All who oppose a government by in junction will naturally favor Judge Henry C. Caldwell as the populist candidate for the presidency, for, it was he alone of all who dared affectively to oppose the vicious system. Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jackson James Monroe Grover Cleveland Williams Jennings Bryan is the punishment for life a fond loving papa at Lowell Ind., meted out to his youngest son, who was born last Saturday.

Quite a crowd of curiosity seekers were drawn to town last Saturday to help stem the tide of hard times* many are said to have recieved a little more than their quarters’ worth of experience and—presumeably,—gratification. Mrß. Mary J. Hopkins, whose foot was very painfully cut by a fragrament of glass, one day last week, is said to be rapidly recovering from the effects of the accident, under the skillful treatment of Dr. Mills; much to the gratification of her numerous friends.

It wonld be hard to convince a man suffering from bilious colic that his agony is due to a microbe with an unpronouncable name. But one dose of DeWitt’s Colic * Cholera Cure will convince him of its power to afford instant relief. It kills pain. A. F. Long. We are anxious to do a uttle good in this world and can think of no pleasanter or better way to do it than by recommending One Minute Cough Cure as a preventer of pneumonia, consumption and other serious lung troubles that follow neglected colds. A. F. Long. When we consider that the intestines are about five times as long as the body, we can realize the intense suffer ing experienced when they become inflamed. DeWitt’s Colic & Cholera Cure subdues inttamation at once and completely removes the difficulty. A. F. Long. On last Saturday the Ladies' Relief Corps of Rensselaer served ice cream and cake in any army tent prettily decorated with flags and bunting. While the receipts were not altogether up to their expectations, they were fully as much as could be expected when the cool and inclement weather is taken in consideration.

Thos. B. Rickerts of Maryville, Missouri, arrived in Rensselaer last Friday to visit old friends. He has been absent from Rensselaer twenty-nine years, where he spent his youth. He was a member of the 87th Indiana Volunteers, ,£nd is now seeking evidence that will establish his rights to a pension. He returns this week. Eli Hill, Lumber City, Pa., writes,“l have been suffering from Piles for twenty five years and thought myself incur able. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve was recommended to me as a pile cure, so I

bought a box and it performed a permanent cure.” This is only one of thousands of similar cases. Eczema, sores and skin diseases yield quickly when it is used. A. F. Long. Uncle Jack Warner and his son have been doing their share of carrige painting this season, having already turned out over forty jobs, several of which are reatly fine pieces of work. They have their shop on Front street south of Hemphill’s shop, their sign reading J. P. &D. J. Warner. They are prepared to do house paintingand will make as low a price as first class work can be done for. Mrs. Hester Branson, and her son Mont and little daughter Cora of Elwood Nebraska, have been visiting with friends in Rensselaer the past week. They go to Morrocco to-day where they will stop some time with Mrs. Branson’s father, Mr. Levi Bridgeman. They will probably remain in Indiana, and the rest of the family come to them, as the crops of that part of Nebraska are again ruined by draught. The work of preparing the ground for the building of the new court house is progressing finely, about one third of the work of excavation for the basement has been done, and the work to completion is being rapidly pushed, the surplus dirt is being utelized to raise the grade of the court house square, giving the same an easy slope from the building in all directions. toward the streets, which will add much to the beauty of the park, as well as provide for perfect surface drainage. A well is being driven near the center of the building and has already been sunk to a depth of 145 leet.

In Society.

A most enjoyable home entertainment was given by Mrs. E. D. Rhodes at her pleasant residence on Front street on Thursday afternoon of the 16th inst. The rooms were tastely decorated with cut flowers and bouquets, producing a very pretty effect. The guests were delightfully entertained and will preserve the memory of this occasion as a treasure for pleasant reminiscence. The menu was very fine, comprising an abundance of life’s comforts and luxuries admirably spread and gracefully served. The literary entertainment, “a quotation hunt,” was a contest for first and second prize to be given the person constructing the greatest number of correct sentences from quotations from the Bible and Mother Goose’s Melodies. The successful contestants were Mrs. Frank Ross, first prize, a silver hair pin receiver. Mrs. C. G. Spitler second prize, a silver glove buttoner. The following guests enjoyed the hospitalities of Mrs. Rhodes’ home: Mesdames— H. J. Kannal Watson Martin Geo. Murry k° n 8 A. Thompson Ora Ross F. B. Meyer Sadie Laßue Lizzie Robinson Thos.

Hanley worth On the afternoon of the 21st inst. Mrs. C. C. Star opened the hospitable doors of her beautiful home, and gracefully received and entertained some forty or more guests. A very nice lunch was served and the intellectual feature was exceedingly unique, each guest was handed a gum heart upon which was the name of an animal or reptile; the "amusement feature of the entertainment consisted in chewing the gum, to rehder it plastic, and make therefrom a representation of the object indicated, the person making the first and second best model receiving the prizes. The first prize was awarded to Miss Ross of Terre Haute; the second prize to Mrs. D. G. Warner. The following is a list of the guests: Mesdames— F. D. Craig E. D. Rhodes D. G. Warner J. H. Ellis E. Honan C. G. Spitler J. F. Hardman W. Wishard J. F. Warren P. Benjamin W-B. Alter H. Kannal F. Ross A. F. Long Geo. Murray F. B. Meyer W. A. Rinehart J-C Ruefelt Robert Phillips H.

Ross, Terre Haute Parker Williams Laughridge • (Danville, Ill.) Rhoades * Quite a number of young ladies and gentlemen wore entertained by Mrs. T. J. McCoy at their magnificent residence, on the evening of the 21st inst., conversation and sociability being the feature of the entertainment. Among the honored guests were Miss v Florence Hale, of Tacoma, Washington, and Mrs. Ewry, of LaFayette. It was the unanimous verdict, enthusiastically rendered, that nothing could be more enjoyable than the progressive domino party given by Mrs. Benton Forsythe in her beautiful rooms on the I afternoon of the 23 inst., gloomy and forbidding as it was outside not even a shadow crossed that happy thresshold. Some thirty guests were most magnificently entertained and all were made to feel and appreciate the kindness and thoughtfullness of their charming hostess. The menu was most elegant and gener. ous, and the dainty carnation pink souvenir adorning each plate was duly appreciated. The game of progressive dominoes was entered into with a zest by all and was made doubly interesting by reason of the prizes offered as a reward for the most and least successful playing; resulting in the first prize, a silver sugar spoon, being awarded to Mrs. W. A. Rinehart, second prize, paper knife, to Mrs. T. J. McCoy and the third or “booby” prize to Mrs; J. L, Brady of Fowler. As the shades of evening approached and thoughts of home forced themselves upon the unwilling mind, the outside situation, for the moment, became a subject of some when the thoughtful kindness of' the hostess was again made manifest as the hack drove up, ready for the emergency. The guests were: Mesdames— James Randle G. K. HollingsBrown worth Murray Kannal Robert Randle Williams A. Stockton C. W. Coen L. A. Moss Alter English Ewry W.H. Porter (LaFayette) E. P Honan E. D.
