It is nearly time for arrangements to be made for a proper ■observance of Memorial Day. Owing to the fact that May 30 falls on Sunday, orders have been given by the Indiana department of the G. A. R. fixing Saturday, May 29th for the date of the usual ceremonies. The editor and wife worshiped in Indianapolis Sunday, little dreaming that advantage would be taken of their absence by the office force to go fish in’. In as much as the fish were ripe and yielded willingly to the alurements offered, we consented to pass the offense this time with this public repremand. The Port Recovery Journal, for a long time under the management of our former townsman Leslie Clark, has changed hands, W. H. Green & Co. being the new aspirants. Mr. Clark has made a live paper for the of Port Recovery and we 'are sorry to hear of his departure. No doubt we will hear of him again soon. There is nothing the matter with this year’s graduating class of the Rensselaer high school, ■except that there is not enough of them. It consists of seven persevering and studious young people, four girls and three boys; namely Grace Thompson, daughter of Judge S. P. Thompson; Clara Parker, daughter of P. M. Parker; Pearl Blue, daughter of Philip Blue, landlord of the Makeever House; Amanda Hoyes, ■daughter of Mrs. Hester M. Hoyes; Prank Kelly, son of Mrs. Agnes Kelly; Albert Marshall, son of Attorney R. W. Marshall and Hayes Young, son of Mrs. Young, of Mt. Ayr. All of these except Misses Thompson and Hoyes and Mr. Young belong to families which have already furnished one or two graduates of this school.—Republican. There is a lot of boys around town frpm , eighteen to thirty years old who seem to think they are hot sports because they stay up late nights smokeing and chewing tobacco and drinking whiskey and calling each other by their last names. The truth

of the matter is they are ordinary boys without any aim in life and by an idle and vicious youth are preparing themselves for a useless life and dependent old age. Time is the only capital, most of these boys have, and every hour now is worth a year ten years from now, but they waste it as recklessly as if they had a license to live forever. If some of the boys we know of had spent in study the hours they have loafed around the livery stable and box cars the past half dozen years they could have been through college now. Or if they spent them at work they could by this time be the master of any trade.

USED A KNIFE.

Denizens from Gifford Run Amuck— Officers have a JSusy Time. Rensseiaer has its quota df toughs, but about the toughest we have seen for a long time wei’e two young men, Everett and John Burke, from the Gifford region, who came to town Monday with the evident intention of painting it a beautiful crimson. They first proceeded to get well “inspired” and then lit out in search of something to “do

up.” Not at all reticent, they freely gave vent to their spleen and hilarious feeling, Marshal McGowan and Constable Warren bobbed up and tried to arrest them., when things assumed a more .war-like aspect, Everett the older 6he, producing a knife. They experienced no trouble with John, but during the melee with the older, Constable Warren received a very bad cut in the face. But it was getting decidedly hot, so Everett commenced breaking ground Giffordway, a large delegation of people following, there were no weapons in the crowd, he would have undoubtedly made his escape for the time being, had not A. T. Perkins, on horseback, and G. W. Goff and Jay Stockton in a buggy followed him. The fugitive in the meantime had secured transportation with another party from out that way, but was finally overhauled near Monnett’s cross-roads, where A. T. shoved his gun at Burke and he elevated his “dukes.” He was brought back to town and landed in jail, where will have plenty of time for meditation. The man in the buggy, who helped Burke get away, was allowed to go, although himself an accomplice, but no doubt Will be located again in short order. Dr. Berkley dressed Mr. Warren’s injury, a deep long cut between the nose and eye, which we hope will not be attended by any serious results, although it was a narrow escape for him.

Brook Items.

Mies Sue Warr returned home Saturday after a week's visit with her sister in Lafayette. Quite a number of young people from Mt. Ayr were in town Sunday. Mr. Hayworth of Chicago, is doing a great deal of paper hanging in Brook, Goodland, Foresman and Kentland. A few of the young people of our city enjoyed Saturday evening at Mr. Will Fry’s. Misses Ethel Rider and Laura Smith were visiting Mrs. Newall last w r eek. Tom Meredith has placed a soda fountain in his restaurant, and will soon be ready to serve the people. Mrs. Parm Wright and son Zern, of Rensselaer, spent Sunday with Mr. Vondersmith. Mr. Ponsler, who has been very sick, is slowly improving, Miss Alma Hess, of Mt. Ayr, is visiting her uncle this week, Ed Wolf has reiurnect to our city, after a sojourn of a week in Foresman. He reports that town in a flourishing condi-’ tion. Miss Nora McMillen spent Sunday with Miss Lulu Wolf.

Will McMillen has improved his ice cream parlor by treating it to paint and paper. Mr. Light has the contract of building the new Christian church. Philip McCabe has a new wheel, presented to him by Morgan & Wright. It is a dandy. If you want to know the condition of the sidewalks in town, ask the young people, as they surveyed them Sunday evening. The regular teachers examination wab held hei-e Saturday. Quite a number of teachers convened at the school house in the morning, but during the day they were continually quiting the examination. There was quite- a sensational trial in our city Friday, between squire Potter and wife of Goodland. It was one of the same kind, the wife was much younger than the husband and she had securod all his money and was now ready to kick him out. The jury was out but a few minutes and returned a verdict in favor of the old gentleman. The district revenue collector was in town last week, but found everything in a lawful and peacable manner. There is always some one who is ready to do something if they can get some one else

to do it.

The people of Rensselaer want municipal ownership of their electric lights and will sustain the council in refusing to grant an extension of the franchise of the General Electric Company, which is soon to expire. The company promises to improve the plant and reduce the cost of lighting the streets 5 per cent. What the people want is cheaper lights for their private use as well as for the city, and a five per cent reduction of prices won’t satisfy them either. Present rates can be cut one half and still meet legitimate expenses. It is done elsewhere and can be done here. The fact that the company want a ten year contract is sufficient evidence that the lighting business pays in Rensselaer. The further fact that the company has been asking the city to buy their property hei’e at twice its value is further evidence of the cinch they have.
