O. U. W. The best thing that has happened in the south part of Jasper county for the past three years was that glorious rain which fell last Tuesday night. The writer left Rensselaer at about 7 o’clock on that evening when it was raining quite hard, and arrived in Remington about 9 o’clock, it having rained nearly all the time coining over. We got somewhat wet, but do not mind the wetting as we were glad to see the drougth broken. The electrical display was grand. About half tfce time everything was lighted up by the flashes of lightning and the other half of the time we were in total darkness. The rainfall was four inches during the night in Remington. and the good done to pastures and meadows is incalculable, to say nothing of the cisterns and wells about town.

Richard Pruett reports an addition of town boys at his family residence the past week. We understand that "Dick” and the other parties interested are all doing reasonably well under the circumstances. We noticed that, while in your city last week, there is a certain class of young fellows bordering on manhood’s estate, who, like the same class in this town, are passing the way to pay a heavy fine. We refer to those young men who are constantly insulting an old gentleman by the name of Fleming who resides in Jordan township. They do this thing believing that it is a smart thing to do and to aggravate the old man. They should desist at once or possibly they may regret it. Old corn and oats continues to pour into the elevators at Remington. The new corn crop for this section of the country is now an assured fact and the yield will be equally as good as last year which was perhaps more than an average. Were the prices what we think they should be our people would be right in the swim. Simon Leopold has removed his stock of goods from Remington to Rensselaer and will continue in the mercantile business

in your city. Our people are loth to lose such a good citizen as Mr. Leopold and they all hope that he will be prosperous in his venture in Rensselaer. Mr. Chas. H. Peck, one of Remington's best business young men. is now putting in a large stock of clothing, boots and shoes, and furnishing goods in the Jaber store roOm just vacated by Mr. Simon Leopold. We all wish Charley abundant success in his new venture and we believe that he will make asuccess of it as he is built on the successful plan.

Thomas Grant formerly of Rensselaer now’ of Remington and in the employment of the Jasper County Lumber Company has bought lots in the north part of towm in Bruell's addition and has built therein a neat little barn and other outbuildings, and will at once build himself a good residence on the same. Tommy has prospered nicely since he came to Remington as he deserved to do and as all persons are almost sure to do who attend strictly to the business which concerns themselves only and leave the business of other people strictly alone. He is a faithful employe and merits the praise of the community and the money he has earned. Wolcott in White county has several cases of fever among its inhabitants the cause it isclaimed being the bad condition of the water in that town. We learned of two recent deaths there, and another man by the name of Davis was reported dying there Monday forenoon. The ordinance of baptism was conferred on three recent converts to the Christian faith on the evening of the Ist inst. at the Christian church in Remington.

The public schools of the town of Remington and also all the public schools of Carpenter Township were opened on Mon day morning the 9th inst. under favorable auspices. The enrollments bid fair to outnumber the enrollments of all former years. The schools all start out with bright prospects for the future. Howard Jones left last Tuesday for an extended trip through the West. He will visit Wyoming. Montana. Idaho. Oregon and Washington, and all the principal cities in those states. His object is to see the countries and if anything favorable strikes his fancy he will probably invest somewhere while there. He will be accompanied as far on his journey as Helena. Montana, by Mr. William McKee where Mr. McKee goes to take charge of a professorship in a college at that place. We wish both gentlemen a prosperous journey and a safe return to Hoosierdom. William E. Seymour started Tuesday morning with a party of six land seekers to Northwestern lowa where he hopes to sell some choice lowa lands to all the parties who go with him to investigate the surroundings and view the country. He will be gone abou< ten days. Keystone Corn Busker and Fodder Shredder. Sold by Robt. Randle.

Stole a Sack of Flour.

While expressman W. S. Parks was hauling a Ipad of flour last Saturday one sack slipped unnoticed from the wagon. Aman who was following close behind coolly picked up the sack and put it in his own buggy. Mr. Parks paid for the the flour and is now quietly following a clew that promises to put a hitherto’ reputable citizen in an embarrassing position. He refuses to give any names, but thinks the bread made from that Sack of flour will cost the finder about a dollar a loaf if the matter is not fixed up at once

Agricultural Suggentions From Farmers’ Voice.

In addition to other merits accorded to rye the fact that it is a weed killer is not the least. If rye is sown early it may be safely pastured in the fall. It makes a profitable pasture. The orchard should be cleared of all brush. It is not only unsightly but is a harbor for injects. j Many of the watermelons sent , late in the season to northern ! markets, do not bring the producer a cent. There ought to be a fixed place for rubbish. Unless there is the premises become littered with tin cans, old bottles, etc. Select the largest and most early maturing ears of corn for seed, thoroughly dry it and keep it away from the rats. With a horse slaughtering establishment near Chicago and one in Oregon, there is a prospect that the scrub will be wiped out of existence.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

A preacher, at the close of service, during which he had perpetrated a long and tedious sermon, requested the board to remain after dismission. When the others had left the preacher noticed a stranger sitting in the pew. looking expectant. Upon being asked if he wanted anyi thing the stranger said. "No; but you invited the bored to remain and I do not know of anybody who was worse bored thin ;I whs.” This was not in ten ; miles of Eureka. Eureka Jouri nal. An exchange says that a hum- ■ ble boy with a shining nail went ! singing gaily down the vale, to where a cow with brindle tail, on the alfalfa did regale. A bumblebee did gaily sail, over the soft and shady vale, to where the boy with shining pail, was milking the cow with brindle tail. The bee lit down on the cow's left ear. her feet, flew up through the atmosphere, and through the leaves of a cottonwood tree, the boy soared into eternity. A telephone line is to be constructed between Rensselaer and Remington. A line between Goodland and Remington would give this place connection with Rensselaer. The ’phones used are much better than the present commercial instruments. The Leader expects that every farm house will soon be joined in this way.—Fowler Leader. A correspondent from the western part of the township sends us the following item which possibly properly belongs in the strayed or stolen column. Our friend says: Last Saturday a goat put in a sudden appearance at one of the farms of western Grant causing general commotion. The small boy took to the top rail of the fence and the cat flew to the roof of the mill house with her ornamental appendage largest. Upon close inspection the hieroglyphics on the horns of this goat indicate prehistoric age. It can not be the K. P. goat as it is totally de void of friendship Being alone it may be an Oddfellow. If any secret order has lost their goat they can get it by proving property and paying our correspondent for his trouble in adver-tising.—-Goodland Herald.

It is bad enough when Willie wears the pants his mamma made, and it often knocks you 'silly just to see the youthful , blade wearing pants that no man knoweth which is front or back —if he cometh or he goeth there is quite an equal "slack” But you Susie? Oh. ’tis galling; scalding tears will downward 1 glance, when you hear the urj chins calling: "Say, where did I you get them pants?” You will ■see her youthful, glowing, but .by no dead certan rule, can you tell if she is going or coming ! home from school —There’ll be I trouble you'll allow sirs, there’ll ! be anguish for our pas when the daughters all wear trousers that ! are revamped from their mas. So I'm weeping as I'm writing and my great tears fall like , pears, scarce I know what I'm inditing for I am sorry for the ' girls.—Exchange. The peppermint crop in northern Indiana has been harvested and distilled. Frosts, drought and grasshoppers contributed to a short but the price is up. —Monticello Herald. A merchant in an eastern state advertised for a young woman for light-housekeeping. A girl wrote him in answer to the advertisment, asking him where the light-house was located, and if there was any way of getting ashore Sunday nights.—Lowell Tribune A sharp fellow tried to get away with a lawyer by inviting him to dine and then charging him for his dinner and wine,, but the lawyer reported him for selling liquor without a license and pocketed half the fine for giving the information. Better let lawyers be.—Lowell Tribune. A western paper tells of a fellow who every time he gets on a spree, insists on paying for a year’s subscription to his town paper. However, as the editor fails to mention the particular brand of whisky this fellow is drinking, the value of the above item is almost "wholly lost so far as it interests other newspaper men.
