It is not probable that anything further will be done in the Rosenbaum blind tiger case. Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt, who were the state’s witnesses, left town Monday morning on the early southbound train. They got oft at Monon, but it is scarcely likely they will be anywhere in this vicinity by the time the September term of court convenes. The Garrison big general store at Remington has closed and the remaining stock will be sold for the benefit of creditors. It is thought the stock will be sufficient to pay not more than one-half the claims, of which there is in the neighborhood of $5,000.

It is reported that Squire Bussell of McCoysburg was in the city Thursday to get a pair of hip beots for his cornplanter. The Squire threatens to do a little corn business in the near future rain or shine. An East Chicago paper states that Attorney John Westfall has been appointed city attorney for the town of Whiting. Mr. Westfall was formerly of Remington and worked for the writer there two or three years at the printer’s trade. Success to you, John. The Democrat was in error last week in stating that an execution had not yet been issued on a precipe of $149.09 against Abraham Halleck, the republican candidate for state senator—the execution, according to the execution record, was issued April 30. r Uncle David Nowels, whose health in recent weeks hap concerned his many friends and relatives, has so far recovered as to be able to get out of doors on nice days, and it now seems that his ambition to vote for one more democrat for president will be realized.

There were no avowed candidates for the office of judge or prosecutor, the large republican majority in the two counties making it a hopeless race, but T. B. Cunningham, a prominent young attorney of Kentland, was nominated for prosecutor. No nomination was made for judge. J. M. Helmick of Wheatfield has The Democrat’s thanks for a renewal of his subscription for another year. He says: “Please find enclosed one dollar on account of subscription, and your most liberal offer. The stand you take on all moral issues, and especially on temperance, meets my warmest approval, and your paper should be in every clean home in Jasper county.” * Hallie Russell, aged 6 years, daughter of James Russell, died Wednesday at 3a. m. Little Hallie was just recovering from measles and j this with Bright’s disease proved too much for her weakened constitution. The funeral was held yesterday at the home of her parents, Rev. J. C. Parrett officiating. Burial in the Brown cemetery, Barkley township. F. E. Babcock and son George were in Indianapolis Monday where the latter entered the Winona Technical Institute to take a full course in the Linotype department. The course is eight weeks, and linotype operators receive all the way from sls to S2O per week in the country print shops and $22 to $25 in the city shops, and is one of the best trades in the country. When he finishes his course George wilt assist in operating The Democrat’s linotype. \C. C. Warner has bought of E. D.’ Rhoades the north tenant property of the latter on Front street, which now stands vacant, and will make some repairs thereto and has rented It to Bert Hopkins. Charley will probably build there next season. The lot is in a good location, but the house is of practically no value whatever. The price paid was SI,BOO. Mr. Rhoades also owns the property immediately * south, now occupied by Aaron Hickman, and is thinking of building a new house there this season for his son Leonard. • Subscribe tor The Democrat.

Owing to the lateness of corn planting and the prospect that farmers would be. very busy on the date set for the Newton tp., democratic convention, the same has been postponed two weeks, and will be held on June 20 instead of June 6, the date formerly set for. John G. Shedd, president of the Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago, who with his wife and two children are touring Europe in a motor car, was recently injured. While passing at moderate speed in the road from Rome to Florence, the chauffeur endeavored to avoid a group of workmen and caused the car to veer sharply to one side. Mr. Shedd was thrown torward and sustained a fracture on the knee cap. No one else was injured. Mr. Shedd is a brother of S. S. Shedd of east of Rensselaer. The funeral of Geo. Hellengreen who died at Longcllff Asylum for an insane last week, was held from W. J. Wright’s undertaking establishment Sunday, Rev. G. H. Clark officiating. l . Mr. Hellengreen had been in the asylum about four years and had been an inmate of the county poor farm four or five years previous thereto. He was violent at times, and required a great deal of care and caution on the part of the attendants. He was about 27 years old at the time of his death. Interment was made in Weston cemetery. M. T. Parks writes from Bainbridge, Ind., in renewing his subscription for another year, and says: "Am glad that you are going to give us the news twice-a-week in the future. Of course all of us that have strayed away from Rensselaer and Jasper county like to hear the news from home, and the oftener the better. It will certainly be appreciated on our part. To-day (May 9) is the first time the sun has shown up since May 1, except for a few minutes last Wednesday, but it has rained almost continually every day. “Bill, my boy,” wrote the old man to the college youth, “when you’re tidin’ in them new fashioned automobiles at forty miles an hour, don’t forglt that you was raised to the ox cart an’ that it brung you to whar you air, an’ when you’re whirlin’ them golf sticks, don’t fail to remember that it was the ax handle that helped you to get ’em; and when you leave for your home vacation don’t forgit to leave your high falutln’ airs behind you, fer if you fetch any of ’em home with you, by heck I’ll wear out more seasoned hickory on you than you ever dreamed of growed in the woods." Remington possesses one of the wonders of the world —a team of horses weighing 280 pounds. This team is owned and driven daily by A. V. Lock, the sketch artist, and with Mr. and Mrs. Lock and the little road wagon this tiny team haul a load of 650 lbs., going at an astonishing pace. These horses are as near alike as two peas both in' color, size and shape. They are mouse-colored, except black manes and tails, and are among a score or more owned in Remington and they are no doubt among the smallest in use in the world. This team outclasses a team of six greyhounds driven by an insurance man out of Goshen some years ago, except that the greyhound man never needed shaving in very cold weather —the pace those dogs set when going down a stretch of good road kept his face as smooth as a peeled onion. DENTISTRY. All you’ve “guessed” about artificial teeth may be wrong; what we know about them is the result of long experience. Possibly it would surprise you to know how reasonable in price they are made our way. We make so many sets that we can afford to give you more reasonable prices than most dentists do—that is, for first-class work. We are told again and again that our work is by far the beet in the district. We always intended that it should be; we always try to give superlative service. We use the best materials, take greatest pains. Our fee depends upon what requires to be done. We always give estimates most gladly, and we guarantee entire satisfaction. J. W. HORTON, Dentist.
