Easter.

Not often does such a day Da?ss over as was last Sunday. Bjsually Easter Sunday is the Bl£y for the first display of spring Bnillinery goods and new dresses, B>ut we think that most of the Bieople were entirely contented Bo leave these at home and wear Bheir heavy winter clothing. It Byas not an ideal Easter day by Bny means. One moment the Bun would shine forth as bright Bnd beautiful as if in mid-sum-Baer, but only for a very short ■ime, when we would be rernindBd, and that very forcibly, that Vinter was still with us, by an Blmost blinding snow storm. B’he wind during the entire day was cutting in the extreme. On Bunday night the cold was most Bevere and everything froze Hp in real winter style. The Breather previous has been unaccounted for. Not even the Bjdest inhabitant recalls such Beautiful weather as we have had Buring the past 23 days. EveryBring growing seemed to take on ■ new lease of life, only to be Bipped on the approach of Blaster and its storms. B Rev. Kent, the evangelist, is Bolding an interesting series of Beetings at the F. W. Baptist ■lurch. He is an attractive ■pier and is a hard worker in W 0 cause of right. We hope he ■by be successful and that the Hhurch be built up again, to ■hat it formerly was.

Easter is a time of universal rejoicing. A grand celebration took place in St. Augustine’s church on that glorious day to commemorate the Resurrection of Christ. Late service began at 10 a. m. Solemn high mass was chanted by Rev. Stanislaus Neiberg. He was ably assisted by Rev. Jno. Nageleisen as Deacon and Student Robert Mayer as Sub-Deacon, Student Dennis acted as Master of Ceremonies. Rev. Jno. Nageleisen

preached an eloquent and instructive sermon on the text: “He is Risen a?. He said ‘Alleluia.’ ” Decorations were graceful. The new altar with the six candelabra and a chalice, all recently donated, together with Easter Lilies, carnations and pot flowers presented a spectacle beautiful to look upon. The choir rendered excellent music. St. Joseph’s College Band was invited for this occasion. The band, under their eminent and able master, Prof. Carl Hammersbach played some of their choicest pieces. A solo played by Prof. Hammersbach on the cornet during offertory deserves especial mention. A selection by the band constituted the grand finale.

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.

B. F. Ferguson, the hustling real estate and loan agent, is prepared to make farm loans at as low rate of interest as anybody else, and can secure you a loan in much less time. Don’t fail to call and see him. He will write applications in Jasper, Newton, White and Pulaski counties. He solicits correspondence from persons desiring to make loans on their farms.

The Easter services at the Presbyterian church, both morn ing and evening, were very interesting. In the morning service Rev. Beech delivered a most interesting sermon on “Easter Echoes.” In the evening the J. S. C. E. rendered a very entertaining program to a large audience.

The small boy still holds full sway at all public entertainments. Their conduct at such places shows their home breeding. Boys can act in a gentlemanly manner as well as men. Their conduct at the opera house last Monday evening was dis gusting. -

Call and see before buying elsewhere. M. &A. Meyer.

The Populists of Barkley township last Saturday, nominated John Moore for trustee and James McCleary for assessor.

Gotlieb Schaller, living 5 miles southeast of Remington, committed suicide by hanging, sometime between Friday evening and Monday morniDg. On Friday he was in Remington doing some trading, and among other things purchased a kit of fish. He was a bacholor and lived alone. Meeting a neighbor he told him that he intended to commence sowing oats the following morning, He was not seen about his place Saturday and Sunday, and on Monday morning a neighbor called to investigate. He found Schaller hanging in a stall in the barn, and the condition of the corpse showed that the deed must have been performed forty-eight hours previously. The horses were almost famished, and had gnawed the stalls to appease their hunger. Schaller’s feet lay upon the floor, and he could easily have released himself at any time. An investigation of the house deepened the mystery. The two beds had been occupied, one of them by one person and the other by two. The fish kit had been opened and four pounds of fish taken out. As one man could not consume four pounds of fish at one meal, and the appearance of the beds indicating occupancy, it is presumed that Schaller had company Friday night, and a suspicion of foul play had been aroused. There is no known reason for Schaller committing suicide, as he had never given any evidence of having any trouble or being discontented with his lot. The case evidently is one that will bear investigation.—Goodland Herald.

Gus. Andrews, the shoe-mak er, who for the past six months has had his bench in J. C. Carmichael’s harness shop, has departed for greener fields and newer pastures. For some time Andrews and his wife have not been living together as peacefully as man and wife should. On last Wednesday night their trouble reached the climax and

he slugged her a few a la Corbett. One of her eyes is now in mourning. After this trouble Andrews, together with his daughter, Lizzie, departed, none knows where. It is thought by some that he has gone to his former home in Ohio, to where his father lives. Andrews has quite a history, and was living with his fourth wife. - His father is a prominent Shaker preacher and is reported to be in fair circumstances financially. The wife still remains here with her two small children, and they have not much expectency of the return of the husband and father.

May Vokes and her highly commendable comedy troupe played a three night’s engagement at Eger’s opera house the first of the week. The opening play was the laughable “Arabian Nights.” In it there is a mint of pure fun as so earnestly interpreted by Miss Vokes and her associates. Her company is the best that has appeared here for some time, and deserved a great deal better patronage than they received. We congratulate Manager Eger upon being able to secure such a high grade attraction as the comedienne, May Vokes.

A stock train of seventeen cars was on Friday last hauled from Louisville to Chicago over the Monon in eleven hours and thirty minutes, a delay of eighteen minutes at Bloomington and of seventeen at Lafayette to change engines to be deducted. This was the fastest run ever made over the road with a stock or freight train.

Sherman E. Stevenson, who skipped from this place last September after forging notes to the amount of about $1,400, was arrested in Boone count; last Friday by J. M. Conway, of Fowler, and brought to this place Saturday in irons. It appears the county commissioners had offered a reward of SIOO for the arrest and conviction of Stevenson, and that in addition to this Robt. Parker had offered $25, making $125 altogether. Conway had found out in some way that Stevenson was in Sheridan, Ind., and last Thursday was sworn in as special constable and, armed with a warrant, started after his man, returning Saturday as above stated. Stevenson was taken before Esq. Chappell where he waived examination and the court placed the bonds ai SI,OOO. Failing to give bonds he was taken ai once to Rensselaer and lodged in jail. Much sympathy is felt for the man’s wife and family. Ho is only about 28 years of age has been married but a few years. Previous to these forgeries Sherman had been well thought of and was considered, generally, as an honest, upright man.—Remington Press. On last Tuesday morning a telegram was sent here from Martinton, 111., stating the death of Tom Geer, the well known veterinary surgeon. Tho telegram did not state the cause of his death, but rumor has it that it was occasioned by a kick from a vicious horse. It is said that this is the second person killed by the beast. Another report has it that his death was due to heart disease. We regret to learn of this sad event and certainly Mrs. Geer, who is a most estimable lady, has the sympathy of the people of Rensselaer. As we go to press there are no new developments in the case.

Those who believe that thirteen is an unlucky number should fight shy of the American twenty-five-cent pieces. It has thirteen stars,thirteen letters in the scroll held in the eagle’s back, thirteen marginal feathers on each wing, thirteen tail feathers, thirteen parallel lines in the shield, thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen arrow-heads and thirteen letters in the “quarter dollar.” But most of us are mighty glad to get them, thirteen or no thirteen. And then it must be remembered that the great American nation started with thirteen States.

We notice in the Goodland Herald an item regarding the substantial improvements. That town has two miles of streets covered with Kickapoo cement gravel and also another mile and a half of home gravel, making in all three and one half miles of good solid streets. Can our town say that much?

J. A. . “Por, the young man who c. me here from Chicago some ■ ago and opened a barber shop in tho Warner building, next to Alter’s confectionary store, has skipped the town. Shortly after coming here, Lee Catt, a well known young man here, was taken into partnership by Miller, and they put in a complete bath outfit for two rooms. Business did not ‘•pan out” as they expected, and they concluded to quit, and both quietly “flew their kites” for fresher scenes. At present their whereabouts are unknown.

The post office department has issued an order that hereafter mail will not be taken on the mail cars unless it first passes through the postoffice. The order was made necessary because so many business men in the neighborhood of railway depots in all localities mailed their letters on tho trafn to save them the trouble of going to the postoffice, and it made a large amount of extra work for the railway mail clerks. Time was taken up stamping letters that was needed in sorting out mail between stations.

Wo mentioned last week that the choir of the Christian church would give a concert in the near future. They have now united with the choir of the M. E. church and will give an “old folks’” concert. The costumes used will be similar to those of our forefathers of a hundred years ago. Old time songs, both sacred and worldly, will be sung, and we doubt if a more interesting entertainment than this could have been arranged. We predict that it will be well patronized by lovers of music.

George Gray was at Rensselaer Tuesday and appeared for the county in the suit of Hamer Lewis vs. Fewell et al. The court sustained demurrer and the comity is relieved from being a party to the suit.

Nearly all the money for the road has been drawn from this county while there is a handsome balance of $3,000 in the T i ppecanoe treasu iy . —Fowler Leader.

A. W. Conner, of Irvington Ind., will lecture at the opera house on Tuesday evening, April 10, on “The Serio-Comic Side of the Preacher’s Life, or Sunshine and Shadows Seen from the Sanctuary.” The lecture will be under the auspices of the Christian church, and Mr. Connor should be greeted with a full house. The Fowler Era says of him: “A. W. Conner is a gifted speaker.”

Stone traffic with the Monon from the Bedford quarries will now begin to improve. Orders for 1,500 carloads of stone, early delivery at Chicago, have been put under contract, and there is already booked for the season enough stone to load 3,500 for the north. 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. This is the best offer we have ever made and you should avail yourself of this opportunity. We are compelled to withhold our report of the circuit court doings this week, on account of the convention held Love last Wednesday. Say, farmers, G. M. Wilcox, at Surrey, is selling galvanized two point hog wire at $2 per 100 pounds. Smoke the Mendoza cigar.

A contemporary says that newspaper subscriptions are infallible tests of man.s honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If he is dishonest he will cheat the printer some way —say he has paid what he has not—declare that he has a receipt somewhere—or sent money and it was lost in the mail—or will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he did not subscribe for it—or move off leaving it to come to the oiiieo he loft. Thousands of professed Christians are dishonest in this particular at least, and the printer's books will tell fearful tales in tills final judgment. Hare's morality for you. A man teamed Van Arsdel has been granted a liquor license in White county, and ho will open a saloon at Motion, lie murdered a woman at Motion about three years ago, but was recently released from the penitentiary. The commissioners of White county surely don’t understand that they have violated the law by granting a license to such a man.

A new game for evening par ties is as follows: All the young Indies bring photographs of themselves, taken when they were babies or at least when they were young. Those are arranged in a row, and the young man who can identify the greatest number receives a prize.

Young peach trees should be dug around often, and wood ashes should be thrown around often also, as there is a kind of worm that works at the root, and this will keep them away. White washing is good for them, too; it troops the insects from working under the bark.
