A Sickening Sight.

I Tuesday afternoon a lean I’oman with disheveled hair and pnned cheek, driving a team of fcre- footed, skinny grays hitched to a two seated rig, attracted lur attention. With one bare land, she held the lines and with Ke other, a baby in long dresses, ■everal times she passed up and Mown Main street, seemingly Kr.no other purpose than to see fed be seen. At last she disappeared and we thought noth■g more of her until about night* ■hen we saw her on the road feme in company with a creaKre, some might call a man. ■lst as we were in the act of feiving past her rickety rig, she Kse up, with a cudgel in her fend and a cigar in her mouth, fed struck the man over the fead. Then fighting and swear- ■ e began, the woman holding fee baby with one hand and ■funding the man with the ■her. Soon the team stopped, feth got out, and in true prize fehting style they began pelting ■ch other’s frames; the woman Biding the baby with one hand fed vigorously plying the stick with the other. Just at this wage of the fight some teams feove up and shut out our view, Kt,the last we saw of them, the Kht was still on* the cigar was ■ the woman’s mouth, one hand Kid the “kid,” the other the fedgel, and from the applause, Be think the gathering crowd Bas betting two to one on the feman. KB ’ 9 • ■ ■ ■' ■Father Cotton is again seen on ■b streets.

The Indiana State Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union is here-by called to meet in annual session at the English -Hotel, Indianapolis, at IQ a. q>., on Wednesday, Dec. 26, 1894, The session will probably last two days. It is especially desired that every county noW organized be present with regular delegates, and all couples that have ever held a charter are requested to send delegates. All past organizers are particularly requested to come and participate in our deliberations. The deors are thus thrown wide open to alt; because there is business coming up which is of vast importance to the order, that requires careful consideration, and will, if properly adjusted, add to the welfare of each member. The time of meeting is fixed in order to take advantage of the usual holiday rates and thus enable many to come with the least expense. D. H. Yeoman, Alice Potts, Pres. Secretary.

NORTON’S “MONTHLY SENTINEL.

A 25 Cent Paper One Year and “Ten Men of Money Island” for Only 10 Cents. The fact that The Monthly Sentinel has attained a sworn circulation of 70,000 subscribers, is an evidence of its popularity among reformers and Populists. It is edited by S. F. Norton, who has been a middle of-the-road reform editor for nearly twenty years. It is 4-column, 16 page—every page a broadside, and every number a gatling gun. It can be had one whole year (in clubs of ten) for 10 cents —and to each subscriber will be sent free a copy of that wonderful Primer of finance, Ten Men of Money Island. Send at once, for we understand the above offer lasts only till the number of subscribers Teaches 100,000. Address, S. F. Norton, 544 Ogden Ave., Chicago, 111. Andrew Ropp hands us the following figures showing the amount of different kinds of grain he has threshed this year: Wheat, 5,000 bushels; Oats 95,000 bushels; Timothy, 200 bushels; Hungarian, 780 bushels; Buckwheat, 400 bushels.

RENSSELAER. .IND. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 12. 1894.

State Alliance Call.

Attention.

We have 311 delinquent subscribers whose names we would like to place on our roll of honor next issue. Some of these are behind three years and none of them less than one year. No business can run this • way, and especially a newspaper at £1 a year. We ask that these tardy friends call and settle up before the close of the year. Fourfifths of these delinquents are just mere thoughtless neglect. Come now friends wake up and help us out a little.

Woman’s Sphere.

“You talk about a woman’s sphere As if it had a limit, There’s not a place in earth or heaven, There’s not a task to mankind given, There’s not a whisper, yes or no, There’s not a blessing or a woe. There’s not a life, or death, or birth That has a feather weight of worth, Without a woman in it.” —Unknown.

John R. Smyth and Elizabeth Bierly, Chas. W. Murray and Viola M. Sample, Louis A. Freel and Mollie F- Booher, Leslie Fisher and Lilly C. Harris, Edward B. Knickerbocker and Junietta N. Wineland, David«E. Brockus and Cylfan F, Burns, Ben Smith and Lida Slaughter,Samuel L. Luce and Lula A. Spencer have been granted marriage licenses. A jury in the circuit court of this county last week sentenced David Fredericks to the state prison three years for stealing five pounds of goose feathers from F. B. Fonts. This is the same Sentence that Calvin Armstrong got for embezzling *40,000 while his father was treasurer of Tipton county.— Lafayette Courier. The forty first annual meeting of the Indiana state teachers* association will be held in Plymouth Church Indianapolis Dec. 26, 27, 28, 1894. The ablest educators of the state will attend this meeting and much that is of interest to the profession will be said and done. Reduced rates to all teachers attending’ will be given. Charley Platt commenced Wednesday on the Main street sewer and from the progress he is making the job will soon be completed. This is a much needed impromement, for the surplus water that collects north of the railroad always kept that part of the road soft and miry in a wet time.

We hope the coming legislature will amend the road law in such a way as to prevent the plowing and grading of the road bed after the Ist day of September. Fall grading is money and time lost, and bad roads all winter. It is proposed to introduce a bill in the coming legislature limiting the number of saloons in the state to one for every 1,000 inhabitants. Some fellows there are we know, who would much prefer to have 1,000 saloons for one inhabitant. One hundred years ago a gentleman bowing to a lady, always scraped his feet on the ground, now he pulls of his hat and scratches his head. The former practice was not half so silly as the latter. The Nowels Milling Co. will pay highest market price for all kinds of grain and hay. Take your grain to them at the mill near depot.
