mfpor the benefit of Jasper it
in to be hoped the Black Diamond
R. R. will be located on the North side of the town. A switch would
then give us a belt road.
aTThe Jasper Trustees should open the streets already laid out to
full width, and all the alleys be
tween lots in town now provided for,
before ordering any new streets
opened.
"Natural gas in over 300 stoves
and grates in Petersburg is a dem
onstration of its superiority as a fuel,
and is a great luxury, which all our people visiting there should take
note of. Jasper should have it.
aTSheriff Cassidy took Wm. Solomon to the Southern Insane Hospital yesterday. The Cocrikb predicts he will be turned out a free
man in a few months, unless the
managers want a farm hand for the
next year.
SThere have been 49 paupers.
some of them with wealthy relatives, a . . a ax
received at me Dubois county poor
asylum since Jan. 1st, 1897, and 34 died or discharged. There are 17 now being cared for there, among
tbem H who were there when Supt
Melchior took charge. Four of the
inmates are girls under 15 years of
age, who will under the law, be taken to some orphans' home after
January 1, next. Dubois county
should have a home for them.
EDUCATIONAL COLUMN. Edited by K. F. 8 vth island, Superintendent Jaapr Schools Introductory. The editor of the Courier has kindly placed at our command a column for educational purposes, for which in the beginning, we wish to thank him. We take upon ourselves this extra duty in behalf of the interest we feel in education. It seems to us that a column properly conducted will stimulate school interests in any county, particular
ly so in a town the size of Jasper, and finally subserve a piactically good end. In that direction the editor will lend his every energy. This column is intended, first, to promote the immediate interests of the Jasper schools, and secondly, those of Dubois county and the
educational world in general. Through this medium the patrons
and friends of our schools will learn of their true standing and condition,
and of their regulations and re
quirements. A complete report of all the schools will be published
monthly. We invite a careful reading of it, and solicit a hearty co oper
ation of the patrons to improve it
if possible.
V e invite the correspondence of
the teachers of Dubois County. We wish to know what they are doing
and how they are doing it. Like
wise their contemporaries like to
read of their success, and manage
ment of school affairs, and to hear
suggestions for their own improvement. Anything of school news,
or pertaining to the helpfulness of the country schools will be accorded space in proportion as we can spare it.
With this brief explanation, and
asking the intelligent indulgence and support of the educational public, we begin the issue of this de
partment of the Courier, we trmt,
in tue mutual interests, of sreat
good.

In Jail. Robt. Jones, of Colum
bia township visited Dubois Satur
day last, and took on so much brain
destroyer that hs became quarrelsome hilarious, and drawing a revolver shot around him promiscuously. He was arrested for carry
ing concealed weapons, and Squire
Hemmerlem assessed him $5 fine and $8.30 costs, and sent him to
jailfto board it out. Constable,
. Hoffman brought him in. When
his time is up he will be arrested
for shooting with intent to kill, and
will likely go back to jail. So much
for boote.
SBTThe evidence in the applict-
tion of C Doane for an injunction
against the town trustees of Jasper,
to restrain them from attempting to
extend 5th street, was heard by
Judge My, at Petersburg, on Monday, and taken under advisement,
with orders to the President of the trustees that nothing should be
done in the matter until the case should be decided. The expense to the town of this suit wculd have
been saved if the agreement by the town attorney at the Oct. term of
the Dubois Circuit Court had been
adhered to by the town board.

She says they were engaged to be married. The developments have1
caused considerable excitement. Professor H. W. Wiley, chief of the division of chemicals of the department of agriculture, has been persuing a line of investigation on the subject of beet culture in the West, and in a letter to Senator Fairbanks on the subject he writes : "I am fully convinced that there are many localities in Indiana which have advantages equal if not superior to any parts of this country, outside of the irrigated areas aal some points on the Pacific coast, for the cultivation and production of the lugar beet. Indiana ought to look forward to making at least all the sugar she consumes, and this is not only a possible but probable outcome of the investigations which are now making in this line of r gricul tural progress. ' 1 The farmers of Indiana have been told that they have an excellent soil and climate for raising sugar beets, and thelconcluskm reached by Professor Wiley is strong confirmation of the opinions previously entertained,
