R. S. Dwiggins has opened a Jaw office in the room formerly occupied by R. W. Marshall in the Makeever building. He quit the practice about fifteen years ago on account of his health which is now fully recovered. See his card in this paper. Do not forget the Democratic primaries on May 21st. Every advocate of the Chicago platform should be present and Aid in the selection of delegates to the county convention on May 28th which will nominate the Democratic county ticket. Rev. J. L. Meads, the Free Baptist evangelist who conducted the revival meeting at the Free Baptist church in this city last winter will hold a series of meetings, at Vaughn chapel. He commenced last evening. Bro. Claris paper has become quite a picture gallery. This week he presents to the public the familiar features of S. E. Yaoman, Republican Candidate for the Republican nomination for joint representative of this and Lake counties. The ottyjr cut is that of our popular councilman of the First Ward, F. B. Meyer who is the only republican elected in this city last Tuesday.

The elections for city officers passed off quietly throughout the state last Tuesday. The elections are generally very satisfactory to the Democrats. The Democrats elected the full ticket in Hammond with the exception of one member of the city council who was defeated by 23 majority. Valparaiso, Goshen, Elwood and Forte Wayne went Democratic by a large majority. In Michigan City, Martin Krueger was elected by over four hundred majority and with him the entire ticket.

Judge Thompson has been having some trouble with the Fowler bar regarding some resolutions adopted by that bar some time since, condemning the official acts of the Judge. We understand he had the matter before the grand jury of Benton county, but that body refused to indict the members of the bar, much to the disappointment of our most worthy J udge. Mr. John H. Shields, an aged citizen of Jasper county, was found unconscious on a load of corn near Mt. Ayr. one day last week. He had been stricken with apoplexy while driving, and his team Had stopped of their own ac* cord. He was taken to his home in Rensselaer, where he died Saturday evening. He was the father of Mrs. Lucy Malchow, who frequently visits at this place, and an uncle of Mrs. Lewis Reprogle. —Monticello Herald. C. E. Mills, of Rensselaer, was a pleasant caller at this office last Friday. He is a candidate before the convention for the office of joint representative for Lake and Jasper counties. We never met the gentleman before but think from his appearance that he could be depended upon as a safe man for the position which is one of great moment to the people.—Lowell Tribune.

John R. McLean’s Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there is beyond doubt no greater or more popular newspaper in the United States than the Cincinnati Enquirer; or a more successful publisher than its proprietor, McLean. The old-time prices for the Daily Enquirer have been maintained, and its circulation largely increased each year; hard times and cheaper journals failing to arrest its onward march and high appreciation of the public for its true worth and merit The Weekly Enquirer at beginning of the campaign year was offered at 50 cents a year, and its circulation increased by the addition of over aoo,ooo new subscribers; the most substantial and coveted testimonial a publisher could desire. When asked for the secret of such success, Mr. McLean frankly answers: The Enquirer has no opinions to force upon its patrons, it simply prints the facts and tells the truth that the reader may form his own opinions. By maintaining the price of the paper, more news and greater variety can be furnished, and every class of business interests catered to, which a cheaper journal cannot afford. The very liberal support given the Enquirer by the public at large, makes it incumbent upon the management to serve it faithfully with zeal and enterprise in minor matters as well as those of greater magnitude.

Dr. Hickman of DePauw University delivered the Baccalaureate address to the senior class of our high school at the Presbyterian church last Sunday. The address was probably the most able one ever delivered in Remington-. It was very appropriate and appreciated by all who heard it. Many were prevented from hearing it, for the reason that the church edifice was too small to contain all those who desired admission. Mrs. Samuel Thompson, of Monticello, has been visiting with the family of her mother, and her brothers here for the past week. Mrs. William Hiatt, of Frankfort.

once to investigate the cause. It was soon discovered that the fire was located in the south-west part of the city, in a barn occupied Mr. James Edwards, and owned by Mr. A. Leopold, one of Rensselaer’s citizens. Our fire laddies were soon on the ground with our new fire hose, but the fire had made such rapid headway that it was out of the question to save the barn. They however demonstrated the utility of our water works system, for the moment they commenced playing the water on the fire they had it under control. The most unfortunate part of the affair was the loss of a mare belonging to Mr. Edwards which was burned to death. The value of the barn was probably-$l5O, with no insurance. The election of officers for the town of Remington passed off quietly last Monday, the republicans electing their entire ticket with the exception us clerk and treasurer. Ira W. Yeoman the old clerk and treasurer was reelected by a good safe majority.
