WHAT OTHERS SAY.

There should be no criticism of the bloomer girl as long as she is our girl.—DelptfiPCitizen. The new laws wlat into effect Monday, after an exhibition of gubernatorial inconsistency and “sore toe.*’—Monticello Herald. James Carson, one of Porter county’s commissioners, was in ohr city Monday enroute for Renssetaar. He was accompanied by his wife.—Lowell Tribune. The big straw piles of John McMullen, two miles east of town, have been bought by the Ellsworth Paper company, and are being hauled to the paper mill.—Rosedale Herald. Delphi was deserted Thursday. The morning trains out of the city carried many people to the surrounding cities,, while every rig in town —hay wagons and anything with wheels—conveyed merry picnickers over toythe river and along the banks of the creek.—Delphi Citizen.

Winamac has received back in advertising every dollar w’hich she invested in the canning factory. It is doubtful *if our real estate boom would have reached the dimensions it has in several years to come had it not have been for the renown which our vast public improvements have created abroad—Winamac Republican. About this time of the year, when the wheat crop promises badly, the individual who has a new variety of wheat which y ields from forty to sixty bushels per acre and is never known to fail, makes his appearance and disposes of seed to credulous persons at several times its actual value.-Wabash Plain Dealer. The Anderson Herald reports that there is a family named Leonard in county the father of whom never had a tooth in hi&‘head. His wife is bountifully supplied with good teeth, but his children, three sons and one daughter, are marked with the same deficiency as marked their father. Neither the father nor the children have any trouble in masticating solid food.

“A cigarette is a roll of paper and tobacco with a small fire at one end and a large fool at the other. Some of its chief enjoyments are condensed nightmare, tits, cancer of the lip and stomach, spinal meningitis, softening of the brain, funeral processions and families shrouded in gloom. There are plenty of subjects left, however, who are perfectly willing to undergo trials of such a trivial nature for the purpose of putting on a certain amount of style.”—Exchange. Some days ago a calf belonging to James Green got it, into his head that he wanted to see a little more of the world, and meandered over to some beehives near by and proceeded to have a little fun with these busy little insects. He let drive with both feet at one of the hives and' knocked it galley-west. The bees soon rallied from the shock and turned their attention to the young bovine with such deadly effect that he w'as soon placed hors de combat and died in a few minutes from their stings.-Rem-ington Press. The game of base ball between the Fowler and Remington clubs played on the Fowler grounds last Friday was the best game ever played at this place. Both clubs did some excellent playing. Judge Wiley umpired the game, and all were pleased with his decisions' The best of feeling prevailed throughout, and nobody felt sore over the result except the gentlemen who had their good money bet and- lost on the game. The game was quickly played and resulted in favor of Remington by a score of 6 to 5; —Fowler Review. \ . v There is a unique publication at Lagro called the Free Press. It is printed, or rather written, on brown wrapping paper, all the work being done with a lead pencil ->y the editor, the appearance of an ordinary newspaper being well imitated.

RENSSELAER, IND.,,THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1895.

What We Are Coming To! [From Ignatius Donnelly's New Book—“ The American People's Money.”] L -- l ' A l.wW _l jlijl ® John Bull—Get off the planet, you bold fraud. You were conceived in a blunder and your existence is a reproach to the money-power of the world. Get hout! Rothschilds—Gei away wit you! Der is no God but Mammon, and John and me are his prophets. Here, take your “Teclaration of Independence” mit you. All a lot of lies! .

Lagro are represented in its advertising columns, and some attention is paid to general local news. Among the odd advertisements of the last issue is a “liner” for a “Man to whip Frank Williams.”—Redkey Times. “It’s an ill wind,” said the tumble-bug, as he got up on his hind legs last night and took in deep inspirations of the ozone which the zephyrs were wafting hitherward from the bosom of the Calumet.-Hammond The experiment is being tried in Jasper county of raising alfalfa. So far it is resulting very satisfactorily, but the real test is in the way it will stand the winter in this climate. Alfalfa is a species of clover, and is very much grown in California, Colorado and other dry western states. It is a great hay plant for dry regions from its tendency to send its roots down deeply. In California it produces from three to five good crops in a season. It makes as good a hay as red clover, and like that is difficult to harvest in good condition unless strictly dry weather prevails while it is curing.—Delphi Citizen.

So far as Marion county is concerned the Nicholson law is practically a dead letter, a condition which obtains by the grace and the power invested in the county commissioners under section 2of the Nicholson law. As the eyes of the state are always turned on county, the example set, whether salutary or pernicious will undoubtedly be followed by the commissioners of other counties with few exceptions, and therefore the purpose of the Nicholson law to rob the saloon of its attractive side features will prove abortive.— Hammond Tribune. The rapid increase in the number of bicycles necessitates further decisions pertaining to the rights of the wheel on the road. The courts have already decided that the bicycle is a vehicle and as such has no right to the use of sidewalks in towns and cities. As to its rights on -the road no decisions, so far as we know, have been rendered, and riders do not know whether they are entitled to half the road or not when meeting other vehicles.—Exchange. According to reports from Valparaiso Saturday the thermometers in that town registered in sundry places as high as 105 degrees From so (no of the press reports sent out from that intellectual seat during the past three months. ,a temperature of 7Q5 degrees would be fitting in certain localities. -Hammond Tribune. A man over in Starke county. Ind., stopped his local paper and wrote to the editor as follows; “I think folks otteut to spend 1 there munny fer paypers mi

daddy didden and evry buddy sed he was the inteligentes’ man in the kuntry and had the smartest famly of boize that ever dugged taters.” —Goodland Herald. Several of our citizens have already, and others we hear contemplate erecting air moters on their grounds for tne purpose of raising water into a tank for irrigating and sprinkling purposes.—Goodland Herald. The wind and the rain pertqrbed the Calumet river sufficiently last night to make the odor for miles around something awful, but the river was much the better this morning for its unexpected perturbation. What is needed is a current of sufficient velocity to carry off the sewage and refuse which dailyfind their way into the river. The accomplishment of this result is worth thousandsand thousands of dollars to Hammond, and the work should be taken up at once by the people of the Calumet district.—Hammond Tribune. The manifest willingness of the saloon men throughout the state to conform to the provisions imposed by the Nicnolson law is in them exceedingly commendatory. “Although,” as a saloonkeeper once said when speaking of its evils, “it is a h—l of a business, every saloonkeeper is not necessarily a devil.” —Goodland Herald.
