PHILADELPHIA HAS MADE MANY CHANGES

Rev. J. P. Green Notes'Sotae of Alterations Since He Was Last There 45 Years Ago. To The Republican: Perhaps a few lines to your readers may be acceptable. Should they prove to be otherwise, in the judgment of “ye' editor,” then “ye editor’s” capacious .waste basket always stands ready to devour all such trash. It does not take the modern railway train long to cdver a thousand miles. Thirty-two hours from the time I left Rensselaer, I was sitting in the home where I am now writing. Seven hours of this time was spent waiting for trains. The Philadelphia of today is a revelation to me and it is a far cry from the city of forty-five years ago. Kike a mighty octopus the Philadelphia of today is reaching out in every direction mile after mile, and laying hold of farm after farm, transforming these into beautiful suburbs and later annexing them to the city proper. The prevailing system of city transportation forty years ago was the horse car, which long, long ago was relegated to the junk pile. There are thousands of people living here now, who were born here, yet have never seen a horse car. The old, almost universal, cobblestone pavement has given place to asphalt. Beautiful boulevards reach out in various directions, miles from the city’s center,' connecting suburbs to the business centers. The Quaker city of forty years ago was the butt of many a ridicule hurled at it by its more nervously active rival on Manhattan Island. But Philadelphia has lost much of its staid, Quakerly leisureliness and is giving New York a few lessons in the “rush business.” The “sky scraper” craze has not yet struck Philadelphia in full force, yet here and there a few buildings will compare favorably with New York’s modern bean pole structures and perhaps rival the tower of Babel in altitude. Last Tuesday I witnessed a ball game between the Phillies and the Boston team, in which the Bostonians were defeated 4 to 0. Business seems to be in a prosperous condition with plenty of work for everybody. I see very few idle men ioitering around “on the streets, while all the stores are apparently doing a rushing business. Contentment and happiness appears to be the common heritage of all. This is Easter week here and a legal holiday week for all schools. The city has been busy decorating itself for Easter. Am having a fine time renewing old acquaintanceships and forming new ones. Expect to remain here for two weeks longer and then go to New England. Yours truly, J. P. GREEN.

Arlie Rowen Writes From Ranch Near Buffalo, Mont.

In renewing his subscription to The Semi-Weekly Republican Arlie Rowen writes from Buffalo, Mont., where himself and wife went recently after spending several weeks in this county. He says: “We arrived in Lewistown Thursday night and on Monday went to work on a ranch. The winter wheat is winter killed pretty badly and we are putting it in spring wheat. The weather is warm and nice, 80 in the shade yesterday, (the 14th). Had two nice rains this week and plenty of snow in the mountains. Well, I must now send my letter to mail and I hope to be reading The Republican by next week.”

Some Items Taken From The Republican of April 26, 1883.

The Rensselaer Republican of 1883 was a 5-column 8-page paper, from pages printed at home. From the issue of April 26, 1883, the following items are taken: It was Sheriff Powell who set up the cigars this time. It was a girl born Sunday afternoon, April 22nd. Gen. J. C. Van Rensselaer, with accustomed liberality, subscribed SIOO to the jund of the Jasper County Drainage Association. Work on the new school house is to be resumed at once. Mr. Fatout, the contractor, came to take charge of the work Tuesday Cotton & Patton have sold their lumber and grain business to T. J. Sayler, who will take charge as soon as the involcingis “completed; George Sigler, of the firm of Willey & Sigler, intends going to Mount Airy next week to take charge of the firm’s new store in that new born village. Lawyer F. W. Babcock started west Tuesday morning for a look at Dakota. He will probably be away for ten days or two weeks. W. W. Watson will have charge of his business during his absence. Parker Overton, of Hanging Grove township, tried his revolver on a dog last Monday. He hit the dog and a rail, the ball rebounding and striking his foot, causing him to carefully gather it up and bring it to town for a doctor to examine. J. C. Morgan, has concluded to quit the barbering business and to try farming for a change. He thinks the out-of-door'vocation will, agree best with his health. The scene of his rural labors will be near Georgetown, Vermillion county, 111. M. F. Chilcote returned from his trip to Kingman, Kans., Tuesday. He says it is the windiest country ever created. One day in Kingman when the wind was blwing at the rate of about 60 miles an hour and the air was thick with flying sand, he asked Hie Morgan, an old Jasper boy, if the wind always blew like that. “Lord no,” says Ike, “this is nothing! Some times it blows like h —l.” The paper tells of the purchase by the drainage company of the mill dam that was used to furnish motive power for the mill then owned by E. N. Hyland. Possession was not to oe given until May 23rd and farmers were urged to bring in their grinding before that date as it would take from 30 to 60 days to put ’ the steam equipment for the mill. The Ladies Literary Society has just elected Mrs. A. Purcupile president, Mrs. M. B. Alter vice president, Miss Lydia Paris secretary and Miss Mollie Babcock treasurer. Qne of the advertisements that appeared was: Tooth Pulling Extraordinary; Our popular and successful young dentist, Dr., J. W. Horton, did about the largest day’s work in (both pulling last Saturday on record. The total number was 150.”
