' J. F. Heinzman, left for Noblesville, this morning, after several days in this city on business. Tomorrow quite a number of W. R. C. ladies of ihe- Rensselaer lodge. will go to Remington to institute a lodge. Miss Hattie Yeoman, after two weeks visit with relatives and friends in Delphi, returned home last evening. An elegant dinner was tendered Mrs. N. S. Bates, and a number of friends, by Mrs. J. W. Horton at her beautiful home on Cornelia street, in honor of her 50 birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Delos Thompson’s little son, Alfred has been very dangerously sick for some time,' with lung fever and brain trouble, following the measles. At present we are glad to see he is a little better. Mrs. Thompson has also been seriously sick, but is now considerably improved. * Dr. S. C. Johnson, the new physician has secured front .rooms in Hollingsworth’s new |pWashington street building, as an office. The . rooms will be ready in a few days. Dr. Brown, the dentist, who occupied this location before the fire, has concluded to remain where he now is, over Meyer’s drug store. Porter & Yeoman’s dry goods store and Mrs. Imes’ millinery business both got back into their new room in the old location Thursday, May 6th. This was exactly 100 days from the time they were burned out, on the 26th of January. They now have a fine room and one that, in some respects, is better than the one which burned. Jasper County farmers are taking advantage of the present favorable weather to get their ground ready for corn planting. In some cases, planting has already begum some farmers having extensive fields already planted. They report the land as not nearly so wet as was feared from the protracted rains, but the latter were more “drizzle” than rain and did not wet the ground so much as was supposed.
The Rensselaer Merry Mak ers gave a masquerade party at thb home of Mrs. Isabella Parkier, on Jackson street, last night. |About twenty-two were present were entertained by games of various kinds. At a late hour the masks were removed and covers laid for the entire party. Last Monday was the last day for paying taxes, under the new law. There was not the usual last day rush, as most of the tikes were paid several weeks, before it was known that the tintre,would be extended. A large crowd turned out last night to hear a few selections rendered by the Citizens Cornet Band on the corners of Washington 5 and Van Rensselaer and Wellington and Front streets. After eyery piece the crowd snowed their appreciation by a hearty encore, and all looked as if they would like to see it happeh once a week. ' iflit- Cox Will sell you good wood for per cord.

H. Beam, Ag’t. The Finance committee has irt&de the rounds and have enough money subscribed to give ofe-bf the grandest band conven tiqps. that will ever be witnessed by the people in this district. The one held at Monticello last year, was of course a well managed affair, but will not compare with the one that will be held here June 3rd, if the weather is favorable. All we ask is good weather and there Will be at least fifteen bands here, and probably more than twenty. Preparations are being made by several of the secret, organizations of the city, to entertain part of the people. Our hotels and restaurants are very large, and -with ease we can accomodate several thousand people. 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.

The most beautiful flowers and ribbons at Mrs. Hershman’s Depot Millinery store. The prevalence of human nature is common in Jasper county; about as common and human as in other county we think and like murder it will out. A few days ago a subscriber, who has recently been appointed an agent for the farmers mutual insurance company which we gave a column write up a few weeks,ago, called at the office and asked us to write up the good points of co-operative insurance and tell the people that he had been commissioned an officer to write up policies and inviting them to send for him. Had we suggested -that such advertising was worth 10c a line he would have had a fit of middle-of-the-road populism right in our sanctum, so we just wrote up a dollar notice and thanked him for his thoughtfulness in giving us a chance to save the county from the grasping old line insurance cormorants, trusting it might send a few fees his way. The next week we notified him that his subscription was due. It was then that his human nature prevailed. He lost no time in reporting at the office and in no pleasant frame of mind, paid up his arrearage of 35c and “stopped the paper.”

Oats look well. Some of our most progressive farmers have planted corn. Wm. Henson is building an addition to his house. John Penwright was seen around thi6 vicinity last week. Mr. Farmer has a sawmill located on his farm one mile north of Sharon. He is also having some tile put in. Henry Wortly weilds the spade. The Lee Comedy Company billed to appear at Queen City schoolhouse Saturday eve May Ist, appeared on time. After waiting a short time, not more than three hours, for the Director to make his appearance the curtain arose and the play was soon under the way. After holding the audience spell-bound for a couf le of hours while the actors were forgetting their respective “cues” the curtain fell which was hailed with delight by all who witnessed it. Then came the colored death-like scenes awful! Sublime!? No. Didn’t feel sublime, many tried to but couldn’t. Our advice to the aspiring comedians iJ; when you go before an audience be sure.you know what to say. Rehearse your play before you stirt on the road.

Sugar Beet Tests In Indiana.
Early in April the Indiana Agricultural experiment station received a quantity of sugar beet seed sent to it by the United States Department of Agriculture for distribution in this State. By arrangement with the Government, this seed was to be disiributed to persons in Indiana who would agree to grow a certain specified area of beets under the direction of the Station, and at the proper time would harvest the roots and send samples to the Station for examintion for sugar content.
This seed has now been distributed to the proper parties in Indiana, and the Station will be unable to send out more this season. This statement is made for the benefit of those contem plating writing for seed, and as explanatory to those who have written for seed that has not been sent them.
A great deal is being said and Written at the present time concerning sugar beet culture in the United States. Beet sugar factories are being built at several points, and farmers are planting sugar beet seeds in many States this spring. It will interest the readers of this journal to know that the Indiana Experiment Station for nine consecutive years has been engaged in growing sugar beets and studying the adaptability of this State to profitable sugar beet culture. In February 1891, a bulletin was issued by the Station containing information on seed, climate, planting, cultivation and harvesting of sugar beets, with results of sugar tests of beets grown in different counties of the State under the direction of the Station or the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. in April 1892, another bulletin contained additional information along the same line, with results of examination of many beets grown under station direction in different counties in 1891, was published. Tljis bulletin also contained an account of a new disease of sugar' beets. In 1892, beet seeds were sent to 250 points in 92 counties in Indiana by the Station, and a bulletin in March 1893 contained 1 a report of this work. In the
CLODHOPPER.
spring of 1893 seed was sent to 167 sub stations. InMarchlß64, a 28 page illustrated bulletin on sugar beets, containing much information with many more Indiana tests was published. In March 1895, another bulletin contained considerable data along the same line, with analyses of beets grown in 23 different counties of the state in 1894. m both 1895 and 1896 beet experiments were continued, and the same may be said for 1897, on a better scale than ever before. This station has demonstrated that Indiana is in the beet sugar producing belt, though the work of 1897 it is hoped will add much to our data on the subject. The Station will be glad to assist all persons in the State who may desire information in future on the sugar beet question. C. S.
