Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 October 1906 — THE COURT HOUSE [ARTICLE]

THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. New suits filed: No. 9086. Washington 8. Grant vs. George K. Bingham; suit to quiet title. The democrats put out no township ticket in Barkley, Gillam, Hanging Grove, Keener or Milroy, and the republicans made no nominations in Jordan or Milroy. The same influences which -prevented an investigarion of the county offices six or seven years ago can and will prevent an investigation now unless a democratic council and commissioners is elected. , —o—x Miss Jean McFarland, the gemihl deputy in the Clerk’s office, has resigned her position and there are rumors afloat of what she has done or contemplates doing very soon. Miss Vera Parker succeeds her in the clerk’s office. —o — Ths state ballot this, year will consist of six tickets —democratic, republican, prohibition, people’s fiarty, socialist party, and socialist abor party, in the order named, the democratic ticket, as usual, being first on the state ballot as it is on the county and township ballot.

—OI— Marriage licenses issued: Oct. 20, John Joseph Eigelsbach of Rensselaer, aged 24, occupation butcher, to Beulah May Yates, also of Rensselaer, aged 19, occupation housekeeper. First marriage for each. Oct. 23, Charles Carter Cain, of Rensselaer, Ind., aged 38, occupation farmer, to Ora Blanche Schanlaub, also of Rensselaer, aged 23. First marriage for each. The Kentland Enterprise, in a write-up of the republican candidate for prosecuting attorney for this and Newton county, says “he stands on his record.” We would suggest, if one wants know what Mr. Graves’ record is, they ask the people of Remington, or of practically any town in the district, for if he or his Jasper county deputy has ever done one thing that he has not been practically forced into doing we should like to know what it is.

—o — The voters of Indiana will again be asked to vote on the proposed constitutional amendment at the coming election for the passage of a law prescribing qualifications to practice law in all courts of justice. If you care to vote on thia proposition you will find it on the state ballot, at the bottom of the ticket. Six years ago, when this same amendment was voted on, a separate ballot was provided, but not enough people voted yn the proposition to carry it by a constitutional majority. o The Democrat has been asked to publish a little information regarding the court house bonds, and in compliance with this request will say that there were issued $152,500 in all of these bonds, in three series, as follows: Series one, $82,500, due and payable, $32,500 July 1, 1921, with option of paying after July 1,1911, $50,000 due and payable July 1, 1926, with option of paying after July 1, 1916. Series two, $40,000, due and payable SIO,OOO July 1, 1907; $15,000 July 1, 1927; $15,000 July 1,1032. Series three, $30,000, due and payable SIO,OOO Jan. 1, 1903; $5,000 Jan. 1, 1905; $15,000 Jan. 1, 1020. It will be seen from the above that $15,000 has now been paid of series three, leaving $137,500 still outstanding. Of the bonds remaining unpaid SIO,OOO of series two falls due next July, and no more become due until 1920, when $15(000 of series three is payble and $32,500 of series one falls due in 1921 and $50,000 in 1926. This leaves $30,000 in series two, maturing $15,000 July 1, 1927, and $15,000 July 1, 1932.
