RENICKER FARM AGAIN SOLD.

pxWoodin & Agate, the Foreeman real estate dealers, have sold the old Renicker farm of 160 acres in Barkley tp., owned by Joseph Bowden, of this city, to Mr. Staufenberg, of Illinois, consideration S6O per acre. Mr. S. will not move here the coining year at least, but will probably rent it to Horatio Ropp, the present tenant. The sale of this farm again is a fair sample of the rapid raise in value of Jasper county real estate, especially in this vicinity. Two years ago Ellis Jones of Remington, bought this same farm for SSO per acre. He got one crop then sold it to Robert Randle at $45 per acre. In abont two months Mr. Randle sold to Mr. Bowden at $55 per acre. The latter has had one crop and now sells at S6O per acre. Here is a rise of S2O per acre in two years.

A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.

The Inland Printer, the leading printer’s journal of the world as well as the most artistic and beautiful work of the printer’s art published, conducts departments where newspapers and job printing is criticised, copies of papers or sample*- of work being sent in with a request that the short-comings be pointed out. Having noticed many of the more pretentious papers of the larger cities mentioned in this department, a couple of copies of The Democrat were sent in for criticism a few months ago. The September issue of the Inland Printer has this to say of our publication, which, coming as it does from the highest authority in the civilized world, we trust we will not be considered egotistical for reproducing: Jasper County Democrat, Rensselaer, Indiana. —There is much in the Democrat to commend; ads. are neatly displayed, it is nicely printed, and all details of the make-up are carefully looked after. The arrangement of the news in the issue June 14 is the best, with headed articles on the first page and the short locals on the fifth. When the latter are run on the first page a neat doublecolumn head would improve the appearance of the department. “Jasper County Gleanings; with a generous supply of crisp news items from ten towns, is a valuable feature.

A STRONG INSTITUTION.

Attention ia called to the statement of the Commercial State Bank in another column. Thia Bank ia managed by a Board of Directors that includes some of our strongest and moat experienced business men, and is worthy the confidence and patronage of the community, Especial attention is called to the farm loans, which are offered at 4| per cent, interest, with partial payment privileges.

NOT A POLITICAL ROUNDER.

But a Learned Lawyer of Wide Experience, Is Judge Darroch. Kentland Democrat. William Darroch, Democratic candidate for Judge of the 30th Judicial Circuit is well equipped to discharge of the duties of that high office. He is a graduate of DePauw University, and has practiced law in Newton county continuously since 1876.

He has built up a large and lucrative practice. The firm of which he is a member, has been employed in nearly every important law-suit tried in the Newton Circuit Court for the past dozen years. -

He is not a politician in the sense that that word is understood. He is not a rounder, in any sense. He was not a candidate for the nomination, did not attend the convention that nominated him but accepted the. nomination, not at the request of the Democratic party only, but at the request of the people generally, irrespective of party, and the people of this Circuit could not do better than to vote for him. Politics should cut no figure in selecting a judicial officer. The office is not a political office. When a man dies if he leaves any property, his estate will be settled in court, and he wants to know when living, that it will be settled before a Judge whose integrity and ability are unquestioned. Mr. Darroch measures up to this requirment in every respect.

HENRY SCORES THE “400.”

Henry Watterson, the famous editor of the equally famed Louisville Courier Journal, a few days ago referred to New York’s “Four hundred” in a two column editorial in which he classed them as a flock of unclean birds. He said in part: “The term ‘Smart Set’ was adopted by society to save itself from a more odious description. The distinguishing trait of the ‘smart set,’ is its moral abandon. It makes a business of defying and overleaping conventional restraints upon its pleasures and amusements. It sets itself above the law, both human and divine. “Its women are equally depraved with its men. They know all the dirt the men know. They talk freely with the men of things forbidden the decent and virtuous. They read the worst French fiction. They see the worst French plays. “The women of this smart set no longer pretend to recognize virtue, even as a female accomplishment. Innocence is a badge of delinquency, a sign of the crude and raw. a deformity which if tolerated at all, must carry some promise of amendment, for among these titled cyprians the one thing needful is to know it all. “In London and Paris and at Monte Carlo in the winter, and at Trouville and Aix in the summer, they make life one unending debauch; their only literary provender when they read at all, the creeds of D’Annunzio and Bourget; their Mecca, the roulette table and the race course; their Heaven, the modern yact with its luxuries and isolation. The ocean tells no tales and, as the smart set knows no law, in extremes it can go to sea. “The 400 are rotten, through and through. They have not one redeeming feature. All their ends are achieved by money and largely by the misuse of money.

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

Items of Interest Gathered in the Offices and Corridors of the County Capitol. B. J. Gifford has filed a plat of his new town of Asphaltum, on the Gifford railroad. —o — The Balhaser Brown, Chilcote and Warren ditches, are advertise to be let Sept. 26, at 1 p. m. —o— Marriage lincenses issued: Sept. 12, Leslie Shiglev to Alta E. Pike. September 13, Wm. Earl Hausman to Elizabeth S. Reeve. * —o—- “ Honest Abe’s” big tax-ferret fiasco in Jasper county seems to be at an end. Nothing has been done here for several months and it would appear that all the “minnows” having been caught, the alleged big fish were thrown back into the water as not fit food for the ferrets. The “minnows” “coughed up” a few thousands rather than stand law-suits, and for each dollar coughed up Jasper county has been out of pocket 25 cents. We wonder how the little fish that were caught relish the escape of those big gourmands of whom Abe had so much to say during the early part of this tax “investigation?”

FIFTEEN INDICTMENTS.

Grand Jury Holds Nine Days’ Session and Get Several Scalps.

The grand jury adjourned Wednesday after a session of nine days in which many matters called to their attentibn were investigated. As a result of their deliberations fifteen indictments were found, and only the dense “ignorance” of many of the witnesses is said to have prevented several more being returned. Following is the docket number of the indictments returned and the charge named, but as arrests have not been made in all of the cases, some names are left blank, not having been made public: No. 1199. State vs. ; assault and battery with intent to commit murder. No. 1200. State vs Everett Myers; accessory before aud after the fact for assault with intent to commit murder. No. 1201. State vs. ; keeping gaming device for gain. No. 1202. State vs. Wm. Jackson; drunkenness. No. 1203. State vs. ; keeping house of ill-fame. No. 1204. State vs. Wm. Tanner; selling mortgaged property. No. 1205. State vs. ; selling liquor without license. No. 1206. State vs. W. W. Burns, Clint Brown et al., removing mortgaged property. (This indictment reads, charging them with removing mortgaged property, and it is inferred includes all the alleged cattle theives, who got away with the $13,000 worth of cattle in February, 1901, on which the Halligan’s held chattel mortgages. If so, it includes ex-County Commissioner Simoon A. Dowell and several other prominent ring politicians of Jasper county.) No. 1207. State vs. Wm. McNeil; keeping gaming devices. No. 1208. State vs. Wm. Bryant; petit larcency. No. 1209. State vs. r ; selling intoxicating liquors on legal holiday. No. 1210. State vs. George A. Strick f aden; knowingly permitting gambling. No. 1211. State vs. ; keeping gaming devices. No. 1212. State vs. ; knowingly permitting gambling. No. 1213. State vs. Conrad Kellner; knowingly permitting gambling. No. 1214. State vs. ; keeping gaming device. Following is the grand jury’s report on jail and poor farm: State of Indiana J County of Jasper.)

We, the Grand Jurors, having visited the county asylum for the care of the poor, find the same well kept aud in the sanitary condition good except the water closet, which should at once be cleansed and disinfected. We also visited the county jail, and we find that it is the duty of the board of commissioners to at once change the heating apparatus for said jail. That the present arrangement for controlling the temperature of said jail is wholly inadequate, and the grand jury on their oath present that necessary improvement iuthis respect should at once be made. We also find that the plumbing, bath rooms and water closets are in an unsanitary condition, and we direct that the bath tub be removed from its present position and be placed in a position more ready of access with due privacy to the inmates of said jail. The heating and sanitary condition of said jail we direct shall at once be improved so as to make the same tenable, and a lawful and healthy place for the confinement of prisoners.

Having concluded our labors, we ask that this our report be certified to the Board of Commissioners for their action at the earliest convenient moment, Respectfully submitted.

Robinson, riding bailiff 32.50 C. W. Duvall, hack hire 3.50 J. W. Walker, short-hand reporter, 9 days. Several of the indictments are a result of the gambling here during carnival week, and it is intimated that only the defective mein-

ory of many of the witnesses saved several prominent members of Rensselaer’s sporty »“400” from similar indictments. The alleged keeper of a resort on “Smoky Row” is said to have had so many prominent patrons that she was given a quiet tip to “vamoose,” which she lost no time in doing. If the indictment which is said to have been returned against her does nothing more than keep her away from Rensselaer, it will have accomplished much good. Geo. Strickfadeu and Conrad Kellner each plead guilty to permitting gambling in their saloon yards and stated that they did not get a dollar out of it, but had simply donated their yards to theprivelege committee of the K. of P. carnival, which is universally accepted as correct. The court, no doubt realizing that they were not the ones who should have got a good taste of criminal law, only fined them $lO each and costs, about sl7 each. The “privilege committee” should make the amount up to every man indicted for these offenses.

Don’t Know What To Do With It.

We understand that the K. of P’s. have not accepted the $283 that was turned over by those who sold the gamblers the privilege of fleecing the public during the recent street carnival. A few members, be it said to their everlasting credit, are opposing the lodge’s taking this money and it has not been accepted as yet. Some say they will with draw if it is accepted. Those who are opposing the acceptance of this blood money don’t hardly know what shall be done with it, some being too conscientious to even turn it over to charity. Should the lodge accept it, and it should get to the ear of the grand lodge, we are told by one of the most prominent Knights in the state, the d—l will be to pay. We would respectfully suggest, in view of the fact that the carnival was apparently run for the purpose of promoting the interests of the republican judicial “candidates,” that this blood money be turned over for use in the republican judicial campaign. From what we know and have seen of of the fellows who are managing that part of the ticket, we do not believe they will have any qualms of conscience over taking it, and. bear this in mind, they will need every dollar of it.

PUBLIC SALES.

If you are thinking of holding a public sale, remember that The Democrat office is the proper place to get your bills printed. We get up a nice, neat bill and give a free notice in The Democrat with each set of bills, and, as the Democrat is read by more farmers in Jasper county than all the other papers combined, you will make a mistake that means dollars and cents to you if you go elsewhere for this class of work. Publicity is what you want to bring the people to your sale and thus secure good prices for what you have to sell. The Democrat can insure you this, for it reaches the people, and the very class of people you want to tell about your sale.

THE COMMON COUNCIL.

The city council met in special session Monday evening for the purpose of making the city tax levy for 1902. A total levy of $1.61 on each SIOO was made as against $1.65 last year. The levy is as follows: Road fund 30c Corporation fund 20c Sinking fund 07c Special additional fund... 01c School library fund 01 c Water works fund 15c Electric light fund 10c Special school fund 40c Tuition fund 35c County library funa 02c Total $1.61 At this meeting the city attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance relative to water rentals, tapping of mains and description of the property of those at present using city water. The appointment of the circuit court of the following city commissioners was made a matter of record: Frank O’Meara, Albert Brand, A. Woodworth, John C. Fisher and A. Harmon. They will serve one year.
