We Lead Others Follow High Grade Goods at Medium Class Prices. THE STRONGEST Proof of this was shown during our Opening, March 13th and 14th when the people agreed with us that we showed the Largest Line and Highest Grade ever shown in Jasper •County or adjoining Counties. I have come to stay, commenced to build up a business that is permanent, and in order to do so must sell High Grade Goods at the Right and Living prices.

The Rensselaer Feed Store.

Began the sale of hominy meal in September, 1001. In the community it was a pew feed and had to be introduced. However, progressive farmers were willing to give it a trial and those who at first took a few sacks fall fa try, now haul it off by the ton, and in 18 months from the beginning of its sale we have sold over 10 car loads, averaging 20 tons to the car or 200 tons in all, at an average price of $25 per ton, making a total of |5,000 worth sold here. To some this may seem like a large amount, but in many localities where it is known, many times this amount has been sold in the same length of time. Hominy meal is made from the best grade of white corn and is principally the heart of same and contains double the amount of oil or fat found in ground corn. The following certificate of anylsis accompanifflTeaoh car load we receive: HOMINY MEAL ANALYSIS. Decatur, 111., Feb. 2, 1903. This is to certify, That Big 4 Car No. 9366 shipped to A. L. Branch contains 50,030 lbs. of Bulk Hominy Meal loaded this and day of February, 1903. According to chemical anylsis this Hominy Meal contains: Moisture 8 per cent; fat 9.63 per cent: proteui 12.34 per cent. The chemist’s report states that the ingredients determined and given in above analysis are present in normal quantities. The license laws of the state of New York and New Jersey have been complied with. American Hominy Co. W. L. Shellabarger, Secy. TESTIMONIALS. Rensselaer, Ind., Jan. 1, 1903. To whom it may concern: I have fed over twenty tons of hominy meal to fattening hogs and find they fatten very rapidly on it. I have thoroughly tested it as a hog feed on a drove of large hogs. I made a net gain of 55 pounds in 55 days, an average of 33 pounds per day. I can recommend hominy meal as an excellent feed for hogs. Jay W. Stockton. Rensselaer, Ind#, Jan. 22, 1903. A. L. Branch, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: I have been feeding your hominy meal to my hogs and find it far superior to corn for fattening purposes. It is also cheaper because a hog will put on flesh much faster on the same weight of feed than on corn. I advise any one desiring to finish off his hogs in a hurry to feed hominy meal. J. F. Meader. R. F. D. No. 2. A. L. Branch: • I have fed hominy meal to hogs and think it is the best and most economical feed I ever fed. W. H. Beaver. I have fed hominy meal and I find hogs fatten rapidly upon it. I can recommend it as a good feed. R. J. Yeoman. I am feeding hominy meal and bran—three parts meal and one part bran—to my dairy cows and find they give more milk and keep in better flesh than on any other feed I have ever found. I can recommend it as an excellent feed.

What’s in a Name?

Everything is in the name when it comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. 0. DeWitt & Co., of Chicago, discovered some years ago, how to make a salve from Witch Hazel that is a specific for Piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, eczema, cuts, burns, bruises and all skin diseases, DeWitt’s Salve has no equal. This has given rise to numerous worthless counterfeits. Ask for DeWitt’s—the genuine. Long’s Drug Store.

Items of Interest 6athered From All Parts of the State. The old Masonic cemetery at Huntington, abandoned more than thirty years ago, is being vacated. Over fifty bodies have been taken up, and four of them were almost entirely petrified. In some instances the clothing was so well preserved that it was possible to identify the bodies by stripes in the clothing. The order from the Board of Health of Terre Haute to exclude pupils from the schools who have no physician’s certificate of vaccination or oannot show a scar of a comparatively recent and satisfactory vaccination caused general demoralization of the schools. The repeated requests of the board for vaccination have not been heeded, and many pupils will have to be vaccinated. Mrs. U. F. Towneend, 81, of Walker, ton, is the granddaughter of John Holdridge, who fought in the war of the revolution. Holdridge lived to be 93 years old, and died in 1833. Mrs. Townsend remembers her grandfather well* having been 11 years old at the time of his death. As a child, she used to listen to the tales of the winter at Valley Forge, the crossing of the Delaware, and many other stirring events of revolutionary times. The shooting of one schoolboy by another last week in South Kokomo was followed by an investigation by Superintendent R. A. Ogg and boys were searched for weapons in all the schools. In the Fourth ward Principal Barngrover found pistols on nearly 100 boys. The result was the same at other schools. These weapons were sold as toys by the dealers, but they shoot regular 22-caliber cartridges and kill at close range. Superintendent of Police Taylor pronounced the pistols “deadly weapons” and there was a wholesale confiscation of them.

For the first time in many months the saloon business at Muncie was pulled up short Sunday. Private detectives arrested one saloon keeper when word of it spread to other places, and the doors were* soon locked. It is not known who is behind the movement. Foreign brewing firms have begun warfare against the Muncie Brewing Company, which has not yet placed its produot on the market, offering unusual inducements to local dealers to handle only foreign beer. The Muncie company will furnish ice to dealers without cost. A letter containing a certificate for f6OO has reached Mary Hankins, a domestic In the family of Edward Oglesbay at Rushville. The amount was left to her by Will H. Scott, a soldier in the regular army. Miss Hankins says Scott was her sweetheart when she was a young girl at Madison, this state. Scott enlisted in the regular army about two years ago, and went to the Philippines. After his return he was stationed at Ft. Meade, S. D„ and his skull was crushed by being thrown from a horse during a drill on February 1. He directed a comrade to send the cer-

tiflcate to his sweetheart after he died. J. 0. Daugherty, a ohicken fancier of Charleston, had 400 eggs in an incubator in a room adjoining a local newspaper office. When the eggs did not hatch on time, Daugherty investigated and found that the operation of a cylinder printing press in the newspaper offioe gave the eggs suoh a shaking up that they will never produce ohickens. Daugherty has fitted the incubator with springs to overcome the jars from the printing press and will immediately load the incubator with eggs for another trial. When Daugherty found what the trouble was, he said: “Now, wouldn’t that jar you?” Edward Good, crushed between two cars at Terre Haute, a few days ago, was from Kokomo, and had been employed on the Vandalla railroad for three weeks. When a youth Good promised his mother that while she lived he would not work on a railroad train, although he had been employed in a roundhouse. He kept his promise for fifteen years. His mother died five weeks ago, and the son went to her funeral, at Terre Haute. He concluded that his promise to her was no longer binding, and he secured a place on a Vandalia freight train, when he was killed. He was buried by the side of his mother.

The American Tobacco Company has introduced music in its factory at Evansville. Every afternoon, from 2 to 3 a musician visits the factory and renders popular airs. He is paid a regular salary for his work. The latest songs are typewritten and each girl in the factory gets a copy, so she can familiarize herself with the words. During the music hour the girls have the liberty to do as they please. Superintendent Mullen says he believes the girls do more work and do it better by having an hour each day for music and exercise. There are about 400 girls in the factory. Superintendent Mullen states it is the intention of the company to introduce music in all its factories in the United States.

“Not long ago,” said Grave-digger Warren, of this city, “while my son John and I were filling a grave in Oak Grove cemetery, there happened a very strange incident. We were filling a new grave into which a body had just been placed. The casket was put in a brick walled box and on top of it was placed a three inch slab. We were instructed to put a foot of dirt upon the slab and then tamp it, and continue that way until it was completely filled. I had just finished the first layer and John was tamping the second foot of earth, when slowly and easily the stone slab with the two feet of earth and John, he weighing 200 pounds, were raised to the level of the grave, and then it all settled down upon the brick wall again, not even breaking the slab. We never made an investigation of the strange affair, consequently we cannot say what caused the disturbance.” - —Peru Journal.

Frankie Newcomb.

Frankie Newcomb, the 5 year old aon of Mr. and Mrs. John Newcomb, who died with cancer of the bladder at St. Margaret’s hospital Wednesday February 4, 1903, was brought here from Hammond, Ind., Thursday evening. The remains upon arriving here were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Bauer, from which place services were held the following day by Rev. F. Jos. Bilstein, pastor of St. Ann’s church in this place. After a short service tho little fellow was laid at rest beside Grandma Bauer, who in life the child dearly loved. The child was an exceptionally bright one, and was loved by all who knew him. The parents have the sympathy of a large circle of friends, in the loss of their dear one. Frankie was born at Monterey, Ind., Nov. 1, 1897, and was 5 years, 3 months and 3 days old. Dr. O. W. Campbell, of Hammond, formerly of this place, attended the child during his illness, and did everything possible for the little sufferer, but the disease was of such a nature that a cure could not be effected.—Monterey Sun.

A Missouri paper tells of a man named Jones, a new comer, having deposited SIOO in the preacher’s salary box one Sunday recently. The preacher asked why he had been bo generous and he said he had just engaged in business in the town and he wanted to help along the cause. Then the preacher announced that he would surely patronize Mr. Jones and asked all the congregation who would do likewise to stand up. The whole congregation arose and then the preacher asked Mr. Jones what his business was and he replied, “I am a saloon keeper.” This paper and The Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean $1.40 for one year. “Special deal.”

AGAINST THE PETITIONERS.

Supreme Court Decides In Favor of County In Iroquois Ditch Case. The supreme oourt last Friday affirmed the decision of the lower court in the Iroquois ditch case. This was a case in whioh the county advanced 93640.70 as preliminary expenses toward the construction of the Iroquois ditch petitioned for by the defendants. After this sum had been paid out by the county the project was abandoned. Later the county brought suit against the petitioners to recover the amount paid out. The lower court gave a judgment for the above amount. The defendants appealed the case to the supreme court, with the above result. With interest and costs the judgment will amount to about $4,000. Originally there were sixty-one petitioners, but owing to various causes about thirty of the petitioners will have to pay the judgment. A similar case is that of the Wakarusa ditch. In this case the county paid out 93089.68, but a temporary injunction was granted by the court restraining the commissioners from bringing suit to recover the amount until the Iroquois case was decided. The injunotion a has not been dissolved but probably will be since the above decision of the supreme court. In the Iroquois case the petitioners will have to pay about 9136 each and in the Wakarusa about 9200 each.

A Special Meeting.

The county commissioners held a special meeting Monday to take aotion in the matter of a bridge across the Kankakee marsh between DeMotte and Hebron. The ice reoently carried away 160 feet of the bridge, entirely blocking the only highway across the Kankakee river between Baums’ bridge and Water Valley, a distance of 20 miles. It is estimated that the necessary repairs will cost fBOO. The comissioners found that there is no appropriation available for such repairs at the present time. To avoid delay, however, the trustee of Keener township was authorized to purchase material and employ such labor as is neoessary to repair the bridge at the earliest practicable date, the cost in excess of f 75 to be paid by the county when an appropriation shall bave been made.
