Political Notes.

Mr. Hanley, of Rensselaer, will be nominated at the judicial convention to be held at Brook, April 10th, and Mr. Hanley, of Rensselaer, will also be elected. We know it hurts, brother Strohm, but we are giving you the facts and you may smoke it or otherwise, just as you see fit.—Morocco Courier. The democrats made their nominations for city offices last evening, but we go to press too early to give the nominees. —o— Morocco has two candidates for prosecutor—Orth Qraves and Reuben Hess, both prominent citizens of Morocco. The present prosecutor, John D. Sink, of Rose Lawn, is also a candidate, and it is reported that C. E. Mills, of Rensselaer, will also be a candidate. —o— At a mass meeting at Morocco last Saturday it was decided to elect delegates to the judicial convention to be held at Brook on Thursday of next week. It is thought that a number of other townships, if not all the townships in Newton county, will send delegates to the convention. —o— Chairman Little, of Newton county, and Editor Strohm, of Kentland, were at Indianapolis last week trying to induce the state committte to interfere in the Jasper-Newton judicial muddle. They received but little encouragement and in a letter from the state committee to Chairman Warner this week he is Instructed to go ahead with the convention as arranged for in the call, as there is nothing irregular in the proceedings. —o— The Prohibitionists are to have their state convention at Indianapolis, on April 15 and 16, at which time they will put a full state ticket in the field. The railroads have made a rate of one fare for the round trip, open to the pub’ic, and a large crowd is expected. A delegation will be present from this county. National Chairman Oliver W. Stewart, of Chicago, will make the principal address. Most of the districts will also at this time nominate a candidate for congress. The Prohibitionists have now opened up state headquarters at Indianapolis, in charge of L. O. Masters, state chairman, with a view of conducting a more aggressive campaign than ever before.

Town Clerk Not a Justice.

The act passed by the last legislature, conferring the powers of a justice of the peace on the clerks of all incorporated towns, has been held unconstitutional by Judge Hiram S. Biggs in Kosciusko Circuit Court. The decision was based on the ground that, while under the constitution the general assembly has the power to create new courts, it has not the power to confer judicial powers on persons or on tribunals already established. The opinion 01 the court was based on the further ground that a section creating and establishing a new court could not be incorporated in an act governing the election and tenure of ministerial officers, and that the establishment of the court is not properly expressed in the title which reads: “An Act Concerning Town Officers.” The first section of the act in question provides for the election and tenure of town officers, while . the second provides that the town clerk shall have all the powers of a justice of the peaoe.

His age was seventy-two years and he leaves a wife and a number of children. The funeral will be held today at the family residence this morning at 10:30, at Surrey, Rev. B. F.

RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY, APRIL 3. 1902.

Our Man About Town,

We heard a traveling man, the other day, tell about two hotels that are so bad no odds whioh one you go to, you will wish you had gone to the other one. V • What has become of all the people who used to wear tan shoes ? V We heard of an orchestra leader the other day who bethought himself of a new scheme. In a piece of music the orchestra wanted to play was a rather difficult strain that he could never get just right, so in order to avoid confusion, he would have an accident with his music stand every time he saw the trouble loom up in the distance. By the time he would get the music stand on its feet again the shoals and rocks and breakers would be past and no one was any the wiser, exoept the rest of the players, who always laughed about it and do yet. *** There is a man in this town so utterly worthless and no account and trifling that the women folks are lying awake nights wishing something would happen to him. V The expression, “As proud as a boy with his first pair of boots,” will have to be changed. They all wear shoes. V When have you heard the expression, “as poor as a church mouse ?” *** A number of people iu this town are allowing little children to have beaus, and some day they will wonder how it comes that they can do nothing with them. %* A very short man once went with a tall girl, and at the opera house folks could not help looking at them. At an entertainment one night, a woman sitting right in front of the couple had on a big hat, and she asked the short fellow if her hat obscured the view of the stage. He suspected that it was a stab at his stature and promptly replied that it did not, although he knew he was lying. He had to lean away out into the aisle all through the show to see around the big hat, and yet he never complained. His neck was stiff for a Week, but he had not admitted that he was short. * * * A man in this town /says he will often carry a letter in his pocket a whole day without opening it. He says he has so little business that he knows nobody will write him letters of any importance. V

A man in this town says he does not read the Ladies’ Home Journal and, therefore, is not up in etiquette, but if it says pie should be eaten with a knife he would pay no attention to it. All he cares for is to get the pie. V A barber says put a man’s hat on his head for him, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred he will change it, no matter how hard you try to put it on his head just as he would. *** A woman in this town baked some cake and forgot to put sugar into it. That day her husband brought company for dinner, and she was so char grined she did not know what to do about it. When the stranger was gone she told her husband what she thought of him for bringing company, but as the doors were closed nobody heard what she said. All he said was that he could not tell when she was going to forget to sweeten the cake. * A man asked f us the other day if we ever got the blues. It was such a funny question that it set us to thinking. We wondered if there were anybody who did not get the blues. We only know two persons who never get the blues. One is a book agent and the other works up lodges. *** A woman in this town was in the habit of making her husband’s shirts. Being somewhat particular, he always kicked on the fit. He said the shirts never felt comfortable and he objected so much that presently she told him, “All right, you can get your shirts

m Discusses 1 Sundry land Other Matters.

made and pay for the work.” It was agreed that he would pay for the making., He told his wife to get some good seamstress to make his shirts. She pretended to do so, and ever since she makes his shirts, unknown to him and charges him twenty-five oents a piece. He likes the fit so well that he often oompliments the woman who makes them and he has not complained about the fit since the new arrangement. Whioh shows that most men do not appreciate anything that comes too oheap.
