KNOCKED!

TiiC Iroquoi* SMlcli ns Elat as si Flounder. After seveu days of hard struggle, the fate of the noted Iroquois ditch was finally settled by the Board of Commissioners of Jasper county. The case has been one of unusual interest to the people of this county and from the records of the proceedings in the auditor's office we find the following: “The board, after hearing further evidence upon the bene-

tits and damages, lind that the estimated cost of construction will exceed the benefits and the board orders that the proceedings aud petition be dismissed at the cost of the petitioners and direct the auditor to prepare an itemized statement of all the costs, which shall include the per diem of the viewers and engineer,, together with all the costs necessarily made, including the fees of the auditor.” Frank Foltz, attorney for the petitioners, tiled a motion to modify the judgment and decision of the board as to the costs and that the order of dismissal be vacated. The petitioner, are Granville Moody, Wallace Robinson, Warren Robinson, S, P. Thompson and J. A. Robinson, and they asked for an appeal to the Circuit court, and their bond was fixed at SSOO, J. H.

GILLAM.

In.the Gillam items in last week’s Republican, “Patrick” said, among other things, that Lewis Hubble, of Francesville, speaker at a Populist meeting held at Center school house, in Gillam township, Saturday evening, May sth, eulogized Coxey’s movement and said that it was another John Brown march, and that Republicanism was forever dead, exonerated the Democratic party from all of its misdeeds and attributed the hard times to

the Republican party and Harrison's administration. Patrick said some of these statements were proven false by Republican boys present. The facts in the case are that some toughs from Medaryville and Cillam, who had more bad whiskey than sense came to the meetin'g for the purpose of breaking it up. Hubble only said that Coxey and his men had as good a right to go to Washington as anybody else so long as they behaved themselves; that the two old parties were so much alike that it was almost impossible to tell one from the other. The Republican boys made no argument, whatever, but only caused a disturbance by their drunken threats. They were too drunk to prove anything. Such conduct is disgraceful and will not be tolerated by our law-abiding citizens. If any more disturbance occurs the perpetrators will be prosecuted. Bridget.

An interesting aud valuable .elic of Revolutionary days has been unearthed at Lancaster, Pa. It is in the field and camp book of General Sullivan, of the Continental army, and in it is recorded the history of the famous march in 177 U from New York and Wyoming and up the Susquehanna valley to punish the Tories aud Indians for the Forty Fort massacree. It will probably be deposited with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. 11. W. Porter the assessor of Marion township says he will finis* up iiis work of assessing this week, J

This will be the last week of the revival meetings at the M. E. church. Considerable interest has been aroused by telling discourses delivered to the people by the Quaker evangelists, Nathan and Esther Frame. The latter is a most, forcible speaker and undoubtedly leaves a lasting impression on the ear of her hearers.

On next Sunday the Rev. Dr. Borroughs, of Wabash college, will deliver the baccalaurate sermon to the high school graduates at the Methodist church.. .The services will occur in the morning, and the other churches will not have services on account of this. He will preach at the Presbyterian church in the evening.

The Fannie Hill Burlescjue Co., that was billed to appear at the opera house, had their performance nipped in the bud, by Manager Eger not allowing them to play on account of the low class show which it is said to give. The company is one of Duncan Clark's, and is, no doubt, the one that opened here last fall.

The two college bands w T ill be here to furnish music for the play next Wednesday. They have been making rapid strides toward perfection under the masterly hand of Prof. Hammersbach, who is a most competant instructor. • Some of our farmers have corn up that is now large enough to plow. Last week was well utilized by industrious agriculturists in finishing up their planting. If this is a good year will ha. j abundant crops.

The Winamac Democrat Journal says: When our friend McEwen of the Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel looks around over the Tenth district and sees the principal federal offices filled with anti-Clevelandites, why should he continue his high sounding praises of those who “turnedhim down?”

At the last meeting of the Rebecca Lodge. Mrs. A. Leopold was initiated into the rites and mysteries of the order, after which, at her solicitation, tho members repaired to Goff’s where they were served with ice cream.

Mayor John Andre at the opera house next Wedensday evening, promises te be a rare treat for the amusement lover. It is a play of Revolutionary times and should certainly be interesting to every American. Some person or persons tried to effect an entrance to Mrs. Hoye’s residence on north Van Rensselaer street, last Sunday evening, but in some way they seemed to have been discouraged in their efforts.

Clias. Robinson and wife and Mesdames T. F. Clark and Grant Hopkins, attended a family reunion at the home of Edward Heath at Aydelotte, Benton county, last Sunday. The Ft. Wayne Times has been caught up by Uncle Sam for advertising the San Domingo Lottery Co. You can’t fool with the old gentleman on the lottery question. At the Republican nominating convention last Tuesday, M. L. Spitler, of Rensselaer was nominated on the fourth ballot for joint Representative.

The business with the American Express Company at this place has fallen off 30 per cent, from what it was last year. The Healy orchestra will furnish the music for the graduating exercises of the high school next Thursday evening. A. Stimson. of Stoutsberg, was here last Saturday, and made this office a call.

Mrs. Jesse Grubb.

Again it is our painful duty to announce the visit of death, the reaper whose work never ends. Its task is always just ahead and will not cease until the judgment day. It is no respecter of persons, but deals with all alike. Maude, the loving wife of Jesse Grubb, bid fai’ewell to earth and friends last Saturday morning, her death being caused by that undermining disease, consumption. She was but a young woman, with many long and happy years before her, when the cruel grasp of this awful slayer fastened his clutches upon so fair a specimen of womanhood. Even the roses and lilies must perish, yet how beautiful while they remain with us. The deceased was born Nov. 28, 1870, in Rensselaer, and was the daughter of Mrs. Letitia Benjamin. She was raised up among us and counted her friends by the score. In 1892 she was married to Jesse Grubb, and one child was the result of their union. The family had been living in Marion, Ind., for some time and only a few weeks before her death the deceased was brought to the home of her
