ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Born, March 29, to Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Alter, north of town, a 9J pound boy. The Indiana democratic editorial association will meet at Madison, May 18 and 19. Supt. Hamilton has our thanks for a copy of the report of the State Superintendent of Instruction. The articles of association of the Jasper Public Library were filed with the Secretary of State Wednesday. J. H. Allman, the newly appointed assessor of Carpenter tp., and Ed. M. Green were in the city yesterday. Advertisers should bear in mind that The Democrat has a larger circulation among the farmers than any paper published in Jasper count} 7 . Ed McDonald, of Sitka, White county, fell under a Panhandle train at Reynolds last Friday and ; his right arm was cut off between j the wrist and elbow. E. G. Half has traded his interest in the feed and hitch barn at this place to James Masker for the latter’s interest in thy Haff & Masker barn at V alparaiso, and the former will probably locate at Valpo. Dr. I. B. Washburn tests eyes for. glasses 1 y the latest methods. The best lenses put in any desired j frame. It does not pay to ruin \our eyes with improper and cheap lenses. Satisfaction guar-: anteed wlu n possible. ~ The printing contract for 60 copies of ‘ by-laws and ordinance governing the Fire Jfpiirtment,” was never submitted to The Dem- i ocrat at all. Not having seen the proposed work no estimate or price can be ventured but this may be a chance to save a few dollars to the people. The Democrat editor acknowledges receipt of an invitation to attend the nineteenth annual commencement of the Indiana Dental College, University of Indianapolis, on the evening of April 6th, at English opera house. A. H. Littlefield of Remington, is one of the graduates. About the worst blizzard of the winter —it is still winter here — came Wednesddy night and continued until Thursday night, accompanied by as heavy a snow fall as came at any time during the winter. Yesterday was quite warm and the snow was fast disappearing as we went to press. Mitchell, Ind., is in hard luck. Last Wednesday the post office WBB robbed of S7OO in registered letters and stamps. Only a short time ago a like amount was taken by robbers. Two hundred dollars reward is offered for the apprehension of the thieves. .No arrests have yet been made in either case. The great artery of commerce connecting Nubbin Ridge with the metropolis of Jasper county is now so congested with mud that little if any thing is being hauled over it. In consequence a wood famine is imminent. And Bro. Marshall hasn’t this abominable March weather under control either. All mail matter is now weighed and this operation will continue 30 days. Upon the result compensation of railways and routes of through mail matter is determined. Chas. F. Grow, of this city, a newly appointed mail clerk, is officiating as weigher on the P. F. W. & C., between Pittsburg and Chicago. A few cigarette fiends have been very free about distributing these abominations among themselves. The law of 1897 covers all offenses of giving away, selling or bartering, wrappers, cigarettes etc., to miners, and the penalty is not less than $lO nor more than SSO for the first offense. Imprisonment may be added to the second or subsequent offense. i. ■
