Women Inclined To Constipation (best Care Should Be Taken Not to Use Violent Cathartics ■Women, owing to their peculiar functlons, are more or less liable to constipation and many of them owe their continued ill health to the pill habit A well known physician lays the majority of cases of foul breath, bad complexion, disordered stomach, sick headache and female to constipation and the constant use of violent cathartics to overcome it We believe women will be glad to learn Of a safe reliable bowel and stomach remedy that is pleasant to take and that the first few doses will certainly produce natural daily movements without pain or gripe and In a short time establish a permanent cure. It is so effective It has cured cases of 60 years’ standing and yet so mild and safe thousands of mothers give it to their babies. Jennie Gresham, Nashville, Tenn., says: - "I suffered almost death with torpid liver and indigestion and Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gave me quick relief.’* Sister M. Berchmans, of Mt St. Mary’s Academy, Oklahoma City, says: “We have found Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin satisfactory as a gentle laxative and stomach tonic.” Mrs. Myrtle Mather, Chicago, says: "My daughter was troubled since birth with Constipation and sick headache. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin cured her.” Mrs. W.’M. Powers, New Philadelphia, Ohio, says: ‘lt is the best remedy for constipation and stomach trouble I have ever used." Mrs. B. H. Brown, Addington, Okla., says it gave her prompt relief from constipation and torpid liver. Mrs. Isabella Wheeler, Freetown, Ind., says: "Twenty-three years ago I was taken With stomach trouble. Three years ago X had become so weak I could hardly walk. I took Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and today am as well as ever.” Druggists sell it at 50c and SI.OO per bottle- . We are glad to send a free sample to any one who has not used it and will give it a fair trial. Address Pepsin Syrup Co., SOS Caldwell Bldg., Monticello, HI. SOLD BY A. F. LONG.

CHICAGO SCUM HOLD DANCE AT COLISEUM

“Bathhouse John” Coughlin and “Hinky Dink” Kenna Pnll Off Their Scarlet Letter Dance In Chicago John ’ Coughlin and Michael Kenna. The names have no harsh sound and might in the ordinary- course of the world be considered very respectable. But when the appellation of "Bathhouse” is saddled to the first and “Hinky Dink” to the last, the names have a singularly different appearance. What’s in a name? Nothing, perhaps, if the name was originally given, but when the name is applied because of an act, there is a great deal in it. And while John Coughlin and Michael Kenna might have gone through the world with the names their parents gave them and created no more than passing notice, "Bathhouse John” and “Hinky Dink” are recognized as belonging to the lower crust of humanity, men who proclaim de ency for themselves but who owe their existence in prominent places to the vilest class of Chicago’s citizenship. Both are members of the Chicago city council, and are elected year after year by the votes of the class of men who visit their saloons, and who have no regard for law, either statute or moral. For their support they are granted such Immunity as it is possible for their sin-fatted representatives in the Chicago council to procure for them. Of course, it is up to "The Bath” and "The Hink” to keep the crooks and imbeciles and bums and bats who elect them jollied up to the highest pitch and to do this they arrange an annual ball which takes place at the coliseum, in Chicago. It is a free and easy affair, no restrictions on the attendance except that they have the price of admission.

The ball this year took place on Monday night. Various civic organizations and churches had thought that the ball should be prohibited in the interest of public decency, and one enthusiast went so far in his or her zeal to prevent the occurrence as to hurl a bomb up against the building Sunday night As it exploded two adjoining frame buildings collapsed but the incident only served to advertise the affair and Monday night there were 16,000 people, yes, people, two-legged humans attended the carnival of slime. That they had two legs was evident to all who were there, not only the men but the women, for the latter were not protected with quite the modesty that respectable women demand. It is said that no matter how respectable or how modest women are that when they cross- a muddy street they always raise their skirts a lttle over two feet. Well, the women who attended the Chicago Ist ward ball Monday night raised their skirts over 24 inches, and without a blush of shame. The ball was an orgy where low moraled men and lower moraled women gathered and drank and cursed and danced. Once fair cheeks, where the kiss of a mother ''H. * had been often planted as she wished her child a life of purity, were buried beneath sheets of powder and paint and the struggle of the orgy caused rivers of sweat to plow their way through the cosmetics and expose about the only part of the anatomy that it had been aimed to conceal.

It was Babylon brought down to date; it was Sodom and Gomorrah of Syria, a bedlam of vice and indecency, with* blasphemy and cursing on the lips of men and women. The Chicago Tribune sent a reporter there to write an account of the “ball”. He tpld how they sold booze in the main coliseum, in the annex, in the basement. After the crowd had gathered all of the doors were locked except one, for fear some one might be tempted to go home. Among the participants were some evidently young in vice, who were taking the early steps of sin that is certain to send them ere long to the very depths of depravity. Occasionally there was recognized among the revelers the face of a presumed-to-be respectable man, whose business relations would have Indicated a higher respect for himself, but who had gone into his level of moral ele- 1 ment Just for a night, not thinking probably that It might be his last night and that the wrath that de-! stroyed Lot might be visited on that sinful throng. Man's mad chase for the dollar is responsible for much of the sin of the world. “Bathhouse John” and "Hipky Dink” are estimated to have cleared up $20,000 by the drunken hookem. * May God have mercy on John Coughlin and Michael Kenna. Fancy salad dressing, fine syrup, sweet pecallette, good olives and alt other little niceitiee to finish off your Christmas dinner. HOME GROCERY.,

Anniversary of the Parker Bank Failure.

It was one year ago last Saturday, that the Remington Bank which was run by Robert Parker, closed its doors. The revelations following the failure indicate that the confidence that the public had reposed in Robert Parker was never justified, and there are many who believe and apparently with good reason that he systematically set about to defraud the confiding people who trusted him so implicitly. Although a year Jhas transpired since the bank was closed and eight months since Robert Parker went to Michigan City to serve a sentence of from 2 to 14 years, a confesse<| embezzler, not a cent in dividends has been paid to the depositors, and the diligent work of Trustee William Cheadle, has discovered that there will be but little, from 10 to 15 cents on the dollar at the outside, that these depositors will ever receive. It had been hoped to declare a dividend of 10 per cent by the Ist of January, but the doubtful title to the Parker residence property is said to have made this impossible. Mr. Parker and his wife deeded this property to the trustee after the failure, and It was thought that the transfer would hold good, but now it is said that the law granting a dower one-third right to the wife is sufficient to set aside the transfer even after Mrs. Parker had signed the deed. On this account the dividend will not be declared until later. A year ago Mr. Parker was the most highly respected and completely trusted man in Remington and now he is a felon and those who tried the hardest to believe that he was not intentionally dishonest have suffered a great reversal of sentiment and all of his old friends and townsmen are now much of the opinion that he was really at heart an intentional thief. Had the present law that provides for the Inspection of private banks been in vogue for the past ten years the Bank of Remington could never have led its depositors to the straits in which they were left. Little did those who had confidence in him when the crash came a year ago think what shocking revelations were in store for them when the examination of the bank’s affairs were gone into.

FOR THAT DULL FEELING AFTER EATING. I have used Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me ‘more good than any tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating— David Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They are far superior to pills but cost no ! more Get a free sample at B. F. 1 Fendig’s drug stole and see what a splendid medicine it is c W. W. Miller was over from Mb Ayr this morning and has decided to have the Daily Republican sent to him for a time. He has had the , Semi-Weekly Republican in bis home for many years and now will hear from the Jasper huh daily through the medium of the Daily.

GOOD COUGH -MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: “I have never used anything other than Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction.” This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult.

Gifford to Run Two Trains. T. M. Callahan, farm superintendent .for B. J. Gifford, was in town this I morning and stated to the Republican that after Jan. Ist it Is Mr. Gifford’s Intention to put another train on his road between McCoysburg, the southern and Dinwiddle, the northern terminus of his railroad. One of the trains will start each morning from the south and one from the north, each making a round trip every day. The road Is gradually getting a better business and when It is finally built Into Gary there Is no reason why It should not enjdy a very good business. j If Rensselaer had the railroad it would be a great thing for us as well as a great thing for Gifford. Play a game of box ball and see the fine gold watch that la to be given away New Year eve.

Letter from D. A. Tucker.

Aurora, lowa., Dec. 14, 1908. | Dear Editor: We re<»ive the semi-weekly visit of the Rensselaer Republican as an old friend and as a family letter. Well, I promised you that you should hear from me occasionally. Now I must, if for nothing else, keep my word and write you. We are still residing here at lowa, although I established a home in McKenzie county, N. Dak., which is situated in the central part of the state, north and south. Bounded on the •west by the noted Yellow Stone river and the state of Montana, on the north and east by the big Mo river and partially on the' south t y the Little Mo river. I took a soldiers claim there, establishing myself on the claim Oct. 12th. I have a shack of very liberal diminsions of 10x12 feet, drop siding, shingle roof and painted white. I can prove up in one year, as my four years’ service is deducted from the five years’ residence required by law of a civilian. The soil there Is as fertile as it is here in lowa, coal is abundant, timber can be had from the above river bottom. There are two railroad surveys. The U. P. and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul., running from Dikerson to Willertin north and south. This is destined to he a great county. This Is in the great wheat country, as high as 53 bushels to the acre have been raised and 113 bushels of oats. My claim is 35 miles from railroad, G. N. at Willistin. This is enough about North Dakota at present. My son, L. H. Bates Tucker is at Santiago, Cuba. He will return to the states before April Ist Andrew will graduate from Parker college in June. He is also doing tutor work in the college. He is manager of the foot ball team, which has been defeated but once during the past season, at St. Paul, Minn. James and Clarence are all the children that are at home with us. They are in Aurora school. . Regards to all my friends. REV. D. A. TUCKER.

IT IS A WONDER. Chamberlain’s Liniment is one of the most remarkable preparations yet produced for the relief of rheumatic pains, and for lame back, sprains and bruises. The quick relief from pain which it affords in case of rheumatism is alone worth many times its cost. Price 25 cents; large size 50 cents. For. sale by B. F. Fendig. c DeWitt’s Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve has many imitators. There is one original, and the name DeWitt is on every box. Best salve for burns, scratches and hurts. It is especially good for piles. Sold by all druggists. A DANGEROUS OPERATION, is the removal of the appendix by„a surgeon. No one who takes Dr. King’s New Life Pillß is ever subjected to this frightful ordeal. They work so quietly you don’t feel them. They cure constipation, headache, billiousness and malaria. 25c at A F. Long’s drug store.
