piness and business prosperity, and

in making Jasper the jewel of the State for healthfiilness, and business activity.

1 he records of the Hoard of Health show hat the deaths in Jasper in

1.V.I2 were 1(5, and in 1S!K! onlv 11,

or only four-lift! s of one percent, of

population in 1X5)2, and 11-20 of

one per cent, in w.ui. Tins is a

record for the health of the town

equaled by no place of 2,000 inhab

itants or over in Southern Indiana,

and demonstrates that as a health

resort it is up to the standard of the

most, iavoreu places in .aniornia. The citizens of the town have become so accustomed to its beautiful surroundings tbat they hardly realize themselves4 the blessings they receive from being permitted to reside in so healthful a locality, surrounded by so many elevating and energizing characteristics, and with such grand business

possibilities as arc patent immediately to all outside business men who come to Jasper for pleasure, health, rest or business. Jasper is situated on the banks of I'atoka river, one of the most rapid Mowing streams of the West, with a fall averaging about six feet to the mile, thus carrying off with each Spring rise of the water all deleteri-

ous accumulations, and leavum its

mnks in a clean, healthful condi

tion. This accounts for the healthy appearance of residents of Jasper

generally, and for the small ratio of sickness and mortality prevailing within itslintits. Thestreani abounds

with the best fish the spirited and lighting black bass and sun fish, cat fish, suckers and buffaloes predominating, and affording opportunities

also furnishes an abr fiance of wa

ter for manufactories, and healthful

and unfailing wells all through the town, as it percolates through the

sand underlying the earth from 20

io .'50 feet deep. On its bosom, at

the annual rises thousands of saw

logs of the linest quality of white

oan, walnut and yellow poplar an floated to the Jasper market. Jasper is surrounded by beautifu mounds, in many of which an ex

steam coal, which is largely used,

instead ot sand, as foundations un

der the brick side-walks. Run ofi

mine coal, and lump, is delivered at

the court house for the county at

f 1.07' per ton: and to to citizens

generally for domestic use, at $1.75;

per ton. it is cheaply mined by

drifting under the side of a hill.

The veins are from four to four feet,

six luetics in inicKuess, ana mere

are seven mines worked near the

or and received bv the Commission

ers in June, 1S-17. In 1S75 this was enlarged to nearly double its former size, costing 'the countv $3,685 more, and the contractor,

Mr. E. A. IIoeliL'esanir. nearlv

$1,000 from his own pocket. It

made a very commodious building

ior me. tune.

Tho county jail and sheriffs' resi

dence was built in 1SG9, by E. A. Hooligcsang and George Friedman, contractors, at' a cot of 3.G20.

This was enlarged in 1893 by the addition of a stone jail house," with eight roomy iron cells, with double bunks, at a total cost of about $7,500, and giving the county

an excellent jail, and accommodations for 20 prisoners.

The business of Jasper during 1S93 was somewhat curtailed bv

the stringency incident to the effort of Eastern bankers to .control the

government, and yet there was no 1 r i

ii uusmess iauure or suspension among Jasper business firms, but all met their liabilities promptly, and did a large and prosperous business. There was over a million

and a i.-df of brick put in houses in J asper in 1893. There wits built, in factories, business bouses and resi

dences, forty-five nice buildings, the largest of which is the new office

desk factory.

The Union Flour Mtlln, On North Mill street in Jasper, is

one of the best flour mills in Southern Indiana, its capacity being about

75 barrels of flour per day. It is

owned by two as straight and square business men as the world contains

Mr. Edward A. Bohnert and Mr.

lbert Bohnert, Mothers, and na

tives of Jasper, who conduct tho business under the firm name of

Bohnert Brothers. They are sons

of the late Wendolin Bohnert, a

turdy blacksmith and fanner, and

one of the pioneers of the town, who died Feb. 10, 187G. The mill also grinds corn, and the firm deals

I largely in grain and seeds in addi

tion to their milling. They handled last year 10,000 bushels of grain, and shipped 200 cars of flour, wheat

'and seed, the business aggregating

probably $75,000. The owners were both farmers when they bought tho mill in 1890. Albert was bom Sept. 27,. 1867,
