This was the second attempt of burglars to get into the store through a window light in the toilet room on the second floor of the office tenants. After the first attempt an iron grating was fastened over the glass, and the burglars stood on the washstand, broke the glass and partly pried off the bars, when the stand came down with a crash, breaking the water pipe connection in two, and flooding the store rooms below. ———- ——-

JUDGMENT FOR LOWE.

Several cases growing out of the McCoy bank failure that bad been taken to Newton county, were disposed of at the present term of court there. In the case of the trustee against J. W. Paxton, on an old note which the latter claimed to have paid but which was not taken up, a settlement was reached by Paxton paying the face of the note and costs. In the case of James C. Lowe, of Monon, against Baughman & Williams, of this city, to recover $627 of a collection which the latter had made for him and deposited to their own credit in the McCoy bank, and which they had given him a check for the afternoon of the Saturday the bank closed, but which he neglected to present to the bank for payment, although here and having ample time to have done so, Lowe finally leaving the check with Baughman & Williams, telling them to get a draft Monday and send to him, judgment was rendered against the former. On,Monday, as everyone knows, the bank did not open. Lowe then wanted B. & W. to make good. They thought the fault that be did not get his money was hie own and declined to do so, but offered as a compromise to stand half the loss. He declined to accept this, and brought suit. The jury brought in a verdict in Lowe's favor for the full amount. The case will be appealed, it is announced.

• Come in and see those Princess Garments at Rowles & Parker’s Cloak opening, Tuesday, Nov. 7th. L ncle James Maloy of Steeger, 111., came down Thursday evening to look after some business matters, expecting to return home to-day. Uncle Jim reports the folks all well and says his son, Dr. Bennie Maloy, is having a nice practice at Steeger. Judson Moore, of Monon, will do the drilling and blasting for Sternberg & Son on the rock work of the big Iroquois ditch, and already a large amount of dynamite has been shipped here for that purpose. The drilling will be done with steam drills, and it is expected to use the dredge to shovel out the rock after it is broken up. Rowles & Parker want to see you at their Cloak Opening, Tuesday, Nov. 7. The fine Chase piano that is being given to the most popular Church, Sunday School or Lodge in Jasper county by the Jasper County Democrat, as determined by the voting contest now being conducted by that paper, will be used to furnish music for the occasion. Trustee Huston of Milroy tp., presented The Democrat man with a mammoth pie pumpkin Thursday that would make enough pies to feed a multitude, and he said that he bad several larger ones at home but be was not able to lift them into a wagon and it was too far to haul them on a stone-boat. Corn husking in Milroy is progressing nicely, Mr. Huston says, and the crop is good, his own yielding about sixty bushels to the acre. The Democrat man has not, nor never will, uphold hoodlumism or lawlessness. There has been .too much of this this thing in Rensselaer, which is the cause of the present deplorable state of affairs here. The truth told about some of these matters might open the eyes of parents to assert their authority and, if unable to manage or control their children,, call on the State to help them. The Democrat is in possession of matters that the fathers and mothers of Rensselaer ought to know, but they are of such a nature as to be unprintable. International gasoline engines and manure spreaders at Parker’s, See them in actual operation.

Remember the Cloak opening at Rowels & Parker’s Tuesday, Nov. 7. The prize piano offered by The Democrat will be used to furnish music for the occasion. “The Winning Hand,” which appeared at the opera house last evening, is one of the best in the comedy-drama line ever witnessed in our city, and went with a dash and vim that was quite refreshing. Special mention must be made of the clever work of Miss Marie Ostella and Eddie Delaney, whose singing and dancing was of the highest order and brought many encores by their cleverness. Should this clever company visit our city again they will surely be greeted by a packed bouse.— Leader, McHenry, 111. At Ellis* Opera House, Tuseday night, November 7. Prices 25, 35, 50c. Mrs. Alexander Rennie of Providence, R. 1., who is visiting Mrs. E. P. Honan, on Tuesday recited an orignial poem of her’s at the D. A. R., meeting, at Miss Mildred Harris, on“ Bible Hill”, N. H., where the summer home of the Rennie’s is located. Bible Hill took its name from the fact that in the early history of New Hampshire the only bible in the state was owned or located there, and for many years people used to come from long distances to hear and read the word of God. Mrs. Honan entertained Thursday evening at dinner in Mrs. Rennie’s honor, and next Wednesday will entertain at cards in honor of both Mrs. Rennie and Mrs. O’Connor of Delphi, who will also visit her next week. It is quite likely that if Henry Hildebrand doesn’t get.but one vote for councilman in the first ward he will be elected. Dr. Brown, the republican nominee, has lived in the ward only about thirty days, while the law to render him eligible to election requires a six months residence. The question of eligibility was raised, but the attorneys consulted held that he was eligible or would be by the time he took the office, next May, and he was left on the ticket. Other attorneys, including Judge Thompson, think that the candidate must have been a resident of the ward six months immediately proceeding the election, which it would appear is the only reasonable interpretation of the law.
