Peoples Party Convention.

Members of the peoples party are requested to meet at their usual places of meeting in the several townships of Jasper county March 21, 1896, at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of electing a chairman for each precinct and perfecting the precinct organization as was done about two years ago. The precinct chairmen then selected will constitute the county central committee, and will meet at the Nowels House in Rensselaer, March 28, 1896, for the purpose of perfecting the county organization, setting time for holding of nominating convention, and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. J. A. McFarland, Chm’n. L. Strong, Sec.

David Overmyer, administration candidate for governor on the Kansas democratic ticket at the last election, has addressed the democrats of his state urging them to organize in every precinct in the interest of silver. Mr. Overmyer is a native of this state and a brother of the Hon. John Overmyer, the great democratic leader of south-eastern Indiana. The leaven is working.

An article by Cleveland Moffet in McClure's Magazine for March will describe the curious and important scientific uses lately made of kites, especially in the departments of meteorology, electricity, and photography. It will also describe how to make the modern tailless kite; how to fly kites in tandem, and the possibilities of the kite as a coming instrument of war. Along with other pictures, there will be a number of views photographed from a kite, at an elevation, in in some instances, of 1,500 feet.

Faith, Courage, Success!

A word with our folks who are discouraged and almost ready to give up—please do not give up yet, hold on, fight on. Times will be better, we are sure of it, with Jasper county divided, and a new court house at Virgie filled with middle of the road officers, and run in the interest of the people who elected them. Plan now and plant in the spring; do the best farming next season you have ever done. But do a big lot of thinking this winter. Somebody has undertaken to do it for you without you asking them, and a pretty mess they have made of it. They must quit it, we’ll do our own thinking and work for our own welfare, knowing whatever is good for us is good for our neighbors. Be courageous, be patient, be resolute, and hold on! The skies will brighten and the days of prosperity will surely dawn. Muck Itch.

The early settlers are learning a lesson they should have learned years ago, that, no matter how rich in decayed vegetation, land will not grow crops while coyered with water. B. h.

The hall was packed to its fullest capacity and the audience manifested its appreciation of the entertainment by continuous applause. This was the last of a series of four entertainments given by a special management, and the enterprise throughout a proud success. At least the managers lost no money whilst they perhaps were not much ahead but were Satisfied with the results. H. H. Walker, formerly postmaster here, who has been employed a portion of the past winter in Chicago, returned about two weeks ago, having been taken down with la grippe and other com plications.

George Nixon, head cutter; head and hands burned. Miss Mary Kelly, badly burned on the hands and face and ears frozen. Benjamin Harris, electrician; overcome by the cold.

FIGHT HAS BEGUN.

Chicago Garment Workers and Bosses Commence a Life or Death Struggle. Chicago, Feb. 19.—The present indications are that before the end of another week at least 8,000 garmentworkers employed in the wholesale clothing manufacturing houses of Chicago will be on a strike. In fact, the big strike is now on, but only about 175 men are out, and only four wholesale concerns are affected. These men who have struck are clothing cutters, trimmers, and fitters. The contest is one that will test the full power of the United Garment-Workers’ Association, and the outcome virtually holds its existence in the balance. If the manufacturers win, the association, which numbers on its rosts about 15,000 men, will lose a large part of its membership, while, if the unions win, it will establish the United Garment- Workers of, America as one of the moat powerful Mber bodies’ m the city.
