Ayer's Ague Cure never fails to neutralize the poisons of malaria,and eradicate them from the system. This preparation is purely vege- table, contains no harmful ingre dients, and, if taken according direc- tions, is warranted to cure fever and ague. Try it.

The Times is glad to see thut the Odd Fellows lodge, of this city, has taken hold of the matter of securing the home at this place.

Now all together. We hardly think there is any foundation for the report that the republicans of this senatorial dis triet contemplate endorsing the nomination of Capt. H. C. Donohue, the populist candidate. The repub. licans of the district have nominated a county ticket. They will nominate a state ticket and a congressional candidate, and ‘. is not probable the ticket will be left blank for state senator or that they would accept a candidate in the person of Captain Donohue.

Saturday evening during the rain storm a flash of lightning set fire to the large barn of J. L. McConnell, five miles southwest of the city, and | the structure was soon consumed, together with its contents which | consisted of this year’s hay crop, just | placed in the barn, three head of) good horses, one spring wagon, one buggy, all the harness, a mowing | machine and a large lot of farm ma- chinery. At the time of the fire only Mr. McConnell and his daughter | were at home. Mr. McConnell saw | the flash of lightning and feeling confident it had struck close to the house,walked to the door and looked | in the direction of the barn, but the rain was pouring downand he again | took his seat without further inves- tigation, when in a minute or s0 republican conyention Saturday, in- formed us that the Ohio Cash House at Adrian was burglarized Friday night. The burglars forced the back door and took several suits of clothing, a number of shirts, etc. A new shoe was found on the rail road track south of town, showing the parties went ia that direction. The democrats and populists of Green county, have combined ona ticket against the republicans. The combination has about 1,000 majori ty over the republicans, it is said. This is all wrong. the democrats ought to have nominated a straight ticket. There is nothing to be gain- ed by fusion, except perhaps a coun- he saw the flames leap from the roof of the barn. He and his daughter then made haste to the burning | building and attempted to release | the horses. They cut them loose and run them to the decor, but the animals refused to go out and rush- ed back into the burning building | and further efforts to rescue them | was out of the question, and they | were lefi. to their fate. Mr. McCon- | nell then turned his attention to | saving a fine stallien, which, by a close call, he succeeded in doing. | This animal, we understand, was the only property saved. The loss, it is estimated, will amount to over $1,600. ty office or two for some unworthy political renegade who ought not to have it. C. R. Walters, secretary of the democratic press association, which meets at Warrensburg, Aug. 24th and 25th, speaks in glowing terms of the prospects for a grand time and an immense crowd. The secre- tary says it is the intention to make the meeting a grand ratification of the state ticket, and wich such speak- ers as vice-president Stevenson, con gressman Bryan, of Nobraska, Govs. Stone, Francis and other orators of note, the meeting cannot fail to be one of the largest ever held in the state. Coming up the street Saturday we meta populist farmer returning from the depot where he delivered a load of wheat. We asked the price. Thirty-seven cents said he and you democrats say don't hollow calamity All right sir, will you please give me the price of flax. He hung his head a moment and then said, well it’s worth $1 per bushel, and the yield 18 to 20 bushels. Now calamity wheat, will you give me the price of hay in the field? $5.50 per ton. And the bailer takes it away? Yes. One We were unable to learn whether there was any insurance on the property. New wheat is selling at 38c and 40c. There was a time when it | noon.

This is the lowest notch yet reached, but the treasury officials exhibit to uneasiness, from the fact that the avilable cash bal- ance remains unimpaired, and the brought a better price per bushel. | exspectation that a tariff bill will That was in the good old days of the past, when forty acres was con- siderei a big crop. When it took eight or ten men with cradles to harvest it and as many more to put it in sheaves. The pay of these har- vest hands ranged from $2 to $2.50 per day each. In addition the farmer was expected to furnish the whiskey and aleo the provisions and his good wife as a cook. Then the wheat must be stacked and go through the sweat. After this came the separater with twenty men and sixteen to thirty horses. The farmer, of course, was again expected to furnish the cook, entertain the hands and feed the stock. He likewise dropped corn by hand, covered it with a hoe, and cul- more please, what is cern worth? 45c per bushel.
