yet point to torpid liver or biliousneM and weak stomach. Avoid all hot bread and biscuits, griddle cakes and other indigestible food and take the "Golden Medical Discovery " regularly and stick to its use until you are vigorous and strong. The "Discovery" is non-secret, non-alco-holic. is a glyceric extract of native medicinal roots with a full list of its ingredients printed on each bottle-a.apper and attested under oath. Its Ingredients are endorsed and extolled by the most eminent medical writers of the age and are recommended to core the diseases for which it is advised.

Joe Reynolds was here yesterday on his regular rounds as a traveling salesman for the J. _W. Butler Paper Co., of Chicago. Joe’s route takes him to many Indiana cities and he has felt the political pulse as he went about. He thinks there can be no doubts about Watson’s election and places his majority at 50,000. The Indianapolis News Wednesday published a picture of the Wabash football team in their line of positions. Dobble at right end and Hopkins at left guard were plainly visible. Hopkins has been given the nicl name of "Sis” at the college. He has reinjure'd his shoulder, according to the Star; and will probably be kept out of the Saturday game. The Chicago Cubs lost their Wednesday ball game to Cincinnati, while their rivals, the New York Giants, won, and it now looks quite hopeless for the Cubs, and the Sox are also looking a little down in the mouth, holding third place in the American league. It looks like neither of the Chicago teams will fly a pennant next, year. G. A.
