Jasper Republican, Volume 1, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1875 — Page 2

RENSSELAER, IhcL Anguat 27.1875.

The California election comes off next Wednesday. . «. ... Ten dollar notes on the National Bank, of Richmond, Ind., are in circulation. Reports from the Black Hills are still conflicting as to the mineral resources, bat all agree as to its being an excellent agricultural district. Andrew Johnson showed bis shrewdness by making a careful provision for mourners. He got his life insured in various offices for $350,000. Ex-Senator George E. Pugh refuses to ■fake the stump fur the Democratic ticket in Ohio. Mr. Pugh is one of the ablest Democrats in Ohio, if not in the West. In the recent election in North Carolina, the Republicans carried the state by a majority of 15,000 —a gain of over 30,000. Hurrah for the “Old North -State!” The Searsville resovuir dam near BpnDgfield, Mass., broke away last week causing great destruction to property. These “dam disasters” are becoming quite too frequent. It is said the Democrats of New York have raised $200,000 to secure the reelection of Gov. Gaston, of Massachusetts, with a view to making him theii Presidential candidate in 1876.

The assignee of Duncan, Sherman & Co., has made a statement showing that the total liabilities jof the Arm amount to $4,916,015, and the assets, $2,775,645, thus leaving a deficit of $2,140,368. The lowa City Republican thinks all the members of the Republican party in -Johnsou county who have heretofore gone wandering off after Anti-Monopoly and other delusions, will vote for Kirkwood. Indianapolis is to have the advantage of a fast mail train from New York after the 16th of next month. The mails will arrive in Indianapolis from New York in twenty-six hours or fifteen hours earlier than at present. The Columbus Republican says: the officers of the Bartholomew County Agricultural Society telegraphed Mr. Davis on Monday last they would depeud on him being here on the 17th or 18th of next month, due notice of which will be given.

The Postmaster-General has arranged with the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company for a monthly U. S. mail -between San Francisco, Japan and China, at sea postages rates as full compensation for services, which will amount to not >over SSOO a month. We are now assured that Theodore Tilton has no purpose of haring a new trial of his suit against Mr. Beecher.— That recent acts of his counsel have been with reference to the costs of the former trial, for which the plaintiff would be responsible should he withdraw his suit from the courts. Even Mr. Charles Nordhoff has got sight of Sheridan’s “banditti.” He says ■'‘They arc gamblers and political bummers; they drink whisky and swagger in barrooms, armed with revolvers and knives, -and it was for some years their habit, when they needed excitement, to shoot a nigger,” and he declares that “to have them hang by the dozen would have been the first duty of a good ruler in Louisiana.” The following table, compiled 'from reports in the hands of the State Beard of Equalization, forms a comparative statement of the value of farm products and live stock in Indiana for the years 1874 and 1875: 1874. 1875. , Wheat, bushels 20,825,022 23,552,000 •Corn, bushels 73,970,658 82,780.937 Hogs, head 2,883,654 2,408.637 Cattle, head..; 1,275,265 1,183,179 Mules, head 62,005 Is! 61.397 Horses, head 518,102 511,136

The Rev. Dr. Cyrus N utt, for fifteen years President of the Indiana State University, at Bloomington, died at that place last Monday from remittant fever. Dr. Nutt was one of the most successful educators in the country, and has loug held a position in the front rank of prominent thinkers and writers of the M. E. Church. His remains were taken to Greencastle for burial, on the 24th instant. The editorial excursionists to Mammoth Cave returned last Saturday.— There were seventy in tho party. The LaFayeUe Courier says: “Manager Ainsworth will take the Editorial Association to Florida in January, to California next summer, and to England, Scotland, France and Italy in 1877. He has partially arranged for all of these excursions. We suppose he has many others in his mind’s eye, and will have piloted the Indiana editors over the whole world before he retires.”

Mr. Hicks, the husband .of the woman who shot and killed Kinney last week, was wae arrested and tried as sn accomplice before Esq. Root, Inst Thursday, found guilty and. ordered to jail to await the meeting of our next Circuit Court ••On Wednesday of this week Hick* was before Judge Hammond, on a writ of habeas corpus and by the Judge held to bail, to await ihe action of the Grand Jury, in the sum of SI,OOO. Just as we go to press we understand that Hicks has filled his bond and is out oa bail.— Kcntland Gazette. The lady managers of the approaching Centennial entertainment, in Indianapolis, have decided on a recitation of an original poem as one feature of the occasion, competition for the honor to be confined to this State. An invitation is therefore extended to the professional and amateur poets oit Indiana to compete for the prize—a centennial tea-set —by forwarding the best products of their patriotic genius. The list is open to all, and every offering will receive candid consideration. Manuscripts maj’ be addressed to Mrs. O. P. Morton, or Miss Mary Rariden of Indianapolis. • The Savannah News. —We again feel called upon to invite the attention of our readers to this meritorious journal, the Daily and W eekly issues of which have so rapidly reached every section of the State, within the last few years, that the Ncics has become a household word in Georgia. The enterprise of the publisher, and industry and ability of the editorial corps, has made the News what it is—a first-class journal; ind there is every assuiance that it will continue in the same proud career. We cordially commend it to the favorable consideration of all who desire to secure a live metropolitan paper. —Monroe ( Ga ) Advertiser.

INDIANA SOLDIERS’ REUNION

At Indianapolis, October 14-10. The Soldiers’ Reunion at Indianapolis on the 14th and 15th days of October, next, will include—1. All Union Soldiers of Indiana, who served in the late war. 2. All such Soldiers from other States, now living in Indiana. 3. Soldiers of the Mexican war. 4. Soldiers of tho war of 1812. 5. Sailors living in Indiana who served in any of the above wars. A regular encampment will be formed in old Camp Morton —now the State Fair Grounds —have been selected for that purpose, if permission can be had so use the grounds. It is expected that the Quartermaster will be able to procure all the necessary equipage from the State. Arrangements will also be made for reduced rates at hotels. The committee on railroad transportation is arranging for special routes on all Indiana roads. The first day will be devoted to social enjoyment at the regimental headquarters, each regiment being left free to determine how this shall be conducted. If speakers are wanted they will select them for themselves. It is desired that the members of the regimen ts^ re-enroll .their names, at this time, giving their postoffice address and occupation. The second day the Soldiers will parade by regiments and batteries, carrying their old colors, and passing in review before President Grant, and Gens. Sherman, Sheridan and other distinguished officers who have been invited to be present, the wounded of each regiment having the post of honor, it being expected that the citizens of Indianapolis will furnish carriages for their transportation during the procession. An address of welcome will be made by Gov. Morton, who will be responded to on behalf of the Soldiers of Indiana and the visitors from abroad, after which an organization will be effected to secure the erection of a monument to,the deceased Union Soldiers of Indiana. A full programme, giving-- all * the details, will be published as soon atf completed. Counties not already organized for the Reunion, are Urged to do so, by assembling such Soldiers as can be gotten together without delay, and appointing an executive committee of one for each township. The latter should at once call township meetings, and make arrangements for securing the attendance of every Soldier at the Reunion. On the former will devolve the duty of seeing that all information regarding the Reunion is promptly published through the local press, or, if that is unfriendly, by means of handbills. It will also ascertain and announce the rates of transportatiou and the time of leaving its locality for Indianapolis, and do such other things as it may deem conducive to the success of the Reunion- It is further requested that such committees report their names to this committee as soon as appointed. This will be the first State Reunion since the war of the rebellion, ten years since, and it is confidently expected that Soldiers in Indiana, regardless of differences of opinion, will eheerfolly assist in incking.it a grand success. Let us meet together as comrades once more, and around the camp fire renew the friendship of other days.

Everything in lovely. Apples are very scarce. •Farmers are stacking thear oats. The melon time is here with all its glorias. Bimon Wllmore is sojourning In our midst William Wilmore wants to sell and go West Rober Michael has recovered from>is recent severe illness. John Timmons has gone to Boswell, Benton county, to buy him a form. ’Squire Lewis has returned from Illinois where be hasbeen visiting friends. John Eller has got back from Warren.county. He reports hard times on the Wabash. The young folks aroniid Mount Prospect meet every Wednesday evening to practice singing. There will be a picnic, base ball snd a dance in Galey’s Grove, Saturday, the 4th of September. A good crowd Is expected. Farmers have got most all of their oats cut.. Some cut them with scythes, some mowedrihem, some reaped them, and others did not save them at all. When there were thirty or forty acres to be cut and it had to be done with scythes it looked like an impossibility ; but many done this, and most of the oate were saved. Egyptian.

Caret Initio et Fine.

(Which is some more Latin.) Charley Hathaway ••eturned last Saturday night with a bran new wife. Corkins still tells his snake story occasionally, and he is getting to believe it himself. , “John Syler’ ‘ has had a severe attack of the mully-grubs, hence the last two issues of the Record were minus his bow. Some of the fest stock of Remington have gone to the races at Templeton to show the the Benton county chaps how to make the mile in 7; 49. The Pan Handle base ball club, of Monticello, took the wind out of the sails of the White Stockings, of Remington, last Thursday—3B to 29. There are about eighteen hunters and eleven dogs to every prairie chicken in this end of the couhty. The worst of the joke is that the chickens are noun of them Demo crats; they can all read, and they hunt around fora farm where haDgs the sign: “No Shooting Allowed on this Farm,” and there they sit and pick their teeth while they sing : “There is no use knocking at the Door,” and watch the dogs with their hunters, sitting on a rock, outside, eating beer and drinking “Swibser Ease.” “Oh 1 A Hunters Life is the Life for me.” “Shellßark” got himself into trouble writing for the Record. He couldn’t let folks alone. Whenever he saw a man running around minding everybody else’s business but his own he must characterize that man as a jack--knife carpenter and log-house joiner, and accuse him of lacking in courage. “Shell Bark” wont do so any'more, for one day on the fair ground, this same! man, whom he had slaßderedso outrageously, went (or him, and then you onght to have seen “S. B.’’ shake, and tremblej and beg. I tell you the miserable hound 1 bought his time had come. G'O d enough for him. He is always pitching into sombedy—bach-biting and crossfiring. W'hy can’t he let folks alone? Suppose a man does try help his neighbors adjust their little difficulties by mobbing, hanging, replevying, &c., etc., is it any of “Shell Bark’s” business? Nay verily? Is it a fact tbat those five R asons who went to Rensselaer, last Wednesday night, 'from Remington, got on a big drunk while there? “Shell Bara’s” “j. k. c.’* and “1. h.j.” would like to know. Spitz. (We have made some inqury in regard to the five gentlemen referred to aud find they were duly soboi while in Rensselaer— Ed.)

Ita perfect adaptation to every varietv of soil ai.d climate mak- s it a peculiar fovorite with both American and British Fanners. It matures in about twenty days less time than oats.~^t It is a remarkable grain to stand severe drought. It yields from 40 to 90 bushels per acre. The beads will average ten inches in length. (We 'will tend sample specimen heads to Farmers on receipt of ten cents, by mail, which wilt be a life evidence of the enormous grow hos the wheat. Agents to whom we have sent specimen-heads ««•-> making enormous profits, showing'the heads to their neighbors, and taking orders.) i The stalk is sufficiently str mg to support the headand prevent ita lodging. The grain for stock is equal, if not superior, to Indian corn. It ripens while the stalk is yet green. We have tested its superiority as far North et Ontario and Quebec, and as far South as New Mexico, proving its perfect adaptation to every variety of Boil and climate in North America. Terms, Cash.

TOE OLD LIKE DEED STORE. THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUG KLES WORTH, has been heard from. The last account we had of him was up to the 17th day of March, 1875, in latitude 41 £ degrees west longitude from Washington where he had encountered Deacon Tubbs and bis Party, and after three days of hard bombardment hnd captured him and his whole party, and now have them confined in the J¥ew Brick Building on the South Bide>Y Washington Street, Ufo. 1004. one door east of F.tf. Sears & Co’s dry goods store. The Deacon and his party made a gallant resistance at the old stand on the north side of the street , but the Major was a little too strong for him and captured him and his subordinates, Lieuti Meyer and Will Ferigrim. Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s pieee, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RAD WAY’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BTTTE S for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALBSTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE for his wound. It is thought.by his nurse that be will recover. The Major, in the long exposure /yvith Deacon Tubbs, cheering on his men, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Harding’s Celebrated Cough mixture, we are happy to inform the public that he is able to be out again, and at theNEVV BRICK STORE compounding Drugs snd Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major are foand at all times dealing out Medicines to their numerous Customers.
