Music Lessons.

Prof. Joseph Beck, of Middletown, Ohio, will be here after March 27, 1894, and teach pupils on the mandolin, banjo, guitar, violincello, autoharp, and other instruments. He will locate here and would be pleased to have those cal! and see him who would like to take lessons on any of these instruments. He guarantees satisfaction or money refunded. He Jias been engaged to teach the Rensselaer Symphony Club, recently organized. He also handles all kinds of musical instruments and does all kinds of repairing. Here is your chance to secure a complete course of instructions on these beautiful instruments.

Rob Burdette bids us remember that the good things in the world are always cheapest. Spring water costs less than whiskey; a box of cigars will buy two or three Bibles; a state election costs more than a revival of religion; you can-sleep in church every Sabbath morning for nothing, but a nap in a pullman car costs you $2 every time. The circus takes 60 cents, the theater sl, but the missionary box is grateful for a penny; the horse race scoops in $2,000 the first day, while the church bazar lasts weeks, works twentyfive or thirty of the best women in America nearly to death, and comes out S4O in debt.

The entertainmant given last Friday evening under the auspices of the W. R. C. was a grand success in every particular. Maj. R. H.

It is rumored that the Demo cratic party in this county will purchase Uncle Jimmy’s paper and put a younger force at the helm and guide or misguide that party in this county. They say he is too slow for them.

RENSSELAER, IND., FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1894.

I stood on the bridge at midnight as drunk as a son-of-a-gun, two moons rose o’er the city, where there ought to have been but one. I could see their bright reflection in the water under me, and I experienced a feeling of wonder and great curiosity. If only one had been there, I would not have been in doubt, but what two moons were doing I could not well make out. The tide was slowly ebbing, I could hear the waters roll, as I stood in the wavering shadows to hide from the night patrol. How often, Oh! how often, in the days of auld lang syne, I have tried to cross at midnight, and got left every time. But to-night I was hot and restless, and my mind was full of care, and the walk that lay before me was more than I could bear. I had no latch key with me, and locked would be the door, and would have to sit in the doorway, as I oft have done before. I’d have to sit in the doorway in agony and fear, till a voice said from the window’, “Did the lodge hold late my dear?” So to-night I stood their dreaming, and watched the restless tide, till a cop came with a wagon and invited me to ride.

Congress will adjourn for St Patrick’s Day, but they could not find time to observe Washington’s birthday on Feb. 22. Such a thing as our government recognizing St. Patrick’s day as a legal holiday has never been heard of before, and it makes us feel ashamed for that august body to even entertain the thought of such a thing when they so carelessly neglected the birthday of the father of our country. They will be celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday next. More likely, it will be Jeff Davis’.

A severe rheumatic pain -in the shoulber had troubled Mr. J. H. Loper, a well known druggist of Des Moines, lowa, for over six months. At times the pain was so severe that he could not lift anything. With all he could do he could not get rid of it until he applied Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. -“I only made three applications of it,” he says, “And have since been free from all pain.” He now recommends it to persons similarly afflicted. It is for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.

Mrs. Lecklider will have a grand Easter opening of millinery goods, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March, 22, 23 and 24, 1894. The most complete line of spring goods will be shown, that has ever been brought to Rensselaer, and you should call and see them. Don’t forget the date. Virginia raises 5,000,000 bushels of peanuts aad $4,000,000 worth of fruits and vegetables. The iron product is 200,000 tons, and over $2,000,000 of gold has been sent to the United States mint. This state has the largest lead mines in the south, and the greatest manganese mines in the world.

The following was taken from the Redkey Times, which fully explains the situation: “Mon day morning an eight pound son, No. 2, was born to Leslie Clark, publisher of the Times, and wife. All parties concerned are doing finely.” Cal Porter and son, Charles, will open a grocery store in A. Leopold’s business room next door to Hemphill & Honan’s, about the first of April.

C. B. Harrold and wife visited relatives in Owen county the latter part of last week and first of this.

This fine spring weather we have been having is something remarkable for March. Hicks surely must have made a mistake. During the first fifteen days of this month, finer spring weather has never been heard of before. It is a great relief to the cold weather that we have been experiencing this winter, although it has not been as severe as several other winters.

The Kentland Democrat says that town will be illuminated by electric lights inside of two weeks. Wolcott has passed an ordinance to compel the muzzling of canines. A goad thing.

The Monticello Herald in summing up our post office situation, says: “Edwin P. Honan has been appointed postmaster at Rensselaer, and Bro. McEwen, the faithful servant of every Democratic administration since Jackson’s time, is left chewing the cud of disappointment. Poor Mac! He wasn’t recent enough to suit this administration.”

Two more divorce suits have been filed with the county clerk to come up before the next term of court. They are, Shrum, vs. Shrum, and Haste vs. Haste. Some interesting developments are promised in these cases. In another place in this paper there will be found an offer to those who want some good reform reading at a very low cost.
