The Governor’s message appears in full upon our inside pages this week. It is an excellent paper of its kind; the work of a true statesman aitfl a large minded man. .... JL^» Senator Frigidbase, as the Indianapolis Journal calls John H. Winterbotliam, has, it is stated, discovered the error of Ins ways and will not contest the seat of WH. Calkins in the 13th .district. From the Warsaw Herakl we learn that a meeting was held at Warsaw last Thursday, to organize a company to build a rail-road from Fayette, Ohio, through Warsaw, Winamac, and Rensselaer, to Gilman 111. The Warsaw people, judging from the tone of the Herald, feel very confident that tlie road will be built. Rather Cold. —Monday night Jan., Btli was one of the coldest of the season so far. The thermometers Tuesday morning registering, some of them, as low a twenty degrees below zero. These were in rather exposed places however, the general average of accounts of the temperature placing it at about 1G or Vi degrees below. From a marriage notice which appears in another place, it will be seen that Miss May Washburn, the doctor’s beautiful 'daughter who .went to California last fall for the benefit or her health, has, presumably, found not only health but happiness. The youthful bride has many friends in Jasper all of whom will wish her boundless good.

M. H. Walker, the prosecuting attorney, came over from Fowler last week to be -on hand for the trial of the criminal cases ih tk& Jasper Court, but is at present' suffering so severely from a prolonged attack of dyspepsia be almost intirely incapacitated 1 from attending to his official duties. Dan. Frasier or Fowler, and W. IV. Watson of this place are assisting him in the duties of prosecutor. No Mistake About it this time, —The L. N-A. & C. railway will, as may be seen from official notice which appears m another place, run a special to Chicago and return next Saturday, for the purpose qf giving people along the road a chance to see the celebrated Langtry at the matinee at Haverly’s theater at 2.80 p. m., Saturday afternoon. The fare for the round trip has been put at the extremely low rate of §I.BO. Tickets good tp return up to, and including, the night train, cr Monday evening Jan. 15.

Chas. E. Ooen, the new president of the Blue Ribbon society, is taking hold of the duties of his office with an energy afld an'intelligence .which leaves no room to doubt of his success. It not be expected, however, that either Mr. Coen, or anyone else, can make a more satisfactory record in the management of the society than has the retiring, president MP. Noble J. York. The Opera. —The Opera Belshazzar, frequent mention which has already been made in these columns, was given at the Opera House, last Friday evening to a large and delighted audience. The company had been thoroughly drilled by Prof. Burgett, and mF der his direction the opera was given in a very creditable manner. The leading and difficult parts of • Belshazzar and Daniel were especially well discharged.

The State Legislature: —Both houses ot the state legislature met and completed their organization Thursday, Jan. 4th. The officers of the house elected were as follows: Speaker, Hon. W. D. Bynum of Marion; principal clerk, Dr. S. W. Edwins, of Madison; assistant clerk, Willian A. Pelle, of Johnson; doorkeeper, Henry B. Frey; of Grant. These officers are of course all democrats. The republican votes of the house were cast for Hon. A. J. Wright, of Grant, for speaker; W. H. Hay, of Marion for clerk; W. J. Nichols, of Booue, for assistant; D. A. Roberts, of Jefferson for doorkeeper. Since our last issue we have learned that A. J. Kitt had no insurance on tlie Herald office destroyed by the fire of last week in Goodland. The citizens, however, went to work the day following the fire, and, by voluntary contribution, raised about five hundred dollars for the purchase of new presses, etc., most of the typo having been saved. Mr. Kitt is no vin Chicago making the purchase. The prompt manner in which the money was contributed is the best evidence of the high appreciation placed on ~tbe ability and services of Mr. Kitt by .his patrons, and we heartily congratulate him og his good fortune. —“Remington News.”

THE ROCHESTER HENS SELAER & St. LOUIS R. R. Co.

A meeting for the purpose of organizing a company to build a railroad from Rochester, Inch, to Gilman, 111., was held at theoffiice of Thompson Bros, last Saturday. The following bbard of Directors was elected: John Lee, and J. H. Pitney, of Rochester, John Toner of Kewanee, A. M. Ritchey, of Litclifie’d, 111., andM. L. Spitler and S. P. Thomjjson, of Rensselaer. The present purpose of the company is to construct a railroad from Rochester through YViiiamac, Rensselaer, and Newton county to Gilman, Iroquois, county, 111. The meeting was intirely harmonious; and all present were confident that the road was needed, and that it could, would and should, be built forthwith. A glance at the map of Indiana shows a wide traet of country between Rochester and Gilman, 111., which has no east and west rail-road, and there is hardlv a Question but that a V road between the two points would do an excellent business. At Rochester it would connect with the | new Chicago and Atlantic, otherwise the “Nickle Plate” for eastern points, and at Gilman, it would meet the Wabash, and two branches of the Illinois Central, thus i forming connections for all points i*u the West, Riid Southwest. Lt may be added tl tu there are now two organ wed ltrilroad companies

the object of each being to build a railroad from Gilman eastward through Rensselaer and Winamac. One company having Rochester as its eastern terminus, the other some point in northern Ohio. So far as the interests of Rensselaer are concerned, there would seem to be but little choice between the two lines and the company that can build the road soonest will be considered the best.

The Proposed Railroad.

Chicago is just now full of attractions for pleasure seekers, and those of our citizens who take in the cheap excursion next Saturday will have a wide latitude of choice as to- how they will pass their time in the city. At the matinee Saturday afternoon Mrs. Langtry appears Hardcastle, in Oliver classic and matchless “She Stoops to evening of the same day ind” in Shakespear’s pereuiiially popular pastoral comedy. “As you Like It.” To see either of these plays, well performed, is to mark a white spot in the memory forever. At McVicker’s theater this weolc “The Professor” is on the boards, and those wdio remain until Tr.esJay night can enjov the rare privilege of hearing the divine Patti and “Her. Majesty,s Opera Company ’ at the same place. According to the ‘lndianapolis Journal’track laying on the C. & G. S., Railroad was to have been begun last Tuesday. Next Saturday, tlie Regular night train on the L N A & C will | not leave Chicago until 12 o’clock, j thus giving the .excursionists of j that day, who desire to do so, plen- | ty of time to attend the theater. j Good enough:— On Tuesday, in , the 9th district, Charles T. Doxey, the Republican candidate, was elected to fill Mr. Orth’s unexpired term in Congress, bv a majority of 2,(D0 over his Democraticjoprjx.uent.
