Aids Nature JB The great success of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak ' lun|(s, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on ’ * W^ 4 the recognition of the fundamental truth that “Golden Medical Discovery’’ supplies Nature with body-build- ■ ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con- a densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering Obstinate coughs. 'Rie “Discovery" re-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies ■nd enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in •bort establishes sound vigorous health. , If your doaler off ora aoaiotblat “loot aa foods* ft la probably bottar FOR HIM-it paya *«***• * Bat you aro tblahlaf of tbo euro aot tba profit, ao tborafa aotblab "iuat aa food for you.

He did not farm the past year, but has rented a half section for the coming year, which he will move upon in the spring. He thinks it is a great country. Kentland is anxious for another crack at our checker players and it is probable that a half dozen will go over there Thursday night. The anxiety exhibited by Kentland, however, makes the local red and black men wonder if they havn’t got something up their sleeves 'in the way of a joker.* Rev. G. H.

David Mauck and son, Lee, of near Surrey, returned home last evening from a prospecting trip into North and South Dakota and Minnesota. They visited Mitchell, S. Dak., and Hillsboro, N. Dak., and Halstead and Shelly, Mont., and were delighted with the country. They did hot make any investment and did not rent land there, but may do so at a later date. Miss Lizzie Ahlers, who works at the Makeever house, came back this morning after a short visit at Francesville, where her cousin, John Ahlers, lies at the point of death as the result of an accident which occurred at Monon a week ago today. He had hauled a load of hay to Monon and the horses became frightened at something and John fell from the hay and the wheels of the wagon passed over his chest and stomach, inflicting internal injuries that will probably result fatally. He was not recognized at Monon and was unconscious throughout the day of the accident and it was not learned until the next day who he was. He is 23 years of age. Mrs. Julia Hubbard, who spent a few days here with her niece, Mrs. C. P. Wright, left this morning for her home in Kentland. Mrs. Hubbard was 70 years of age a few years ago, and at Kentland she is the housekeeper for her two older sisters, Mrs. Maria Vondersmith, aged 82 and Miss Catherine Seitzinger, aged 84, and for her bachelor son, aged 50, who is the main dependency of the three women. Mrs. Vondersmith is the mother of Mrs. Wright, and was the woman who was given a deposit ticket oh the Remington Building & Loan Association when she deposited money in the Parker bank, and in that way shut out from procuring even the meagre dividends paid by the bank. Her health is fairly good for one of her age. Her elder maiden Sister has been an invalid from birth and has reached her advanced age without serious sickness. Mrs. Tom Manley, daughter of John Kepner, is now living in the Haskell house on Weston street recently vacated'by Dr. Gwin. Mr. Manley is a contractor and structural iron worker and since their marriage Mrs. Manley has been traveling with him most of the time, and as he would only be in one city a few months at a time, they never felt established in a home. Now that they have a baby several months old they felt the necessity of establishing a permanent home and naturally selected Rensselaer, where her parents reside. Mr. Manley is now engaged in the erection of a large building at Kendalville, which will keep him there most of the time until next April. The building will be of brick with a steel frame. George Kepner, brother of Mrs. Manley, will go there Friday to begin work with his broth-er-in-law. Tom will be remembered here by many because of his being one of the stats of the old football team.

Itching, bleeding, protruding or blind piles yield to Doan’s Ointment. Chronic cases soon relieved, finally cured. Druggists all sell it.

The attendance at the Catholic parochial school is 52. which is somewhat less than the enrollment. Added to the number attending the city schools it is probable that the total enrollment in Rensselaer is larger than that of either Monticello or Delphi. E. G. Sternberg, of the firm of C. H. Sternberg & Sons, started for Oklahoma City this morning to bid on a big dredging contract, that has been estimated to cost about $90,000. The contract will be let next Monday. The Sternberg firm has an idle dredge not far from there which they will use on the job if they are the successful bidders. Landy MaGee yesterday evening completed the painting of the water tower, for which he received $75. He done the work in four and a half days, but was delayed considerably because of not having material, and it was more than a week from the time he commenced until he finished. It is a snug sum to earn in that length of time. The contract was let by bids. Ernest Rapp, of Washington, 111., whose barn was burned some ten days ago at his farm occupied by 11. T.
