Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 June 1883 — Another Train. [ARTICLE]

Another Train.

Last Monday the L., N-A. & C., company put a regular passenger and mail train upon the Air Line division, to run from Monon to Indianapolis. It leaves Monon at 5:55 a, m. and leaves Indianapolis at 4:30 p. m., making the run each way in about fiv6 hours. This train seems to have been put on mainly for the accommodation of local business between Monon and Indianapolis. At Monon, in the language of a well known railroad man, it does not make connections with anything or anybody except Ben Reynold’s liquor saloon. It is probable that another train will soon be added to accommodate through travel between Chicago and Indianapolis. ———l 1 - Don’t fail when in town to go to Purcupile’s to get your meals or lunches. — ■■■ A fine line of wall papers at Meyer’s drug store, that will be sold at low figures, to close. No question asked:— ‘-The party who took a pocket knife from the store of F. J.

The Temperance Meetings.— The temperance people of this place have not entirely lost their grip after all. A business meeting was held at the Court house last Saturday evening and measures inagu rated which will probably result in a revival of the meetings. There is a movement in favor of transferring the allegiance of the society here, from the Blue Ribbon organization to the State Temperance Union. The meetings will not, probably, be held oftener than once in two weeks during the hot weather. An election of officers will be held next week. The best mixed paint in the market, the Sherwin Williams, every package warranted. F. B. Meyer, agt.

In the North American Review for July, President Julius H. Seelye writes of “Dynamite as a Factor in Civilization,” taking of the subject the reassuring view that dynamitism being merely a symptom of present discontent, is necessarily a transient social phenomenon, which will quietly disappear as the institutions of government are brought more into harmony with the interests and aspirations of the masses of the people. In “The Last Days of the Rebellion” Lieutenant-General P. H. Sheridan recounts the operations of the cavalry divisions under his command during the week preceding the surrender of Lee, and offers a highly important contribution to the history of the late war. William S. Holman, M. C., makes a striking exhibit of “The Increase of Public Expenditures”, and insists upon the necessity of unceasing vigilance on the part of the people, lest the burdens of governmental administra tion become intolerable. “Democracy and Moral Progress,” by O. B. Frothingham, is a philosophic forecast of the probable outcome “government by the people themselves.” Z. R. Brockway, Superintendent of the Reformatory at Elmira, N. Y., points out some “Needed Reforms in Prison Management;” Thomas Sergeant Perry writes of “Science and the Imagination;” Geo. E. Waring, Jr., of “Sanitary DrainageElbridge T. Gerry of “Cruelty to Children;” and finally there is a Symposium on “Church Attendance”—the question whether the churches are growing to be less of a power for good now than in former times—the symposiasts being “A Non-Church-Goer”, Rev. Dr. Wm. Hayes Ward, Rev. Dr. Janies M. Pullman, and Rev. Dr. J. H. Rylance. Published at 30 Lafayette Place, New York.
