GRAND ENTERTAINMENT!!

The Ludies’ Society of the .. resbyterian church have their plans n arly completed for a Grand Entertainment to take place June 29th and 30th, in the Opera House.— For two months these plans have been in progress, and preparations will commence at once. The principal feature of both evenings will be the “Dairy Mail’s Carnival,” led by Miss Toodie Ellis, of Kokomo, assisted by a corps of young ladies in costume. In addition to this there will be a weird “Gipay Camp,” “Doll Drill,” “Tea Party of Olden Time” “Fa cy Bazaar,” and “Ice Cream Palace.” A good musical and literary programme including tableaux for each evening, assisted by the Rensselaer Band.

Slippers 10 cents per pair.— Clothes-Pins 1 ct. per dozen *t the Chicago Bankrupt Store.

Pf tersom for July begins a new volume, and we can honestly say that, exceptional in merit as it has proved itself this year, the present number is an advance on its predecessors. The steel-engrav-ing, “lhe Pet Rabbit” is of rare beauty. A new serial begins, by Miss Bowman, the popular Southern writer, called “Along the Bayou,” and, to judge from the opening chapters, it will prove even superior to her former stories. A special interest attaches to the il lustrated paper, “The Princes of Modern Art,” from the fact that it was the last article ever written by Charles J. Peterson, and is done inUlis happiest and most discriminating manner. ‘The Black Trunk,’ by Mrs. Lucy H. Hooper, is one of the most original tales we have read in a long time, and the stories and poetay in general are far above the average of this or any other of the lady’s-magazines Now is a good time to subscribe or to get up clubs. Terms: two dollars per year, or one dollar for six months, with large reductions to cLbs. The premiums offered for getting up clubs are very handsome Specimen copies sent free to those desiring to get ur» clubs. Address, Peterson’s Magazine, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Women’s Knit Shoes, silk-work-ed button holes, at $1 00 per pair; and men’s Plow Shoes 50 cts. per pair, at the Chicago Bankrupt

Summer Normal Institute.

The Jasper County Normal Institute will open in the Rensselaer Public School Building, J ily 18, 1887, and will continue five weeks. OBJECTS OF THE NORMAL INSTITUTE. (1.) The object of the Normal shall be to give the teachers of Jasper and adjoining counties an opportunity to thoroughly review the common school branches. (2.) To inculcate correct principles as to school government as well as th* impartation of knowledge. (3.) To form habits of regularity and punctuality in attendance. (4.) To encourage rapidity of work, clearness aud accuracy of expression and fidelity to duty. TUITION.—For lull term in advance, $4 50. Per week, $1 00. INSTRUCTORS. J. F. Warren, County Superintendent; F. W. Reubelt, Sup’t. Rensselaer Schools; Bailey Martin, Prin. Franklin High School ; A. O. Warren, teacher Rensselaer schools.

All teachers who expect to teach in Jasper county should make it convenient to attend the Normal during the entire term, as the work done will be of great value to them. The work will be performed in systematic, logical o’-der, each recitation to be a link in a continuous chain of academic work, which instruction, it is to be hoped, will be of incalculable value to them in their winter’s work in the schoolroom. Good board and comfortable rooms can be had in private families at from $2 50 to $3 00 per week. Rooms can be rented and arrangements made for students to board themselves, thereby greatly reducing expenses. The annual County Teachers’ Institute will be held, the week immediately following the close of the Summer Normal, and further announcement of which will be made in due season.

Several months ago the family received a letter from the uncle saying that hie nephew was dead, and that the body had been embalmed and sent home bv a sailing shin. Last week the vessel arrived here, and the young mao’s parents, attired in deep mourn* Ing. went to receive the remains, A peculiarly shaped box was delivered to thorn, and was removed to their ho ne. When the undertaker opened the chest to give the parents a last look at the body it was found to contain a large Bengal tiger.

Coffin contained Bengal tiger.” Last night this answer was rer eived: “No mistake; George inside liger * The stock of Boots and Shoes at Fendig’s is most complete In variety, style, finish and price it is unsurpassed.
