The June number of the District Reporter, published at Battle Ground, by the Bev. J. H. Cisgel, D. D., comes to us considerably enlarged, and much improved typographically. The School Trustees of the town of Rensselear will choose their teachers, for the ensuing year, within the next few days. An additional primary department will be provided for. The Minstrel and Variety show given at the Opera House last evening, under the auspices of the “Comets base ball club, was an unqualified success in every particular. The attendance was large and the fun unlimited. It will lea re a handsome balance in the treasury of the club. Lucky Logansport.—The Insane Asylum Commission decided last Saturday to locate one of th? new insane asylums at Logansport and one at Richmond. The other goes to Evansville according to the provisions of the law. Logansport and Richmand make large donations of land for the asylums. We have received a copy of the premium list of the next Remington Fair. It will be held at the grounds of the Association at Remington, on August 28, 29, o 0 and 31st. The sum total of the cash premiums offered is §2OOO.

The Way of the Law.

The strongest illustration of the cheek of the profession that we have seen for some time was in the case of Phillips vs. Atkinson, tried in the Jasper Circuit court last week on a change. of venue from Benton Co., wherein certain attorneys obtained a judgement for Plaintiff in the sum of one hundred dollars, and then filed a lien on the same, for the full amount, by way of attorney’s fees, leaving the plaintiff to foot the expenses of the trial out of his own pocket.

A Raving Maniac.

A wretched mis-shpaen creature, who gave his name as Hugo HelIster, walked into Rensselaer, from Rose Lawn a week ago last Friday morning. He was intirely destitute of means and was given work for a few days in John Zimmerman’s Tailor shop. Although it was evident from the first that he was sorawhat cranky, he did not manifest any decided symptoms of insanity for several days. On last riday morning, howfever, he began to make threats against the lives of several persons, mostly children, and became so demonstrative that it was decided to place him in charge of the officers of 'the law. In the afternoon of the same day Squire Wood, and the following named citizens, as jurors, tried the question of his sanity and brought in a verdict of insane and dangerous to be at large. This verdict will render it necessary for him to remain in the care of the sheriff of the county until the October term of the circuit court. On Saturday morning he become so wild and demonstrative as to annoy the whole population, in the vicinity, of the with jail his shouting and singing.

I, 0.0. F. Election.—The regular semi-annual election of officers of Iroquois Lodge, 143, I. O. O. F. was held last Tuesday night. J antes T. Abbett wjis elected N. G.; D. 0. Warren, V. Steward, Sec’y; L. C. Grant, Treasurer. The installation ceremonies will take place next Tuesday evening, in the presence of the friends bf the members.

A Card.

Ina communication to the Remington News I gave in my opinion, the best method for temperance men of all parties to work in order to succeed in obtaining such legal restrictions as the best people desire. The Editor of the Sentinel alluded to it in a manner the facts would not warrant In later communications he has been mentioned in a tiuthful way, which he is pleased to term “abuse.’’ He goes out of his way to mis-represent my motive for being a Republican by saying lam snch because there is a Republican majority in Jasper county. I ind been a Republican from 1862 to 877 in the Democratic counties of Pulaski and Cass. The venom of his nature is manifest in the last issue of his paper when he promises the Republican to go for his (its) friend only in his role of a selfish, scheming, intriguing politician.” My political friends will relieve me of the charge of selfishness, as they know I have never demanded anything for what little I have done for Republicans, and Republicanism and further that I have stood by them and redeemed all promises to them. If he desires to know why I fill more than one position, at the present time, he is respectfully referred to the Board of County Commissioners, and the Board of Tewn Trustees. I am confident that it will not be very long until the young democrats of Jasper county, who wear white shirts and black their boots, will control the affairs of the party in this county, and if the Editor of the Sentinel wishes to march in the procession, he will have to brush up his office and give them value received for their money, as bnt few of them aro satisfied with the Sentinel, as it is, i. e. the worst looking sheet published in this congressional district. At present the Rensselaer side is enough to make a man ignorant if he depended upon it for information.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

Your correspondent has not been able to gather many stray items of news during the past week. The show came on the 12th as advertised, last Tuesday. After performing many wonderful acrobaticfeats, before a large and admiring audience, they folded their tents like the Arabs and noisily stole away. The delicate and airy witticisms of the clown were especially relished. Your compositor made an annoying mistake in setting up our last letter. “Children’s Day” was spoken of as a thing of the past, whenin reality, it was not observed until last Sunday, at least with the M. E. Church in this place. The floral decorations were the most elaborate ever seen in the village. The music, under the skillful leadership of Mrs. J. S. Sheffler, was beautiful and appropriate and exceedingly well rendered, while the exercises and recitations by the children of the Sunday School were worthy of the strict attention given by the large audience. It is perhaps not fair to make particular mention of one child but yet we must say that the recitation by Master Frank Peck was remarkably well spoken. The pastor, W. H. Vance make a short but pleasant address to the children, in the morning and at night Rev. J. B. Crowe of the Presbyterian church gave a short sermon replete with pathos and kindly feeling. Altogoi her it was a lovely day.

Mr. and Mrs. H. Whitman having become disgusted with Dakota, have returned, bag and baggage. They are at present the guests of Dr. Reigle, Mrs. Williams father but expect soon to go to Sheldon to make that place their permanent home. The “saloonatics” are finding out that Remington is not altogether in f avor of limited whiskey. Some of our citizens are in favor of law and order, neither of these can be maintained in a small town supplied with three or four well patronized drinking establishment, hence they will have to be made subservient to the public good by be: ng turned into more respectable places of business. The Burnt district will be rebuilt at an early day. The foundation for one building a meat market by Mr. Broadie, is already laid and the building will be pushed to a speedy completion. Mrs. Bott of Monticello, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Wells am other friends in this place. Corn is growing rapidly, (and weeds too.)

GILLAM ITEMS.

Still we have a shower once in a while. Mr. Sylvester Hilton is still numbered on the sick list. Rev. Falkner preached at the Chapel Sunday Junp 17th. 3p.m. Messrs. C. W. Faris and D. B. Coppess, have joined our social circles once more. Fanners have one consolation, it does not hurt their corn to walk over their fields; prospects for that grain are not very flattering. The Sabbath schools of Gillam are in a flourishing condition, as both old and young take an active part, which tends to lead to success. Mr. Thomas Robinson, of this township, is making new improvements by repairing his house. He has also put up a new wind pump. The grim monster, Death, has been among us once more, and taken away some that were young and fair. Miss Mattie Poise!) daughter of Mr. George

Jasper Circuit Court.

State Cases. 445 , State vs. Dennis P. O’Connor. Giving liquor to a minor, Indictment quashed. 446 Same vs. Same, Same charge. Mottion for a change of venue. Cause ooninued until October term, and defendant released on baU, 447 , Same vs. Same, Unlawful sale of intoxicating Uquor. Motion for change of venue. Cause continued until October term. 448 , State vs. Frank O’Connor. Giving away liquor to a minor. Cause continued to October. 487—, State vs. Michael Halloran. Selling liquor without a license. In the June term of the Commissioners court for last year, as readers of The Republican will remember, Michael HaUoran, the defendant in this case, made application for license to keep a saloon, and was refused by the commissioners. In the September term, of the same year, one Robert Dickson obtained a license to keep a saloon in HaUoran’s building. The saloon has been running since the granting of this license* The prosecution claim that Dickson has really nothing to do with the business, byt that Michael HaUoran is the real proprietor and keeper of the saloon. The case was tried by a jury and the verdict brought in of guilty, and the penalty fixed at a fine of S3O, and costs of the suit. The (defense applied for, and were granted, a new trial on the grounds of error in the instructions of the court.

This case, should it ultimately be decided against Mr. Halloran, will open the way for a vast number of similar prosecutions, sufficient, if pressed, to utterly ruin him, financially. Civil Cases. 3064—, O. C. Link vs. The Western Union Telegraph Company. Early in the Spring of this year Dr. Link received information to the effect that some one was trying to “jump” his homestead in Dakota. He sent a dispatch, inquiring about the circumstance, to Geo. Havens at Huron. The telegraph operators made a botch of Haven’s name and reported that the person addressed in the dispatch could not be found in Huron. Link went to Dakota and there found that had the dispatch been properly delivered, he would have been saved the trouble and expense of his journey. He has accordingly brought suit against the telegraph company. By agreement of the parties tne cause was continued. 3068—, John Kohler vs. Joshua L. Fatout and The School Town of Rensselaer. This case has grown out of a disagreement between Kohler and Fatout as to the number of bricks furnished by the former for the new school house. The cause was continued. 3072—, Samuel Phillips vs. Joseph Atkinson. Jacob Benedict, Straight & Wiley, and Thompson & Bro., for Plaintiff. Daniel Frazier, Walker & Phares, R. S. & Z. Dwiggins for Defendant.

This case came from Benton county on a change of venue. About foul* years agb the plaintiff, Phillips, closed a term of ten years service with the defendant, Atkinson. He now brought his suit, claiming that his labor for the ten years was worth a gross sum of $2400; or at the rate of S2O. per month, and conceding that he had received SIOO a year for the ten years, he asked the court for a judgement for the balance of SI4OO. Atkinson claimed that he had paidthe defendant all that his services were Worth and all that he had a right to expect. No book accounts had been kept by either party. The jury had hard work to agree un a verdict, but finally decided to award the plaintiff one hundred dollars, and assess the costs of the suit upon the defendant As will be seen from a notice elsewhere published, an adjourned session of the court will be held next month. None but civil cases will be tried.

U. B. Quarterly Meeting.— The members of the United Bretheien church will hold a quarterly meeting at Cosy Palace school house, Barkley tp., on Saturday July 7th, and a Basket Meeting on the Sunday following. Everybody is invited to bring their lunch baskets and take a part in the meetings.

Bloodless Bravery.—Acting in accordance with the customs of that community, a man stole a horse, last week, in Pulaski county, near Medaryville. A party of four pursued and captured man and horse near the Illinois state line. As the party was passing through Keener ip., in this county, last Wednesday, on their way home, the thief watched his chance, jumped from his horse and took to the brush and. swamps ata favorable point His captors opened fire upon him with a whole battery of shooting irons, and had their ammunition held out they would, undoubtedly, have lost so much time in firing that he would have got away altogether. As it was, however, after they could no longer get their guns to go, one of the longest legged and best winded of the lot, took after the fleeing thief and fairly run him down. It is in no way to the credit of these valorous marksmen to say that one of them treated the prisoner roughly after his recapture and even tried to strike him. The thief was taken to Winamac and lodged in jail, to await the course of what little justice they have in that neck of woods.
