Miss Jessie Adams has returned to her home in Monon. D. H, Yeoman and daughter, Hattie, are attending the state alliance meeting this week at Indianapolis. Mr. Yeoman intends visiting the gas regions, touching at Anderson and other points before returning home. Tilden-Steele Comedy Co. will be with us five nights beginning Tuesoay, Jan. 1, they have an excellent repetoire, on Tuesday night they will preseet the “Golden Giant Mine” to this performance one lady will be admitted free when accompanied by person holding one paid reserve seat ticket. The Lowel Tribune says: “There is no use of turning up your nose at the north end of Jasper county. It is improving rapidly. They have a canning factory, a creamery and are putting in 20.000 head of steers this season.” Does the Tribune mean to tell us that the 20,000 steers are in any way connected with the creamery? The following Rensselaer students are home spending vacation: George Mitchell and Ray Thompson, State University; Kirgie Spitler, Wabash College; Warren and Ira Washburn, Purdue; Clarence Sigler, Jay Stockton and Ellis Iliff, Caden Business College, Lafayette; True Alter, of the Conservatory of Music, Cincinnati.

Mr. Barten was here the last of last week and the first of this working in the interests of the Chicago Times. The Times is to-day the leading paper of Chicago, it is truthful, newsy and nearer to the common people than any of the great dailies in the United States. Farmers wanting a Chicago weekly paper, independent voters who want political facts should take the Times. If you should chance to run up against an editor who is trying to live a Christian, don’t ask him to state the circulation of his paper. The lie told in answer to your question, although it may be the first since his joining church, would, if it did not result in his going entirely back to the beggarly elemeuts of the World, sorely cripple him as a Christian.—Ex. The following from an exchange may interest some of our readers: “There is no use walking the floor with a felon,” says a gentleman who has had some experience in that direction. “Wrap a cloth closely around the felon, leaving the end open. Pour gun powder in the end and shake it down until the felon is covered, then keep it wet with camphor. In two hours the pain will be relieved and a perfect cure will follow.”

Never has Rensselaer had such ' a holiday trade as this year, j Anyone going into the stores I here the first of last week, and visitiDg them again to-day might be lead to think they had been raided by thieves. There will be but few, if any holiday goods carried over in Rentselaer this vear. The trade has not been confined to holiday goods alone, but in every line of merchandise there has been an activity never before equaled in this town. Our merchants are deserving of this short season of trade boom, for they have sold goods right down to the lowest notch, just as cheap as they are sold anywhere. The people learning this have spent their money at home this year. Thus the heavy trade the past week.
