Rensselaer had its gasolene explosion the other morning at the residence of W. T. Perkins. The occasion for it lay in the gasolene not being turned off fully the night previous, allowing the room to fill with the evaporating gas, so when a match was struck in the morning it was instantaneous explosion, burning hair, whiskers, clothes, bedding, and almost the house, but fortunately that was averted. Lesson: Turn your gasolene off tight when done, and permit no leakage, otherwise its a short route to meet your fellow tourists above. Ap we go to press the injured man is reported as in a fair way to recover.

J A. Stebelton, who resides on the Overton farm 6 miles east of town, related to the Pilot, Monday a case of inhuman treatment of driving horses by some people lately moved from Warren county up to Gifford’s ranch. They attempted through the almost impassible roads of last week to drive a good fat team to a heavily loaded farm wagon from their Warren county place through in two days Reaching Mr. Stebelton’s neighborhood one horse gave out, and instead of putting him in a stable and caring for him as the case demanded, he was turned into an open lot, in a warm sweaty condition, unprotect d from the cold of Saturday night. Consequence the horse died, and another was in fair way to follow suit.

Congressman Crumpacker has given out the following recommendations for Jasper county post masters: Remington, W. E. Peck; Wheatfiold, John Tilton; DeMotte, J. F. Bruner; Kniman, William Hanley; Fair Oaks, David Brocteajk With the exception of includes all the offices in the are now held by dem ocr ats. ‘' jK The appeiMnent at Rensselaer for some reason is hung up; The President has said he will appoint neither side of a faction until they come to some agreement among themselves, this perhaps, accounts for the hang up at this office. If the factions here are as numerous and hungry as the candidates appear to be Mr. McKinley may either import us a post master or appoint some good Pop to serve till the contending elements unite and agree “to be good.” Up to date we have heard of the following names in connection with this office: G. M. Robinson, B. F. Ferguson, Art Cole, Erastus Peacock, George Murray, C. C. Sigler, C. G. Spitler, J. F. Hardman and Tbomas Thompson. Not one of these gentlemen would make a bad post master, all were truly loyal to the g. o. p. the last campaign, but each has his own peculiar claims and fitness for the place. Robinson at present has no office. Ferguson never had an office, he wants one, needs one right bad, just now. Cole and Peacock are in the railway mail service and therefore know more about the postoffice business than anybody else. Murray is a pretty little man and with the postoffice in his control could, perhaps, make confidence and prosperity meet in his business. Sigler is a republican, or at least he voted that way last time and therefore thinks since he is qualified he should be rewarded according to his merit. Hardman while not radical and ranting has always stood by the party. He is fully competent, can be trusted, and just at this time tne office would be a mighty nice thing for him. Spitler would take the place if it were offered him, in fact if it can be had for the asking he will be our next post master. Thompson, well the force of habit has brought him into the race. He of course will be left as usual, but undaunted will boldly bob np at the first opportunity and again ask the people for the very thing they will not let him have.

Rensselaer has never had a bad post master and if the office goes to any of the above named gentlemen (who are all likely to get it) the rule will not be broken this time.

Mrs. L. M. Imes will, close out all of her millinery saved from the late fire at the lowest prices ever offered in Rensselaer.
