J. F. Irwin returned from Wolcott yesterday Afternoon, where he had been to visit his son Ed and the tile factory. Just as he was leaving, an accident occurred in the clay pit. A workman had dug under the surface and a cave-in resulted. The workman was somewhat injured, one limb being paralyzed, but Mr. Irwin did not learn whether the injury would prove serious or not. J. M. Patton, who went to school iu Rensselaer more than twenty years ago and wjio had relatives in Remington and Coodland, was in Rensselaer a short time Tuesday. He is now the editor of The Odd bellow World, published at Sioux Falls, S. Dak. It is a monthly magazine for Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and circulates mainly in South and North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Mr. Patton was on his way to Atlanta, Ga., to attend a convention of Odd Fellows.
B. Forsythe was in Rensselaer a short time Wednesday, coming down from Chicago on s the afternoon train. He reports Mrs. Forsythe as getting along splendidly and it is thought she can ,be removed from the hospital in about two weeks. Mr. Forsythe was buying new goods in Chicago. He is shipping his stock from Brook to Oxford, and will also ship the winter goods there which he has stored in the basement of hiß residence property in Rensselaer.

The Remington Press is now running as a democratic paper and carrying plate matter sent out by the democratic state committee. In view of Brother Babcock’s statement several months ago that the democrats of Jasper county were well satisfied with his paper, it seems queer that there are three other democratic organs in the county, viz. The Rensselaer Democratic-Sentinel, the Wheatfield Review and the Remington Press. It looks as though there would be a division of the claim for patronage from a political staidpoint.

Brook Reporter. It Is said that at some time in life a strong temptation will be placed in the path of every man. Such a one was placed in the path of our I estimable prosecutor, Fred Longwell, last week, and he showed the stuff he was made of by throwing the temptation aside withoyt a moment’s hesitation, but his manhood deserves unlimited praise, for many of us in his place would have fallen. The Liberal League of Indiana, or calling themselves such, but really a combination of brewers and- brewery interests to fight the local option law of Indiana, sent a signed sontract with references to Mr Longwell, offering to pay him the sum of SSO per day from now until election to stump the state and deliver lectures advocating the doctrine of the Liberal League. To a man of Mr. Longwell’s oratorical ability who is earning the munificent sum of $2 per day as prosecuting attorney of this judicial district, this looked like the uncovering of a gold mine. But this prosecutor of the counties of Newton and Jasper has more pure gold in his make-up than all the wealth of the brewery kings combined, and he never hesitated in turning down the lure. But, it can be said that the liquor interests of Indiana recognize the ability of Mr. Longwell, and had he accepted the offer they would have placed him in a position to reap more gold in the next few years than he probably can earn in a lifetime, but he had the nerve to say, “Satan, get thee behind me.” The people of this judicial district should take off their hat to Mr. Longwell; he is deserving of it. When you consider the point, how many of us would have turned down a job of fifty dollars a day? The corner from which the “noes” would come "Would undoubtedly grow rank in the rag weeds.

While chasing a cow at his farm he ran into a barbed wire fence and cut a severe gash on his upper lip, severing an artery. The artery was tied together and three stitches taken to hold the gash together on his lip. The injury was painful, but will* probably not-prove serious.

'Survivors of the 87th Indiana Regiment will reune in Rensselaer next Thursday and Friday, Sept. 22nd and 23rd, and arrangements are being made to make the reunion a great success. C. P. Wright has been very active in the preliminary arrangements and wherever the addresses of the members of the regiment could be learned invitations were sent urging them to attend the gathering. There are quite a number of survivors in Jasper county and other soldiers and citizens generally are aiding in the arrangements in order that the affair may be pleasant for all who attend. On Thursday, Sept. 22nd, a big dinner will be served in the court house yard. Mrs. C. A. Roberts has charge of this feature and all are urged tp bring well filled baskets and to help make the event a splendid one to dwell in the pleasant recollections of the soldiers who participate in it. In order that late arrivals may be served the dinner will not be cleared away until after the 3:13 train. That night a big camp fire will be held in the armory, which has been donated for the purpose.
Judge Darroch, of Kentland, to Try Case Against Commissioners,
The attorneys for the state and the defense having failed to agree on a judge to hear the case of the State -vs. Clinton L. Bader, et al, being the case against the commissioners of Jasper county, Judge Hanley appointed William Darroch, of Kentland. Owing to the fact that all the courts are in session in neighboring counties it was impossible to get a regular judge at this time and the defendants were anxious that the case should be tried at this term of the court. Mr. Bader asked for a change of venue from the court, meaning to disqualify Judge Hanley. He acted separately from the commissioners, all of whom would have been glad to have had Judge Hanley try the case. The matter of separating it and trying Bader separately was suggested, but Judge Hanley thought this would be impossible owing to the fa& that the session is certain to be crowded and that the cases would be thrown over to the next term. The cases will now be tried jointly, coming up Monday, Sept. 26th.
Brook Enters a Protest Against Costly Examination of Records.
Two accountants have, been at work on the books of Brook and the town board, following the example of Morocco, has filed a protest with the county auditor against payings them. These men get $lO per day each, and they stay long enough in each town to make a cost of from S3OO to SI,OOO which is a heavy burden on the taxpayers. The Brook Reporter says they are delving back to the period when Columbus reached the shores of the coast of America.
The Republican has always opposed the method of operation of the state board of accountants, as well as the unreasonable expense, and we firmly believe that the head of the board has no right to inflict an expense on a small municipality without authority from the business head of the corporation. It is a shame and should set every person against the law. Wednesday’s Indianapolis News tells of trustees who have been compelled to make settlements on the bssis of the findings of these accountants. One paid back $14.09 and another $13.50. It no doubt took two accountants two days each or more, at a cost of not less than S4O or SSO, to dig up these little mistakes. It looks like mighty bad business and we don’t expect the people of Indiana to endorse it.
