In the crop report of the state of Indiana, as sent out by the Department of Agriculture, it says that the corn crop of Jasper county was never known to be better, and also shows that the average is far ahead of any other county in the state. What’s the matter with Jasper.

Opening a watcfti case with a knife or fingernail is netadVtss in out day. The Keystone Watch Case Od'ffipa'ny, of Philadelphia, Pa., furnishes free a handsome watch case opener which makes, besides, a pretty charm for th(? watcß chain. If you can’t get one from yovn* jeweler, send to Philadelphia. This Company is the largest of its kind iff the world, and makes all kinds of cases. Its specialty is the Boss tilled case. Jas. Boss invented and made the first filled case in 1859, afi’d many of the cases then made and wo ntri since are still intact. Later the Boss patents passed into 1 the hands of the Keystone Company, which has the sole fight to 1 make these cases. It has also the sole right to use on its cases the patent Non-pull-out bow or ring, which prevents loss of the watch by theft or injury to it by accident. The Keystone Company does not retail, but all jewelers sell the Boss and other Keystone cases.

A boy in the Witchita school has been suspended for reading the following essay on pants: “Pants are made for men, and not men for pants. Pants are like molasses—they are thinner during hot weather and thicker in winter. The man in the moon changes his pants during the eclipse. Don’t go in the pantry for pants, you might be mistaken. There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to us when men wear pants they are plural and when they don’t -wear pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in pants, and it is all right; but when the pants go on a tear it is all wrong.”

Don’t fail to see “Robinson Crusoe,” at the opera house tonight.

Obituary.

John Piter was born re; r Newbury, >h Y., Jan. 11, 1811, and dkii at the home of his son, |in Rensselaer, Ind., July 20, 1894, aged 83 years, G mouths, and 6 days. He was in early ehildho; d when the family moved from b s native place to the vicinity of Trenton, New Jersey. There he lost his father. Thence, at the age of fifteen, he conducted his widowed mother, with her family, across the mountains, tp Ohio, halting first at Cincinnati, but pressing on after a year or two, into the White River country, Indiana. Ho was twice married. His first wife was Rebecca Gillespie, of Owen county, Ind., to whom?; he was married in 1833, She was born of Methodist parents aear Lexington, Ky., her anees- . try hailing from the Janies River region, Va. Her father was a minister of some note ia the local ranks. She died in Montgomery county, Indiana, in 1847. He married his second wife, j Mariam Bailey, of Hamilton; county, Ohio, in 1849. One child, a son. Was born to him of his first wife. His second nmV : riago was without issue. Hi.. I last Wife died at Thorntown. ! Ind., Dec. 13, 1892, after which ! he made his home with his son. Rev. R. D. Utter, of tho NorthWest J.udiana Conference.

Not lofig »,fter the date of his first marriage hr was and received into the fellowship ff t’jMethodist Episeop • vuuroii. On declaring himseii a follower of Christ lie erected the family alter, and ever after, morning and evening, as regularly a» the day came round, the voice of prayer and praise was heard in his home. A more honest, upright man never lived. He was thoroughly conscientious, acting from principle rather than impulse, never swerving from the right as God gave him to see the right. The end has come at last. Having finished his course, he has gone to receive his reward, a crown of life. The funeral services were conducted by the. Rev. Mr. Bmch, of the Presbyterian Church at 9:30 a rff.,-July 21, after which, by the 10:50' rn. train, the body was taken to Thorn town, Ind., for interment.

The programme now 7 in preparation is being arrayed with the special purpose to please the pioneer. All old settlers should make an extra effort to attend. Catalogues may be had by making application to W. T. Drake, Secretary, Plentland, Indiana.

What is Beauty? "Question of a Blind Man!"

Replied Aristctle. But Mrs. Sherwood says that it is “dynamite” in hor article which opens the interesting pages of the July Cosmopolitan. Beauty is always a fascinating subject, and Mis. Sherwood’s 1 discussion is an especially interesting one. That the July Cosmopolitan is a midsummer number is shown in many directions. Three short stories, including one of sport and adventure, two travel articles, and other light matter, make up 128 pages of charming summer reading.

The July Cosmopolitan marks the close of the first year since the revolutionary announcement was made that the price of that magazine, already low, had been out to one-half of three dollars a year. All sorts of predictions have come to be unfulfilled during the year—it would be impossible to maintain the rate—the quality would be lowered—the size would be decreased. But even severe critics admit that with each succeeding number there has been a betterment in the quality of articles and illustrations, and the size has remained unchanged, except the always growing advertising pages. The magazine printed, for the six months embraced in Volume XVI, one million four hundred and nineteen thousand copies, an entirely unapproached record, and has doubled its already large plant of presses and binding machinery. Tho walls of the magazine’s new homo are rapidly rising at Irvington-on-the-Hnelson. Artistically designed by McKim, Mead & White, the .new building, with its eight great porticoes, will bo 27!) feet long by 7(3 feet wide, and one of the most perfectly lighted buildings in the •irprld, having 160 large windows, each nearly double tho size of the ordinary window opening.

Social.

Ice-cream! Ice-cream! Como one! Come all! Come great and small*} At Bowling Green school house, Aug. 4th, for the benefit of the sunday-sehool. A newly-elected justice of the peace in Kentucky thus charged the jury in the first case: “If you believe what the counsel for the plaintiff has told you, your verdict will be for the plaintiff, but, if, on the other hand, you believe what the defendant’s counsel has told you, you will return a verdict for the defendant. But if you are like me and don’t believe what either of them said, I don’t know what you will do.” The jury disagreed.

It is called a body blow for woman’s sufferage because the new ballot law in Kansas provides that “the lower limbs of the voter, as high up as the I knees, shall be visible from the j outside while the voter is in the j booth preparing his ticket, the | lower part of the booth havirg been left open for that purpose.”

We see the name of our fellow townsman Captain M. F. Chilcote, among the list of possible candidates for the republican nomination for congress in this district. M. F. Chilcote is a deserving republican and his nomination would be satisfactory to a great many republicans in this neck of the woods.

The republicans of this congressional district will hold a convention, at Logansport, Aug. 20, to nominate a candidate to take the place of Charles B. Landis, resigned. Thomas Sayers has been appointed post master at Kniman,
