See those new shirt waists. Big advance showings of spring styles at Rowles & Parker’s. Rensselaer is to lose one of her piano stores, the one opposite the court house proved a failure. J. H. Huntsinger of Wichita, Kan., was transacting business here Thursday. He was called back home by the serious sickness of his son. The First National Bank *is prepared to issue “World’s Fair Money Orders” to those seeking a safe way to carry their money and to guard against “light fingered gentry,” Identification is not necessary and these are of great convenience. Editor Bowie, the democrat (?) editor of the Roselawn-Thayer-Shelby-Wheatfield and perhaps one or two other places Review, has a very unfair and misleading report of The Democrat man’s trial at Kentland in his issue this week. As a matter of fact every material allegation in the alleged libellous article was proven beyond a shadow of question, and the only thing that could be held libellous was the word “cur” which appeared in same. The jhry found “extenuating circumstances” in even this as they said in their verdict, and remitted ALL costs, a fact whioh John also found it convenient to mention. We trust the democrats of northern Jasper will find John as good a democrat as the republican politicans of Rensselaer find him a republican. X A little domestic jar was aired in Squire Irwin’s court Monday, the complainant being the young wife of Leonard Tullis, who recently moved to town from Jordan township. She charged that they had a fracas Sunday morning over her failure or refusal to get up and build the fire, and her husband jabbed her heavily in the side with his elbow, pulled her hair and struck her, and that he threatened to shoot her if she made any outcry; that he kept a revolver under the pillow, etc. The defendant was fined $lO and costs, $20.10 in all. Mrs. Tullis was formerly of Goodland, and her maiden name was Rice. She returned to Goodland Monday, we understand, and the matter will probably terminate in the divorce courts. The parties have been married about two years.
