RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1882.

The public schools of Rensselaer will close Thursday, June Bth, a. d. 1882. We have had a light frost or two lately, but we think the fruit crop is all solid yet. mi + m* mm Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Duck, of Salem, 0., are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Emmet Kannal, of this place. Dr. M. B. Alter is in Indianapolis attending the annnal session of the state grand lodge of Odd Fellows. Miss Mollie Babcock intends going to Plymouth, this state, shortly, for a stay of several months. Prof. Hooper has our thanks for a fine lot of rhubarb raised in his own garden. He marketed some of the fruit six weeks ago. W. W. Watt on, our efficient deputy prosecutor, was over to Kentlend, very, very e*»rly in the week. Went over there to coart we suppose.

S. P. Thompson visited Fowler last week, he reports political matters in Benton county to be absolutely in a state of volcanic eruption. n» i W. B. Price Jr., departed for St. Lawrence Dakota, with his livery stable outfit, last Friday night. Mrs, Price will follow him next Monday. R. A. Connor, of the Kentland Gazette has been appointed a mailroute agent .between Cincinnati and Chicago, over the I. C. St. L & C. R. R. Mrs.A. Purcnpile andherdaughter Lizzie have returned to Rensselaer, intending as we are informed to make quite a protracted visit to their friends here. We chronicle with regret the fact that the genial Tom Farden has betaken himself to the wildernes of Pine Village, not expecting to return for several months. We neglected to mention last week that John and William Eger haVe purchased the property of W. H. Rhoades, now occupied by W. T. Hamar, as a jewelry store, and will at once rebuild it and put in a large stock of groceries. The boys have plenty of “backing” and will make a strong team.

The numbers which drew the unclaimed prizes at Kannal’s donation, as handed to us and published last week, were incorrect, 8363 is good for the lamp, and 7141 drew the clock, and if you have either ot those numbers please make it manifest in a rather previous period of time or you will be left. Our Jordan township fellowcitizens believe m asking for what they want whether they get it or not. Mr. J. V. Dutton, of that township, has just forwarded to President Arthur, a very comprehensive document, in the form of a petition which requests the president, Ist, that he will pardon Sergeant Mason, with Betty and baby; 2nd that he will not pardon Charles J. Guiteau for the enormous Ac. 3rd, that he will not put Gen. Grant on the retired list with an allowance of SIO,OOO per year. We understand the good people of Jordan squandered thenautographs upon the petition-with: a-great deal of libfcralityx-'.

Decoration day. —A meeting of the citizens will be held next Monday afternoon, at four o’clock, to organize for the proper observance of Memorial Day. Hiram Day, the brisk citizen who bought a lot, and built and occupied a comfortable house in such a phenominally short time last fall, is erecting a more pretentious domcile this spring. .w D. L. Bishopp, of Kentl&nd, the popular prosecuting attorney, of this district, struck Ratsselaer Monday evening. We suppose to use the popular political parlance of the period, that he conies for the purpose of Dutting his fences in order. Messrs. Emmet Kannal and F. B. Meyer, attended the Indiana State Pharmacentical Association last week, and were much pleased with the work of the association. Mr. Kannal teas honored by the appointment of delegate tj the National Association which meets at Niagara in August. • The new passenger train was put on the L. N. A & C. road last Monday as was previously announced. It will be of great convenience for Rensselaer people wishing to go Chicago. It passes Rensselaer going north at about a quarter past five in the morning, and returns at About half past eleven in the evening, thus giving a full day in Chicago. ""our long tune-friend, George M„ Robinson, of Rensselaer, wilT make the race for County Auditor. After serving two terms as S heriff of Jasper county, it is useless to call the attention of the voters in his direction. Mr. Robinson is probably personally acquainted with nine-tenths of the inhabitants of the entire county, and if nominated, wo predict that he will lead the balance of the republic n ticket at the November election.—Remington News. . «§» ' W. H. Rhoades was on Mondt y brought befoie Justice Wood charged with the disgraceful offence of wife-beating. In the absence of the deputy prosecutor', F. W. Babcock conducted the prosecution. The defendant entered a plea of guilty, and the court, after taking a few hours to reflect upon the matter, assessed agiinst the defendant the full penalty of the law. A fine of $25 and the costs of the suit. Mr. Rhoades, we are assured feels keenly the disgrace this act has brought upon himself. And in the hope that he may profit by the lesson he has received, we refrain from further comment on this lamentable affair.

Marriage Licenses.

Marriage licenses issued since our last report: William F. Limber, Delila JJ Hardesty; Malachi P. Connor, Mary J. Ganiott; Ellis E. Johnson, Rachel E.- Swain, Henry Cobb, Annie Gundy: Frank H. Goodrich, Clara Bullis; Edward P. Honan, MadgeJHemphill; Lewis Stowers,Mary Louisa Price; Frank W. Nicholson, Eva Spangler.

Cheap Money.

We are now prepared to make f r.rro loans at six per cent interest. These loans run for five years, but the borrower hae the option to pay part or all of his r-4tjr-» n«-

Dakota, the Can§an of this year's exodusters, was recently visited by a party from Rensselaer, as most of the readers of The Republican will probably remember. Among that Tittle band of verdant riooesiers, and, in fact, acting as the Moses of the party, was one of the editors of this paper. With them also was a couple of alleged jokers, and although, out of regard for the feelings of their friends, we suppress their names, we may say that their initials are Charles H. Price and Louis Kern. These young men neglected to sleep nights, so busy were they in racking their so-called brains for some scheme by which they might trick their fellow pilgrims. But owing to the wariness of their intended victims and their own want of originality,all their efforts resulted in nothing more brilliant than the theft of 4 bottle or two of'bugjuioe” with which some of the unnecessarily apprehensive Hoo Biers were doctoring themselves beforehand for anticipated snake bite 3. And as the medicine aforesaid was never returned to its rightful owners the taking of that may not have been originally conceived as a joke, although passed off as such when its loss became known, and its restoration impossible. Finally at Watertown our jocular citizens fell in with a correspondent of a Yankton paper, and with his assistance they trumped up ! (for them) a tolerably good story. ;at the expense of The Republican man, and as we wish to encourage (desperately) struggling talent we give it the benefit of our columns, quoting from the Democratic Sentinel the extract below given from the Yankton “Press and Dakc. tian,” together with the Sentinel’s remarks upon the same, only taking time to remark that whatever the Teutonic damsel may have been “holding down” with her two hundred and fifty pounds of avoirdupois, or however warm the alleged conversation may have waxed, the Yankton man could have known nothing about the circumstances from personal observation, as lie asserts, inasmuch as he was not even aboard the train on which the “company of Hoosiers” traveled west from Tracy. Democratic Sentinel: A spe-

cial correspondent of the “Press and Dnlfotian,” Yankton, writes up a weeks observation—“ What we saw du ring a week's ramble along the W, & St. P. R. R..,” etc. —from which we clip the following parajgraph referring to a prominent citizen of Rensselaer. West of Tracy;- in the afternoon, we fell in with a company of Hoosiers who were going to Dakcta to “shoot tre* claims,’’ as they put it. The car was crowded and a fellow was mighty lucky to get even half a seat. In front of us and right near the stove,sat one of the Hoosiers— G. E. Marshall, editor of- a paper at Rensselaer, Indiana. By his side sat 'a two hundred and fifty pound German girl, who Was holdling down a homestead neat Goodwin. Above the din and rattle of the train we caught-bits of < their conversation/,which ' was in -substance that he was looking for a lady with deeded property. It was about the warmest * conversation we have- heard for some time. Marshall happens to be a bachelor buck- fulLof serious intentions.

Thb Republican moves thi»* week. Opposite Halloran’s livery stable, Call and see us. That altogether alive young man, H. W. Snyder Esq., of Remington, was in town Tuesday looking hale, hearty, and prosperous. • Nick Clever, whose oondact usually justifies his name, has one* of his eyes dressed m mourning. When asked how his optic came to • be decorated in that manner ho ' says that it’s all right; Ids jgKmth was too sharp. * The pressure of farm work will probably compel Mr. Taylor to Postpone the proposed meetings at Meadow Lake, including 3rd and 4th Sabbaths of May. Mr. Taylor ' will probaly preach in Rensselaer' Mav 28th, ana the morning theme ' will be: The Source, Importance, Power and Dangers of Wealth. Some of our Democratic friends - am showing much zeal in the Republican Cause. At least they are working hard to moke up u ticket for us. Why would it not be a good scheme for the cans to allow those disinterested and self-sacrificing patriots to take charge of that work; and so save republicans the trouble? Every republican voter in thfl * county owes to his party, and to the cause of good government, the duty of attending Hie primary election, on Thursday, June first. No pressure of private business should be allowed to prevent the discharge of this duty. Attend* the primaries and help select an• invincible ticket. Help to guard again stand defeat this schemes by which our opponents ere hopihg hv * foist weak and unpopular candidates upon oar party.
