Jasper County

Jasper is the second largest county in Indiana, having an area of 570 square miles. Population of Jasper County, 14,505; Popuation of Rensselaer, the County Seat. 8,256. Jasper county has gained 3,107 in population, srirare 1800; Rensselaer gained 800. Fine ■arming and stock raising county. Corn.JOats, Wheat and Hay are principal crops. Onion. Stagar Beet and stock growing largely in Northern portion of County. Fine Lubricat*g Oil is also found in northern portion and hundreds of wells are now producing while •thers are being put down. Price of land ranges from $25 to SSO per acre in northern M*rt of county, to SOS to SIOO per acre In cental and southern portion.

A negro was burned at the stake in Barlow, Fla., Wednesday for the usual crime. Perhaps Hanna doesn’t intend to be a candidate in 1904, but his joining the G. A. R. looks very suspicious. A Chicago professor says that a man who parts his hair in the middle is a degenerate. We’ll let it go at that. Well, the Confederate meeting at Memphis did not have the pension Commissioner problem to light over, anyway. Well, anyway, the printing press has followed the Hag. Manila is turning out tons of public documents nowadays. The War Department says that the thievery in the Philippines is "largely technical.” It is to be Sloped that the imprisonment will not be likewise. The Ilnilpf] kluproma ©onrt hflß rendered if« decision on the Porto Rican tariff policy, and the Porto Ricans are now wondering where they’re at. George H. Healey, former editor of the Brookston Gazette, is now at the head of the Rensselaer Republican, and has leased the Gazette plant to E. W. Tucker.— Indianapolis News.

The Christian Scientists have gone to tho limit in Chicago, where a woman was permitted to die in childbirth while her husband sat by and prayed—but allowed no one to give her the least assistance. Why should Mr. Hanna call attention to his pre-election declaration that “there are no trusts.” Have not subsequent events —to «ay nothing of the verdict at the polls —triumphantly upheld his •assertion? The practices of the pension attorneys at San Francisco are becoming an open scandal. Returning soldiers are besieged, runners offering to get them pensions for disease, real or imaginary. It’s a regular “puller in” game.

The truth is that we find Senator McLaurin’s attitude somewhat bewildering. If it is Democratic to favor ship subsidies, gold coinage and protection, we should like to know what tenets Mr. McLaurin ©eposes to leave to the Republi*otns. The strike of the machinists is really due to the tales of abounding prosperity that the Republicans have been sowing broadcast. The men want their shaae. If it isn’t there for them to get, Mark Hanna and his tribe are responsible. The polygamy-slavery-conven-*ion with the Sultan of Jolo, wdbich the administration has (maintained, was only an agreeonent, has been formerly deoooibed as a treaty in official documents of the Philippines. Thus ftbe voters get fooled. The supreme court holds that if the school trustees of a city refuse to enforce an order adopted by the «ity and county boards of health relating to children attending asdkool who have not been raocinated, they can be forced to observe the law by writ of mandamus.

Can Draw But One Day’s Pay.

It has been the custom of some circuit court judges to allow jurors pay for two days’ services where night sessions of court were held or where they were out at night in deciding a case. Judge Thompson has always held that under the law a juror could be allowed only one day’s pay, even thougji he served both day and night. The Judge is upheld in his refusal to allow additional pay for such service in a decision of the supreme court handed down last Tuesday. The case de6ided was taken up from the Deleware circuit court, where extra compensation had been allowed. The decision is handed down by Judge Dowling and holds: 1. The fee of $2 per day by sec. 1,394, R. S., 1881, to a juror while in actual attendance at court is compensation for all services performed within a calander day of twenty-four hours. 2. The fact that the juror is only on duty ten minutes in the day, or that he is on duty day and night by reason of the-jury not being permitted to separate neither decreases nor increases the amount of this per diem allowance to which he is entitled. 3. The court has no power to increase or diminish the fees of a juror, but only to find the number of days he was in attendance and the miles traveled, and an allowance of an extra day for each night the juror served is void.

It numbers about 1)00,000 with some .50,000 officers nnd teachers.

Specialists of International fame, will give their counsel and inspiration. The music of the great convention, led by the unexcelled choVister, E. O. Excell, will be worth a long trip to hear.

A few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will restore hia liver to its normal functions, renew his vitality, improve his digestion and make him fed like a new man. Price, ac cents.

0 THERMOMETER TUBES.

Process of Thoir Manufacture at Jena, Germany, Described. A most interesting account is given of the wonderful state-aided industry at Jena, where glass and lenses are made for scientists. The industry has been built up by Prof. Abbe and Dr. Schott, and has throughout been conducted by scientists whose efforts have made Jena famous among scientific men the world over. One of the most picturesque features of the Jena glass works is the great corridor where the thermometer tubes are blown and drawn. We saw the glass in process of manufacture. A boy workman caught a bit of molten glass from the furnace on the end of a blowpipe. It was hardly larger than a walnut, but by twirling and blowing and molding, it grew to the size of an orange, with the shape of an acorn. More glass was then added, and there was more rolling and blowing, and when the proper stage was reached the blowpipe was passed quickly to the brawny master workman.

He, in his turn, added glass, blowing from time to time with cheeks outpuffed until it seemed as though they must burst, and then rolling the great ball of glass on his kneading board until it looked like a huge yellow gourd. Faster and faster he worked, keeping the ball always symmetrical and yet white hot. At length he lifted the glowing mass quickly in the air, and a second workman attached hisblowpipeat thebottom. Then the two men ran in opposite directions, twirling the pipes, and blowing from time to time. From a thick, portly, yellow globe the glass thinned out quickly as the men ran apart, until it became a dull red tube no larger than a man’s little finger and nearly 300 feet long. Sometimes in drawing these tubes one of the blowers would not. only run the length of the corridor, but far outside on the hill.—N. Y. News.

AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP.

Has a Bright Future, Says a Learned Professor. It has been said that just as England has no great composer, America will never have a great scholar. Ido not believe that, says Prof. Hugo Munsterberg in the Atlantic. At the middle of the seventeenth century all the nations of Europe had great philosop h ers—E ngla nd, Fra n ce, H olland, Italy; and only Germany had the reputation of having no talent for philosophy. It was just before Leibnitz appeared on the horizon, and Kant and Fichte and Hegel followed, and Germany became the center of philosophy. As soon as the rightconditions are given, here, too, new energies will rush.to the foreground. In carefully watching year after year the students here, I am fully convinced that their talent for productive scholarship is certainly not less than, that of the best German students. Compared with them, American students have an inferior training in hard systematic work, as their secondary school education is usually inferior. With a more strenuous preparatory training behind them, and a better opportunity for productive work before them, these students would be the noblest material from which to develop American scholarship.

TO KEEP BABIES QUIET.

Peculiar Treatment of Infants in the Himalaya Mountains. That humanity can bear anything to which it is accustomed in early life is proved by the selection of sleeping places for their children by the native women living on the slopes of the Himalaya mountains. They are obliged to work in the fields for the greater part of the day, and have lighted upon this extraordinary expedient for keeping their children quiet whilst they are away from home- Before going to work in the morning they wrap theirinfantscompletely with bandages, leaving only the face exposed. Then they place them under a ledge of rock from which water is dripping. By mean* of a bamboo rod a tiny stream of water is made to fall on the baby’* forehead. The dripping of the water seems to have a lulling effect upon th* children, for they drop asleep almost immediately, and remain motionlea* until the mother* return. Then they are unwrapped, dried, and fed. The native*, Bay* Golden Day*, declare thi* aystem to be most beneficial to the child’s health, and, oddly enough, very few of thamauccumb to the treat* ment, growing up, for the most part/ into atropg, healthy men and women.
