A Birthday Reminder.

An exceedingly .pleasant afternoon for the Daughters of the Revolution, of the General Van Rensselaer Chapter, to the number of fifteen, was spent in the country two miles west of ■- town at the home <>f Mr. and Mrs. .Moore, June 25. It was Mrs. Moore’s seventy-third birthday. -■ she having the distinction of be.ing one of only five living daughters of Revolutionary soldiers liv„ing in Indiana. A special program was rendered as follows: “Battle of Bunker Hill,” was the subject of an excellent paper read by Mrs. A. McCoy, followed by a recitation. ‘Paul Revere's "Ride,” by Mrs. E. P. Honan. Mrs. A. Purcupile next read an interesting paper on. "The Origin and /History of our Flag.” which wah followed by a carefully prepared - paper on “GOi. Lafayette as a Frenchman.” Mrs. F. B. Meyer. The special feature of the occasion, was the presentation of a beautiful souvenir spoon to Mrs. Moore, which was done by the Regent Mrs. T. J. McCoy in behalf of the Chapter with a few very appropriate remarks. Mrs. Moore responded in a very fitting manner thanking the ladies for their visit and the memento. After enjoying refreshments the ladies wished her many happy returns of the day and returned to their homes in the city.

The Iroquois.

The county the petitioners for the Iroquois improvement, applied fpr Oct., 7, 1892, ordered made April 12, 1893, and the work abandoned May 10, 1894. The county seeks to reimburse itself for all money paid to the viewers and their employees in übout the sum of 53,800, SBOO accrued before April 12, 1893. and $3,000 between that time and May--10, 1894. The petitioners have spent time and money to prepare and present their application, put the reports of viewers and orders of the Board in due form and have also paid all costs not paid by the county. They are appearing to this suit without process, some have done so and the others will no doubt so do and act in harmony. The friends of future drainage improvement will watch this effort to reimburse the county out of the petitioner’s pockets with interest. The statute of March 7, 1891, provides for such reimbursement out of the first money received from the sale of bonds or collection of assessments, the county’s account being kept with the improvement. The failure of the Board to make the proper order on May 10, 1894, left the county’s debtor insolvent. The question raised by this litigation is whether the petitioners are bound to preserve the friendly intentions of the members of the County Board at all stages of ditch construction or repay to the county all expenses to the date of such Board’s refusal to proceed further with their duties in completing the work unkertaken as in this instance on April 12,1893.

David H. Yeoman.

David H. Yeoman, the democratic candidate for Joint Representative. for the counties of Lake and Jaaper, was born in Jasper county in 1841. His father died when he was four years old. He lived with his mother, aiding her in the-management of the farm until the beginning of the rebelion. when at the age of 19 years, he renjwnded to his country’s 'call by enlisting as a private. He was afterward selected as First Lieutenant and served until the close of the war, when he was discharged ns Brevit Capt., at the close of the war. He went with Sherman to the sea. He is prominent in G. A. R. circles and one of our most respected citizens. He was married shortly after the war and lived on a large farm in Union township, about six miles north of Rensselaer. He was an extensive farmer and stock grower and was at one time a member of the State Board of Agriculture. He has always advocated all measures tending to elevate the farmer or laborer. He was at <>ne time a member of the executive committee of the State Grange and was for two years president of the State alliance.

He has held several minor offices. and was twice elected trustee of his township. He is a man of j the people and if elected,.to the position to which he aspires he will represent the whole district 'and the whole people.

Crumpacker Should Resign.

Republican. If the feelings of the patriotic i Republicans of Jasper county is a fair index of the tenth district generally, mid we are convinced that jit is. it will be useless to attempt j t<» re-elect Mr. Crumpacker this fall, and the right and proper thing ,to do will be to induce him to rejsign his place on the ticket, or failing that, to have the congressional ' committee declare the nomination ■ off. and to call a new convention. ’The Republicans here feel that ! Mr. ('rumpacker, in voting against j Hawaii at the time he did, and preceding that unpardonable act by the public explanation he made has betrayed not only the Republican party, but the nation itself. To have gone against the almost universal sentiment of his party, and of the most patriotic and broad minded element of all other parties, heretofore, on this question, would have been bad enough; but to go against that sentiment now when the exigencies of war have brought home to our people as never before the necessity of taking these freely offered islands, as a 'measure of tin t ion a 1 • lefense — is unpardonable. There was no one part of Cleveland’s most unpopular administration so universally condemned by the Republicans nor so generally by the Democrats, as his hauling down the American flagat Hawaii. And’there was no act in the official life of Walter Q. Gresham which di<l so much to wreck and destroy his former good fame as his support of President Cleveland in that matter. But at the time Cleveland ordered the Bag down, the necessity of its being up there was not half so apparent as now, when Crumpacker votes for it to stay down. Let us put up the flag and let us put Crumpacker down. It is the only course left for the Republicans of the tenth Indiana district consistent with true patriotism to the country and true fealty to the most patriotic party that ever swayed the destinies of our nation.
