Alliance —Official.

To County Secretaries—Fend notice of your next county meeting at once, so that the brethren may have ample time to prepare for it. Under this head the dates of county Alliances will be published, and all county Secretaries are earnestly requested to send in the date and place the county Alliance will be held, and do not delay but send as soon as you see this. The following counties are specially requested to call their quarterly meetings at the following dates: Steuben county, April 2. DeKalb county, April 3. Howard county, April 4. Tipton county, April 5. Hamilton county, April 6. Hendricks county, April 7, 10 a. m.

Boone county, April 9. 10 a. m. Clay county, April 10. If these county secretaries will promptly call the quarterly Alliances as above, the state organizer will arrange to be present and the county Alliances wiil be expected to provide for his expences. The secretary of the local Alliance in Boone county, at Pike’s Crossing, W. 11. Roby, set an example in last week’s Non Con. that others might follow with profit. It is a matter of general interest to all Alliances to know that others are active, and the encouraging report of Secretary Roby was welcomed by a thousand homes in the state. Clay county is getting in shape again and Greene is preparing to come once more into the number of active workers. DeKalb county has secured the commissioning of Bro. John D. Smith as county orgaizer. It is hoped that in every county the Alliances will meet and pay up the dues begining January 1, and report the same promptly, Under the new constitution as revised at Topeka in February, the password is sent out only on receipt of the dues July Ist and January Ist. The national duos are now ten cents per year or live cents semi-annually. The county secretaries must have their reports filed with Lite state secretary promptly after the April meeting, and the state secretary before July 1 in order to have the new password for use when the July reports are made.

The organizer has completed plans fox- co-operative fire and storm insurance within the order and will present these for the consideration of the members at the April meetings. The plan selected is modeled aftei- that used with such surprisingly satisfactory results by the Patrons of Husbandry in New York, Pennsylvania and Kansas, and by the Alliance of South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, and which has just been introduced by the Alliance of Kentucky. It is hoped that all who have ever been connected with the order will attend these meetings and see the advantage to be gained by a thorough reorganization. Do not wait to hear from some one else but come yourself and bring your neighbor. The annual meeting of the National Alliance Aid (or aid degree) was held at Topeka, Feb. 8,9, 10. The new members of the Board of Directors are W. F. Wright, Bethany, Neb., C. Vincent, 374 W. Market street, Indianapolis, Ind., andN. L. Upson. Orchard Park, N. Y. D. H. Yeoman, C. Vincent, Pres.

CARPENTER TOWNSHIP.

BY DON’T TELL.

Henry Marsh had a horse taken from his barn, week before last by his hired hand. Mr. Marsh started in search of the lad and after a few’ days of anxiety and a good deal of expense, he was found in Rensselaer trying to dispose of the horse for a small sum. But, Mr. Marsh, thinking that he had the oldest claim on the horse brought him home w'ith him. Mr. Wagner had traded his store in Sheldon for a part of the farm that he traded for the store and will move back on the farm as soon as he can get possession. Probably not this spring as the farm is already rented for one year or more.

As near as W’e can recollect this is the finest March weather we ever saw. If there is any one in Jasper county, that has ever seen finer just arise and speak right out in meetin’. A good many farmers are sowing oats at a lively rate. Ground is in better condition now foi’ seeding than it was at any time last season.

Eggs have dropped down in price to 10 cents per dozen. Wonder what has become of the McKinly tariff? Chas. Ulm is improving his time by plowing, sowing oats and shooting brants. Sylvester Gray is malting preparations to do a good deal of tiling this spring. George Nicholson’s smiling countenance was seen in this vicinity last week. Albert Gray’s property sold well at his sale the 15th inst. except the horses.

Geo. Jones, of Newton Co., was visiting in Carpenter last week. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy gives the best satisfaction of any cough medicine I handle, and as a seller leads all other preparations in this market. 1 recommend it because it is the best medicine I ever handled for coughs, coldsand croup. A. W. Baldribge, Millersville, 111. For sale by F. B. Meyer Druggist.

LEE.

BY GUESS.

Scarcity of money does not interfere with making change in this community. It is said that a gentleman near this place recently purchased a horse and in exchange paid one yearling colt, one two-year-old heifer, 1 yearling steer, one hog and three young chickens. The Sunday-school at the Lee school house has been having a very small attendance for a few Sundays, but efforts are being made to organize a class for singing as an attraction. Everybody is invited to attend and and assist the young folks in their efforts.

Game is becoming plentiful, but the hunters do not deem it worth their while to kill any on account of the prices. S. L. Johnson, formerly a section hand on section 69, has received an appointment as section foreman at Lowell.

Sebe Pride and James Kenton, of Rensselaer, and Scott Robinson, of Zard, were in our midst last Sunday.

Otis Jacks has moved into the the property which he recently purchased in the northeast part of town.

Several of our citizens -were called to Rensselaer last Monday on the Denton and Culp ditch business. Rev. Reeder could not fill his appointment at this place last Sunday on account of sickness. John Leach, of Francesville, visited his daughter, Mrs. L. E. Noland, the first of the week. Several of the g. o. p.’s went to Monon last Saturday to attend the primary convention. A. B. Lewis will start a meat market here in the near future.

The school house will undergo some repairs soon. Work will begin this week. A. R. Rishling was visiting relatives in Hammond last Sunday.

A. B. Lewis and Sam Jacks went to DeMotte last Saturday. Al Robinson, of Monon, was in town last Monday on business. Lou Shigley went to Rensselaer last Monday on business. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hoover last Friday, a boy. 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

Iroquois Ditch.

Mk. EDiTOF.:--The Republican, which repi-esents my party, exerted its power to defeat the gravel road after it had received the advertising, and is now playing the the same game as to the Iroquois Ditch. I wasted enough time to read its statement of the woes to come, in its last two issues, touching the health, pleasure and beauty of the lovely town on the river and the lovely river in the town, because we want to drain our land. The editor may not see himself as others see him when he stands up for the ice fields, the “swimmin’ ” holes and the fish ponds, and bewails their loss to the town dudes. Why does he do so? I prefer to raise good crops on all my lands and have fat dry-land birds and beasts. The claims for the sake of the town that the rock must be carved on the exact line of beauty, with a very gentle slope, or we are warned to keep hands off. The idea of leaving any ragged edge or a rough place anywhere within the sacred limits of the town is horrible to his soul. .

The total cost of this work in the rough is twenty-eight thousand dollars and eighty cents, his share is two dollars and eighty cents, he being one among ten thousand. For his sake and the sake of those of like taste, the corners of the channel must be filed down to a slope of thirty degrees or less or the army of anglers, ice men, hunters and swimmers will have the whole thing stopped. The finny tribes, musk rats and minks must abide in our rich farming lands in order that these lilies of the town may march and counter march over our fields with rod and gun on -boulder and dog at heels in search of fish, fur or

fowl. We have had too much of the musk rat, the dog fish and the turtle, and do not feel like sparing even the ice pond so dear to his heart if we can help it. He, no doubt, opposed taking away the mill race, because the pleasure boats and rat boats could no longer glide along its humid channel and the sewers no longer have their outlet under its stagnant water. The mill dam and mill race have vanished, however, and the human race of town and country are living longer and feeling better even if they have lost some sand —quick sand. We need deeper drainage to tile our farms. The town needs it for its basements, cellars and sewers.

When it is proposed to carry this drainage of the town still lower and slay all the typhoid germs, he cries aloud: “For the sake of the town dudes, spare the homes of the bull head, the mud turtle and the snake.” His theory is, that the deeper we go in water-bearing rock the dryer the channel will become. This is absurd. Why not carry the sewerage into the deeper channel where the winds cannot reach and carry the stink back into your house to spread disease and death in your family. This new channel will become a living, running, perrenial stream sufficient to bear away all the filth of the whole of your very nice town. The country people will have to pay nearly all the costs of this channel and don’t want to waste much time on these two dollar and eighty cent chaps. We want this valley to bear rich harvests without any regard for the lazy habits of the drummers en store boxes, the delvers for fish worms, or the army of the dog and shot gun. We want a prevalence of better lands, better roads, better health and better sense. The shape of the channel can be improved in width and slope by the beauty loving town dads using the extra material to make the streets passable. What us farmers want, is depth and capacity to bear away the water from the bog lands. The location, depth and shape of the channel must follow the report of the viewers. We cannot suit the taste of everyone. This project will be difficult to carry through at best. I would like to see my town friends keep us out of the muck and mud in this as they did in our move for good roads. “St. Patrick’s day in the morning.” Progressive Farmer.

At Rest.

Little River (Kans.) Monitor. Mary L. Lamson, daughter- of Eleazer and Amanda Lamson, was born May 20, 1854, in Jasper county, Indiana, and departed this life March 5, 1894. She was married to Alfred J. Snodgrass April 18, 1872. Nine children were born of this union, six of whom preceded her to the other world, the last one just a few days ago, and for whom she gave her life. Mrs. Snodgrass was a kind, gentle Christian woman and beloved by all, as the large procession which followed her remains to the cemetery would indicate. She was a kind mother and effectionate wife a good neighbor and to know her was but to love her. A few years ago she was converted and joined the M. E. church of which she lived and died a devoted member. Her death was a victory. She testified just before leaving that she was happy in her savior’s love. She leaves a husband, three children, a large numbex- of relatives and a multitude of friends to mourn her departure. The funeral was conducted from the M. E. church in this city Tuesday morning by Rev. Dadisman. The funeral was taken in charge by the Pythian Sisters, of which she was an active member, and. a large number of the brothers and sisters of the Pythian orders of the city took part n rendering to their beloved isister the sad but beautiful burial rites of the order. May she rest in peace.

A Good Show.

The Michigan City Evening Dispatch, of Feb. 2, says: The May Vokes theatrical company began a three-nights’ engagement at the armory last evening at popular prices. The piece presented was a travesty on the “Arabian Nights.” and afforded ample opportunity for the company to display its diversified talents. The drama, or rather comedy, was a hodgepodge affair, with a comical situation at every turn and a laugh every minute. The company is remarkably evenly balanced and is by far the best ever seen here playing at popular prices. Miss May Vokes is by all bdds the star of the company. She is a clever little comedienne, whose clever acting and dancing called forth pronounced applause. She apparently has a bright futme. The balance of the company is very good indeed. A large audience was presen ; at the initial performance ana the indications are that another big house will greet the company to-night, when a triple bill consisting of roaring farces, entitled “Lady Fortune,” “Box of Monkeys” and “The Marble Arch” will be given.

Collegeville.

The most interesting and hotly contested game of ball ever played on the college grounds was that played between the “College Stars” of St. Joseph’s College, and the “Young Americans” of the Indian school. The score was as follows: Innings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 College Stars.. 4 300 0 0 3—lo Americans 3 0 0 3 0 0 0— 6 The feature of game was the excellent work done by the College Star’s battery. Captain Pfeifer, pitcher of the Stars, struck out eleven men. He was able supported by Catcher Besinger. Other notable plays were, the long run fly catch of Lannen, and also the fly catches of Short-stop Mungovan and Third Baseman Sultzer. Catcher Besinger, won applause for his heavy batting. He made the only home run of the game.

Center Fielder Dividson of the Young Americans deserves credit for his excellent one hand running fly catch.

Circuit Court.

The Jasper county circuit court again convened last Monday, but owing to the county convention, the court adjourned for the day. Judge Wiley arrived on Monday morning, and is looking somewhat better afteihis sojourn among the blue grass hills of Kentucky. On account of rendering a decision in a case at Logansport, Judge Wiley went to that place Tuesday and returned Wednesday. R. W. Marshall acted as special judge and some minor cases were attended to. Sarah E. Haste was granted a divorce from Jacob Haste.

Brown Giant.

Burns are absolutely painless when De Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve is promptly applied. This statement is true. A perfect remedy for skin diseases, chapped hands and lips, and never fails to cure piles, A. F. Long & Co., Druggists.

No better aid to digestion. No better cure for dyspepsia. Nothing more reliable for billiousness and constipation than DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, the famous little pills. A. F. Long & Co., Druggists. The National Alliance Aid, or Aid Degree, is growing rapidly and deserves the success it is having. Prof. C. Vincent is now one of the directors of the Aid Degree, and one of his organizers in, last, week applications for seventeen members at Melber, Ky. He says he can employ 100 more energetic organizers.

Jas. Welsh, editor of the Chicago Graduate, and Ferd. B. White, both of Chicago, held a temperance meeting in the court house last Tuesday evening. These gentlemen are interested in the Keeley cure and were greeted with a fair audience.

It’s just as easy to try One Minute Cough Cure as any thing else. It’s easier to cure a severe cold or cough with it. Let your next purchase for a cough be One Minute Cough Cure. Be ter medicine; better result; better try it. A. F. Long &[Co., Druggists. “The Poisonous Snakes of India’—and there are more of them and of a more virulent type in India than in any other country—will be the subject of an abundantly illustrated article in McClure’s Magazine for April. The delegates to the People’s party convention next Wednesday, by direction of the county chairman, are asked to report as early in the forenoon as convenient, as there will be business of importance to attend to.

Mrs. James A. Kays, living four miles north-east of Rensselaer, in Barkley township, has some farming implements for sale. Any one needing anything in this line can get a bargain by calling on her. A petition is being circulated to have Editor McEwen, of the Sentinel, appointed to a government position, since he was defeated in the post office race. A good thing, as Uncle Jimmy deserves it.

Sam Yeoman, everybody knows Sam, has a nice stock of farming implements and our farmer friends would do well to call on him. He has his place of business at Nowel’s Mill near the depot. J. C. Thrawls has a new card in this issue. If you are needing surveying or civil engineering, you cannot do better than to give him a call. See his card elsewhere. It not only relieves; it does more, it cures. We refer to One Minute Cough Cure. Suitable for all ages, all conditions, at all times. A. F. Long & Co., Druggists. Rev. Kent, of New Jersey, is now assisting in the revival meetings at the F. W. Baptist church, which have been in progress during the past few days.

As the warm weather approaches it would be well to look after the sanitary affairs of the town. In other words, give the town a good cleaning up. The frame work of Mr] French’s new residence on Cuilun street is looming up and will add greatly to the appearance of that part of town.
