Jasper Republican, Volume 2, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 October 1875 — Page 2

Ths Jasper Bejlica. RENSSELAER, Ind., Oct. 1, 1875.

The election in Ohio and lowa will take place one week from next Tuesday. The prospects are good for Republican victories. . The Pennsylvania Democracy have declared for inflation, and the New York Democratic platform demands a return to specie payments, Secretary Delano has finally sent in his resignation as Secretary of the Inte- ( rior, which the President has accepted to take effect October 1. Old Independence Hall at Philadelphia is to have a new bell for use at the National Centennial. Alcneeley and Kimberly of Troy are making the tintinnabulator, and it is to weigh 13,000 pounds. Dr. Louis A. Boswell, of Alabama, claims to have invented a practicable flying machine which he describes as a fish that swims in the air, equipped with the power to drive and guide itself through the medium in which he floats, just as the natural fish, by the use of his fins and tail and the gyrations of its body, drives and guideshimself through the medium in which he floats. A Tennessee paper announces the death of Mr. Slusher, and says: “He was only nineteen year? old, and when young had a very severe attack of rheumatism, ■which drew him out of shape. If Mr. Slusher had not been a cripple he would lave been nine feet high. His boot was •eighteen inches long, and one of his hands was about the size of four ordinary ones. He could sit in a chair and pick up anything three foet from him. He measured seven and a half feet around the ■chest.”.

Are Advertisements Read.

The following appeared in the LaPorte Chronicle under the above caption, and it may be of benefit to some of the readers of the Republican. Hence we give it a place in our columns: The advertisements are read more than many persons suppose. A very distinguished man recently said that he never read anything else in a newspaper but the advertisements. By them he could ascertain the size of the town, who were doing the business, what men stood at the head of the various trades and professions; could in short, get a more correct idea of the business life and enterprise of the town than he could obtain in any ether way. And there is truth in bis words, and wisdom also. Business men make a great mistake when they suppose that advertisements are not read, and on the other hand, if there are any who do mot read them, we can assure them that they lose one of the best parts of the paper, that which conveys as much local information as any other.

Family Newspapers.

Their value is by no means appreciated, but the rapidity with which people are waking up to their necessity and usefulness, is one of the significant signs of the times. Few families are now content •with one newspaper. The thirst for knowledge is not so easily satisfied, and books, though useful, yea, absolutely necessary in their place, fail to meet the demands of youth or age. Our family newspaper is eagerly sought and its contents devoured; then comes the demand for national and foreign news. Next to the political comes the liteiary and scientific journals. All these are demanded to satisfy the cravings of the active mind. Family newspapers are valuable to material prosperity. They spread before the reader a map on which may be traced •character and progress. If a stranger /Calls at a hotel, he first calls for the newspaper ; if a friend comes from a distance, the next thing after the family greeting ' he inquires for your family paper, and you feel discomfited if you are unable to find ■a late eopy, and confounded if yon are compelled to say you do not take it. Family newspapers are just as necessary to fit a family for its true position in life, as food or raiment. Show us a ragged, -bare-footed boy, rather than an ignorant -one. His head will cover his feet in after life, if he be well supplied with newspapers. He will make his mark in the world, if you gratify that desire for knowledge. Other things being equal, it is a rule that never fails. A family newspaper is a family need. The Republican will be sent to any address, postage prepaid, on receipt of f 1.50.

REMINGTON RECORD ITEMS.

Jasper Guy moved town this week. Business has been quite lively in town this week. Pat Lally is erecting an addition to his blacksmith shop. There has not been frost enough yet to damage the corn to any extent. The County Surveyor commenced the survey of Remington last Wednesday. A coat of paint has improved the appearance? of 8. M. Black’s building on Ohio street. H. C. Goldsberry and wife are in Carlisle, Penn., enjoying eastern life, so says a private letter to friends. Mr. James Peffley has sold his farm in White county, and will take up his residence in this place shortly. Rensselaer is ahead on the centennial tea party business. Sixty-three dollars was sent to the general fund, as the proceeds of the party there last week. John Shaw's Newfoundland dog, “Zeno,” was poisoned last week, from the effects of which he died. “Zeno” was atown pet, and his absence from our streets will be noticed. Some scalawag shot a fine steer for Wm. Railsback, Tuesday. It is supposed that it was done by some hunter, who could be made to pay dearly for the shot, aa Mr. Railsback had forbid any hunting on his farm. The pocket boook, containing $1 in currency and a paper with the names of persons who ware contributing to the cause of the heathen—away from home—was claimed and returned to the owner, last Saturday. And thereby ‘'hangs a tale.” We are too full for utterance.

The busines prospects of R migton are brightening with each day. The county is rapidly filling up with a thrifty class of farmers, and today ao Uwn enjoys a better reputation abroad for business than Remington, and no country where land is more marketable or brings a better price than that so rrounding our wide-awake place. Some time has been occupied by the work* men in settling the etone columns for the fronts of the new brick buildings. The work was finally completed, and Monday morning the brick-layers commenced work, and the buildings are now rapidly nearing completion; and we hope we can shortly chronicle the fact, for the benefit of the Rensselaer Union, of the laying of the roofs —to hold the walls down, you know. How is it that it costs lOcts. per hundred pounds to ship corn from this place to Logansport on the P., (J. & St. Louis railroad, a distance of 40 miles, and from that city to to Toledo, ria the D., E. & I. road, a distance of 190 miles, ouly 9 cents? It costs just as much to ship a car load of corn from Remington to Logansport as it does from the, State Line to that city, and yet we are nineteen miles east ofthe State Line. This gives Remington, Goodland and Wolcott grain merchants a poor show with other towns along this route, as they have no other means of shipping, while the others have the Lafay et Ie & Chicago, and C. L. & C. Roads, either of which carry grain at more reasonable rates. We don’t believe in legislating railroads out of existence, but we do think that our legislature should make laws to control railroad companies sufficiently to bring their freight tariff within a reasonable bound, and not allow them to bleed a country simply because they have the advantage, and can do so. If the D., E. & I. road can make money hauling corn itfc miles at 9 cents per hundred, this road can make a better margin at 5 cents per hundred, distance of only 40 miles. The D., E. & I. is either loosing money, or the P. C. & St. L. is charging this people thribble rates for freight, and any sensible person will readily conclude that the latter is the most probable. This is one of the best (if not the best) shipping points on this road between Peoria and Logansport, and there is no other motive for these high rates, than to swindle the people, because they have no recourse.

THE NORTH CAROLINIANS.

This celebrated band of genuine black people are engaged by the Ladies' Aid Society, at a great expense, to give ns one of their inimitable concerts at the Court House in Rensselaer, next Wednesday evening, October 6th, 1875. There are nine of them—five ladies and- four gentlemen from the plantations of the South, and they render their old time songs, exactly after their manner. They are said to have had their audiences at one time roaring with laughter, and at another, shedding tears. They come to us highly recomended by both thepreas and pulpit. We earnestly request all to attend.

* COLOSSAL GOLD SHEAF S& ! Seed Wheat. The attention of Farmers is specially invited to this new cereal, which for 1U prolific qualities, hardiness and freedom from disease, perhaps outrivals nil other acclimated varieties. Ito perfect adaptationtdevoy variety ofsoil and climate makes it a peculiar favorite with both American and British Farmers. It matures in about twenty days less . time than oats.“®g ~ 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 send sample specimen heads to Farmers on receipt of ten cents, by mail, which will be a life evidence of the enormous growth of the wheat. Agents to whom we have sent spccimen-hevds ar J making enormous profits, showing the heads to their neighbors, and taking orders.) The stalk is sufficiently strong to support the head and prevent its 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 ns Ontario and Quebec, and as far South as New Mexico, proving its perfect adaptation to everv variety of soil and climate in North America. Terms, Cash.

TEE OLE LIKE lEEE STDHE. THE GREAT AMERICAN EXPLORER, MAJOR MUCKLESWORTH, 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 bad encountered Deacon Tubbs and bis Party> and after three days of hard bombardment had captured him and his whole party, and now have them confined in the rVew Brick Building on the South Side>f Washington Street, Wo. 1004. one door east of F. J. 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, Xaieutu Meyer and Will Perigrim. Young Perigrim was wounded by an accidental discharge of Meyer’s piece, but young Perigrim, at last accounts, was doing well; he was using RAD WA Y’S READY RESOLVENT for his Blood, one bottle of WALLACE’S BITTEnS for his Digestive Organs, and three boxes of M’ALESTER’S ALL HEALING SALVE fer hrs wound. It is thought by his nurse that he will recover. The Major, in the long exposure with Deacon Tubbs, eheering on hismen, took a severe cold which settled in his throat, but by using a bottle of Dr. Harding’s Celebrated Cougli Mixture. we are happy to inform the public that be is able to be out again, and at the NEW BRICK STORE compounding Drugs and Medicines, where the Deacon and the Major are found at all times dealing out Medicines to their They would say to their friends that they have, or did have, a Large Stock of DRUGS, MEDICINES, PAINTS, OILS and DYE STUFFS.

WEEDS!!!! Wc are tho sole agents for Jasper and Newton counties, for the introduction of a new and improved Weed. After years of trial it has proved to be hardy. It partakes of the double nature es the Iron and the (Smart weed; is not a field pest, but a family favorite. We refer to the world renowned and justly celebrated WEED (F. F.) SEWING MACHINES. They received the first prize at the Paris Exposition or World’s Fair of 1867; the Gold Medal and first prize at. the State Fairs of Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Vermont and Minnesota; of the Mechanic’s and Union Fairs of Maryland, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island ; at the great New Englaud Fair of 1868, and at fifty-five other Fairs and Institutes, when it was in competition with all the machines of its own class—Singer, Howe, Grover & Baker, Wheeler & Wilson. Domestie and Florence: besides, with others of some notoriety, as the Wilson, American, Wilcox & Gibbs. Secor, Davis, Remington and Victor (old Finkle & Lyon). It excels in light running, durability, simplicity of structure, ease of adjustment and management, wide range of work and beauty of finish, in its tension, take up and shuttle. A child eight, years old can operate them. An invalid can use it with decided benefit to health—so light running aud noiseless is its action. There are nearly 300,000 of them innse—over fifty in this and Newton counties. We refer to Mrs. A. Thompson, Mr. Henry Brnce and over thirty other f, milies who are using them.
