Easter Millinery Opening, Apr. 11,12,13,14. Everybody invited. Meyer Sisters. The amount of unloaned school fund on hand in. this county April 1 was Tell your neighbor to subscribe for the taxpayers’ friend, The Democrat. It gives all the news. To-day’s Rensselaer markets (all top prices): Wheat 65; corn 36; oats 24; rye 45. One year ago today the prices were: wheat 60; corn 30; oats 26|; rye 40. The democrats of the CarrollWhite judicial circuit have nominated C. R. Pollard of Deldhi, for Judge and D. H. Moulds of Wolcott, for prosecuting attorney. It’s too bad the way our republican brothers will quarrel over the offices. If some means could only be devised by which they all might have office how nice it would be. The Rev. Thomas Campbell of Chicago, who preached at the Presbyterian church last Sunday, will conduct services again tomorrow, Easter. A cordial invitation extended to all. The Sabbath School will give a special Easter entertainment in the* morning at the reguler Sabbath School hour, 9:30.

The republican “lawless mob” senatorial feud waxeth warm. The Coover faction have secured affidavits from some of the Newton county delegates, whom they claim were voted by the chairman of the Newton delegation for Wolcott, against their wishes, and to an outsider it looks as if the thing was now up to Newton. We are informed by a prominent republican who is in a position to know, that Dr. Bell of Hammond, has withdrawn from the representative ticket, and that as soon as the political horizon of Jasper and Lake clears up a bit a new convention and love feast will be held, at which time Jasper will try to eave one of the whole number of district offices she started out so gaily to fill.

Not much business of special importance has been done in the circuit court this week except that pertaining to probate cases. A new state case has been filed against the old man Dluzak, charging him with the larceny of a suit of clothes; alleged to have been stolen from Fendig’s store in this city about a year or more ago. Of course one of the May’s is the prosecuting witness—George May, we believe.

Dr. Dessler says that he has received a very flattering endorsement of the play, “A Broken Heart,” which he wrote last year, from Wormser & Smith, a well known Chicago theatrical concern, who wish him to join the company and take part in the play. They will put several thousand dollars in the play in the way of scenery, etc. In the event of Mr. Dessler not engaging himself with the company, he will receive a royalty. The matter will be settled by the end of May. Interest has again been revived in the proposed Kendallville-Gil* man railroad. Mr. Tenney, who was here last fall, in the interests of the proposed line,has been seriously ill for the past three months and but little has been done during that time. He expects to now get to work in the matter of right of way, surveying, etc., and that a large portion of the load will be built this season. He sent Mr. R. A. Hamilton, a civil engineer of Goodland, here this week to look over the field and tell the people that Mr. Tenney would soon be here in person to talk to them. This railroad would be about 125 miles in length and would connect with a number of trunk lines, both east and west It would be the best thing for Rensselaer and JasKr county that has yet presented elf in the wav of a new railroad project and we have no doubt that the promoters will find our people ready and willing to do anything in reason to secure the road. —■ Subscribe for The Democrat.
