Jasper County

Jasper is the second largest county in Indiana. having an area of 670 square miles. Population of Jasper County, 14,292; Population of Rensselaer, thF County Seat, 2,255. Jasper county has gained 8,107 in population ■ince 1890: Rensselaer gained 800. Fine farming and stock raising county. Corn, Oats, Wheat and Hay .are principal crops. Onion. Sugar Beet and stock growing largely in Northern portion of County. Fine Lubricating Oil is also found in northern portion and hundreds of wells are now producing while others are being put down. Price of land ranges from $25 to SSO per acre in northern part of county, to SOS to SIOO per acre in central and southern portion.

An Illinois man has been arrested for trying to kiss a stenographer. Is he to be punished because he failed? The G. A. R. wants more pensions. Last year the civil war list increased nearly two thoussand names; thirty-six years after the last shot was fired. Secretary Long wants to present a loving cup to Admiral Cervera. Why not? It would lie only his second case of honoring a man who didn’t win the battle. President Koosevelt says that McKinley’s policy will be continued. Of course it will on its broad lines but it will continued in a far more strenuous way than it has been during the past few T years, Roosevelt’s hot-headedness is sure to come to the front. There are few indications as to the attitude that Roosevelt will take towards the trusts, but it is certain that lie will find himself as impotent as President McKinley was to restrict them. The trusts interests of the Republican party are too strong for nny man to handle. Three times within the memory of men now living has the assassin's hand stricken down the chief officer of the United States. Once for sectionalism, once for personal revenge, and now, a third time, for anarchy. Is it not time to take measures to protect our presidents? The request to the members of Cabinet to retain their portfolios is of course only a temporary thing, intended to tide over the change in government. Probably all the Secretaries will vacate some time this winter, most likely soon after Congress meets to confirm the nominations of their successors. President McKinley, a life-long office holder, was bound in many ways by his record; President Roosevelt is bound by nothing. Nominated against his will, he owes nothing to those who voted for him, either in respect to offices or to polices. Seldom indeed is any President so free to follow, for weal or woe, his own course. Bro. Dunghill devotes a 1 1 «1 fcolumn of space to coming down off the editorial perch of the Brook Reporter, while Prof. Hershmnn used up four columns in ascending the heights so intellectually filled by Brother Dunghill. With a new power press and other printers’ material and an able editor, the Reporter enters upon an era of prospective greatness unsurpassed by any paper in Newton county, It will continue politically as heretofore, republican.

The ‘ Gray ease” familiar to nil two or three years ago as the suit for title to 500 or more acres in Salem township traded by Thomas Gray to some Illinois men for land in Kansas, and which was tried here before Enoch Meyers of Rochester as special judge and decided in Gray'H favor, was reversed by the supreme court a short time ago and Sent back for re-trial. Mr. Moyers was here Tuesday, ns the old trial judge, to set a time for rehearing, but the plaintiffs asked a change of venue, and the case was sent to White county. It is not known here when it will be called for trial, but probably not soon. Pulaski County Democrat.

If the New Jersey authorities had cleaned out the anarchist nest at Paterson when King Humbert was murdered by an- emissary from there, the country might have been spared its sorrow of today.

The Monon news last week published a half-tone cut of the tine new school building at that place which after many trials and tribulations is completed. The building is of brick, 103x101 feet, resting upon a solid rock foundation, and has a 7-foot basement with cement floor. The tower is 84 feet in height. The interior finish is red oak, hard oiled, and floor of hard maple. There are 15 rooms, 25x32 feet, 6 large cloak rooms, and an assembly hall, 37xfi2 feet. The building is heated by steam and is one of the finest and most commodious school buildings in this part of the state. While rather an expensive school building for a town no larger than Monon its cost is interesting when compared with our new court house and the fact that it was built when building material was much higher-priced than at the time our court house was erected. This magnificent building, of two stories and basement, all complete with cement walks, etc., etc., cost in round numbers $21,000; our court house cost $175,000.

While anarchy and the formation of societies which have for their object the overthrow government should be promptly suppressed wherever and whenever found, even these precautions will hardly put a stop to the assassination of rulers by murderous fanatics, if the history of the past is any criterion. During the nineteenth century there was hardly a country on the face of the globe that did not have one or more rulers foully murdered. Sometimes the assassans were men of low type of humanity and sometimes they were persons of high standing and intellectual attainments. Had attempts at assassination proved successful, hardly a month would have gone by without some ruler having been killed. The United States has lost three presidents by the hand of an assassin in the past 30 years. Neither Lincoln or Garfield were assassinated by an anarchist, and it would seem that the greatest protection that can be had for the safety of our chief executives is to surround their persons with a strong body guard at all times. The most prominent political assassination this country has seen in recent years at least, was that of Governor Goebel of Kentucky, who was shot down in cold blood less than two years ago, and to the everlasting disgrace of Indiana, hisalleged murderers were protected and harbored by the republican governor of this state. The exalted positions of rulers makes them the objects assassins, and it has always been thus. It is one of the penalties of greatness.

The Circuit Court.

Court adjourned Thursday morning for the week. Following is a report of the more important cases disposed of: Of the grand jury indictments, one was against young Rasmussen of Kankakee tp., but as he had already been triad and fined on the same identical charge contained in the indictment, the case was dismissed. State vs. Fred Glacken, the Wallace circus day housebreaker prisoner entered plea of guilty and was given an indeterminate sentence of two to fourteen years in the reformatory, fined SSO and disfranchised for five years. State vb. Albert Wilson; assault and battery with intent to commit rape upon the persons of Anna McGee nnd Edna Peacock; grand jury indictment. The court appointed E. P, Honan to defend the prisoner and the charge of intent to commit rape was nolled. He plead guilty to assault aud battery and was fined $25 and given 10 days in jail. This is the party arrested several weeks ago and who has been in jail since that time.

The state case against Wm. Cole of Rose Lawn, for unlawful possession of a prairie chicken, appealed from justices court, was nolle plossed on motion of the prosecuting attorney. State vs. Minnie Alvey, Josie Shea and John Webber; grand jury indictment for larceny in taking goods belonging to F. W. Bedford from the latter’s house at the time of the death of- Mrs. Hitchcock. Jurv trial lasting nearly two days; found not guilty. In the case of Bedford vs. Alvey for possession of the little son of the late Lizzie Hitchcock, the court gave the child to Mrs. Alvey and divided the costs between the parties.

The guiena “stealing’’ case from Union tp., which was briefly mentioned in our circuit court notes last week, was one of those cases in which the prosecution, it is alleged, was wholly spite work. Carl Hamacher, the young man charged with the larceny of the guienas by George W. Cover, the prosecuting party, bears a most excellent reputation in Union tp. and the uncalled for prosecution on this base chasge has only made him additional frrends. The case caused him some trouble and annoyance, like all cases of such character do, but the prompt action of the jury in acquitting him showed conclusively that there was nothing in the charge.

HONORS EASY.

Sir Francis Octavius Swafiy Meets His Equal at Last It was evident from his swagger that he was a scion of the aristocracy, and the most casual observer could not have failed to note that he was a 6t ranger to the city. He touched a well-dressed, auburn-haired young man who was lolling in front of a hotel on the shoulder. “Pardon me, my dear man, but could I trouble you for a match?” After lighting his cigar he continued: “Bah Jove, this is a remarkable city. This is me first visit to Ireland, d’ye know? I'm a stranger, but on the other side Pm a person of importance. I am Sir Francis Octavius Swaffy, Knight of the Garter, Knight of the Bath. Knight of the Double Eagle, Knight of the Golden Fleece. Knight of the Iron Cross. D’ye mind telling me your name, me dear man?” Replied he of the auburn hair, in a deep, rich brogue: “Me name is Michael Murphy, night before last, night before that, last nigh-t, to-night, and every other night—Michael Murphy.”—L udon Tit-Bits.

WHY PAY DEBTS?

On# Man Got Out of Trouble by Growing a Beard. A Cheadle man, who had the reputation of being always in debt, sat one day in a barber shop waiting for be shaved. He was lathered, when the door opened and a tradesman entered who happened to be one of his largest creditors. No sooner did the tradesman see his debtorthan he angrily demanded his money. The debtor composedly begged him not to make a scene. “Won’t you wait for the money until I am shaved?” he asked. “Certainly,” said the other, pleased at the prospect. The debtor then made the barber a witness of the agreement, wiped the lather from his face, and left the shop. He wore a beard to the end of his dayg. —London Answers.

An Absolute Monarchy.

The government of Russia is an absolute hereditary monarchy. The succession to the throne is in the male line, by the right of primogeniture of the house of Uomanof-Ilolstein-Got-torp, and only transmissible to female descendants afttT the complete extinction of the male heirs. This law of succession was established in 1797 by a decree of Emperor Paul, which annulled that issued by Peter 1., on February 5,1722. according to which each sovereign was to select his successor to the throne from among the member! of the imperial family, irrespective of the claims of primogeniture. Four empresses had preceded Czar Paul namely, Catherine 1., Anne, Elizabeth and Catherine 11. *

JAMES M’CULLOUCH PARDONED.

After twenty-nine years of confinement in the northern prison, James McCollough, who was given a life sentence on the charge of murder by the Benton circuit court, is soon to be given his liberty. The request for his parole, which has been on file for ten years, has been granted by Governor Durbin. The parole will first go to a relative and then be taken to the prison. McCullough is an old man and it is feared that the parole has come too late to do him much goo’d. If it had been granted when it was first applied for, ten years ago, the old man would have come out from behind the grim prison walls with a good number of years yet to live. For several years after the first efforts to have him paroled Mr. McClullough was buoyed up by the hope that he was soon to be allowed to walk out a free man the remainder of his days. The months of hope and expectancy merged into years and still no parole came. Feeling that he would die in the disgrace of the prison walls, giving up all prospect of ever being free again, he settled into despondency and gloom. Now the parole has been grruted, but perhaps too late. The poor prisoner has lost faith in the world and in men, and it is, the hope that he can live a few years yet, to somewhat reconcile himsel to the world again. He will be taken care of by relatives living outside of this state, who have worked so long for his release. McCullough was sentenced on entirely circumstantial evidence. His arrest was made eight years after the death of the man he is charged with murdering. By reason of this skeleton-like evidence, and his model life in the prison, the governor felt justified in setting McCullough free. The prisoner served in the civil war in an Indiana regiment. After the close of the war he lived several years in Illinois and then returned to Indiana making his home at Middletown. He was ariested nine months later on the charge of murdering W. C. Morgan, whose skeleton was found in a marsh in Benton county, where McCullough had formely resided. The body was identified by a piece of wagon bow Morgan owned at the time of his disappearance. The charge preferred against McCullough was that he bad murdered Morgnn, put his body in a wagon, the piece of which was found near his skeleton, drove the wagon into the marsh where the horse floundered in the mire, and left the horse, wagon and the body of the murdered man to sink into the earth. The board of control of the prison voluntarily applied to the governor for McCollongh’s release. It stated in its communication that McCollough has always been a model man in prison and thnt it whs their desire that he should be indefinately paroled. The application was also signed by fifty citizens of Benton county, Middleton and Michigan City.
