Jasper County

Jasper is the second largest county in Indiana. having an area of 570 square miles. Population of Jasper County. 14,203; Population of Rensselaer, the County Seat, 2,255. Jasper county has gained 3,107 in population since 1800; 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 w'hile 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.

Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, will be electrocuted the week of October 2M. Common sense should have led the anarchists to keep their hands off the United States. Now their Inst asylum will lie taken from them. The Sugnr Trust it seems, is to get a refund of half a million out of the Porto Rico decison of the Supreme Court. Thus it catches things both coining and going. Those who criticise the medical treatment of President McKinley should remember that medicine is not an exact science by any means. If it were, we should all die of old nge. The state soldiers and sailors monument at Indianapolis is paid for at Inst. To be built originally for $200,000, it has cost tin* state over $600,000. The corner stone was laid in 1800. British official reports place the increased wages paid last year to workmen in that country at S3O, 000,000. This doesen’t look much like the decay we have been bearing so much about. With the sole exception of Cleveland, Mr. Roosevelt is the only president since 1861 who did not serve in the civil war. This should mark the final passing of the,old spirit of intolerance. Three defeats in three days including a total loss of over three hundred men and several guns, is a pretty heavy blow for the Britisli to recieve from the “scattered and disorganized guerrilla bands" of Boers.

Three townships in Pulaski county voted on the question of subsidies for the new east and west railroad Inst week. The rropsition carried in Beaver and ndian Creek tps„ but was defeated in Salem tp., by 17 votes. A good Republican paper of Philadelphia declares that it is “anarchism" to expose the unutterable corruptin of the ring that runs that city. Possibly it is a fellow feeling that makes it so wonderouß kind to the ring. Lord Kitchener's remark that the Boers were so ignorant and so arrogant that they couldnt’ realize that they had been whipped, reminds us irresistably of similar remarks by the Spaniards at Santiago concerning the behavior of the American troops there. When you have a legal notice to be published, such as notice of appointment, notice of final settlement, notice of survey, notice of administrator’s or guardian’s sale, non-resident notice, or any other notice not controlled by county or township officers, bring it to The Democrat office. Our prices for this work are lower than others by reason of our setting them without any padding whatever, and we will appreciate the favor.

A DANGEROUS TENDENCY.

During the last two weeks the press, pulpit and platform have made some statements that will scarcely meet with the approbation of the people when subjected to a calm analysis. The fact that three presidents have been assassinated during one generation does not

necessarily mean that our form of government is at fault. Yet a few superficial souls have jumped to the conclusion that the whole fault lies in the liberality of our form of government. Some journals, such as the St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, which never have believed in the democratic principles, take advantage of the ignorance of some and the excitement of all to renew the old federalist battle, which was fought to a finish during the lifetime of Thomas Jefferson. Thus we find several journals following the lead of the St. Louis federalist in denouncing the men of the revolutionary generation for their refusal to acquiesce in the despotic alien and sedition laws. The other day Bishop Potter, in nn address upon the cause and cure of anarchy, made the statement that while our constitution is doubtless a work of genius, the spirit behind it was largely borrowed from the French revolution, "which did more to dignify anarchy than any other movement or event in history.” This is a mere rehash of the argum nta lint were urged constantly during the early period by the enemies of the republic. There was some excuse for such talk at that time—-none now. Then the horrors of the reign of terror completely overshadowed all the good that came from the attending purging of society, and the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity were associated with anarchy and plain assassination. Now it is universally conceded that the principles of the revolution have largely inspired the mnrveious progress of the world during the last century. They, more than anything else, have transformed the Europe of the medieval period, with its savagery and tyranny, into the Europe of today, with its deeper humanity nyd broader freedom, and. as Bishop Potter suggests, “one of them—a cardinal principle—is free speech.” The present tendency seems to be to attempt the cure of anarchy through measures of repression, such as the abridgment of the freedom of discussion. In the first place, it is nonsense to place the responsibility of the assassination of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley upon the freedom of the press The murder of Lincoln was the natural fruition of four yesrsof intestine bitterness and strife. Garfield fell at the hands of an insane wretch. The assassin of McKinley did not imbibe his anarchistic principles from the jr -ss —unless it was, indeed, the anarchistic press Every one will agree that the anarchistic press should be suspended, anarchistic literature destroyed and anarchistic discussion prohibited. But the renewed agitation in favor of such a measure a 6 the alien and sedition law, and the attempt of such papers as the Indianapolis Journal to place responsibility upon the speeches of Bryan, justify the suspicion that the abridgement of the right of discussion will not stop with anarchistic utterances Some administration organs actually declare that the government should not be severely criticised. This is passing to the opposite extreme. The most humble citizen must be lire ecled in his right to hold political opinions and express them so long as they are consistent with law and order.—-Indianapalis Sentinel.

PROFESSOR’S READY WIT.

Chandler, of Columbia, Always Gets the Best of His Classes. Prof. Chandler, of Columbia university, holds an enviable position of popularity in the minds of the alumni of that institution, perhaps, aceordipg to the New York Times, as much on account of his clever methods of turning aside student jokes as for any other reason. At the University club | a few evenings ago in a group of Columbia men several anecdotes were told illustrative of Prof. Chandler’s : ability in this direction. , It seems that one day some disgruntled member of the chemistry j division reached the lecture-room in ' good season and sought to create amusement by writing on the blackboard in a bold hand: “Chandler is an ass.” This had the desired effect, and suppressed chuckling could he heard around the room when the professor entered a few moments later at the beginning of his lecture hour. “As he walked to his desk,” continued the man who was telling the story, “the blackboard inscription caught his eye. Most of us thought he would erase it—but that wouldn’t have been Chandler. He scarcely hesitated a second, but walked overto the board and in a hand if anything bolder than the original added the word *Driver.’ The effect was instani taneous. A roar of laughter greeted the clever touch, and Chandler had not only gotten out of an awkward predicament, but had at the seme time added to his capital of popularity.” This incident reminded another of the Columbia men of the time when somebody had carried into the chemistry lecture-room a bottle of vilesmelling liquid concocted specially for the purpose in the laboratory. The atmosphere in the room when Prof. Chandler entered was well-nigh I unbearable. He detected the odor almost before he had crossed Flie threshold, and, turning abruptly, locked the door and put the key in his ! pocket. Then, walking to the desk, j he took his seat without the slightest , show of annoyance and remarked: “Gentleim n, we will enjoy this to- ! gether.”

SUPERSTITIOUS NORWEGIANS.

Their Forests, Mountains and Gorges Peopled with Fairies. Like the Japanese, the Norwegians are very superstitious, and, as in Japan, the forests, the mountains anci the gorges are peopled with fairies, 6ays W. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec-ord-Herald. Aissen is» the good fairy of the farmers. He looks after the cattle particularly, and if he is well treated they are healthy and the cows give lots of milk. To propitiate him it is necessary to put a dish of porridge on the threshold of the cow stable on Christmas morning. Whenever the family move this invisible being goes along with them and sits on the top of the loads. • In haying time he always rides on theloadsof hay.and the “bedstemoder” or grandmother in every farmhouse can tell the children dozens of interesting stories about the mischief or kindness of Nissen. He is invariably represented in pictures of farm life; he appears on the illustrated advertisements of farm machinery; his figure is carved in wood, is sold at all the curiosity stores,

and he appears as a prominent character in most of the fairy stories that deal with farm life. He is represented as a short, fat, bow-legged man, with big whiskersand long white hair, wearing a red hat like those worn by clowns in circuses. He usually appears in his shirt sleeves, with an open collar, a blue vest and knickerbockers upon his legs* which are as slim as those of a brownie. His circumference is far greater than his height and his head is almost as largeashis body. . Noek is the fairy of the waterfalls and is a sort of merman. You never see more than half his body. He is very, very old, his hair and beard are long and white and his face is always pale and pensive. He carries a harp and plays to amuse the spirits in the waterfall. A statue of Ole Bull has recently been erected in his native city of Bergen. He stands upon a pedestal which rises from a fountain, and the water flows over the head and shoulders of a Noek at the-base.

Woman's Way.

Be sure and invite all of your kin to your wadding, or they will account for their absence by telling that the* ' don’t approve."—Atchison Globe.

NORWEGIAN HOMES.

Always Clean No Matter How Poor May Bo the Otcnpante. Wholesome lodgings are to be had in Christiania and other Norwegian cities at an exceedingly low rental, pot more than 10 or 15 per cent,, o t what would be charged for similar accommodations in an American city,, lays W, E. Curtia, in the Chicago Rec-ord-Herald. They are not convenient, nor even comfortable, but they are clean. Everything in Norway is clean—even the slums, or what corresponds to them, are unlike those of other great cities. The odors are not always agreeable, but the evidences of soap and water and scrubbing are to be seen wherever a human being lives in Norway. The tenement houses have no sanitary arrangements, but the people use plenty of water and elbow grease. _ Few Norwegians suffer from poverty or privation, even through the cold and gloomy winters that are eight months long. Qur own people might die, or at least suffer seriously under the same circumstances, but the Norwegians ere a hardy race. They have inherited the power of endurance and the ability to survive hunger and thirst and cold and discomforts better than most races.

Frugality and thrift are also national characteristics. Among civilized nations there is scarcely another that is so fortunate with regard to its social conditions. There are no privileged nobility, no “capitalistic vampires,” no large estates, no millionaires, and a very slight difference, compared with other countries, between the rich and the poor. The land is divided among a large number of freeholders, who constitute the productive class and the bone and sinew of the nation. The highest stratum of society is not so far removed from the lower but that there is sympathy and reciprocity between them. The* primary school, which every child by law must attend,‘is the great equalizer, and not only insures an education to every citizen but inculcates democratic sentiments among children so thoroughly that they are never outgrown, while at ths same time it elevates the self-respect and the ambition of those who belong to the working classes.

PUTTING IT DELICATELY.

How an Employer Served Notice of Diacharge on Clerk. “There are plenty of men in thi? world,” said the head of the firm, addressing the clerk he had summoned into the private office, “who can trace their successes directly to what they at first considered failures. I knew a man who 20 years ago was a clerk in a clothing store. His employer discharged him for incompeteney. He hunted through all the clothing stores in tow n trying to get another job, but couldn't find one, and at last, almost starving, he got a place as fireman in one of the railroads. To-day he is practically the head of that road, draws a salary of £5,000 a year, and regards the man who discharged him long ago a.- the best friend he ever had. Now, he is only one of hundreds of men who have had similar experiences, so vou iee what at first seems a misfortune may often be a real blessing in disguise.”

The young man hid a yawn behind his hand, and languidly replied; “Tes; I know that has frequently happened. Do you want to speak to me about anything in particular this morning, Mr. YamslejF “Oh, no; nothing of special importance,” the old gentleman replied, “only I’m going to give you a chance to look back some day and regard me as your best friend. Good-by. I hope you’ll have all kinds of success at whatever you decide to go at.”—London Tit-Bits.

To Prevent Injury by Frost.

Injury of early fruit by frost is thought by M. Bellot des Mineres to be a result of rapid heating by the sun of the plants made sensitive by cold. He has tested his theory by building fires in vineyards at sunrise after frosty nights, and claims that in every case the slowly dissipated blanket of smpke so protected the vines from sudden change of temperature that they were not harmed by the cold. French viticulturists are planning to try fdso the firing of cannon horizontally over the ground on the approach of frost, a strip of vineyard 500 feet wide having been thua saved from damage when vines on both sides were badly injured.
