RENSSELAER, IND., FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1892.

Miss Katie Shields, of the Putts school, was presented with a gold ring for a Christmas gift by the scholars of her school. Marriage licenses: Benjamin Swartz, Louise Schatzley; Calvin Grimme, Suda L. Grimme; Alfred Barlow, Mary C. Smith; Alonzo Rushton, Dora Bell Marlatt.

A soap manufacturer was once asked why he did newspaper advertising altogether, and not follow in the footsteps of other manufacturers putting up sign boards, printing almanacs, etc. He replied that in his experience he found that the man who does not read the newspaper never uses soap.

Three hundred and twentyfive suits have been brought against the Monon in the Putnam circuit court by the prosecuting attorney for failure to comply with the blackboard bulletin law. As the penalty for each offense is $25, half of which goes to the prosecution an conviction, the aggregate attorney’s fees in these 325 cases will amount to $4,062.50 and as much more for the state. The new sheriff of Marion county has brought suit to test the fee and salary law. Other sheriffs-elect throughout the State have joined him and the case will be taken to the higher court. This case is brought on the grounds that there are certain sections of the law which were not repealed by the act of 1891, particularly those referring to the disposition of prisoners, the appointment of bailiffs and attendance on the grand jury.

Rev. Ira Hicks, the weather prognosticator whose prophecies has been eminently successful, has predicted that cholera will be with us in the spring. As "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” much will depend upon the local health boards. Hicks may hit or miss but the reappearance of this awful disease is not improbable and an intelligent community will set to work to clean up and perpare for its ravages. Advices from Washington give notice that the treasury has ordered the shipment of 86,000 more souvenir coins to Chicago. These coins will be the last with 1892 on them, the rest of the 5,000,000 bearing the date of 1893. So far the treasury has paid out 720,000 half dollars on approved vouchers. The mint is running full capacity, 20,000 coins daily, and at that rate it will be the last of July before the issue is completed. Secret Service Officer Carter has $15,000 in counterfeit money which he will send to the Treasury department at Washington. In the collection of the money are several $500 and many $200 and $100 bills. In one bag he has 342 quarters which were secured from a sachel owned by one James Walker who was sent to the penitentiary recently for counterfeiting. Mr. Carter has been six months in making his collection.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Suda L. Grimme was granted a divorce from her husband, Calvin Grimme, at the October term of court on the charge of cruelty, he having knocked her down several times. Suda owns a farm near Virgie and shortly after the divorce was granted she hired her former husband to care for the stock. Being in the company of each other constantly the old feeling of love returned and last Saturday they were again granted license to be married, and now seem to be as happy as two cooing doves. Smoke the Mendoza cigar.

The largest part of Fair Oaks, Blackford, Wheatfield and other northern points have been in town this week, at the invitation of the grand jury. The commissioners Monday appointed Dr. M. B. Alter county health officer for the ensuing year. The new appointee succeeds Dr. V. E. Loughridge. We grind all kinds of chop feed on Tuesday and Friday of each week. W. R. NOWELS & SON. Christie Vick now has charge of the restaurant and grocery in the Nowel’s block, King’s old stand, and will be pleased to meet all his old friends. The grand jury has been in session all week and have been kept busy examining witnesses. Six or eight indictments were returned yesterday, mostly out-of-town saloon cases. They are expected to be in session all the rest of the week. This odd case at LaPorte is reported by the Argus. It is claimed that Elder Miller of that place is about to receive back pay and pension money amounting to some $6,000 for services in the Hawk war. It is said they impressed a team belonging to him into service and not wanting to lose it be enlisted and went with it. For some reason he was not discharged, and about a year ago he presented his claim against the government and is likely to receive the full amount. The man who is content to live in a country, vote and pay taxes, raise a family and support schools without keeping himself and his family posted through the medium of a good county paper is to be pitied—and his family is more to be pitied than is the cause of their ignorance; and the man who depends upon his neighbor’s paper is the worst of all of them. Exchanging papers is one thing, borrowing is another; for the former he makes a return, for the latter he might as well go to his neighbor’s meat barrel, sugar tub, meal room or potatoe pile week after week. To be a valuable citizen man must necessarily know what is going on in the county.—Ex. For a good smoke try the Safety cigar.

Mr. Alonzo Rushton and Miss Dora Bell Marlatt, both of Rensselaer, were married at the residence of the officiating clergyman, Rev. B. E. Utz, Tuesday evening at 4 o’clock. The circuit court met Monday with Judge Wiley in chair. Business is being rushed through rapidly, but the time so far has been taken up with administration and civil causes, of no special interest to the public. Charley Rhoades, the PILOT'S young typo, left yesterday for Morocco, where he will make his first venture in journalism, as editor and proprietor of the Courier. We wish him success in his new venture. Uncle Sam’s Columbian stamps made their appearance bright and early Tuesday morning. The stamps are nearly twice as long as the ordinary and as wide as the larger dimension of the common sort. The engravings are reduced from photographs of famous paintings descriptive of the events in the life of Columbus. They are of the denominations of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 and 50 cents, and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 dollars. Postmaster Rhoades will not receive a supply for some weeks yet, as he is well supplied with the old ones. A rather reckless Biddeford, (Me.) man, with no respect for law or Gospel, is said to have devised a scheme for catching trout by the wholesale, which did not work as well as he thought. He supposed that a bomb exploded in the brook would bring all the fish in it to the surface, so that he would only have to pick them up. He provided himself with a bomb powerful enough to blast a schooner out of water and went to a local brook in which there were said to be lots of trout. He fixed the fuse, ignited it and threw the bomb into the brook. As he did so his dog jumped in after it, seized it in his mouth, got back to shore, and started after his master, who was legging it across the field as fast as he could in the realization of his danger. The man had the good luck to get over a fence, which bothered the dog, and a moment later, hearing an explosion, he looked around to see his dog going skyward.

J. E. Remsburg, of Oak Mills, Kans., will lecture at the Opera House Thursday evening, January 19th. Subject: “Thomas Paine,” Admission free. No action haa yet been taken in regard to the foundry being established in Rensselaer, but the matter will be brought before a meeting of the Rensselaer Land & Improvement Company to-morrow. A Chicago editor, in a personal letter to a friend in the country, gives him this pointer, and it is a suggestion that may prove profitable to the farmers in this immediate locality. “It would be a good thing to advise all your people who have farms to raise all the garden stuff they can next year. They can make more that way than they can with wheat or grain. This town will eat up everything that can be shipped in, and if you can get such stuff as early potatoes into Chicago for anything like a reassonable freight you can get pretty near what you want for it. This is a pointer, and it is a good thing. If I owned a farm within 200 miles of Chicago I should raise all I could of some one or two kinds of vegetables, and ship them to Chicago. The demand will be beyond all reasonable supply.”

CATHOLIC NOTES. The Rev. B. Boebner conducted a forty hours' devotion at St Peter and Paul church in Ft. Wayne last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He returned on Monday and speaks highly of the devotion and piety manifested by the Catholics of that place. About 800 approached sacraments. The students gave a delight ful entertainment in the study hall of the College last Monday evening under the direction of the Rev. P. Trost. Rev. Andrew Gietl chanted vespers last Sunday afternoon in the Catholic church. Miss Mary Meyer presided at the organ in the absence of her father. The Catholic young men will meet next Sunday after vespers, in order to continue the work of organizing a dramatic club. Names of charter members will be enrolled and officers elected. Last Monday requiem highmass was celebrated for the late Katharine Eiglesbach in which the members of the Rosary Sodality approached the sacraments.
