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.

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.
