The Ladles* Literary Society will meet, at the residence of Sirs. R. S. i)wiggirarMay 8:h, IBS4, to execute the following programme: Subject Men of the Legal Profession of Indiana. Mu5ic....... .........Mrs. Belle Kerr. J. E. McDonald Miss Rpsa Eaker. Col. Idick Dell; rf..'sli::-> T.izzie Purcupile Gen. Ben Harrison.. Mrs. li. S. Dwiggins. Ccl. R M% Thompson 3h-i. A. PurcuptteT Music... Mrs. Slay Thompson. Sirs. S. XTHsnkiv &e<?yl Senator Jacob Reiser, of Winamac, was in attendance at tlie convention. He has been quite generall y urged to 'become a candidate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, and has decided to make the canvass. He is a German, was a lieutenant iu„ the late war, and for several years published the Winamac Republican. Fie was elected State senator in 1880 for the countiesofWLu te, Carroll and Pulaski, and is the first Republican that ever carried that district. He is geographically advantageously situated and promises to make a vigorous canvass for the nomination .-[lndianapolis Journal. Mr. Keiser is well known and well regarded in Jasper county, and as lie has really decided to try for the nomination for Secretary, we doubt not ne will receive the hearty support of the Jasper county delegation, in the state convention.

Tint enormous and palpable fraud “The, Peoples’ Railway Company of America” which originated in Indianapolis last J u ne, was removed to Chicago a few months after and still later to San Francisco, upon the verg e of dissolunou, judging from an exhaustive articlo from the San Francisco Chronicle of April 21st, and republished in the Indianapolis Journal of last Monday. Erni Kennedy was the originator of the scheme and has had absolute control from the first. The Chronicle .fully exposes the devious ways of Kennedy and con* eludes with the following paragraph: d At present the visible assets of the company cousists of Kennedy, a large safe, two sofas, three parlor chairs, two desks, eighty yards of carpet and a lot of worthless printing, papers and maps, which the Fenced subscribers may dis- " tribute among themselves if they appear japon the scene with “{fie necessary celerity.

Au extensive article in the Temperance Column, this week, from the New York Tribune, is deserving of the most careful reading. It is powerfully written, and, in most particulars at least, not oyerdrawn.' In this connection, the following from- the Chicago Tribune has onr hearty endorsement: Lk-uor-selling is a lawful business at common law, where” there are no-statutes or ordinances governin'' or prohibiting it A license law confers no permiasiou or privilege, bat lie:its, and regulates, and restrains * privilege already existing from time immemorial.

The Two Candidates.

There are now two candidates for the office of town Marshal before the voters of Rensselaer, Joseph Clark and Charles Piatt. We shall now take tf>3 liberty to give, in as concise a manner as possible a few of tlie reasons why we believe that the republicans of the town should - support Mr. Clark. He is in every way well qualified for the position, and there is no reason to doubt that he will make an excellent officer. He is the regular nominee of The party, nominated in the fairest manner, in a largely attended open convention, of the voters of the party.' He has never asked for, or received, any political favor although eminently deserving of the good will of the Republican party. His record as a soluer entitles him to the favor of his fellow citizens. In 1883, when but seventeen years of age, he joined a veteran regiment, the 72nd Indiana mounted infantry, and from that time saw the hardest kind of service, until the close of the war. His opponent, Mr. Platt, although he, too, has deserved well of his countrymen, for brave service in the army, has already been mumticiently rewarded. He has served two terms as county sheriff, one term as ( county Tieasurer and two terms as town Marshal. He has long been the recipient of a generous pension from the and which he still draw's at the rate of $24 per month. We respectfully submit that having received and still receiving so much from the people, his claims for the office on the grounds of his soldier record, are much inferior to those of Mr- Clark, who has received nothing.

Lastly all true apd honorable republicans should not forget that one year ago, Mr. Platt, after having pubiicly announced, over his own name, through the colupins, of this paper, that he wonld be a candidate for Marshal, subject to the decision of the republican town convention, and having entered that convention and being fairly defeated, he bolted the action of the convention, and was elected to the office mainly by the votes of the opposition party. These considerations might be much amplified and indefinitely increased in number, but enough has been said, as we believe to suggest to every thoughtful # republican voter in the town sufficient reason why Mr.' Clarkshouidbe unanimous* ly supported-by his party in next Monday’s election.' Two extensive political articles upon oue of our inside pages, are especially deserving of careful reading. One of them is from die Indianapolis Journal and is entitled “A Southern Campaign”, the other is from the Chicago Tribune and is headed “Democratic Incompetence.”

Rig Fire in Remiugion.

Stitz' loss it said to be about SBOO, on which there was, it is stated. $4,000 insurance. A number of reputable parties from Remington, who have been in Rensselaer since the fire, say that Stitz is openly accused of haviug been the author of it.

The Sunday School Convention.

The Jasper county Sunday school convention, jvhich met in the Baptist church, on Tuesday evening, and concluded its labors last evening, was a gratifying success. It wa9 largely attended by the people of the town, while Remington and the country schools were well represented. The programme of the convention was published two weeks ago in The Republican, and has been pretty closely carried out. A glance' at tho programme of exercises- arranged for tlie “Camp Fire” entertainment to be given at the Opera House to-morrow evening, will show that it cannot fail to be a very successful affair of the kind and well deserving of patronage sijnply upon its merits as a literary entertainment; but it has still higher claims upon the favor of this community. Its purposes fire wholly unselfish and patriotic. The proceeds are to be devoted to the fund, for erecting a monument m commamoration of the heroism of the soldiers of Indiana. Not alone for those who fell in the wav, as is stated in the bills, but for the tens of thousands of others, equally brave and less unfortunate, who survived the perils of war, and lived to enjoy the fruits of their victories.

Marriage Licenses.

The following parties were licensed to marry by the clerk of the J asper circuit court during the month of April: Clias. W. Faris, Martha L. Lane. Ferry Marlatt, Lizzie Dickman, Samuel L. Kingen, Hattie L. Masten. , Berry Retherford, Emma Nicholson, David H. Clark, Alice Westfall. Philip C. Wagner, Margaret Wilimers.

The Bird Law of Indiana

As this is the season of the year when the birds return to us from their winter's migrations, and as it is a matter of much importance to stop their unnecessary destruction we again publish the law of tbe state in regard to the billing of certain birds. Here it is: Whoever kills or injure?, or pursues with intent to do so, any turtle dove, sparrow, robin, blue bird, meadow lark, wren, swallow, martin thrush, mavis, oriole, red bird, grosbeak, yellow hammer, or flicker, catbird, ground robin’ pewee, or phoebe bird, cuckoo, indigo bird, nuthatch, creeper, yellow bird or fringilla, warbler or finch, red start, dummook, nightingale, dove, cross bill, or crake, great tit or blue tit, or wantonly destroys or disturbs the eggs of any such birds shall be fined not more than $lO, nor less than sl.
