SEPTEMBER M. DKMOCftAT WCATKEB UI'LIKTIH. OOTIBXIIENT POKICiBT rOR TOBit. FOE warm, fair weather change is, however, In right, and, while it advancing slowly, will reach us during the latter part of the abnormally heated and sultry condition of the atmosphere over the Mississippi and Ohio valleys a trough of low pressure now extends from Minnesota to New Meiico. West of this trough, or on the Rocky mountain slope, cloudy, rainy and much cooler weather prevails, with a high barometer advancing from the Pacific at most points in the central valleys as far north as Minnesota again rose to or beyond yesterday.

p. m. 30.11 81 ts clear Died in the West. Enes R. Voorhees, who formerly lived in Union township, this county, died in Pueblo, Colorado, on September 17th.

Mountain fever was the cause. He was sick tight days. No Nelson. Members Rothenbush and Whitaker, of the Butler County Agricultural society were unable to secure "Nelson," the famous stallion of Cambridge City, for an exhibition trot duringjthe fair. Kicked by a Horse.

Yesterday morning, Frank Baker, an employe at Pugh's livery stable, on South was kicked in the jaw by a horse. A deep gash, three inches long, eiposing the bone, was cut and his face badly bruised. Harried Both Parents and Daughter. Married yesterday evening at St John's parsonage, by Rey. C.

A. Hermann, Philip Schwenn and Miss Emma Scheerer. Twenty-four years ago the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Scheerer, were married by the same pastor at the same parsonage.

Bnmed While Kltlnguishlng a Fire. Last night some curtains caught fire at the residence of George White, jr. The Threes were)called and extinguished the flames. Both George White and John Little were severely burned about the head, face and arms. White is suffering considerable pain today.

Is He a Butler County Man? The body of a man found dead in an alley just off of Sixth street in Cincinnati, remains unidentified, although one man 'thinks the unfortunate is a Butler county man. Hesasys the man's relatives live or lived in this county and several died of consumption. The whole affair is still another mystery. The Apollo Assembly Opens the Season The Apollo assembly gave its opening dance in Music hall last evening. Like all other events held under the auspices of this well known social club, last evening's opening was decidedly a success.

The dancing hall was very handsomely decorated. Music was furnished by Kennedy's orchestra. A number of strangers were present from Indianapolis and Cumminsville. A light lunch was served late in the evening. The costumes of the ladies were elegant.

A Case of Get Even. P. V. Skinner and Geo. W.

Roberts, of Middletown, were arrested Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff Krebs and brought to this city on a warrant sworn to by Martin Kofroth, charging them with assault and battery with intent to kill. This case is the outgrowth of the arrest and incarceration of Koforth in the county jail several months since for abusing his family and threatening to kill his wife. These two gentlemen happened near, when a fight ensued, and they were probably the means of preventing Kofroth from carrying out his threat. Skinner is a trader who resides just east of town, and Roberts a spinner in the Sorg Tobacco factory, both quiet citizens, and only interfered to prevent I probable, murder of a weak woman, and perhaps a small child or two. They gave bond, and returned home on the next train Hamilton Knights Templars Who Attended the Grand Commandery Hamilton Commandery No.

41 K. T. participated in the Knights Templars parade in Cincinnati yesterday afternoon. The members all acquitted themselves very creditably and their marching and drill were fully up to the standard. In the evening most of them attended the reception, a few whiled away time at the Scottish Rite cathedral and several witnessed "Alabama" at the Grand.

The commindery took no band with them, which proved to be a wise move as there were more bands in the parade than were needed. There Was no lack of music. The headquarters of Hamilton com- mandery was at the armory of Hanselman commandery In the Scottish Rite cathedra). £minent Commander O. P.

Grume, of this city, was appointed as a member of the committee on returns at the business session of the grand commandery of Ohio. It Is a very important committee. Sir Knights J. E. Morey, J.

C. Slavback and Edwin Jones were accompanied by their wives. Several of the remained over to-day, but most of them returned home at 1 o'clock this morning, tired, but feeling well pleated with the grand commandery meeting. WANTED. 6 gentlemen ud 8 children, out boy, one girl, about 5 years of age, to talrtnto In The "County Fair" play at GloWtSf Friday night.

Apply to the AHTOIM BuhmiT, (K.T. Campbell Wtai Joint LMbttt QtiMtlon- "Tilin" I'p. "Thedetails for the joint dabate between Governor Campbell and Major McKlnley, at Ada, Thursday, October 8, were arranged today by Chairmen Neal and by Prof. S. H.

Lehr, president of the normal school at Ada, through whose efforts the'joint meeting has been arranged. The two chairmen, with Prof. Lehr, met at democratic state headquarters this morning, and, after agree- ng that the time to be occupied by the two speakers should not exceed three hours, proceeded to arrange the details. The debate will begin at 1:30 o'clock the afternoon, each speaker to be allowed one hour and thirty minutes' time. Governor Campbell will open the debate, speaking one hour and five minutes, when Major McKinley will have one hour and thirty minntes in which to reply, the governor to close in twenty-five minutes.

two campaign managers had no trouble in arranging the details of the meeting until the question of wYo should open and close came up, when it was agreed to decide it by lot. Professor Lehr tossed a silver dollar with the understanding that the chairman who namad what turned up should have the choice of the opening and closing. Chairman Hahn called and the 'coin dropping 'tail' upward, gave Chairman Neal the choice and he chose as stated." WAS SHE IX HAMILTON? Cincinnati's Morphine Taker Still a Gibbins' Experience-He Thinks the Girl the Same One Whom He Brought Here from New London. The Cincinnati and some Hamilton papers have been padding their columns about a girl named Florence Hill or Bessie Lukes or some other unknown personage. The latest information about the girl is that no one knows who she is.

Frank Gibbins saw a picture of the girl the other day in the Cincinnati Post. and is positive that it is the same girl be met a week ago tomorrow while driving near New London. He met the girl on the road, and she stopped him and pile ously begged him to ride, as she was very tired and had had nothing to eat for some time. Frank took her in hi wagon, and then discovered that she was wandering in her head, and had no destination in view. He brought ber to Hamilton.

On the way she told a pitiful story about bad treatment at her Rich mond home, said she would never re turn, and asked Mr. Gibbins to secure her work. He happened to know that Mrs. Aug, of Eleventh street, wanted a girl, so he took her there and Mrs. Aug engaged her.

She stayed until one week ago today and then mysteriously disappeared ard the next thing heard of her was in Cincinnati. Mr. Gibbins is not positive that the two girls are one and the same, but from the PutVt picture he thinks they are. Whoever the girl is, she is kicking up quite a muss. The Enquirer this morning says that her identity is unknown.

The readers of the DEMOCRAT will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment.

Hall's Catarrh cure is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient MrengtH by building up the con- and autsting nature In doing Iti work.
