Phillips, the defeated republican candidate for treasurer of White county, will contest the re-election of Treasurer James Stockton. Stockton’s majority over Phillips was but 9, and it is said that there are 75 contested ballots. The latter thinks that a recount of these on a judicial interpretation will give him the office. One Charles VanArsdal gives notice through the Barnacle that he will ask for a liquor license at the December meeting of the county commissioners to conduct a saloon at Gifford, whore another applicant was knocked out at the November meeting. It is evidently the intention to wear out the remonstrators of Barkley tp., by the same tactics as those employed in getting a saloon at Kniman. The Womens Relief Corps, Milroy Circle and G. A. R.. suit in circuit court will be dismissed on petition of the Relief Corps. The Relief Corps have removed all their furniture from the Post Hall in the court house and have stored the same until they secure a suitable room for a lodgo hall. It seems that after this suit was begun it was found that neither of the orders had filed any articles of association, therefore they bad no legal standing in court.

AN UNGRATEFUL ACT.

Robert Zlck Resigns As Trustee of Walker Tp., Thus Oiving Republicans Majority of Trustees and Insuring a Republican County Supt. Robert Zick, heretofore considered qne of Walker township’s most honorable citizens, on Thursday gave the democrats of Jasper county the-hardest blow ever administered by any man that ever affiliated with that party. Zick went into 0 the democratic convention and worked for the nomination for trustee of Walker tp., on the democratic ticket, worked for the election, was elected, qualified apd; took charge of the books on Monday or Tuesday of this week, we believe, and on Wednesday came down to resign the office. As soon as the democrats here learned of his intention they went to him and importuned him to hang on to the office; they showed him what his resignation meant to the people not only of his own township who had worked zealously to elect him but to the democrats all over the county. Nearly all the representative democrats in Rensselaer plead with him to reconsider the matter, but they might just as well have talked to a post. He was told of the boasts that had been made by republicans that they would buy off one of our trustees or get him to resign, thus breaking our quorum; that it was a duty he owed to himself and family as well as the democrats to do nothing of the sort contemplated. To all these pleas Zick said scarcely a word, and the only excuse mnde for not retaining the office was that “he thought he might not like it.” This conclusion seems to haye been reached very suddenly after getting charge of the office, and he must pardon the public if it should construe his sudden and uncalled for resignation to other motives. The Democrat believes no condemnation can be too severe in this almost unparalleled case of treachery. It is one of the most ungrateful and selfish betrayals of confidence that has ever come to our notice. The appointment of Zick’s successor lies with the county auditor and it is quite probable that the republican candidate in the late election will be given the appointment. That the appointee will be a republican there can be no doubt, and no pne can blame the republicans for appointing a republican; it is their right and privilege, and that is all there is to it.

Thanksgiving Services.

Thanksgiving services will be held in the Prespyterian church Thursday evening, Nov. 29, at 7:30 o’clock. The sermon will be preached by the Rev. Clarence B. Royse. This change in the time from the usual morning hour for such service, Ims been made to accomodate those who have hitherto found it inconvenient to go in the morning. It is hoped that all our citizens may tako intorest in this, and it is earnestly desired that all general business be suspended on that evening as early as 7 o’clock, so that all persons thus employed may attend this service. Clarence B. Royse A. Golden Work A. L. Ward.

Obituary.

Mary Ellen Moore, daughter of William J. and Clara Moore, was born December 1, 1896, in Jasper county, Ind., and died November 18, 1900, at 8 o’clock a. m., at the home of her Grandfather Moore, of the much dreaded and often fatal disease, diphtheria, aged \ years, 11 months and 18 days. Toward the last her suffering was intense, but she bore it with patience and fortitude, and was conscious to the end., All was done tor her that kind hands and loving hearts could do, assisted by a kind ana faithful physician; but it was of no avail, death claimed her and the Lord took her in his tender embrace and beautiful borne. Mary was a remarkably bright and lovely child, made the home bright and cheerful. Although her parents and many relatives hearts are filled with sadness at her eai Iy departure, yet they weep not as those that have no hope; but look, by an eye 6f faith, to the time when they will greet her on that beautiful plain where parting will be no more. The funeral was private and interment made

in Weston cemetery.
