Russets, greenings, spies and Belleflower apples down to 600 to $1.20 a bushel, including basket, at the Chicago Bargain Store. James A. Shepherd, whose, sale was intended to have been held next Monday, has been postponed to Monday, March 2, as Mr. Shepherd was called to North Dakota on business tbis week and could not get baok in time to hold the sale on the date first deoided upon. TMr. and Mrs. P. W. Clarke entertained a number of friends Tuesday evening in honor of the thirteenth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Nichols. The house was handsomely decorated for the oooasion, and the oompany presented Mr. and Mrs. Niohols with a silver meat fork as a reminder of the event. A fine supper was served.

Creditors of the Baldwin & Dague bank at Goodland which with their bank at Fowler and one at Ambia owned by them went to the wall last Deoember, have filed a petition in the federal court at Indianapolis asking that they be deolared bankrupt. It is said that this will force the bankers to show their hand, and if they have assets to make good, as they claim, the creditors will be more than pleased to find it out. /jThe members of tbe old “Five /Hundred Club” gave a stag party to the new “Five Hundred Club” at the Rosenbaum’s hotel Thursday night. Lunch was served at 10:30 and the guests amused themselves in card playing and having a general good time. Vera Nowels carried off the prize for the most games won, and Bert Hopkins and B. Forsythe tied for the booby prize, but on casting of lots the latter won out, but he isn’t saying anything in public about it. We greatly fear thatßro. Stonehill of the Brook Reporter can never hope to handle the United States mail at his town so long as Crumpacker is congressman from this district, If you want a republican office, don’t “knook” the machine, is the motto all good republican editors should follow. Now our friend Healey of the Rensselaer Republican even swallows “Kit” Sills, and looks pleasant, in order to be in line at the pie counter.

XMr. James Peok and Miss Kate Meehan of Remington were united in marriage Thursday evening at 8 o’clock by Rev. Father Meyer at his rooms. They will reside at Remington where a bouse was already furnished for their reception. The groom is a popular young drug olerk in Remington and the bride has many friends here where she has lived most of the time for the past few years, and The Democrat joins their friends in extending congratulations.

The Republican thinks The Democrat ought to try and build up a democratic machine in Jasper oounty. No, thank you. Machine politios don’t go with democrats, and especially the democrats of this oounty or district. Everybody has a voice in democratic conventions and no dictation from Washington or elsewhere goes. The Democrat never has nor never will endorse machine politios, and as the Republican now has a clear field there is no exouse for it doing so—unless it believes in such methods. jMiaron Timmons, proprietor of tpe only licensed saloon in Jasper county, has given notice that he will apply to the board of commissioners for renewal of said lioense at their regular meeting next month. It is reported however, that the people of Kankakee tp., have already seoured more than enough names necessary to defeat the lioense, and after the expiration of the license now held by Mr. Timmons, which runs out about the middle of Maroh, Jasper oounty will be without a licensed saloon within its borders, for the first time in its history. KFrom a recent isuue of the Oklahoma City Times-Joumal, we dip the following mention of a former prominent Rensselaer citizen: M Mr. U. M. 'Baughman, the new member of the firm of A. O. Farmer & Co., ootnee from Rensselaer, Ind., where he has been engaged in the general practice of law for the past six.years. He will give especial attention to mortgage loans and examination of titles, in oonneotion with the business of the firm. Although recently admitted to praotioe in both the federal and the supreme court of this state, Mr. Baughman will not resume the aotive practice of law here for the present.” v Good eating apples down to 15, 20, 25 and 80c a peok.
