REMIXGTOX. Rain fell here practically all night again Monday night. Remington and vicinity was well represented at Rensselaer Saturday at the horse show. Quite a number of the Rensselaer Horse Show premiums were captured by exhibitors from Remington and vicinity. Kentland Democrat: Charles Balcom and daughter. Miss Irene, of Remington, were guests of C. F. Wittenberg and family Wednesday. Mrs. George Stoudt visited Saturday and Sunday with Mrs. F. E. Babcock in Rensselaer.

It is reported that John Teter, who went to North Dakota last spring, is now on his 1 way back to Jasper county. Everything was burned up in his locality by the drouth, and John’s sjick-to-it qualities were not strong enough to stay another year, notwithstanding thiswas the first crop failure there in several years. Horace Kent, aged abqpt 25 years, Son of Bela C. Kent, formerly of Goodland, died a few days ago in Chicago. He had been employed for the past few years by a Chicago telephone company and had been stationed at Gary until a few days before, his death, which occurred very suddenly, he being apparently in the best of health the night before and wasufound dead in bed next morning. His burial took {dace at Kentland. . Detective Weinhardt was out from Lafayette last Thursday to secure a settlement with Warren Collyer in regard to a check which the latter had issued. Collyer is in the employ • of Haynes & Sims and had permission to draw checks against their account. While in Lafayette recently he had a check for $25 cashed by a saloon keeper. The check was drawn on the First National Bank. Before it got around the account had been transfered to the bank of Remington. It was turned down here and after the account was transferred Collyer wrote the man to send the check to Remington and it would be taken care of. The letter never reached its destination and the visit of the detective resulted. The matter was amicably adjusted without further trouble. —Benton Review.

JUST LISTEN TO THIS.

Continued from First Page

and in a trial in the* enemy’s own county, as it were, after the state had removed six of the regular jurors, that the evidence and result of the trial hot alone completely vindicates him from all wrong doing and fraud, but even discloses the fact that forgery was resorted to and public records were changed, in an effort to manufacture evidence. upon which to base the numerous complaints made against him. The complaint at this trial was that Mr. Bader had changed the figures on his bid, after the bid had been opened and passed upon by the county commissioners. The evidence at the trial disclosed the fact that the bid had been filed and the Contract let regularely and the proper prices allowed, and .that no change had been made in the bid by Mr. Bader. Further than this the evidence showed that the paper many months later, had been tampered with and the presumption was that someone had tried to hang a job upon the Winamae bridge builder.

After hearing the evidence, from both sides, the judge promptly named the nearest man in the jury box for foreman, and directed him to return a verdict of not guilty. In this, Its strongest case, the prosecution, although admirably and completely Conducted, had absolutely no evidence, upon which to sustain the charges so freely circulated against' Mr. Bader in unfriendly circles.

That sort of "(lope'' may go go with the readers of the Republican. but the people over here know... the facts. Xo evidence was heard on this case because the combined legal knowledge of the six attorneys ,for the defense were shrewd enough to keep it from being heard and found flaws in the affidavit which threw the case out of court. It never was charged by anyone! that we ever heard of before that there had been any "forging of the public records" or that there was any politics in the prosecution. The state excused but one regular juror instead of six. The “trial" did not exhonorate him of fraud in building bridges in Jasper county at all; and this case was never considered very “strong” by the state because of the difficulty in fixing the responsibility for the change in the bid, if such change was made as alleged, but the prosecutor firmly believed and still believes that the figures were changed and he wanted the guilty ones brought to justice. Instead of fully exhonorating Mr. Bader from all \vrong-doing and intent to it has been shown conclusively that Jasper county was robbed of S4OO oh the Milroy tp., bridge, and Prof. Smith of Purdue, who is not interested in any way in the matter, says that the taxpayers were swindled on every bridge he examined that was erected by the Winamae company, and as a result six more grand jury indictments are now pending. If the editor of the Republican had been here at this last "trial" he would not have written such a tissue of falsehoods as the above unless he is the worst liar in Indiana..

TO THE ANONYMOUS LET-TER-WRITER.

There came to my hand, in Friday's mail, an anonymous epistle, written with indelible pencil, to be read to the Ministers’ Association. Since the author failed to attach his or her name I shall not read it to them, neither can I answer it. •

It may be possible that the writer forgot to subscribe his name to the document; but. judging from the contents of the wonderful production. I am led to believe that the author was ashamed us it. and too cowardly to father or mother it. He or she claims to reside in the \\ est side of Rensselaer. I feel sure that no self-respecting resident of the W est side would be guilty of writing such a slanderous letter without having the manhood or womanhood to sign it.

If. however, the author is really anxious to receive answers to some of his questions, and is an honest seeker after light and truth, and will come to me personally, I shall be happy to render all the help in my power. I can not answer for the other pas tors of the town and the writer had better take his differences with him to them individually ; and I have no doubt he or she will receive the most courteous treatment. If he or she is unwilling to do this, then my reply to this anonymous writer is this: Like all anonymous letter-writ-ers. you are a coward. Cast out first the beam of cowardice out of thine own eye; and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote of insincerely out of my eye. Yours for fair play in the open, —Rev. J. P. Green. Sec Ministers' Association.

THOSE INSURGENTS.

The democratic orator stopped “for water. "The attitude of the Republican leaders toward these insurgents reminds me of the story of the brakeman and the tramp." he said. "There was a tramp on a flat car ahead of the train. '“Put him off!" said the conductor. The brakeman went forward and stood on the top of the box car overlooking the-flat. ‘“Get off!’ he shouted, brand-' ishing his fist. 1 The tramp pulled a big revol-; ver and sat there waiting for! some one to put him off. "'Did you put that tramp off?’ the conductor asked, when the brakeman came back. ‘“No, he proved to be an old college chum of mine,’ the brakeman explained. " 'That don't go!' said the conductor. ‘l'll go up and put him off myself.’ • “He was gone for some time, and when he came back he looked a little bit white for a trainman. '“Well, did you put him off?* asked the brakeman- " The conductor smiled in a sickley way. vA ‘Xo. I didn't. He proved to be an old colltsge chum of mine too/ he said.”—St. Louis PostDispatch. t
