RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1882.

Judge Hammond convened ! Court Monday. * , W. A. Rinehart, of Delphi, spent Sunday in town. ,y Simon P. Thompson is attending' to legal business in Winamac. J*Born.—Monday, June 19, to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis S. Alter, a daughter. : .. : • . The new Democratic paper is a settled fact, according to reliable authority. Reports are again rife Bens- 1 selaer is to haye a wedding in j *‘high life.” '?) T. J. Farden returned from his Warren county visit Monday, looking hale and hearty, and as humorous as ever. S. L. Swain, who is now engaged in buying and selling cattle at the union stock yards, was in the city over Sunday. A" few weeks of dry, sunshiny weather would be thankfully received in this portion of Hoosierdom. Let us pray. Gfover Smith, of wood-chopper fame, is president of the day for the Rose Lawn celebration. Another “rebuke” to Simon P. Thompson. * - C. H. Noble, one of the proprietors of the Grand Detour plow works of Dixon, 111., was in the city on business connected with his firm, last week. 7 • - >l. John Makeever is getting the material on the ground preparatory for the erection of a business block near the northwest corner of Washington and Cullen streets. Charles W. Clifton has oeen home for a few days. He has bee made general agent for the Aetna Life Insurance Company for Southern Indiana, with headquarters at Indianapolis.

The St. Lawrence (D. T.) Tribune, which has been sent us by some of the old Jasper boys in that place, announces the arrival at that place of Mrs. W. B. Brice and W. D. Vant Woud and family. Judge Hammond presided over Judge Chase’s Court, at Logansport, last week. The Journal reports that he disposed of several important cases, and compliments the Judge on his decisions. The Democratic slate has been figured out. The convention will be merely a form. And still the unterrined howl “ring” at their opponents with a vehgeance. No ring there nor nothing. Eh ? The wheat fly has made its appearance m some fields of wheat in this vicinity, and is devastating whole fields. Surely at present the prospects are not bright for good crops in Jasper county this season. ~ The festival given by the K. of P., Friday evening, was a financial and social success. The ice-cream, strawberries, and cake were all of superior quality, as were also the beautiful and buxom young ladies who so politely attended to the wants of the crowd. w e understand the gross receipts were about SBO. Col. J. K. Speer, the DemoGroenbacker, made a regulation Greenback speech in the court house Saturday afternoon, and' delivered a religjo-political lecture, which showed him to be a gentleman of considerable information. Mr. Speer is a very pleasant gentleman. * Laßue & Crane, Millners and Dressmakers, Rensselaer, Ind. ii m m i Gillam township was represented in our town by Michael and Tlios. Robinson, H. W. Ballard and others wnose names we did not learn,, this week. They report .prospects for crops in that township as very favorable, .. • \ -

Dr. I. B. Washburn went overland to Onarga, 111., Tuesday.* John Shortridge and Dr. Robbins were down from Keener the first of the, week. ~4*»Guiteau will stretch Friday of next week, according to Judge Cox’s programme. He says the President will pardon him yet. The grading on the Chicago & Grejit Southern roact has been nearly, completed from Goodland to its junction with the Air Line, about eleven miles northwest of here. The road runs about nine miles west of Rensselaer. It will be completed before winter. — i a Rensselaer will celebrate the glorious fourth this year in grand style. Hon. W. D. Owens, editor of the Logansport Saturday Night, will deliver the oration. Other speakers will be present. Arrangements are being made fora display of fire-works* Various kinds of amusements wi}l be furnished. Hon. Mark L. De Motte tried to secure the passage of a bill in Congress appropriating SIOO,OOO for the removal of the stone obstruction from the bed of the Kankakee river at Momence. If this can be removed the stream can be navigated for a long distance, and a large strip of rich country redeemed to cultivation by drainage. The Republican county ticket has been received by Republicans throughout the county with perfect satisfaction. Net one word of fault has been said by; any man who can clearly be called a Republican. Of course, there has been considerable howling by nincumpoops who are interested in seeing certain men whom i* is reasonable to suppose the Democracy will nominate elected. Such men are not Republicans, and the sooner they flop over the better off the party will be. Tbe Sentinel intimates that those Democrats who are endeavoring to establish another Democratic pa per here, rightly belong in the Republican ranks. That would certainly make the unterrified company small here in Rensselaer, and would not even leave a particle of public pap for the old man! as it has been said that the Democratic officials will pledge the editor patronage controlled by them to the proposed paper. By the way, how is it that a Greenback auditor is so deeply interested in putting a new Democratic paper on foot?

A correspondent of the Kentland Gazette is putting some hard ques tions to Dr. Maxwell, regarding his oourse towards Dr. Hatch eight years ago, who was then the Republican nominee for the State Senate While we believe that Dr. Maxwell is at present a thorough Republican, and also a man of fine abilities, it will not be the proper to do for the Republicans to nominate him for Senator, unless we can unite all elements of the party. Indeed, it seems to us that none of the candidates so far mentioned are very available men, and there is a splendid opportunity for some not al/eady mentioned to fall in and take the place. Messrs Erjtorh: —For the Information of yonr Presbyterian readers, permit me to make a statement concerning the Presbyterian church four miles west of Lowell, Ind. The name of the ohurch is Lake Prairie. The people are willing to unite with Rensselaer in the support of a pastor, if arrangements satisfactory to all parties can be made. I'he people can probably ~my S4OO, and the use of the parsonage for an-acceptable man, providing the pastor should live m that congregation. The pulpit has been vacant for more than a year, and now has some4o communicants. When we remember the church has been so long without regular preaching, and that there is probably less wealth in that congregatioh than in the Presbyterian congregation of Rensselaer, $22.80, the amount of their contribution on last Sabbath a week ago to the board of Home Missions, is surely worthy of commendation, and is an evidence of their Christian intelligence. Should any one desire to open eorre«pondenoe with a view of uniting the two churches in one pastorate, they can addresa T. A. Mattou, TSsq., Lowell, Ind. Yoars Very Respectfully, A-Jail©*...

Don’t Read This Carelessly.

Do you know that F. J. Sears & Son have on hand the largest and most complete stock of Undertaking Goods in oonneotion with their mammoth stock of Furniture and Carpets that can be found in\the country. In our stock may be seen Metallic Caskets, whicn are no • kept by any other undertaker in tk« county. Draped and doth covered Caskets, Walnut, and all commonigoods, also white Caskets and Coffins for children, which are used in cities for burial purposes. We do not claim to be the oldest man in business in this town, but we claim to be the lea lers in all goods we handle. We were the first to introduce the late style goods in Rensselaer, such as are kept in large cities, and sell them at prices that common goods were sold at formerly. In burial robes we carry a full line all sizes at less prices than the material can be got here. We are prepared to do embalming, as we keep constantly on hand the anticeptic balm, and full set of instruments for that purpose, also several director and undertaker’s cabinets, a fine Hearse with large plate glass is kept for funer 1 occasions without extra charge. Our large undertaking room, sixe 20 by 40 Jbet, is kept separate from our furniture, and is filled with fine And common goods ranging in price from $2.50 to S2OO each. Parties needing anything in that linfe it will be to their interest to call and examine for themselves- We are leaders in goods that we carry and our prices as low as the lowest. Honorable competition is healthy for all parties. 1 We have no agents nor solicitors for our undertaking department but we will attend to all orders promptly day or nignt, and can always be found at our store or residence. *. -

UNION ITEMS .

Farmers most all planting corn. We are having an excess of rain. Many low farms will produce no corn. We need more tile drains to protect us against such floods. Wheat has been damaged on low ground, vet we think there will he more raised in the county than last year. Our schools have all closed but two, and they will soon close. Jacob Troxel and Nathaniel Chupp have been appointed load mußt rs. Some of our citizens are kicking against the new dog law, and refuse to tag their dogs. The new vaccination law has been forgotten and is among the things of the past We think many parties have failed to make prompt reports to the board of health. We think also that the proper authorities should look after this matter. Wlut are laws for if they are to be obeyed? If they are wrong let. us repeal them, and if they are; right, just, and proper let us obey them, as true Americans should, with a clear conscience and a willing mind.

Southern Antidote for Malaria

It should be gcurally known tint Simmons Liver Regulator is relied upon to secure to the people immunity trom all imtlurial disorders.

Huff, of Loganspqrt, wha was attending the Jasper Circuit Court this week, pronounces our “coal oil” well to be equal in medicinal properties to the famous White Sulphur Springs of Virginia. The Judge believes, and there are plenty others who wiil agree with him, that if the proper > use was made of the well that Rensselaer might be made a popular summer resort. “Enough people might be easily brought here every summer to fill four hotels the size of the Makeever house.” Why can’t some of our altogether too conservative capitalists be induced to stop shaving notes and foreclosing mortgages long enough to pay a little attention to enterprises which will be of some benefit to the community as well as to themselves?.
