RENSSELAER IND., THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1897.

Henry Vincent has been spending a week with his family bt Sardinia, Ohio. He is expected back this week, to s uperintend the issue of the May Archer. A rumor was current Monday that a Good land bank had failed, causing some of our citizens who had funds deposited in it some uneasiness. Investigation proved the rumor false. Judge Burnham held court in the city hall Monday morning to try the case of Hastings vs Haley. a suit wherein the former asked pay for certain work done while a tenant on the latter’s farm. The verdict is given in another place in this paper. William P. Sn»ith, Archer General of Plato’s Archer, who has been in Rensselaer for several weeks, superintending the prepration of printing supplies for the order, will return to Indianapolis in a few days to establish headquarters of the order there. Miss Flora Wharton was unable to teach last week because of a severe carbuncle on her face, which it is feared will re suit in the loss of an eye, so dangerous has it developed. Dr.. Peters, the specialist of Lafay- 4 ette, has been called to treat her.

The Monon is spending sls- - in making a first-class picnic ground at Cedar Lake. There will be, besides a new station, a dancing pavilion, restaurant and refreshment stand, concession stand, boat houses, hath houses, a fully appointed athletic field for all kinds of outdoor sperts, a fast bicycle track and other attractions.

From Tuesday’s Daily.

Gowdy, who has resigned to go to Paris as Consul General. C. W. Duvall has sold his buss business to Mr. Shofield, lately of Brook, and a brother of the new manager of the brick livery stable. Mr. Duvall still retains his general teaming and freighting outfit, and business. The first base ball game of the National League was played yesterday between Philadelphia and Boston, at Boston, and resulted in a victory for the former. We noted the fact that Orth, who so easily lead our boys to defeat at Monticello a few years ago, when nearly all

of our sports had everything but their car fare bet, was in the box for Philadelphia. At last the trouble over the Honey Creek, White Co., gravei road bonds has been adjusted, and the money for them has been paid over. The work of building the road will now be proceeded with. Taber, Curtis & Hawkins, of Remington, have the contract, but Sayler, Sigler & Thompson, of Rensselaer, who are connected with the Remington parties in the proposed stone crushing plant, at Monon, are also interested with them in building this road, and in which the crushed stone will be used. Iroquois Lodge of Odd Fellows has just ordered nearly S3OO worth of new paraphernalia, and is reorganizing its degree staff, both with the expectation of soon being able to perform initiatory and degree work in the most approved style. This old and popular lodge still increases rapidly in numbers and iniluence.. Ever since the beginning of the erection of its fine building, its growth in numbers has been especially remarkable. New and desirable members are being added at almost every meeting.

The Rensselaer Building Loan and Savings Association has money to loan at 8 per cent interest per annum. Call on any of the following officers. A. Parkison, M. L. Spitler, John Eger, E. D, Rhoades, George E, Murray, Chas. A. Spitler, Dr. I. B. Washburn, A. Leopold, E. P. Honan, Directors. James 11. Chapman, Secretary, Hollingsworth & Hopkins Attorneys.

Township S. S. Convention.

A Township Sunday School convention for the township of Wheatfield will be held at the town of vVheattield, Sunday May 3rd, 1897. The forenoon session will begin at 10:30 A. M., and the afternoon session at 1:30 P. M. The county president and secretary are expected to be present. Everybody cordially invited to be present. Those from a distance who bring their dinners will be provided with a comfortable place for eating the same. S. D. Clark, Township President.

A model Drug Store.

C. J. Werthman has been here for the past ten days superintending the installment of the shelving, show cases, counters, etc., which are being put in place for A. F. Long’s new drug store by the Bloomington (Ill.,) Store Fixture Co. He has demonstrated his thorough understanding of mechanics, and is withall a most agreeable gentleman. The work he has done in this store for Uncle Ad Parkison will be of value to the firm in establishing a reputation and winning business for them on its merits. Every detail has been faithfully executed and not a Word of fault has bpen found by either Mr. Parkison or Mr Long, the former seeming quite as well pleased and proud of the appearance of the truly magnificent store as is his tenant. Mr. Long has only words of praise for the enterprising manner in which Mr. Parkison rushed the building to completion and finished it in such a thoroughly modern and expensive style. No expense has been spared to make it the best fitted room for a drug stock to be found outside of the large cities. It is indeed a credit to Rensselaer to have so attractive a pharmacy among its business houses. The bids for the fittings ranged from SIOSO to SI6OO, an intermediate price being paid to the Bloomington Co. All of the wood is of quarter sawed oak; the showcases are the modern double deck, heavy plate glass style; the large drawers are on rollers as are the slide doors which cover the shelves; every one of the 400 drawers fits perfectly. There is room for 2,000 rolls of wall paper in the 200 sections of shelving set aside for it. The basement has already received part of the stock of paints and oils intended for it, and by the time this is published the store above will be in the midst of its installation of fine new goods. It is a delight for a merchant to know that every article in his whole stock is new and fresh, and especially so in the case of drugs, where age is often a serious defect. With what

: pride and satisfaction does such abusinessman select his wares and beautify his store with bright and dazzling displays. His talent and taste can tind its full scope in beginning anew in store, fixtures and stock, and ho cau be pardoned if he feels a self satis tied pride in his accomplishment; he can be forgiven the air of vanity with which he smiles on his friends as he shows them the many details so dear to his hearts gratification. It is a transfor mation accomplished in ninety days from the time the cruel llames licked up the block and store, sparing not the many treasures and mementoes that can never be replaced, but here in his new surroundings he bids you all to call, he is ready to receive you.

THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS

A Short History of Indiana's Great* est Newspaper. Whatever excels interests. The loftiest mountain, the longest river, the largest city. Yet keener interest attaches to the greatest achievements of men—in oratory, statesmanship or war. The sharpest contest these days is between newspapers, demanding the greatest diversity of gifts, of knowledge and sagacity. In other fields the decision is doubtful, but in journalism the popular verdict is pra tieally registered each day in the subset,itiou list—a sort of Australian Ballot System. This test shows The Indianapo is News to have more bona fide reader.■> than any other four Indiana Dailies combined. This makes good the above title head. The whole State may huh ' -.-. ride in another point scored by The News: it is conceded to nave nior. vi.Yiii.uion propprtioned to population than any other American Daily. Whether tin's signifies greater enterprise in The News’ or a more intelligent renting people, or both is a question. No phenomenon exists without its adequate cause. The News itself gives two nuin reasons as follows: (1) When The News begun, twentyeight yearn ugo, every other paper laid Its political alliance, slavishly espousing one party with Its principles and inflates against all others, looking to (hat party in turn for support and patronage; the highest ambit I a v as the organship of Its party in Sto'e, .11 strict, county or neighborhood. The New,? believed thu:t such relationship tint only biased the editorial mind, but in:<• msetou-dy, If not consciously, tinted md colored the news columns, leading in the nsugrtfylng of what tended to help, nil tninftnlss'r.g or suppressing what hurt the party. The News, therefore, swung lo.i;*e from oil entan glementfl and blazed a new way absolute Indeper. lt:i, ~ nor nuutrullty, which means the opposite; criticised men or measure g of either party; always took sides, with a choice even between evils; distinguished between the freedom and slavery of Independence; not hesitating to ally Itself with either party In turn to bring in reforms or break down abuses. While this course meant no political patronage and usually the anger of both parties at the s imo time, it found marvelous response In !he universal American Instinct of Independent thought. It compelled respect and opened the door for readeis iu the ranks of all parties. This men -t preponderance of circulation, which, In turn, means preponderance of advertising, ci) Tho News wus the first 2-cent paper In tho West, all others f. cents. Against universal prophecy that 11 could not llvo at such a price, It is now 25 per cent, larger, taking the six week day issues together, than any other Indiana dally, and sells at 10 cents a week delivered anywhere by carrier or mall, postpaid, against 15 cents a week, which Is charged for the next best Indiana dally. No other paper In the State, at whatever price now pretends to furnish equal quantity and scope of intelligence—n volume of telegraphic news and correspondeno* from all quarters of the globe; u harvest of State happenings; market quotation* for the farmer and business man, averaging from seventeen to twenty-four hours ahead of all morning papers; abstracts of Supreme Court decisions for tho legal profession; something for everybody—ln amount to stagger credulity. It is estimated that not less than 150,000 people read The News every day. It maintains for the people cheap rate “Wanted” columns for advertising, by which millions of property changes hands annually without the owners ever seeing each other. Almost all have something to sell, buy, trade, or rent: a horse, cow, wagon, farm, mill or store, etc., etc. Express it in as few words as possible, then count every word and send as many cents as there arc words to The News and see the result. Or if preferred write out what you want and they will phrase the advertisement for you and return with the price. Address THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, Indianapolis, Ind.-
