Still A Possible Chance

To Secure For Rensselaer The Great East And West Railroad, The reports that have gone out in the newspapers that the exact route of the Findlay, Fort Wayne & Western, now surveyed through this oounty, some eight miles north of Rensselaer, has been definitely located beyond a shadow of a doubt or hope of turning seems not to have been based on exaot information. The exact line of the road is not definitely deoided upon, and there would seem to be at least a possibility of its being brought to Rensselaer. The following oorrespendenoe will need no further explanation. Rensselaer, Ind. Dec. 18,1897. Gen. Mgr. Findlay, Ft. Wayne & Western R. R. Chicago, 111. Dear Sir:— It is now reported that your road will will make an extension from Ft. Wayne to Kankakee, 111, and that the line will be an air line in whioh oase it will pass through Jasper county, only about 8 miles north of this plaoe, the survey, as we understand has already been made. Now we feel that it will be to your advantage in several respeots to vary from this line enough to make this point. Rensselaer is on the Monon road (Chicago branch) and as the General Manager, Mr. MoDoel has stated is the eighth station on their road from Hammond to Louisville in point of business, both passenger and freight traffio. During the past year and for several previous years the Monon has handled over three thousand oars of freight at this point, its inoome exceeding $75,000. The grain and hay shipped from this plaoe amounts to about 1500 oars, and our dealers say that with an eastern out-let all of this would go east, besides a large number of cars of live stook, probably 300 cars, rnuoh of which would go to the Sea board with an eastern out-let. There is a road bed already built, by the old Continental road, from Franoesville to Rensselaer whioh would be available in oase you should find it to your interest to come to this plaoe, and we have no doubt, but that the right of way over this road bed oould be seoured without difficulty, and this would make quite a saving in construction account. We also feel that it would be to your interest to come by this place because the oountry over whioh the road would be built will be much better and the construction muoh cheaper than over the line surveyed through this oounty, (Jasper) as very few, if any marshes would be encountered, and the country is generally level, most of the ridges of sand being on the line surveyed. Trusting that this letter will receive the attention to whioh we believe it entitled, we remain, Very truly yours, Business Mens Association. Per C. E. Mills. Findlay, Ohio. Dec., 21st, 1897. Charles E. Mills, Esq., Attorney at Law, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir:— Your letter to General Maanger of this road, relative to our proposed western extension, has been referred to me, and I have to say that we are not quite ready to take up definitely the question of location of line, but when the time comes I will be very glad to consider your suggestion and for that purpose to meet you or some of your associates. Meantime believe me, Very truly yours, Geog. Chapman. Assistant to President.

And now Senator W olfcott, of Colorado, ia ready to announce his withdrawal from the Bepublican party. Bring on that wood.

Indiana democrats invite all the prodigals to return, but there will be no "fatted oalf" provide! for them, nor will they be permitted any dictation. Charleß W. Blue and Miss May, daughter of Mr. and Mr* Geo. M. Robinson, were married last Suns day. at the residence of the bribes f ßrents in this oity, bv Rev. B. F. erguson. By a strict adherence to Democratic prinoi les, and foroing the double dealing pharisees to shift for themselves, the Democracy of Jasper county will eventually make itself felt in the district and state. The Jonahs must be east adrift. Thnrsdi.v of l ist week in White oircuit court, in the cause of Noihoisen vs G. K. Hollingsworth, W. B. Austin.and A. H. Hopkins, Judge Palmer deoided the plaint iff had no cause of aotion; on the same day, in same court, a similar cause, against same parties, by D D. Gleason, was dismissed by pl’ff at bis own cost. A like oanse m Newton cirouit court, Bailey vs same parties, jury rendered verdict against plaintiff. The Washington, D. 0., News Letter, referring to Senator Turn pie, says: This venerable gentleman has returned to Congress in excellent health anu full of fight. Mr. Turpie proposes to fight two propositions whioh are likely to be prominent during the present session, one the Nicaragua Canal and the other the Bankers Currency Bill. Mr. Tur; ie is a vigorous fighter and a very able debater.

HOW TO FIND OUT. J Fill a bottle or common glass uitli urine and let it, stand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling | indicates a diseased condition of /he kidneys. Whtn urine stains i linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent den sire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of ordet. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so ofteu ex pres ied, that Dr. Kilmer's Hwamo Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish | in relieving paiu in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and ever? part of the urinery passages. It or* rects inability lo hold urine aDd scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being com* pel ed to get up many timefl during the night to urinate.. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon rt aliased It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you ueed r medicine you should have the best.
