Jasper County

Jasper is the second largest county in Indiana, having an area of 570 square miles. Copulation of Jasper County. 14,202; Popuartion of Rensselaer, the County Seat, 2,256. Jasper county has gained 8.107 in population wisce 1800; Rensselaer gained 800. Fine awing and stock raising county. Corn.lOats, JWfceat and Hay are principal crops. Onion. J3«gar Beet and stock growing largely in 'Northern portion of County. Fine Lubricatag Oil is als > found In northern portion and ■fcandreds of wells are now producing while rrthrrs are being put down. Price of land wanges from #25 to #SO per acre in northern part of county, to #OS to #IOO per acre in cental and southern portion.

It won’t hurt the country very much, even though the Wall street men have robbed each other to a standstill. Why was the Hanna boom started in London? Can it be that Perry Heath went over to consult the Britishers on the subject before speaking? As a matter of protection to peaceable, law-abiding citizens we would suggest that the Rensselaer Republican office be placed undor bonds to keep the peace.

If William doesn’t lookout, he will find himself read out of the I )nrt y The trusts "that put up the money to elect ’“ ln j wi U not stand much of his ' tariff, reform foolishness. * McKinley is n good deal worried by Kruger’s proposed visit to the l nited States. He hasn’t yet had time to find out whether j his great and good friend, Eddie, VII, will stand -for it or not Durbin has issued his ✓proclamation declaring the laws (passed by the late legislnture in effect. According to the proclamation the laws went into i fleet May b>, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Tlie total appropriations by the Fifty-sixth Congress have been finally fixed at $1,440,489,438 more than the entire national debt of the United States and even more than the capitalization of the billion dollar trust. Somebody has been indulging in the old sport of ciphering out •when'the pension roll will be extinguished by the deaths of the i pensioners. As the roll still shows '« net increase every year, although >it has been some 35 years since * the war closed, it seems rather tpretnaftnre to figure on a possible '-decrease.

in auother column The Demo «rat publishes Attorney-General "Taylor’s interpretation of the new fish law. If any further evidence were needed to convince the peoEleof Indiana that the late legisiture was the “jackassedst” body over assembled in the state, the fish law of its creation furnishes ffibmidant testimony. A largely attended railroad meeting was held at the east court room last Friday night. Two propositions were submitted to our people: one a 1 percent, subsidy and no right of way and the other } of 1 per cent, and free right of way. Attorneys who hnd been employed to look into the matter stated that the Gifford subsidy was not in the way, ns the law only prophibited the voting of more than 2 per cent, to aid any one road, and which tax was to be levied in any one yenr. If this diagnosis of the law is correct a town or township might vote 2 per •cent, for new railroads every year «ven before the first tax voted is leried or collected; however, the farmer proposition—l per cent mad no right of way—was decided fa ke the best and it was the sense ml die meeting that it be accepted. Accordingly a petition has been circulated and almost unanimously signed, asking the county commissioners to cal fa special election to wote the aid asked. There is practically no opposition whatever to jgxanfing the aid, but every one is saanimous in favor of securing the road if possible, therefore the election will be a mere form.

Dimes and dollars! dollars and dimes!* An empty pocket's the worst of crimes! If a man Is down give him a thrust— Trample the beggar Into thei dust 1 * Presumptuous poverty's quite appalling, Kiaack him over! kick him for falling! If a man la up, oh I lift him higher— Your soul's for sale and he is the buyer. Dimes and dollars I dollars and dimes! An empty pocket's the worst of crimes! I know a poor but a worthy youth Whose hopes are built on a maiden's truth; But the maiden will break her vowa with ease, For a wooer cometh whose claims are theseA hollow heart and an empty head, A face well tinged with the brandy red. A soul, well trained In villainy's schoolAnd cash-sweet cash-he knoweththe rule: Dimes and dollars 1 dollarsand dimes! An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes! I know a bold and an honest man, Wh» strivea to live on the Christian plan, But poor he Is. and poor will be. A scorned and hated wretch is he. At home Ire meeteth a starving wife. Abroad he leadeth a leper's life— They struggle against a fearful odds Who will not bow to people's gods! Dimes and dollars! dollarsand dimes! An empty pocket's the worst of crimes! Go get ye wealth, no matter how! "No questions asked” of the rich, I trow! Steal by night, and steal by day (Doing it all in a legal way). Join tiie church, and never forsake her; Learn to cant and insult your maker; Be hypocrite, liar, knave and fool; But don't be poor, remember toe rule; Dimes and dollars! dollarsand dimes!

A GLORIOUS BIRTHDAY.

How Bobby Did Just u Ho Pleased tot On# Wfcol# Day. Fond Mother (to young hopeful)— Now, Bobby, darling, to-day jg your birthday, and you are 12 year# of age. To-day I mean to let you have your own way in everything, so run out and have.a good time. Bobby, in high glee, runs out to hunt up Tom Jones, while mamma goes down-town to do some shopping; and this is the conversation which follows, when Tom and Bobby meet: “Halloa, Tom, old boy!” ’ “Halloa, Bob, how is things?” “Oh! everything is lovely, an* I waß just looking for you to help me wreck the garden.” “Why, what’s up, Bob?” “Oh, it’s my birthday to-day, and ma has gone down-town, and left me to do just as I please.” “Well, if that isn’t splendid! I say, haw shall we begin?” •“Well, Tom, first I think it would b# a good joke to tie a pail to Uncle Jim’s dog!* tail, and set Fim loose in the greenhouse; and then—let’s see —oh, yes, Uncle Jim has got a can oT gunpowder up in his room, and we will take that and blow up the henhouse.” “Jumbo, hut you’ve got a head, Bob. I wouldn’t have thought of so much fun in a whole week.” Two hours later Bobby’s mamma is hastily summoned home to the bedside of her darling boy, where she finds two surgeons working over Bobby and Tom, setting a bone here, sewing up a cut there, and bandaging more or less everywhere. The henhouse is a total wreck, likewise the greenhouse, while Uncle Jim’s dog has been shot by a policeman, who thought him mad. And as mamma bends over her darling boy, smoothing his damp brow and weeping motherly tears, she softly whispers: “I might have known, Bobby, darling, that that horrid Tom Jones would lead you into mischief.” And in spite of his pain Bobby smiles and replies: “Yes, mamma, but you ought to have been here to see the fun—l—l —wish—I had a birthday—once a week—” (Faints with pain.)—London Tit-Bits. »

“BONA FIDE ‘AMERICAN.’”

Aa It Was Taught to a Foreigner with a Good Memory. Dr. William Mason tells, in the Century, a good anecdote of the violinist Remenyi. I have already had something to say of Eduard Remenyi, the Hungarian violinist who accompanied Brahms to Weimar in 1853. He was a talented man, and was esteemed by Liszt as being, in his way, a good violinist. He belonged to the class typified by Ole Bull, but did not achieve so great a reputation. He remained at Weimar after Brahms left there, and I became intimately acquainted with him. He was very entertaining, and so full of fun that he would have made a tiptop Irishman. He was at home in the Gipsy music of his own country, and this waa the main characteristic of his playing. He had also a fad for playing Schubert melodies on the violin with the most attenuated pianissimo effects, and occasionally his hearers would listen intently after the tone had ceased, imagining that they still heard a trace of it. Not long before leaving Weimar I had some fun with him by asking if he had ever heard “any bona fide American spoken.” He replied that he did not know there was such a language. “Well,” said I, “listen to this for a specimen: ‘Ching-a-ling-a-dardee, Chebung cum Susan.’ ” I did not meet him again until 1878, 24 years after leaving Weimar. I was going upstairs to my studio in the Steinway building, when some one told me that Remenyi had arrived and was rehearsing for his concerts in one of the rooms above. So, going up, I followed the sounds of the violin, gave a quick knock, opened the door and went in. Remenyi looked at me for a moment, rushed forward and seized my hand, and as he wrung it cried out: “Ching-a-ling-a-dardee, Chebung cum Susan!” He had remembered it all those years.
