OUr suits are not only made to but they are strictly handtailored and will all fit you beautiful, and all linings and front on the coats are guaranteed to wear as long and hold up as long as the suits last. C. EARL DUVALL. Walter Hughes left this morning for his home near Frankfort, S. Dak., where his father, Ephraim Hughes, moved last year. He was accompanied by hjs aged grandmother, who has bean at the county farm for several months. Walter came back to Jasper county the first of January. He reports that his father is quite well pleased there and that they had a very good crop last year. A D. Stephenson, formerly of Parr, who has been living at Upland the past winter, arrived here yesterday evening to make preparations for his removal to Florence, Mont., where his brother, Elmer E. Stephenson, lives. Fred went to Parr this morning and will at once pack and ship his household effects. Elmer lives on a fruit farm in the Bitter Root valley, south of Missoula, and not a great distance from Mr. and Mrs. Ed F. Mills. Alfred will work with his brother, whose apple orchard is new. His baby has been quite sick lately with pneumonia and this fact occasioned some delay, in his removal.

Attorney Frank Foltz lost a pig and advertised it in the Republican and the Democrat. The pig wandered out to Anton Truly’s farm north of town. The pig was brought up with republican influences but went democratic and halted at the only house in the entire section of the country that did not have the Republican in it. Thus, the Democrat got credit for finding the pig. Well, we are not surprised that any well treated pig that would break out of a pen where it had a good bed and three square meals a day would end up at a democratic house. If the pig had been in its right mind it would never have left home in the first place. John and Charles Day, of Kansas, who were called to’ Laporte by the death of their brother, George Day. are spending a few days In Rensselaer visiting their brother, William S. Day. They lived in Jasper county prior to going to Kansas many years ago. John Day went, to Kingman in 1878. At that time there were only three houses there and the country was all wild and there was no town of any consequence nearer than Wichita, 45 miles east. There were a good many hardships for the pioneers of the early days but those who stuck to it reaping the reward of their perseverance. Mr. Day lives in town, but owns a good farm and is quite extensively engaged in the stock business. Charles Day lives on a farm near Kingman and is also sharing the success that is the fortune of the persevering pioneer. The brothers will remain here until Monday, visiting the scenes of their boyhood and having a good visit with relatives and old friends. Collegian, Class A and Frat clothes now on display in blue serges, fancy, and plain, grays, tans, browns and all the latest shades and styles. C. EARL DUVALL.

Many Will Remonstrate Against Assessments for Iroquois Ditch.

The report of the engineer and viewers on the lower Iroquois ditch petition is the center of attraction with thx payers, and it is evident that there will be a great many remonstrators to the assessments. It is claimed that land owners above the lower end of the ditch dug by C. H. Sternberg & Sons will oppose the scheme quite generally and offer as an argument against it that there are not enough low lands along the river to Justify the great expense of making the improvement. They will also charge that the assessments are inequitable and that the lower lands that are expected to be benefited are not assessed as much as they should be while they will also claim, that the assessments above are too much. It is understood that a number of the remonstrators are talking of getting together and hiring an attorney to help fight the ditch on the above grounds and that the taxpayers upstream will be joined by a number from Newton county. The remonstrators will have to have their papers on file by next Wednesday, which is the tenth day after the filing of the report of the viewers. It looks as though it might resolve itself into a legal battle that would require considerable time to settle.

College Students to Present War Drama Friday Evening.

At St Joseph’s college Friday even ing -the students will present an interesting all-male character play entitled “Under the Flag.” The play will be a stirring story of New York smugglers and Cuban revolutionists and the triumph of the American flag. Father Rapp, whose ability as a director is well known, has been in charge of this performance, which as. sures its success.

Band Boys in Black Face Mimic Real “Coons” at Minstrel.

The band boys were greatly disappointed that they were not greeted by a larger audience at the theatre Wednesday night when they appeared in a minstrel performance, comprising various musical and comedy performances. Those present pronounce the minstrel quite a complete success from the standpoint of the ability of the performers. Some real live jokes were “cracked” and the audience had many hearty laughs at the comedy. The performance will be repeated tonight at the low price of 15 cents for children and 25 cents for adults.

Easter shirts, hats, hose, meckwear, top coats, underwear, and everything for the men and boys. C. EARL DUVALL.

Spitler was the assignee Of the company and has just wonnd up the affairs. It paid out a trifle over 17 per cent. —^ It got very cold last night and the U. S. thermometer at the college this morning registered only 9 degrees above zero, which was a big drop.

Tom Coburn Is Here for His Rout With Polos, the Greek.

Tom Coburn, who is slated for an exhibition handicap wrestling match with William Polos,, the Lafayette Greek, arrived in Rensselaer Wednepday evening, accompanied by his manager, J. M. Walls. Mr. Coburn is Jn reality Sam Marbarger, of Indianapolis, but for the past five years he has been wrestling much of the time under the name of Coburn. This is at times when he has matches with men of local reputation only, and he considers Polos as a man practically unknown in wrestling circles. He is apt to find the Greek a very good match, however, and, it is possible that he will find it no easy matter to throw him twice in an hour, Coburn had a match at Madison Tuesday night, winning from a wrestler known as ‘'Young Hackensmith” in a straight fall match, best two out of three. The fact that it is really Marbarger who is to wrestle will doubtless prove a great drawing card, because he is a mat artist of national reputation and people interested in wrestling will be glad of an opportunity to show the mettle of the Greek, whom many consider very clever, also. Since Coburn is the name employed In the advertising that name will be employed hereafter with reference to him. He has already opened up headquarters in the theatre and is giving all the lads that come there some “hints for wrestlers.” He will select from the youngsters the timber for Saturday night’s preliminaries. That they will show a marked improvement over past performances is certain. There will be stage seats for this match for sale at 75 cents each, and no one will be permitted on the stage who has not purchased a ticket or is entitled there by reason of being an official. The main bout will continue for an hour unless Coburn wins two falls from the Greek in less time. Coburn is a fine specimen of physical development and those who saw the Greek here realize that he is in fine shape also. That the Greek is no novice will be realized when it is understood that he has a-match at Lafayette Friday night of next week with Charley Oleson, one of the best wrestlers in the world. Interest in Saturday night’s match is increasing and it seems probable that there will be the largest audience that has attended any match so far.

Preparations Making For The Erection of Our New Depot.

Attorney FrtCnk Foltz, who is the administrator of the S. P. Thompson estate, Wednesday sent to H. R. Kurrie for delivery to the Monon railroad officials a deed for a strip of land 20 feet wide and the depth of the lots owned by the Thompson estate on Forest street adjoining the railroad The road needed this strip of ground for the construction of the new station and the driveway, and it was deeded without charge to the railroad. These lots belonged to Alfred and Simon P. Thompson jointly and' the heirs of each consented to the deed to the railroad. It is expected to begin work on the new station by the first of April and to rush the construction.

Theatre Parties Will Witness Stock Co. Play Friday Night.

The Girl from Turkey, which is this week’s attraction by Our Stock Co., and which is the first real comedy the company has put on here, will be with us Friday night. The popularity of the play at other places around the circuit has preceded the company and theatre parties are being formed for this attraction. Manager Ellis today sold twenty-three tickets to one party and it is understood that there will bs one or two other theatre partjps. The company advertises a hundred laughs in a hundred minutes, which is a lot of laughing for the money.

Heroic deeds are poor collateral to try to borrow money on. Oranges are still cheaper than apples. Some nice, Juicy seedless Navels at 20c a dozen, at John Eger’s.

Attorney Jesse E. Wilson Will Locate in Hammond.

Jesse E. Wilson, who until the 4th of March was an assistant secretary of the U. S. Department of the Interior, has decided to locate in Hammond and went there Tuesday to reht a house, having shipped his household goods to that city Monday. The extensive and growing court business there and the opportunity of employment in many of the £ood paying cases offered a big inducement and after investigation Mr. Wilson decided that it was a first-class location for him. He has rented a house on Indiana avenue and has investigated the office proposition and will locate near the court house, although he has not determined positively on a location. He will engage in practice by himself, opening up a new office. Lake county has always been very friendly to Mr. Wilson and it was that county’s vote that sent him to the legislature some seven or eight years ago. His wide experience since he has been in Washington, added to the fine start he had here in practice, will be a splendid recommendation to Hammond people who wish to consult an attorney and his growth in practice will doubtless be very rapid. It is probable that Mr. Wilson will take an active hand in politics and in this he will surround himself with many friends who will recognize in him the elements of fairness and honesty that havb contributed so materially to his success. We expect Jesse E. Wilson to grow rapidly in Hammond and recommend him to the people there as a leader in clean legal practice and good government.
