HERE'S SOMETHING.

"We doubt if there is any business that feels the effects of the hard times more than the newspaper business. We do not like to say it, but we have outstanding subscriptions due us, amounting to more than SSOO, and we are compelled to ask your assistance. Call and see what your account is, so that it can be adjusted. We need the money. We have to pay spot cash for our paper and it takes money to meet the bills. If you think you are in arrears for your subscription, call and see if it is so. We will be pleased to see you. It is only a dollar here and there, but in the long run it amounts to a great deal.

Last Wednesday was military and flag raising day at St. Joseph’s College and arrangements had been made for elaborate outdoor exercises, but the rain spoiled most of it, and it was necessary to have the exercises conducted in the College building. The Seifert Light Guards, in full uniform, together with the other students, assembled in the Chapel to attend military mass which was conducted by Rev. B. Boebner, celebrant, assisted by Rev. John Guendling of Lafayett, as deacon, and Rev. Chas. Guendling, of Ft. Wayne, as sub-deacon. Father Dinnen, of Crawfordsville, acted as master of ceremonies. After mass, the company filed out to the front of the building, and after hoisting the old' stars and stripes, to top of the magnificent college building amid applause and cheers. The Light Guards fired a military salute in honor of the occasion. Assem-, bling in the college hall, the the audience listened to a master piece of oratory by Father Meissner, of Peru. Pleasant and impressive remarks were made by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Rademacher, of Ft. Wayne. An exhibition drill was given by the Light Guards but they could not do justice to the occasion, because of being hampered for room. They had prepared a fine drill for the occasson, and of course the boys were sorry, they could not give it. There were priests in attendance from Hammond, Ft. Wayne, Peru, Crawfordsville, Reynolds, Indian Creek, Delphi and Lafayette. Without any ceremony or eclat whatever, Will Mossier and family got away from this city Sunday noon without announcement, for Rensselaer, where they will reside. We have beencongralulating ourselves over the fact that Will was a permanent citizen, as he had built himself a handsome cottage last season. The cause cf his sudden departure was a very flattering offer from his father-in-law who is the dry goods merchant prince of Rensselaer, to take charge of his immense business interests. We are sorry to lose the family from among us, but congratulate the people of Rensselaer on getting back a business man that was so popular with them, congratulate Will on his brilliant prospects and add, that as a hustler he is deserving of all the good things that comes his way.—Thorntown Argus. John Healy has opened a shoe shop in Uncle Charley Rhoades’ harness shop, and is now prepared to do all kinds of custom work. His terms are cash to all. If you need repairing done in first class style, give him a call and he will give you satisfaction.

“Major John Andre” was rendered at the opera house, last Wednesday evening, by the Columbian Literary Society and Seifert Light Guards, of St. Joseph's College. It is useless for us to go into detail concerning the history of Major John Andre, for every school boy and girl knows it. As to those who presented the play, we will say that it was admirabln given and the audience was pleased. The costumes shown by the performers were true to Colonial times, and in the grand tableau at the close, they presented a most beautiful picture. The college band played several fine selections which were enjoyed by the audience. The two bands came over in the early part of the evening and made a parade and furnished some splendid music.

Persons who sympathize with the afflicted will rejoice with D. E. Carr, of 1235 Harrison St., Kansas City. He is an old sufferer from inflamatory rheumatism, but has not heretofore been troubled in this climate. Last winter he went up into Wisconsin, and in consequence has had another attack. “It came upon me again very acute and severe,” he said, “my joints swelled and became inflamed; sore to touch or almost to look at. Upon the urgent request of my mother-in-law I tried Chamberlain’s Pain Balm to reduce the swelling and ease the pain, and to my agreeable surprise, it did both. I have used three fifty-cent bottles and believe it to be the finest thing for rheumatism, pains and swellings extant.” For sale byF. B. Meyer, druggist. At last we have a base ball club.

The Populists of Newton county will meet at Brook on Satur eay, June 9th, 1894, for the purpose of nominating a complete county ticket.
