THE REPUBLICAN

b There is to be a grand Sunday School convention and pic-nic at Morocco, Saturday Aug., 11th. The usual motion for a new trial was made in Orth Stien’s case, but was decided against him last Friday, on which day he was formally sentenced to the penetentiary for twenty-five years. * A “Patrons and Farmers” fair will be held in Washington tp., Newton county for three days beginning August 28th. Mrs. Helen \l. Gougar is announced to lecture there on the last day, the 30th. Wadena is the name of a new station on the Chicago and Great Southern railway, at the center of Union tp., in -Benton county. A nost-office has been established with Mrs. E. M. Lenox, post-mis-tivss. • • ■'.• v - The Other Teacher. —At a meeting of the School Board Tuesday morning the resignation of Miss Paris was accepted and Mrs. Eva Kirsch of Crawfordsville, was chosen to fill the place. Mrs. Kirsch has had nine years experience in teaching and is undoubtedly thoroughly qualified for the position. Sells Bros’ show had an imni/nse crowd, at Rensselaer, Wednesday, and was generally proi jounced very good. The business /i imagers were gentlemanly and . fair in their dealings. A number swindlers are following the /show, and they “fleeced” the usual / number of innocents. —“Remington News.”

The Republican is glad to welcome Mr. N. V. Cleaver and his family as permanent residents of Rensselaer. He this week took possession of his newly purchased hardware store, as will be seen by reference to the advertising col-* umns of this paper. Mr. Cleaver wRI occupy the residence of the late Mrs. Tharp, on Front street. His family consists only of himself, two daughters and a son. 'The first collision occured on the 0. &G. S. R. R., near the C. *L. & C. crossing, Thursday morning, about 5:30 o’clock. No. 4 was hacking over to Oxford to get some cars and excursionists for Fair Oaks, bound for the Monon Presidential boom,, and collided with No. 30 near the crossing. No. 4 was badly demolished, the tender, cab and pilot being knocked to pieces. Neither engine was thrown from the track and nobody was hurt; but the accident spoiled the excursion, —“Goodland Herild,”

The “North Judson Cyclone” is the latest born candidate for journalistic wealth and fame (more fame than wealth, and mighty little fame.) Despite its portentions appellation we think it will not be likely to raise anything more than an ordinarily mild breeze in the world of journalism. In fact we venture, to the publishers, the suggestion that “Gentle Zephyr” would be a much more appropriate name for a country newspaper than the one he has chosen. The Cyclone is a very creditable little, paper, however, and we are glad to place it upon our exchange list. Genuine Willow and Ash base ball bats, at Kannal’s. A complete line of knitting and embroidery silks at Hemphill & Honan’s. Pure Cider Vinegar at 20c a gallon, at Willis’ Gun Shop, Or 7 gallons for one dollar. New! Beautiful!! Sweetl!! Prof. Henri Levino has fitted up the room on “Washington street formerly occupied by Legg’s Restaurant, as an Art and Music store, and has connected therewith a caiujy manufactury, where will be made, fresh, every day, pure French candies. He also makes sign, ornamental and portrait painting a specialty. Look into the new Art Studio. White Bronze Monuments and Statuary, manufactured by the Detroit Bronze Co., of Detroit, Mich., are works of beauty. This work will not crack, crumble or become moss-grown, but is guaranteed to retain its original beauty, and is cheaper than any other monumental material. W. H. Hoffman, Agt. tor Jasper county.

Do you want to bny an Organ?

If you do, you can save money by calling on B. P. Benjamin, be will sell you a first class instrument for, from 10‘to 25 dollars cheaper than any other man in the county. Why is he able to do this did you ask ? The reason is plain enough. He is the only man in the county who buys in sufficient quantities, direct from factories, to secure bottom prices. * Call upon him before you buy and demonstrate the truthfulness of this statement.

Delinquent Tax-Payers

Will find it to their interest to pay their tax before the collectors start out, for that will add cost that will have to be paid by the parties owing tax. —A hint to the wise is ■sufficient. M.B. ALTER, Treas.

The Womans Board of Foreign Missions occupied the evening hour at the M. E. church last Sunday. They gave an interesting series of exercises to a large audience.

Railroad. Items.

The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago people attribute the handsome increase in their net earnings thus far this year, over those of last year, to an increased local traffic and a more economical management. The Chicago & Indianapolis Airline gathered up along the whole line 210 passengers for Monon, on Thursday, who went to see President Arthur, while at a few local stations 302 were picked up to attend Sells' circus at Frankfort the same day.—lndianapolis Journal. To protect themselves against dishonest passenger conductors, if there are any on the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago system, the management will hereafter enforce the rule that a passenger shall pay ten cents extra when he does not purchase a ticket before boarding the train, and that the conductor shall then give- the passenger a check, which will, redeem the money if presented at any ticket office within ten days. The Chicago, & Western Indiana. Rail-road Company, of which the L., N-A. & C. road is a joint owner, and’ over the tracks of which it enters Chicago, has been trying for years to secure the righ of way for its tracks to Van Buren, street, Chicago, but has arrived at a/compromise with the city and the property owners by which it will locate its permanent depots at Polk street, 1600 feet south of. Van Buren.

Model classes will be taughtin Primary Reading, Arith.. and Language, and the methods used, fully discussed. The regular teachers’ examination will be held on the last Saturday in August. Also a special examination on the Saturday after the institute. It is designed to make the Ins titute a school in which each member will not only.review the subject taught, but will make a careful study of the method involved. Subjects of general interest to the county —graduation, Township institutes, etc., will be discussed. Every, teacher should bring such text-books as he has and be provided with “scratch book” and pencil. The work will be »uch as is needed every day in our common schools, and let no one who is a teacher or who expects to-. become such, fail to attend. Come both weeks, and-have an interesting and profitable time. Very Respectfully, D. M. NELSON, Co. Supt. Ayers Ague Cure never fails- to cureFe ver and .Ague, and all malarial disorders. Warranted.

C, Ay Eli & Go., Gentlemen: Last winter 1 was troubled with a most uncomfortable itching humor affecting more especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night, anil burned so. intensely, that 1 could scarcely bear any clothing over them. I was also a sufferer from st severe and catarrhal cough; my appetite was poor, and my system a good deal rail down. Knowing the value of Ayer’s Saiisapabiij.a, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years, 1 began taking it for tlie above-named disorders. My appetite improved almost from, the first dose After a short time the fever and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of- the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough wore also cured by the sama means, ami my geiie’»l health greatly improved,..until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute, these results, to. the use of the SAUSAPAIIir.LA,. which I necommend with all confidence ■ as firs best blood medicine ever devised.
