CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.

At the meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee last Monday the following deleSates were selected to represent asper county at the district meeting to be held at Lafayette next Thursday: E. P. Honan and U. M. Baughman of Rensselaer; Frank Welsh of Jordan; James A. Washburn of Remington; George O. Stembel of Wheatfield; Wm. Hersh man of Walker; Nejmiah Littlefield of Fair Oaks; and C. L. Carr of Newton. The delegates so selected were instructed to choose their own alternates in the event that it should be impossible for any of them to attend. In the matter of the reorganization of county central committee, the following gentlemen were chosen for committeemen from the various precincts, to serve until their succes-ors are elected: Hanging Grove Joseph Stewart Gillam John P. Ryan Walker Thomas Callaghan Barkley, East John Kimble Barkley, West J. bn W. Norman Marion, No. 1... Lee E. Glazebrook Marion, No. 2 C. F. Stackhouse Marion, No. 3 Henry Eigleabacb Marion, No. 4 E. P. Honan Jordan John Bill Newton C 1.. Carr Keener J. W. Pinkston Kankakee T. F. Malonev W’heattield George O. Stembel Carpenter, South ...Wm. Locke t arpenter. East J. A. Washburn Carpenter, West Daniel T. O'Connor Mi1r0y............. W T Smith Union, North N. Littlefield Union, South. S A. Brusnahan The matter of selecting a county Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer was deferred to such time ns the newly elected committee may choose to meet and make selection, the old officers, of course, holding over until such time. The Northern Indiana oil and gas company of Francisville, capital SIO,OOO, was incorporated last Monday. The directors are John Bend, J. A. Engle, Alfred Whitaker, Charles Brown, Harry W. Bledsoe and W. R. Jones. The Rensselaer Republican editor poses as a better judge of a naval hero than Admiral Dewey. We have no doubt most of his readers will continue to take the judgement of Dewey in preference to that of Bro. Marshall. Especially when Dewey’s judgment is backed by the greatest men in both houses of congress.—Lake County News. President Roosevelt again gives evidence of his leaning toward that element in politics which is always detrimental to the welfare of the public. In giving the postmaster gener-al-ship to Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin, a practical politician of not very savory reputation in national and Wisconsin politics, he did not increase public confidence in his vehement civil service declarations. Now his tender and the acceptance of the treasury portfolio by Leslie M: Shaw, governor of lowa, who is notorious for the part he took in shielding the railroads from taxation in that state, so much So that the republicans themselves refused to renominate him, is not calculated to cause many bursts

of patriotical adulation from republican newspapers, and some of the democrats who have pretended to see so much to be commended in this new acquisition to the greatest republic on earth will probably see where they have made a very serious mistake in their premature slobbering over his greatness. These appointments of the advisory members of the administration come very early to vouchsafe much good for anybody except the camp-follow-ers of the worst element in American politics.

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

J. B. Workman, the tax-ferret, went to Spencer to spend Christmas with his family. New suits filed this week: No. 6252. Jacob M. Troxell vs. John Ton; note and account. Ferguson & Wilson, attys. —o — Clerk Major had a rush on marriage licenses Tuesday, no less than seven being issued. This is the greatest number ever before issued in one day in the history of the county. —o — Apropos the suit of the Torrey Cedar Co., to collect pay for telephone poles alleged to have been furnished the “Halleck Telephone Co ,” in 1900, it would seem that the former might have profited by past experience and not gotten their fingers scorched the second time, for we find among the numerous judgements against “Honest Abe,” adorning the judgement dockets of Jasper county, one for $93.04 in favor of the Torrey Cedar Co., and against Abraham and Ransom Halleck, rendered Nov. 6, 1896. This judgement is still unpaid and unsatisfied, like many, many others against the same parties. —o Marriage licenses: Dec. 21, David E. Grow to Maggie McGlinn. Dec. 23, Franklin H. DeMoss to Minnie Al. Robey. Dec. 23, Charles E. Thompson to Minnie A. McMurray. Dec. 24, James E. Moore to. Maud Lowman. Dec. 24. Harry Rishling to Cora May Smith. Dec. 24, William R. Rainford to Lola M. Besse. Dec. 24, George S. McEwan to Lelia D. Middleton. Dec. 24, Franklin Earl Duvall to Adeline May Chilcote. Dec. 24. Benjamin F. Edwards to Mary E Rowen. Dec. 24, Edward W. Irwin to Nina Sweet. Dec. 26, Horatio C. Nichols to Leona M. Flynn. Dec. 26, George T. Williams to Barbery Ann Guthrie.

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS.

Jacob Litt is compelled to withdraw his gorgeous production of “The Price of Peace’’ from McVicker’s Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 11, to make way for the coming of Blanche Walsh in “Jandice Meredith,” and this in spite of the fact that the big Drury Lane melodrama is packing the theatre to the doors. “The Price of Peace” is the most splendidly staged play that has ever been seen on a Chicago stage and nothing touching its magnificence has ever been brought to America prior to the coming of this Raleigh play. The exquisite pictures which the action of the story bring into view—pictures which are a wealth of color and movement and which have wonderful educational value because they make the spectators know London as it is in life —the fiery eloquence of the third act with its great House of Commons scene and the debate on the murder ofOstadine; the thrilling close of the play with the steam yacht “Marigold” sinking beneath the waves and carrying within its cabin Marcus Benton, the rich conspirator of the play, the superb gowns worn by the women, the great crowds of supernumeraries, the fine acting of Margaret Fuller, Anna B. Sutherland, Marion Elmore, Margaret Dale Owen, J. H. Gilmour, Louis Masson, Henry Bergman, E. J. Ratcliffe and a score of others—these are the things which have made this production of Mr. Litt's memorable and almost unique in Chicago theatrical annals. Not alone is the play a gorgeous pageant, it is a well made and finely acted play, and its success at McVicker’s is one of the deserved rewards for daring. “The Price of Peace” is perhaps the most expensive play ever nut on in Chicago. The salary list is enormous and the bills for lighting, scenery, stage hands, costumes are things to marvel at. But it is all given for SI. The run of this great Melodrama will [end Saturday, Jan. 11. | Don’t be imposed upon by taking substitutes o&ered for Foley’s Honey and Tar. Sold by A. F. Long.
