Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 21, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 February 1883 — The Amendments killed. [ARTICLE]

The Amendments killed.

From a circular which appears in this issue it will be seen that Dr. 1.8. Washburn now fills the position of Health Officer of Jasper county. He has resigned his position as a member of the town council.

In the State Senare Monday the proposed constitutional amendments were killed beyond the hope of resurrection. By a vote ,of 25 to 23, they were declared invalid on Account of defective enrollment. Eighteen Republicans and live Democrats voted in. favor of the amendments, and twenty-two Democrats and three Republicans voted against them. Senator Hoover, we are glad to say, voted with the Republicans. The Swedish Lady Quartette and Miss Eda Eliel have given entertainments in the principal cities all over the countrv, and have reeeived numberless commendatory notices from the leading, papers of those cities. In the one city of Chicago they received favorable mention from the following well known papers: The “Tribune,” “Times”, “Evening Journal”, “Chicago Herald”, and “The Chicago Citizen”.

We believe this will be a really lirst class entertainment; and that it ought to receive the liberal patronage of our people. The Goodland Herald, after a suspension of about four weeks, like the fabled Phoenix fropa its ashes, again bobs up serenely, and we are glad to welcome it once mqre/to our exchange table. Bro. lvjtt is a good newspaper man. The people cf Goodland appreciate tiiat fpct and have usecf him right white since his misfortune. Bro. kitt keenly feels the kindness of his friends and his enthusiasm, thereupon, borders close upon misbiness, but not more so, pvobaly, than would be the case with any of us, under the same circumstances.
