We take pleasure in announc ing the coming reunion of the 46th, 48th and 87th Ind. Regiments, which occurs in Rensselaer, on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 29 and 30. It is expected that there will not be less than 350 representatives of these regiments here at that time. Our citizens will be asked to care for a a large number of these old veterans, and there should be no hesitancy shown in giving ,them a royal welcome. We must show these loyal visitors that we know how to care for them. Freight men predict that the present scarcity of cars will prevail for months to come. They argue that the grain moving now is the last crop, and as 60 per cent, of the 1893 crop is still in the hands of farmers or in elevators, there is no room for storing grain; consequently, they must ship it, and when the new crop is out of the way the old must be moved, as holders are tired of retaining it for higher prices.

The Ferris wheel, which was exhibited at the World's Fair, will this week be removed from Chicago. The Lake Shore has leased the car from the Pennsylvania company which carried the big Krupp cannon to carry the wheel. The axle weighs seventy tons, and it will require several trains of flat cars to convey to its destination the matei’ial of which the great wheel was composed. The great bicycle relay from Washington to Denver was completed last Saturday night. The time consumed in carrying the message from the former to the latter city, a distance of 2.067 miles, was 6 days, 10 hours and 37 minutes, a gain of 37 hours and 23 minutes over the scheduled time. The message was from President Cleveland to Gov. Waite.

Mr. J. C. Boswell, one of the best known and most respected citizens ®f Brownwood, Texas, suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and tried many different remedies without benefit, until Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoee Remedy was used; that relieved him at once. For sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. Christy Vick left with us samj® pies of “Uncle Sam,” an illustrated paper after the style of “Judge” and “Puck,” and the “Chicago American,” a paper for Americans. He is agent for these papers and would be pleased to show you copies of the same,

Col. I. N. Walker, a well known G. A. R. man, of this state, is being urged to place his .name before the national encampment at Pittsburg as a candidate for national commander. A satisfied customer is a permanent one. That’s "why we recommend De Witt’s Little Early Risers. They cure Constipation, Indigestion and Biliousness. A. F. Long & Co. Five prisoners escaped from the Logansport jail last Satur day night, by sawing out a window. This is the fifth jail delivery within a year. We don't do much blowing through the papers, but we do expect our prices to talk very loud. Porter & Yeoman. Jackson and Corbett are now fighting a fierce battle on paper. They might call it a “scrap of paper.” Say, have you tried one of those stylish rigs at W. E. Overtons’ livery barn? C. E. Pickett, of Onargo, 111., visited with A. G. W. Farmer’s family this week. The Jasper circuit court will convene on the third Monday in October.
