Silas Swain, of Morocco, dropped in on us today. He was the defeated candidate for sheriff of Newton county.

SnteNd January 1, 1897, aa ■•oond-olaia mail matter, at the port-office at Banaaalaar, Indiana, under the act of March 3, 1878.

In the presence of fifty'guests, the immediate relatives and a few friends of the bride at 12 o’clock this Thursday noon, at the home of Mrs. Anna Tuteur, at the corner of Division and Cornelia streets, occurred the marriage of her oldest daughter. Miss Lena, to Mr. Charles Howard Park, a graduate of Purdue University, and a civil engineer at present employed in concrete construction work at Oakland, Cal. The ceremony was per formed by Dr. R. D. Utter, a former pastor of Trinity M. E. church in Rensselaer. At just 12 o’clock Mrs. Van Grant at the piano started softly the strains of Mqndelshohn’s wedding march and Master Williard Tuteur, son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Tuteur, of Chicago, bearing the ring, led the bridal party from the library through the sitting room to the parlor. Behind him were the groom and the best man, Mr. Herman Tuteur. Next followed the bridesmaid, Miss Maurine Tuteur, and then came the bride, accompanied, by her eldest brother, Mr. C. Arthur Tuteur. Suspended from the ceiling at the south side of the parlor was a large white wedding bell and the groom having halted beneath it, Arthur Tuteur accompanied the bride to his side and gave her away by an affirmative bow to the groom. Dr. Utter stepped in front of the pair and in a short ceremony, in which the ring was placed on the finger of the bride by the groom, they entered into the matrimonial bonds. The house decorations were smilax only. The bride was dressed in white and carried a large boquet of white bride’s roses. The bridesmaid was dressed in pink and carried pink roses. The groom and his attendant wore black. After enthusiastic well wishes had been bestowed upon the bride and groom by the guests all were seated and a ten-course dinner was served. The bride was assisted at the wedding by a number of her closest young lady friends, as follows: Mrs. Van Grant, Mrs. Cleve Eger, Mrs. W. H. Brenner, and Misses Blanche McCarthy, Beatrice Yates, Gertie Leopold, Helen Lamson, Fannie Porter and Martha Parkinson.

The out-of-town guests were Mr and Mrs. Isaac Tutuer and son WilHard, of Chicago; Moses Tuteur and Mrs. Harry Stern and children, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Albert Weil, Mr. George Spangler and Mrs. Bertha Wildberg, of Peoria, Ill.; Mrs. Samuel Bass, of Lafayette, and Miss Marie Graham, of Ligonier. Mr. and Mrs. Park will depart on the 6:02 train this evening for Chicago, and will start from there tomorrow evening for Oakland, Cal., where they will reside. The bride was one of the most popular young ladies in Rensselaer and they will take with them the best wishes of all who knew her. The groom is successful in his profession, that of civil engineer, and the company with which he is employed, has entrusted him with the general supervision of concrete construction in several large contracts.

Our Motto—“ Prompt service and the l?est possible goods.”—Maines & Hamilton. If you want some flne brandy for Thanksgiving buy fruit cakes at Fates’ Bakery. George Colvert continues very poorly and is apparently sinking a little each day. There now seems practically no chance for his recovery. A marriage license was issued from the office of the Daviess county clerk in Washington, Ind., Wednesday afternoon to Richard Henry Brewer, 65 years old, a resident of Martin county, and Josannah Teresa Nolan, 59, of Washington. Four former wives of Brewer have died. This is the first matrimonial venture for Miss Nolan. Gov. Marshall Thursday appointed Charles A. Greathouse, of Indianapolis, superintendent of public instruction to succeed Robert J. Aley, who leaves the office next Saturday. Greathouse was elected superintendent at Tuesday’s election, but his term does not begin until next March. Aley resigned to become president of the University of Maine. Virgil Berry, a graduate of the law department of Indiana University, who is teaching school at Winamac, has been made the defendant in a law suit alleging breach of promise.

POPULATION OF INDIANA HAS INCREASED 184,414.

Increase in 87 Connties and Decrease In 55—Greatest Increase In City Of Indianapolis. ; .

Jasper county was not the only one in the state to have a falling off in population within the past ten years. It was, in fact, with the majorities of the counties of the state in that respect, for while 37 counties made gains, there were 55 that made losses. In the matter of the per cent of gain, Lake county was the largest, having increased 118 per cent. Marion county, including the city of Indianapolis, made the largest population increase, being 66,434, but the per cent of gain was only 33.7. Newton county made an Increase of 56 in ten years, but White lost 1,536, Carroll lost 1,983, Pulaski lost 721, and Benton lost 435. Practically all the counties containing large cities made an increase, which shows thatthere is a tendency toward the cities and against tlie agricultural sections. Some ofthecouties in the gas belt containing large towns show a loss, due to the removal of factories following the failure of natural gas. The tenth congressional district by this census had a population of 254,001. The present basis of congressional representation is one member of the lower house of congress for each 194,182 people. It is probable that congress will Increase the number represented in order to prevent a greater number of members of congress. At what the figure will be established is merely conjectural, but it is probable that the increase of 184,414 in Indiana will be enough to maintain the thirteen districts. A rearrangement, however, will have to be made and it is almost certain that Jasper county will be separated from either the south or the north ends. If Tippecanoe and Warren counties were taken away it would still leave the district with a little more than 200,000 population, and if Lake county were taken away Porter and Laporte would have to go too, owing to their geographical location and the combined population of those three counties is about 150,000. This would cause other counties to be added to bring us up to the required population and it is probable that Jasper county will have some new associations after the gerrymander is through. Notwithstanding the fact that 55 counties in the state had a decrease and only 37 a gain, there was a total increase in the state that brought the population from 2,516,462 to 2,700,876, a gain of 7.3 per cent.

A later report, however, denied this and the morning papers state that he has passed the crisis and has a chance to recover.

Erastus Peacock is reported to have resigned as a mall clerk and to have thus made good his alleged threat that he would do so if he were required to pay alimony to his wife, from whom he was living separate.

He is said to have defualted on his last month’s installment to his wife, which he was ordered to pay by the court. You are going to buy your Fur Overcoat soon.

Fine Corn Raised On the Old McCoy Union Township Land.

A. W. Sawin, who last year purchased the former McCoy farm in Union township of John Eger, has raised on it some of the best corn we have ever seen and the result is a proof that the land In Jasper county is hard to beat for corn growing and also shows that a careful seed selection has a big bearing on the kind of corn produced. Mr. Sawin last week brought to the Republican office three ears, or rather, he let us select three ears out of a bushel that is the best while dent corn we have seen in many years. He also brought with him that day one mammoth ear that weighed 2 pounds and 10 ounces. This ear had been exhibited at the Parr Fall Festival and real estate agent, George F. Meyers, had taken such a fancy to it that he contracted for the ear, paying 1 cent a grain. There were 1,560 grains on the ear and Mr. Meyers paid $15.60 for it. A bushel of corn at this weight would consist of 26 ears and a;

this price would bring $405.60 a bushel. A Hope, Ind., paper relates the sale of some high priced corn at the Masonic sale at Edinburg, when 15 ears were sold for S3O and 180 ears sold for $l2O. The price Mr. Sawin received was far greater and it is probable that no corn raised in Bartholemew county is any better, if as good, as the corn Mr. Sawin has raised, and Jasper county can hold its head up good and high in the matter of corn. It is interesting to know that the Rensselaer poultry show has decided to couple with its show this year a corn contest and exhibit and every farmer should help make it a success. No chance of a disappointment if you buy your fur coat this week of Simon Leopold. Do yourself a good turn; see the large assortment we have, and compare the prices.
