The case of Jacob F. Heinzman vs. the Board of Commissioners of Jasper county, the old court house extras case which has been pending in the White circuit court for the past two years, was again continued at the present term of court in that county. The case of Patrick Halligan of this county, vs. Wm. H. Coffman et al, also pending in the same court, was taken to Carroll county of venue.

Theodore George, who was editing the Journal during the regular ed’s absence from editorial strifes, in the land of razor-backs and pretty Creole girls, is quite a singer, and any defects in The Democrat’s news columns the past few* weeks are due to failure of the brick wall separating us from the Journal being thick enough to prevent the dulcet strains of Dode’s favorite ballad, “Jerusalem,” from entering our sanctum. We can stand Clark’s whistling, but —

Peterson, have opened up a shop or Liberal Corner, corner of Washington and Front streets. General paint and wall-paper store. Blushes and tools of every description that belongs to the trade. We are prepared to do all kinds of painting, paper-hanging and decorating. Dr. S. H. Moore has begun suit in the Jasper circuit court against J. A. Lamborn and Dr. Jacques Dessler to collect a note alleged to have been given by the former to Dr. Dessler and which Mr. Lamborn pronounces a forgery. Dr. Moore purchased the note of Dr. Dessler some time before the latter left here. We understand that some who have examined the signature pronounce it that of Mr. Lamborn. il Among the prominent newspaper men and printers who attended the editorial reunion here last Tulesday were: A. B. Crampton of the Carroll County Citizen; A. B. Clarke of the White County Democrat; C. M. Reynolds of the W T hite County Independent; Lewis Reprogle of the Monticelio Herald office; Ed Steinbach of the Kentland Democrat; W. D. Harlow of the Monon News; W. H. Robertson, of the Wheatfield Telephone, and J. B. Whitehead, manager of the American Press Association at Indianapolis. Editor Clarke’s absence oh important buoiness (?) in the south was regretted. Messrs. O’Haley of Brookston and O’Ragon of Lowell, were also in the city that •day but as they hardly felt at home in a gathering of experienced newspaper men, held aloof from the rest of the fraternity.

The Apologist man now jumps on Mayor Eger because Mr. Eger suggested that bids be received for city printing, etc., thus saving a good lump of money eaoh year for the people, and thinks another great saving might be made by reducing the regular meetings of the council to one each month. Now we have always noticed that the Apologist man is much in favor of letting printing to the lowest bidder when there is any comes up that The Democrat is entitled to, but raises his hands in holy j horror when there is any talk of getting bids on work which he thinks he has a cinch on. How ! about the Apologist’s prices for printing, anyway? At the letting |of the county stationery contract his bid was $140; the county gets . it from another at slOl, or 40 per cent less. The late printing con- ! tract for the bar docket he wanted |45 cents per page for; tbe county gets it of The Democrat for 39 cents. A few weeks ago at the j suggestion of our “honorable may- | or,” as he is pleased to call Mr. Eger,the printing of an improve--1 ment bond was let by bids, and the Apologist's bid was sl2; the city I got a better job of another foi $5.75, or more thau 50 per cent less And so we might go on ami on , R«rawHn»»*** - •“ -.. ra .*je cuuinguown ot the ! meetings of the council in retaiiation for letting the printing on bids;five of the sixcouncilmnn are republicans, and if Marshall will . get the republicans to pass the ordinance we will guarantee that our j “honorable mayor” will not veto it

From A Former Jasperite.

Paris, Tenn., Feb. 25. Ed. Democrat:—Pleas send me your paper, I am a former resident of your county and have been herein Tenn., five years and am doing well in the merchandise business. We are hoving nice warm weather here. Most of the farmers are done sowing oats and makinggarden. The old earth is getting a green coat on and the bright spring time is crowding out the dark old winter. Yours Respectfully,

Shelby’s Beet Sugar Factory

Mr. Salter, of the Central Sugar Co., of Shelby, Ind., was here this week talking up sugar beets and trying to get our people interested in growing them. Mr. Salter informed us that the contract for the big plant at Shelby had already been let and work upon the same will begih as soon as the weather will permit. The plant will be located some few hundred feet east of the Monon railroad on the north side of the Kankakee river, and between the river and 3-1 road. The main building will be about 170 x 80 feet, four stories in height, and will be of brick and stone. The plant is to cost about $500,000 and will have a capacity of 600 tons or 30 carloads of beets per day. It will also use about 2 carloads of limestone (the company will make its own lime used in clarifying the sugar), 2 cars of coke, one or two carloads of coal, etc. Its daily output will be two to three carloads of sugar. It will employ at the factory over 200 people, and Shelby may look for a boom greater than her wildest fancies ever dreamed of. The plant is to be completed by Sept. 15, 1901, ready to take card' of this season’s crop. Mr. Salter says that prominent members of the company experimented last year with the growing of beets about Shelby and the experiments were most satisfactory. A large acre age will be put out there this year as well as in Keener, Wheatfield and Kankakee townships, in this county, and it is hoped to interest the farmers in other sections of northern Indiana in their growth. About 600 acres has already been contracted at South Holland, 11l , for this factory, and it is expected to secure altogether in various districts 6,000 acres. Mr. Salter will return here again soon and a called meeting of farmers will be had at which he will give a talk on sugar beet culture and answer all questions relating thereto. It is hoped that tho farmers of Northern Jasper especially, will encourage this mammoth industry which, while located just across the line in Lake county, will be of much financial benefit to them in various ways.

To Oust the O. A. R’s.

Suit has been commenced in the Jasper circuit court to oust the G. A. R. Post from their quarters in the new court house. The title of the case is Fitz W. Bedford a taxpayer of Indiana, vs Abraham Halleck et al. It will be remembered that soon after the completion of the new court house the county commissioners dedicated certain rooms to the use of the G. A. R. and W omen’s Relief Corps, something which they had questionable power to do, as the supreme court Ims held in the 144 Indiana, page 107. The G. A. R. and W. R. C., and a part of the time the Milroy Circle, have occupied the rooms since the completion of the court house. The internal disturbances in the two latter orders finally resulted in the W. R. C., moving out, and it is probable the present suit is in some way connected with this fracas. The final result of all this pquabblo will no doubt be ths ousting 01 duu ! library, which well posted lawyers contend has no more legal rights there than the lodges. The case is set for hearing next Thursday.

Library Entertainments.

A literary entertainment will be given in the east court room on the first Friday of each month by the Jasper Public Library to secure means to pay its librarian: ADMISSION.

McCOY OF IOWA.

A Careful Cattle Feeder That /lade A Test. Shenandoah, lowa, Feb. 2, igoi. The following is the weight of 70 cattle fed from may Bth to Nov. 10, 1900, 30 head being fed Acme Food and 40 head without. Each lot fed the same amount of grain feed per head daily. When they went into the feeding lots the A;me Ftd steers averaged 1036 K lbs. The ones not fed Acme averaged io4jXlbs. The cattle that were fed the Acme Food made an average gain of 75 Ids. per month. Those not fed the food made art? average of 59 pounds per month. The cattle fed the Acme Food gained 16 lbs. per« month more on the same grain of rations. Cattle weighed within a pound of each other when they went into tfre lot. Cattie were weighed seperateiy each month. (Signed) James McKoy. It is generally estimated that one bushel of corn will produce 5 lbs. of beef. Mr. McKoy’s cattle fed Acme Food gained 59 lbs per head per month. Mr. McKoy says that the cattle were fed 12 bushels of corn per month per head, which shows that the cattle not fed Acme gained within a fraction of 5 lbs. on each bushel of com. You wrll also notice that the cattle fed Acme Food made an average gain of 75 lbs. on 12 bushels of corn, which shows they digested lbs. to each bushel of corn, or digested 24 per cent, more than the other lot. Statistics show that the average steer digests 60 per cent of his feed, therefore the cattle fed Acme Food digests 84 per cent, of their feed. Where there was 40 per cent, waste on one one lot, there was only 16 per cent, on the Acme Food lot. Acme Food is sold at Kressler’s Hitch Barn.

The Circuit Court.

In the case of John and Henry Putt vs. Richard H. Putt, to have guardian appointed for the latter, the court appointed Fred D. Gilman of Goodland, guardian, and his bond was fixed at $15,000. Bond filed with John Putt, Frank Putt, Henry Putt and M. L. Humston as sureties. Said ordered to supply said ward with S3OO in cash and an amount not to exceed s7oper month. John W. Paxton vs. Simeon A. Dowell, note; judgement for plaintiff for $278.30. State vs. Frogg, the Morocco county seat election case; continued. Gifford et al vs. C. W. Baker et al; petition for new trial overruled and appeal taken to the supremo court. David Gleason vs. Samuel McGinnis et al; motion for a new trial overruled and plaintiff appeals to Appellate court. State vs. Hoops, the old 4th of July liquor selling charge- jury failed to agree, for the third time. The case will probably now be dismissed.
