RENSSELAER IND FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1894.

There is a pretty good story which is all true, of a young man who lives all in the delightful glories of bachelordom, in one of our brick blocks, who went out of his room into the hallway Monday morning in just his night clothes to get a load of wood. His room door blew shut and a tricky spring catch stew to place and the young man was shut out in the hallway until a passer-by went to a chum and hunted up a key. It took him the rest of the forenoon to reduce the “goose-flesh” on his body and get over his scare. Postmasters throughout the country, are in receipt of a communication from the first assistant postmaster general requesting all persons to use envelopes having their return card printed on the corner. Envelopes printed to order can be had at almost any newspaper office for about the same price people pay for these not so printed. Every one should follow the advice of the department and thus not only insure the safety of their own missive, but aid materially in the transaction of public business. The Supreme court decides that “in action to recover damages for the loss of property set to and burned by sparks from a passing railroad locomotive, negligence on the part of the railroad company must be affirmatively shown, even where it appears that the escaping sparks caused the loss.” According to this rule it is an extremely diffi cult matter to hold a railroad responsible for damage by fire. O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyler Co., W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. He was almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He says: “It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invaluable remedy for coughs and colds.” For sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.

Edward Dunbar, the author of that beautiful hymn, “There’s a Light in the Window for Thee, Brother.” died a few days ago in the jail at Coffeeville, Kan., where he had applied for lodging as a tramp. Dunbar was once a noted evangelist, but his career was cut short by a term in the Minnesota state prison for bigamy. A. McCoy & Co. are now prepared to make farm loans at 64 to 7 per cent, depending on the amount desired, with commissions as low as are quoted elsewhere. The usual privilege of partial paymehts allowed. They would be glad to hear from parties desiring loans. Will cheerfully answer all inquiries. 33-4 t A stranger called at Iliff’s livery barn last Tuesday, and hired a team for a drive to Mt. Ayr, but the latest reports have it that neither team nor driver have been heard of since. It is the general opinion that the team has been stolen. A reward has been offered. The social given by the Y. P. S. C. E., of the Christian church, last Friday evening at the residence of W. H. Coover, was a grand success. It was largely attended and all had a pleasant time. A soap bubble contest was one of the features of the evening and all enjoyed it. The gymnasium or athletic club, of which we have already spoken, have decided to organize under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. This is a step in the right direction. Both are good movements and should receive proper endorsement from all sources. See Sigler’s ad. in another column. It’s a good time to buy cheap furniture sure, and if you are needing anything of the kind you will never have a better opportunity to secure it at an awful low price. Nathan McGee has been allowed a pension, the back pay amounting to aboutsl,4oo. This is certainly a good award and we are pleased to hear of his success these hard times. Invitations have been received here by a number of our young people announcing a grand ball at Monticello, to-night. We will not look for profits, but customers, linen sale day, March 3rd. Chicago Bargain

A passenger conductor on the Pennsylvania road, last week, took up a ticket which was over twenty-one years old from the time of its sale to presentation. How it dropped out of sight so long a time the holder was unable to tell. Parties desiring farm loans will consult their own interests by calling on or writing to F. J. Sears & Co., at the Citizens’ State Bank, Rensselaer, Ind. Their terms cannot be beaten and the commissions charged are low. The Sunday Morning Press is a new coiner to our exchange table. It is ably edited bp Frank Gere, and its home is at Hammond. It is a newsy, pointed sheet and we hope the publisher may realize handsomely on the venture. A pleasant birthday party was given at the home of A. Leopold, on last Friday evening, in honor of his son, Moses. About twen-ty-five of his young friends were present and enjoyed themselves. Elegant refreshments were served. A mandolin, banjo and guitar club has been fully organized here, with fifteen members. We are unable to give the names, but we can say that it will be a success. They are now trying to obtain a competent instructor. We have appointed Simon Fendig as our authorized agent atWheatfleld, and any order for job printing, advertising or subscription will be attended to at the same price we furnish it at here. Give him your orders. In one of the public schools at South Bend, is a Polish student 33 years of age. His name is Joseph Chrysniski. He is in the primary room and so anxious to learn the English language that he began at the very bottom. Remember when in need of hai’d lumber for any purpose, sawed from white oak, burr oak, or hickory, do not fail to call on D. H. Yeoman & Son. They will fill your order on short notice. Work guaranteed, Farmers have gotten so used to being bulldozed by party bosses, robbed by railroads, skinned by shy locks of all sorts, and tramped on by everybody, that many of them rather like it. —Pittsburgh, Kansas,
