It might be a good idea to compel would-be bad men to deposit their shootin’ irons with the “bar-keep” before starting in to drink up Rensselaer’s supply of booze. If this were enforced it might save the destruction of much public property in time.

A Card from Mrs. Simon Kenton, dated Boston, Ga. March 14, says: “Kindly send our paper to Pensacola, Fla., as we shall go there in a day or two.

The councilmen have not been heard from, but as most of them got through their pet hobbies—notably the Makemself sewer, the cement walk around the Thompson farm and the purchase of Milroy Park—it would seem that these at least would step aside and let the other fellow get his ax to working on the public grindstone.

Edward Kime, who is wanted at Arabia, in Benton county, on the charge of horse stealing, was arrested Sunday night at Logansport. He had hired a horse and buggy at Ambia Saturday to drive out in the country a short distance but instead drove to Remington. At that place he made an effort to sell the rig but the would-be buyers were suspicious and would not purchase. He then left the horse and buggy at a livery stable and took tne train for Logansport. The police of that city were notified to look out for him. Kime is only seventeen years old and his home is at Stockton, Illinois, where he lived until a few weeks ago. He disclaims that he had any intention of stealing the rig. —Monticello Journal.
