They speak well of Kansas and pronounce prohibition a success. Mr. E. W. Morris, of Jordan, dropped in to see us the other day. Mr. Morris that he has been, ** laid by the heels” by rheumatism for three or four months. Mr. E. P. Honan has struck a good job as a boss in the yards of the Northwestern railroad in Chicago. We are glad to hear it as Ed. is a good fellow as well as a notable “masher.” A professional gambler was in town for a few days lately. The .Rensselaer “boys ” were “no where” in playing with him, and it did not take them a great while to find it out either; but quite a number of them paid a few dollars for the knowledge, all the same.

“The matrimonial market has not been very lively lately. Licenses to marry have been issued to the following persons since our last reports: Wallace Robinson and Lilly A. Burk; Chas, W. Hames and Isabel C. Thompson; Amos Cadwallader and Mary A. Turner. R. S. Dwiggins will lecture at the Christian church next Sunday morning, on the subject—“Ther? i« but one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism; why are there so many creeds extant in the woyld?” “ Who is responsible for the existence of the creeds, the clergy or the laity?” Rose Lawn has a post-office, and is bound to make a town. We only wish that it were within the limits of Jasper county, where it rightfully belongs. In fact it would be an ■excellent thing for the people of Rose LaWn and of Lincoln township generally, if that township could be taken from Newton and given to Jasper.

Marshal .Chas. Platt' came near going to his long home one day last week. While working in the large ditch near the railroad, an old wonnd received in the army, in some manner broke open, and he bled nearly to death before medical aid could reach him. The physician who attended him is of the epinion that he must have lost not less than a gallon of blood. He is now able to be out again but is very weak. H. W. Snyder, of Remington, was In town this week looking after his legal business in the circuit court. “Harp” is an able lawyer, and a right good fellow—what there is of bin, —and there is plenty of him if you take him in the right way. He reports that Remington is very prosperous, this winter; and that nothing but the bad roads have prevented her from having a regular “boom”. All of which we are heartily glad to hear.
