Swain of Hammond, the democratic candidate for jointrepresentative, will make a true representative of the people of this district, if elected. If the voters of the district want such a man in the legislature they will see that Mr. Swaim gets their votes. ,vilr. Wm. Porter and Mrs. Gertrude Robinson were married at Kenosha, Wis., Monday. They are own cousins, and the marriage of first cousins is prohibited in Indiana, hence their going to Wisconsin to marry. The bride is a daughter of E. L. Clark of this city, while the groom is a clerk in the clothing department of Murray’s store. iK'The four children of Mrs. Mattie Morlau, who was recently convicted of conducting a house of ill fame in Rensselaer, were taken to Indianapolis Wednesday by Rev. B. F. Ferguson. The eldest girl has been found a home in an Indianapolis family and the younger children will be looked after and found homes by the Home Finding Association.

Korah A. x>f Marion township, has purchased the Schleman buggy and carriage business on North Van Rensselaer street, and will take possession of same January 1, 1905. Mr. Parker will* move to town and have personal charge of the business, retaining also the services of Levi Renicker, who has managed the business for Mr. Schleman w X / S. H. Norman writes to change the address of his Demociat from Tacoma, Wash ,to Walla, Walla, Wash., and adds that he likes the country about the latter city much better than that about Tacoma, as it is a level plain Tbe mountains are fine to ioo£ at, he says, but he would not prefer a mountain home, especially where it is so steep that debts are nailed along like a barn entrance for the horses to climb it. Much less deviltry than usual was done hallowe’en, and aside from marking up the windows of the business houses with soap, overturning a few outhouses etc., nothing much was done. Some boys went to the school grounds, with the intention, no doubt, of committing some act of deviltry, but were given a warm reception by the janitor. He 6hot at them with a gun loaded with beans, peppering them quite well ana putting them to a hurried flight.

L. J. Renicker and family of Surrey, No. Dak., arrived in Rensselaer Wednesday for a visit with his brothers John and Levi. He will remain here until spring* spending most of the time with his parents in Carroll county. Mr. Renicker says they had excellent crops there this year and all the former Jasperites are doing well. The country is improving and settling up fast. He brought along a few mammoth potatoes grown there to show his friends. J-- - i S. Makeever of Newton tp., abd James T. Randle, bis father-in-law, of this city, have purchased the A. McCoy brick residence and nearly three acres of ground on McCoy avenue. The deed has not as yet been placed on record, but tbe consideration is said to have been a little less than $5,000, all cash. The residence is quite old. but is in a good state of repair. It has been said by some that the property is worth $lO,000, but this figure is probably SB,OOO to $4,000 too high. Six thousand dollars is nearer the value. If, as our republican newspaper brethern would have it, there whs not the usual Saturday crowd here to hear Bryan—yet conservative men placed the crowd at not less than 4,000 —there was scarcely a corporal’s guard to hear the big gun—Gov. Baily of Kansas —sent here to reply to Bryan. There was not 300 people to the Baily speech, notwithstanding the fact that great efforts were made to get out a crowd, and but little interest was manifested in what he had to say. The day was perfect and the orator had a good voice and good delivery. He no doubtpu t up as good an argument as could have been expected.
