Dr. J. H. Loughridge. Geo. M. Robinson and ,1. R. Eight were at Momence Tuesday. They report that 400 workmen are engaged in taking out the lodge of rock in the Kankakee river and that the work will be completed this fall. No drilling is required to loosen the rock, crow bars only being used. The rock is of a tine quality and of much better quality that that found in the Iroquois at Rensselaer. Penningtou. the head man of the central Indiana Electric Railroad, has lied from Noblesville, and the brilliant scheme to connect the gas towns by an electric railroad is to be abandoned. Itjappears that of a capital stock of $;),000,000, not a cent has been paid in by the stockholders, and but $6,000 of this amount has been subscribed. While the collapse of the scheme is a disappointment to the interested towns, yet the principle sufferers are the workmen, who have been employed at grading for the past three weeks, and will not receive a cent, and in many cases are destitute.—Kentland Enterprise.

One word describes it—“perfection.” We refer to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, cures obstinate sores, burns, skin diseases and is a well known cure for piles. A, F, IjfQNQ & Co.

THE REMINGTON FAIR.

A Failure In Everything But the Sjtevd Nitty and Xumber of tiambievH and Robber « Present. The Remington fair this year was a decided failure and the association will come out many dollars behind if the premiums are paid in full. The attendance was small. The occasion was taken advantage of by the gamblers, cut throats and robbers, who carried away many dollars. Gambling of all kinds was carried on in the grounds, and was licensed by the association. The Press, of that town has the following items in regard to the fair: The exhibition of agricultural products at the fair this year were conspicuous only by thenabsence, while the exhibits in the live stock departments were very slim indeed. In the floral hall the exhibits were not up to the Usual number or grade. The entries in the speed ring were greater than for several years and the racing was good. It might also-be added that more than the usual number of huxters, fakirs, etc., were on hand. * * * The Rensselaer Stock Farm Was right “in it” as usual and carried away most of the purses in the speed ring. * * Judge M iley aud Prosecuting Attorney Brown attended the fair Thursday, but kept away from the tiger’s lair. * * * Tuesday night as “Sip” Hascall was returning from the fair grounds, after having taken'a load of goods out, he was held up by a couple of toughs just this side of the grounds, in the hollow, who shoved two revolvers into his face and politely requested him to hand over his boodle. They were accommodated as quickly as possible, getting something over eight dollars for their trouble. -‘Sip” says that one l-evolver would have been sufficient to have taken the pile, and that the other man could have been doing business j with some oxxe else. They both had cloths or handkerchiefs over their faces so that they could not be recognized. They were probably some of the numerous followers of the fairs.

Owing to thev high wind the balloon ascension did not take place Thursday. * * # As usual, the “chuck-a-luclc” gangcarried away between SI,OOO and $2,000. * * * As a result of other fair associations deciding not to hold exhibitions this year, all of the fakirs, gamblers, thieves, thugs and cut-throats who usually follow up the different fairs, all came to Remington, and never before has there been such a tough crowd of these people at our fair as this year. Nothing was too rich to get a place on the grounds. * * * A hackman was held up on the grounds about 6 o’clock Wednesday morning by a couple of masked men with drawn revolvers and convinced that he had no particular use for a five dollar bill—all the money he had—except to hand it over to them. They were probably the same parties who held up “Sip” Hascall the night before.

A Rare Treat.

Prof. Wm. Goetzes Band of 33 pieces heard hei-e yestei'day with Cook & Whitby’s English Circus was, without exception, the finest w T e have ever listened to. Their rendering of the classical overtures of “Win. Tell” and “Semiramide” delighted thousands at the afternoon performance and in the evening the magnificent strains of Wagner’s tremendous “Tannliauser” filled the immense canvass, packed to the ring bank, with enraptured auditoi-s. Prof. Muller, our Albany maesti'o, states that there is but one other band in America capable of playing this music at all, and that is Gilmore’s. To musicians we have only to say that this matchless organization is composed of five clarionets, 2 flutes, 2 piccolos, 1 sololetto, 2 saxophones, 2 French horns, 2 bassoons, 2 oboes, 5 cornets, 2 altos, 2 baritones, 2 tubas, 1 double b bass, snare and bass drum and bell player, and every man an artist. We have not space to mention the performance in detail, but will say it was a century ahead of any other circus that ever visited Albany and easily made good its claim of being the “foremost show of all this world.” A visit to it bestows a

liberal education on its patrons. —Albany Enquirer.

Gravel Roads.

In order that every voter may study fairly the gravel road question we submit the following statement: The board having fixed Sept. 9, 1893, for the special election this time cannot now be changed. A delay could only be secured for good cause in term time if at all. Should the voters favor building the roads, the letting can be postponed such term as may be most favorable to the tax payers. The bonds, if any are issued, must be payable, principal|and interest, on Nov. 15th. These bonds will be in five equal series. They will bear six per cent interest, and must sell at or above par. The letting must be at or below the estimate. The proceeds of the bonds must be paid to the contractor as a special fund. To pay these bonds all the taxable property of both town and township is liable prorata, according to its assessed value. Suppose that each series of bonds was $7,000 and the assessed value of all property was $1,750,000, then it would require for each SI,OOO of assessed value a tax of $5.20 the first, $4.96 for the second, $4.72 for the third, $4.48 for the fourth and $4.24 for the fifth year to pay both principal and interest. The above statement will enable every .voter to deliberate on his gravel road tax. Under this law the expenses are all paid by the county.

GILLAM.

Land buyers are in this vicinity. Guild McJimsey has re turned home from Valparaiso. Medaryville was well represented at our basket meeting. Epworth League next Sunday evening at 4 o’clock. All are invited, A number of our old soldiers are going to attend the G. A. R. encampment. The normalites returned home from Rensselaer last Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Wiley preached his farewell sermon at Independence church last Sunday. Water-melon patches are in danger this year and so are the boys who enter them. Most of our young folks went to Medaryville last Sunday evening to hear the elder preach. G. S. Guild had a very severe attack of cholera morbus last Saturday, but is now improving. Found—A dozen or more good old Democrats who have lost all faith in their beloved party. Elder Smith failed to put in an appearance at our quarterly meeting. This is not the first

j time the people of this vicinity have been disappointed in hearing a sermon delivered by our elder, and we think the motto “no work, no pay,” would work, well in this case the same as in j any other. It is true there is a lack of interest in our church, but where is there a single person wishing to drive through the sand and dust, and then when they get there, find the house not cared for, and above all not even a preacher to address the people. Last Sunday a number of boys searched Wm. Ramey’s buggy and finding a basket of dinner, took the liberty to help themselves. After they had squandered all its contents the basket was placed again in the buggy and the boys retired to the shade of some trees. When Mr. Ramey went to his buggy his dinner was nowhere to be found. His friends, however, took pity on him and gave him his dinner, \ which pacified him for a time. But look out, ye guilty parties, { for you will be watched hereaf- j ter and it may not be such a joke 1 in the future. Occasionally. From another Correspondent. Gillam would like to hearj from the correspondents in the j other townships. James Richmond goes about® singing “A charge to keep I have.” It is a girl. Kate Rodgers has gone ten Jamestown, Ind., where she ini tends to teach this year. Thos. Robinson has rente! his farm, but has not yet del cided where he will locate. John and Chas.
