Here’s wishing it success, hovtrever. - • •

The stomach controls the situation. Those who are hearty and strong are those who can eat and digest plenty of food.

According to a ruling of the at torney general, no mortgage exemptions will be received by the county auditor until after April 1. It is necessary for the person taking the benefit of the exemption law to make affidavit that the mortgage in question was in existence on the first day of April. No person can make a good affidavit during the month of March to the existence of a mortgage on propertyon April 1. For this reason no exemptions will be taken until after the latter date. The Jasper County Democrat has been awarded the contract to print the bar docket at 39 cents per page. Judge Thompson Succeeds in practicing economy in jasper county where he failed in Benton county.— Morocco Courier. We do not know what price was paid in Benton county, but we do know'that 39 cents per page is jus* about half what the work is worth, and that the price paid in Jasper county will not pay the wages of a good type setter, let alone yield a profit. The printers of Rensselaer, should get together and stand up for their rights instead of trying to cut each other’s throats.

CASTOR IA ■■ For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought It is understood that the city council is considering the matter of letting the 3ity legal printing to the lowest bidder among the city newspapers as suggested by the Democratic mayor. We had always supposed that patronage of this kind belonged to the papers which helped elect the officers, but if they cannot see through the scheme of the democratic mayor and democratic councilmen they are surely blind. We suppose* a, few dollars a year could be saved hy* this method but are certain many dollars could be saved by the council allowing themselves only one dollar each per meeting instead of two, as formerly. OA.STOIHA, Bear* the /y The Kind You Have Always Bought % T re A! few seasons ago it was generally conceded that minstrelsy was dead, a mere passing f&d .loomed to an early and unwept end. The idea was erroneous, however, and no better illustration as t v the. falsity of/this assertion can be offered than that of The Gus Sun; American .Mlnjstrels, who will appear at Ellis’OperaHouse, Friday evening. Theatrical managers are unanimous on the statement that minstrelsy is of the permanent fixtures of, amusement The Sun Minstrels rank among the foremost, and we teel safe in assuring our read ers of an evening’s entertainment full of agreeable surprises. Mgr. Ellis is to be dohiplimented on securing for his patrons such a standard attraction.

FROM MANILA.

Ernest Middleton Writes From a Hospital. Manila, P. j. Jan. 16,1901. Editor Journal: News from the Philippines has been very scarce but now it has .picked up again and guess I can find a little to write, Since Gen. McArthur has issued his last proclamation to''the Filipinos the American troops have been very active and from all sides comes re ports of engagements with the enemy. The south line seems to be more active than the north, but both are very hard at work. Captures of rifles and ammunition are being reported from all the regiments, tney are chasing the niggers all over the island, burning their quarters and destroying every thing that they can use to carry on the fighting. Besides Luzon the troops are very active in Marindaque, Paney and Mindanio islands and many captures have been made,

With the4th Infantry’s report comes the account of an engagement between the niggers and detachments of E and G Companies near Anabo on December 19, and within the last ten days comes reports of the rounding up of many prisoners. Another important move in connection with activity of the troops is the exiling of the leaders to Guam. The Rosecran, which sailed yesterday, is taking a large load of these prisoners to their new home, where they will remain under guard until peace is at last made. Besides the deporting of the leaders the prisoners how in confinement in Manila will be sent to the new prison at Oloagapo, on Subig bay, and they will have a hard time escaping from there. Many homes in the states and also many boys who have spent over a year of hard campaigning over here, are happy to know of the return of the volunteers and - their discharge from the service, The 37th Infantry has already left and the rest of the regiments will leave in turn, so that only the regulars will be left by May Ist and they will have plenty of work to do to hold the rebellion in check until Congress makes some kind of a move toward forming a new army and sending more regiments over here. The vol nteers are also being shipped home from the hospitals and all men who are weak and unable to stand the' marching and sleeping in the rain and mud are being shipped. The Sherman, December 16, carried three hundred; Warren, December 30, five hundred; Sheridan, January 10, three hundred, and the Indiana, January 20th, will carry about four hundred. These men will be discharged as soon as they are able to leave San Francisco and allowed to go to their homes. From my new station here in a ward of Santa Mesa Hospital I can see them going to the transports and the doctor always has to say in my face, “You’re a Regular.” Corp. Stevenson, of my company, was shot and killed on December 24, while approaching an outpost. The shooting was done by a recruit. This is the second man who has been killed in the company since the regiment came over. He enlisted in Indianapolis. The band is playing a farewell to the men going aboard the transport, so I will close now. Yours Respectfully, E. M. Middleton.

Suit Filed.

F. W. Bedford has brought suit against the Board of Commissioners of Jasper county and D. H. Yeoman, of tho Rensselaer post G. A. R., in which he asks the court to forbid the use of the court house to the G. A. R. post and the Ladies Of the G. A. R. for lodge purposes. When the court house was built the commissioners set aside a room as a memorial hall for the use of the G. A R. and it has ever since been used by them and the Relief Corps for lodge purposes, until lately, when internal diSsentions in the Relief Corps lead to the withdrawal of a portion of the membership and the organization of the Ladies of the G. A. R. When the latter were given the use of the hall the Relief Corps withdrew and a suit is the result. • It is understood that the use of the court house for lodge purposes is not authorize by law.

Court Notes.

The case of the state vs August Hoops for selling liquors on legal holiday was tried again last Thursday, but the jury failed to agree on a verdict. There was originally six indictments against Hoops. On two of them he was found guilty and heavily fined three were dismissed, and on the last he has had three trials and each time the jury has failed to agree on a verdict. The prosecuting attorney has asked to have the case dismissed. In the case of the Btate vs. Geo. E. Marshall, charged with criminally libeling F. E. Babcock, * verdict of not guilty was returned by a jury. The case was tried by Jesse E. Wiison. A case that has been a puzzler to the court was disposed of Tuesday. It was that of Mrs. Elizabeth Schofield against her husband, John Bchofleld, for separate maintenance and custody of their children. Some months ago, Mrs. Schofield became insane and was sent to an asylum, but was later discharged as cured. Since that time her husband has refused to live with her. The judge’s decision was that her husband pay her $25 per month, or S4O per month if the children decided to live with her. They were given their choice in the matter and decided to remain with their father.
