San Vierre

Hurrah for the Japs! Bear the hen cackle for the sake of the eggs, Joe. Admiral Toga said “yes, sir,” and that is what he did. " Messers. Cannon and Howard visited the Starke county capital Saturday. Ollie says nobody’s sweetheart is simply sour, but Mr. Kane is a type of sweetness, Alozo Cooper, who has been sick since February with a complication of diseases, is gradually improving. Admiral Royestvensky fleet may be compared to Holmes’, “One Horse Snay" “All at once and nothing first, just as bubbles do when they burst.” Fred Bogs came all the way from German to hear his intended sing those songs that would cause him to awake and he assured of the spring time. Miss Stickley, the primary teacher of the San Pierre schools who has a very painful carbuncle on her neck, went to Walkerton Thursday to have it treated. Mr. D. V. says he agrees with Sunnyside as ttrkisses being in the confectionary line, but if he has to take the choice between kisses, straw berries and cream be would take both. The D. V. pen pusher ate strawberry short cake with San Pierre Sunday. We find that D. V. has an appetite like an aligator, landed in the middle of a sixteen inch pie and completely walked off with it. This may sound a little fishy but nevertheless it is true; Messers. Noah and Henry Gingrich who put down a number of posts for a fence a few days ago were somewhat amazed when returning to complete the fence that the post had all been blown out by some unknown factor. In all of the historic pages of the developement of the human race have we yet learned what incentive would cause two young ladies to attend a German Sunday school and then listen to a three hour German sermon, and not being able at all to understand a single word of the language. Perhaps Fred Bogs could tell us.

STATE SOLDIERS’ HOHE

The Large Institution and Beautiful Orounds on the West Bank of The Wabash River. The Democrat man and wife and son George were in Lafayette Monday on business and spent a couple of hours out at the soldiers home, northwest of the city. This is a beautiful place after one reaches it, lyiDg upon a plateau on the hills on the west bank of the Wabash. But it is evident that a great mistake was made in locating the home ht such distance from railroad lines. True, a street car line from the city runs out the three and a half miles to the foot of the hill on which the “home'’ is located, and the street railway magnates hold up the old soldiers and visitors for ten cents transportation each way, about three cents per mile. There are many protests over this rate, whioh is said to be the most excessive to be found anywhere else in the country. There is no other transportation line out there, and all building material, coal for the beating ana light plant, provisions, etc., must be transported by teams from Lafayette. Thiß is an immense expense eaoh year whioh oould have been saved had the home been located near some railroad. Chaplain F. M. Cones, who was stationed as pastor of the M. E. church at Remington from March to September, 1889, taking the plaoe of Rev. Woodson, who died there, kindly piloted us about the grounds, showed us the principal things of interest and explained muon about matters connected with the home. They were just erecting a California red fir flagpole 200 feet high the day we were there. This pole was in two pieces and was hauled through from Chioago by team, the railroads wanting ISO for transporting it by rail. This pole oost S2OO erected, or about 9216 lees than the fifty foot sas5 as pipe flag-pole that surmounts asper county’s court bouse. Another gentleman whom we

met,is well known to many of onr readers in the vioinity of Remington and Goodland, Mr. J. H. Sawyer, a former photographer at Goodland, who with his wife has been an inmate of the home for the past five years. Mr. Sawyer is quite an active and intelligent man, and for two years was foreman of the painting gang, having a dozen men under him. He edits 4 column of “home news” in the Lafayette Courier each week, and is also correspondent for the Indianapolis News and other papers. In addition to the number of large and handsome brick buildings that have been erected by the state at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, there are a number of “c ounty cottages.” Some of the latter are pretty cheap looking affairs, although in most cases no doubt the taxpayers paid enough for them to put up much better looking buildings. “Graft” has probably played a prominent part in most everything done there, from the 6ale of the grounds to the erection of the cottages. It will be remembered that Jasper county has appropriated $4,500 for a cottage at the home and that contract for same was let some months ago. All that has been done to it thus far is to excavate for the foundation and get the lumber on the ground. The amount this building is to cost Jasper county ought to provide a large and fine looking building. of good material and worknfanship. It is located at the south side of the circle, just across the street from the Newton county cottage. Most of the old soldiers who are able to work are kept busy about the grounds, working in There are now only about 425 inmates of the home, many being out on parole. Last winter there were 750 on the rolls, most of whom will be back when winter comes again. They all appear well satisfied with their surroundings and the well kept grounds and pure air of the hilltop ought to do much toward making them contented.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Crown Point Star: Gifford is working very slowly on his railroad across the Kankakee, and is no doubt killing time until he meets with a buyer for the road and right-of-way he has already secured, which will make a good start for some north and south line to the coal fields. Uncle David Culp of Hanging Grove tp., was in the city on business Wednesday. Mr. Culp was 81 years of age Thursday, June 1, and 54 years of this time he has lived in Jasper county. He was born in Hampshire county, Va., and came to Indiana when 16 years of age. Except for one year in White and one year in Pulaski counties he has since resided in this county. He is still very active for a man of bis age. In “Railroad Jack” there is a breeziness and freshness about its every movement, that is redolent of the UDConfined American reregion where the story is laid. Altogether there is a charm around it. With its mingled fun and tragedy, its oddity, and its pathos, its pretty little traits of nature of native life, its hits and reflections of every day American character that ought to spell continued success. “Railroad Jack 1 ’ will appear at the Ellis opera house, Saturday night, June 3.

the cold, disagreeable day there was quite a large crowd turned out from town and the surrounding country to the Deooration exercises Tuesday afternoon. Rev. W. H. Fertich, of tbe Barkley M. E. church, delivered the oration at the cemetery, and on the return the old soldiers were banqueted at the court house by the ladies of the G. A. R.NrFbe procession to the oemetery was led by tbe Citizen’s Band, followed by Sunday school children, G. A. R., College Cadets, K. of P’s., Odd Fellows and Company M. M. D. Yontz, confidential agent of W. B. Burford & Co., of this city, has been indicated by the Wells county grand jury on the oharge of having ohanged the bids recently submitted by the house with whioh he is oonneoted. He is the only man that is known to have had opportunity to make the changes. He strenuously denies that he made them. We shall most certainly decline to prejudge the oase. But we sincerely hope that the guilty man, whoever he is, may be detected and punished. Tbs action of the grand jury will undoubtedly have a most benficial effect. For the truth is now bound to come out. And that ia what we jail want. It is time that grand jurier everywhere were giv-

Something is known and more is suspected concerning the relations between county and township officers and school book and supply people. In truth, we need a general housecleaning.— Indianapolis News. A heavy rain, accompanied by considerable lightning, fell Monday afternoon. Down in White and Tippecanoe counties there was a heavy wind with the rain, and trees were blown down and a few out buildings wrecked. At Reynolds Dr. R. M. Dalzell and Clyde Wheeler were just driving home from the cemetery two miles south of town where they had been to mark the graves of the soldier dead for decoration the next day, when a large limb from an oak tree beside the road was blown off and crashed into the buggy, instantly killing Dr. Dalzell and bruising up his companion somewhat. Dr. Dalzell was au old soldier and had resided in White county since 1866. He was the prohibition candidate for congress in 1902, and was district chairman of that party at the time of his death. The same storm blew down the smoke-stack of the electric light plant at Monticello and uprooted trees in the court house yard there.
