ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.

I tarn* of Interest (lathered In tha Office* and . Corridor* of the County Capitol. County Attorney Ralph W. Marshall has gone to California to spend the winter. The annual meeting of the Jasper County Teachers’ Assocation convened here yesterday and will continue to-day. —o — Judge Hanley has been wearing Judge Nye’s wool-sack at Winamao this week while the latter performed a like service here. —o— Marriage licenses issued: Nov. 20, Martin Klaus to Lucena Hollingsworth.

Demand SIOO, and that plaintiff’s lein be declared prior to the lein of Renicker & Renicker. —o — Of the probable republican candidates for the nomination to county office next year we hear John O’Connor of Kniman, mentioned for sheriff, while Chas. M. Blue, present trustee of Marion township, claims to have the recordership nomination safely housed in his vest pocket, we are told. The recorder’s is the best office in the county, however, and Blue will have opposition for the nomination in the person of Robert Mannon of Kankakee tp., it is said. The McCoy’s will again run “Doc” Nichols for treasurer, it is understood, and C. C-~ Warner vt ill seek re-nomination for clerk. In this, however, he also may have opposition. The other minor offices will not be much struggled after, or the remuneration is not large and republican patriots are always most numerous where there is the largest appropriation, therefore the crumbs will be thrown to the sparrows in the ranks. Conditions are such in the county that the democrats have a fighting chance for some of the offices and, while democrats as a rule are not as, office hungry as fheir republican friends, there will probably be no lack of good material to fill the ticket.
