Opening a watch with a knife or finger-nail is needless in our day. The Keystone Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., furnishes free a handsome watch case opener which makes, besides, a pretty charm for the watch chain. If you can’t get one from your jeweler, send to Philadelphia. This Company is the largest of its kind in the world, and makes all kinds oi cases. Its specialty is the Boss filled case. Jas. Boss invented and made the first tilled case in 1839, and many of the cases then

made and worn since are still intact. Later the Boss patents passed inta the hands of the Keystone Company, which has the sole right to 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 c ses.

Some drunken fellows opened a window and entered Lakey & Sayler’s bake shop, Monday morning some time between 12 and 8 a'clock. They kindled a fire and burnt all the wood that had been prepared for the next days’ baking, ate about a dozen eggs and left two half-pint whiskey bottles and part of a pack of cards on the table. Not satisfied with this they upset the salt and baking powder boxes, and left the window open when they went away. Joe Lakey had set his sponge the night before and the cold air delayed the process of raising, so that he was about 6 hours behind with his baking. Such conduct as this should be severely reprimanded. The Indiana School Journal of this month has an essay ihai is deep and thorough in its subject matter and presupposesvery careful thought by the writer, and we are proud to set that the* writer is a Jasper county girl, Miss Kate Rodgers. A more elaborate essay -by the same person came to us in Harpers Monthly of New* York. The subject is “Review of the English Language.’’ It is a full and complete discussion aud compares it with other languages Both essays will do much good for the earnest student of literature.

Hartley Bros., general grain dealers whose main offices are at Goodland aud Remington, bui who own and control a number of elavators throughout the country, are erecting office scales, cribs etc. at the corner of Vine and Dayton slreets west of the depot, and will probably be prepared the last of this week to receive grain at prices paid by them at Remington’ Goodland, Mt.

A raffle craze seems to have struck Rensselaer, almost every man you meet will ask you to take a draw on a horse, cow oi some other article for whicl there is a poor sale. Their method is to put the numbers into envelopes and seal them. You draw a number and charge as many cents for the draw as the number calls for. When the numbers are all sold the lucky number is decided by means of dice.

She cometh forth in the evening in low neck and short sleeves, but in the morning she lieth in bed while her mother hustleth.—Oxford Tribune. The Rensselaer cornet band met in their new practice room in the Nowels block, and adopted a constitution and by-laws and completed a thorough organization. H. V. Weaver was appotnted musical director, and displayed considerable skill in the management of the boys. The band will have about 12 pieces for next year’s work.

A drive through the country shows us that*about one-half of the corn crop is in and the cribs are all full, the primitive rail pen is again in demand. Farmers of Jasper county can just make up their minds to prepare for larger cribs for all this ditching and tiling the past two years is bound to show its effect upen their granaries.
