Ellery is working in the Rock Island round house at Limon and Albert expects to work with him until spring, when, if be likes the country, be will take up a homestead claim near there. The Democrat wishes the boys success.

Another aggregation of barnstormers held forth at Ellis opera house Monday night in “The Curse of Idleness.” They went from here to Monticello, and the papers there roasted the company good and bard, and think it too bad the taw affords no redress for a decidedly “bum” show. They also say that Manager Ellis recommended the show to the manager of the opera house there, and that the theatre going public does not fancy jokes of that kind.

Still Congressman Crumpacker fails to name the coming postmaster for Rensselaer, and the half dozen “patriots” who are willing to assume the responsibility and salary are on the uneasy seat. “Crump” had promised them all that he would come here during holidays and look after the qualifications—or rather hear what they had done for the party to deserve this great reward —and his failure to come caused dire forebodings in the ranks of the applicants. No doubt the selection will be made very shortly.

Kentland Enterprise: The temperance forces of Jefferson township had a meeting last week and report to us that great interest was manifested. Will Simons was selected president of the local league, and it was decided to hold, in the near future, a rousing series of meetings in the court bouse. Father Henneberger and Father Barron, the noted Catholic temperance workers, have been engaged and will assist at the meetings. A large sum of money was subscribed to pay expenses and the best legal talent will be engaged if necessary. A leader in the movement banded us the following statement: “The tight against the saloons in Kentland has just begun. We are organized and we will never cease until we win.”

Indianapolis News; The majority in the Legislature is making a mistake in the matter of employes The Democrats have been quick to see this, and Monday put the Republicans on record when a resolution for additional assistants of various kinds came up. It was carried by a strict party vote, and under it more—useless—assistant postmasters, assistant custodians, clerks, etc., were appointed. They are to get $5 a day, except some more assistant janitors, who are to get $3 —that is the meaning of it. The taxpayers of Indiana do not begrudge money for legitimate purposes. But they know as well as do those that have the voting that such an army of employes in attendance on the Legislature is not only needless but a bother.

Prof. B. D. Richardson, formerly of Barkley tp., this county, now superintendent of schools at Manitowoc, Wis., sends us a copy of the Plymouth, (Wis.) Review, containing interesting statistics of the cheese industry of that state. The greater part of the cheese made there is produced in Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties, and the importance of the industry can be realized by the fact that over 10,000,000 pounds were made in 1905. Plymouth is a town about the size of Rensselaer, and there were sold on the cheese board of that place last year 4,187,320 pounds of cheese. The average price in 1904 was l£c; 1905, 11c; 1906, 12c., so one can easily figure the large amount of money brought into that territory by this industry. z Read The Democrat for news.
