There were ten marriage licenses issued last month, against fourteen for the preceding month and twelve for the corresponding month of 1917. Jasper county’s subscriptions to the Third Liberty loan have now reached $4 25,000 and it is possible that they will go to $450,000. Our minimum allotment was $170,000. Marriage licenses issued: May 1, George A. Miller of Wheatfield, aged 34 December 21 last, laborer, . and Mabie Harriet Jones, (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, formerly of Rensselaer) also of Wheatfield, aged 19 October 13 last, housekeeper.

The liquors brought here from White county to be used in evidence against Clint Casto, charged with conducting a blind tiger at Reynolds, and who entered a plea of guilty on two of the indictments and was fined SSO and $25, respectively, and costs, and the liquors ordered destroyed by the court, were emptied into the Iroquois river Wednesday by Sheriff McColly. Peter DeGroot and Lewis James Williams of Remington, John Terborg of Keener township and Freddie G. Lange of Wheatfield, four Jasper county conscripts called to Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, in response to an official call from the government, left for that place Wednesday. Young Williams was in Missouri at the time and went direct from there to Ft. Thomas. Rensselaer was full of Republican candidates for office Wednesday. Among the number was Dwight M. Kinder of Gary, who is a candidate for renomination for joint senator for the counties of Lake, Porter, Jasper and Newton. Kinder may run well in Lake county. where it used to be almost complete ostracism for a candidate for office to oppose the liquor traffic either by word or deed, but he was lined up too closely with thesse interests, it is said, in the last legislature to receive a very hearty support in the dry counties of Jasper and Newton. iH® Republican opponent. William Brown of Hebron, also Burke Walker of Fowler, who is seeking the toga of W. L. Wood for joint representative of Benton, Jasper and Newton ocunties, were also looking after their interests before the primaries next Tuesday. (C. O. Holmes, also of Gary and likewise a Republican candidate for joint senator, was looking after his fences here Thursday. Through some error some place Mr. Holmes’ name was not included in the list of candidates published in the official list, but* his name appears on the Republican ballot.
